New York Art Deco Book PDF Online
The first guidebook devoted exclusively to New York Citys Art Deco treasures. Of all the worlds great cities, perhaps none is so defined by its Art Deco architecture as New York. Lively and informative, New York Art Deco leads readers step-by-step past the monuments of the 1920s and 30s that recast New York as the worlds modern metropolis. Anthony W. Robins, New Yorks best-known Art Deco guide, includes an introductory essay describing the Art Deco phenomenon, followed by eleven walking tour itineraries in Manhattaneach accompanied by a map designed by legendary New York cartographer John Tauranacand a survey of Deco sites across the four other boroughs. Also included is a photo gallery of sixteen color plates by nationally acclaimed Art Deco photographer Randy Juster. In New York Art Deco, Robins has distilled thirty years worth of experience into a guidebook for all to enjoy at their own pace. A wonderful, warmhearted, exceptionally knowledgeable and detailed guidebook that takes you firmly by the hand along fifteen thoughtfully planned itineraries through New Yorks most exuberant and optimistic architectural heritagethose much-beloved Art Deco skyscrapers, apartment houses, shops, and theaters that stand out as the showy orchids and magnificent birds-of-paradise of the citys building stock. Anthony W. Robinss New York Art Deco is an essential introduction to hundreds of structures that are, as the book says, waiting impatiently for you to visit. Tony Hiss, author of In Motion: The Experience of Travel Anthony W. Robins has produced what will surely stand as the definitive guide to New York Citys Art Deco architecture. The book is an authoritative as well as entertaining tour de force, drawn from the authors encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. Jules Stewart, author of Gotham Rising: New York in the 30s Anthony Robinss New York Art Deco fills a void in the design library of New York. Well organized by itineraries that begin at the very tip of Manhattan and work their way into the other four boroughs, it is filled with invaluable information on the monuments of Art Deco and French moderne structures whose design perfectly expresses the streamlined era when speed and movement were celebrated. This is a must-have book for every lover of Art Deco, whether you are a New Yorker or a visitor from New Zealand. David Garrard Lowe, author of Art Deco New York The Art Deco style fits New York like a glove, from the skyscraping Chrysler Building to the little, eye-popping Lane Theater on Staten Island, and nobody knows it like Anthony Robins. If you thought you knew Art Decoas I did, before I read his New York Art Decothen buy this book and be surprised. Christopher Gray, author of the former New York Times Streetscapes column Buy this book, take a few wonderful walks around the entire city (discovering some fine New York neighborhoods you probably have never been to), from the Grand Concourse and Washington Heights treasure trove of Deco to the Chrysler Building to Flatbush in Brooklyn, and ask yourself, do all those new glass towers in Manhattan leave you as delighted as Art Decos confections, whether seven stories or seventy? That generation knew how to make buildings that you really want to live in, work in, and walk by. Thank you, Anthony Robins, for giving us the keys to that kingdom. Barry Lewis, architectural historian With the publication of New York Art Deco everyone, from the city explorer to the armchair reader, can now experience Anthony Robinss dynamic Art Deco walking tours. Robins not only discusses the citys famed Deco skyscrapers, but also identifies the spectacular but little-known Deco gems spread across the city. This book is a must for those who love New York and thrill to Art Deco architecture. Andrew Scott Dolkart, author of The Row House Reborn: Architecture and Neighborhoods in New York City, 19081929

If you're rolling your eyes thinking that there's yet another petition for Netflix, among others, to save Constantine from being axed altogether then I wouldn't blame you. Every time I get sent a petition it astounds me the dedication and loyalty these fans have to see their show revived. We've seen it a few times before whether it was for Forever, Dominion or Hannibal.
This week it's been bought our attention of a mounting campaign asking The CW Network, Netflix and Yahoo Screen to invest in bringing Constantine back to life and giving the show a fairer chance after it was canned after the first season. A good score with the critics and much love from the fans makes you question why NBC gave Constantine the chop.
Constantine was a modern day adaptation of a DC Comic Universe character called John Constantine who was in The Hellblazers. The show is a much darker tone to most series in the same genre dealing with exorcisms, the supernatural and dark arts. The show ran for 13 episodes before a failed attempt at getting a season 2 by Matt Ryan and his team.
Here's what the official campaign to revive the show has to say "The dark supernatural TV series Constantine originally aired on NBC for one 13 episode season only to be cancelled. This left a very strong and avid fan base without any network for their show to call home." adding that "Constantine needs to be saved by another network to give the fans closure."
They also mentioned their strategy and which networks they're gunning for picking up the show "The networks we will be targeting are El Rey Network, The CW, Netflix, Yahoo Screen, AMC, and the USA network."

Updated DHTML Universe Map
I've uploaded updated renderings (pdf or png) of the document I use to keep track of the non-trivial, public DHTML toolkit efforts that have occurred over the years.
Interestingly, the difference between this version and previous ones is that many companies are starting to either release or talk about tools that they had quietly built in-house years ago. Also, Google and Yahoo have been on something of a hiring binge. Yahoo seems to be dedicating more (visible) resources to their responsive UI cause than Google. The secrecy difference between the two cultures might explain the delta, but I'm convinced that's not the whole story.
Also interesting is that many of the commercial DHTML toolkit vendors have been able to effectively keep mum about who is working on their products. The TIBCO's, Backbase's, and Bindows of the world must be paying their people astoundingly well for them to keep out of eyesight of the increasingly frenzied recruiters who are banging down the doors of every competent JavaScript hacker I know.
I will admit to not having kept this document as up-to-date as it should be. The proliferation of toolkits over the last year has been pretty astounding, and investigating each one to find out if it's just another crappy 10-line XMLHTTP wrapper hasn't been on the top of my list of things to do. So in true open-source style, your help is requested! If you have corrections or new information, please either mail them to me or submit a patch to the graphviz source file. The format is straightforward and easy to figure out.

Abigail Apple is running late to meet her blind date when she's pulled over for speeding. Unfortunately, the follow-the-rules cop doesn't care that she's late, let alone that she's heartbroken because her favorite dog rescue is in danger of being closed. Now she has to meet her date with mud drying on her heels, dog hair covering her dress, and the smell of a barn perfuming her hair. When she arrives, however, Abigail learns her handsome blind date is none other than the cop who pulled her over.
Abigail has no intention of staying until she learns Cooper Hill is heading a committee for the city that will award a six-figure donation to a charity of their choice. So, what's a girl to do? Abigail decides a second date is a perfect way to convince Cooper to vote for the dog rescue. Soon, however, Abigail is less interested in Cooper's vote than she is in his deep voice, kind heart, and tender touch.
Will this follow-the-rules cop and this follows-her-heart animal lover learn that despite poor first impressions, second chances can lead to love?
Titles in the Do Over Date series include — Million Dollar Date – Double Date Disaster –
(this series is a spin-off from the Kissed By The Bay series – to find that series, all the titles involved and so much more please visit our Susan Hatler page)

We're apparently gluttons for exhaustion, so in between bouts of endless packing, we had our last marathon Manhattan weekend, with energy provided by my visiting parents.
I rented the Nikon 85mm 1.4 G for five days and have had an enormous amount of fun photographing with this incredible lens.
The last my parents visited Central Park, they were younger than I am now!
If you haven't visited the World Trade Center site recently, you might be surprised by the formidable appearance of One World Trade Center.
My brother and sister-in-law were in town this week, visiting Brooklyn and New York for the first time in years.
The High Line is one of my favorite places in all of Manhattan.
On Saturday, we took a day trip to Upper Manhattan, specifically West 110th-122nd Streets.
Each September 11th since 2003, 88 searchlights are placed next to the World Trade Center site, lighting up the Manhattan skyline.
Governors Island is a 172 acre island located half a mile from Manhattan and Brooklyn.

This is pretty much the summary of my research for the last couple of days. For several days now I have a weird behavior of Apache where suddenly the load increases and some Apache child processes use up to 100% of the CPU.
Top shows that there are 3 Apache processes which use the most % of CPU:
5439 www-data 20 0 626m 170m 64m S 76 4.3 51:43.32 apache2
4355 www-data 20 0 680m 173m 58m S 43 4.4 34:08.04 apache2
3522 www-data 20 0 630m 205m 64m S 39 5.2 39:03.98 apache2
If we take a detailed look of open connections by using the lsof command, we can see the following:
# lsof -i :80
apache2 3522 www-data 26u IPv6 1210315466 TCP server:www->crawl-66-249-71-78.googlebot.com:54107 (CLOSE_WAIT)
apache2 4355 www-data 39u IPv6 1210322237 TCP server:www->crawl-66-249-66-136.googlebot.com:36722 (CLOSE_WAIT)
apache2 5439 www-data 26u IPv6 1210335205 TCP server:www->crawl-66-249-66-136.googlebot.com:62305 (CLOSE_WAIT)
apache2 5439 www-data 30u IPv6 1210345350 TCP server:www->crawl-66-249-66-136.googlebot.com:40885 (CLOSE_WAIT)
apache2 13904 www-data 3u IPv6 1210044289 TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 14633 www-data 3u IPv6 1210044289 TCP *:www (LISTEN)
apache2 14633 www-data 28u IPv6 1210440119 TCP server:www->22.214.171.124:17518 (ESTABLISHED)
apache2 16314 root 3u IPv6 1210044289 TCP *:www (LISTEN)
Surprise, surprise. We find the same processes found in the top output again. And we also see that they're not listening to new http connections anymore (meanwhile 3 new child processes were spawned). But the old processes are still open due to a CLOSE_WAIT status between Apache and the Googlebot.
The problem now is: What can I (and anyone else who experiences this problem) do? By definition a CLOSE_WAIT means that the remote side has closed the connection, but the local process still kept it open. Why does it only happen with Googlebot (which could prove an improper CLOSE from the remote side)?
If anyone has a solution for that problem, please let me know. And no, blocking Googlebot is not an option.
As of now the only temporary solution is to kill the affected child processes. This is not dangerous since all other http connections are managed by the new spawned processes, but it is not nice (remember, killing is not nice).
Update February 7th 2011: I was able to identify the reason and solve this, see Googlebot and Apache CLOSE_WAIT's: SOLVED!

You may recognize the pink fingernails. I've posted videos from this lady before. She made chocolate Gobble Berries (turkeys) for Thanksgiving and spiders and ghosts for Halloween. Her level of patience is astounding.
Let me just state. My children will never eat bunnies such as these. This is way too close to crafting for me.
Besides, is it just me or do these bunnies look a little like rats? Their noses are way too pointy. Easter rats. No, that won't catch on. Easter mice?

The BC SPCA is appealing for help for Hazel, a friendly and affectionate Siamese-mix cat who was found abandoned at a transfer station near Williams Lake.
"A Good Samaritan found Hazel scavenging for food at the local transfer station in Anahim Lake and brought her in," noted Liz Dighton, manager of the BC SPCA in Williams Lake, in a news release.
Hazel underwent a spay operation and during the treatment a hip injury was discovered.
"Cats are particularly good at hiding their injuries," she added. "They don't want to show weakness and become prey."
It was determined that Hazel's femur head was broken at the base and necrosis had set in, which was causing Hazel extreme pain.
"The injury was likely caused by a traumatic event," noted Dighton. "This little lady will need surgery and post-operative care, including physiotherapy."
Dighton says Hazel has been super social and affectionate since day one, even when she was in pain, and has become everyone's friend at the shelter.
Hazel will be in the BC SPCA's care for at least three weeks and possibly longer depending on how quickly she heals from her injuries.
If you can help Hazel and other animals in need at the BC SPCA, please visitmedical.spca.bc.ca.

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Claas, a leading agricultural machinery company, has officially cut the ribbon on a critical expansion project that increases the footprint of their U.S. parts distribution center by 75% to 175,000 square feet and expands the facility with an additional 18 shipping and receiving docks.
"This expansion not only gives us more space for parts, it has allowed us to streamline our inventory management process," explained Roger Parker, vice president of North American parts. "With the addition of 18 new truck docks, we are able to support the growing number of parts orders in the most efficient and cost effective manner. This expansion has also helped facilitate many other efficiencies."
The Claas Parts Center, located in Columbus, Ind., an hour south of Indianapolis, was originally built in 1981 to be the corporate headquarters for Claas of America. Corporate offices were eventually moved to Omaha in 2002, when the company built its state-of-the-art combine assembly plant at that same location. After the move, the Columbus facility was transformed into the company's North American parts hub. The parts facility was expanded 42,000 square feet in 2007 and the current expansion helps the company stay on top of growing demand as well as allow for projected growth.
According to Claas Group Executive Board Member, Jan-Hendrik Mohr, "Claas finished last business year near record levels, which is good in an environment where the global markets have been trending down. Here in North America we have made a big step in Columbus with this expansion. This facility, along with a new parts facility in Saskatchewan will help ensure that we are prepared to support our customers well into the future."
The Columbus facility is the primary distribution hub for Claas customers in the U.S. Additionally a Parts Logistics Centre & Claas Academy was opened in Regina, Saskatchewan to better serve Claas customers in Canada. Both warehouses are served by the Parts Distribution Center in Hamm, Germany, the company's worldwide distribution center.
The ribbon cutting ceremony was well attended by local dignitaries, Claas dealers, as well as a number of U.S. and global representatives from the group executive board. Among the local leaders were Ted McKinney, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, Trevor Lane, Indiana Department of Economic Development and Kristen Brown, mayor of Columbus. Spokesmen for the company included Leif Magnusson, president of Claas of America, Jan-Hendrik Mohr, member of the Claas Group Executive Board and Roger Parker, vice president of North American parts.

When those things are out of wack they definitely feel it. They experience emotions that they don't know how to handle. In this episode I'm tackling how you can best handle dealing with all of these behavioral and emotional changes. The first step always starts with you. How are you finding your calm?

Another fabulous challenge at 7 Dots Studio this month. Such great photos to get your mind flowing with all the possibilities. I haven't done traditional ATC's in a while, so I chose to make a set. Based off the mood board, I incorporated the jars and all the sparkles and shine.
I sometimes find it hard to use bright and bold colours but the mood board was so fun, I just went with it. Using the Paint Chips collection was perfect for pulling the deep purples and pinks out of the palette.

There are a number of different ectoparasites (external parasites) which target backyard poultry. Properly identifying the pest is key to successfully eradicating them. Since most of them are quite small, some barely visible to the naked eye, it can be difficult to detect their presence, and figure out which pest it is unless you know what clues to look for.

Some tabs that have slid across my browser in recent days:
International Tax Resistance
- International direct action against traffic-ticket-generating robots continues, with such machines being destroyed or disabled in Italy, France, and Germany; France and Italy; France and England (plus news that the new president of Brazil plans to discontinue use of the machines); and France and Saudi Arabia.
- Here's some more information (in Spanish) about the two war tax resisters from Spain who had their fines overturned in court, including what looks to be some excerpts from the ruling (see ♇ 7 May 2019 for an English translation of a newspaper article on the case).
- You may remember that Indian Prime Minister Modi abruptly removed high-denomination bank notes from the ranks of legal tender in . This was meant to strike a knockout-blow at the underground economy by forcing people to use more legible, traceable economic transactions than anonymous cash. It doesn't seem to have worked. Despite the significant short-term inconvenience and blow to the economy, the amount of cash currency in circulation quickly recovered to its previous levels and is now back on-trend to where it was before the experiment. You may have heard calls to eliminate the U.S. $100 bill, for similar motives. This experience may discourage such an effort.
- Farmers in Kurdistan who have refused to pay a "war tax" to what remains of the Islamic State (Daesh/ISIS) have suffered reprisals, such as having their fields burned down for their refusal.
- Ugandan legislator and entertainer Bobi Wine (Robert Kyagulanyi) has been arrested on charges relating to an anti-tax street protest he helped to organize .
War Tax Resistance in the U.S.
- The National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee held a national conference in Washington, D.C. . Here's a write-up by one of the attendees. Unfortunately they got tangled up in ongoing actions by leftist activists who were trying to occupy the Venezualan embassy there on behalf of the brutal, disastrous Maduro regime. It has been a disappointing thing to see groups like NWTRCC, CodePink, Veterans for Peace, and United for Peace and Justice carrying water for the cruel Maduro tyranny as though that were the only way to oppose disingenuous U.S. machinations there. It puts a shameful stain on what's left of the U.S. peace movement every time a group like this uses a phrase like "the legitimate democratic Maduro government of Venezuela".
- Lincoln Rice and Sue Barnhart recently talked about war tax resistance on the Spirit in Action radio show, as did Ann Barron and Larry Bassett in a follow-up.
- The Greenfield Reporter profiles war tax resister Thomas Wilson, who died .
U.S. Taxpayer Morale
A number of items that have been in the news lately concern how the U.S. tax system has become increasingly corrupt and imbalanced in favor of wealthy tax evaders. Stories like this tend to damage what's known in tax wonk circles as "taxpayer morale" — the willingness of citizens to pay their taxes without evasion or the necessity of harsh arm-twisting and draconian oversight. For example:
- Income tax audits of the Americans with the highest reported incomes have fallen dramatically. Just in the last year alone the rate fell by half.
- Income taxes on corporations represent the lowest percentage of federal revenue since at least 1960, with the burden increasingly resting instead on individuals.
- The New York Times pointed out that in California, local governments and corporations have rigged the sales tax system in such a way that a portion of the sales tax people pay is gifted to the same companies who collect it. In other words, the sales tax becomes a "bonus profit" to those companies, collected from consumers and enforced by law.
- Millions of former U.S. tax filers appear to have dropped out — not filing returns in the last filing season. One theory is that the tax reform legislation that came into effect last year caused some people to owe where they hadn't before, or to owe more, and that they decided not to file as a result. Three million people who received refunds in didn't file at all in .
- Trump's tariffs are on target to reverse the benefits of recent income tax cuts for low- and middle-income taxpayers by raising the prices of consumer goods.
- There's been another report put out about the "tax gap" (the difference between what's owed and what's collected) in the U.S. However it still uses largely stale numbers, updating them largely based on estimates and trends rather than evidence.

Italian modern Symphonic Power Metal maestros Temperance present the first single cut from their new studio album "Diamanti." Energizing and uplifting "Pure Life Unfolds" embodies the multifaceted sound of the five-piece with its grand melodies and thriving refrain – all topped by the fabulous performance of all three vocalists. With millions of streams across all platforms, Temperance are shaping up to be amongst the elite of Symphonic Metal!
Check out the official music video for "Pure Life Unfolds" through the YouTube player below:
Michele Guaitoli (Vocals, Piano) on the new single: "This song is proof that when we work as a team, we are limitless. I wrote this track 2 years ago, and it was a long suite with over 7 minutes of music. When Marco heard it, he saw a completely different potential in it and we started editing and working together. Basically, the intro and the chorus are the only elements that didn't change if not for some little adjustments, the verses and the overall structure has been re-arranged during our songwriting sessions and the final result is just magic. This track leaves you breathless and makes your heart beating fast from the beginning to the end."
After releasing their vibrant fifth studio album "Viridian" in 2020, Temperance – maestros of modern Melodic/Symphonic Metal – delight their devotees with the persuasive new offering "Diamanti," to be released on November 19, 2021, via Napalm Records. With "Diamanti," the exceptionally skilled Italian outfit once again showcases their extraordinary ability to merge brilliant vocal melodies, hefty Power Metal guitar riffing, and Symphonic soundscapes in perfect harmony – all dressed in modern surroundings. This is an offering that fans of bands like Amaranthe will fall in love with immediately!
"Diamanti" was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Amaranthe), with the cover artwork once again created by Yann Souetre (Ayreon).
Marco Pastorino (vocals, guitar) on the new album: "With Diamanti, we managed to combine our best qualities and selected the best TEMPERANCE songs so far. It's not our heaviest album, it's not our fastest work, but surely it's our favourite one so far!
We weren't necessarily supposed to record a new album only one year after Viridian, but luckily we made it! In this album you will find our trademarks: the vocal harmonies, the catchy melodies, but also epic stuff, strong arrangements, and long tracks – I am very proud of Diamanti and I am convinced we have written a bombastic album!"

Whenever you're in doubt about how to properly control unwanted snakes, the This Old House Reviews Team recommends speaking with a professional pest control company such as Orkin. Snakes should always be approached and dealt with after seeking professional help, especially when you're unsure about the species you're facing.
How To Identify Common Types of Snakes
Handling any pest issue—especially one as serious as snakes—should always begin with identifying the species. If you suspect you have a venomous snake in your yard, you should not try to manage the snake on your own under any circumstances. But depending on your region, you might be dealing with a long list of non-venomous snakes that are commonly found lurking in bushes, leaf piles, or storage areas.
Common Snake Types and How To Tell Them Apart
Snakes often slither by so quickly that it can be difficult to identify them if you don't know what to look for. There are a few common factors to consider to make an educated guess. None of these snakes are venomous or present a serious threat to humans.
Garter Snakes
Garter snakes can be found in most regions across North America other than particularly arid areas of the Southwest. They typically have three stripes running down the length of their bodies, have heads that are larger than their necks, and can grow up to 54 inches. Color and patterns vary among species.
Rat Snakes
Similar to garter snakes, these creatures vary in coloring and pattern but often feature a dark body with a lighter underbelly and chin. They also have larger heads than their necks. Rat snakes can swim and climb, so you may see them in trees or bodies of water.
There are also several varieties of the common backyard snake, the kingsnake. These types of snakes are commonly mixed up with venomous types, such as coral snakes, due to the bands of color down their backs. Depending on the species, kingsnakes may have red, yellow, or black markings. Most will have a spoon-shaped head and round pupils.
How To Tell if Snakes Are Venomous
Snakes vary widely in appearance, and you often need to get quite close—which we do not recommend—in order to pick out their unique features. However, there are some quick ways to determine if you could be dealing with a venomous snake in your yard.
|Head Shape
Venomous Snakes
Frequently triangle; Some non-venomous snakes take on this look to intimidate predators
Thin; Vertical; Surrounded by yellow or green eyes
Varies widely; Red bands touch the yellow bands on coral snakes
Non-Venomous Snakes
Rounded and spoon-shaped heads
Rounded pupils
Varies widely; Yellow and red bands are separated by black bands on scarlet kingsnakes
Why Do I Have Snakes?
Snakes are similar to other pesky visitors in your yard or home—they are often seeking food or shelter. Some snakes may hang around if they have access to eating:
- Fish
- Frogs
- Grasshoppers
- Mice
- Moles
- Rats
- Slugs
- Small farm animals
- Snails
Snakes may also seek shelter in thick brush, dense piles of compost or leaves, or areas of water. Broken gutters, firewood containers, or ventilation can also provide places for snakes to take shelter from the heat. Your area may also have a low number of natural snake predators, such as raccoons and foxes.
Common Signs You Have Snakes
If a slippery creature slithered by you, you may be concerned you have a larger issue. Here are a few signs you may have more snakes in your yard than you know:
- Shed snakeskins
- Snake droppings
- Snake holes
- Strange smells in enclosed spaces
- Tracks in your dust or dirt from slithering
How To Get Rid of Snakes in Your Yard
If you currently have a snake in your lawn, always begin by confirming that the snake is non-venomous before trying to remove it on your own. When in doubt, call animal control for help or your local pest control specialist for long-term management.
Spray the Hose
If you are completely certain the snake is not dangerous, gently spray a hose at the snake from a distance to help it move along.
Trap With a Garbage Can
If you intend to have a professional remove the snake the same day, you can also quickly trap it with a garbage can—again, only if you are sure it is safe to approach.
Use Snake Repellent
Common products such as Ortho Snake B Gon work by throwing off a snake's sense of smell and deterring them from nesting in your garden. Many of these products from stores or in your pantry are mostly safe for pets—though you should always double-check the label—and do not harm the snakes. For example, rim your pool, yard, or garden with white vinegar to deter snakes from getting this potent liquid on their skin.
Eliminate Standing Water
Inspect your lawn and home for pools of water, particularly in hidden areas such as by your hose, under a storage area, or in the garden. By removing these pools of water, many snake varieties will find another area to nest.
Set a Trap
Again, if you are certain that the snake is harmless, there are available ways to catch and release the snake. Glue traps, for example, lure snakes to their common areas, secure them to the trap and allow you to release the snake with common cooking oils.
Remove Shelter
Snakes like to hide from predators in warm, sheltered places. Remove common areas in your yard where snakes may be living, including piled hoses, firewood storage, tall grasses, dense brush, open areas under sheds, and storage.
Fill in Burrows
Snakes might also co-opt other animal burrows for themselves. Fill in holes and burrows with gravel or dirt to discourage snakes from making a home.
Keep Your Grass Short
Mow your lawn frequently with the setting low to the ground. This keeps snakes from hiding in your yard while eliminating the fear that you will see one out in the open.
How to Get Rid of Snakes in Your House
A snake in your house is a much larger issue than outdoors. Call animal control or a pest control specialist if there is a snake in your home that does not have immediate access to leave on its own, especially if it slithered out of sight. Snakes may find ways to get into your home if you have a mouse problem. We recommend contacting a pest control specialist the moment you see a snake in your home to both remove the snake safely and address the underlying problem.
How To Get Rid of Snakes by the Pool
Removing a snake from a body of water is safest with a long pole or hook, such as those used for skimming a pool's surface. Again, this is only safe when you are sure the snake is harmless. Otherwise, call for professional help right away.
In the long run, prevent snakes from entering your pool area by creating a natural perimeter with vinegar or with a tightly woven mesh fence that can keep snakes out.
How To Keep Snakes Away
Though some snakes can be beneficial to pest control in your yard, there are plenty of reasons why you may not want any taking up residence on your property. Here are a few long-term ways to deter snakes from making a comfortable home in your space.
|Why it Works
Lay gravel or other uneven ground coverings
Snakes cannot move or hide as easily without traditionally smooth or grass-covered spaces
Remove your bird feeder or birdbath
The birdseed or water attracts mice, which in turn, attracts snakes
Feed pets indoors
This deters rodents and insects from gathering outside
Trim your branches
This keeps snakes from climbing or making a home in the trees directly over your yard
Remove water elements
Areas prone to snakes may not be ideal for water elements in your landscape design, where snakes enjoy gathering
Add a snake-proof fence
Install a thin fence that keeps small creatures like mice and snakes from entering either above or just below ground
Protecting Your Home
In addition to keeping any rodent or insect issues in check, be sure to close up any easy entryways for snakes. These may include:
- Broken gutters and drainage
- Holes in your roof or siding
- Open cellar doors
- Open crawl spaces
- Pet doors
- Screenless windows
- Unsealed basement walls
How To Treat a Snakebite
Even non-venomous snakes might bite to protect themselves, and all bites should be taken with the same level of urgency. Immediately call 911, even if the snakebite does not immediately hurt or does not look serious.
In the meantime, or if you do not have immediate access to help, take the following steps:
- Always begin by making sure you are away from the snake. Do not try to kill or handle the snake, as it can bite again.
- Try to stay calm. If possible, lie down and roll onto your side.
- Remove anything restrictive such as watches or jewelry in case your limb swells.
- Try to arrange the part of the body with the snakebite below the heart.
- Clean the wound with basic soap and water if possible. Wrap it with a clean bandage while applying pressure.
- While waiting for help, try to mark where the bite occurred with a marker and note the time it happened.
Do not:
- Apply ice.
- Create a tourniquet.
- Cut at the wound.
- Drink alcohol or caffeine.
- Suck out the poison.
- Take ibuprofen.
Keeping Good Snakes Around
Having some snakes in your yard is a great sign that you have a healthy environment. Snakes are members of the basic food chain to help control unwanted pests and supply food for larger predators like birds. Harmless snakes may even eat venomous snakes, further ensuring a safe yard. Be sure to check with your local professionals before moving ahead with complete snake eradication.
Frequently Asked Questions About Snakes
What keeps snakes away from your home?
Natural sprays, treatments, and barriers can keep snakes from entering your property or home in the first place. In the long run, it is best to remove any temptations for snakes, such as:
- Bird feeders or pet food
- Broken drainage or gutters
- Insects
- Open storage
- Pooling water
- Rodents
- Thick brush
- Tall grass
Do mothballs really keep snakes away?
There is a common myth that mothballs are a safe way to deter snakes. However, it has since been found that moth balls do not have much of an effect. The chemical in mothballs can also be toxic to the water system, cause negative symptoms in humans, and be harmful to pets.
What is the best snake repellent?
Ortho Snake B Gone is one of the most popular natural snake repellents, but general changes to your home and landscape are your best defense for long-term pest control.
Does salt keep snakes away?
Salt has not been found to be a repellent for snakes. Unlike slugs, they are not affected by the salt's chemical makeup.

Cosmic Ghost Rider's Identity Revealed!
**Warning Spoilers for Thanos #13 and Thanos #15 Below**
Writer Donny Cates and artist Geoff Shaw introduced us to the Cosmic Ghost Rider in Thanos #13.
The crazed Ghost Rider swooped in and interrupted Thanos' invasion of Chitauri Prime. He showed off immense skills by easily besting the young Thanos and transported him through time to the distant future. But once we got into the future, we realized the Cosmic Ghost Rider was actually working for future Thanos. A future Thanos who had conquered Earth defeated the Avengers and even vanquished Adam Warlock. He had pretty much vanquished every foe standing before him.
However, the identity of this Cosmic Ghost Rider remained a mystery. Not to mention why Thanos was keeping this crazed being around.
I know more than a few people people speculated it could be Deadpool because of the Cosmic Ghost Rider's crazed personality. That theory is wrong.
In the pages of Thanos #15, Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw reveal the identity of the Cosmic Ghost Rider.
But before they do the Cosmic Ghost Rider describes himself, "I used to be a totally different guy. All broody and dark and mysterious-like. Real downer. If you'd met me back in the day, you woulda never recognized me. And I don't just mean because of all the melted face, flaming skull stuff neither. Some time in Hell, a few hundred years as a Herald of Galactus, and a couple million more hanging out with you…It's enough to make a fella go pretty hilariously insane."
Finally, the Cosmic Ghost Rider reveals himself to be none other than Frank Castle, the Punisher.
Not only did they reveal the identity of the Cosmic Ghost Rider, but they also revealed why Thanos keeps him around. The reason is the Ghost Rider's signature ability, the Penance Stare.
The Penance Stare "is the most haunting spiritual journey [Thanos] will ever encounter." But what Thanos sees are not "his darkest secrets and regrets. They are his fondest memories." Thanos revels in the experience of the Penance Stare. He even describes it as exhilarating.
In fact, futuristic Thanos has a daily ritual where he stares into Ghost Rider's eyes and relishes all of these memories. He then eats breakfast.
And he does all this in preparation for a final foe. One if not the only being left for him to offer up as a gift to his eternal lover, Death. It's the reason he needs younger Thanos. Because despite his power, there still might be a foe out there strong enough to take him down.
If you haven't been picking up Thanos, you should start now. It's one of the best ongoing books at Marvel and maybe one of the best comic books out there period. I highly recommend it.

It was a rough day on the ranch logistics-wise, but there is this image of Dabo Swinney watching cows play on a drumline. He's smiling, but in his head is roiling a series of questions you know Dabo Swinney has to be thinking: How do they hold drumsticks without thumbs? How much am I supposed to smile? What the hell does this have to do with me jacking recruits from Will Muschamp? Those aren't real, right? What do we call real, anyway? Who am I? Who are you? Do cows have five stomachs? Does that work like I think it does? Because I bet that fifth stomach is lazy. Stupid lazy cow stomach. Gotta get motivated, stomach five! Get in the digestin' game! Bet all of Les' stomachs work. Just chewin' away on all that grass.
I bet Nick Saban got a gizzard.
I just bet he does.
P.S. Nick Saban does not have a gizzard, and we'll be back tomorrow with a full schedule of content.

Most of us growing up along Canada's East Coast never worried about hurricane season. Except for those working at sea, we viewed hurricanes as extreme events in remote tropical regions, seen only through blurred footage of flailing palm trees on the six o'clock news.
Today, a warming ocean spins hurricanes faster, makes them wetter and drives them towards Atlantic Canada and even further inland. Hurricanes, winter storms and rising sea levels will continue to worsen unless we slow climate change.

The release of RISC OS for the Raspberry Pi uses a clever partition layout on the SD card so that both the files needed to initialise the board and the RISC OS filesystem can coexist. This avoids the need for an additional USB drive for the !Boot files and for storing applications and data.
A similar setup is possible on the Pandaboard and Beagleboard, but no preconfigured image (yet) exists. Keith will demonstrate to steps needed to create a suitable SD card setup for these boards, which does currently require the use of certain other operating systems.
Besides saving a USB slot, the major benefit of doing this is added performance because the SD card filing system (SDFS) is much faster than using a USB drive.

On the morning of Tuesday, 6 June 1944, Sergeant William Norman Clague landed with No. 6 Commando unit at Normandy. The following Monday, on 12 June 1944, he was killed in action. Sergeant Clague was 26 years old at his death.
The scale of World War 2
Between 1946 and 2019, there have been many world historical events which fill history books: the Iron Curtain falling across Europe, men walking on the moon, the Vietnam War (amongst others), the reunification of Germany, the death of Princess Diana, the September 11 attacks, and so on. For each of those world events, almost every person I've met experienced those events as a witness from afar – "Where were you when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon?" "Where were you when Princess Diana died?" "Where were you when the September 11 attacks happened?". Those were events where the overwhelming experience of most people in my sheltered life were observers who heard about them second-hand.
World War 2 was on a different scale. When my grandparents spoke about World War 2, they told me stories of what they did during World War 2, not where they were when they heard about it. World War 2 wasn't something that most people in our civilisation merely witnessed – World War 2 was something that most people experienced.
That immense scale of World War 2 is reflected in the sixty million deaths according to Victor Davis Hanson's excellent book. Many hundreds of million people suffered various injuries, and literally billions of people were involved in various ways. My limited human brain can't comprehend those numbers. I agree with the horrific maxim attributed to Joseph Stalin but more likely first coined by Kurt Tucholsky, "The death of one man: that is a catastrophe. A hundred thousand deaths: that is a statistic!".
Thus, when I remember the sacrifices of my predecessors who fought for our freedom, I prefer to think of the stories of individuals – because I have no capacity to think of the experience of billions of people. Hence, I've attempted to tell part of the story of a small bit of one man's service in one theatre of World War 2. This is very much an imperfect effort – an attempt to make a small contribution of a few brush strokes to a much bigger picture of World War 2. If you are interested in seeing a bigger picture, some of these books are outstanding.
Mining the Archive of Overlord
After watching the Criterion Collection's blu-ray remastering of the movie OVERLORD (1975), I saw an accompanying featurette MINING THE ARCHIVE (2007) talk about how the the movie interwove genuine war footage with the fictional story. MINING THE ARCHIVE mentioned a Sergeant Clague – which I instantly guessed must have been a Manx person with a surname like that. I loved the movie OVERLORD because it contrasts a "dreamlike meditation on human smallness within a large, incomprehensible machine." That perfectly reflects my perception of World War 2 – the combination of millions of tiny stories to form a grand narrative.
Living now on the Isle of Man, I was curious about who Sergeant Clague was, and thanks to the wonders of Google, it was clear that he was Manx. However, in a paper by Toby Haggith of the Imperial War Museum, titled 'D-Day Filming: For Real. A Comparison of 'Truth' and 'Reality' in "Saving Private Ryan" and Combat Film by the British Army's Film and Photographic Unit' he wrote, "Unfortunately, we know little more about Norman Clague". Hopefully this article helps to fix that.
One Man, Sergeant Clague
Sergeant William Norman Clague was the son of William Joseph and Catherine Robina Clague, of Douglas, Isle of Man. With William born in the final months of World War 1, the Clague family lived at 21 Derby Road, Douglas – still a residential area today. It appears that 'Norman' was his preferred name, and his field grave was marked as Sgt N Clague when he was first buried.
William had a sister, Violet, who he wrote to during the war. This is likely the same Violet Clague who is recorded in the Douglas Borough Cemetery Burial Registry as passing away on 22 June, 1957 at the age of 41. This would have made her approximately two years older than William.
When Clague signed up to the Army, he was assigned serial number 3775712 and joined the Army Film & Photographic Unit, as part of the Kings Regiment (Liverpool) 8th Irish Battalion. Prior to the Second World War, the Kings Regiment had a pre-existing connection to the Isle of Man, with the 1st Isle of Man Rifle Volunteers being assigned to the Kings Regiment since its formation.
Clague trained with the Army Film & Photographic Unit, which was only formed after the war began. Britain had not a single cameraman in uniform on 3 September 1939.
After the completion of his training, like other cameramen, he was immediately promoted to Sergeant.

Sergeant Clague's Approach and Landing
Clague was assigned to No. 6 Commando for the invasion. This was a batallion comprised of around five hundred men, and was one of five batallions which formed 1st Special Service Brigade. The commandos were trained as an elite infantry force, and on D-Day, the 1st Special Service Brigade attacked on the eastern-most edge of Sword Beach.
Clague was one of ten Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU) photographers and cameramen to go ashore with assault troops on D-Day. He was the first to be killed-in-action.
On the boat to France, Clague recorded his daylight transit, which is now available online here from the 2:17 mark of the film.
In the image below, their unit planned to attack just west of the River Orne, north of the town of Caen.
Their landing point was at Hermanville-sur-Mer – a wide and open stretch of beach. On the map above, only a small area was shaded as the target – to either side were shoals which blocked landing craft.
Beyond the beaches which were famously named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, the beaches were more specifically divided into seventeen sectors. These were labelled alphabetically from Able (at the far west, or left as looking at the map above) to Roger at the far east near the River Orne. Clague went ashore with No. 6 Commando at Queen beach, amongst the east-most units of the invasion.
This is approximately where the Bill Millin statue exists today.
Clague's CommanderDescribes the Approach
No. 6 Commando's commanding officer on D-Day was Lieutenant-Colonel (later Brigadier) Derek Mills-Roberts, who subsequently published the story of his service as 'Clash By Night: A Commando Chronicle'.
After the war, he described the unit's approach to the French coast on D-Day:
"It was full daylight as we approached the shore and prepared to land. Just a little time before we had passed close to a large capital ship anchored several miles out, and had seen her guns blazing away against a shore battery to our left. As we passed close by her we saw one of her gun crews, wearing what looked like white protective clothing, emerge from a turret to wave and give us the thumbs-up signal. The coastline ahead was low and flat and covered in a fog-like haze after the recent tremendous assault bombardment from the air… Away to our right a destroyer was on fire from stem to stern, but I had no time to look at her as I had to keep my eyes glued on where our landmark should be. As I leant on the forward edge of the bridge there was a shattering explosion, and the craft in line with us and to our right went up with a full-blooded roar. A shell had pierced her petrol tanks – several thousand gallons of high octane fuel can cause quite a bang."
"I had got our landmark now but it was still indistinct in the smoke haze. The heavy swell had lessened inshore, but our way was barred by huge iron stakes and on the end of each was a live mine… The shell fire was now more intense and the splashes round us more frequent. Our men were lying flat on the deck behind the cover of their bullet-proof casings. We would strike the beach any second now. On these occasions the officer always goes first. I took up my position on the port bow with Alan Pyman in a similar position on the starboard bow. As the landing-craft touched, the two light gangways were slammed ashore, but almost immediately the sea took the stern of the vessel and my gangway swung adrift. There was no time for delay and I jumped into the sea, followed by Corporal Smith and those on the port side of the ship.Clash by Night, Brig Derek Mills-Roberts
Clague's unit landed at around 8:40am on 6th June, 1944 – almost three hours after sunrise at 5:57am in Normandy that day. At the time, the soldiers used British Double Summer Time, which is the same as Central European Summer Time today.
Below is the beach as it was in September 2019. You can see the wide and open nature of the beach, with little cover from enemy fire in ordinary times. Soldiers reported that by the time that Clague's unit came ashore, the beach was somewhat sheltered by damaged and destroyed vehicles from earlier invasion waves.
Wikipedia reports:
"British and French commandos encountered tough resistance in the seaside town of Ouistreham, on Sword's eastern extremity, but were able to clear it of enemy strongpoints. By 13:00, the 1st Special Service Brigade had reached the bridges on the River Orne and the Caen Canal, linking up with paratroops of the 6th Airborne Division, who were holding the bridges, after earlier disabling German gun batteries in a fierce night-time battle at Merville."Sword Beach – Wikipedia
Moving Inland
Once ashore, the commandos moved inland, near to the river Orne. In taking the villages of Le Plein and Saint-Aubin-d'Arquenay, they suffered more casualties – by the end of 7 June (D-Day +1) six men had been killed – two officers and four enlisted men. In addition, a further forty men were recorded as wounded. During this time, and the subsequent days, shots came from the eastern side of the nearby river – snipers and mortars from time to time.
All this time, from Tuesday (D-Day) through to the following weekend, Clague and his unit were still within five kilometers of their landing point: a little further than the distance from the sea terminal in Douglas to Union Mills. Each night was noisy, as 6 Commando was shelled by German troops, and 6 Commando returned fire.
During this period, he recorded allied troops moving through the town – and his fellow soldiers milling around. Note the white flag waved by the civilians in the first snapshot below.
During this time, the Brigade's commanding officer, Brigadier Lord Lovat, visits in the pouring rain, while the unit continues to skirmish with German resistance. Mortars fly back and forth, with Germans continuing to fire from the eastern side of the river, near the town of Breville.
His Final Day: 12th June 1944
The commanding officer of No. 6 reports:
Place: In the field, Le Plein
a.m. – We shell enemy all day. They shell us.
p.m. – 2200 hrs Brigade order 2 & 6 Troop to withdraw from trenches to permit 12th Para Btn to pass through and attack BREVILLE. This attack is preceded by a very heavy barrage which is answered by enemy counter barrage. 12th Para Btn suffer heavy casualties forming up. We suffer 1 Offr & 15 O.R's casualties. 12 Para Bn take BREVILLE. Brigadier Lord Lovat wounded. C.O. takes over Brigade. Major Lewis takes over Commando.Lieutenant-Colonel Derek Mills-Roberts' diary
One of those casualties was Sergeant Clague. True to the end, he was behind the camera, not in front of it. In his final hours, he continued to record the efforts of his brothers-in-arms.
World War 2 historian RG Poulussen shared this clip from the Imperial War Museum, purporting to be the last footage of Sergeant Clague.
During this skirmish, a German mortar landed, killing him and others. It was sudden. Despite his role as a cameraman, it was not a movie scene. It was another horror of war. A man struck down at 26 years of age. His individual sacrifice contributed to a broader narrative. The cost of war was very concentrated for Sergeant Clague, and the benefit was dispersed to billions of people who live more freely today as a result. As a young man, he left no descendants behind, no wife – but he did leave behind a loving family and a grateful nation.THE BRITISH ARMY FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHIC UNIT 1941 – 1947 © IWM (B 7298)
Clague's Ordinary Heroism
In every way that was important, Clague was a hero – he selflessly went to war, and literally helped to tell the history of one of the most important battles of the last century. In doing so, he made the ultimate sacrifice. There are no available records that show he even fired his gun at the enemy – instead of shooting with a rifle, he shot with a camera.
In a way, Clague's heroism was deeply ordinary – it was not a heroism of glamour, it was a heroism of playing his role in one small part of the front. Clague's heroism was the heroism of a civilian soldier standing up when he was called to do his duty. Clague answered the call, to perform his job, when he was asked to do so. In a way, his heroism was banal – he was like so many other millions who stood up when he was asked to do so. That his countrymen and women stood up does not diminish his sacrifice. Indeed, it magnifies it, because Clague, like many others did their duty when they were needed most.
In reflecting on his service and his sacrifice, I'm grateful for their legacy of freedom.
Lest we forget.
You can see raw, unedited, clips of Sergeant Clague's recordings from British Pathé here:
From 2:17 onwards here, on the boat heading towards the Normandy coast (note his slate at the 2:17 mark)
Ashore, away from the beach (again, his slate is shown at 5:17 here)
You can see some of Sergeant Clague's recordings in:
The Criterion Collection's blu-ray remastering of the movie OVERLORD (1975), and accompanying featurette MINING THE ARCHIVE (2007)
CBS News – D-Day anniversary: Watch archival video of the iconic invasion in Normandy. I think some of the video at 0:27 of the boats are from Clague.
Movie Marathon
Interested in the story of D-Day? Watch the movie "Overlord" followed by "Saving Private Ryan".
The multiple-award winning film, The Longest Day, tells the story of Clague's area of Normandy, along with his brigade's assault on Pegasus Bridge in subsequent days.
Spelling Note
- During World War 2, the rank held by Norman Clague was spelled Serjeant, but I have used the modern spelling of Sergeant throughout. The Serjeant spelling is used on his grave in France.

Inspired by illustrious feminine beauty, it is no surprise that today it is still the choice of many of the world's most famous actresses, socialites and princesses. Celebrated for its Italian craftsmanship as much as its mystique, the House of Gucci continues to thrive as it nears its first 100 years.
