Show notes The Border-to-Border Touring Route spans 750 miles, traversing northern Minnesota by utilizing pre-existing roadways, extending from the North Dakota border to the shores of Lake Superior. The border-to-border project was initiated in 2015 and represents a collaborative undertaking involving the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Minnesota 4-Wheel Drive Association. In 2015, the legislature directed the Minnesota DNR to collaborate with the Minnesota 4-Wheel Drive Association to address off-road vehicle touring routes.  As the planning process and public listening sessions across northern Minnesota began, the DNR received mixed support and opposition about the proposed touring route from the public, county officials, and various environmental groups.  When first proposed, the Border-to-Border Touring Route was initially planned to end in Cook County. However, Cook County was dropped from the route after county officials and the public shared their reservations with the project planners about potential increased motorized traffic and environmental degradation, such as damage to trout streams, aquatic invasive species, and wetland concerns. The route now ends near Silver Bay in Lake County.  Despite the delays and Cook County's involvement, the nearly eight-year-long project is now entering the final stages of the route management plan.  As it nears completion, a Cook County resident and well-known photographer, Bryan Hansel, decided to pack his bags and venture out for a long-distance bikepacking trip in mid-October along the border-to-border route to experience it firsthand.  “So I knew I wanted to do a long bike trip this year,” Hansel said. “There was a lot of controversy with it in Cook County. So I figured it just seemed like a good idea to go ride it and see what it was about.” Hansel planned his route using a biking program called Ride With GPS based on the preliminary border-to-border map on the DNR website. “And that loads into my bike computer, and then the bike computer gives me turn-by-turn navigation,” he said. He began his journey in the northwest corner of Minnesota and strategically mapped out 60-mile days based on available camping locations. As he pedaled along the gravel roads, he said his apprehension about the route faded. “What I found is that the DNR did a really good job of picking roads,” he said. “I found that a really fun and exciting route.” “I always imagined it was more of this off-road vehicle type of route. And there's all but maybe four of five miles that I would have taken my Subaru Outback on with no problem,” Hansel said. “It was like solid good, graded county roads like you'd expect to see in Cook County.” Along the way, Hansel tweaked his route to avoid paved roads and enjoy small detours to nearby parks, small towns, and other interesting northern Minnesota sights. One of his favorites was Big Bog State Recreation Area in Beltrami County. “I've always wanted to go and hike the trails there because it's one of the biggest bogs in the state,” he said. “And that was beautiful.” Another highlight of the trip, Hansel said, was the stretch between Blackduck and Silver Bay. “That was amazing. I would ride that all again in a second.” During his ten-day bikepacking adventure, Hansel completed 650 miles for a total riding time of 57 hours.  Although the route has yet to be officially finalized, Joe Unger, the off-highway program consultant at the Minnesota DNR, expressed enthusiasm over the news that several individuals, including Hansel, have already embarked on exploring the touring route. While several individuals have traversed the route on street-legal enduro bikes and in vehicles, to Unger's knowledge, Hansel is the first person to bikepack the route. As the DNR prepares to wrap up the route management plan, it will enter a final 30-day public comment period later this winter. Unger said the route management plan addresses things such as “environmental considerations like stream crossings, wetlands, wildlife, and fisheries.” Then, come spring, the DNR intends to sign agreements with various road authorities, finalize maps, and put physical trail signs along the route.

Ladda ned i Appstore eller Google Play. * I dagens avsnitt träffar vi Jan-Erik Brandt som sommaren 2003 tog livet av sin sambo i Äppelbo i Dalarna och grävde ner henne på tomten. Han nekade under många år till mordet och har senare hävdat minnesförlust. Men nu – i intervjun för Bakom galler – erkänner han och berättar för första gången om mordet och hur minnet av gärningen kom tillbaka. Sambon Marie försvann efter en utekväll natten till den 11 juli 2003 och hittades först två månader senare, nedgrävd på tomten. Brandt har sedan dess suttit frihetsberövad. Både tingsrätten och hovrätten dömde Brandt till livstids fängelse eftersom mordet måste varit “ett utdraget och smärtsamt förlopp, som injagat dödsångest hos offret”. I domen står att han borde kunnat besinna sig men att han inte gjorde det, och att undanröjandet av kroppen “tyder på att han handlat i kallt blod”. Jan-Erik Brandt försöker få Högsta domstolen att ta upp fallet genom att erkänna mordet hösten 2004. Men när det inte blir någon ny rättegång tar han tillbaka erkännandet, och hävdar att någon annan dödat sambon. Han har fortsatt neka under åren men i samband med sin andra ansökan om att få straffet tidsbestämt så tillstår Jan-Erik Brandt att bevisningen mot honom är övertygande men att han inte minns vad som hände den där sommarkvällen 2003. I höstas lämnades hans fjärde ansökan om att få straffet tidsbestämt in, och i bifogade yttrandet från Kriminalvården kan man ana att han numera minns gärningen. Det utvecklar han dock i intervjun med Bakom galler.

According to Minnesota Public Radio, it's hot girl sinkhole spring. In other words, we have a ridiculous number of potholes right now in the Twin Cities, and since we can't do anything other than wait for the hardworking folks of road repair to fix them, we made a game about the whole situation. Andy and Beth Korth join for this special Nice Games Jam! Attributions This episode comes to us courtesy of Nice Games Club, a Minneapolis-based podcast about game development.

Find out more about his band The Urban Hillbilly Quartet on their website. Game notes Prompt Ellen gave us a prompt: "Create a game about patching potholes that Gabe would have fun playing" Game type Tabletop game Materials Marbles Play-Doh or alternative squishyness A very complicated custom game board Road tiles of various sizes and configurations Setup Set up the custom game board Distribute marbles to all players Distribute Play-Doh to all players Distribute road / terrain tiles to all players Determine who will be the first player per the rules below Rules In a nutshell, the game challenges players to roll marbles down a hill. The hill is made of road tiles, but some of the tiles are pitted with potholes. Players can use Playdoh to patch potholes in the road so the marbles will make it to the finish. The board is a grid laid over a raised pyramid where players put down terrain. Everything starts in the center (city hall); that's where you put the marbles so they roll down the hill. Each quadrant is a side of the pyramid, there's some method of tiling for the player to put pieces down to determine how the marbles will travel in that area. Turn order Play starts with the player who most recently hit a pothole with their car or their bike. In case of a tie (as might happen if multiple players were in a car together), the younger player goes first. Play then proceeds clockwise. Players can take 3 actions on their turn. You can do the same action more than once. The actions are: Rotate the board Place or swap a tile Patch a pothole Drop a marble Tiles Each tile is worth 1, 2 or 3 victory points when marbles pass through. The rougher the tile, the more victory points it's worth. Players also get a bit of Play-Doh to fill up potholes in the terrain. Players have 5 tiles in their hand at any given time; as an action, they can play one, then draw back up to 5 tiles. Rotating the board Rotating the board happens towards the left (counterclockwise), the opposite of play order, which goes to the right (clockwise). Each rotation turns the board 90 degrees. Scoring & dropping marbles If a marble reaches the bottom of the hill in front of you, you get the victory points that it acquired from each tile it moved through on its journey from the top of the hill to the bottom. You ONLY get the victory points if the marble reaches the bottom of the hill. If you drop a marble as an action, and the marble gets stuck on the way, you don't get any points from the tiles it passed through. Winning the game Play proceeds in 12 rounds. Each player gets one turn per round. Play ends when the turn counter reaches zero (game starts at the start of winter, ends at the start of the next winter) Whoever has acquired the most victory points by the end of the "year" is the winner of Pothole Run Fun stuff to think about for the future We have to create an extractor to get the playdoh out. Cooperative play mode? Roles for each player? Someone who's better at filling potholes, someone who can put more marbles down, etc. Maybe two teams?

Adolf Hitler prix Nobel de la paix : non non, il ne s'agit pas d'une mauvaise blague. Cette proposition saugrenue a même germé dans l'esprit d'un parlementaire suédois qui avait adressé une lettre au comité de ce prix, en 1939. Ladite suggestion était, toutefois, bien moins sérieuse qu'ironique... L'art de l'ironie Erik Brandt : voilà comment s'appelait l'individu qui a probablement eu l'une des idées les plus excentriques du XXe siècle. En janvier 1939, ce député social-démocrate suédois est alors fraîchement élu pour participer aux débats qui agitent le parlement de son pays. Antifasciste revendiqué, ce fils de pasteur est aussi issu d'un milieu plutôt modeste, puisqu'il est originaire de Borrby (une petite commune située au sud de la Suède). Alors qu'une guerre contre le Reich semble aussi inévitable qu'imminente, l'homme décide cependant de communiquer son rejet du nazisme à sa manière. En effet : pour faire réagir ses contemporains, Erik Brandt écrit une lettre ouverte au comité Nobel norvégien (le 1er février 1939). Il y demande clairement à ce que l'on attribue le prix Nobel de la paix au dictateur qui avait annexé l'Autriche et envahi les Sudètes au cours de l'année écoulée. Autre élément du sulfureux contexte : Neville Chamberlain fait, lui, officiellement partie des nommés pour la récompense. Ayant signé les accords (léonins) de Munich, le Premier ministre britannique avait fatalement eu pour don d'agacer Erik Brandt... Manque de chance, toutefois : même si son initiative absurde, pleine d'humour noir, aurait bien pu séduire les anti-nazis de tous bords... c'est précisément l'inverse qui s'est produit ! Rire de tout... mais pas avec tout le monde "L'amour ardent de la paix" du Führer, pourtant ostensiblement évoqué de manière sarcastique, n'avait pas plu à tout le monde ! Effectivement : contre sa propre volonté, Erik Brandt fut tristement pris au sérieux par ses contemporains. Comble du comble : c'est le militant anti-fasciste suédois qui a lui-même été taxé de fascisme ! Ce quiproquo restera toutefois sans grande conséquence : la proposition ne fut évidemment pas étudiée par le comité Nobel... et la guerre – impitoyable - allait définitivement éclipser tous ces "débats" devenus du même coup caducs.

Mathias og Kathrine starter med at finde ud af, hvad der ikke skal ødelægge det gode humør. Noget, der slet ikke skal det, er den forbudte ordbog, livstrafikmeldinger eller 'Tættere på Danmark', som tirsdagens program byder på. Dagens placering, som Mathias og Kathrine skal forsøge at komme så tæt på som mulig, er Æbelholt Kloster, og det bliver marginaler, der afgør vinderen. Taberen må smøre stemmen, for der skal synges en god omgang karaoke som straf. Der bliver også dykket godt ned i de kulørte ugeblade, hvor vi skal forbi Silas Holsts sommerhus, Erik Brandt og kendtes babynavne.

"The songs seem to have multiple layers, but are uncomplicated to the ears. They glide smoothly, despite the fact that they take the listener over some bumpy terrain. The songs are catchy, but smart. They make you tap your toe and bob your head, but you feel smarter and informed when the song is over, the lyrics resonating as does the beat. A wonderful work of art." - Mike Coenen, author of The Apocalypse of Marlon Brando, on the new Erik Ritland album A Scientific Search A Scientific Search, Erik Ritland's NEW ALBUM, will be released on Sunday, August 16th.
