UN Report: Wrenching Climate Changes Ahead
Published: 25-Jan-2007
OSLO (Reuters) - A U.N. climate panel will project wrenching disruptions to nature by 2100 in a report next week blaming human use of fossil fuels more clearly than ever for global warming, scientific sources said.
A draft report based on work by 2,500 scientists and due for release on February 2 in Paris, draws on research showing greenhouse gases at their highest levels for 650,000 years, fuelling a warming likely to bring more droughts, floods and rising seas.
The report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) may have some good news, however, by toning down chances of the biggest temperature and sea level rises projected in the IPCC's previous 2001 study, the sources said.

Opening scene: I think isolation is a part of the film and how Ruth feels like she is alone with this passion and has no one to help her or even interested in what she does. But then she finds Eddie, who finally understands her passion and supports her.
Given that this is her passion, it would be interesting to use Close Ups when she is doing what she loves, and then move to wides when she is being cut down and taken away of her bubble.
For example: the opening of the story is her isolated in a tent and she is observing her surroundings. A wide establishing how she is alone in this hill, and then a Close Up to introduce her could be interesting given that it could establish that when we are alone with her we get to see her world as she sees it.
Close Ups of her hand touching the sand, her brush, her eyes as she is concentrated and inserts of multiple things that surround her can give us a better understanding of how she lives and what her world looks like.
Camera Movement
Given that Ruth and Eddie gradually come closer and closer there could be a change on framing. It could start with them being apart, Medium Close Ups and then move to Two shots in which we see them closer together or Over the Shoulder which also bring characters closer to each other.
Static vs Movement: there are various moments in which movement of the camera could be motivated by either an emotion or an actual action. Given that Ruth is cut off when Hollis is in the picture, movement and handheld could be useful to convey these feelings to the audience. While in moments like the campfire scene there could be more smoothness and locked off shots so we stay with their faces and reactions.
Shallow depth of field: I think this could be an interesting way of isolating some characters from the background, without being too dramatic. For example Hollis, who could care less about Ruth's passion, we could show him isolated from his surroundings, given that he doesn't realize the wonders that surround him.
POV: she is so in her own world and people don't understand her that looking at the situations from her perspective could help the audience stand where she stands, and therefore, feels what she feels.
Given that there is a lot happening with the land and a there is a lot of tension between Ruth and Hollis, compositions in which while we are with these characters we see what is happening around them could show the stakes. For example the workers that are waiting for commands, Ruth's tent and the excavations.
When Hollis crumbles up the paper which says when she has to be out and the moment when Eddie throws his hat on the floor are very similar in situation, but there are different characters being shut down. It would be interested to have similar shots in order to tie back to when Ruth was being shut down versus how she is finally discovering what she has been waiting for her entire life.
Example: When we see the fossil, I think it could be interesting to be where this would be. So that way we see from a low angle how they react to this discovery.
Warmness can be shown when she is alone with Eddie, specially when they have the interaction and Ruth opens up to him. Warmness invites us in into their closeness and we can better understand what these characters are feeling.
Silhouetted characters could be another interesting way of isolating the environment and would also mimic the sun and how light hits a subject during the day.
The fact that all these scenes are in different times is interesting given that it shows passage of time and it helps build up the setting and the relationship between Ruth and Eddie.
Playing with shadows could be interesting. Hollis shadow at the beginning of the film could be more overpowering, and as the story progresses it can be less and less noticeable.
Color palette: earthly tones, given that Ruth is a ground to earth person who is just trying to make reality this thing that she believes in. Warm colors like oranges could be used when she is with Eddie, specially in the campfire scene; blue tones could also be used, specially when there is calmness in the environment.

I know some of you won't believe me, but a long time ago, when the internet was young, there was no such thing as Google. Honestly, I'm not making that up. By the time I started this site in 1999, most of the current search engines had already been around for a couple of years, Excite, Google, Lycos, MSN, WebCrawler, Yahoo and the rest but they were slow and hadn't indexed that many sites. Not that there many around, around 2 million as compared to today's 1 billion.
In order to help increase the visitors to a web site there were a couple of strategies that people employed, banner links; reciprocal link exchange pages, web "awards" and webrings.
What Webrings Are
Webrings were, and still are, a system that grouped and linked web sites of similar content together. A webring manager would create a piece of code either using their own independent system or one from the organizations such as RingSurf, Bravenet's SiteRing, WebRing, WebRingo, RingLink (now WOW Webring) (World of Webrings), Alt-Webring, RingsWorld, Looplink, OneSeek's WebChains or one of the others.
People would ask to join a webring and they would, if accepted, be given a unique identifier and the code to be placed on one of their pages. Some ring manager would insist that the webring code be placed on the homepage, others would allow them to be placed on a "web ring" or links page.
An example of a webring snippet
The code would usually provide links to the ring home, links to the next and previous in the ring and be able to provide a list of sites in the webring.
A Short History of Webrings
Denis Howe started EUROPa (Expanding Unidirectional Ring Of Pages) at Imperial College in 1994. The idea developed further when Giraldo Hierro conceptualized a central CGI (Common Gateway Interface) script to enhance functionality. Sage Weil developed such a script in May 1994. Weil's script gained popularity, pushing Weil in June 1995 to form a company called WebRing. In 1997, Weil sold WebRing to Starseed, Inc.
In 1998 Starseed was acquired by GeoCities, who made no major changes to the system. Just a few months later, in early 1999, Yahoo! bought GeoCities, and eighteen months after the acquisition, on September 5, 2000, Yahoo! unveiled a fully overhauled WebRing, known as Yahoo! WebRing.
Although Yahoo!'s implementation was meant to streamline the way the rings were managed and provide a more consistent interface for all rings, many of these changes were unpopular with ringmasters accustomed to the older system which gave them more flexibility.
People really were upset by the takeover. Webrings started appearing called "Another Victim of Y! Hooliganism Screams", "The Day the Rings Died", "Because Webring is Broken", "The Y-Free Webring", "The Anti-Yahoo! Webring", and "The Pissed Off with Y!WebRing Web Ring".
On April 15, 2001, Yahoo! pulled their support of WebRing, leaving it in the hands of one technician from the original WebRing, Timothy Killeen. He unveiled a WebRing free of Yahoo! influence on October 12, 2001.
In the years since this change, many of the features which had been stripped by Yahoo!, particularly customization options, were reimplemented into the WebRing system. On September 26, 2006, Webring Inc. announced a new WebRing Premium Membership Program. They have separated memberships into two types, WebRing 1.0 and WebRing 2.0. Sites that are part of WebRing 1.0 will be limited to 50 webrings per URL. Existing 1.0 members can maintain more than 50, but can not add more.
In conjunction with the premium membership program, WebRing introduced an affiliate program, in which webmasters earn money when others join webrings from their site; they earn an additional payment if the new member purchases a premium membership.
In early October 2007, Webring was granted a trademark on "Webring" from the USA Trademark office. Also in that month, Yahoo's long partnership ended as Webring ownership repurchased Webring stock held by Yahoo, marking the first time since the late 1990s that Webring was again privately held.
By the beginning of 1997, there were over 1,000 webrings. By May of 1997 over 10,000. By April, 1998, there were over 40,000. By January 2000 there were over 80,000.
Much of the information for this section came from Wikipedia. Katharine Mieszkowski, a senior writer for Salon wrote a good history of WebRing and Yahoo! in the article The Strange Saga of Yahoo and WebRing on that site in 2001. Another marvelous site about the history of webrings is James S. Huggins' Refrigerator Door.
A List of Webring Systems
WebRing and and still is, the largest of the webring systems but there were and are others. The following is based on what I can find in the Internet Archive.
Alt-Webring is owned by Andrew McPhee who started it in April 2003 due to his dissatisfaction with the other webrings. It is still going but the webring directory is broken.
Bomis was formed in 1996 by Jimmy Wales, Tim Shell and Michael Davis and hosted hundreds of webrings. Hosting soft porn it also saw the start of Wikipedia and hosted it from January 15, 2001 to June 2003. The last time the Bomis site had any content was in 2010. In October 2014, it justs says "Hello, World!"
CrickRock was powered by the RingLink Perl program. The domain is still active but giving a SQL error as of October 28, 2014. CrickRock (archive) appeared in December 2000 and lasted until late 2008.
Looplink (archive) appeared in January 1998 then disappeared in November 2000.
Mimanet Webring Zone (archive) appeared in November 2000 and last appeared in May 2010. James Huggins wrote that the site had "apparently acquired the assets of the the Plebius.org site, including Martin Kretzman's perl script to operate a webring." Plebius (archive) seems to have been a web directory, programming source and generally as mixed bag of material. It first appeared in the Internet Archive in January 1999. It went through several changes, becoming Plebius Press, "a psychology resource center" in January 2003. "Publishing Solutions" in September 2005. A "Myspace Resource" in April 2006. "Politi Comments" in December 2012, and Pimp-my-Page, a social media resource in September 2013.
OneSeek (archive) had a system called WebChains and appeared in July 1998. The WebChains seem to have stopped in April 2000, and the web site more or less closed down apart from their logo in September 2011.
Page-Ring (archive) appeared in February 2001 but was gone by November of the same year.
RingLink (archive) first appeared on February 22, 2001 and is still going as WOW Webring (World of Webrings). It seems that the owner, Gunnar Hjalmarsson, had his hosting company unexpectedly closed down in 2014 causing the change of URL. WOW was also a place to discuss the various webring systems while RingLink was the actual code base, a CGI Perl program. Ringlink v1 appeared in February 2001. The links below are from the Internet Archive of SourceForge.
v1.13 on February 9,
v2.01 on October 27, 2001; v2.1 on February 9, 2002; V2.37 on September 1, 2002; v2.41 on February 27, 2003; v2.51 on May 29, 2003
v3.03 on July 30, 2003; v3.04 on October 2, 2003; v3.05 on October 6, 2003; v3.1 on March 18, 2004; v3.2 on February 21, 2005, v3.3on January 3, 2009.
RINGo first appeared in 1999 and was (is?) administered by Kaloyan Tenchov. It started off with 18 webrings, had 32 in February 2001, 23 in March 2001, 19 in July 2001, 12 in March 2002, 15 in June 2002, 19 in December 2002 and that number has not changed right up to the present. Most of the sites listed are now gone, but some are still around.
Ringsurf appeared in 1997 and are still going but are ridiculously slow.
RingsWorld (archive) appeared in 2000, seems to have been relaunched in January 2006 then disappeared in May 2012.
Stardust (archive) was a webring system that used RingLink. It appeared in January 2001 but had gone again by the end of 2003.
WebRingo appeared in 2006 and are still going.
Some web hosts offer their own webring service. 50Megs started theirs around June 2001, and Freeservers around June 2009.
There were webring systems set up for specific audiences. One was ChristianWebRings.org (archive) that was formed by Rudy Brinkman and Doris Howie in October 2000. It ceased operating by January 2003 and the domain became a dating site - Christian Soulmates, which itself stopped in November 2006.
Webring Timeline
Are They Still Relevant?
Webrings are best suited for single subject hobby sites. Sites like mine which cover a variety of subjects, are pushing their use a little because not everything on the site is relevant to users of the ring and means I have to keep the web rings together on a separate page so people can get back to them. They are probably not suitable for commercial sites because of the nature of rings which are supposed to connect sites of similar content then the sites in the ring will all be competitors not collaborators or complimentary.
Webrings are not difficult to implement. They simply involve asking to join a ring and pasting the code into a web page. The problems start with poorly managed rings and sites that remove the ring code from their pages or simply cease to exist but do not leave the ring. That results in broken "previous" and "next" links that can leave the user lost. WebRing has a system where the links are automatically checked and if the code is not found that site is suspended from the ring.
There's natural wastage as sites change or cease to exist. When I rewrote my webrings page in October 2014 I found I was the only member left of some rings and some had so many broken sites it wasn't worth my being active in them any more and so I deleted my membership of them where I could. Some of them, I had no choice but to simply remove the code from my page. That experience led to the writing of this page.
One advantage of webrings is that everyone is equal in them. There's no messing around with SEO (search engine optimization) techniques. A site may be on page 27 of a major search engine's results but that doesn't matter in a webring. So long as a site is relevant to the ring and is included in it, then it stands just as much chance as being the "previous" or "next" link as any other and is always listed in the ring's site listings.
Another possible disadvantage is that the presence of a webring link on a site may be seen as an invitation for a visitor to leave the site. I'm not sure the rings actually work like this. Webring links only appear on one page of a site, either the homepage or on a specific link or webring page such as mine. If people want to the leave the site it's just as easy for them to leave from any page rather than navigate back to the home or whatever page the webring link is on.
Yet another disadvantage was that because not many commercial sites used them then the sites using them were seen as amateur. Most were and looked it, but back then, people had to not only write the content themselves but also design the pages and write the HTML as well. No Content Management Systems (CMS), blogging or journal sites back in those days.
Webrings were once very popular and being extolled in articles such as by Greg Elmer in "Web Rings as Computer-Mediated Communication" (January 1999) and Larisa Thomason, Senior Web Analyst for NetMechanic in "Site Promotion With Web Rings" (May 2001) but even by 2002 people were asking if they were worth joining, saying there were dying and going the the way of animated email gifs, web counters, scrolling and/or blinking text, midi background music that could not be turned off and the "under construction" images. Some people were even asking what they were!
The traffic from the webrings have been decreasing and I now just get a couple of people a week visiting my site from each of the rings I belong to. It doesn't bother me too much. I have always sent more people into the other sites in each ring I belong to than I have received back and I have always been in the top contributors of the rings.
Now and then I look at other sites in the rings and have visited some very interesting ones I wouldn't have otherwise seen.
Webrings, SEO, and Link Wheels
Webrings are not link wheels. Webrings are rings, link wheels are more like spokes than wheels. Link wheels started out when some people realized that one way search engines worked page rankings was that the more links a site had going to it the better the page rank. Around 2000, mini-sites sprung up, often loaded with keywords, that were in effect adverts for the main site. Most search engines quickly got wise to this and now class these links as they do link farms and can actually decrease a site's page ranking or even remove the site from their listings altogether.
Nowadays a link wheel is usually meant sites that provide real content that point to a main site. These usually involve social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Google+ and even include sites like Flickr, LinkedIn and YouTube. Blogging sites such as WordPress, HubPages, TypePad, LiveJournal and others are also used. Using these the aim is not only to provide a lot of quality links to the main page but to get people interested enough to visit it. That will increase the site's page rank or at least generate visits and hopefully for commercial web sites, sales.
It would be interesting to know what effect, if any, webrings have on SEO but I haven't been able to find anything definitive. Webrings have never worked as even the early link wheels. The sites in webrings can vary wildly in content, style and quality but I really have no idea how search engines treat the links; good, bad or indifferently. One discussion from 2011, offers two point of views. One that that webrings were a type of SEO back in the day and another that search engines didn't even crawl the links.
The main difference between a Webring and a Web Wheel

Contractors building a new highway tunnel under downtown Seattle have started digging a 120-foot pit to rescue a stalled boring machine named Bertha.
Seattle Tunnel Partners also is pumping out groundwater as it digs the 80-foot-wide pit near the Seattle waterfront.
Continue Reading Below
The $80 million, five-story-tall boring machine overheated and came to a stop last December after digging about 1,000 feet, or about 10 percent of the planned Highway 99 tunnel route. An investigation found seals in the cutting head were damaged.
A crane will lift the cutting head from the pit for repair. Tunneling could resume in March.

11 days - Join Mongolian herdsmen on horseback into the wilderness.
This journey on horseback is a close encounter with Mongolian horsemen and their horses, nomadic people who have thus far survived modern pressure and lifestyles. There is no other nation in the world that so much depends on horses. Mongol horsemanship is famous and strikingly different than anywhere else. The herders keep their horses in a semi-wild condition, allowing them to live freely in harem groups.
During the harsh winter of subzero temperatures, the horses fend for themselves and protect their foals against predators such as wolves. There are no fences or any stables anywhere. We will ride out on the steppe, which is the summer pastureland of Mongolian nomads. We will ride in two strikingly different areas; first, the treeless steppe and then through the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area, which is in the mountain and forest taiga zone.
This ride is yak supported.
Highlights include
- Explore two very different environments on horseback: First, we ride across the vast treeless steppe, summer pastureland of Mongolian herders
- Horse trek without vehicles, in wild terrain
- Visit Monastries and picnic in the wilds of Mongolia

Mongolian families frequently move from one pasture to another using traditional wooden carts. These are hitched to the animals available in the region. Here we will use yaks, or rather yak-cow crossbreeds called hainag. The services of some herdsmen will be hired by the expedition and they will provide us with their animals.
English speaking guide, break-fast every day in Ulaanbaatar, welcome and farewell dinner. All meals outside Ulaanbaatar. All overnights in hotels (2n.) gers (2n.) and tents (7n.) in shared double, camping equipment and all local transport.

Day 2 - The Steppes
A.m. Visit the Gandan lamasery, possibly in time for the prayers, the center for the Buddhist revival in Mongolia. The Mongols follow the Tibetan version of Lamaism, the Dalai Lama being the supreme theocratical leader. We depart for the steppe and have a picnic lunch on arrival, pitching camp near some nomadic families. Here we will meet the yak carts and our horses.
Meals1 Lunch

AccommodationTwin share tents
Days 3 - 5 - Steppe ride
All our provisions, camping equipment and luggage will be loaded onto yak carts. Even a ger (yurt) will be brought, and we will learn how to set it up. We ride across open steppe, but also cover hilly terrain with occasional patches of birch forest. Throughout the ride we will have the chance to meet with local herdsmen, often relatives and friends of our local horsetrail guides. On the second day, forests will suddenly start to appear and we are now riding towards the Khentii wilderness area, which includes the Khan Khentii Strictly Protected Area and Gorkhi Terelj National Park. In Mongolia the Siberian boreal forest meets the Central Asian desert and steppe and we will be riding through the transitional zone between grasslands and northern Larch forests.

It is your responsibility to do this before your trip but please don't hesitate to speak to us if you need any assistance.

Mongolian Climate
Mongolia is known as the Land of the Blue Sky and throughout the year, there are 278 sunny days and 9-23 cloudy days.
In Mongolia the Central Asian desert zones meet with the Siberian taiga, hence, Mongolia is a transition zone with climatic extremes. Most of the year it is very cold, especially at night. Precipitation is low and skies are usually clear during the wintertime.
Summers, however, are very pleasant just as in the Australia and Europe. There is a short rainy season in July and August during which most of the annual rain will fall. Around 70 percent of all precipitation falls during these three summer months. When raining it tend be heavier and shorter, if extended it may cause floods locally. Occasional strong winds can come and go quickly. Spring and fall pass very quickly. Even if this sounds like a lot, precipitation during the summertime it is just about the same as in Europe at the equivalent time.
Horse Riding in Mongolia
Horse Riding in Mongolia
Mongolia is probably the most equestrain nation in the world. Not only is the Mongol heritage and lifestyle intimately connected with the horse. Mongolia is an exceptionally inviting place for keen horse riders. The absence of fences and the vast expanses of the steppes and forests are ideal.
Our partner, Nomadic Journeys offer horseback journeys as an integral part of their lifestyle. Even on treks and their ordinary trips, it is at most times possible to cater for individual requirements to go horse riding. The best for keen horse riders is however to join a small horse riding group in the Terelj National Park, 100 km from Ulaanbaatar and in the steppe areas south thereof. Both are rather wild areas, with the cultural aspect more pronounced in the steppes, and extraordinary mountain taiga landscapes more pronounced in Terelj. We depend totally in moving our equipment by yak carts, and we have no vehicle support during such trips. Since the carts will be slower than the riders, we will ride in circles, meeting up with the luggage and the carts to the campsites agreed ahead of us. It also provides slow riders the option to join the carts. They travel no more than 25 km in one day.
It should be remembered that the most professionally bred horses exists in central and steppe areas rather close to Ulaanbaatar, since the horse racing tradition is more competitive and pronounced. The reason for this is the competitive edge needed to succeed in the national annual Naadam Games held in Ulaanbaatar.
If you join any of our other journeys, and still want to ride, this is also perfectly possible. You should then order your personal horses at the time of booking if you are an experienced rider. Horses can be pre-booked out of Jalman Meadows Ger Camp as whenever we are on a trek.
These horses will be provided at extra charge. We will rent horses on your behalf directly with the herdsman providing them. We will ensure that there is at least one local horseman riding along with tour members at all times. We have found it easy to learn to ride Mongolian horses, however, only experienced riders that are in command of the horse, should attempt extended rides. An easy walk around camp, will be possible for all members to try.
We will provide you Russian saddles, which are more convenient for "western bottoms" than the Mongolian equivalent. The latter are made of birch wood! We recommend that you bring your own hard hat. Riding boots or short chaps are essential. We provide a saddle bag if needed.
To participate in extended rides it is required to be a competent rider, at ease at all paces, capable of riding confidently over varying terrain for several hours every day. It is not essential to be a skilled horseman; both good riders and less experienced riders will find horses suited to their abilities and character.
The most elaborate horse riding is together with our wranglers Erdenebayar, Battsengel or Badrakh. Their fathers are among the most well-known horse trainers of Mongolia, and have been training race horses in Japan! Riding with them is in Töv province. In the steppe lands south of Ulaanbaatar, and also in the Khan Khentii.
Rides can also be organized in and around Lake Hövsgöl National Park in the north. And we will develop rides in the northeast areas of Hentii, among the Buryats. Their horses are on the average somewhat larger than most horses in Mongolia.

It is now 38kg's that I've lost since I started doing Triathlons 5 years ago. The majority of the weight was obvious because I was overweight but then you get to a stage where you don't loose the weight so rapidly anymore and you then tend to starve yourself to loose that extra fat.
After I joined markallenonline last year and also reading his book "Fit Soul Fit Body" I realized that although I was eating healthy my food allocation was still not right.According to my new eating plan I need to get a split between Carbohydrates, Protein and Fat of 60/20/20. In the beginning of the year I started keeping track of what I eat and records everything in this little black book. Everything gets recorded in the book and I also record my workouts for the day to balance the calories with that, that I've consumed for the day I was amazed that I was getting to little Carbs and Protein and still get way too much Fat in during a day. I was shocked when I saw how easy it was to get it wrong during the day. One thing I changed was eating more fruits as I am not a big fruit lover but starts to enjoy it more and more.
Initially I thought that I will only keep track for a week or two but I am on my second black book and I think that I have a pretty good idea of what to eat everyday to get the balance right.
Since I am eating according to the 60/20/20 principle I do have a lot more energy, don't get sick that often and I have started loosing weight again. I need to drop another 2kg's to reach my ideal racing weight and then I just need to keep it there.
Today was a full day with my last gym session before IMSA and a long brick session. The bike leg was tough today as it started raining after 4 hours and I was riding in the rain for the last 2 odd hours. Don't mind the rain that much as I keep telling myself that this could happen in the race and then you at least know how it feels. What worries me is all those motorist flying past you. Did put my flasher light onto my bike before I went out as I was expecting rain but it's still a scary feeling.

What is an Essential Oil?
Essential oils are natural aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of plants. They can be both beautifully and powerfully fragrant. If you have ever enjoyed the gift of a rose, a walk by a field of lavender or the smell of fresh cut mint, you have experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant protection.
Essential oils are non water-based phytochemicals made up of volatile organic compounds. Although they are fat soluble, they do not include fatty lipids or acids found in vegetable and animal oils. Essential oils are very clean, almost crisp, to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin. Pure, unadulterated essential oils are translucent and range in color from crystal clear to deep blue.
Essential oils are used for a very wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends depending on user experience and desired benefit. Essential Oils are usually administered by one of three methods: diffused aromatically. applied topically, or taken internally as dietary supplements.
Workshops and classes are designed to help you learn what and why essential oils and natural solutions!

The hard drive on my iMac failed last week. I'll spare you most the details, but suffice it to say Disk Utility couldn't bring it back and a fresh install wouldn't work. I tried everything. Trust me. Luckily it was covered by my Apple Care protection plan so I took it to my local Apple Store and they replaced it without a problem.
I wasn't too concerned about replacing my data since I was using Time Machine to backup my iMac. When I get home I start up my computer, proceed to restore from backup, and find that my Time Machine backup volume cannot be mounted.
This is when I start to get worried. Apple's Disk Utility reports success on verify disk but fails on repair disk. Damn. Same thing from the command line using
fsck_hfs and from Recovery mode.
What are the chances that my main drive and my backup drive have a similar failure in the same week? I'd say pretty good.
Recovery Attempt #1
I purchased a recovery utility called DiskWarrior, which was ultimately no help. The app, when run from OSX, has memory problems when repairing a drive larger than my pinky finger. I'm still waiting to receive their rescue CD to see if the drive can be repaired when booting from that, but I'm not holding my breath.
Update 1: I tried booting from their rescue CD and received the same error message.
Recovery Attempt #2
My next step was to find and use a tool called ddrescue. Its a modified version of the unix
dd utility that does a better job when copying bad sectors. This took forever, but at least you can interrupt and continue the process later if required. I ended up stopping this part of the way through because I was concerned that my target drive wouldn't be large enough to hold the full disk image. Both were 2 GB in side, but I had an OS and other files on my main hard drive.
To The Cloud!
Luckily I had a backup of my backup using CrashPlan. I made an initial download of some important files and that seemed to work ok. The download speeds are slow, but its better than being without 50 GB of family photos.
One thing that helped the recovery process was the fact that a lot of my day-to-day data was in the cloud. My bookmarks and contacts are stored in iCloud, and all my passwords are store in Dropbox ala 1Password.
Lessons Learned
Don't cheap out on your backup hard drive. I'm going all-in and replacing my external USB drive with a Drobo 5N. I'm going to disassemble a Linux file server box that I have and use those drives plus a couple new drives to create a single, safe file storage solution.
Time Machine corruption is very hard to fix. This is due to the way Apple creates and versions each file of the backup. Make sure your Time Machine drive is reliable and always in good working order.
Keep the important stuff in the cloud. I'm glad I used CrashPlan. I may ultimately switch to using Amazon's Glacier service, but either way keep an "oh shit" backup somewhere online. Even if its a smaller than a full system backup.

The last weekend, as discussed in a previous blog post, saw us take part in a four day folk festival in our home town. Despite my wavering and failing voice we prevailed through the weekend of fun, frolics, socialising, drinking and awesome music. The organisers created an amazing line-up taking in a huge variety of folk musics, artists and musicians across a huge number of different venues, plus it all ran smoothly - a big well done to everyone involved, so much work and dedication, it all paid off in the end.
The view across the Thames Estuary.
Our input was to help open the festivities with a set at the Squeezebar on the Thursday evening, which we managed despite my ailing vocal abilities and poor taste in onstage jokes. Friday night saw Emma and myself at the Fishermans Chapel to watch the Owl Service, You Are Wolf (one of my high-lights), Crafting for Foes, Firefay feat. Alison O Donnell and Roshi. feat Pars Radio. This was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the entire festivals dynamic line-up.

You Are Wolf
Saturday morning saw an instrumental, improvised Lost Harbours set backing the poetry written by Justin Hopper for Public Record: Estuary and performed by various artists including Jo and Ray of Sundown Arts and Justin himself. The setting was the beautiful St Clements church - perched on the hill overlooking Old Leigh this building dates back to roughly 1400 and later that evening it was the venue for Mike Heron (Incredible String Band) and the Trembling Bells.
The original recording can be heard and downloaded here: CLICK

After an afternoon spent relaxing in the Library Gardens enjoying the music of Crafting for Foes and She'Koyokh, with Çigdem Aslan (another festival highlight), we ventured back to the church for Cath and Phil Tyler (third festival highlight) before heading off for soundcheck back in Old Leigh for that evenings show.
I won't say too much about that night, except that I'm hoping a recording of the set comes to light. We were joined by Diana Collier of the Owl Service / Greanvine for vocals on Idumea, a studio version of which will hopefully be recorded at No Recording studio at some point in the near future.
The Dead Rat Orchestra in the Scout Hut as part of the Squeezebox line-up on the Sunday.
Sunday was a day to chill out and see our friends bands play: Plantman, Melodie Group and Ghost Music, and ramble between venues enjoying the weather (despite the occasional shower). The Dead Rat Orchestra put on a grand show for Squeezebox, showering the audience in wood chip and scattering metal shards across the floor. C Joynes was as great as always in the Fishermans Chapel, keeping me spellbound with his guitar playing. We sat outside the Chapel and listened to the Trembling Bells as the venue was rammed to the rafters for their performance. For the last few hours of the festival we watched the last acts in the Sundown curated Scout Hut: Haiku Salut, Blazing Zoo and Ghost Music were the last three acts I caught - a great end to a great festival.
Time to rest for a day before two more shows: Ryans Bar in London the 1st July (8.30pm) and the Cafe De Artistes in Lewes, Sussex on the 4th July.

Major Scale Modes on Guitar
I find playing Guitar is a great way to unwind after a good days worth of coding.
I've been playing for about a year now and I love it. I'm really, really good at playing the same 4 chords over and over again - just ask my flatmates.
To attempt to remedy this, I've started to learn a lot more theory, with the hope that I'll be able to better my improv skills. I don't yet fully understand all the theory, and am in no position to teach anyone, but the more I read, the more musical theory makes sense.
I've found this great video on YouTube which has taught me the basics.
There is a PDF that accompanies the video too.
I've just managed to memorise all of the shapes over the last week or so, practice, practice and more practice!
When I feel more comfortable moving up and down the neck, there is the major pentatonic and minor scales to learn. Until then

East Thorne – Our Review.
Our Review of East Thorne, Kilkhampton – Cornwall.
One of the boys favourite holidays so far was at Trecombe Lakes in Falmouth, and despite having been to Majorca last year, and Lego Land the year before that, they have a new favourite.
We've just come home (on Friday) from a 5 day holiday to East Thorne in Kilkhampton near Bude, and despite it costing us about a tenth of price of our foreign holiday last year and that it's only an hour away from home, this is the holiday that has now set the bar for my boys for all future holidays.
On the way to our holiday we popped to Tintagel and had a lot of fun there. This set the mood for the rest of the holiday.
When we arrived at East Thorne we were greeted by Adam one of the owners, who was really friendly and let us know where to park, and Naomi his wife popped out to say hi and to tell us what was where around the site. I loved our little cottage we booked to stay in, it had everything we needed.
I especially loved some of the thoughtful touches, such as cosy throws to use in the evenings, and the candles dotted around the lounge area. We even had some delicious brownies left in the cottage for our arrival!
The shower in the bathroom was nice and powerful, which I was pleased about, as we have stayed at some places where the shower is a disappointing trickle, and I do like a power shower. Also the actual bath that the shower was over was L shaped and huge, Harley could almost swim in it.
Everything at East Thorne was clean and fresh. The floors upstairs did creak quite a lot, but that's cottages for you, and this and the exposed wooden beams in the bedrooms just added to the cosy feel of the place. Both of the bedrooms had decent sized wardrobes, which was just as well, as I always seem to pack as though we are moving house rather than just going on holiday!
Although we loved our cottage, after seeing Naomi and Adam on Four in a Bed this week and seeing more of the inside of the Yurts on site, I do have a bit of Yurt envy and really do think we may have to try one somewhere at some point, as they looked lovely! If you do watch the programme, they're both funny and lovely on it and I am also wishing we ordered a breakfast bag.
On the site as I've just mentioned there are Yurts, a shower/toilet block, a fire pit area where they lit a lovely fire for everyone to sit around in the evenings, a games room with a pool table in, loads of space for children to play, an undercover eating area with barbecues, overhead heating and a wood burner, and a playground.
There were chickens wandering around as well, which the boys loved.
The whole time we were actually at the site, we hardly saw the boys! There were loads of boys of similar ages staying on site, and they were both off with them playing football, or playing Zombies in the dark with torches whilst we enjoyed sitting around the fire outside.
It was lovely to sit around the fire and chat to some of the other people there, pretty much everyone else seemed to be Welsh that week, and I love the Welsh accent. With so little light pollution, you can see so many stars in the sky at night that it really is beautiful just to relax and admire them.
The boys were definitely in their element, as when we're at home they have a big group of friends they are always off to the park with, so I think they would have felt a bit lost if they hadn't had people to play with, plus we got to spend more time alone together than usual which was lovely.
We were lucky with the weather whilst we were at East Thorne, but if it had rained, the cottages have dvd players and there is a big selection of dvds and board games in the reception area to choose from. Adam was a big help with advice on places to go when we asked him about pubs to eat at, which would be showing the football (groan), even though Simon ended up watching it on the laptop as the boys wanted to play with their friends for longer.
Naomi and Adam were both around a lot, but not in your faces, they left us to get on with our holiday but were around if we needed anything, and even if they escaped for a walk with their own little family, they left a note on the chalkboard in reception letting us know they weren't around and left a phone number to get hold of them on.
They really both seemed lovely, and Naomi even came to find me after seeing on Twitter that I struggling to get phone signal to apologise! It was actually a good thing, as it forced me to relax more, and plus I'm pretty sure locations of phone masts aren't her fault, and I could get signal outside in several places around the site anyway.
East Thorne is self catering, and we mostly ate out for lunch and then had a light bite at the cottage in the evening, although we did go to Gilletts chippy twice naughtily, they are close by in Kilkhampton and to Fin's delight they even do pizza.
You do have to drive to go out anywhere other than for a walk from East Thorne, but that's to be expected anywhere you stay in Cornwall really, and I'd much prefer to be away from it all in such a peaceful beautiful place and have to drive to get anywhere, rather than be in the midst of a busy place where you have to drive for ages to get away from it all and get some peace!
We would definitely recommend East Thorne as a family holiday location, and the boys would too, in fact they'd happily move in there if they could! Thank you Naomi and Adam, we had a lovely time!
We had some brilliant days out on our holiday, so look out for more posts coming soon ;)
This is an independent review of East Thorne, and we paid for this holiday ourselves, if you want to book to stay there you can visit www.east-thornecornwall.co.uk for more information.

It sounds as though you all had a fabulous holiday with lots to keep everyone occupied and happy whilst staying in excellent accomodation. Perfect for all the family. I remember well, that if my boys were able to make new friends and had lots to do whilst on holiday, their mum and dad were happy too! xx
Most definitely, so long as the boys aren't bored we always have a good holiday! They were so well behaved though that they didn't even argue once, probably because they were always so busy! It was a lovely site :)

The cottage looks lovely I would love to stay in something as cosy as that and there seemed to be plenty for your kids to do, I'm glad you had a good holiday :)

The cottages sound (and look) lovely, and you sell it very well, we are looking for a UK holiday currently and this was not a place I had heard of before, so another one to look at, thank you.
Thank you! We love our staycations around the UK, and even though I live in Cornwall it's always nice to stay somewhere else and go on more days out than we would at home!

About me
Welcome to my Web page. I am happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente, and I enjoy my colleagues and patients. I look forward to working with you to care for your pain condition.
I attended medical school and completed most of my residency training on the East Coast, but I always consider Southern California my home—it is where I grew up and attended college. I am the second generation in my family fortunate enough to enter medicine as a profession, with my father, a family doctor, as my role model.
About my practice
Medicine as a career is a very special opportunity to connect with and help people in a meaningful way, utilizing medical skills and knowledge but also listening and responding to patients' own descriptions of their needs. Being a doctor allows people to share with me some of their deepest, most personal concerns; it is a privilege to help patients more fully understand their medical conditions, facilitate getting them the appropriate evaluations, and communicate with them and their families. I feel very honored that patients have entrusted me with their care and strive to treat them as I would my own family. I was trained in the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation and sub-specialize in pain management with emphasis on interventional spine procedures.
How I thrive
I believe that having a positive attitude and outlook on life will help me to overcome any obstacle. In my medical practice I always try to convey this belief to my patients, especially those with a chronic pain condition, in helping them to cope.

Read information about the authorStephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.
He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.
Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.
In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.

A revival of "Hair" is headed to Broadway next season. The question is: which one? The two contenders are the Encores! concert version, which played City Center last spring, and the Reprise! production, which just completed a brief run this past weekend in Los Angeles.
New York critics cheered the Encores! "Hair," which was directed by Kathleen Marshall and featured a cast of youthful but largely unknown New York performers.
The Reprise! "Hair," directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman, also won raves. The Los Angeles Times called it "vibrant," "fervent" and "propulsive."
Its cast featured more seasoned showbiz performers, including Sam Harris, Jennifer Leigh Warren and Steven Weber.
The creators of "Hair" - composer Galt MacDermot and lyricist James Rado - disagree about which production is better.
Rado did not return calls yesterday, but a person close to him says he prefers Seidelman's production.
MacDermot, however, prefers Marshall's version.
"I liked the cast here," he told The Post yesterday. "They were young. There were some singers [in Los Angeles] I loved, but they were quite a bit older. I think the charm of the show here was its youthful energy."
In the Encores! version, the band was on-stage, with MacDermot at the piano.
"That's probably why I liked it the best," he conceded yesterday.
Shuttling between MacDermot and Rado is Barry Weissler, the producer of "Chicago" and "Annie Get Your Gun," who is trying to secure the rights to "Hair."
He did not return a call yesterday, but sources say he hopes to bring Rado and MacDermot together by creating a hybrid version of the two productions.
One scenario being spun out yesterday: Seidelman's production comes to New York, but recast with younger actors, including some who appeared in Marshall's production.
In the meantime, Weissler is planning to re-open Seidelman's "Hair" in Los Angeles.
"I'm on my way to check out a theater," Seidelman said yesterday. "Ours is a fully mounted production, not a reading or a concert version. It is faithful to the spirit of 'Hair,' it's politically connected and, I hope, sexually liberating. I'd love to see it in New York."

So glad that you have all come for a visit. I have been steadily been busy doing some small projects around my little nest. I have really enjoyed decorating with shutters, doors, and windows. Especially those that have a great chippy patina.
If I can't find the patina that I love on these items then I create it myself, and this is just what I did with these shutters that I showed you in a post a while back.
Here is a before picture of the two shutters that I created a new patina on.
Here is the after pictures. I couldn't have ask for a better crackle and chippy look.
Here is the other side of the wall vignette.
I had a shelf that my son Nathan built for me many moons ago and it was perfect to go on top of my vintage screen that is lined with a lace curtain.
I have not liked anything that I have put up on this wall for the past 2 1/2 years and I finally feel like I have finally got it like I want , other than I am looking for a new picture to go into the antique frame. I have an idea of what I am going to do with it so I'll be showing you that soon.
A picture with the entire wall.
A couple of terracotta angels that I painted white top off the vintage books. I love using old architecture as well, see the white book ends on each side.
A Joey flower with angel wings, sticks and pine cones add to the effect for texture.
Here is a sweet vignette that I made up with a Roman bust, antique alter candle stick, a little burlap and basket of flowers on a chippy old chest. (I get the candle stick holder in 2 weeks)!!!!!
I had two large white shutters that I used on each side of my primitive cupboard. It seems to finish off the wall.
Well that's it for now. I hope that you all enjoy a lovely summer weekend where ever you are in this beautiful world. We are celebrating Pioneer Day in Utah on the 24th, so that should be fun. Until next time.

In Sydney, 'tis the season of the end of year group exhibition. Most galleries, from the sleekest commercial space to the smallest ARI, seem to understand that at this time of year Sydney-siders are on a mission to shop 'till they drop. Art may not be Santa's number one choice stocking-stuffer, but a group show at least offers the sales pitch possibility of "something for everyone."
Launching a solo exhibition while the silly season is in full swing is a bold move, but Flinders Street Gallery have done just that. And not only have they ditched the traditional group smorgasbord, they've served up Wade Owen's Down, a dark and brooding mix of inky drawings that aren't likely to ever grace a greeting card or chocolate box.
Owen's expressive drawings seem to probe the dark heart of the collective unconsciousness. It may be the season of 'goodwill towards men' and 'peace on earth', but Owen seems to know that humanity is much more prone to seizing territory and lusting after power than turning the other cheek.
In Hard Power, a soldier cradles a child, bundled and bleeding. Is he a peacekeeper or perpetrator? It probably varies from day to day. In The Strong Lead the Weak, another soldier, this time in colonial costume, seems to have harnessed a mutant creature, but it's not clear who is in charge. In Conduit, a young man clutches two human skulls and channels his inner demons.
If you've over-dosed on the saccharine sweet sentiments of the season, Owen's bleak, perceptive and powerful drawings provide a refreshing antidote. Cheers!
Wade Owen: Down is on at Flinders Street Gallery until December 23 and reopens January 26-29.

(1) Take $1,000,000 usd in cash.
(2) Roam, trawl, read, learn, decide....over 2 years or less. Rush a little.
(3) When about ready to take a few days off work. Buy a GOOD business class trip return.
Hmmm..Singapore or Hong Kong or Taiwan are good. If english is the language of thought, Singapore is first choice.
Although the economy is bad all over the damned world, used watches, of any good value, is still EXPENSIVE, and will remain so, if they are of a certain caliber of worthiness...as in ability to exude both beauty, curiosity, charm, intrique and retain value.
Hence $1,000,000 maybe/could be needed.
(4) Spend easily the first $500,000 on watches or even ONE watch.
(5) Go home, before you feel as if you may kill yourself (or your wife would).
(6) Mull over, beard scratching, contemplate the foolishness or wisdom of your totally irrational deeds, especially if you had great need for that money you spent.
(7) NOW..you are wiser. You have even trawled the net all over again.
Repeat all the steps 1 to 4, but with $500,000.
(8) you return home. Man..that was TOTALLY irresponsible, but you would have learnt so much about EVERYTHING, that they never teach/taught you in school.
Life is and can be INCREDIBLY enjoyable....MUCH better than just working and saving for mediocrity!
Apply this same algorythm for many other pursuits.
This formula will always deliver consistent results!
(1) Questions on life.
(2) What one can achieve without harm (physically)
(3) You will have some really serious museum level pieces of art, that are qite hardy and maintenance free.
See below:
Oh...I forgot.
So ONE EXTRA watch, so you won't scratch or scuff those babies!!! At least not too often.
And choosing THIS one...no one will guess what ELSE you bought!
Buy one, just ONE kick ass mother of a watch, something like that bloody SEIKO Galante sbla 065 that I had been going on and on about.
It kicks the ass of quite a few Panerais right out of the ocean, or rather...back into the ocean.
Just kidding...but a mother of a TOUGH watch with a HEAVY shit of a price tag is what you WANT.
BUT...with a brand that NOT one will guess even $7,000 within range!!!! Something like a SEIKO, often mistaken for a few hundred bucks!!!!
This one is, take my word, EXTREMELY UGLY, and it is this extreme, and that its FIRST reaction would be VERY negative....that gives it its FIRE.
OK..I really am getting to like this darn watch after a week!!!
I have had enormous fun NOT telling people the REAL $7,000 price tag. That's stealth, if you want to really experience it. AND furher more, it is worth more than that...for a limited 62 pieces!!! All hand assembled with an unimaginable attention that it merits physchological examination....of the people who can do it.
I had the fortune of visiting it..nothing to hide...no out of bounds places.
The work..the polish...the cut...the weght is 278 gm and not 243 gm, making it HEAVIER than an Opus V.
These words are spoken not as a "reviewer", but as an owner of BOTH.
