Allan Savory's theories have been largely debunked. Turns out he rejects the scientific method because "Holistic management does not permit replication". Linky

Thanks, good article but correct me if I misunderstand but doesn't this support the Melanesian origin theory?

Just out of curiosity where does that information come from? because i've always assumed they from PNG.

Very interested, since I was born in Rabaul, anything Papuan tingles my spidey sense :). And I can confirm that winged beans are quite delicious BTW. Suscribed!

I'm beginning to think you made all this massive change with a POD back in the 19th Century just to have the Leafs win another Cup!!:rolleyes::rolleyes: I'm wondering about other sports though, are Lacrosse and Rugby bigger in this TL maybe by axing the CFL?

Hey you left out "Les Glorieux", if the leafs win in '93 the Habs don't get the miracle of Saint Patrick, do they get another crack at it?

OK that makes sense, I must have skimmed over that part in the original Post. I wonder though, won't the proximity of Seattle reduce the importance of Vancouver as a port (or vice-versa). OTL they duplicate many of the same functions, it's hard to believe Canada would need two large deep water...

Admittedly it was one of his lesser works, but even on his bad days Vinge's world building skills are simply amazing.

Fantastic update! Great to see this back DV.

Awesome as usual DV!! It's even beginning to eclipse Green Antarctica as my favourite of your TLs... I think we need a TL where both Jared's Land of Red and Gold and Ice and Mice co-exist, oh the butterflies!!!!

They could always have been colonized from the "other side" so to speak. What if the Dorset cultures had migrated to Iceland probably by walking their accross the ice in a particularily cold series of winters searching for better sealing groundes. I realize they are Hunter-Gatherers but they...

I can see the argument both ways, I'm a bit of a purist in that if you've got 4 athletes competing why shouldn't they get (and have it count for) 4 medals? 20m? Sure, why not. 50m? That seems a little excessive and very dangerous but hey so is jumping off a 10m diving platform... I dunno...
