NYPL Staff Pick
The Isle of Lewis in the Scottish Hebrides is not the kind of setting one might associate with a series of murder investigations. Unfortunately, that's precisely what Detective Fin Macleod finds himself immersed in. The brooding setting and Gaelic language touches don't prevent "The Blackhouse" from being a thrilling read.
- Jenny Baum, Jefferson Market
Lots of atmosphere and a great story. I would recommend this for sure.
1st in series
When he started university, Detective Fin Macleod had been relieved to leave the small, isolated community on the Isle of Lewis where he grew up. However, when he is called back there to investigate a murder similar to one he is handling in Edinburgh, he is welcomed by most of his old school friends and feels himself drawn back into that world of half-forgotten memories. Involved again, against his will, in the annual ritual of the barbaric guga hunt, he is forced to face the effects of dark secrets that lie hidden in the community.
I enjoyed this novel very much. Great atmospheric and accurate descriptions. Unlike another reviewer I had no problem with the angst-filled detective or his personal baggage. However, if I lived on Lewis I'd stay away from bad luck Fin: many tragic things seem to happen to those close to him. I felt that huge back story not only furthered the mystery but will be needed for the rest of the trilogy May has written.
NYPL, where is the second book ,The Lewis Man?
This novel is outstanding. Top-notch mystery, intriguing setting and fascinating back story. Good writing too. A+A+A+
I only read 1/3 of this book. I am really quite tired of detectives filled with angst and hauling personal baggage. Sure, it can be hard to go back home, but just solve the mystery.

Natural Remedies for Gallbladder describes the gallbladder is connected to the liver by the hepatic duct. This pear-shaped organ is small, approximately 3 to 4 inches and about 1 inch wide.
It acts as a storage facility for liver bile, which helps to digest food. Bile contains cholesterol, bile salts, lecithin, and other substances.
The primary function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile. Bile is secreted by the liver and is the main substance responsible for breaking down of fat in the digestive system.
Created to support you in a 7 day Home Detox.
Bile flows from the gallbladder into the cystic duct along the common bile duct and through to the part of the part of the small intestine known as the duodenum.
The gallbladder is situated towards the upper right side of the abdomen just beneath the liver.
The gallbladder is susceptible to some common disorders, the most prevalent being gallstones, cholecystitis, and gallbladder cancer.
Natural Remedies for Gallbladder are safe to use regularly without the harmful side effects of conventional medicine.

It's a good bet that in the not-so-distant future aerial drones will be part of Americans' everyday lives, performing countless useful functions.
A far cry from the killing machines whose missiles incinerate terrorists, these generally small, unmanned aircraft will help farmers more precisely apply water and pesticides to crops, saving money and reducing environmental impacts. They'll help police departments find missing people, reconstruct traffic accidents and act as lookouts for SWAT teams. They'll alert authorities to people stranded on rooftops by hurricanes and monitor evacuation flows.
Real estate agents will use them to film videos of properties and surrounding neighborhoods. States will use them to inspect bridges, roads and dams. Oil companies will use them to monitor pipelines, while power companies use them to monitor transmission lines.
With military budgets shrinking, drone makers have been counting on the civilian market to spur the industry's growth. But there's an ironic threat to that hope: Success on the battlefield may contain the seeds of trouble for the more benign uses of drones at home.
The civilian unmanned aircraft industry worries that it will be grounded before it can really take off because of fear among the public that the technology will be misused. Also problematic is a delay in the issuance of government safety regulations that are needed before drones can gain broad access to U.S. skies.
Some companies that make drones or supply support equipment and services say the uncertainty has caused them to put U.S. expansion plans on hold, and they are looking overseas for new markets.
"Our lack of success in educating the public about unmanned aircraft is coming back to bite us," said Robert Fitzgerald, CEO of The BOSH Group of Newport News, Va., which provides support services to drone users.
"The U.S. has been at the lead of this technology a long time," he said. "If our government holds back this technology, there's the freedom to move elsewhere … and all of a sudden these things will be flying everywhere else and competing with us."
Since January, drone-related legislation has been introduced in more than 30 states, largely in response to privacy concerns. Many of the bills are focused on preventing police from using drones for broad public surveillance, as well as targeting individuals for surveillance without sufficient grounds to believe they were involved in crimes.
Law enforcement is expected to be one of the bigger initial markets for civilian drones. Last month, the FBI used drones to maintain continuous surveillance of a bunker in Alabama where a 5-year-old boy was being held hostage.
In Virginia, the state General Assembly passed a bill that would place a two-year moratorium on the use of drones by state and local law enforcement. The bill must still be signed by Gov. Bob McDonnell, a Republican. The measure is supported by groups as varied as the American Civil Liberties Union on the left and the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation on the right.
"Any legislation that restricts the use of this kind of capability to serve the public is putting the public at risk," said Steve Gitlin, vice president of AeroVironment, a leading maker of smaller drones, including some no bigger than a hummingbird
Seattle abandoned its drone program after community protests in February. The city's police department had purchased two drones through a federal grant without consulting the city council.
Drones "clearly have so much potential for saving lives, and it's a darn shame we're having to go through this right now," said Stephen Ingley, executive director of the Airborne Law Enforcement Association. "It's frustrating."
In some states economic concerns have trumped public unease. In Oklahoma, an anti-drone bill was shelved at the request of Republican Gov. Mary Fallin, who was concerned it might hinder growth of the state's drone industry. The North Dakota state Senate killed a drone bill in part because of concern that it might impede the state's chances of being selected by the Federal Aviation Administration as one of six national drone test sites, which could generate local jobs.
A bill that would have limited the ability of state and local governments to use drones died in the Washington legislature. The measure was opposed by The Boeing Co., which employs more than 80,000 workers in the state and which has a subsidiary, Insitu, that's a leading military drone manufacturer.
Although the Supreme Court has not dealt directly with drones, it has OK'd aerial surveillance without warrants in drug cases in which officers in a plane or helicopter spotted marijuana plants growing on a suspect's property. But in a case involving the use of ground-based equipment, the court said police generally need a warrant before using a thermal imaging device to detect hot spots in a home that might indicate that marijuana plants are being grown there.
In Congress, Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., co-chairman of the House's privacy caucus, has introduced a bill that prohibits the Federal Aviation Administration from issuing drone licenses unless the applicant provides a statement explaining who will operate the drone, where it will be flown, what kind of data will be collected, how the data will be used, whether the information will be sold to third parties and the period for which the information will be retained.
Sentiment for curbing domestic drone use has brought the left and right together perhaps more than any other recent issue. "The thought of government drones buzzing overhead and constantly monitoring the activities of law-abiding citizens runs contrary to the notion of what it means to live in a free society," Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said at a recent hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Privacy advocates acknowledge the many good uses of drones. In Mesa County, Colo., for example, an annual landfill survey using manned aircraft cost about $10,000. The county recently performed the same survey using a drone for about $200.
But drones' virtues can also make them dangerous, they say. Their low cost and ease of use may encourage police and others to conduct the kind of continuous or intrusive surveillance that might otherwise be impractical. Drones can be equipped with high-powered cameras and listening devices, and infrared cameras that can see people in the dark.
"High-rise buildings, security fences or even the walls of a building are not barriers to increasingly common drone technology," Amie Stepanovich, director of the Electronic Privacy Information Council's surveillance project, told the Senate panel.
Civilian drone use is limited to government agencies and public universities that have received a few hundred permits from the FAA. A law passed by Congress last year requires the FAA to open U.S. skies to widespread drone flights by 2015, but the agency is behind schedule and it's doubtful it will meet that deadline. Lawmakers and industry officials have complained for years about the FAA's slow progress.
The FAA estimates that within five years of gaining broader access about 7,500 civilian drones will be in use.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., recently drew attention to the domestic use of drones when he staged a Senate filibuster, demanding to know whether the president has authority to use weaponized drones to kill Americans on American soil. The White House said no, if the person isn't engaged in combat. But industry officials worry that the episode could temporarily set back civilian drone use.
"The opposition has become very loud," said Gitlin of AeroVironment, "but we are confident that over time the benefits of these solutions (drones) are going to far outweigh the concerns, and they'll become part of normal life in the future."

If I was in the U.S. military I would be concerned about my job and future of the military as we know it. Boots on the ground could be replaced by targeted assassination. This is the real purpose of the excessive use of drones. It's about the use of robots and replaceing manpower. Scary stuff ? You bet. Do not be mislead for a second, by all this fluff in the above story. It's just print.
It's not the drones that the public fear, but the misuse of such tech by corrupt politicians and over the top law enforcement with less than sterling intentions; I.E., death from above.
The FAA recently refused to authorize weaponized drones for law enforcement purposes in the U.S., but rest assured both the companies that produce them and their political allies are always probing the perimeter in terms of getting authorization for such deployment.
Orwell was spot-on in projecting the future, total surveillance state. Britain is much further along this path than the U.S. with surveillance cameras everywhere including some homes if mandated by the court for such. I'm assuming they are deploying drones over their civilian populace too with similar vigor.

DevFest 2014 (by ADI) has already ended, but I just wanted to post the t-shirt design!
Originally, I was planning on just throwing on the DevFest logo and call it a day, but that seemed a little boring to me, so I came up with this fun twist. We opted for the indigo shirt (sorry, no plum!) from Next Level Apparel and they turned out really well! It's always fun seeing people wearing them around campus—I think I see at least one every day!
Tool: Adobe Illustrator
ADI (Application Development Initiative) is hosting their annual Devfest at Columbia!
Here are the initial logo designs and after much discussion, members of the ADI committee decided on the logo shown in the first image. I had a lot of fun designing these logos despite the short time frame. Ultimately we wanted something that could be used in future years as well.
Tools: Illustrator and Photoshop
And what is Devfest?! A week of workshops, hacking, demos, and food (free)! Hackers of all levels are welcome to participate and learn! The week starts with the kick-off Saturday, February 1st, 12-2pm in the Davis Auditorium!
Register for Devfest 2014 now!Stay up to date via the Facebook Event!
See you there! (I'll be taking pictures throughout the week!) :)
Selection of graphics created for NexRep website, built by Daron and I!
I really enjoyed creating these! I wanted to go for clean and professional with some fun and playfulness. The clients were very pleased with the results and they really bring the information-heavy pages to life.
A friend of mine asked me to design a logo for a banner for his Google team, Green Parrot Pictures. The team was actually a company that Google purchased in 2011 which was brought on for enhancing the quality of video content and now the group works with mostly YouTube video processing.I started with the idea of combining the parrot with a play button and wanted something clean, mature, and interesting. I ended up with these three versions and my friend ended up choosing the 2nd one!
Designing this logo was a really great experience. It's been a while since I've done a logo—it was nice to be able to have a clear, interesting concept in mind and explore what I could do with it. I really had a lot of fun with this one and I'm really pleased with the results.
Columbia Wushu (Chinese Martial Arts) Jacket design!
Really pleased with how these turned out! In comparison to Wushu Teams from other schools, we definitely have the most… flashy/obnoxious/striking jacket. Everyone else tends to keep their logos small and simple. But I'm always one for being out standing… go big or go home. Now everybody knows Columbia has a Wushu team!
We ordered from gtmsportswear.com. They were really friendly and attentive! We needed to rush the order in order to have them in time for a competition, and they were really helpful and didn't charge us extra!
Logo concept.
Tools: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Finally happy with the design of my website, enough to officially publicize it!
It's also (finally) up to date with my recent work—a lot of new photography and design. Check it out!
FAQWhy do you have a hyphen in your url?Because ohhodesign.com was taken and I sadly could not get in contact the owner.
Official Program design for ECAASU 2013 at Columbia University!
This program is without a doubt the largest print job I have ever done. (It literally consumed my life!) The program totals 40 pages in full color and covers every aspect of the action-packed 2 day conference. With a multitude of performers, 45+ workshops, 90+ workshop facilitators, numerous in-kind donors and sponsors (some of which were still in the process of confirming), a variety of individualized events, and more, putting this program together not only proved to be challenging in terms of design, but also a logistical nightmare. I put together the program in a little over a week and thankfully my conference board team was very cooperative throughout the process.
All in all, making this intense program was definitely very fruitful for me! And I'm now 100% comfortable with InDesign. Just goes to show, if you want to learn design guys, just get into it!
Check out the full program here: http://www.ecaasu2013.org/program.pdf.
Tools: Adobe Photostop CS5 and InDesign CS5
Official Conference Badges for ECAASU 2013 at Columbia University!
8 different color schemes total. It was just a quick, fun design I threw together in a time crunch. We wanted a way to be able to immediately differentiate between different types of conference participants—which in turn also streamlined the check-in process. We used Data Merge in Adobe InDesign to merge in the data for 1600+ badges.
Tool: Adobe Photoshop CS5
Friends of ECAASU Gala tickets for the ECAASU 2013 Conference!
Something I threw together rather quickly. The tickets are actually smaller than I had imagined — they're 1.5" x 4". They were quite adorable! The gala itself turned out really well! You can see pictures from the conference on our Facebook page.Tool: Photoshop CS5

Revered as a martyr of the Khalsa, ashes of Banda Bahadur along with an arrow given to him by Guru Gobind Singh are preserved in the gurudwara. The annual three-day mela held in April is very popular.
Kol Kandholi: It is believed to be the first darshan of Vaishno Devi and a must on the itinerary of every pilgrim. According to legend, Mata Vaishno Devi stayed here as a child. The goddess as a child gave a bowl to quench the thirst of her playmates. The well created by the goddess' miracle never runs dry. Kol Kandholoi is in Nagarota village on the Jammu-Katra road.
Baba Dhansar Temple: The temple in Karua village, 15 km from Katra is famous for natural shivling. The annual mela held during Shivrartri is also popular.

It's time to get serious about the moral questions resulting from our new class of weapons.
In the last week or so, cyberwarfare has made front-page news: the United States may have been behind the Stuxnet cyberattack on Iran; Iran may have suffered another digital attack with the Flame virus; and our military and industrial computer chips may or may not be compromised by backdoor switches implanted by China. These revelations suggest that the way we fight wars is changing, and so are the rules.
This digital evolution means that it is now less clear what kind of events should reasonably trigger a war, as well as how and when new technologies may be used. With cyberweapons, a war theoretically could be waged without casualties or political risk, so their attractiveness is great -- maybe so irresistible that nations are tempted to use them before such aggression is justified. This essay identifies some important ethical issues that have been upturned by these emerging digital weapons, which in turn help explain why national cyberdefense is such a difficult policy area.
Why Worry?
How we justify and prosecute a war matters. For instance, the last U.S. presidency proposed a doctrine of preventive or preemptive war, known as the "Bush doctrine," which asked, if a nation knows it will be attacked, why wait for the damage to be done before it retaliates? But this policy breaks from the just-war tradition, which historically gives moral permission for a nation to enter war only in self-defense. This tradition says that waging war -- a terrible evil that is to be avoided when possible -- requires a nation to have the righteous reason of protecting itself from further unprovoked attacks.
With the Bush doctrine, the U.S. seeks to expand the triggers for war -- and this could backfire spectacularly. For instance, Iran reports contemplating a preemptive attack on the U.S. and Israel, because it believes that one or both will attack Iran first. Because intentions between nations are easy to misread, especially between radically different cultures and during an election year, it could very well be that the U.S. and Israel are merely posturing as a gambit to pressure Iran to open its nuclear program to international inspection. However, if Iran were to attack first, it would seem hypocritical for the U.S .to complain, since the U.S. already endorsed the same policy of first strike.
A big problem with a first-strike policy is that there are few scenarios in which we can confidently and accurately say that an attack is imminent. Many threats or bluffs that were never intended to escalate into armed conflict can be mistaken as "imminent" attacks. This epistemic gap in the Bush doctrine introduces a potentially catastrophic risk: The nation delivering a preemptive or preventative first strike may turn out to be the unjustified aggressor and not the would-be victim, if the adversary really was not going to attack first.
Further, by not saving war as a last resort -- after all negotiations have failed and after an actual attack, a clear act of war -- the Bush doctrine opens the possibility that the U.S. (and any other nation that adopts such a policy) may become ensnared in avoidable wars. At the least, this would cause harm that otherwise might not have occurred to the warring parties, and it may set up an overly stretched military for failure, if battles are not chosen more wisely.
What does this have to do with cyberwarfare? Our world is increasingly wired, with new online channels for communication and services interwoven into our lives virtually every day. This also means new channels for warfare. Indeed, a target in cyberspace is more appealing than conventional physical targets, since the aggressor would not need to incur the expense and risk of transporting equipment and deploying troops across borders into enemy territory, not to mention the political risk of casualties. Cyberweapons could be used to attack anonymously at a distance while still causing much mayhem, on targets ranging from banks to media to military organizations. Thus, cyberweapons would seem to be an excellent choice for an unprovoked surprise strike.
Today, many nations have the capability to strike in cyberspace -- but should they? International humanitarian laws, or the "laws of war", were not written with cyberspace in mind. So we face a large policy gap, which organizations internationally have tried to address in recent years, such as the U.S. National Research Council. But there is also a gap in developing the ethics behind policies. We describe below some key issues related to ethics that need attention.
1. Aggression
By the laws of war, there is historically only one "just cause" for war: a defense to aggression, as previously mentioned. But since aggression is usually understood to mean that human lives are directly in jeopardy, it becomes difficult to justify military response to a cyberattack that does not cause kinetic or physical harm as in a conventional or Clausewitzian sense, such as the disruption of a computer system or infrastructure that directly kills no one. Further, in cyberspace, it may be difficult to distinguish an attack from espionage or vandalism, neither of which historically is enough to trigger a military response. For instance, a clever cyberattack can be subtle and hard to distinguish from routine breakdowns and malfunctions.
If aggression in cyberspace is not tied to actual physical harm or threat to lives, it is unclear then how we should understand it.
If aggression in cyberspace is not tied to actual physical harm or threat to lives, it is unclear then how we should understand it. Does it count as aggression when malicious software has been installed on a computer system that an adversary believes will be triggered? Or maybe the very act of installing malicious software is an attack itself, much like installing a landmine? What about unsuccessful attempts to install malicious software? Do these count as war-triggering aggression -- or mere crimes, which do not fall under the laws of war? Traditional military ethics would answer all these questions negatively, but in the debate over the legitimacy of preemptive and preventative war, the answers are more complex and elusive.
Relatedly, insofar as most cyberattacks do not directly target lives, are they as serious as conventional attacks? Organized cybervandalism could be serious if it prevents a society from meeting basic human needs like providing food. A lesser but still serious case was the denial-of-service cyberattacks on media-infrastructure websites in the country of Georgia in 2008, which prevented the government from communicating with its citizens.
2. Discrimination
The laws of war prohibit the targeting of noncombatants, since they do not pose a military threat. Most theorists accept a "double effect" in which some noncombatants could be unintentionally harmed, i.e., collateral damage, in pursuing important military objectives, though other scholars defend more stringent requirements and greater protections for noncombatants. Some challenge whether noncombatant immunity is really a preeminent value, but the issue undoubtedly has taken center stage in just-war theory and therefore the laws of war.
It is unclear how discriminatory cyberwarfare can be. If victims use fixed Internet addresses for their key infrastructure systems, and these could be found by an adversary, then they could be targeted precisely. However, victims are unlikely to be so cooperative. Therefore, effective cyberattacks need to search for targets and spread the attack, but as with biological viruses, this creates the risk of spreading to noncombatants: while noncombatants might not be targeted, there are also no safeguards to help avoid them. The Stuxnet worm in 2010 was intended to target Iranian nuclear processing facilities, but it spread far beyond intended targets. Although its damage was highly constrained, its quick, broad infection through vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows operating system was noticed and required upgrades to antivirus software worldwide, incurring a cost to nearly everyone. The worm also inspired clever ideas for new exploits currently being used, another cost to everyone. Arguably, then, Stuxnet did incur some collateral damage.

Ice Cream Troubleshooting
My ice cream is so hard!
First, keep it in the front of your freezer! If you have a ledge in the door, that's best.
Next: alcohol! It solves your problems and it works for ice cream, too. A tablespoon or two of vodka will help your ice cream resist getting too frozen without affecting the flavor.
Lastly, try using more cream and less milk. Fat doesn't freeze in the same way all of the water in milk does, so it might give you a little bit of a nicer texture while you're at it.
My KitchenAid mixer attachment overflows when I use recipes from the book, what's happening?
Yeah, they'll do that! What's happening is that air is being beaten into the mix (that's called "overrun"), and it isn't freezing before it starts overflowing.
I'm not sure if they don't freeze ice cream as quickly as other machines or if the bowls just isn't big enough, but your best solution is to just make smaller batches. You can also move into making things like frozen yogurt - I've heard it's nice and thick enough that it doesn't expand as much.
Where do you get containers from?
Check out this post.
I don't have an ice cream machine, but I still want to make ice cream!
There are a lot of ways to make faux ice cream, but I think the best is to skip on over to the excellent world of kulfi, an ice cream-y dessert that's popular in South Asia and the Middle East. Check out this post where we made some flavored with rosewater and pistachios.
Anything else?

Since the legal drinking age in most states was bumped to 21, it's not uncommon for teens to ask the adults they know (other than their parents, mind you) to buy booze for them, especially on special occasions like a dance or prom. So, who could blame the players at Pomperaug High School for asking their coach for some assistance? The fact that she agreed is what makes this a story (actually the fact that she got caught), but what's really interesting is that–according to police–the story doesn't end with that one incident. Authorities day that Jennifer Jackson also let some teens drink out of a coffee cup that the kids said contained something known as "bubble gum vodka" while she was supposed to be a chaperon at a dance. If that's true, we're not sure Coach Jackson really understands the role of chaperon is at these types of events.
Pomperaug High School basketball coach Jennifer Jackson, charged earlier this month by town police for allegedly procuring alcohol for two team members, now faces additional charges because she allegedly supplied drinks to several students at a school dance in Watertown. The 32-year-old mathematics teacher was charged with second-degree reckless endangerment and delivery of alcohol to a minor as a result of an investigation by Watertown police that stemmed from the original arrest. Southbury police said Jackson, who also coaches girls volleyball at the high school, supplied two bottles of vodka to two team members who were planning to attend a semi-formal dance for seniors held Feb. 6 in Watertown. The players told police that the liquor changed hands on a cul-de-sac in Watertown. Jackson also attended the dance and allowed several students to drink out of a coffee cup that the students said contained "bubble gum vodka," according to Watertown police.

Brian Wilson has added another special guest to his October 20 concert at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre with his Beach Boys band mates Al Jardine and David Marks . Guitar legend Jeff Beck has now joined the bill. The news comes on the heels of the announcement that Beck, along with Jardine and Marks, will appear on Wilson's next studio album.
Beck is expected to hit the stage with Wilson, Jardine and Marks to perform a number of his favorite Beach Boys songs, and he also will play a new tune on which he and Wilson collaborated. In addition, Jeff and his own backing band will deliver a separate set of music.
"Jeff is one of the most amazing guitarists I've ever worked with and his vibe is inspiring," says Wilson in a statement. "In fact I think we should do an album together!"
Regarding the show, Brian adds, "I feel like this is a cool continuation of what we did last year with the exciting addition of Jeff Beck. We've got some new tunes we want to try out on a live crowd as well as doing some great music from our catalogues."
Besides the Greek Theatre concert, Wilson also has six July shows with Jardine and Marks on his tour schedule. Check out his complete itinerary at BrianWilson.com .

The words hostel and hotel are both derived from the Old French word ostel, meaning "inn," but both are originally rooted in the Latin hospes, meaning "guest" (as are hospital and hospice). Today the common term is youth hostel, referring to supervised, dormitory-like shelters that provide inexpensive overnight accommodations for traveling young people. Many serve meals as well, or they have kitchens in which guests can prepare their own meals.

Somehow June has slipped past when I wasn't paying attention and it's now July. The hundred miles a month were hard to fit in again this month, what with interviews and changes to my hours. The sultry, humid weather didn't help much either. When I set myself this challenge, back in January, I was unemployed and fitting in the miles was a simple matter, working full time has made it less so and, as I added the miles for week three, I realised I was going to have to get my finger out. Or my walking shoes on.
Week 1 18.91 miles
In week one I didn't exactly burn up the miles but at least I was finally out of Essex. The end of the week found me in Ipswich, approaching the village of Pin Mill on the banks of the River Orwell. The most famous thing about Pin Mill seems to be its seventeenth century pub, the Butt & Oyster and the beautiful views of the Orwell estuary. The village and the pub were once involved in the smuggling that was rife along this coast.
These days it seems to be mostly about sailing. Pin Mill was once a landing point for cargo ships and Thames barges were repaired there. During World War II it was home to the Royal Navy Motor Launches and many of the landing craft involved in D-Day originated there. The foreshore is dotted with houseboats and it is a popular yachting destination.
Most interesting to me, there are lots of signposted walks to get lost on.
Week 2 29.06 miles
After a very poor start to my June miles I set to and caught up some ground in week two. This was mostly down to the June, Walking Is Exercise Too! walk, and the bit extra I added when I realised I'd messed up on my miles. Well, that and good weather all week for walking to and from work.
The week's miles took me across the River Orwell on the Orwell Bridge just east of Ipswich, through Bridge Wood and another mile along the coast towards Levington. The wood is, apparently, filled with bluebells, although I think they might be over by now. It's ancient woodland, managed since at least 1600, with old oak trees that have stood for hundreds of years. There are excellent footpaths which give access to spectacular landslides leading down onto the shore.
Levington, my next port of call, has some nice circular walks and a boardwalk across the marsh and reeds on reclaimed land through woods filled with roe deer. Sounds idyllic. Apparently a Viking ship was once found in Levington creek, most probably part of a fleet of Danish ships which invaded in 991. What became of it I don't know.
Week 3 21.27 miles
What with interviews and shed troubles the miles were not as high as I'd have liked this week. Still I made it back to the sea at the mouth of the River Orwell before sneakily crossing the little River Deben to Bawdsey by ferry at Felixstowe. My walk along the coast took me to the village of Hollesley on the Bawdsey peninsular. The tiny village has a population of less than fifteen hundred but does have a prison, Hollesley Bay Prison.
Luckily I didn't get to visit the prison, even virtually. Having said that, it was in the news this week. It's an open prison and one of the inmates was caught with some unusual contraband. Not drugs or arms, but a pet rabbit which he found while working outside the prison. The prisoner was told off and his erstwhile pet confiscated and sent to a rescue centre. I actually feel a little sorry for the poor man.
My walk ended at the mouth of the River Ore overlooking the marshes.
Week 4 & 5 30.79
Week four took me within two days of the end of the month so I have lumped together the miles for those last nine days, making my weekly total look rather good, even if I do say so myself. Yet again, by the skin of my teeth, I managed to make the hundred, ending the month with 100.03 miles, talk about cutting it fine!
The walk took me on a little detour inland up the Buntley River and back down the other side. I walked alongs the Rivers Ore and Alde, not knowing which was which as they are actually one stretch of water with no obvious divide. Oddly, the rivers run parallel to the coast, separated from the sea only by a thin finger of shingle spit called Orford Ness that is almost uninhabited.
The River Alde does, eventually run inland for a while and, with no ferry, I followed until I found a bridge then came back along the opposite bank. My walk ended on the edge of fields outside Aldeburgh. I'm looking forward to the blue flag shingle beach, if only virtually, and the fisherman's huts. There is an annual festival of arts, created in 1948 by composer Benjamin Britten but I think I may have missed that already.
The name Aldeburgh means old fort but the original Tudor town, along with the fort have been lost to the sea. There is another of those Napoleonic Martello Towers though and one of the best fish and chip shops in the UK. Maybe I'd best sidle past that with my eyes closed.
In the sixteenth century Aldeburgh had a thriving ship building industry and Sir Francis Drake's ship Golden Hind was built there. Silt put paid to ship building though and the town is now a fishing village and popular seaside resort,
So that was June. With three day weekends ahead I'm hoping to make a better job of the July miles. Wonder if I'll make it to Norfolk.

The Cubs are talking to the Marlins about Giancarlo Stanton. It makes sense that they would look into it, given
The Cubs are talking to the Marlins about Giancarlo Stanton. It makes sense that they would look into it, given
Miami's move to streamline the payroll and Stanton's unhappiness about the direction of the club. The Cubs have plenty of future payroll flexibility, and Stanton would give them a No. 3 hitter to build around. They would almost certainly have to give up Starlin Castro in a Stanton trade. His club-friendly contract (seven years, $60-million, plus an option for 2020) would appeal to the Marlins. The Cubs could justify dealing Castro because of the shortstops they have in their system. They probably will only have to wait two years for Javier Baez and could give Junior Lake a look in the interim. They could also acquire Yunel Escobar in the deal as a placeholder or move Gold Glove winner Darwin Barney to shortstop, with Logan Watkins in the group to replace Barney. There are a lot of possibilities. The question is whether they have enough other pieces to get the Marlins' attention, as Stanton is drawing a crowd. According to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, the Phillies, Orioles, Yankees and Red Sox are also trying to see if Miami will deal Stanton. But Castro-for-Stanton is a conversation starter, for sure. There are few more attractive young stars that could be included in a deal than Stanton. The Orioles' Adam Jones is the only other comparable piece on the other teams expressing interest, and his long-term deal (6-year, $85.5 million) includes no-trade protection. Castro's deal does not. This is a very interesting situation.

An Attala County man was airlifted to a hospital after emergency officials used the Jaws of Life to rescue him from his pickup truck after he struck a tree Sunday.
The accident happened just after 12 p.m. on Highway 19 South, approximately a mile from the Highway 14 intersection.
A Ford pickup truck, with Attala County plates, sustained major damage to the driver's side after hitting a tree.
This video is courtesy of KOSYonline.com.
First responders said the male driver was unresponsive and trapped inside the pick up truck.
Rescue personnel used the Jaws of Life to extricate the driver.
A chainsaw was also used to cut a tree away from the driver's side so medics could gain access to the driver.
A medical helicopter landed at the scene within minutes after the accident and airlifted the driver to the University Medical Center with serious injuries. The full extent of his injuries are unknown at this time.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash.

Police believe a team of armed robbers has been targeting Asian restaurant owners across Gwinnett and elsewhere for months, tracking their movements and making out with thousands of dollars in cash during late-night heists.
Two arrests have now been made — including one man charged years ago in a similar spree.
Gwinnett County police said Wednesday that Darnell Rice, 39, and Felix Pierson, 40, had been arrested in Orange County, Fla., on charges there, in Cobb County and in Gwinnett. Authorities believe the men are responsible for a five-month spree of well-planned, sometimes violent robberies against females they believed to be restaurant owners.
Eight Gwinnett robberies targeted representatives from Asian restaurants across the county — Dacula, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Norcross and Snellville — and the details differ slightly. The primary M.O., though, is similar for each crime.
"The suspects would gather intelligence and conduct surveillance on their intended targets," Gwinnett County police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said. "They would wait for a victim to close her business for the night and then follow her home. On the night of a robbery the suspects would lie in wait near the driveway of the target's home."
The men would then take the victim's purse, using a handgun and physical force if necessary, police said. The target? Large amounts of cash, the restaurant's take for that day or several days prior.
Local incidents reported to authorities netted Rice and Pierson at least $56,000, according to incident reports. Some of those crimes:
— The most recent incident reported in Gwinnett took place on Aug. 17. Late that night, the owners of Dacula's Sun Garden restaurant returned to their Duluth home and began walking inside when the female co-owner, 37, realized a light was left on in the car.
As she walked back outside, two black males grabbed her purse — which had about $1,000 cash inside — and fled behind a neighbor's house. Police later discovered the house had been ransacked, with closets and drawers emptied and mattresses flipped. Approximately $300 was taken from a child's bank.
TVs, iPads and laptops inside were not taken.
— On July 25, the owners of China One in Lawrenceville returned to their Norcross home and backed into the driveway. They were met with two black males standing outside a silver passenger car one house down. A third male sat behind the wheel.
"(The female victim) said one of the males stuck their gun to her chest and grabbed her purse while the other male pushed her," an incident report said. About $3,000 cash was taken.
The male victim had noticed a vehicle similar to their assailants' circling the neighborhood on previous nights.
— On June 25, the owners of Norcross' China Garden came home to their Duluth residence.
"Two black males wearing hooded sweatshirts came out from behind a tree in the front of their house," a police report said, "(and) one of the males came up to (the female victim) and forced her to the ground telling her to give up her purse … The second male pointed a black gun toward (the victim) and finally she surrendered her purse."
The victim's Coach purse had about $17,000 cash inside.
— On April 22, in what is believed to be the first robbery and attack, the owners of Hibachi Grill on Jimmy Carter Boulevard were greeted at their Norcross front porch by "four to five black males" wearing all black. One pointed a gun at the couple.
The female victim fled on foot but was chased and pushed to the ground.
"The victim stated she was punched several times in the face and head," police said. "The victim said one of the black males had ripped her purse (off) her shoulder and at that point the black males had ran away."
A total of $21,000 was stolen.
Late in September, Gwinnett County police detectives reportedly learned that Rice and Pierson were likely planning a similar robbery in Orange County, Fla. They traveled south to work with authorities there.
"Working together, detectives took Rice and Pierson into custody before they could complete the robbery," Smith said. "Upon searching Rice's vehicle, detectives located property belonging to multiple victims from Gwinnett."
The duo remained in custody in Florida as of Wednesday.
In addition to crimes there and in Gwinnett, authorities believe they are responsible for robberies in Cobb County. Rice was charged "in a previous series of robberies targeting Asian business owners in 2009," Smith said.
Despite the arrests, police are still looking for possible victims.
"Detectives are concerned that additional cases involving these suspects have gone unreported," Smith said. "They ask anyone who may have been a victim and not reported the crime to call 770-513-5300 and make a report. Translation services are available."

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Health Center
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a common condition that affects between 25 and 55 million Americans, the majority of whom are women. The condition most often occurs in people in their late teens to early 40s.
In essence, the condition is a combination of abdominal discomfort or pain and altered bowel habits: either altered frequency (diarrhea or constipation) or altered stool form (thin, hard, or soft and liquid).
Recommended Related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Who Is at Risk for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
It is not clear what causes irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, but certain factors seem to make some people more vulnerable than others. Risk factors for IBS include: Sex. About twice as many women as men suffer from IBS, reports the American College of Gastroenterology. Researchers aren't sure why this is so, but they suspect that changing hormones in the female menstrual cycle may have something to do with it. Age. IBS can affect people of all ages, but it is more likely to occur...
Read the Who Is at Risk for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? article > >
IBS is not a life-threatening condition and it does not make a person more likely to develop other colon conditions, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or colon cancer, or any diseases of the heart or nerves. Yet IBS can be a chronic problem that can significantly impair quality of life in those that have it. For example, people with IBS miss work three times more than people without IBS and the condition is associated with absenteeism from school, decreased participation in activities of daily living, alterations of one's work setting (shifting to working at home, changing hours), or giving up work altogether.
What Are the Symptoms of IBS?
Among the symptoms associated with IBS are:
- Diarrhea (often described as violent episodes of diarrhea).
- Constipation.
- Constipation alternating with diarrhea.
- Abdominal pains or cramps, usually in the lower half of the abdomen that are aggravated by meals and relieved by having a bowel movement. Often the person has more frequent bowel movements when they have pain and the stools are looser.
- Excess gas or bloating.
- Harder or looser stools than normal (rabbit like pellets or flat ribbon stools).
- Visible abdominal distension.
Some people with IBS have other symptoms not related to their digestive tract, such as urinary symptoms or sexual problems.
Symptoms of IBS tend to worsen with stress.
People with IBS have traditionally been described as having "constipation-predominant," "diarrhea-predominant," or an alternating pattern of constipation and diarrhea. Each type represents about a third of the overall IBS population.

Ladies, if you live in Texas, and know your man packs heat, and then your man finds you with your lover doing the beast with two backs, don't cry rape.
"Every time I learn the name of a student, I forget the name of a fish." - Ichthyologist David Starr Jordan
I've been fretting about memory. A lot. I've spent the last (and only) 30 years of my life in school. I've taken American History in junior high. I've taken calculus in high school. I've majored in Biology. I've majored in Philosophy. The other day, a friend asked me "who's the philosopher that thought the intellectuals should rule everyone?" I answered, "you mean Aristotle's philosopher-king notion?" It's not Aristotle. It's Plato. I got this wrong despite the fact that I studied ancient greek metaphysics almost exclusively for three years.
And so it goes with my knowledge of biology. I used to assistant teach college level biology classes. Today, I would probably get a C minus grade on one of the exams I used to proctor.
And here we are today, in law school. I'm a 2L. I had torts first semester of 1L year. Today, I would do worse than a C minus on a torts exam. By the way, in another year I'll have to take a torts exam. It's called the bar. So, this is a problem locally. But it's also a problem globally.
If only I could remember half of what I've ever known.
I doubt I'll ever know half of what I've ever known. But, the article linked above gives me a lot to think about. As law students, it's worth a read.

amg review
Culled from tapes of 60 concerts Bad Religion gave during 1996 on the Gray Race tour, the European-only Tested is a reasonably effective document of the group at the peak of their post-Brett Gurewitz power. Since the 27 tracks are taken from separate shows, the album never quite gains momentum like an actual live show, yet many of the individual moments (including three previously unrecorded songs) are excellent. Tested remains the province of dedicated collectors, but those fans will find it worthwhile. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

He was also without oxygen for the duration of the MRI.
