Shoalhaven River, Nowra, Bridge Crossing Feasibility Study - 25/06/2003 - PRIV Growth and development pressure on the South Coast require that we plan for the long term and not wait for the crises that are inevitable when transport infrastructure facilities are not addressed by government. On his whirlwind visit to the South Coast, the Minister correctly identified that the feasibility study he promised would be the first stage of addressing the river crossings. I have great sympathy for the residents of the South Coast and, in particular, those who need to use the bridges crossing the Shoalhaven River. www.parliament.nsw.gov.au /prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20030625038   (596 words)

What's The Deal With San Antonio's RiverWalk? I have been told that it will be at least 10 years before the River Walk is 100% accessible, and in my opinion, that is too long to wait. The River Walk is over 21 blocks long, but there are only five ramps, and five elevators going to street level, and most are on one side of the river. The contract for the river barge tours was decided a few years ago by the City Council. wapd.org /chapters/texas/sa/river   (596 words)

Invasion of Russia When the Russian armies were seen, nearly one hundred and twenty thousand men, marching across the right bank of the Dnieper River, Napoleon hoped their intent was to deploy their forces beneath the city's walls to wage the battle so long awaited. It seemed prudent to consolidate his forces here behind the river lines of the Dvina and the Dnieper, to wait out the winter while he made ready for a new campaign in 1813. On 14 December Marshal Ney led the troops over the frontier at Kovno, crossing the Niemen River that the Grand Army had poured across in three long impressive columns six months before. www.fortunecity.com /victorian/riley/787/Napoleon/1812/russia.html   (3433 words)

Birdquest, Trip Report Following the river downstream produced quick views of Long-billed Gnatwren, White-flanked Antwren and some handsome Silver-beaked Tanagers while the river mouth itself held a remarkably tame wintering White-rumped Sandpiper. Heavy rain did little to dampen our spirits and after a rather long wait three heads appeared at the top of a fruiting tree. Red-legged Honeycreepers, Collared Trogons and Golden-olive Woodpeckers showed very well and eventually there it was, a superb male White-tailed Sabrewing which perched for just long enough for some of the group to see it. www.birdquest.co.uk /trip_reports_detail.cfm?ReportID=320   (3433 words)

MHS Transactions: "Destined to Raise Her Caste": Sarah Ballenden and the Foss-Pelly Scandal [5] Because of the warring factions, Red River became such an uncomfortable abode that one Chief Factor declared he could not wait to leave: The monotonous routine of life not only in Red River but in the fur trade at large, especially during the long winter months, may help to explain why the affairs of one's contemporaries were of such all-absorbing interest. That the social climate of Red River was such as to allow gossip to be used as an instrument of revenge is illustrated in a minor scandal which in view of the subsequent events of the Foss-Pelly scandal should be kept in mind. www.mhs.mb.ca /docs/transactions/3/sarahballenden.shtml   (6301 words)

Lone Sentry: 102d thru Germany: Elbe River surrenders (WWII Unit History, 102nd Infantry Division) They flocked to the river as the legendary dead once flocked to the ferry on the river Styx -- but unlike the legendary dead did not bother to wait for boats. Beginning April 25 as the Russian attack on Berlin gained its full momentum, there were scenes on the banks of the Elbe which hardly could have been equalled in the long and troubled annals of that river. The panzer general came down the river through the rabble at Tangermunde, where thousands were trying to walk over the girders of a wrecked railroad bridge. www.lonesentry.com /102thrugermany/pg63.html   (764 words)

Shorty Long - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links Shorty Long had to wait until 1968 before he had his first bona fide hit in the music business. Long and William Stevenson wrote "Devil" and it had all the ingredients of a hit but, for some reason, didn't chart. Sadly, just when Shorty's career was about to take off and his talent recognized, he died in a boating accident with friend Oscar Williams on June 29, 1969, on the Detroit River. www.artistdirect.com /nad/music/artist/bio/0,,460009,00.html   (764 words)

Memorial Resolution for William L. Rivers Rivers students from all eras recall most saliently the detailed comments he wrote on their drafts of news stories and academic papers. Rivers was the only professor chosen among the top few in two contrasting areas: print journalism, and mass communication theory.

Tallying the Taku - March/April 1998 - Sierra Magazine - Sierra Club At the least, wilderness activists say, the government should wait until treaty negotiations with the Taku River Tlingit are settled and a long-term land protection plan for this little-known region is put in place. River travel, for all its let-gravity-do-the-work pleasantness, can induce claustrophobia, so we were always eager to take breaks to scramble up the river canyon slopes to get a hint of where, exactly, we were. But the main reason we haven't seen many griz is that salmon, the bears' summer fare, are just starting to enter the higher tributaries along our route. www.sierraclub.org /sierra/199803/taku.asp   (1640 words)

Birdwatching Trip Report from Cape Verde Islands Back in Praia, we visited the river mouth and Egret roost hoping for the long-staying Western Reef Heron to be still there. The technique that these men use to get you off the island is a little dangerous: they attach a small rubber boat to their boat and wait until there are no big waves arriving, then they give a sign and you are pulled in the sea. On our morning visit to the river mouth, we could not find the Semipalmated plover again, but the American Golden Plover was still there and also the Western Reef Heron turned up now. www.birdtours.co.uk /tripreports/cape-verde/cv2/cv-03.htm   (4908 words)

Review - John Washburn: Stumbling Still Warm... Stumbling Sill Warm caught my attention with "Wait (A River Song)" and "It's Alright," two songs that bring me right back to the days when I followed Steve Goodman, John Prine and Bonnie Koloc as they sparked the Chicago folk renaissance of the 1970's. I've long been a fan of singer-songwriters, and John Washburn tells a story like many I've heard before, but they sound new. To me, that's a hallmark of an exceptional singer-songwriter, and John's got the gift of words and song with a touch of Americana thrown in. www.cosmik.com /aa-july02/reviews/review_john_washburn.html   (258 words)
