There is no shuttle service at all. The isle is on the outskirts of Waterloo. From there to cedar rapids is a very easy drive. My guess is about 40 to 45 minutes.

South Island Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Tours

Tours of Lord of the Rings & Hobbit Film Locations in the South Island

Filming at Flock Hill
Image Courtesy of New Zealand Tourism/Ian Brodie

The South Island was the ideal place for many of the scenes of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. Filming of all three movies took place between October 1999 and December 2000. They were released in 2001 (The Fellowship of the Ring), 2002 (The Two Towers) and 2003 (The Return of the Ring). It was one of the largest film projects ever undertaken.

The Hobbit, the first in a new trilogy on the same theme, was released in December 2012.

The best way to appreciate the beauty of the locations where the filming took place is on a guided tour. Here are some of the best in the South Island.

    LOTR Scenes: Edoras, Meduseld, Plains of Rohan

    Details: Situated about 2.5 hours' drive from Christchurch, the sets constructed here were some of the most elaborate of the entire project. The setting makes the most of two of the South Island's most contrasting features, the vast and flat Canterbury Plains and the majestic mountains of the Southern Alps.

    LOTR Scenes: The Dead Marshes, Fangorn Forest, Nen Hithoel, River Anduin, Silverlode River and others.

    Details: This was another rich area for Lord of the Rings scenes. The ancient beech forests of the Fiordland National Park near Milford Sound was the perfect setting for Fangorn Forest. Lake Te Anau is one of the South Island's largest lakes and provided scenes for Nen Hithoel, Silverlode River, and Fangorn Forest. Due to the remoteness of the region, the only way to see Lord of the Rings locations here is by helicopter.

    Recommended Tours:

    • Helicopter Flight from Queenstown: This is a 1.5-hour flight departing from Queenstown and landing in Milford Sound.

Privately-sponsored Syrian refugees more likely to find work: Document

Syrian refugees sponsored by private groups such as churches and charities are five times more likely than those sponsored by the Trudeau government to have found work in Canada, the Toronto Sun has learned. According to a January 2017 ministerial briefing document from the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), all Syrian refugees face “barriers to employment” — but the outcomes for different programs is stark. (Toronto Sun)

Vancouver Island activists call out federal government over Canada’s refugee backlog

A Vancouver Island group is among many across the country upset because the Syrian families they’ve raised thousands of dollars to sponsor and bring to Canada are still stuck overseas. Last year, more than 40,000 Syrian refugees were welcomed to the country as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau encouraged Canadians to sponsor. Victoria residents Kristina Stevens and Christine Johnston are among the thousands across the country who responded to that call. (Global)

Liberals' citizenship bill to proceed with some Senate amendments

The Liberal government is prepared to adopt some of the Senate's proposed amendments to its citizenship bill, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said Friday.

Asylum seeker walked into Canada across farmer's field after entry denied at official crossing

A Liberian woman who walked into Canada through a farmer's field says she only took that route after being denied entry at a border crossing.

‘It is a battle for hearts and minds’: Trudeau’s $35 million gamble to counter radicalization

That uncertainty now looms over the Canadian government as it prepares to unveil a new office aimed at thwarting radicalized violence, whether perpetuated by radical Islamists or far-right extremists. After a lengthy delay, the Liberals are expected to launch the new office — currently called the Office of the Community Engagement and Counter-Radicalization Coordinator — in the near future, pledging $35 million over five years to support intervention efforts, counter-narrative campaigns and research.

B.C. man's Facebook page supported terror attacks in West, trial hears

A British Columbia man allegedly used his Facebook account to express support of "lone wolves" who committed violent terror attacks in the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, his trial heard on Friday.

ISIS propaganda machine is hit hard by deaths of key leaders and setbacks on the battlefields

The ISIS propaganda machine has been dealt a significant blow with the deaths of senior members involved in creating its slick videos. Western airstrikes have killed senior members of the ISIS propaganda machine, significantly reducing the number of videos published by the organisation.  Also, the production quality of the terror group's videos have been affected as the organisation is defeated on the battlefield.

Will the new defence policy survive a recession? ‘We can’t talk about hypothetical situations,’ says Sajjan

Asked if his government’s “fully costed” new defence policy would survive another major recession, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said he’s not willing to comment on hypotheticals. “We can’t talk about hypothetical situations but one thing that we can do as a government is commit to the Canadian Armed Forces,” said Sajjan in an interview with The West Block‘s Vassy Kapelos.

Ottawa’s foreign policy pivot began before Liberals took office, documents show

When Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland outlined the Liberal government’s new vision for foreign policy, it was received both as a shift in Ottawa’s approach to international relations and as a direct response to the political climate in the United States. Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Freeland reaffirmed the Canadian government’s commitment to multilateral institutions and to free trade and delivered the Liberals’ most direct words on U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to date. (Toronto Star)

Program helps foreign-trained engineers find jobs in Calgary

The Calgary Catholic Immigration Society has graduated a new crop of engineers. The 15 immigrants have qualifications from their home countries, but couldn't find a job in Calgary because they lacked Canadian experience. One of the new graduates of the upgrading program is Bahar Soleimani, who was an industrial engineer in Iran, but sold furniture after she came to Canada in 2014. (CBC)

Body of Canadian killed fighting Daesh in Syria returned home, mother says

The mother of a Canadian killed while fighting Daesh, also known as ISIS or ISIL, militants in Syria said her heart was heavy as she put her hands on a casket containing the body of her son. Tina Martino of Niagara Falls, Ont., says she has not yet been able to see the remains of her 24-year-old son, Nazzareno Tassone, because his casket was sealed when it arrived in Canada late Saturday night months after his death.

Another decade, another Trudeau, another stab at sovereignty in Alberta

On a sunny Sunday in Calgary, Alberta's separatists are on the move, pounding the pavement at the city's popular Lilac Festival on the hunt for signatures.

Liberals look at ways to change youth employment programs, labour minister says

Labour Minister Patty Hajdu says she is taking a sweeping look at the country's youth employment strategy to better target help to those who need it most. The review comes in the wake of a report from an expert panel the government struck last year that came up with 13 recommendations to help young Canadians get into and thrive in a changing labour market. (National Observer)

Liberals face tough questions on Afghanistan and interim fighter jets

Although the Trudeau government launched its long term plan for modernizing the military last week, more immediate realities are tugging for attention on the Liberals’ list of defence priorities. The government continues to grapple with two critical, short-term questions: what to do about “interim” fighter jets, and whether to take on a new role in Afghanistan? (National Post)

Trudeau could shuffle cabinet this summer, prorogue Parliament in fall, say insiders

With the summer break coming almost halfway through the Liberal government’s four-year mandate, speculation of a summer cabinet shuffle is swirling, along with the possibility of a fall prorogation, and sources say it could be a chance to hit the reset button and prep the front bench for the next election in 2019 (Hill Times)

Syrian refugees reunited with ‘grumpy cat’ they were forced to leave behind

They say cats have nine lives, but an agonizing choice for two pet owners threatened to jinx their one chance at a new life in Canada. Instead, a pair of Syrian refugees who had already faced four years of hardship had a uniquely heartwarming airport reunion on Sunday with the pet they’d reluctantly left behind. “It has been so stressful. He really is like a son to us,” said Nour Kaadan as she awaited the arrival of her cat at Pearson airport’s Terminal 1. (Toronto Star)

Canadians Latvia-bound to lead NATO battle group

Hundreds of Canadian troops will start arriving in Latvia on Saturday to lead a multinational battle group as part of its commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Merkel Says Immigration Better Solved by Opportunity, Not Walls

German Chancellor Angela Merkel took a shot at President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall, telling an audience in Mexico that a physical barrier won’t resolve any country’s immigration issues. “We must fight against the causes that lead people to abandon their homes,” Merkel said at a Saturday business event at Mexico City’s Interactive Museum of Economics. “And constructing walls isn’t going to help.” (Bloomberg)

Immigration hardliner Jussi Halla-aho elected to lead Finland’s populist Finns Party

An immigration hardliner has been elected as leader of a euroskeptic group that sits in Finland’s three-party centre-right government. The Finns Party elected Jussi Halla-aho on Saturday as its chairman to replace Foreign Minister Timo Soini, who stepped down after two 10-year terms as chairman. A European Parliament member, the 46-year-old Halla-aho was convicted in 2012 for making racist statements. (National Post)

4 Syrians brothers face terrorism charges in Germany

German authorities say they’ve arrested four Syrian brothers on terrorism charges for allegedly fighting for an extremist group in their homeland five years ago. Mustafa K., 41, Abdullah K., 39, Sultan K., 44, and Ahmed K., 51, whose last names weren’t released according to privacy regulations, are accused of membership in a terrorist organization for fighting for the Nusra Front in the northern Syrian city Ras al-Ayn starting in late 2012.

Taking Action at This Critical Moment Against Iran's IRGC Is Crucial

Canada mulls putting Iran's Revolutionary Guards on its terror list The recent barbaric events in London, Paris, and Manchester highlighted the reality that the need for peace in the world is today greater than ever. Count the number of people killed in recent terrorist attacks, and plot the curve to get a clear and horrible picture of what has happened.

Candice Malcolm: Chrystia Freeland should blame Obama, not Trump

The Trudeau Liberals appear to be in denial about the world around them. Earlier this week, foreign affairs minister Chrystia Freeland delivered a lengthy speech about the many problems around the world, and Canada’s role in helping to fix some of them. (Toronto Sun)

Toronto Sun: Let’s tackle Canada’s terror funding problem

There’s one big “root cause” of terrorism that doesn’t get as much attention as it should in Canada. That’s money. As we embark on another round of conversations about tackling extremism and terrorism in the West – tragically spurred by a series of attacks on the occasion of Ramadan – we have to look at all the options on the table. (Toronto Sun)

Robert Fulford: If we’re to fight terrorism effectively we need to stop saying ‘Islamophobia’

In response to successive terror attacks on Britain, Prime Minister Theresa May said that things could not continue as they were. By “things” she meant the systems set up by democracies, particularly Britain, to prevent atrocities like those experienced recently in Manchester and at London Bridge. The systems of defence have proven inadequate. (National Post)

Lorne Gunter: Liberals playing partisan games with our immigration system

The federal Liberals are making a complete hash of Canada’s immigration system because they take neither our citizenship nor our national security seriously. Take for instance what is being called an “appalling” shortage of immigration appeal judges – adjudicators who hear the cases of immigrants whose applications to stay in Canada have been rejected. Some have criminal records, committed fraud on their application forms or are suspected of terrorist links. (Toronto Sun)

Ezra Levant: One of Trudeau’s Syrian refugees who beat his wife, didn't know it was against the law

Trudeau’s open-borders, mini-Merkel approach to Muslim migration gives him a special place in left-wing dreaminess and makes him the toast of the globalist, leftist jet-set. His announcement that he’d bring in 25,000 then 30,000 Muslim migrants from Syria in a single month was shocking, dangerous and logistically impossible. (Rebel)

Faith Goldy: Conservatives must campaign on free speech to win

Andrew Scheer, the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, put the defense of freedom of speech at the forefront of his campaign. If he wants to beat Justin Trudeau in 2019, he must place freedom of speech at the centerpiece of the Conservative platform. (Rebel)

Aaron Wherry: Why Canada will pay to help places like the Solomon Islands fight climate change

The recent U.S. commitment to international climate financing has been approximately $2.7 billion US per year. To the Green Climate Fund specifically, Barack Obama's administration had promised $3 billion. (Trump was conflating a general commitment by developed nations to raise $100 billion US and the Green Climate Fund, which is a specific initiative within that commitment.) (CBC)

Christine Sismondo: Canada’s break with America on foreign policy isn’t so novel

They called it the “Trudeau Doctrine.” “They” being the pundits, that is, not Minister Chrystia Freeland or her team, as she laid out Canada’s new direction for foreign policy in her address to the House earlier this week. One writer said that it was the first time in Canadian history that our foreign policy was “essentially opposed” to American foreign policy. (Macleans)

Joe Warmington: Canada sending aid to starving East Africans

It’s been a tough time for east Africa. And not only does Canada care but we are also there to help. In fact, Immigration Minister Ahmed D. Hussen himself was on hand to support a special announcement Saturday by the International Development Relief Foundation, GlobalMedic and the Canadian Somali Congress. (Toronto Sun)

Monique Scotti: Is Canada’s reputation as a safe haven for refugees deserved?

In late 2015, the newly-elected Liberal government announced an ambitious plan to get 25,000 Syrian refugees onto Canadian soil in the span of just a few months. Some — the most vulnerable and least educated — would be government sponsored, while others would rely on individuals or groups of Canadians to help get them here and assist them as they adjusted to life in Canada.

Andray Domise: Fit in, or be excluded: The root of immigrants’ impulse to assimilate

In the fall of 2015, Toronto radio station G98.7 hosted a call-in discussion against the backdrop of the newly minted Trudeau government sorting through its campaign promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada. The host and station manager, Fitzroy Gordon, facilitated the discussion by letting callers leave a message for Prime Minister Trudeau with their feelings on accepting so many applicants at once.

Jacinta Carroll: Terrorists are using encryption. Our laws need to keep up with the technology

Simeon was a faithful man who trusted that God would be faithful to all of His promises. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple, then, Simeon recognized and embraced Him not only as the source of his own peace, but also as the Messiah who would be the glory of Israel and the light of the world. In this message from Luke 2:29–32, Alistair Begg encourages each of us to embrace the Lord Jesus as Simeon did, finding in Him the fulfillment of all that God has promised.

Crabapple Form-Based Code2018-08-07T07:15:49+00:00

Project Description

TSW Crabapple_Form_Based_Code_01 Crabapple Form-Based Code    TSW

City of Milton
Project Status:
Completed in 2013
Project Overview:
• Locally-calibrated SmartCode that facilitates Crabapple’s community vision
• Addresses both infill and new community conditions
• Uses transfer of development rights to preserve farmland
Download PDF Cutsheet

Milton, Georgia

Historic Crabapple lies 25 miles north of Atlanta in the north Fulton County city of Milton. Once an isolated farming community of houses, a general store, and civic buildings, Crabapple experienced development pressure in recent decades that threatened its character and sense-of-place. In response, several initiatives were undertaken in the 1990s to guide growth. Because Crabapple was part of unincorporated Fulton County at the time, these included County-initiated area plans and a zoning overlay aimed at protecting the local character. Both efforts successfully shaped growth for nearly two decades, albeit in a cumbersome way that subjected projects to an extensive, uncertain, and inflexible approval process. Following the incorporation of Milton in late 2006, attention again focused on the future of Crabapple, which many viewed the downtown for the new city. A charrette was undertaken to create a new vision for what the area could be, and lay a foundation for achieving it. A key charrette outcome was the need for a new type of zoning in the area that would codify the public’s vision, streamline the development process, and provide greater development flexibility, within reason.

For nearly a year TSW worked with Crabapple residents, businesses, property owners, and City boards to explore and prepare a locally-calibrated SmartCode that would codify the Crabapple vision. Because Crabapple was only partially developed, this included extensive modifications to the SmartCode to address both infill and new community conditions. The effort also included one of Georgia’s first uses of transfer of development rights to preserve farmland. In addition, it incorporated a regulating plan, customized Transect zones, architectural standards, a design review board, and coordination with a concurrent historic preservation effort.

Heads up, creatives — Casey Neistat has put out the call.

The YouTuber and filmmaker has teamed up with Adobe to seek a graphic designer, a photographer, and an editor to join him from Dec. 9 to 15 at the headquarters of his new venture, 368, to create the core visual components of the 368 brand. Those chosen will each be paid $5,000, and will have their travel expenses fully covered.

Submissions for the contest, called One Week at 368, are open through this Friday, Dec. 7. To enter, applicants should post their best work from their portfolios on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #Adobe368. Adobe and Neistat are firm that entrants should not create and apply with 368-branded content, and should only apply with existing work. In order to enter, creators must also be subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud YouTube channel, over 18 years old, and willing to be featured on camera.

Neistat launched 368 in August. It’s his first business venture since CNN shuttered Beme, the social video app he created and sold for a reported $25 million. 368 is partially a vlogging project, with Neistat uploading daily vlogs — though but the larger chunk involves the establishment of a collaborative workspace at 368 Broadway in New York City — which also happens to be Beme’s former headquarters. The workspace is meant to serve as a hub for fellow creators, including YouTubers, musicians, and podcasters.

You can see the full list of entry requirements for “One Week at 368” here.

Campaign aims to raise awareness about the particular challenges that winter can bring

Woman wading through flood water

On 7 November, the Government launched the ‘Be Winter-Ready’ 2018 -2019 Information Campaign, focusing this year on building strong communities and looking out for the vulnerable.

The campaign is intended to raise awareness about the particular challenges that winter can present. It highlights the ‘Whole of Government’ approach being taken to winter preparations.

This sort of approach was seen during recent storms Ophelia, Emma, and Ali, which posed challenges for communities, businesses, Government Departments and Agencies.

Importantly, the ‘Be Winter-Ready’ campaign informs the public of what is being done in relation to winter preparations and where they can find valuable information that can assist them through a difficult period.

See the Be Winter Ready website for more information

Five, No Ten, things you didn’t know about TwisterMc.

TwisterMc Logo ShadowJustin Shattuck sure wants to know a lot about me. First about what blogging has given me and now he’s asking for five things you don’t now about me. Since I’ve done this once before you’ll get a bonus five here that are a bit more interesting. 😉

1) I was once in a Musical. It was a small town gig and I was like 15. I got to dance with the the lady in the lead role and everything. I think it was ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’ but I’m not positive. I worked crew for many years on the play but only appeared in one once.

2) I’ve met Shania Twain. Yep, at a meet and greet at the Mall of America years ago. I have pictures and autographs to prove it. She’s a short little lady.

3) I almost when to a Spice Girls concert once. Yes, it’s true. They were at the Target Center in Minneapolis and my friend really wanted to go. So we walked down to see if there were any last minute tickets. There were, but I decided it was to much money and my need to go wasn’t that great. He went though and had a great time.

4) I’ve been kicked out of a bar for trying to steal beer. It was at a nightclub, I was drunk and it just kinda happened. They yelled at me and kicked me out and told me not to come back for six months. No big deal as they are closed now anyways.

5) I’ve been stopped by the police for trying to buy drugs. A friend and I were exploring Minneapolis on foot one day and were headed towards a Target in the distance. Little did we know we were entering a well known area for buying drugs. The cops nicely stopped us and asked a few questions. Since we weren’t buying drugs, they told us to turn around and walk home. We did.

Now, to pass the love, how about Tim at Hawk Wings, Steve Smith at Ordered List and Matthew Anderson.

Neurointerventional Surgery

The University of Chicago Medicine neurointerventional surgery team specializes in minimally invasive techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the brain, head and neck, spine and spinal cord. Neurointerventional surgical procedures are performed by interventional neuroradiologists — radiologists who have advanced training in image-guided, minimally invasive diagnostic and endovascular surgical techniques. Neurointerventional procedures take place on the medical campus in Hyde Park.

For patients, the benefits of neurointerventional surgery (also commonly known as interventional neuroradiology) include smaller incisions, less risk, faster recovery and less pain than traditional surgery. Our team provides neurointerventional surgical care for many conditions that previously were untreatable or required more invasive, open surgical techniques.

Our interventional neuroradiologists use state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging techniques, including high-resolution MR imaging, 3D vascular imaging, and diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiographies.

Diagnostic Cerebral & Spinal Angiography

Our team performs cerebral and spinal angiograms as needed for diagnostic purposes, pre-surgical planning and post-surgical follow-up. After injecting contrast dye into the blood vessels, our specialists use high-resolution imaging equipment to capture detailed 3D pictures of the arteries and veins. Diagnostic angiograms usually are performed under light sedation on an outpatient basis.

Non-Invasive Imaging Studies

Using state-of-the-art 3T MR imaging machines and 64-slice multidetector CT scanners, specialists at UChicago Medicine provide high-quality, non-invasive neurovascular imaging services. Our interventional neuroradiologists oversee and perform high-resolution 3D vascular imaging, including intracranial arterial wall imaging and physiologic imaging studies, such as cerebral perfusion imaging, vascular wall shear stress imaging and cerebrovascular permeability imaging.

At UChicago Medicine, our physicians continually seek new ways to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurovascular disorders. Our neurointerventional surgery experts are actively investigating acute stroke, advanced MR techniques and clinical outcomes.

The UChicago Medicine neurointerventional surgery team provides consultations for adults and children. Our team is comprised of specialists with extensive training and experience in neurointerventional surgical care, including advanced practice nurses, registered nurses and radiology technologists. The team is led by highly regarded UChicago Medicine physicians with proven expertise.

  • Seon-Kyu Lee, MD, PhD, is the director of neurointerventional surgery at UChicago Medicine. With extensive experience in all aspects of neurointerventional surgical procedures, he is a recognized expert in the field. In addition to providing the highest level of care for his patients, Dr. Lee participates in national and international clinical trials focused on improving strategies for stroke management.
  • Gregory A. Christoforidis, MD, is an interventional neuroradiologist and the section chief of neuroradiology at UChicago Medicine. He has expertise in all types of diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology procedures. Dr. Christoforidis is investigating the formation, maturation and roles of certain blood vessels in acute ischemic stroke brain tissues.
  • Carolina Zanevchic, RN, APN, specializes in neurointerventional surgical care. She facilitates comprehensive care for patients in neurointerventional surgery.
  • Renee Pucikmaisura, RN, has special training in neurointerventional surgical care, and serves as the lead registered nurse on the team.
  • Steward (Stew) Thomas, RT, MBA, serves as the lead neurointerventional radiology technologist and manager of the neurointerventional surgery team.

Having worked with the likes of Guy Sebastian, Katy Steele and Thief, Sydney producer Quinn is steadily making a name for himself, reaching #3 on the ARIA album charts domestically and already topping the Taiwanese singles chart abroad.

Think Diplo meets M-Phazes and you’ll get an idea of just what Quinn can do. Having a penchant for letting his work breathe, Quinn is certainly not your average pop EDM producer.

With slick, adventurous production, forward-thinking songwriting and a vocal sound all his own, its pop music that’s always on trend yet always ahead of the curve.

Saturday Video: Scuba Diving Frederiksted Pier, St. Croix

Frederiksted Pier, St Croix. Beautiful yet overfished. from For The Sea Productions on Vimeo.

A couple weeks ago, when we called on our good friend Warren Solomon to highlight a few beginner scuba diving tips for those wishing to pick up the sport in Tobago, we got an impassioned plea via Facebook from an old friend to give some props to the undersea wonders in the waters around our own home island of St. Croix.

Well, Deborah Huber, this Saturday Video post is for you!

The video above showcases a bit of the dive experience that awaits beneath the Frederiksted Pier located off St. Croix’s west coast. Spending afternoons here plunging from atop the pier to the deep-blue water below is a rite of passage for all kids lucky enough to grow up in the largest of the three primary U.S. Virgin Islands. It’s also a must for cooling off after trampin’ during Carnival. As you can see, though, the fun here extends well below the surface.

The video was produced by award winning underwater filmmaker Ziggy Livnat who works to promote marine conservation via visual experience. I’d say he also works to promote the type of undersea adventures I hope to start enjoying soon.

Have you dived the Frederiksted Pier site? If so, leave us a comment below to share your experience.
