Outback Mail Run Thursday, November 22, 2001 Ben joins one of the longest mail runs in the world this is Aussie posting at its best!John Stillwell has always lived in South Australia. For seven years, he was an opal miner in Coober Pedy and occasionally helped the previous mailman with his run. Seven years ago, he bought the business, and has driven the mail trip more than 700 times. When you consider the run covers 600km in just one day, you might imagine the job to be quite a lonely one. Not for John. While the mail side of things is controlled by Australia Post, John has incorporated a spot of tourism into his days and thoroughly enjoys showing people a remote part of Australia not seen by many. John says it a two way thing his passengers learn about the Australian outback, and he learns about their lives. There are usually three to eight passengers with John, mainly in winter because of the intense summer heat. They are always amazed by the vastness and flatness of the area. You drive for hours without seeing so much as a hill. The mail run, possibly Australia longest, follows a dirt road triangle, starting and finishing in Coober Pedy, taking in Oodnadatta and William Creek. On the way, John delivers mail to five stations and two towns. He carries an average of 20 bags of mail each trip, as well as large and interesting packages. To a lot of people, John offers a lifeline and takes them goods they cannot just pop out and buy. Just out of Coober Pedy, you will see the 5500km dingo fence, the longest ever built, keeping the wild dogs separate from sheep and cattle. About 60km further on is the huge salt lake, Cadibarrawirracanna, Aboriginal for stars reflecting on water. The first mail stop is at the world largest cattle station, Anna Creek. At 23,000 square kilometres, it is about the size of Holland. Next drop is at the famous William Creek Pub. Locals collect their mail next time they are in where there is a permanent population of seven. Numbers do pick up in the tourist season! An hour further on is Nilpinna Station comparatively small at 4000 square kilometres. On the way to Peake Station, the road follows the historic Ghan railway track, and you will see South Australia longest single bridge. A little further on you can cool off in the Algebuckina waterhole. An hour further on is the Allendale homestead and then it another 20 minutes to Oodnadatta, the second point of the triangle. Mail for the entire population of 180 is dropped at the Pink Roadhouse, famous for its huge Oodna burger. From there you make your way back to Coober Pedy, passing the moon like landscape that was used for filming Mad Max with Mel Gibson.

In October 2001 Youngdahl found out that sales of the Treasury Department's 30 year bonds were going to be cut off. He found this out before the news was made publicand gave his firm's Bond Traders the tip off. In a matter of minutes they made a killing estimated at 3.5 million. Ways need to be found to put scientists in the dock too. They have their own forms of Insider Trading and need to be held publicly accountable for their Scientific Fraud. So far they have had an easy ride. This particular buck starts and stops at the top with the United Nations and its corrupt Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which stands accused of knowingly undervaluing the sun's effects on historical and contemporary climate, overstating the past century's temperature increase, arbitrarily repealing a fundamental law of physics for political convenience and tripling the man made greenhouse effect to shoehorn its computer data into its prejudices. IPCC's third assessment report released four years ago is a Scientific Fraudright up there with the Blair Dodgy Dossier on non existent Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. The report implies that carbon dioxide ended the last four ice ages by displaying two 450 000 year graphsa sawtooth curve of temperature and a sawtooth of airborne CO2 that is scaled to look similar. Usually similar curves are superimposed for comparison. The IPCC Report didn't. If it had the truth would have shownthe changes in temperature preceded the changes in CO2 levels. In 1995 David Deminga geoscientist at the University of Oklahomareconstructed North America's historical temperatures from borehole data. He later wrote: 'With the publication of my article in Science I gained significant credibility in the community of scientists working on climate change. They thought I was one of themsomeone who would pervert science in the service of social and political causes.' One of the more important players foolishly let his guard slip and sent Deming an email that said 'We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.' So they did. The second IPCC Report in 1996 showed a 1000 year graph demonstrating that temperature in the Middle Ages was warmer than today. But the third IPCC Report in 2001 contained a new graph showing no medieval warm period. It concluded that the 20th century was the warmest for 1000 years. This is wrong. Here is how it was done. Firstly IPCC gave one technique for reconstructing pre thermometer temperature four hundred times more weight than any otherand omitted to mention the fact. The overweighted technique was one which IPCC's second report had said was unsafemeasurement of tree rings from bristlecone pines. Tree rings are wider in warmer years because temperature speeds up growth. But tree fertiliser speeds up growth too and one of them is carbon dioxide so this distorts the calculations unless some way is found to make allowance for shifting carbon dioxide levels. This might be bad science but need not be criminal. But closer scrutiny shows that the deception goes deepera domain of barefaced lying and Scientific Fraud. [1] IPCC stated that 24 data sets were included going back to 1400. IPCC then used a computer model to draw the graph from the data. Now anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of statistics knows you can best fit data to any curve. Give it a=x+b and you will get a straight line. Give it a=x to the power of b and you will get a curve. IPCC asked for hockey sticks so it got themeven from random electronic 'red noise' you will get your hockey stick by best fitting it to the hockey stick equation. [2] The large full colour hockey stick was the only graph to appear six times in the IPCC Third Report in 2001. The Canadian Government copied it to every household. It is a lie. It took four years for a leading scientific journal to publish the truth. It was ignored. The good news is that the US Senate investigated. They unearthed a conspiracy, labelling the graph 'meretricious' and noted that known associates of the scientists who had compiled the graph wrote many of the papers supporting its conclusions. Peer Review is review by cronies who agree with your prejudices. Bad scientists make a big deal of peer view. Good scientists like nothing more than to hear the results of their research argued with reckless bias for and against. IPCCand the Stern Reportpretend the graph is not important. But scores of scientific papers show the medieval warm period was real, global and up to 3 degrees Celsius warmer than now. [3] There were no glaciers in the tropical Andes, Viking farms in Greenland and little ice at the North Pole when a Chinese naval squadron sailed round the Arctic in 1421. [1] All good stories have their heroes and villains. The heroes are many. There is Sonia Boehmer Christiansen, Editor of the obscure (but peer reviewed) scientific journal Energy and Environment and a diverse bunch of scientists and non scientists behind the Climate Skeptics website. Chief among these was one of the website's mainstays a brilliant mathematician and by trade a semi retired Canadian mining engineer, Steve McIntyre. It was McIntyre and Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics at the University of Guelph who did the detective work that led eventually to the publication on 27th October 2003 in Volume 14, Issue 6 of Energy and Environment of the most influential scientific whistle blowing article of the past hundred years entitled Corrections to the Mann et al. (1998) proxy data base and northern hemisphere average temperature series (Energy Environment 2003; 14: 751 771). The rest, as they say, is history. Montford provides a thrilling non scientific narrative that digs deep into the science wars behind the Hockey Stick saga; published by Stacey International and available from UK bookshops. My copy came from Blackwells in Oxford and cost me 10.99 (ISBN: 9 78 1 906768 35 5). [3] Two other books published last year that provide an excellent treatment of this subject are Chill: a reassessment of global warming by Peter Taylor (Clairview; ISBN 978 1 905570 19 5) and The Real Global Warming Disaster by Christopher Booker (Continuum; ISBN 978 1 4411 1052 7). I am sick to the back teeth even farther back than that actually of all the rubbish spouted by lying scientists with their vested interests. I need to include your information on my website just as an aside when I am writing about weather in London. Then maybe as a separate article. I am concerned about the environment. I don't want it poisoned and clean energy needs to be found and harnessed. The C02 increase fear is ridiculous. The blog owner changed this comment on 2009 06 17 14:49:31 I would just like to say that there isn't that much of a major concern over global warming anymore. One of the two major political parties (Republicans) has no interest in addressing climate change. In fact, Republicans are increasingly denying that climate change is even a problem. The public is much more concerned about creating jobs and fixing the economy, and as a result climate change has been put on the backburner. A 2009 study by Michael Mann et al. finds that the MWP shows "warmth that matches or exceeds that of the past decade in some regions, but which falls well below recent levels globally".[21] Their reconstruction of MWP pattern is characterised by warmth over large part of North Atlantic, Southern Greenland, the Eurasian Arctic, and parts of North America which appears to substantially exceed that of the late 20th century (1961 1990) baseline and is comparable or exceeds that of the past one to two decades in some regions. Certain regions such as central Eurasia, northwestern North America, and (with less confidence) parts of South Atlantic, exhibit anomalous coolness. As a result of browsing through the net and seeing views which are not productive, I assumed my life was well over. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the issues you have fixed as a result of your entire post is a serious case, and ones that could have negatively damaged my entire career if I had not come across your web site. That expertise and kindness in dealing with a lot of stuff was crucial. I am not sure what I would've done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I'm able to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks so much for your skilled and sensible guide. I will not hesitate to suggest your blog to anybody who needs and wants support about this topic.

Cheap Air Jordan 4 Columbia 2015,Air Jordan 13 Reflective Silver While most folks will want to turn around at Barr Camp, it's theoretically possible to ride to the summit. The toll road goes to the summit for those who find a willing friend to drive a shuttle vehicle. However you ride it, Barr trail is one tough cookie with more than 7,000 feet in altitude change! Try to enjoy the spectacular views while struggling to take in the ever decreasing oxygen. Watch out for other travelers on this busy trail! Located in Manitou Springs. Tread: 11.7 miles of singletrack. While most folks will want to turn around at Barr Camp, it's theoretically possible to ride to the summit. The toll road goes to the summit for those who find a willing friend to drive a shuttle vehicle. However you ride it, Barr trail is one tough cookie with more than 7,000 feet in altitude change! Try to enjoy the spectacular views while struggling to take in the ever decreasing oxygen. Watch out for other travelers on this busy trail! Located in Manitou Springs. Tread: 11.7 miles of singletrack. Excellently maintained trail. Hiked from trail head to the summit. Time was 5.5 hours. Make sure you bring water, however you can refill at Barr Camp. Hundreds of beautiful views so take a camera. Be prepared for weather changes near the top. The last 3 miles can be challenging as there are more rocks to hike over and there may snow to trudge through (as much as 2.5 feet deep). Not to mention the air is quite thin at that altitude. I pre purchased a train ticket to ride the Cog Rail back down the mountain. A round trip hike could take 10 hours or more. In preparation for the Pikes Peak Mountain Bike Race, I rode my mtb from Manitou Springs to the summit of Pikes Peak via Barr Trail. From the bottom to Barr Camp the trail is very ridable, an excellent workout. About a mile or so past Barr Camp the rocks imbedded in the trail get much bigger and, with the decreasing oxygen, grade gets steeper, and dirt gets looser, the trek turns into a hike a bike session long and grueling, especially wearing Sidi cycling shoes with pedal cleats. But then about 100 yards from the summit the trail becomes ridable again. It's totally cool when the flatlander tourists see you ride up. I saw 3 different video cameras pointed at me and several still camera shots. Then numerous came over to ask all about journey. Talk about an ego booster. Great trail. Barr Camp is a life saver for water. The descent is just about as painful as the ascent, considering how fatigued from going up. Going down you realize just how steep it is. Be prepared to buy a new set of break pads after the descent. Good luck. Air Jordan 4 Columbia 2015 Monday, driver Roy Sveinson will make history behind the wheel of Selkirk's first public transit bus run. "I was a highway driver for 35 years," said Sveinson, one of Selkirk Transit's three drivers, who is looking forward to being closer to home and the first to welcome Selkirk transit riders aboard. "Age before beauty," joked fellow driver Dean Bird, who would've liked the inaugural run. Saturday. There will be no service on Sunday or holidays. And there will be no charge until Canada Day. Starting July 2, fares are $2 for everyone, except children five and under. "It signals a coming of age for our city," said Duane Nicol, the deputy mayor who led the project. It's taken more than six years to get Selkirk residents a municipal bus service. Selkirk's population has decreased from 9,752 in 2001 to 9,515 in 2006, according to the last census. Nicol said the community will attract more people and investment whether seniors housing or industry with reliable municipal transit. "Now, you either walk, cab it, or get a friend to drive you," said Selkirk resident Joe Swieszko. The retired Winnipeg bus driver was on the task force trying to get a transit system for Selkirk six years ago. "I volunteered because they really needed help," he said. He left after one year because he found the process agonizingly slow. "They discussed things to death." Swieszko is glad the idea didn't die, though. "This will be an added convenience here for lots of people," he said at the Selkirk fire hall, where he watched the ribbon cutting ceremony with the mayor, a cabinet minister, the area MLA and Nicol, who saw the project through to the end. "When this whole thing started, I didn't have grey hair," said Nicol. The province's funding commitment is what sealed the deal, he said. The province will cover half of the $180,000 annual operating cost, Nicol said. Manitoba's 50 50 transit funding partnership also provides financial support to public transit in Flin Flon, Thompson, Brandon and Winnipeg. Selkirk doesn't have Winnipeg's traffic or crowds but its bus drivers will still have a challenge, said Winnipeg Transit's John Vagi, who trained them.
