In 2002, ACER materials were part of Environment Canada’s presentation on biodiversity at a world conference in Johannesburg that celebrated the tenth anniversary of Rio de Janeiro achievements. Since then, ACER has established many other community-based one hectare forest monitoring sites across Ontario that are maintained by scientists, communities and volunteers. In 1996 ACER received funding from Environment Canada Action 21 to establish sites and develop resources to undertake community-based, long-term monitoring of biodiversity in our forest ecosystems in a standardized, scientifically-sound manner, using national protocols to track changes in biodiversity. The tree data are entered into a standard format report (excel) and published on our website. Labels are attached to the trees for future reference. Within the one-hectare plots, all trees having a diameter breast height (DBH) of 4 cm or more are measured for size, height and health. Using internationally recognized Smithsonian protocols, we have established one-hectare monitoring plots with a variety of community partners at 18 sites in southern Ontario. ![]() ![]() ACER with a variety of partners, established many of these plots across Southern and Central Ontario. Canada adopted the Biodiversity convention and has now 80 plots using Smithsonian protocol. ACER and BiodiversityĪCER is a leader in long-term biodiversity monitoring in Ontario.Īs a result of the Rio de Janeiro international conference, a biodiversity convention was signed and the Smithsonian Institution was commissioned to develop protocol to inventory, then monitor, forests using one-hectare plots. ACER’s tree planting, measuring and monitoring initiatives have helped and continue to help make communities greener, safer and healthier. Over the last 35 years ACER has worked to educate schools and communities on the importance of biodiversity, and better understand and respond to the impacts of climate change, with a specific focus on trees and their crucial role in our environment. The Association for Canadian Educational Resources is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 with the goal to create Canadian educational materials and activities for students of all ages.

![]() ![]() Part of this plan includes cooperative housing and collective businesses, starting with homeless and unemployed individuals. If you have internet access, (If not I will provide a printed version), please read the other posts on my blog,, to see my ideas about alleviating poverty while saving the taxpayers’ money at the same time. I believe terrorism, (including terrorism committed by our country), is the fourth most important problem facing the people of our planet. I believe we should adopt the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) in place of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) because it is a more accurate method of measuring Progress, and by doing so it will help to protect the environment. If we hope to rid the world of the threat of terrorism this will be a necessary requirement. If we hope to bring the standard of living of the rest of world up to anything approaching the standard of living of many of the countries of the developed nations, then we must learn to share the Earth’s resources in a more equal and cooperative way. If we are going to prevent all the disastrous consequences of climate change then we must begin to use the resources of the planet more efficiently. I believe this is the most important issue facing our planet. The third plank on my platform is the issue of climate change. See: : The name 'Vikings' in Minnesota Vikings should be changed. I am calling for the elimination of the word 'Vikings' in the name of the Minnesota football team. The Vikings left a legacy of murder, rape and slavery wherever they went. They were also in the Americas, initiating the genocidal activities towards the Native Americans, which was then continued after the arrival of Columbus, some 500 years later. In Europe, the Vikings went on a rampage, where they would attack undefended villages, killing everyone, including the women and children.Įven the clergy were killed in the name of Odin. The problem of inadequate protection in poor neighborhoods is at least as important as the issue of police abuse by some police officers toward people in these neighborhoods.Īnother way to prevent violence, is to stop glorifying the purveyors of violence, those from the past, as well as those in the present. I am proposing that we do that by establishing a Basic Income Guarantee for all of our citizens.īut we must go beyond just their material and medical needs, to include the right to adequate and equal protection by the police and our courts. That means we must take care of the basic needs of all of our citizens. I believe that we are, or ought to be, our brothers’ and sisters’ keeper. A problem which disproportionately affects poor and homeless people and people of color. That support is necessary to the second plank on my platform, which is violence prevention. At the same time I support the majority of police officers who daily risk their lives for our safety and security. These include, but are not limited to homelessness, hunger and the lack of proper health care, education, transportation, the lack of legal representation and greater instances of bias and abuse by some police officers, especially toward people of color. ![]() Then, as now, I am running on a platform, that has as its first priority, the alleviation of poverty and all the consequences that follow. ![]() You may remember me from my 2013 Minneapolis Mayoral campaign, or my run, in 2014, for Hennepin County Commissioner, District 4.

Place Of Birth: Delivered by her father a month premature on a couch in Greenwich, Connecticut. Most of the rumours are obviously blatant untruths and should not be taken seriously. Please keep in mind that a lot of the information in the 'Rumours' section are only rumours, and should not be perceived as fact. My goal is to represent her in the most flattering manner, but it isn't always possible with all of the negative media surrounding her. I don't get my 'Rumours' section with the help of National Enquirer or Star, but from fashion and celebrity magazines, and much of the information obtained was made possible with the help of Bijou's own statements in interviews. She was planning on being Drew Barrymore's stunt double for a small scene in Woody Allen's film Everyone Says I Love You, which also stars Edward Norton, Natalie Portman, and Natasha Lyonne.Īll of this information has been obtained through magazines and articles found on the Internet. She was going to be in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Tried to have sex with a girl at a club with a "gargantuan dildo." Lost her virginity to Evan Dando of The Lemonheads. Accidentally chopped off a boy's finger while showing a magic trick to him in a club. Stayed in France at Mlles Copeland's Rock - N - Roll Chateau, where she wrote a song a day with musicians such as Belinda Carlisle, Jane Weidlen, and Howard Jones. She acted in a Sublime video in Hollywood. ![]() She calls models and make - up artists vultures who need reality checks and a life, and would love to see models like Jaime Ryshar and James King working at McDonald's because they were "fire - spitters" who took competition over the edge. She has been on the covers of such magazines as Bikini, Entertainment Weekly, Interview, Ocean Drive, and Italian Vogue, and has recently been featured in Details, MEAN, Paper, Teen People, and Black Book. She joined a rehabilitation center in Arizona to help her get off of drugs. When she was fifteen years old, she learned how to play the guitar with the help of her father and also composed her own songs. ![]() Abused government controlled substances in her past. At fourteen years old, she began living on her own and became a well - known fashion model for Elite, only to move on to Company in New York, doing high profile ad campaigns for Calvin Klein's "kiddie porn" series. ![]() At thirteen years old she began to do a little modeling for Jil Stuart.

The actual patina creation comes from a plethora of different things. For people that like to be different and stand apart from the crowd, a Patina car or truck is perfect. So, your truck is unique to you and no one else on the planet will have the same identical truck. Also, every truck is going to rust and fade differently. The more original the body with tons of faded paint, oxidized sheet metal, and even battle wounds like bullet holes and dents and dings the better! The appeal for most is they love the nostalgic look of something that is 60 or 70 years old. A typical Patina truck will wear the same original body but be completely transformed into a modern riding and driving vehicle underneath. The patina trend was born from that and naturally like anything has progressed to what you see today. As time progressed the rat rod craze took hold with people that didn’t have the money to spend on body and paintjobs but preferred to just build something on their own and focus on function over form. Rat rods have been around since the 50’s when GI’s came back from war, they wanted to build a hot rod inexpensively and focus on going fast not necessarily worried about the looks of the vehicle. ![]() Rat rods where cars or trucks pieced together with whatever spare parts you had laying around the garage or stuff you could purchase cheaply in a junkyard. ![]() What is this craze of people leaving their truck or cars rusty and crusty looking? Is it a fad or is it something hear to stay?

Unsure of what it was, he revealed it was the Bennington demo from their early album sessions.Īfter sharing it with Slash, they agreed to reach out to Bennington's widow Talinda about the possibility of doing something with the song. But years later, the producer was clearing out some space when he came across a file titled "Demo Fast No. READ MORE: Why Does Slash Always Wear a Top Hat? What Happened to "Crazy" and When Did It Resurface?įlores revealed that the demo with Bennington had mostly been forgotten about as Slash had moved forward with the music for his solo set. The lyrics and song title changed by the time the album was released, but there's a definite guitar similarity between the two tracks. The song eventually morphed into "Doctor Alibi," a track recorded with Lemmy Kilmister on the 2010 Slash album. While Bennington's demo with Slash had to be shelved, Slash's guitar work was put to use in another form. Why Does "Crazy" Sound a Little Familiar? In fact, the demo lived on his computer for years with not even a proper song title. "We had to scrap it and shelve that and it kind of got lost in the matrix all those years," revealed Flores. Slash's solo record came out in March of 2010, while Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns later arrived in September. In this case, as revealed by producer Big Chris Flores in the episode, Slash had called Bennington to his studio to work on a demo of the song "Crazy." But after the fact, Bennington learned that he would be unable to give permission for its usage as the record label had balked at having him on a song that might compete for attention as Linkin Park were releasing a new album. ![]() It's titled "Crazy." Why Was "Crazy" Never Released?Īs tends to happen when artists are on different record labels, occasionally collaborations run into some red tape. Now, 13 years later, the song Bennington worked on with Slash has been revealed exclusively through the Appetite for Distortion podcast. As it turned out, one such vocalist who ended up not being on the record was late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. Slash, before Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators became his solo band, was working on his first solo album, recruiting a number of name musicians to lend vocals to the record. ![]() Well, till now, because now it’s gonna be Kim and me on the Internet with boob tape bras… forever (and these images will stay, because we love you like that).Īfter wearing Gaff Tape at the wedding (it worked like a charm), and y’all asking me to share more details, we whipped up a little test in the APW laboratories. (I mean, Kim is notorious for rocking whatever she wears, wherever she goes.)īut as it turns out, while a few people have tested out the Gaffer Tape trick (and Buzzfeed has a great article demonstrating how it works on a variety of cup sizes- too bad the images are gone from that post, now), only Kim Kardashian was willing to show the world how it looked (and worked) on her actual boobs. (And not just because I’m a theatre major who’s used Gaff tape to stick down any number of cords to the floor and to spike any number of stages.) A quick google search of Gaffer Tape Bra, lead me to “Kim Kardashian’s boob tape trick,” and I immediately knew it was go-time, and this would be the answer to all my worries. I solved it by ordering a pile of stick-on bras and fashion tape from Amazon, and then having a screen pop up that said, “People who ordered these things also ordered flesh-colored Gaffer tape.” And in one SECOND, I knew why. I’d like to say that I solved the problem with my in-depth googling skills and stylist connections. Had someone finally made a more fashion appropriate-or at least in-a-variety-of-flesh-tones-version of this product? Was this idea totally bonkers? I work in a fashion adjacent industry, WHY DIDN’T I KNOW THE ANSWER? So last month, I kept circling around this idea. ![]() I feel like the story should end here, with, “And I really don’t recommend it,” but it was more or less fine. So with my theatre kid ingenuity, I dug up some Duct Tape and… Duct Taped my boobs. I’d bought the ’90s version of a stick-on bra, and even for my at-the-time B cup, they were a total last-minute fail, and I needed support. If it didn’t work at the last minute, THEN WHAT?īut I kept circling back to what happened when I was getting ready for prom. The week before the wedding, I kept looking at the stick-on bra box and feeling panicked. I gotcha covered… more details on that below.) (Spoiler alert: They don’t really, but boob tape just might. But for some reason, even though I know better, I let myself be seduced by the idea that stick-on bras really work for busty ladies. The only issue is that I’m in the range of a D(+) cup, and after two pregnancies and two rounds of nursing, my boobs no longer defy gravity. In some flush of optimism, I picked a strappy dress with a plunging neckline. Last month, I was in a family wedding (mostly as a child wrangler, but still).

So the seller has taken this Chevy completely apart, has a ton of parts, and has started on the restoration but he became disabled two years ago and cannot complete this formidable task. This is a departure from the Chevelle passenger car where the 396 engine meant a “138” VIN prefix and SS designation – the 396 engine was not available in non-SS Chevelles. And as the seller states, so equipped, it was not designated as a Super Sport (SS) model until the 1968 model year. Starting in 1966, Chevrolet offered their fairly new 396 CI engine as an option in the El Camino. What is notable, however, is this Camino’s powertrain. We’ve covered the El Camino many times here on Barn Finds before so there’s no reason to traverse that ground again in this post. Thanks to Barn Finder extraordinaire Larry D for this tip! Besides being in pieces, it’s in Yakima, Washington and available, here on eBay for a starting bid of $5,000 and a BIN price of $12,500. So continuing with my mild obsession, let’s examine what I would call “muscle truck potential” in the form of a 1967 Chevrolet El Camino. ![]() Yet still, I find poring over the pieces and thinking, “Hmmm, what if…” and I guess that’s addictive.
