McKinley Bridge Bikeway Description
The McKinley Bridge has a long and storied past. In 1910, it opened to both railroad and vehicular traffic. Railroad tracks ran through the strong center portion of the bridge under the trusses, and vehicles crossed on exterior lanes supported by cantilevers. In its early days, the Illinois Traction System used the bridge in its far reaching network of electric streetcars and billed it as the world's longest electric bridge. And the bridge once carried traffic of the historic U.S. Route 66. The bridge was closed for major repairs from 2001 to 2007. It reopened with two traffic lanes down the center, and the south exterior lane fitted as a separate pedestrian and bicycle trailway.
The views from the bridge bikeway are truly amazing. You'll see other bridges and the broad St. Louis skyline to the south; barge traffic passing on the Mississippi River beneath; and heavy industrial river operations as far as the eye can see. Signs along the trail also point out that the Missouri–Illinois state line is right in the middle of the bridge.
Another significant feature of this bridge bikeway is its connection to other trails in the area. At each end it connects directly to long, north-south trails along the river. On the Missouri side, the St. Louis Riverfront Trail runs nearly 12 miles between the bridges of I-270 to the north and I-55/I-64/I-70 to the south. On the Illinois side, the MCT Confluence Trail starts at the bridge and runs north over 18 miles to the city of Alton. A popular 22-mile bicycling loop adds a second river crossing on the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. The loop: McKinley-Riverfront-Rocks-Confluence.
The only parking for this trail is at the trailhead at McKinley Bridge Roadside Park in Venice, IL.
To get there from I-70 in Missouri, take Exit 248A/Salisbury Street and follow the signs onto McKinley Street eastbound. Once over the bridge, turn right immediately to enter the roadside park.
To get there from I-270 in Illinois, take Exit 3 onto State Route 3 South/Lewis and Clark Boulevard. At 5.4 miles, SR 3 becomes Cedar Street. Continue 2.1 miles to Broadway, where SR 3 turns left and Cedar Street continues straight ahead toward the bridge. Continue on Cedar Street just 0.2 miles more and turn left into the roadside park.

McKinley Bridge Bikeway Reviews
Right in the Middle of Things. Almost.
July, 2013 by wilhelmggw
It is so good to have a bona fide bike trail across the river, so close to all the things to see and do in downtown St. Louis! This is a really tranquil river crossing. You can feel at ease to stop and enjoy the sights and sounds of the journey. The park on the east end is a beautiful, safe place to park the car and rest, too. This old bridge has so much history! Great to ponder while crossing, "How would this have been back when...?"

Metal Sucks Album Review: Erimha's Reign Through Immortality Alice in Chains are Still On Good Terms with the Parent...
Album Review: Erimha's Reign Through Immortality
July 9th, 2013 at 3:30pm
MetalSucks
Many metal fans have long given up on Victory Records, whose quality metal roster has been dwindling over the years in favor of easily marketable Warped Tour/Hot Topic drek. With this in mind, it was quite surprising when the polarizing label announced the signing of Canadian symphonic black metal group Erimha. This was understandably a head scratcher that left many questioning the legitimacy of the act. A black metal band signed to Victory Records? Surely Erimha would chalk up to little more than a Cradle of Filth knock-off that missed the boat. As it turns out though, Erimha are in fact legitimate, and Reign Through Immortality is a powerful breakout that discards any and all comparison to their labelmates.
Though Erimha wear their influences on their sleeves, Reign Through Immortality is extreme, chaotic, and just the right amount of epic. All the staples for melodic and symphonic black metal popularized by Emperor and Dimmu Borgir are present and employed by Erimha, with a touch of Behemoth's death-influenced take on the genre. There are no gimmicks here, at least if you ignore the corpse paint; Erimha brings a modern sheen to each of the aforementioned groups' classics, and does the sound with enough justice that Reign Through Immortality holds up as equal to each of their latest records. Well, save for Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire and Demise, anyway.
On the surface, Reign Through Immortality may seem to tread too heavily on these established grounds, with Erihma failing to carve a path of their own in which they can develop their own identity. Whether it be the predictable intro track, the start-stop riffing in 'Condemned To Desolation,' or the slower and more melodic 'Metaphysic Countenance,' this is a record that can be taken at face value as a solid genre entry. However, Reign Through Immortality is a fast grower that becomes something much more than just passable. On successive listens, Erimha establish themselves as charismatic and well-versed musicians. What was once perceived as well-intentioned mimicry is actually an exhibition of the band's extensive knowledge on what makes for a stand-out symphonic extreme metal record.
There's something deeply satisfying about Reign Through Immortality, and this can be at least partially attributed to the thick production that makes the record so crushing. Thankfully, Erimha favors Behemoth when it comes to tonality, giving Reign Through Immortality a predominate low-end presence with punchy drums and audibly crunchy bass. When factoring the symphonic elements and walls of chaotic guitars, Reign Through Immortality sounds absolutely massive, particularly in the ten-minute finale,"Metempsychosis."
Erimha exists in a realm where theatrics and symphonic elements aren't overly campy or cheesy, especially when done with the confidence and talent to pull it off. Sure, Reign Through Immortality isn't the most unique album to come out this year, but it takes the best bits from Dimmu Borgir and Behemoth's discography to create powerful music that not only doesn't disappoint, but surprises listeners by its near-flawless execution.
Erimha's Reign Through Immortality is out now on Victory. You can stream the song "Condemned to Desolation" here and purchase the album here.

TAD Comes to UK
04. April 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hifi News, Uncategorized · Tags: hifi news
Founded in 1975 in Tokyo, Technical Audio Devices Laboratories (TAD Labs) is known for its professional loudspeaker drivers used in recording studios.
In the late 1990s TAD Labs branched out to develop high-end audio systems for consumers', its first product being the revolutionary TAD Model-1 loudspeaker. Designed by director of engineering Andrew Jones – in collaboration with industrial designer Allen Boothroyd of Boothroyd-Stuart Meridian fame – it was the first loudspeaker in the world to feature a concentric driver in which both the 3.5cm tweeter dome and 16cm midrange cone are formed of beryllium.
Since the turn of the Century TAD Labs has developed a range of ultra-high-end loudspeakers and partnering audio electronics to drive them. Each component is meticulously hand-crafted to order and until now the exceedingly rare
TAD CD/SACD player – TAD pre/power amplifiers – TAD loudspeakers have only being available in Japan and North America.
TAD Labs' exclusive UK agent is NuNu Distribution who is supplying GX Audio of Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.
GX Audio's PR spokesperson Anne enthused:
"We are honoured to have been selected as the UK & Ireland's representatives for TAD Laboratories. TAD products are renowned to be peerless in the world of ultra high fidelity sound. While their availability is limited, and they are unquestionably expensive, it's a thrill for us to be able to make them obtainable here for music lovers, audiophiles and sound engineers alike.
"Currently there is only one pair of TAD Reference One speakers in this country – in the mastering room used for sound quality analysis by engineers Ray Staff and Matt Colton at London's AIR Studios. We predict that for music lovers' living rooms the smaller TAD Compact Reference speakers will be the speaker of choice among perfectionists looking for the best sound quality that money can buy. For large listening rooms the Reference Ones are arguably the finest high fidelity transducers in the world, while the recently-introduced Evolution One floorstander represents extraordinarily good value in the world of precision-crafted high-end audio.
"Everyone who hears TAD components is left breathless and simply lost for words, such is the clarity and purity of their sound quality. TAD hi-fi systems make music recordings simply come alive."
The TAD range includes Loudspeakers, amplifiers, DACs and CD players. Hifi PIg wishes NuNU Distribution and GX Audio all the very best.

To deliver fantastic playing experiences, several background measures must be in place. This ensures the best-quality iPad online games and graphics, and keeps game play running smoothly.
Firstly, the software that powers the casino should always be known and reputable, as it is at every iPad casino we review, and should be verified to be optimal with your device. Different providers also create different user interfaces and you may find that you prefer some much more than others, which can influence your decision.
You should also be able to access good customer service around the clock, through multiple channels so that you can choose what is most convenient. In the same way, there should be a variety of trusted banking opportunities.
Lastly, your iPad casino should be licensed and certified by recognised authorities, and endorsed by respected international bodies. With so many fine establishments meeting these criteria, you don't ever need to settle for less.
Exploring your different iPad casino options can be great fun, and our handy guide and reviews will help you steer clear of any pitfalls. All the best Malaysian online casinos have been reviewed and rated here, and iOS optimised entertainment is just a touch of the screen away!

Adorable Golden Retriever Therapy Dog Is Comforting California's Firefighters Amidst Wildfires
By Emma Taggart on September 29, 2020

Day after day, firefighters and other emergency responders are risking their lives to contain the wildfires in California. According to the California Statewide Fire Summary report published on September 28, there are currently 27 major fires still blazing throughout The Golden State, and over 18,000 firefighters on the front lines. The response team plays an integral role in keeping people safe, but their daily tasks are no doubt exhausting and stressful. That's why a two-year-old Golden Retriever named Kerith has been visiting firefighter base camps in order to provide some much-needed emotional support.
Kerith was initially raised to become a guide dog for the visually impaired, but her owner Heidi Carman decided that she was ultimately suited to being a certified therapy dog instead, due to her cute charisma and calm demeanor. "Kerith has the ability to make the people she interacts with feel special, loved, and important," Carman tells My Modern Met. "Kerith loves people more than other dogs or anything else. It was clear to me from an early age that she would be an excellent therapy dog because of her love and devotion to people." Carman continues, "She has a gift of giving her love and attention to all she meets. I saw that in her and knew I needed to share her love with others."
After completing her official training through an organization called Pet Partners, Kerith has been busy helping patients, medical staff, and paramedics in the emergency department at her local hospital. However, ever since the wildfires began blazing in August 2020, the lovable dog started visiting the firefighters at Woodward Fire base camp in Marin County and the Creek Fire base camp in Fresno County.
A typical day consists of Kerith and Carman getting to the base camp around 6am, when the crew is eating breakfast and preparing for their next 24-hour shift, or recovering from a night shift. They spend four hours walking up and down the rows of parked fire engines to stop and greet the crew. "Kerith matches people's energy; meaning, if a firefighter is super excited and lays on the ground so Kerith can roll around and play with them, then Kerith will be higher energy and silly with them," explains Carman. "If a firefighter is calm, stressed, and withdrawn, Kerith will be calm as well. She will sit closely to the individual, sometimes sit on their feet and lean into their body in a way that says 'I am here for you as long as you need me.'"
Check out some photos of Kerith and the firefighters below, and if you want to help this "friendly, wiggly, ball of fuzzy love" do more great work, you can support her mission on GoFundMe. And if you can't get enough of Kerith, she even has her own book, available to buy on Amazon.

The good girl spends four hours a day comforting firefighters before they begin their next 24-hour shift.

Holy Trinity Church Christmas Tree Festival!
Some of our Junior Governors were very busy on Thursday 30th November. The children collected the decorations, made by the children at Wyburns, and carried them up to Holy Trinity Church in Rayleigh. The children then helped to decorate our 'Sparkle Spectacular' tree!
Thank you for doing such a great job and representing Wyburns so well! Thank you to Lottie, Ethan, Adam, Melissa, Liam and Heidi!


We pride ourselves on the care, well-being and happiness of all our dogs during their six months quarantine stay, look at our owners page to see what they have said about our Centre on behalf of their pets.
Our kennels are relatively new and have been built to a high standard and are fully insulated. The kennels have double wire fencing between the exercise runs to allow the dogs to see each other, they can run up and down with their neighbours and get to know them. The runs are attached to the kennels and are larger than the Ministry of Agriculture requirements for three dogs sharing. Each dog is provided with a plastic basket to suit and plenty of dry, clean bedding. We have kennels that are licensed to take up to three dogs from the same owner.
Outdoor covered run 5ft 10in x 19' 9"
We have first class brands of dog food including food for those with a delicate stomach. All dogs are fed according to breed and type and there are alternatives if your dog does not like his/her diet. We have a range of wet and dry foods. We do accommodate for special diets and requirements wherever practical and possible. All our canines seem to thrive on the food they are given. Our boarding fee includes whichever formula is most suitable from our range of food. We do give good night treats as required.
Here at Yorkshire International grooming is a very important part of our care. Your dog will be bathed, brushed and nails clipped, if needed, on a regular basis (the longer coated dogs more often to keep their coats free from tangles). This comes at no extra charge to you. If a professional is required to clip your pet, this can be arranged at an extra cost to the customer.
We do a late check each evening at around 9pm, when the dogs are let out. We then bring them back in and they are given treats to help them settle down for the night. We make sure each dog is well before retiring ourselves.

Alberta Teachers' Association > News and Info > ATA News > Volume 50 2015-16 > Number-6 > Liberal Education
November 3, 2015 ATA News Staff
Looking at the new federal government through teachers' eyes
The federal election held Oct. 19 saw Canadians elect a Liberal majority government.
What does this mean for public education in Alberta?
The ATA News combed through the Liberal Party of Canada's campaign materials and other documents to find out where the new government stands on some of the issues that matter to teachers.
"We will work with First Nations to make sure that every First Nations child receives a quality education."
"To help close the funding gap and improve outcomes for First Nations students, we will invest new funding each year in core funding for kindergarten through grade 12 programs. This will include money committed by Stephen Harper that has yet to flow, plus an additional $300 million per year in incremental funding, totalling $750 million per year by the end of our first mandate. Over the next four years, this represents a $2.6 billion new investment in helping First Nations students learn and succeed."
"We will also invest $500 million over the next three years for immediate First Nations education infrastructure. This funding is incremental to existing education infrastructure commitments already made to First Nations."
"We will never act unilaterally on First Nations education. We believe in First Nations control of First Nations education, with the federal government working nation-to-nation as a partner to ensure the goals set by First Nations are achieved. We will also support First Nation-led initiatives with respect to jurisdiction over education."
"We will work with residential school survivors, First Nations, the Métis Nation, Inuit communities, provinces, territories and educators to find ways for educational curricula across the country to incorporate Aboriginal and Treaty rights, residential schools and the contributions of Indigenous Peoples to Canada."
"We will provide substantial new funding to support the ability of Indigenous communities to promote, preserve and enhance their languages and cultures."
"We will work alongside provinces and territories, and with First Nations, the Métis Nation and Inuit, to enact the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, starting with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."
"We will develop a child care framework that meets the needs of Canadian families, wherever they live."
"Child care needs vary from family to family, and provinces and territories have responded to these needs in different ways. A one-size-fits-all national program — particularly one that imposes pre-determined costs on other orders of government — is impractical and unfair."
"We will meet with provinces, territories and Indigenous communities to begin work on a new National Early Learning and Child Care Framework, to deliver affordable, high-quality, flexible and fully inclusive child care for Canadian families. This work will begin in the first 100 days of a Liberal government and will be funded through our investments in social infrastructure."
"The framework we design together will be administered in collaboration with, and in respect of, provincial jurisdictions."
"We will introduce a new Canada Child Benefit. Tax-free, tied to income and delivered monthly, this benefit provides greater support to those who need help most: single-parent families and low-income families. It will lift 315,000 children out of poverty."
"Reducing child poverty will also require, among other things, a substantial and sustained commitment to affordable housing. Liberals will help ease Canadian families' cost of living by making the investments needed to guarantee that housing is available and accessible to all those that need it."
"We will make high-quality mental health services more available to Canadians who need them."
"Liberals believe that the federal government must take a leadership role in the fight against mental illness. We will work with provinces and territories to promote mental health, prevent mental illness and expand care and support services—particularly for children, youth and their families."
Teacher tax benefit
"Teachers and early childhood educators work hard to provide a positive learning environment for our children, often paying out of pocket for classroom supplies. It is a generous gesture that is not currently recognized by our federal tax system."
"To help offset these costs, we will introduce a new Teacher and Early Childhood Educator School Supply Tax Benefit. This new benefit will apply to the purchase of up to $1,000 worth of school supplies each year, providing a cash benefit of up to $150 each year for licensed and certified teachers and educators, starting in the 2015 tax year."
"Because this benefit will operate as a refundable tax credit, all educators who have purchased educational materials qualify, regardless of their income level."
Bill C-377
"We will restore fair and balanced labour laws that acknowledge the important role of unions in Canada, and respect their importance in helping the middle class grow and prosper. This begins with repealing Bills C-377 and C-525, legislation that diminishes and weakens Canada's labour movement."

yes mega_septile is still active he was online yesterday.
Hey, it's not like I have to time to keep track of this stuff.
Must it originate from gen six?
Hey grunt in the future use the comment section for these kinds of things rather than the answer.
I mainly used Pokemon Showdown. I started at Chespin and just went up by number. I just searched for an ice type/electric type move for most of these since they are less common than rock/ground moves, then checked for all four types if they did know electric/ice type moves. Some of these, like Carbink, only have status moves for a certain type.
Why? Did I miss one?
Not really. It's just that I'm naturally suspicious that not enough quality gets put into things, especially in making big lists.
Aren't Ground and Rock types practically the same also?

Spring looks have a bit of an urban edge too.
Coffee pro opens new espresso & whiskey bar in Dallas Design District
Luciana Gomez
Cappuccino and a pastry at Triumphs Coffee.
A new coffee shop from an acclaimed name in the Dallas coffee world has opened in Dallas' Design District: Called Triumphs Espresso & Whiskey, it's at 141 Manufacturing St. #110, and it's from Mike Mettendorf, whose prior java ventures include State Street Coffee in Uptown Dallas, La Reunion in Bishop Arts, and Parterre, which he opened in downtown in November 2021.
Triumphs comes with a twist: It's a combination coffee shop and whiskey bar, open early for coffee service, then functioning as a whiskey bar at night. The coffee shop opened quietly in December, and the whiskey bar is slated to open in February.
Their coffee is sourced from local roaster Noble Coyote Roasters, as is the case for his other shops, and they also have a guest program where they showcase a local roaster.
Most of their coffee is single origin, and their syrups are made in-house from scratch. There is no extra charge for choice of syrup; current favorites are "pumpkin bullshit," "gingerbread latte," and "bourbon pecan."
They serve food from local artisanal vendors including pastries from La Casita Bakeshop and bagels from Starship Bagel. In the coming weeks, they'll add breakfast sandwiches and salads prepared on-site.
Once the whiskey bar is open, they'll introduce an evening menu to pair with whiskeys, scotch, and bourbons, which they hope will serve as a destination for spirits lovers who want to try new things. It'll also incorporate a cigar bar.
The interior includes cozy leather couches.Triumphs Coffee
Mettendorf has a knack for settling in emerging neighborhoods, and the Design District is no exception. Triumphs is in a recently re-built complex that includes the headquarters of Alto and is slowly filling up with other corporate offices.
It's an old space and they've highlighted original features such as a loading dock, original steel work, and ceiling with a skylight. The space feels industrial but warm, with cozy leather couches and an inviting brown banquette that runs along the wall.
They also have a 1966 Benelli motorcycle displayed between the seating area and the whiskey bar, acquired from its first and only owner. They plan to work on the bike at the shop, adding to the 1950's rock-n-roll kind of feel of the whole space.
"We create each shop to be reflective and reverent to the neighborhood," Mettendorf says. "This is the reason why they all operate independently and under different brands."
"I spend all my days running around the four shops, and it's a wonderful life because it's all the places where I want to be at," he says.

Pound Sterling has taken a fresh leg lower in the wake of comments from Bank of England Governor Mark Carney.
Speaking on BBC 4, Carney says the chances of a 'no deal' Brexit are "uncomfortably high".
"GBP is trading lower on Carney 'no deal' Brexit scenario it appears," says Neil Jones with Mizuho Bank Ltd. "A hard Brexit is not the BoE's base-case scenario as I understand it, however the 'uncomfortably high' comment in reference to a 'no deal' is pushing GBP lower this morning, no question."
The Pound-to-Euro exchange rate promptly dipped on the comments, with the market registering a fresh daily low at 1.1221. The Pound-to-Dollar exchange rate has hit a low at 1.2982 confirming fresh 2018 lows are on the cards in the near-term.
The Pound has endured a tough 24 hours having fallen in the wake of the Bank of England's August policy meeting that saw interest rates rise to 0.75%; a move that would typically support a currency.
However, Sterling's failure to find a bid on the move confirms that there is only one ticket in town when it comes to the Pound - and that is Brexit.
Listening to BOE Governor Mark Carney is like listening to a Churchill wartime speech - He's right to be prudent, but he is phenomenally bearish and BBC'S John Humphrys is lapping it up. I respectfully suggest that Armageddon is not nigh!
The Governor also refuses to say the 21 month transition period will be long enough to adjust the economy for Brexit, "we'll take the two years. We'll make it enough".
The next few months will prove to be laden with risk for Sterling as the EU and UK try to come to a deal that must be agreed on at the October EU Summit.
Failure to reach a deal here will signal to markets that a no deal is in the offing and the Pound will likely finally fall to its 'no deal' resting place.
"Brexit risk remains the dominant driver of pound performance," says Lee Hardman with MUFG. "The hawkish policy signals are not sufficient to overwhelm the dampening impact on the pound from heightened Brexit uncertainty. It will remain the dominant driver of Pound performance heading into year-end as talks enter a more critical phase."
MUFG believe the Pound is moving closer to a pivot point, with the Pound likely to rebound if a "No Deal" outcome is avoided.

1053 — Profound Rates of Drug-Drug Interactions among Older Veterans Newly Treated for Epilepsy
Pugh MJ (REAP San Antonio) , Zeber JE (REAP San Antonio), Mortensen E (REAP San Antonio), Cramer (Yale University), Berlowitz DR (CHQOER)
Phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine, the most widely prescribed antiepileptic drugs (AED) in the VA, are considered suboptimal drugs for older patients with epilepsy due to adverse side effects and the potential for clinically significant drug-drug interactions. We examined the extent to which older veterans newly diagnosed with epilepsy were prescribed an AED yielding clinically significant drug-drug interactions (DDI) with current medications.
National VA and Medicare databases identified veterans 66 years and older who had a new diagnosis of epilepsy between FY00-FY04 and who also received a new AED from VA. VA pharmacy databases identified the date of the initial AED regimen, overlapping concomitant medications. VA and Medicare administrative data identified the setting of diagnosis (neurology, primary care, hospital, emergency department, other medical specialist [e.g. cardiology]). DDI were identified using a published list of clinically significant AED interactions. Logistic regression analysis, with station as a random effect, identified factors associated with DDI including demographic characteristics, chronic disease states, and diagnostic setting.
Of 9682 new-onset epilepsy patients, 60% had at least one DDI exposure. Rates of DDI were 0% for levetiracetam, gabapentin, and topiramate, phenobarbital 67%, carbamazepine 68%, and phenytoin 77%. Antihypertensive and statin drugs were most commonly implicated; accordingly, patients with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were significantly more likely to experience DDI. After controlling for patient characteristics, those diagnosed in emergency or hospital settings (both OR=1.6, 95% CI=1.4-1.9), or from other medical specialists (OR=1.7, 95% CI 1.4-2.0) were more likely to experience DDI than were patients diagnosed in neurology.
Rates of DDI are particularly high for patients prescribed older, less expensive AEDs. Patients diagnosed in neurology clinics were more likely to receive newer AEDs which rarely have DDI.
The DDI included in this analysis may have serious repercussions. Effects of commonly used antihypertensive and statin drugs are seriously diminished, leaving patients at increased risk for subsequent stroke or myocardial infarction. As 67% of patients received phenytoin alone, the impact of these DDI may be profound. Economic analyses are needed to determine if the costs of using phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine may result in hidden costs to the patient and the health care system.

In the deep sea of my own desire.
In the fortitude of peace my soul longs to retire.
Hope is the song my voice wants to acquire.
Inhaling the laziness of my acts as I respire.
To the progression around me.
The doubtful thoughts of my mind roam free.
Let my thoughts just be.
Can I really do what I say I can?
What happened to actions? What happened to plans?
Hope my dreams does not have a life span?
I did what I could – I ran!
Slowly but surely and I certainly will win.
The bubble of negativity is starting to fizz.
Discarding my thoughts of failure into the mind's bin.

There are number of Banff Lake Louise travel options for you to choose to get around Banff National Park.
Before you choose the Banff and Lake Louise Travel options, you might want to know about Banff National Park, such as how big the area to travel, what the road conditions is like, what you can see and do, etc.
If you drive, this is by far the best Banff travel option for getting around the Park.
There are plenty of hiking trailheads which can be difficult to access without a vehicle. Public transportation is very limit to those trailheads.
Besides, you also can enjoy the spectacular scenery and spot wildlife on your own schedule.
Here is an example, which give you idea about taxi.
Taxis range from about $27.00 traveling between Banff and Canmore (22 km), about $80.00 traveling between Banff and Lake Louise (52 km).
There is over 20,000 square kilometers to explore in the Canadian Rockies including surrounding parks. If you want to get most of it, how much will cost you by Taxi?!
Car rental rates start around $55.00/day for a compact car.
Of course, the better Banff Lake Louise travel option is to drive yourself instead of take a taxi.
Click here for detailed self driving tour.
Car rentals are available in Calgary, Banff and Lake Louise.
There are number of shuttle buses have daily services.
Greyhound and Brewster have daily services between Banff and Lake Louise.
Sundog Mountain Connector has daily service Banff–Lake Louise-Jasper. Reservation is required.
Please click here for details of the three shuttle services.
In winter, Ski Resort Shuttles pick up from most hotels in Banff and run throughout the day.
Some hotels offer a complimentary shuttle service for guests and during the ski season there is a shuttle running between many hotels and the three ski areas (Sunshine Village, Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise Resort).
If you are taking ski vacation here, you might not want to rent a car for whole vacation time. The shuttle bus is a good option to bring you to/from skiing resort. You might just need to rent a car in Banff or Lake Louise for one or two days while you are off skiing.
There is Banff Transit service only in the town of Banff.
The transit buses service daily between the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, town centre, Tunnel Mountain hotels (to the campground in summer) and along Banff Avenue.
The transit rate is $1.00 for adults and $ .50 for children.
During the summer (May 1 to September 30), it is difficult to find parking spot in the center of Banff. So it is a good idea for you leaving your vehicle at the RV parking at the north end of Banff Avenue and catching the bus into town.
If you do not drive yourself, the taxi is a good option for short distance. For example you want take a taxi from your hotel to specific trail head which no shuttle bus or public transit to access.
A number of taxi companies service the Banff area 24 hours a day. Taxis may be found at numerous taxi stands along main avenues or hailed on the street in downtown Banff.
When you call a cab, the usual wait time is 5 - 10 minutes. This does not apply at 3:00 AM in the morning after the bars close. During this time you are better to try to find an empty taxi near one of the bar entrances.
Taximeters start at $2.55 and increase by $ .15 with every 30 seconds.
If you do not drive, or no time to pre-arrange your trip, the best Banff Lake Louise Travel option to explore the Canadian Rockies is taking sightseeing or other activities tours.
There are number of tour companies such as Sundog Tours, Brewster, Explore Rockies, and Discover Banff Tours etc. offer various tour packages you can choose.
The sightseeing tours take you to the most exceptional locations for photos, wildlife viewing, and nature walks!
Biking around the Town of Banff is the most fun and effective way.
In the summer, while other people spend time to wait in long traffic bottlenecks and look for park spots, you'll be getting to where ever you want to go. There are many bike trails close to Banff.
Biking is the perfect way to slow down (or speed up), you have better chance to enjoy beautiful mountain scenery. You can easily to stop any time for taking pictures or watching the wildlife. It is not that easy to do this when you are driving.
There are lots bike trails crossing over the park and surroundings. If you want to bike across the whole park, it is possible, but keep in mind the mountainous terrain will make this quite a workout.
The best Banff Lake Louise travel way on bike is that you either rent a bike (come with bike map, helmet and lock) and choose the bike trails you like to explore by yourself, or join bike tours. The Ski Stop Shop offers various bike tours from Guided Soft Adventure tour to Self-Guided Hard Adventure tour.
There are many bike rental shops in Banff and Lake Louise. Town Bikes, Hard Tail Mountain Bikes, Full Suspension Mountain, Touring and Hybrid Tour Bikes all available.
It is easier and less workout to ride a moped than bike. You can rent a moped from Bactrax/Snowtips to explore the area around Banff National Park.
Many activities and attractions in Banff are within easy walking distance (within 20 minutes) from the centre of town.
If you are staying in the Town of Banff and not planning any trip outside of it, then you can walk, or take a short cab to further attractions outside downtown area.
If you want to see rest of park, or see surrounding parks such as Jasper, you need a vehicle to get around.
Now, You probably have an idea which Banff Lake Louise Travel option or combination is the best for YOU to get around the Park and surroundings.


The first of the two four-day match will take place in Colombo October 17-20 while Katunayake will host the second game from October 23 to 26.
The first three one-day matches will be held on October 30, November 1 and 3 respectively in Dambulla while the remaining two matches will be played on November 6 and 9 respectively at Katunayake.
Tawhid Hridoy (Captain), Tanzid Hasan, Sajid Hossan, Mohammad Prantik Nawrose, Amit Hasan, Shamim Hossain, Akbar Ali, Mahmudul Hasan, Rakibul Hasan, Minhazur Rahman,Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury , Asadullah Hill Galib and Shahin Alam.
Again, I don't expect much from these batsmen...will be looking at how the 3 Mohammads bowl. Exciting talents there.
There are at least 3 other "hidden" Mohammads.
Mohammad Rishad Hossain the leg spinner.
Mohammad Shoriful Islam the left arm seamer.
Mohammad Mrittunjoy Chowdhry, another seamer.
End of day 1: Bangladesh 209/3 in 58 overs.
They could collpase but need to get to 350 at least. Hope Shorif and Rishad can get the wickets.
BD U-19 took lead, thanks to two part time spinners Hridoy and Rakib.
BD 19 won by 13 runs. Well done.
How bad did the pitch deteriorate? Neither team could post 125 in the last day.
To me the MOM should go to Soriful Islam. Without his 1*(22) in the 1st innings we don't cross 290. That is the actual winning runs for the match. Then he gets 2 wickets in the 1st innings and the LAST WICKET when they were threatening again. 97/9 to 123/10.
Plays for city club. That is all that we know? 5 wicket haul is always good. Is he a spinner or a fast bowler?
Good going by the U19 team but it looks like Shoriful isn't playing.
Sahin Alam is a 17 years old pacer from BKSP.
He took 2/43 and 3/31 in the first game. Most likely he's some medium pacer.
Looks like Shoriful and Mrittunjoy are being rotated as 4 day cricket is tough for kids.
Wonder if Shoriful will play in the 3-day tour game vs Zimbabwe.
Mrittunjoy took four wickets in the first one-day but it was abandoned due to rain.
In the second match as well, our pacers dominated, this time it was Sahin with 4 wickets. We won by 8 runs in D/L method.
M'Joy, Shoriful, and Shahin really look like this could be the strongest U-19 pace class we've had. Could they be the bowling equivalent of Tamim, Shakib, and Mushfiq?
Damn, that's the dream, most definitely.
Doubt any of them is taking the spot of Mustafizur. Also, I think our new young domestic pacers are quite good with Qazi Onik and Robiul doing quite well for themselves too.


This chapter briefly explains the purpose and the scope of this document, its place in the OWLIM user documentation set, and provides some suggestions for efficient use. It starts with an introduction on the differences between the two editions of OWLIM, which facilitates the understanding of the OWLIM product family, the design objectives behind each of the versions and the rationale behind the structuring of the documentation.
OWLIM comes in three major editions: OWLIM-Lite, OWLIM-SE (standard edition) and OWLIM-Enterprise.
OWLIM-Lite and OWLIM-SE are identical in terms of usage and integration. Apart from a few differences in configuration parameters, these editions have the same functionality and implement the same Sesame APIs. However, they use different indexing, inference and query evaluation implementations, which results in different performance, memory requirements, and scalability.
efficient retraction of explicit statements and their inferences, which allows for efficient delete operations.
OWLIM-Enterprise is a component that can manage and synchronise multiple OWLIM instances in a resilient and scalable cluster configuration.

Abbott warns of coronary catheter problems in class 1 recall
by Amirah Al Idrus |
Abbott issued a field safety notice for a trio of coronary catheters because problems removing the balloon sheath could lead to injury or death.
Abbott has instructed hospitals and healthcare professionals to immediately stop using some of its coronary catheters because of problems removing the balloon sheath, which may cause injury or death.
In a notice published Friday, the FDA deemed the action a class 1 recall, the most serious type of recall.
The devicemaker issued a field safety notice (PDF) on March 22 surrounding the NC Trek RX and NC Traveler RX coronary dilalation catheters, and the NC Tenku RX PTCA balloon catheter. Between them, the devices are indicated for dilating a coronary artery after a stent is implanted, as well as improving or restoring blood flow in coronary arteries via balloon dilation.
The notice affects devices manufactured between Jan. 1, 2015, and Jan. 2, 2017, and could affect as many as 449,661 devices. It does not affect patients who have successfully undergone treatment with the devices, the company said.
Physicians may experience difficulty removing the balloon sheath from the identified devices. If "excessive force" is used, it can cause problems inflating or deflating the balloon, Abbott wrote in the notice. This could lead to air embolism, or the blockage or a blood vessel by an air bubble, blood clots, heart attack or the need for additional intervention.
Abbott told customers to "immediately stop using the devices," review their inventory and return all unused devices to the company. Abbott has also carried out corrective measures to make sure the devices work as intended, the company said. It is working with customers to replace the affected devices with a similar product.

Phoenix leaders are abuzz about 12 News' move into The Arizona Republic building at 200 E. Van Buren St. in the heart of the city.
They hope it will draw more foot traffic through the downtown area, and boost business at restaurants and sporting facilities.
To debut its new studio, 12 News is hosting a daylong street celebration today that includes a blood drive, celebrity appearances, a fundraiser and a concert.
With windows overlooking Van Buren Street, the ground-level studio resembles the "Today" show set in which passers-by and onlookers become part of the newscast. Activities tied to the 12 News party will take place on Second and Van Buren streets, and there will be live broadcasts throughout the day.
The studio also helps connect the rest of the country to the Valley.
"It is literally going to be a window to Phoenix and from Phoenix to the rest of the nation," Shultz said.
Today, 12 News hosts "Downtown Goes Live with 12 News" from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., with visits from celebrities and charitable efforts throughout the day.
Before the move, 12 News had been based at a studio near Central Avenue and Roosevelt Street. That building is for sale.
"The move itself is less than a mile, but it goes a long way toward combining the power of two key media outlets in our community," Todd Sanders, CEO and president of the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement.
"Both Channel 12 and The Republic have been Chamber members since the 1940s and we're thrilled to have them both here, not only as neighbors, but also as contributors to the growth of the core of downtown Phoenix," he said.
John Zidich, publisher of The Republic, said the new studio would make the downtown core more vibrant.
Leo Percopo, general manager of the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel, said he expected the 12 News studio would attract more foot traffic to the area, and to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks.
Percopo said officials at the city-owned hotel are looking into adding another entrance.
"It would really be almost adjacent to the Channel 12 window, so that you'd be able to access the District (restaurant and bar) from Van Buren Street," Percopo said.

Where Does The Term Birdie Come From?
by Mike Fay | Backspin
We all love making birdies. Who doesn't right? But did you know the origin of the term? Well, in golf history standards the term birdie isn't that old at all.
Atlantic City Country Club in 1903 and the story goes something like this. Brothers Ab and William P. Smith where playing a round of golf with George A Crump, who later went on to build Pine Valley. They where playing the par 4 2nd hole at the country club. Ab Smith's second shot went within inches of the hole and he proclaimed, "That was a bird of a shot." He proclaimed that with a score of one under par he should be paid double for such a feat. It was agreed upon and from that day forward we call that a "birdie".

This page aims to help you remove ExileRAT Malware. Our removal instructions work for every version of Windows.
ExileRAT is the name of a malicious cyber threat that may have the ability to steal financial information as well as the user's personal data and also to perform various malicious activities on the infiltrated computer. If you have a suspicion that this particular threat might have infected your machine, you should know that this is a Trojan Horse representative and that it is very sneaky and difficult to detect and you may need additional help to effectively remove it. As most Trojan-based infections, ExileRAT may mimic legitimate processes and files and may easily hide deep inside the OS without triggering any visible symptoms. For this reason, we advise our readers to check their system by scanning it with trusted security software to make sure they are not infected with a Trojan horse that has adopted the name and the appearance of some legitimate system process. If not removed on time, such an infection may be able to keep track of your Internet activity, corrupt your data, mess with the settings of your OS, steal your financial data and much more.
Providing unauthorized access to the infected system to hackers and allowing them to install malicious software such as Ransomware, Spyware or Rootkits in your computer.
As you can see, it is really important to detect ExileRAT and remove it on time, otherwise it is highly possible that your personal data and other sensitive information may land in the hands of people with malicious intentions. As a result, you may face huge financial losses and even identity theft.
Detecting a Trojan like ExileRAT manually can be a very challenging task because this type of malware usually has no particular symptoms which can give it away. This is the main reason we advise our readers to use a professional scanner over the manual detection method. Still, some of the possible indications which you should look out for if you have any suspicion that such malware has infected your system may include sluggishness of the machine, frequent system errors and crashes, strange or unusual activities which take place without actual interaction from your side, higher than usual CPU/RAM usage and other similar irregularities. To avoid these problems, do not lose time and perform a full system scan with trusted antivirus software (such as the one on this page) to check for malware. If the scanner detects ExileRAT inside your PC, do not panic and take immediate actions to remove the infection. If you don't know where to start, we suggest you follow the instructions in the removal guide above or directly use the automatic removal method in order to protect your machine from the unpredictable consequences of the Trojan's attack.
Symptoms Frequent errors, system sluggishness and crashes may be some of the potential symptoms.
Distribution Method Trojans spread with the help of spam emails, infected links, fake and misleading ads, pirated content, illegal websites, torrents, malious attachments.

No one here is supporting lockdowns as a primary means of control, but as a last resort, limited in time and space, in order to give the government health services a chance to recover and regroup.
As you have shown us above, in Wales:
- First Minister Mark Drakeford said the "time-limited 'firebreak'" will be "a short, sharp, shock to turn back the clock, slow down the virus and buy us more time".
- First minister announces lockdown from 23 October (to 9 November) to give NHS breathing space before winter
Meanwhile, in the US, here is the latest data on excess deaths between January and October with the highest peaks in deaths occurring in April and August:
300,000 excess deaths (all causes) = 200,000 linked to COVID and 100,000 not directly linked to COVID
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e2.htm?s_cid=mm6942e2_w#F1_down
ScaredPunksss
pro-lockdown people are sick in the head.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-21/health-review-launched-into-four-babies-deaths-in-adelaide/12796640
the cause of this cluster? a travel restriction put into place because of Covid-19.
Average age of death by covid in Australia 86.5.
Average life expectancy, 82.5. I won't bother with math on loss of life years.
person above me is linking a website that says the highest increase in excess deaths was from 25-44 -year-olds. What is causing all of them to die? deaths of despair caused by the lockdowns? this is what gets linked to support the lockdowns. LOL!
COVID may be less deadly than initially thought, because it is more contagious.
Here's a recent study finding a significant amount (45.5%) of asymptomatic infections in a nursing home:

Most are supporting social distancing and mask wearing when you cannot social distance.
Your article says that "a lack of services" in Adelaide was the cause of the deaths.
Supporters of lockdowns like the comfortable in his home with plenty of resources RoyBoy support this:
Award-winning investigative journalist David Rose wrote a sensational front page story for the Mail yesterday, documenting the scale of the collateral damage to public health caused by the lockdown and the continuing restrictions. Bringing together more than 130 studies, as well as testimony from readers who have contacted him via Lockdown Sceptics, the article documented the impact of this disastrous policy on every sphere of health, including cancer, heart disease, addiction, the welfare of children, domestic violence and mental illness.
Among the revelations are:
Delays in treatment are set to cause a 20% rise in deaths among newly diagnosed cancer patients in England – 6,270 excess deaths this year
Treatment for strokes fell by 45% during lockdown and there were more than 2,000 excess deaths in from heart disease
More than 50,000 operations for children were cancelled
Organ transplants fell by two thirds, with the number of those who died on the transplant waiting list almost doubling
Total waiting lists for routine orthopaedic and eye operations are at record levels
Calls to child abuse helplines rocketed
As rates of depression and anxiety doubled, thousands of recovering alcoholics have relapsed
David lined up an impressive array of experts to comment on these horrendous figures.
Professor Karol Sikora, a cancer specialist and head of Buckingham Medical School, said the findings of the Mail's audit were a "stunning demonstration of lockdowns' harmful effects across society".
He added: "If lockdown were a drug, you'd need to consider the side effects, and yet we're not – even though we seem to be diving headlong into another one.
"People sometimes claim it's a question of health versus the economy, but it's not – it's health versus health." Professor Sikora supports last week's Great Barrington Declaration, now signed by more than 10,700 scientists and 29,700 doctors worldwide, calling on governments to adopt an approach of 'focused protection', shielding the vulnerable while opening up the economy.
Sunetra Gupta, one of the Declaration's authors and an Oxford University epidemiologist, said: "These papers and data are starting to build the evidence to show that the collateral damage has been immense – and will continue with extreme measures such as lockdowns. The time has surely come to take their full costs measures into account."
Lockdown Sceptics, run by Tony Young, the well known eugenicist who supports screening embryos for IQ (but only for poor people, obviously)
Wonder why he downplays a virus which is likely to effect the elderly, disabled and low-income the most.... ummmm...
Avoids article contents- classic logical fallacy.
Be sure to avoid the content of the following and attack the messenger- that you do so illustrates you are a sociopath- what are impacting the elderly and low-income are the policies of lockdown:
Effect of lockdowns
We must open up because we're killing people. In the US, 46% of the six most common cancers were not diagnosed during the shutdown… These are people who will present to the hospital or their doctor with later stage disease – many of these people will die. 650,000 Americans are on chemotherapy – half of them didn't come in for their chemo because they were afraid. Two-thirds of screenings for cancer were not done; half of childhood immunisations did not get done; 85% of living organ transplants did not get done. And then we see the other harms: 200,000 cases plus of child abuse in the US during the two months of spring school closures were not reported because schools are the number one agency where abuse is noticed; we have one out of four American young adults, college age, who thought of killing themselves in the month of June…
All of these harms are massive for the working class and the lower socioeconomic groups. The people who are upper class, who can work from home, the people who can sip their latte and complain that their children are underfoot or that they have to come up with extra money to hire a tutor privately – these are people who are not impacted by the lockdowns.
This is the topic, this is why you open up. A secondary gain might be population immunity, but this is the reason to open up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1933&v=vpn3JxXqnp4&feature=emb_logo
It's relevant to scrutinize sources. It's rule one of journalism.
I'm not suggesting lockdowns are cost-free and we definitely need to support those most affected. In fact lockdowns aren't really the focus, I'm much more concerned why the world's biggest economies can't adequately organize testing so we can track the spread. That would make lockdowns redundant.
You're very quick to talk about 'agendas' when it comes to Democrats or media or whoever. This guy has an agenda. He's said if he were to die of COVID, combating it is still not justified because the GDP loss from lockdown is greater than the GDP contribution he and those who die have made.
What is the content then?
These aren't effects of the lockdown. The root cause here is a pandemic, which unavoidably has direct and indirect consequences. With no restrictions, and business as usual, it will be like New York was in April, for all of America. Many of these cancer patients, transplant patients, and doctors, will still die. We must pick our poison.
As far as I know, hospitals aren't locked down, being considered "essential".
They might be at over-capacity because of an out of control pandemic. The best way to avoid that is to get the spread of a very contagious and lethal virus under control.
Everyone wants kids to go to back to school. The best way to achieve that is to get the spread of a very contagious and lethal virus under control.
What is sorely lacking in the USA is national leadership and coordination. Besides a partial travel ban on China in January, what has been done?
That way you can be sure you're mindlessly passing on a false narrative.
Oh yeah, don't trust journalists. Much better to believe what The Party tells you.
Those are both the same thing.
Why would you trust any of them, especially this year?
Think logically.
Make up your own mind about what makes sense and what doesn't.
It's not about trust, it's about passing a discerning eye over everything you see. It's clear you have no idea what to think and have rejected everything.
It's very easy from the sources you cite to see which corners of the internet you've been to and very easy to see why the people you listen to are spreading the narrative they do. Toby Young, @Allen53's source believes in eugenics and hyper-utilitarianism. He's only ever going to post anti-lockdown messages because unless the virus is going to effect the economy by killing enough productive members, we should all do our patrio-economic duty and ignore it.
It's about recognizing the position your sources speak from. Nobody expects (or wants) balanced opinion but just honesty of opinion.

Police urge people to be aware of phone scammers as offenders remain at large
The wanted men. Photo credit: NZ Police / Supplied
Detective Sergeant Kevin Blackman joins Magic Talk Drive to discuss Police Operation Deadwood launched earlier this year after reports of people being targeted by the scammers.
More than a dozen people have been arrested in relation to the "sophisticated" phone scam which has seen New Zealanders lose millions of dollars.
Blackman tells host Ryan Bridge, "we still believe that the scam is managed from overseas."
But New Zealand based offenders, called mules, are being used to launder money.
The detective Sergeant explains there are, "a number of different ways" people may be compromised by the scams.
Operation deadwood was launched a few months ago in response to the high reporting of this particular phone scam.
"At this stage 13 are arrested, there are a lot more out there that are involved."
Police are now seeking the public's assistance to help locate three more men who have warrants to arrest for money laundering. They are Manish Khan, 24, Tushar Prabhakar 21, and Hitesh Sharma, 22.
"These three men are believed to be in the Auckland area and have links in particular to south and east Auckland," Det Sgt Blackman says.
"They are also known to frequent the Auckland Airport area and Auckland central, including SkyCity."
When asked if the scam is still operating the Detective responds, "unfortunately it is, and I don't think it's going to stop."
They will continue to try and rip people off.
It has been recorded that 2.5 million dollars has been lost to these scams but that figure comprises only those that have reported it to the police so there is likely much more money that has been lost to these scams.
This is predominantly a landline based scam.
The Sergeant reminds listeners that if you do receive a phone call be aware that no legitimate business or police official will ever call your to ask you to transfer money.

Before the end of 2018, Disney will flip the switch on a sprawling 50-megawatt solar power facility composed of more than a half-million solar panels, just outside Disney's Animal Kingdom. The move is aimed, in part, at helping Disney achieve its larger plan to reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent worldwide by 2020, compared to 2012.
"At our sites around the world, we're investing in hidden magic to continually reduce our environmental footprint," Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products, said.
The soon-to-open Disney World solar facility, spread along a 270-acre designated renewable energy area, will produce enough energy to supply 10,000 homes annually and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 57,000 tons per year, according to Disney's estimates. That is the annual equivalent of removing roughly 9,300 automobiles from the roads, the company says.
The energy will not actually go to Disney's theme parks, but rather into the local power grid. Nonetheless, with one eye on its global reputation and another on its customers' increasing focus on sustainability, Disney is emerging as a renewable energy force.
Disney's move toward cleaner energy comes when brand image for global giants goes far beyond, say, merely a ride on Space Mountain — particularly among free-spending but environmentally sensitive millennials. Indeed, some 79 percent of consumers say they seek out products that are socially or environmentally responsible, according to a 2017 study by Cone Communications.
"Our guests tell us the environment is important, so it's a big deal for us," said Mark Penning, vice president of Disney's Animals, Science and Environment. Since it's a big deal to guests, it is also a huge deal to Bob Iger, chief executive of Disney, who has repeatedly said that he wants Disney to be the most admired company in the world, "Not just for creating incredible content, but for being a responsible citizen of the world," says Dr. Penning, who is a veterinarian.
While some renewable energy advocates would like Disney to do even more to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, Disney's leadership in this area is likely to encourage others. "What Disney is doing is an important part of the trend that's changing the nation's grid," says Gregory Wetstone, chief executive of the American Council on Renewable Energy.
Just five years ago, very few companies were actively producing their own renewable powers, Mr. Wetstone said. But now, he said, "the most sophisticated companies are learning how to go out on their own and do it." Of course, none can accomplish this without enlisting energy partners. Disney's new facility in central Florida, for example, is a collaboration with the Reedy Creek Improvement District and solar project developer Origis Energy USA.
