text: Lindsay Lohan's Costumes in Liz & Dick: The Good, Bad and the Very UglyDodai Stewart11/26/12 1:30pmFiled to: Good/bad/uglyLiz & dickliz taylorelizabeth taylorLindsay LohanLifetimeTopFbTV1652EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink We considered reviewing Liz & Dick, but it was just so incredibly bad: Lindsay has zero sparkle, charisma or pizazz in front of the camera; there's absolutely no light in her eyes. The script was horrendous, the music didn't work, the casting — Creed from The Office? Steve from Sex and the City? — was just confusing. But! With 66 costume changes in the 88-minute movie, we can attempt to keep things positive, since it's a kick to check out what she wore. Some of it was fabulous! One of the first shots we see is Liz reading a magazine by a pool in Hollywood. The buckles, the ruching, the piping on that bathing suit — so great. So of the era. Advertisement Grade: 8 out of 10 Next Liz and Dick are in dead ghost couples therapy or something, where she wears a sheer black top, through which we can see her bra. The good news is, there's smoking in heaven. Advertisement Grade: 3 out of 10 Here's our first look at Lindsay as Liz as Cleopatra. Not bad.Grade: 6 out of 10 While Liz is still with Eddie Fisher, she shows up at a restaurant in an emerald green taffeta cocktail dress. Great neckline, nice pleats. Advertisement Sponsored Grade: 7 out of 10 Right before Lindsay as Liz discovers she has a sex scene with Richard Burton as Mark Antony (Did she not read the script? Does she know nothing about Mark Antony and Cleopatra?), she wears a gorgeous hot pink embroidered caftan that some of us would love to blog in. Just add cucumbers! Advertisement Grade: 9 out of 10 The first of many meltdowns happens in a short red one-shoulder frock. Era-appropriate, but also classic enough that you could wear it to your office Christmas party this year.Grade: 9 out of 10 A man's robe over a black slip, perfect cooking attire. Advertisement Advertisement Grade: 7 out of 10 Even better? The frothy pink robe and lacy slip that Lindsay as Liz wore as she took a bunch of pills.Grade: 9 out of 10 Seriously the most fabulous way to arrive at the hospital. OD glamour.

Unless you are a football-playing choir member, this is not right.

Also, stop slouching. Advertisement Grade: 2 out of 10 That's better: Black silk robe with gold embroidery, the ideal ensemble for collapsing in a fit of frustration and then hurling a bottle across the room.Grade: 8 out of 10 The black fur hat is a winner. It looks great when drinking directly from the bottle… When throwing shade… When pretending to act. The black fur hat remains unruffled, unmoved, formidable. It's all about the black fur hat.

(I love Butterfield 8.)Grade: 8 out of 10 Dinner-plate hat, empire-waist half-sleeve coat with matching dress and gloves. Meh. Should be exciting, but it's not. Advertisement Grade: 5 out of 10 (Burton's wife had some cute stitching on her skirt suit in the next scene, however.) Black taffeta dress with ruffled hemline, which Lindsay as Liz wears out to dinner even though no one will associate with her and Dick: Darkly sweet. Advertisement Advertisement Grade: 7 out of 10 The folks watching with me quite enjoyed this yellow shirtdress worn with a brown polka-dotted tie. I don't love it, but I get it, the 70s sexy secretary slash Bonnie and Clyde vibe. Advertisement Grade: 6 out of 10 I like this better: Cold-hearted business bitch. Sharply tailored gray accented by a shit ton of jewels.Grade: 8 out of 10 Incognito in a turban, huge shades, and ruffly trenchcoat.

Palisade fencing is the most used type of high security fencing today. It is available powder coated in many different colours and many extra security features including snap off bolts, additional spikes between the pales and a method used to give the posts more grip and stability.
Snap Off Bolts
This method used in manufacturing enables the bolts to be tightened extremely tight and then the nut will break off, this makes sure that no one can remove the fixings to gain entry.
Additional spikes
On standard palisade fencing the spikes are situated on each paling and it is rather easy for unwanted intruders to scale the fencing between each pale. It is possible to have extra spikes welded in between to make climbing over almost impossible.
Extra grip for posts
Some manufacturers use a method of putting holes in the bottom section of the posts, this allows for the concrete to have more grip on the post and has less chance of becoming loose over time. A loose post will allow intruders to shake the fence and gain entry.
The fence is manufactured from the highest quality steel to ensure that it is up to the job and can't be easily cut through. Palisade fencing can be powder coated in many different colours, the most popular at this time is green.
Powder coating is a process of applying dry paint to the surface. It is hard, tough and very abrasion resistant this is perfect for security fencing and it will last many more years than other types of fencing.
The height of of palisade fencing is generally between 1.8 metres and 3 metres but it can be made to any specification you require by a professional company.
This type of fencing has been used for many years in many different countries including Greece, north America and south Africa. It was used around forts made from medium sized tree trunks without any gaps in between and the tops were sharpened to a point. After they were driven into the ground sometimes additional wooden supports were added behind. Wooden palisade fencing is not used as much today due to more tougher materials available.
As you can gather it has been around for a very long time and adapted to be more secure than ever, a perfect choice of security fencing for almost any situation but is more suited to public and commercial buildings but can be used as domestic fencing.
Looking for cheap palisade fencing?
We do not recommend that you purchase the cheapest option. If you need a security fence then the steel used in a cheaper option will not be as high quality and you will only have the standard security features. Additional spikes and snap off bolts are must have extras, after all you are purchasing this fence to protect your property so only the most secure should be an option.

How to Keep Kids Safe on the Sports Field
Playing a sport is one of the best ways kids can keep healthy. But along with the benefits of regular physical exercise come risks. Children's bodies are still growing, so the potential for damage to bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments is greater than it is for adults. Growing bones contain areas known as growth plates that are weaker than surrounding tissues and particularly vulnerable to injury. Injuries that might cause only minor damage to an adult could lead to a serious growth plate injury and even a broken bone in a growing child. Children who play contact sports are also at risk for trauma to the spinal cord and neck.
Here are a few tips to keep your kids out of the hospital:
Visit your pediatrician for a pre-season physical examination before beginning a sport.
Be sure all sports equipment and playing fields are safe and properly maintained. More than 200,000 injuries occur on playground equipment each year, and unsecured or defective equipment can increase the risk of harm. Check that playing fields are not riddled with holes and ruts that might cause kids to fall. Kids doing high-impact sports, like basketball and running, should do them on surfaces like tracks and wooden basketball courts, which are more forgiving surfaces than concrete.
Qualified adults should supervise any team sport or activity in which kids participate. Select leagues and teams that have the same commitment to safety and injury prevention that you do.
Check that your child's coaches are trained in first aid and CPR and have a plan for responding to emergencies. Coaches should be well versed in the proper use of equipment, and should enforce rules on equipment use.
Dress your child appropriately. In cold weather dress children in layers, so that as they warm they can remove one layer at a time. In hot weather, kids should wear thin, light-colored clothing. Don't forget to apply sunscreen. Make sure that your child's shoes are appropriate for his activity.
Help your child warm up. Warming up prepares the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and the heart for the demands of the sport.
Use properly sized, safety-tested, and well-fitting protective gear when appropriate for a particular sport. Be sure that children understand the correct use of protective gear.
Do not send kids to play a sport that they're unprepared to play. Make sure that your child knows how to play the sport before going out on the field.
Never push a child to play a sport if she feels uncomfortable or physically incapable of participating in the sport. Likewise, never push a child who is injured while playing to "play through" the pain of an injury.
Try to group children according to weight, size, and skill rather than chronological age, particularly for contact sports. Sometimes children who are small for their age attempt to perform beyond their capacity in order to keep up with larger and stronger peers, resulting in an increased risk for injury.
If your child is tired or sick, do not make her play.
Always seek medical care when a child becomes injured or develops a persistent symptom that interferes with his or her ability to play.
Keep your child hydrated. Kids should drink a glass of water 15 minutes before they begin exercising. If it's warm, they should make sure to drink water every 20 minutes during activity.
Make sure your child has time to cool down. Give her a few minutes to slow her activity before stopping, and wait until her skin is dry before taking her into an air-conditioned room.

Moel y Garnedd, Gwastadros
With such a prosaic name... it doesn't take a visionary Citizen Cairn'd to suss that here, crowning this (relatively) low hill top overlooking the northern aspect of Llyn Tegid (incidentally Wales' most copious natural lake), we have the remnants of a prehistoric cairn.
Coflein is curiously non-committal... but not so The Ordnance Survey, depicting the monument immediately to the east of their triangulation pillar upon the 1:25K version of their unsurpassed mapping. The Gwynedd Archaeological Trust complicate matters somewhat by additionally citing a monument a little to the north-east at SH89633551:
"(PRN 6239) Low flat-topped cairn... to North East of cairn on summit. Site completely turfed over apart from eroded area around a large boulder on South East. Cairn pock-marked with several holes (now completely grass grown). Erosion on South East side reveals small stones and earth. Stones max. 0.2m (apart from 2m long boulder)... Material excavated from largest hole appears to be very strong (Smith 2001)."
So... perhaps we have more than just the one monument, then? Whatever the truth, for me the 360 degree unrestricted panorama of mountains and hills is instructive - in short, the positioning is classic, nigh on perfect. Yeah, on a clear day the views would be breathtaking, taking in The Arans, Arenigs and associated wonders; my visit, dictated by a lowering cloudbase obscuring the encircling summits, was hostile, to say the least. But nevertheless well worth the effort.

Skelpick Long
(Chambered Tomb)
Interesting notes from a Victorian gentleman... featuring the archetypal, somewhat self conscious arrogance... that are nevertheless priceless scraps of detail relating to the 'opening' of the wondrous Skelpick Long Cairn:
At Skelpick, close to the farmhouse, are two round cairns, one nearly demolished, and the other has apparently been opened. Beyond this, on the right bank of the Skelpick burn, there is a long cairn, 80 or 90 yards in length, which I opened, and came upon a polygonal-shaped chamber, 11 feet diameter, the sides consisting of large stones 6 feet high, one of them 7 feet by 4 and 1J feet thick, placed at a distance from each other of 3 or 4 feet, the intervals being built up with long square stones. The roof had been formed by very large flags overlaying each other. The chamber had been opened from the top, and the whole inside was filled with stones and rubbish, so that I only cleared it out. Before I commenced operations, however, there was no appearance of it having been meddled with, and I dug it by chance, where the cairn appeared to be highest. Nothing whatever was found in it."
So much damage. So little applied science... "I dug it by chance". Nevertheless it survives as (in my opinion) one of the Uk's finest Neolithic long cairns. Come see it if you get the chance.

Field report to complement Carl's:
'A few miles from Durness, on the road to Gualan House, there are two cairns. One of them was opened many years ago and I was told that the bottom of a brass candlestick was found in it; this was no double an elliptical Scandinavian brooch. The other was opened by Professor Worsaae, who took away a skull from a small kist that was in it. The kist was full of bones when I saw it and I took a thigh bone out . . . it was remarkably fresh. The hillock on which they were placed is called Cnoc-na-cnavan.'
J Horsburgh 1870.'

Wasn't sure about this at the time.... however in retrospect my thoughts concur with the Canmore record:
"...amongst the stone clearance mounds of a field system is a probable cairn. It differs from its neighbours in that it is appreciably larger, 10.0m N-S by 9.0m E-W and 0.8m high, and is of regular rounded form. No cist or kerb is exposed; the mound like the adjacent clearance is completely obscured by peat...
Visited by OS (N K B) 26 April 1977."
I've also included a couple of shots of what would appear to be a small clearance cairn.

Higher Hartor Tor
(Round Cairn)
I stumbled/blundered upon this well sited, reasonably substantial cairn when more-or-less dead on my feet following sensory overload - and, OK, physical overload - at
Langcombe Brook
. I therefore only lingered for a short while, which, in retrospect does the monument a disservice. It is worth more, featuring significant upland vibe...
Located upon the south-western slopes of Higher Hartor Tor, Pastscape has this to relate about the monument:
"...It comprises a 9.5m diameter and up to 0.6m high ragged 3.0m wide ring of stones and small boulders. In the disturbed central area which is about 0.5m deep one slightly off-centre upright slab is visible : it is 0.2m high and 0.6m long and it could represent part of a robbed cist."

Two attempts to locate this cairn in Feb 2016 - one in appalling weather with mist at road level, the other with the additional assistance of the Mam C - proved inconclusive. Coflein has this to say:
'A round cairn is located on a south-east facing slope at 470m above OD. The slightly oval, flat-topped stony mound measures 8m (N-S) by 7.1m with a height of about 0.3m.... From the rim, on the east and north, there protrude a number of upright and leaning slabs, probably the remains of a kerb. In particular, on the east side there are two inward leaning slabs with exposed lengths of 0.7m and widths of 0.5m and 0.6m.' [David Leighton, RCAHMW, Feb 1985]
We did, however, locate two interesting features... images of which are posted. Hopeful that other members may be able to succeed so we can return and enjoy the vibe here once again.

Foel Darw, Y Mynydd Du
(Round Cairn)
From a purely archaeological perspective it is unlikely, in my opinion, that the low, circular feature crowning the deceptively spacious summit of Foel Darw will raise the pulse of any save the die hard prehistorian. However, if exquisite views... and a sense of occupying a special place in the landscape for an hour or two feature in your bag, a visit to Foel Darw's something for you, too. Schedule a visit as a prelude to the great
Nant Tarw
complex - or even the twin cairns upon
Garn Las
across the valley - and I reckon you've got yourself a classic day. Dirty white vest optional.
According to RCAHMW (Dave Leighton 20/2/01: 'On the summit of Foel Derw a low turf-covered stony ground swelling probably marks the remains of a cairn. It measures 11m in diameter and no more than 0.2m high'.

Achaoh A'Chuirn

Since this chambered cairn stands within private property prospective visitors might wish to plan ahead to avoid potential disappointment. Yeah, do it properly rather than replicate my farcical - albeit ultimately successful - attempt.

(Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork)
Located near to the fine chambered cairn
Carn Richard
this settlement, well positioned overlooking the River Helmsdale, consists of seven round houses, two of which are particularly well preserved... and an enclosure to boot.
The site was "found during field investigation in 1961 on a south facing hill-slope where RCAHM in 1909 had reported a field system. A further hut at NC 83773170 was discovered in 1968"

Meldon Burn
(Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork)
Anywhere else but here - set above the Meldon Burn between the towering hill forts of Black and White Meldon - this would be a headline monument worth a substantial trip in its own right. As a bonus site... well... the abundance of the archaeological and aesthetic riches available in the immediate locality takes the breath away as comprehensively as the brutal slogs to the aforementioned summits. Ideal as a less demanding - in a physical sense, at least - alternative visit, or as a post-exertion evening chill-out, proving the idiom that things aren't always black or white..... (sorry).
Anyway, according to the RCAHMS 1967 (visited 1959) the settlement consists of:
"Two stone-walled enclosures, one of which has been built inside the other are situated on a broad natural terrace near the foot of the W slopes of White Meldon Hill. The earlier.. (is)... 220' by 180' ... surrounded by a heavy wall, 12' in thickness... The later..... 165' by 120' within a wall consisting of a rubble core faced with heavy angular blocks....the collapsed debris indicate a thickness of 10'."

Ben Uarie
Standing sentinel over Glen Loth, where the road begins its descent to the megalithic cornucopia of the Strath of Kildonan, Ben Uarie, at 2,044ft (623m) is way, way down the list of Scotland's highest peaks. In fact it's not even the tallest in the area, that accolade bestowed upon neighbouring Beinn Dhorain. It is, however, a striking mountain, dominating the upper reaches of the glen by sheer force of profile.
Although not currently featuring upon Canmore's database, Ben Uarie is crowned by the remains of a significant cairn, significant in terms of size of embedded footprint - if not height - and featuring an OS triangulation pillar within a modern, circular shelter. In addition there are - to my mind - clear remnants of a former kerb still in situ strongly suggesting an ancient origin. It would appear the aforementioned Ordnance Survey people agree, the cairn featured in antiquarian typeface upon the latest 1:25k map (but not the 1:50k).
It would also seem that Ben Uarie is woven into the tapestry of local folklore, Sinclair (Stat, Acct of Scotland, XV. 191) relating how the imposingly statuesque Clach Mhic Mhios - otherwise known as Clach Macmeas - 'was hurled to the bottom of the glen from the top of Ben Uarie by a giant youth when one month old'. The fact that the nearer - and, as mentioned, higher Beinn Dhorain was not name-checked as source of the monolith is surely significant, reflecting an association with the mountain stretching way back into the mists of time.

Langstone Moor
The denuded remains of several cairns can still be visited some 300-odd yards to the approx south-east of the Langstone Moor stone circle, standing above the River Walkham.
With Great Mis Tor dominating the southern aspect the location is pretty special, even if the archaeology won't compete with the nearby great ring. Perhaps it was not always thus, however, a 'stone circle or kerb' being cited - presumably at SX 55757812 - in 1898 [T Devon Ass 30 1898 112].
Note that the map also depicts settlements to the east and below to the approx south-west.

Corndon Tor
(Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork)
Prospective visitors with a passion for ancient domestic dwellings should note that - as far as I'm aware - there are two prehistoric settlements in the immediate vicinity of Corndon Tor, with associated reaves/field systems. Hey, perhaps there are more?
1) A settlement at SX68217466 near Sherwell
2) A grouping of hut circles centred at SX68857525 to the NE
There is also a possible prehistoric enclosure/pound at SX69077479. Oh and a number of sites clustered around nearby Yar Tor, too.
The twin summits of Corndon Tor itself are instead (very) notable for possessing massive Bronze Age cairns.... two to the north and one to the south. There is also an enigmatic 'tor cairn' near the latter. Please refer to

Longstone Hill
Located below and (roughly) to the north-west of Yes Tor, Longstone Hill possesses a couple of Bronze Age cairns of its own....
Now I believe I visited the monument at SX56909053, cited by Pastscape thus:
"A very disturbed cairn 630m SSE of the flagpole on Longstone Hill. The mound measures 8.7m N to S by 8.3m and stands a maximum of 1.0m high on its W side. The W half of the interior is occupied by two amorphous hollows, which appear to be unrecorded antiquarian excavations. Spoil from these features has been deposited on the S flank of the cairn. There is no evidence to suggest the presence of a kerb or cist. Scheduled"
More or less dead on my feet by this point I consequently bypassed what appeared to be other examples, including one such at cSX567911. The location boasts excellent views, in my opinion well worth an extended visit if the high plateau of Yes Tor/High Willhays does not appeal. Particularly so if your sojourn includes a wander around the stark rock formations of Black Tor....

High Willhays
It would appear there was a lot more going on upon the summit plateau of High Willhays during prehistoric times than is readily apparent to today's casual visitor.... assuming any visit to south-western England's highest point can be termed 'casual', that is.
In addition to the 'tor cairn' at SX58028944, an arc of conspicuous orthostats due east of the summit tor at SX58038922 caught the eye of this traveller. The summit crags themselves are crowned by an an almost impossibly tidy walker's cairn, a stone pile balanced upon the naked rock in a such a seemingly precarious fashion that a gust of wind might well send it crashing to the coarse grass below. So why the existance of several relatively substantial upright stones clearly standing vertical - well, more or less - as a result of human agency? My immediate theory was the arc may once have formed a section of kerb retaining a cairn of which the summit remnants are all that remain.
Funnily enough at least one earlier, not to mention more experienced traveller, came to a not too dissimilar conclusion. To quote Pastscape:
"A semi-circle of leaning orthostats adjacent to the E side of one of the outcrops forming High Willhays. The stones remain a maximum of 0.75m high and describe an arc some 9m in length. Small boulders and slabs are interspersed with the orthostats suggestive of a ring cairn, in this case attached to the tor. The outer ring... is visible as a slight scarp a maximum of 0.2m high curving around the NE quadrant of the inner ring. It may represent a second element to the cairn or, more likely, be the result of stone removal in the more recent past. The outcrop to which this cairn is attached is crowned by a recent walkers' cairn which presumably contains material derived from this feature. [Probert SAJ 15/9/2003, EH Field Investigation]"

Cadair Fawr (South)
These two upland cairns stand, as you'll probably guess from the title, immediately below and more or less to the south of Cadair Fawr.
According to Coflein the northern of the pair [at SN97721199] "measures 7.5m in diameter and 0.3m high, and consists of loose rubble consolidated around the perimeter". So, not exactly overwhelming in scale, then. But substantial enough. For me, however, the monument is given a massive injection of vibe by having been located between two small shake holes, the apparent - oh, come on! - association of Bronze Age monuments with such natural landscape phenomena quite a local speciality, so it would seem.
The second cairn lies at SN97791191 and "measures 7.1m (E-W) by 6.1m and 0.3m high. It is composed of loose unsorted stones and small boulders." [both quotes DKL/DJP 3.86].
These cairns would suffice as the focal points of specific visits in most areas, I guess. However such are the treasures in the locale that.... well, there you are.

Cefn Sychbant
(Barrow / Cairn Cemetery)
Cefn Sychbant East
Unfortunately fast approaching darkness ensured I did not have time to do this site justice.... consequently I left it - together with a neighbour further east at SN98921108 - for another day.
Set to the approx north-east of the much larger monument at SN98551095, the exact form appears uncertain. According to Coflein the monument is:
"...a grass-grown stony ring bank 0.3m high, 1.2m wide...diameter of about 10.5 to 11.5m. There is slight evidence for an inner kerb of larger stones. In the 1950s 'a wrecked central cist' revealed a sandstone disk 4cm in diameter and 1cm thick, now in the National Museum" [David Leighton, RCAHMW, Jan 1983].
As for the cairn located at SN98921108:
"...defined by two stony arcuate banks on the east and west separated by a distance of 10m and suggesting an overall diameter of 15.4m. The banks are 2m-3m wide and 0.25m high.... On the cairn's outside west edge is a embedded a thick sandstone slab, perhaps the remains of a kerb. It is not clear if this is a remnant cairn... or a ritual monument of the 'hengiform' or ring cairn type...." [David Leighton, RCAHMW, 19 Oct 2010].

Graig Ddu (Y Gamriw North-East Ridge)
Travellers walking the length of Graig Ddu, Y Gamriw's north-eastern ridge, will have the pleasure of visiting a trio of relatively substantial upland cairns in a linear procession. In fact I wouldn't have minded walking all the way back to Llanwrthwl... if I could have cadged a lift back to the car. As it was I had to settle for visits to cairns I and II - back in September 2012 - before dropping steeply southward down to the road. Although on second thoughts 'settle' is hardly appropriate in the circumstances, not with the robust Y Elenydd weather patterns seeing fit to illuminate the otherwise uncompromisingly hostile sky with wondrous lightshows of indescribable intensity. Not to mention subject me to a good dowsing or three. Needless to say images and/or comment regarding cairn III would be most welcome.
Oh, the technical bit. Coflein's data are thus:
Graig Ddu I - (SN95326171): "A mountain ridge-top cairn, 12.5m by 13.4m and 0.9m high, the centrally much disturbed." [RCAHMW AP965026/66; J.Wiles 16.09.03]
Graig Ddu II - (SN95666204): "...14.9m by 13.1m and 1.0m high, having a contiguous platform, 5.0m wide and 0.3m high, on the NE." [RCAHMW AP965026/67; J.Wiles 17.09.03]
Graig Ddu III - (SN95986255): "Cairn on E edge of mountain ridge, 8.5m in diameter and 0.5m high, of which it is thought only the base remains. A modern sheepshelter occupies the NW area" [J.Wiles 23.04.02]

Y Gamriw (North)
Located a little distance below, and to the north of, Y Gamriw's summit cairn, this pair crown a NE-SE aligned ridge, complementing the sentinel monument nicely. In my opinion. There are fine views toward the stone circle (and whatever else may be there!) located in the vicinity of Crugian Bach, not to mention further afield across Y Elenydd.
According to Coflein the north-eastern (Coflein II) is
"A much disturbed cairn, 14.9m by 16.7m and 1.8m high."
The south-western (Coflein III) is "A tumbled and ill-defined cairn, 15.2m in diameter and 1.5-2.4m high, a large central crater is occupied by rough stone shelters."

Carn Gron
(Barrow / Cairn Cemetery)
There is a trio of cairns located upon the summit plateau of 1,774ft Carn Gron, a shapely large hill / mini-mountain a little under 4 miles to the approx north-west of Tregaron. According to Coflein:-
Summit Cairn - SN73976106:
"A round cairn, 16.5m in diameter & 1.2m high, set upon the highest point of Garn Gron, having a shelter constructed on the E side, with the NE segment having been cleared to ground level; possible cist elements are exposed at the centre"
Cairn II - SN74006108:
"A modern cairn, 5.0m in diameter & 1.8m high, is set upon the turf-covered base of an apparent earlier cairn, 9.0m in diameter"
Western Cairn - SN73786114:
"A subcircular cairn, 15m N-S by 14m & 1.2m high, set on the W summit of Garn Gron, apparently touched on its NE side by Gwys-yr-Ychen-bannog linear boundary feature; a central disturbance displays possible cist elements".

Hi, I'm GLADMAN... aka Citizen Cairn'd. Or if you prefer, Robert. Now aside from (apparently) having an illustrious historical forebear in W E Gladstone, I've a passion for attempting to understand the more prosaic lives of the pioneering prehistoric inhabitants of these British Isles, seeking out the visible (and sometimes not so visible) remains they left behind in order to ask the questions... 'why here? ... why did it matter so; why such commitment?.. and why should I/do I care? Needless to say I'm still pondering such intangibles. Now I've a particular liking for those upland piles of stone with the appropriately monumental views; visiting them, I think, helps engender a certain 'connection' - however nebulous - with this land of ours, a reference point for those of us struggling to make sense of this so-called 'computer world' Kraftwerk warned us was a'coming in 1981.... danke, mein herren.
Suffice to say, then, that mine is not an exercise in dryly cataloguing sites for the benefit of future generations - as much as I might try (honest) I haven't yet been able to embrace altruism to that extent - but rather an attempt to try and reconcile why I am often so incredibly moved by these constructions of stone and/or earth representing a time when everything was, by all accounts, literally a matter of life and death. Yeah, just as an empty house appears to retain echoes of past humanity... an illusion, perhaps, but symptomatic of the consciousness that apparently sets us apart as a species... so does the stone circle, the chambered cairn, the long barrow and the mountain top funerary cairn. We may only be able to hypothesise as to the nature of human interaction undertaken. But clearly it mattered. A lot.
I make no claims for my contributions except to state that I've done my best to relate what I've seen. Yeah, enjoying the moment always takes precedent. After all, life is not a rehearsal, a spectator sport. The majority of my earlier images are (variable quality) scans of archive prints taken back in the days when photography was, well, 'photography', the others idiosyncratic digital attempts to capture the impossible.... 'mood', a sense of vibe ... with minimal refuge sought in that false post production manipulation that has, in my opinion, so blighted the medium. I'd like to think some of them convey something of what I've felt. Likewise my opinions are those of an enthusiastic 'self taught' amateur. Hence if you like what you see, why thank you! But please go see for yourself, make up your own mind, relate what you think, share what you experienced... yeah, do your own thing, so helping to keep the facists, communists, authoritarians, misogynists and the dark shadow of organised religion from the door. As the great, flawed Ian Dury once said, 'Be inspired, be inspiring, be magnificent!' ... and thus the circle turns in on itself to go round again, as upon the great kerb stones at Bru na Boinne....
However... let's not get carried away. Steady now. In a society where computer generated fantasy is all too prevalent, where many people seem - to me - unable to even venture outside without plugging into the 'matrix' machine, please be aware that reaching some of the more remote upland sites in the British Isles can be potentially dangerous - even life threatening - for the unprepared... or arrogant. Treat the landscape and weather with the respect they deserve; take map, compass, waterproofs (etc) and hopefully you won't go too far wrong. Help turn that limited wannabe squaddie route marching mentality on its head by taking as long as you can, let being part of this planet soak in. Hey, if it all seems a bit daunting at first why not pop a question in the Forum? That's why Mr Cope puts up the readies to run TMA.... Thank you Julian.
So cheers... to Mr Cope for being his inspirational, confrontational (who said that?) self, showing that field archaeology can be FUN! - hey, who'd have thought it? ...to my sister (the wondrous Mam Cymru) for using her female 'micro' vision to help me see the detail throughout an ongoing re-exploration of the South Walian uplands, albeit upon dodgy ankles, knees etc... to my own mam for insisting 'young men should have adventures' (that was a while back, now!).... and my Dad for unwittingly inspiring a profound love of high places. Oh, and to Aubrey Burl for those pioneering guides BC.... 'Before Cope'.
For what it's worth some of my other inspirational people are:
Charles Darwin (for his humanity... amongst, er, 'other things'... although let's not forget Wallace for forcing the great man's hand);
And then, in no particular order:
George Orwell (peerless essayist with the ability to change his mind); Michael Collins (things are not often black and white...); Winston Churchill (for all his faults); Martin L. Gore (favourite songwriter... from just up the road!); Big Steve Chamberlain (sorely missed); Mr Beethoven; Giorgio Moroder & his analogue sequencers; Richard Dawkins (much maligned - and asks for it - yet helping to carry the torch of reason during an age of devolutionary religious resurgence); The Pogues (for my North Walian soundtrack); Sophie Scholl (words fail me); W A Mozart (ditto); Manic Street Preachers (the true spirit of South Wales, not the bleedin' misogamist male voice choirs); Alan Pearlman.. for the sublime ARP Odyssey; Nigel Kennedy; Pat Jennings; Will Shakespeare; Kraftwerk; Harry Hill (there's only one way to find out!); Claudia Brucken (proving Germans DO have passion); the (Allied) generation of WW2 for making this possible; Marc Almond; Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy; John Foxx; Christopher Hitchens; Mulder and Scully; John Le Mesurier ('do you think that's wise, sir?'... the coolest man) .... and anyone who has ever asked 'Why?' - the true legacy of punk. Thank you Mr Lydon.
Oh, last but not least, Gaelic beauty Karen Matheson... the Scottish trips wouldn't have been the same without that voice. 'The call is unspoken, never unheard'.
George Orwell - '...during times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act'....
Truman Capote - 'Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour'.
W E Gladstone - 'Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic'.
William Blake - 'A truth that's told with bad intent; Beats all the lies you can invent'
John Lydon - 'It is a reward to be chastised by the ignorant'.
Christopher Hitchens - 'Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.'
Sarah Cracknell - 'I walk the side streets home; even when I'm on my own...'
Winston Churchill - 'KBO'.
Finally, regrettably... having witnessed several instances of personal animosity over the years: Martin L. Gore -
'Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes' - or rather, boots.

Arsenal 2 Charlton Athletic 0
ARSENAL MOVED FORWARD THE kick-off to give the Worthington Cup final a free run on television but they are in no mood to move aside for anyone in the Premiership. High noon at Highbury yesterday saw them shoot down the league's most in-form team and Thierry Henry, as ever, was quickest on the draw.
In the opening quarter of this London derby Charlton Athletic's tireless closing down in midfield created the kind of congestion that would alarm Ken Livingstone but by the end Henry was motoring around the pitch unimpeded. Europe's finest player has turned Arsenal, in domestic competitions at

This course will discuss what court records may be valuable in family history research and what is included in probate records.
Pennsylvania Research: Land Records: Field of Dreams
Many feel land records only indicate where and how much land your ancestor owned. However, there are times when these records may assist in linking families. In this short lesson state and county land records will be discussed and where these records can be located and what information they may contain. The last lesson in this series is Pennsylvania Research: County Court and Probate Records.
Pennsylvania Research: Vital and Church Records
Birth, marriage and death certificates are very important in Family History research. Since 1906 the state of Pennsylvania has been recording birth and death events. But, before the keeping of vital records churches were the main record keepers of vital events in individual's lives. Learn how to acquire vital and church records and discover where they are kept. The next lesson in this series is Pennsylvania Research: Land Records: Field of Dreams.

We offer 3 different types of online SAP courses:
Overview Courses
These courses introduce the student to SAP modules and their respective functionality, usage and integration. These courses are designed for managers, end users, business analysts and consultants.End User Courses
These courses teach the detailed SAP transactions for each SAP module and cover the most commonly used functions an end user performs in his daily job routine. These courses are hands-on SAP simulations - as if you were logged into a real SAP system.Configuration Courses
These courses cover the configuration tasks required to
set up the various SAP modules. These courses are designed for business
analysts/configurators and consultants. These courses are hands-on SAP
simulations - as if you were logged into a real SAP system.
When learning a new topic in SAP we suggest to start with the Overview course first, followed by the End User course and then the Configuration course.
Recommended Prerequisite CoursesDo I really have to take all these courses?
We put a lot of effort into the design of our curriculum and each course builds upon the next. While you are free to take any course in any order with or without taking the prerequisite courses we strongly suggest you follow the designated curriculum plan for the best learning experience.
For example, let's say you want to take the FIGL101 - Basic General Ledger Accounting course. This course assumes that you have taken all of the recommended prerequisite courses and will not cover any of the necessary knowledge from these courses again (i.e. it won't explain how to run a report in SAP because the prerequisite course SAP110 already did that). If you don't know how to do this you will feel lost in the course or feel that something is missing. That's why it is important to follow our curriculum plans.
Final Exam & Certification
In order to receive your MMC Certification for this course you have to:
complete all lessons in this course
pass the final exam with at least 80%
The final exam consists of a random pool of questions. You will have to answer 40 random questions in 80 minutes and achieve an 80% pass grade to get your certification status.
Make sure to study thoroughly for the final exam as it is challenging. The average failure rate upon the first attempt is 40%. You may repeat the final exam until you have passed it without any additional fees.
Once you are an MMC Certified SAP Professional you (or your employer or client) can validate your certification status on our website.

To die would be an awfully big adventure, nearly as big as getting lost in Kensington Gardens, which I managed to do on my way to find Peter Pan flying home to his Bayswater oasis. Then suddenly it loomed: a big white marquee with adjoining pavilion and an auditorium of over 1,000 seats.
A seemingly nutcase summer project turns out to be a real surprise. The big top atmosphere is perfect for Peter and the Darling children to fly through the air on elaborate coat-hangers, and they are joined by a sparkling, aerial Tinkerbell in a pink tutu and permanent scowl, and some wonderful post-War Horse puppetry for Nana the dog, the pet ostrich and the crocodile, the skeletal croc with a clock.
The circular environment, designed as a large bedroom easily converted to the dream world of Neverland and the piratical deck, is sensationally complemented by William Dudley's wrap-around cinematic projections, taking us on a 3D journey across the London landscape to the fantasy lagoon and the make-believe world of Tiger Lily and Captain Hook.
So, the show becomes the very best sort of tourist attraction: Peter Pan in its virtually "real" location. In the novel, which followed the play, J M Barrie has Peter explain himself to Wendy as a city boy running away "to have fun" in Kensington Gardens. The first images, projected around our heads are of Edwardian rooftops in Ladbroke Grove. And the mermaid's lagoon is a fantasy version of the Serpentine, and maybe Hook's cabin is the pavilion at the end of the Italian Gardens.
But none of this swamps the dramatic content. When Tinkerbell (the Catalan actress Itxaso Moreno) swallows the poisonous medicine, she lies backwardly prostrate while Peter whispers that he believes in fairies without asking us to join him; though we do, of course. They fly through the stars, the theatre transformed to the Planetarium for the famous cry, "And now to rescue Wendy!" Lord, how we cheered.
Peter is devilishly embodied by Ciaran Kellgren, relocating the travesty tradition (the role was always played by a woman – from Nina Boucicault to Maggie Smith) firmly in one of boyish, mother-seeking charm. Kellgren's the best new actor I've seen this year, and he is perfectly matched by the more experienced Abby Ford as Wendy, a slight but steely red-haired girl-woman who embraces her caring destiny with deadly seriousness.
Barrie's 1904 masterpiece was reclaimed for the modern theatre by the Trevor Nunn and John Caird 1982 RSC revival, their inspirational follow-up to Les Miserables. This revival, adapted by Tanya Ronder and very well directed by site-specific specialist Ben Harrison, follows that example in many respects, not least in the coda where Wendy shuts the window on Peter now that she's fulfilled that maternal destiny in real, "boring" life.
And Captain Hook is restored to rip-roaring mock-tragedian status in Jonathan Hyde's performance. Like Abby Ford, he forges a poignant connection to his outer life as Mr Darling, the writhing tormented pirate prefiguring the wretched city slicker paying for his crimes in the dog kennel. Hyde is a throwback actor, using his voice like a volley of muskets and pictorially reinforcing the idea that Hook might have visually resembled the statue of William of Orange in the park outside.
There's a jolly band of trembling pirates, a charming low-key Smee from Ian Hughes, a sexy Tiger Lily from Amber Rose Revah and an anxiety-ridden Mrs Darling from Karen Ascoe. The costumes (also created by Dudley) are outstanding, and the music of Benjamin Wallfisch a splendid conflation of cinematic and theatrical sound score writing.

Ground Beef Curry (Kima Curry)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
This recipe is from one of my new favorite cookbooks, Extending the Table. The notes on this recipe say that this Swahili dish is served by a restaurant in the heart of Nairobi. I have only modified it to make the recipe fit into Zaar format, to preserve the authenticity of the recipe. This is a very mild, very easy to make curry.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup onion, sliced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 tablespoon curry powder
- 5 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon gingerroot, crushed
- 3 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup water
- salt
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Saute onion and beef until browned. Drain fat.
- Add in curry powder, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes and fry briefly.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Turn down heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Serve over rice or with Chapatis.

Very tasty! Made some subs for missing ingredients but still came out excellent.

Had to use a can of unsalted diced tomatoes since I didn't have whole and used a little ketchup instead of plain tomato paste.

I messed up part of the cooking instructions for the onions/beef (Forgot to put the oil first, whoops!) but it didn't seem to matter much. It's not a very spicy curry, which is perfect for me, since I'm kind of a spice-wimp. X3 but it's wonderful over some hot rice!
I agree with everyone else's thoughts on the blandness. I quadrupled the curry, doubled the cinnamon, and added some hot pepper to spice it up. I served it with lime-cilantro rice and it was very good. Maybe the curry I had was just too bland - like some have suggested - curry paste may be a better option.
simple and straight -forward, this dish had a delectable spiciness that had little to do with heat and more to do with depth of flavor. good weekday go to.

Britney Spears Lets Her Hair Down - X Factor USA Host Photogenic at Party
Britney Spears shows off her luscious blonde locks at the 'X Factor' viewing party in Los Angeles, California.
The stunning judge turned heads in her little black embroidered dress, which revealed her new toned physique after working out at the gym.
Is her wedding any closer?
The singer and 'X Factor USA' host has been engaged to her manager, Jason Trawick, since December 2011, but admitted they haven't gotten far with the wedding yet.
When asked how the nuptials are going last month by Entertainment Tonight she responded they were getting there.
She continued she and Jason are in the "beginning stages" of organizing their wedding.
The 30-year-old also admitted to being a stickler for organization and cleanliness at home, while Jason, 41, is the polar opposite.
Britney said: "I'm OCD. I'm like, to the point where I'm completely anal and he's the complete opposite so we really butt heads in that department."
When asked about the most organized room in their house, she said: "All the rooms. Even the refrigerator is completely organized. Everything is in its place."
Britney - who has two has two sons, Sean Preston, seven, and Jayden James, six from her previous marriage to Kevin Federline - has recently bought a new $8.5 million house in the quiet district of Thousand Oaks, 40 miles outside downtown Los Angeles with Jason.

A/N: Welcome. I've had this idea in my head since December! I'm glad I'm getting it up. I hope I can be responsible for it. Also, I've read the Metropolis manga! It's so fricking different compared to the movie. My motto: Read, Review, and Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Frances sat on her bed, watching Metropolis. Again. She'd watched it everyday that week, three times on Saturday. What? It was a great movie.
She had medium brown hair and gray eyes. She had a 'Boy-Figure', so she didn't really have hips or anything.
Fran was a Rock-fangirl. Definitely. So, of course, she hated the end. She always turned it off when Ziggurat was falling.
She removed the pendant around her neck and looked at the jewel. The jewel was melded into an ovular shape. It was obsidian; black as the night sky. It was rimmed with platinum. A family heirloom; it was 6 generations old.
And Fran dropped in on the carpet. Sigh, she was a bit of a klutz sometimes.
She bent down over the bed to grab the priceless necklace, and fell off herself. She saw the necklace under the bed. As she reached for it, it seemed to jump further beneath the bed. Fran paused before going after it.
"Maybe watching Metropolis every day of the week really was a bad idea," she said to herself. But the necklace didn't seem to be moving anymore. So she reached for it.
As she did, a swirling emerald vortex came from the pendant. Before she could even cry for help, is enveloped her.
She was in an alleyway. Huh?
What the hell just happened? she thought. Did the house fall down? Was I kidnapped? It happened too fast…
Fran stood up. She leaned against the gray brick wall, holding her head. She wiped off her face. And she screamed.My hands…they're…anime hands! Am I dreaming? This is really messed up…
She looked at her new hands. They were anime. She rushed over to a puddle and looked into it. She was anime.
I'm not believing this…this ISN'T real…I don't believe in real-life miracles… she thought, shunning the idea.
She pinched herself. It felt real. But she'd actually hurt herself in dreams before, on command, too. She put her hands in the puddle.
Yikes! She pulled her hands out of the water and tried to warm them. Damn, that's cold.
It wasn't a dream. But Fran wasn't going to believe that! She ran out of the alleyway, hearing her steps. That never happened in her dreams.
When she was out of the alleyway, she saw the people in the crowded streets. In the distance, you could see the remains of Ziggurat.
And Fran believed.
A man ran into a smoky room.
"What the hell happened?!" he screamed.
"The radar," another man responded. He coughed. "It picked up…–cough- energy…"
"What??!" the first man yelled. "Paranormal energy??! Which radar?"
The first man covered his eyes and nose and to the furthest end of the room and threw open the window. The smoke began to thin out. He could make out shapes of the men who'd been in the room. He ran back to the door and swung the door open and almost shut, to help with the smoke. He could now see a bit better than before. Soon, all the smoke was away from the room. The first man was a man with brown hair and eyes, and all the other men had various eyes and hair.
"What happened?" came a calm, new voice. The first man stood and saluted.
"Reporting in, Ed Jenkins, sir! One of the men's radars detected paranormal energy, sir!" The new man smiled. He had bleach-blonde hair and snake-like green eyes. He wore a white suit.
"Perfect. Which radar?" he questioned. A man raised his hand.
"You're getting a raise." He walked over to the radar. "Smoke may have bellowed from this thing, but I can still see where it happened." He pointed to a part of the screen. "Send a troop here for investigation, with 3 extra troops combing the area. We're gonna catch this thing, whatever it is."
Fran slowly walked around the area. She was in Metropolis. Not watching it, in it. What was she doing here? How did she get here? But the toughest question was why she was here. Why had she been sucked into Metropolis?
She knew these questions most likely wouldn't get answered. But she could at least find help.
"Excuse me," she asked some random dude with a mustache. "I'd like some help. Do you know where the police station is?" He gave some directions. "Thanks."
Fran rushed to the spot. When she arrived, she told them about what'd just happened to her.
"Yeah, we don't except pranks here. Try givin' 'em to those good-for-nothing Marduks." said an officer.
"I'm serious! I just found myself in the alleyway, I swear!" she insisted.
"Wait," said a policewoman. "Remember what those people said the other day? Somethin' about paranormal activity? Maybe this gal has something related to that."
"Yeah, but who says those guys weren't frauds?" said another policeman.
"You could say every business in Metropolis is a fraud and it wouldn't make it true," she shot back. "Come on. We should at least let her stay here. We can't have people running around Metropolis all the ding-dong day, there's heavy-duty construction everywhere within a mile of the Ziggurat…"
Ziggurat, Fran thought. That means…Rock is already dead…
"Girl. What's your name?" she asked.
"Uh…Fran…" she hesitated. What was the point of using a faux identity when no-one in the city knew who she was anyway?
"Fran, huh? Short for Frances?" Fran nodded. "Cool. You can come back into our little room."
She guided Fran into a little room with only a couple doughnuts ands a full bag of veggies. There were lots of worn down couches and stained blankets. There was a radio for police transmissions. No windows.
"Cozy li'l space, ain't it? You can stay here for a while. I have to go make some calls, I'll check on ya later." And she left. Fran sat on a plaid couch and took a jelly-filled doughnut. Fran could taste the doughnut. That was even more proof that she wasn't dreaming.
Fran eavesdropped on the policewoman's calls. Not on purpose, she just kind of heard.
"Yes, this is the Surface police." she heard the woman say. "No, not Zone-1…No, we are not Marduks…We called cuz we found a girl who came in who said she had no idea where she was."
Well that's not true, Fran thought. I know I'm in Metropolis. But maybe it's best to say that for now.
"Yes. No." the policewoman continued. "She said she just found herself in an alleyway…How the hell is she supposed to know which street? Yes…yes…I don't know…alright. Goodbye."
The policewoman returned. "Alright, Fran. You're comin' with me."
The woman guided Fran to a hovercar. (They do have hovercars in Metropolis, remember?)
Eventually they reached a seemingly abandoned building.
"Alright, Fran. He told me you had to go in alone from here. Good luck." The policewoman flew away.
Fran hesitated before going in. But she knew she had no other choice, so she entered.
There was a guard waiting for her.
"Come." he said. He led her to a smallish room with a single chair in the center.
"Sit." the guard told her. She sat. A man with bleach blonde hair and snake-like green eyes entered, with a few men behind him.
"Hello." he said. "What is your name?"
"Um…"Fran hesitated. "F-frances…"
"Well then. Hello, Frances. Good to meet you."
"Why am I here?" she asked nervously.
"Ah, such audacity. But in such a young girl, it can be considered cheeky." he stated.
Cheeky! Fran thought angrily. I just got transported through a dimension, taken in by the police, put in a room with a suspicious and mysterious guy who scares me, and I'm suddenly cheeky! This guy is an ass.
"Frances," the man said. "My name is Beroerd Menselijk."
Woah. Fran thought. That's a weird name.
The man smiled. "I am Dutch, and so is my name. Most people just call me BM or Ber. Aside from that, I work with paranormal phenomena. I try very hard to discover how it works and where it comes from."
O.k., so far so good, Fran thought.
"Today our sensor detected an immense amount of paranormal energy. It came from a small alleyway near a police station, and I sent men to check it out. But when they got there, nothing suspicious was close by. Then we got a call from a police station, stating your situation. That is how you came to be here, in Metropolis."
Beroerd made a gesture to some guards. As they walked past Fran, a business card fell onto her arm. BM kept talking.
"Frances, something happened. Where you live mixed with where I live, and you came here."
Fran looked at the business card. It read:
Alex Johanson
Destruction Of Paranormal Effects & Such
"We keep Metropolis free of all kinds of paranormal activity. We destroy
as much of it as we can. Even if we have to kill to do it." –Beroerd Menselijk, Owner of DOPES.
Fran's eyes widened.
"Uh-oh. It looks like you've seen the business card." Ber said calmly.
"How do you know the alleyway I was in was the alleyway where all the paranormal activity was?" Fran questioned nervously.
"When you entered, a sensor in the doorway looked over you. There was paranormal energy practically coating you."
"Why do you hate paranormal stuff so much?" Fran asked.
"Well, Frances, the people of Metropolis are surrounded by technology and industry. When there is enough technology, mainly pastimes, people don't have to worry about what is going on in political life, and people will not revolt. Technology is a strong power, but paranormal energy can, when harnessed correctly, be much stronger. There are many people who wish for Metropolis to be less industrious, and therefore less innocent. The leaders of Metropolis don't wish for this to happen. Therefore all paranormal energy must be terminated before the people can get their hands on it. Anything that has paranormal energy must be destroyed, even if they're people."
"Does that mean you're going to kill me?"
"Most likely."
Oh god. Fran thought. What am I going to do? Rr…keep asking questions!
"Why is paranormal stuff so strong?" Fran asked.
"Well, paranormal energy is only powerful when harnessed correctly. But when it is, imagine it like this. You are stuck in a prison. Say, solitary confinement. There is no way out. Normally, that is. But imagine being able to phase through walls without even trying. Imagine turning invisible. Then getting out would be a breeze."
Fran was out of questions. So she ran.
BM wasn't worried. He thought he had guards posted right there.
But then he realized those guards had just left a few minutes ago.
Fran ran as fast as she could.
What am I going to do? she thought.
A/N: That was a very long first chapter. I know it seems to have very little to do with Metropolis so far, but I promise it will have a lot more to do with it next chapter. Please review!

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet is urging policymakers to maintain fiscal responsibility when developing economic rescues. Trichet warned that fiscal indiscipline could further hinder confidence in the financial system and increase investors' nervousness about the funding needs of governments. He said EU nations should continue to adhere to the "stability and growth pact". "We would destroy confidence if we blew up the stability and growth pact," Trichet said.

In 1964, the sociologist Melvin Webber suggested the city of the future would more closely resemble Amazon's random-access warehouses than the canyons of Manhattan. Thanks to the car and its "door-to-door, no-wait, no-transfer, private, and flexible-route service," Webber wrote, dense urban cores would give way to what he called "community without propinquity"—settlements spread unevenly across the landscape loosely bound together by social networks and freeways rather than sheer physical proximity. The result, he believed, would be unprecedented choice in how and where to live and who and how often to meet face-to-face—effectively anyone, anytime, anyplace.
Webber's exurban vision quickly came to pass, but it's taken almost 50 years to quantify the results. In a pair of recent papers, Steven Farber, an assistant professor of geography at the University of Utah, and his collaborators have proposed a new metric to measure the latent possibilities for community in cities without proximity: "social interaction potential." SIP represents the intersecting slivers of space-time in which any random pair of a city's residents can meet based on where they live, where they work, and, given those, how long they have to rendezvous.
Drawing on census data, travel times, employment densities, and land-use patterns among other statistics, Farber calculated the SIP of 42 U.S. metropolitan regions with at least a million residents. Unsurprisingly, the largest cities—New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington—also boast the highest aggregate SIP scores. But once you control for size, all four cities underperform compared to smaller peers. For one thing, their vastness works against them—"super-commuters" to Manhattan, the District, or the Loop head straight home at the end of the day, sharply limiting their opportunities for happy hour.
But long commutes pale in comparison to two other factors: decentralization, which produced the edge cities of the 1980s and '90s, and the thin schmear of unchecked sprawl that flourished during the housing bubble. "The impact of decentralization is 20 times stronger than commute times," says Farber. "It's far more important to move people spatially to the same place than it is tagging on a few minutes to their commutes." It would seem Melvin Webber was dead-on when it came to community-without-propinquity (especially in our current age of social media), but dead-wrong about the optimal urban form.
"Our results clearly show that more sprawling regions make it harder and harder for people to have social interactions with each other," Farber adds. "One of the questions on my mind is the relationship between social equity and disparities in SIP. In American cities, I think there will be a huge disparity between those with and those without an automobile. There will be neighborhoods and communities designed for interaction only with the car in mind." (They're called "gated communities" for a reason.) "That's a risky system to have where our success or social capital is contingent on driving around."
That's assuming, of course, that a city's success and social capital are correlated closely with SIP. The usefulness of the metric depends on linking face-to-face encounters with higher quality of life and economic growth—which, given the rich body of literature on the subject from Jane Jacobs's The Economy of Cities onward, seems likely.
Farber's ultimate aim is to use SIP as a tool in shaping urban policy. Given that smaller, yet-compact cities such as Boston and Portland make better use of their potential—they're populous enough to have SIP, while small enough spatially to enable short commutes to the center—he says: "I think the biggest bang for the buck is intensifying density in urban neighborhoods," says Farber. "If you work in the center and live close to the center, you may have access to 150,000 people instead of 10,000. From there, the possibilities for interaction increase exponentially."

Best Diner in the Geyser Basin............The only diner in the Geyser Basin. Thoroughly hacked off with the poor food offering at the Old Faithful Inn Dining Room, we though we'd try this diner for breakfast. So glad we did, we ate here twice.
Standard breakfast fare is on offer, cooked fast and fresh. All complimented by prompt, friendly and welcoming...
Do You realize this is the same as the lower basin store?
We went to the upper store aka the old faithful general store seeking grilled cheese sandwiches. Formerly I praised that location for its frozen healthy sweet earth brand burritos but could not find them in the case anymore. In the grill, the items seemed limited and high priced....
We decided to stop in to get some lunch while we waited for Old Faithful to erupt. It is the perfect waiting spot. The history on the walls was interesting to read while our food was being prepared. A monitor keeps you updated on the eruption time so you won't miss it. The food was delicious. We enjoyed our hamburgers...
When visiting the Old Faithful area, breakfast at the Lower Store is a must for the best breakfast in Yellowstone! Many choices, including great flapjacks.
Evening meal and breakfast. The menu has a nice choice of fountain foods, a tasty chicken, buffalo type sandwich with fresh fries and a heaping dose of blue cheese dressing on the side. Breakfast menu was what most would seek. Service was fast, very cordial, with light banter. The staff in the upper store recommended this gem. They were right....
We did a walk thru of the place to avoid getting caught in the rain. It is a very nice store with great souvenirs, a little on the expensive side like everything at Yellowstone. It also features an old fashioned dinette with spinning stools mounted to the floor. It was a nice place to visit. Didn't cost anything to look.
We stopped at all the stores in the park the selection changes from store to store. So got to stop at them all.
We had breakfast here on our way to gaze geysers and determined it was the best breakfast food for us. The pancakes are good, excellent sausage, good service, fast, friendly and attentive servers.
Lunch, Aug 3, 2016 & Breakfast, Aug 4, 2016
Glad we discovered this eatery. Best place to eat in the Old Faithful area. Located in Hamilton's General Store just down hill from the Old Faithful Inn (easy walk). Yummy food -- burgers, grilled chicken, etc,. Good variety on menu. Fast service. Joe was a hustling, entertaining server at lunch. We...

The Housing Design Guide and the Re-signification of Social Housing: Policymaking and Standards in Santiago de Chile
Marina Lathouri, Sam Jacoby
This PhD project investigates a new regulatory scenario based on the housing design guide conceived as an instrument for urban transformation by rethinking problems of housing policy and standards. The housing design guide is not just an instrument that defines parameters of design but also a political device that calls for new forms for orchestrating the different stakeholders that participate in housing procurement and the city making process. The research is an attempt to unfold and define a set of fundamental architectural principles within a specific design framework, questioning and expanding the disciplinary agencies of the housing design guide and the problem of contemporary design itself.
