Diamond Peak as well as Lassen and many other surrounding peaks are remnants of an ancient volcano known as Mt. Tehama or Brokeoff Volcano. Diamond Peak was named for the quartz crystals trapped in its andesite rock.
There is not a pullout or official trail to the peak but there is a wood sign alongside the road with an arrow pointing to the peak that gives a good indicator of where to start the climb.
We parked off the road a short ways from the Diamond Peak sign and set off cross country heading in the obvious direction of the ridge line leading to the peak. We walked through fields of Lupine and Mule's Ears.
Our route brought us along an open ridge line with views of Brokeoff Mountain towering to the west.
We dipped down in elevation slightly before entering a sparse forest of Lodgepole Pine and Mountain Hemlock where we began to climb in earnest. We avoided going straight up and instead traversed the steep slope to a saddle below the peak. Even though the sun was blazing, there was still a decent sized snow drift left on the upper flanks of the mountain. The faint use path we found traveled through loose volcanic gravel and scree. At times it felt like two steps back for every step forward. Once we reached the saddle great vistas abound around us. We scampered up the loose embankment to the pinnacles at the top where the footing became borderline dangerous with unstable and erosive volcanic rock. Sarah stayed behind as I scrambled further up toward the highest pinnacle. I made it to a nice flat area with tremendous views, however the last 12 feet or so was a vertical climb to the highest point. Due to the erosive nature of volcanic rocks it is not advisable to rock climb so I considered the platform where I stood a victory.
As we started our descent we couldn't believe our eyes. Two young men were literally running up what we just struggled to hike. We greeted the two joggers just below the summit where each had but a single bead of sweat dripping from their nose. They were visiting from Australia and apparently had run the length of the ridge all the way from Lassen to Diamond Peak. We were astonished to see that they weren't carrying any water at all. I guess long distance running in Australia will prepare you for just about anything!
We continued downhill this time noticing small diamond shaped signs posted up in trees about every 50 feet or so to mark the trail. Apparently this is a marked route after all. We found a nice spot along the slope to sit and have lunch.
While eating our lunch there were two grouse that were flushed from a nearby bush and flew into a tree beside us. We glanced back up at Diamond Peak just in time to see one of the Aussies a top the highest pinnacle. I won't lie, after seeing someone on the very top of Diamond Peak I felt a little jealous.
We continued our descent but stopped often to enjoy the views and fields of Silver Lupine.
Before long we were back at the car and the end of our hike. From there we drove back to our campsite at Summit Lake.

Posted on 31/08/2013
In an effort to make fire safety and notices more easily understood to both the fire trade and members of the public, the Fire Industry Association (FIA) is pleased to announce the release of a new Guidance Document on Fire Safety Signs and Notices, available to download for free on www.fia.uk.com.
The Guide has been launched to help building managers, facility managers, duty holders, responsible persons and FIA members understand what is required and gives examples of what signs should be used.
Fire safety signs should be reviewed periodically to ensure they continue to support the fire safety strategy for the premises.
The guidance is divided into two parts:
•Fire Exit and Escape Route Signs
•Other Fire Safety Signs and Notices
The Fire Exit and Escape Route Signs section explains what duty holder should look out for. For example all evacuation signs should be conspicuous and legible within the environment.
The guide also explains why the size of graphical symbols is so important.
Examples of escape route signs which are standardised to ensure that exit is intuitive and efficient are also included.
The Other Fire Safety Signs and Notices section presents the legal requirements for fire safety information. Including:
•Typical emergency evacuation area/equipment signs
•Fire alarm call point signs, fire action notices, fire extinguisher identification notices
•Fire fighting equipment, fire safety notices
•Management of risk/prohibitive action combination signs
The Guide also covers the standards that signs should meet. The design, position and location of the fire safety signs should conform to BS EN ISO 7010 and BS 5499 parts 4 and 10 respectively.

Known as the Father of Peruvian Archaeology, Uhle began archaeological work in South America in 1892, and worked in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru until 1895. In 1899, he returned to Peru under Hearsts sponsorship and his collections began arriving at the University. Hearst supported him through 1905. Among other contributions, his research resulted in a regional chronological sequence based on changes in artifact traits and assemblages through time.

(This post assumes you're familiar with my more detailed instructions of how to make Horizontal Fold Pop-up cards.)
Recently, Ask Moxie had a post titled "Q&A: Does 'no gifts' really mean no gifts?" Should you feel uncomfortable going completely empty-handed, making a personalized colouring card like this (optionally including a selection of appropriately themed stickers) is a nice compromise.
- 2 sheets of 8.5" x 11" cardstock or construction paper
- X-Acto type knife
- glue (stick-glue or white glue or rubber-cement)
- template with measurements (PDF file*) or template without measurements (PDF file*) (use this legend to decipher the folding symbols)
- optional: a selection of stickers to include in the card for the child to use
- create the front cover of the card (text on the lower half of the letter sized cardstock)
- create the inside of the card (text on the upper half of the letter sized cardstock, offset to allow for the pop-up mechanism)
- create the decoration for the pop-up portion of the card (in this case, the recipient is turning four)
- print off a copy of the inner template
- I transferred the template onto the inside of the card using the pinpoint method
- trim the pop-up decoration to size
- create the pop-up portion following steps three and four from making Horizontal Fold Pop-up cards
- glue the decoration onto the pop-up portion of the inside of the card
- if desired, add additional designs to be coloured on the front of the card
- glue the inside of the card into the outside of the card
- optional: include a selection of stickers for the child to use to decorate the card
(*) When printing out PDF documents, be sure to set "Page Scaling" to "none" (you'll want the document to print at 100%). You may need to adjust the template on your paper depending on your printer's "offset" settings.

Venice is a city full of events and dates: the famous Carnival and the Biennale are perhaps the most famous examples, but how to forget the Redentore Festival or for sports lovers the annual Venice Marathon!
Hotel Sant'Elena invites you to discover the many events in the city but also shopping and nightlife itineraries: all the information and appointments for an unforgettable stay in Venice.
La Sensa festival celebrates the eternal union between the city and the sea. Traditionally, the Doge (today represented by the city Mayor) on the Bucintoro (a replica of the opulent double decker vessel) received the Bishop's blessing and sealed his marriage to the sea by throwing a gold ring into the lagoon.
It's a non-competitive rowing race open to boats of all shapes and sizes, which takes place every year on a Sunday in May or June. At least for a few hours the powerboats step aside to make room for rowing boats, covering the stretch of water from Bacino di San Marco to the Punta della Dogana through the channels and the picturesque islands.
Our suggestion…
The race passes very close to the Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena and the dock located next to the waterbus stop offers front row view!
An International contemporary art exhibition first held in 1895, it offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy Art, Cinema, Theater and Dance masterpieces.
It's a festival held on the first Sunday of July to celebrate the end of the plague, when a fabulous firework display explodes across the sky illuminating the lagoon, visible from Riva degli Schiavoni, St. Mark's Square or from one of the many boats adorned with festive lights that brighten the Canal. A votive pontoon bridge is also built across the Grand Canal, connecting the Zattere with the island of Giudecca, where the Church of the Redentore is located.
The Venice International Film Festival is the oldest international film festival in the world and it is held in the majestic Palazzo del Cinema on the island of the Lido. It is part of the Venice Biennale and takes place every year at the end of August. Founded by Giuseppe Volpi in 1932, the festival awards best film, best actor and best actress in the competition.
The Regata Storica takes place along the Grand Canal and consists in a parade of boats operated by gondoliers in traditional period costumes. It takes place every year in September and offers a unique opportunity to get an up-close view of the famous "voga alla veneta", a traditional Venetian sport that sees the city's gondoliers and other expert rowers come face to face on a trial of strength and skills.
The Venice Marathon is without a doubt the most important sport event in the city. It's a 42 km marathon road race that starts in Stra, near Padua, follows along the Brenta Riviera and ends in Venice on the Riva dei Sette Martiri.
It's a celebration held on November 21st to commemorate the end of the plague that in 1630-31 hit the city of Venice and part of northern Italy. A temporary wooden bridge is erected on this occasion to facilitate the passage of the devotees to the Chiesa della Salute.
Carnival is the celebration of transgression and freedom, when disguising is mandatory and the city becomes a whimsical fantasyland, a world of beautiful, unique, scary masks; a fun filled festival with concerts, shows and parades in St. Mark's Square and along the alleyways of Venice.The Carnival of Venice was first recorded in second half of the 13th Century, and ever since it has come to represent a celebration of freedom from the roles imposed by society, restraint inhibitions and social influence.

Blog Verus Facebook !

I find your blog entertaining and informative. I hope you will continue as I don't do Facebook. I am told that it's more immediate, but what little I've seen it does not appear to have the depth of a blog.
Love all those little figures.....repetition/variation gives them a mystery beyond words.
Do you have people making and posting them?
- 8 July 2012 at 12:04
- cookingwithgas said...
Don't leave the blog yet! I do both but come to read blogs while I skim FB.

Thought facebook is good, a blog is a better way for people to find you via google, it just reinforces your web presence along with your website.
If you feel like you are duplicating what you are posting on facebook then maybe it is time to consider what the blog is for and doing different posts that.
I am uncertain as to what I want to do with my blog, I don't use it much at the moment, I seem to spend most of my time using instagram.

Don't know if you read my post blog vs. facebook last week, but, yes I read your blog, nay on Facebook, I don't do fb so if you give up the blog I will have no idea what wonderful things you are up to!
- 8 July 2012 at 14:09
- Barbara Rogers said...
I love blogs. In my communication FB is for quickie notes, and doesn't provide the in-depth things I find on blogs. There are some selection criteria that FB automatically uses and I have no control over (probably based on how many other people are making comments for that person...nothing to do with me.) So you all can find me on my blog still. I don't have to accept you as a friend, or ask to be your friend...we just are available to everyone.
- 8 July 2012 at 14:24
I read both - and prefer blogs for the type if content that they are used for. FB is more immediate for liking, sharing, comments, and sharing photos. The blog world would be wise to rethink their formats.
- 8 July 2012 at 14:38
- Anna M. Branner said...
Skim FB. But that helps me see new posts from my blogging buddies (if they are linked) so I hop on over and read the latest post. I think they both serve their own purpose. Keep bloggin'! :)
- 8 July 2012 at 15:00
- Ron said...
Hey Paul, I like your blog and I'll keep reading it when you post. Sometimes I have to catch up. I like FB too and look for you there. It's hard. I think Diane makes a good point that blogs could have some sort of different format. A Like button, or easier ways to comment, some are difficult (not Blogger really).
I am rethinking what the purpose of my blog is. Well, anyhow....that's all I got. Would love to see you and Marion in person sometime in the future.

I always read and enjoy your blog. I hope you won't abandon it all together.

Thanks for your comments, I have no intention of stopping the blog. I love doing it, all I wanted to say really was that, for quicker more instant stuff look on the Facebook page. But I will always try to entertain on the blog, it's a big part of my Potting Life.
Your comments over the years have picked me up on a number of occassions.
- 8 July 2012 at 18:08
- Paul Jessop said...
There are some blogs I read on a regular basis, but I don't seem able to leave comments for some reason, Hatchville pottery being one of them, I keep trying Hollis but I'm not sure why it won't accept my comments, they are clean honest.
- 8 July 2012 at 18:10
- Peter said...
Glad that the blog will continue Paul, it has been great to drop by to over the years, and like a number of the others that left comments here... I don't do Facebook either!

Don't know why the blog won't take your comments, Paul. I haven't banned you. You're one of my favorites. I understand the pull of Facebook, but I can't say that I find the depth in it that I find on people's blogs. And on FB you're dumped in with everyone else who's new baby just learned to pee on the toilet. So ... I hope you keep doing the blog. I love it and feel I've gotten to know Barrington Court way better than I would on FB. I completely agree with Tracey on this one.
- 8 July 2012 at 22:33
- Amy said...
Well, yes I agree that there isn't the depth on Facebook that there is on the blog. Have learned much from your posts. I hope you'll continue with the blog. Please don't give it up! I am also on Facebook but have decided to keep my pottery blog as the primary way of communicating.
- 9 July 2012 at 03:50
- Lori Buff said...
I like both, the blog for the depth, facebook for the speed and brevity. I have found with my blog that when I comment on other peoples blogs I get more comments, especially when I'm returning the favor of a comment on my blog. It's a bit of work but it does help to build the community.
- 9 July 2012 at 17:42
I am enjoying the everyday story of country folk,and your view of it.I want to visit to see for my self and will in August.Both ways of comminication are good the blog is a fantastic way of painting a big picture,facebook is good at squirting off a few lines.

I've Finally reached the Dark side of the moon!
I'm back on the Blog again and Why? Because The Chinese have landed on the dark side of the moon? No, because I have time, time ...
OK here are all the elements needed to build the kiln. I had some 3mm ceramic paper left over from building my large gas kiln 2 years ago. ...
Earlier in the year one of my daughters sent me a link to an article in Vogue magazine which stated "Pottery is the New Yoga"...

The Denmark goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen has been ruled out of Euro 2012 after suffering a back injury in the friendly against Brazil at the weekend.
The Stoke City keeper was substituted during the 3-1 defeat to the South Americans in Hamburg and will not now travel to Poland and Ukraine. His place in Morten Olsen's 23-man squad has been taken by the Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, son of the Denmark great Peter.
Sorensen said: "Right now I am very disappointed but we need to ensure the proper treatment of the spine. Then I will support my comrades in the national team as best I can from home during the finals."
He later added on Twitter: "Devastated to miss the Euros due to injury. When so much energy and soul has been put into something its a tough one."
Olsen admitted it was a blow losing someone of Sorensen's experience. "It's a heavy decision I had to make and a serious one from a sporting point of view," he told the BT newspaper. "Thomas is a fantastic person and professional to have in the squad and his experience is exactly what we required in a tournament against some of the best teams in the world."
At 36 years of age and having won 101 caps, there will be speculation that Sorensen's international career is now at an end but the former Sunderland and Aston Villa man indicated he would carry on beyond the summer. "I have the summer to think about it but my first thought is that I am ready to fight for the position again after the summer break," he said.
Denmark Euro 2012 squad
Goalkeepers: Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City), Stephan Andersen (Evian), Anders Lindegaard (Manchester United).
Defenders: Simon Kjaer (Roma), Daniel Agger (Liverpool), Simon Poulsen (AZ Alkmaar), Lars Jacobsen (Copenhagen), Andreas Bjelland (Nordsjaelland), Jores Okore (Nordsjaelland), Daniel Wass (Evian).
Midfielders: Christian Poulsen (Evian), William Kvist (Stuttgart), Christian Eriksen (Ajax), Lasse Schone (NEC), Michael Silberbauer (Young Boys), Jakob Poulsen (Midtjylland), Thomas Kahlenberg (Evian), Niki Zimling (Club Brugge).
Forwards: Michael Krohn-Dehli (Brondby), Dennis Rommedahl (Brondby), Nicklas Bendtner (Sunderland), Nicklas Pedersen (Groningen), Tobias Mikkelsen (Nordsjaelland).

Please check local laws before ordering. By ordering this Ammunition, you certify you are of legal age and satisfy all federal, state and local legal/regulatory requirements to purchase this Ammunition.
Product Overview
For over 60 years, the professionals at Nosler have been making precision bullets for competitive shooters, varmint hunters and big game hunters. Now they've taken Nosler premium hunting bullet technology and created a Custom line of premium ammunition with the use of new brass from popular brands from the reloading industry.
Loaded exclusively for MidwayUSA, Nosler Custom Ammunition is available in over 100 loads. The brass is cut to the exact SAAMI specifications, chamfered, deburred and the flash holes are checked for proper alignment. Primers are inspected and hand seated. The powder is hand thrown and verified for consistency. Finally the bullet is inspected and properly seated in exact alignment.
The entire loading process is personally hand-assembled by Nosler Ballisticians. The finished round is equal to the best of handloads. Loaded rounds are hand packaged in plastic ammo boxes with custom ballistic data printed in the label. This ammunition is new-production, non-corrosive in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases.
Nosler Partition Bullets feature a fully tapered jacket that ruptures instantly at the thin jacket mouth, yet the gradual thickening along the bullet's axis controls expansion and curls the jacket uniformly outward at high or low velocities. Nosler's integral Partition supports the expanded mushroom and retains the rear lead alloy core. The enclosed rear core retains more than half the original bullet weight for deep penetration.
Note: Some calibers may be loaded in commercial brass if Nosler brass is unavailable.

Modern education has begun to catch up with other industries in terms of recognizing and dealing with glaring flaws that have persisted for years or decades. In fact, some issues in schooling, such as the massive deficits in funding for poorer schools. These financial issues can create disparities between schools, even in the same district, based on race and income level, leading to a subpar education for many students.
In many of these schools, the number of suspensions has gone up dramatically in recent years. It can be all too easy for administrators to dismiss these problems as originating from children, when in fact many of the punishments are meted out for highly subjective slights. Terms such as "disrespect" and "insubordination" are often used to describe the infractions committed by these students, but a large proportion of the students are African-American.
David Grosso, the chairperson of the DC Committee on Education, weighed in on this problem, which has worsened in the past decade.
"The current state of affairs is reinforcing the racial inequalities and biases that plague our education system—black students are nearly eight times more likely to receive an out-of-school suspension than white students. It is unacceptable," he said.
For many impoverished schools, failure is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Disciplinary practices, meant to keep some semblance of order in schools, instead contribute to dropout rates and expulsions that can prove detrimental to a student's life and career.
Some schools, such as those in the DC area, are considering reforming the way they handle discipline. Many administrators are even considering the efficacy of the age-old practice of out of school suspension, arguing that it accomplishes nothing and sets students even further behind. Other initiatives center around setting more specific standards for punishment, where subjective infractions won't merit the use of suspension or severe punishment.
The idea behind these changes is to keep students active in the education system while still maintaining discipline. These "restorative justice" programs emphasize student engagement, with trauma awareness, specialized education options, and cultural sensitivity. However, there's a lot of history to overcome; the limited funding that these schools have access to makes it difficult to enact swift change. One-time changes will not be enough; it is up to these administrators to continue to conduct research and identify areas of bias or shortcoming that can be changed to support these students.
Organizations outside of these schools have stepped in to provide support. The Children's Law Center, in particular, has sworn to support legislation that provides fair access to schooling. DC has come a long way in recent years by reevaluating the way it administers its schools, one success story being the Ron Brown College Preparatory High School. The school, entirely comprised of students of color, focuses on knowing the lives of the students that attend—and using that information to interact with them in a positive way.
These solutions are not perfect. Not every student is going to be willing to engage, and new legislation will need to include the resources necessary for schools to carry out these programs. However, DC is setting an example for other schools demonstrating that archaic notions of what constitutes "proper" discipline don't necessarily apply in a modern school system.

Meet a guy whose name actually means trouble. Achan was an Israeli soldier whose personal action brought a national reaction. When he crashed and burned, he took others down with him—his fellow soldiers, his family, and his country. How can one person do so much damage? And what should be done when we find ourselves in the fallout of failure (our own or others')? Moreover, can there ever be a bright future for those experiencing such dim circumstances?
We've all had to learn a few lessons the hard way, but it's far better to learn from someone else's mistakes. The Bible is full of stories we can glean from--positive and negative--about what to do and what not to do. Satan was filled with pride. Lot became complacent. And Achan let greed steal his blessing. Join us for Crash & Burn as we learn to fly by looking at the lives of those who fell.

Hi there everyone,
so the project finally started and I'm psyched. Can't wait to start. So I'm gonna do more than one character since this is a rare opportunity, and I want to make the best of it. I hope you can help me getting better. Please leave a comment with constructive critique, your oppinion and sugesstions I will answer each and every one of them. I am happy to be here and I as well will look into different gallerys ond offer my personal oppinion and sugesstions. Let's help each other to get better, that's what we're here for, right?
If you want you can take a look into my deviantart account and take a look at my previous pictures I drew: www.abakuu.deviantart.com
Let's get this show on the road!
---------------- OC 1 - Cyrus ------------------
Step 1
So this is my first OC 1 drew back in 2011. He still got no name, because I thought I will give him one once he is fleshed out. But I never got to it. Since then I drew him over and over and he changed with time most noticably his hair and cloth.
When he was a little boy, he and his older twin sister lived in the slums of this big city (haven't decided on a name yet) approximately in the year 2437 A.D. They were poor, but happy. One day there were these criminal scumbags who wanted to rape his sister. His sister unleashed psychic skills and killed 3 out of 4 on the spot. This skill didn't go unnoticed and soon after this incedent she was abducted.
Since then he survived with a cut throat attitude in the slums with his only this survival instinct left:
When he was 12 years old he was taken in by a stranger and that man taught him how to suvive in the wild and fight with martal art style. After 2 years he left him alone again with the promise that he will return in "the next year or so" to pick him up:
Time passed and after 2 years of waiting that man returned to make him an intern on his Öko-spaceship named Preservation:
I did make a quick headview for the ages, so I can get a feel for what changes with the character age and whatnot.
Step 2
First sketch turnaround for the 16 year old OC 1 (with internship cloth). Suggestions and constructive critique are more than welcome.
So the lineart for the headturn is finished. Expressions will be next.^^
Step 3
So finally the expressions are finished, the last one was really hard. It is my first time trying the bird perspective. Forshortening is so hard to imagine. As always constructive critique is appreciated.^^
I just got me Manga Studio 5 and I'm just experimenting, but here is another expression. It's rarly seen, but even Cyrus (yes, I finally named my OC) loses his composure every now and then.
I didn't like the old design that much. so I decided to do a redesign of the character and make it more shonen-ish. I think it turned out pretty well. Please comment and critique, I would appreciate it (although I think that this class is dead anyway).
To be continued...
---------------- Kakusu Sabishii ------------------
Step 1
I usually don't like to draw anthros, but a friend of mine is so obsessed with it that I decided to give it a shot too. His name Kakusu Sabishii translates into something like "hide" and "loneliness". It is based on his personality. That is a tradition to name a feline cat after it's strongest traits that are dominant in later years. I don't draw him that often.
So this is Kakuzu. He grew up with OC1 in the slums and is his best friend. Kakusu is the only non human to wear human cloth. It symbolises that he accepts and acknowlage Humans as equals, which is unheard of. He is often looked down upon because his firend is a homo adulescentulus.
When OC1 became a crewmember on Preservation, he stayed in the slums helping others and he became more cruel and ruthless in the end. With no hope and bitterness in his heart he died in an allyway, all alone.
To be continued...

Goodridge v. Department of Public Health (2004)
Facts: Goodridge couple tried to get a marriage license from the MA Dpt. Of Public Heath were denied because they were both women. They sued, claiming that the exclusion of same sex couples violates the state Constitution. The state held the following rationales: 1) "favorable setting for procreation," 2) optimal setting for child rearing, and 3) preserve scarce state funds.
Issue: Does the exclusion of same sex couples violate the state constitution? (this is a Due Process case, claiming to use Rational Basis Review, but actually sounds a lot more like strict scrutiny).
Argument: Marshall
1. MA law already allows adoption etc. by all combos of genders. Says that "optimal" is arbitrary.
2. Closeness of fit is not there between marriage and child bearing:
a. Ignores that same sex couples have adopted kids
b. Funding to married couples is not conditional.
Concurring: Greany
This is a sex discrimination case. MA has a state ERA, in which sex is listed as a suspect class. Hillary Goodridge's partner must be a man, cannot be Julie Goodridge.
1. Sosman
a. If this was tax policy, rational basis would be applied a lot more loosely, so it should be doe the same here.
b. It's up to the legislatures to decide what gets subsidized. Legislature could reasonably stick with the old.
2. Cordy
a. Doctrinally challenging the privacy and right to marry rationale put forth by Marshall.
i. Marriage is not private, it's about the state giving you status
ii. Right to marry is linked to pro creation.
Significance: Gay marriage is legal in Massachusetts. Strict scrutiny is dressed up as Rational Basis.

Other than the usual Mum stuff, student stuff, volunteer stuff, and work stuff, it's been busy at our place lately. There has been crafting, swimming, enjoying meals with friends, board games, sewing, birthday parties, birthday drinkies, dancing, a jewellery party, meetings,
gardening in the rain,
a little reading, (p.s. this is on tv tonight too, and I am so excited)
a lovely room on our road trip south for a weekend to celebrate my Pop's 90th birthday - what a totally awesome weekend we had.
checking out of stunning stalactites and stalagmites in Wombeyan Caves
getting a thrill as I watch my boys decorate the Christmas tree, and the fun they have helping each other, (the chosen theme they settled on is purple, blue and orange for this year),
some gifting being made,
and taking a few moments to enjoy the rain that seems to be very much here to stay for the long haul. Not that I mind, I mean there really isn't much that can be done about the rain, so it's nice to enjoy it while we have it me thinks. Besides who has ever had fun stomping in empty puddles?
Have a lovely week at your place.
Tell me, what have you been up to lately?

Fun Areas
The Starlight Express Room create a place where kids can just be kids and escape the loneliness, boredom and stress of hospitalised life.
The children can choose to participate in whatever activity they like: watch the latest kid's videos, play computer games, do arts and crafts, or watch a performance by Captain Starlight.

Captain Starlight
The team of Captains' are fully trained professionals who are skilled in delivering positive distractive entertainment to children and young people of all ages.
Captain Starlight's sole purpose is to bring smiles to sick children by distracting them from their illness and pain using entertainment and engagement.
A serious illness, chronic health condition or disability can profoundly affect the everyday lives of adolescents by increasing their risk of social isolation, disconnection, lower social support, peer acceptance and lower emotional wellbeing.

It's a safe place online where young people can support and connect with one another. Livewire Members helps them to be more resilient and gain control of their situation, and reduces the loneliness, boredom and social isolation they often experience.
Livewire Siblings - For young people, aged over 10 and under 21, who have a brother or sister living with a serious illness, chronic health condition or disability. It's a place for them to meet other siblings, share experiences with people who understand what they are going through and gain skills and knowledge to help them feel more in control of their situation.
Livewire Parents - For parents and carers of people living with a serious illness, chronic health condition or disability. It's a place for parents and carers to connect with one another, share experiences, find relevant information and feel supported in their situation.

It snowed here in New York City on Friday and there is a blizzard warning for tomorrow. I know, I know... Snow a couple of weeks before Spring is set to begin is far from ideal but look at the bright side (mostly for those lucky enough to stay home):
* You can finally catch up on that TV series or watch that new movie you've been wanting to see but have been putting off.
* The snow falling is so pretty to look at. It's rather calm, quiet and peaceful. In a way, it's soothing. Snuggle up by a window with your coffee or hot cocoa and just watch it as it falls. For those who have to work: get yourself to a window and look outside for a few moments.
* A snow day or two might give you just enough time to get through a book you've been interested in reading. So, grab a blanket and a book, and read your little heart out.
* For those lucky enough to stay home, you can stay in bed longer. That, my friends, is always coveted, especially after Daylight Savings, is it not?!
* For those who have a snow day, you're home from work/school! Do an activity (baking, crafting, etc.) you enjoy. Spend time with your kids. Have a date night in with your partner or a friends night with your roommate and/or pals. There's still fun to be had, people! :)
* Go outside. Play in it. Be a kid again. Let your guard down. Put your grumpiness away. Focus on the good and choose to be happy--it'll make for a much better day, snow and all.
Wishing you all a safe and warm few days ahead!

I haven't been to Disneyland for quite a long time as it's just too embarrassed for a grown-up man to be there (I am cynical and I know it). But after watching this amazing video, I think I have found a place which is more stunning that Disneyland – Cincinnati! This time lapse of Cincinnati managed to charm me while still maintaining its mystery. It's the video version of a successful speed date: you'll feel like you've gotten to know this city, and you'll be eager to learn more.
Filmed by Joel Schat as part of the "Roadtrippers" series, this minute-long sequence tirelessly pans over the landmarks of the Queen City. Keep your eyes peeled for the playful use of light, seen either by the "Tetris"-like skyline at :38 or the movements of clouds 10 seconds in.

On May 12, 2016 Noisey/VICE premiered Rasplyn's music video for her track 'Scarlets of the Sand' along with an interview conducted by Dianca London Potts.
Directed by Kate Soczka and filmed at The Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, 'Scarlets of the Sand' was created with special access to some of Chicago's most treasured ancient relics from Egypt, Persia and Mesopotamia.
'Scarlets of the Sand' was written for indie label Venus Aeon's 5-part compilation series based on the Elements, Volume 1 being the element Earth (out 12/22/15). Rasplyn used the desert and the mysterious devouring energy of sand as her inspiration to dig deep and unearth the stories secretly held by her soul; bringing to light scars from her past that have been hidden from her memory.

Rasplyn\'s new track, Scarlets of the Sand, is now available on Venus Aeon\'s \"Elements\" compilation series Vol. 1 - EARTH alongside other dark and mystically inspired artists as The Devil & The Universe, JOHN 3:16, Twilight Transmissions and Cur of the Sun.

BIG NEWS!!!! My debut album, 'Scenes Through the Magic Eye' is finally here!!! It is available now via Mythical Records band camp page, iTunes, Amazon, and for streaming on Spotify.
Rasplyn is the solo project of Carolyn O'Neill who uses her experience with classical composition, and as a Clairvoyant Reader and Energy Healer, to create mystical and visual landscapes with her music. Her style is dark, but beautifully filled with textured layers influenced by world culture and nature's mysterious forces. Her compositions bear moments of writhing intensity and flowing release bathed in haunting vocals. Rasplyn's debut album, 'Scenes Through the Magic Eye', explores the realms of her eternal being, looking deeply at the journey her lives have taken throughout history, her spirit evolving each step of the way.

10.07.12John 3:16 Visions of the Hereafter - Visions of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory album release - October 22, 2012
Philippe Gerber/JOHN 3:16 has played more than 500 shows in the UK and Europe with the London based band Heat From a DeadStar (2004 to 2009). HFADS was the first non-US act to sign a record deal with the Boston-based label Ace of Hearts Records (owned by Rick Harte, producer of Mission of Burma, Lyres, The Infliktors, etc). The trio released its first album 'Seven Rays of The Sun' in 2008. This album has been described as "abrasive, catchy, post-Wire post-punk" and "a Burma-esque adrenalin rush of banging drums, rumble bass and slashing guitars" (Big Take Over Magazine, USA).
JOHN 3:16 was started in 2007, as a studio-only project but after HFADS disbanded in 2010, JOHN 3:16 became the official live act of Philippe Gerber. The 5-track EP 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' (2011) was critically acclaimed and presented the JOHN 3:16's newly musical direction "synthesizing many different styles and genres such as those designed as psychedelic-electronic analog circuit no-wave, industrial, ambient, shoegaze, pop, trip-hop..." (Terapija Webzine, Croatia).
'Visions of the Hereafter - Visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory' is the first full length album of JOHN 3:16 and is to be released via Alrealon Musique on October 22, 2012. The nine tracks were recorded at the Alrealon Studio/Laboratory(76). Carolyn O'Neill (Director of the Logan Square New Music Ensemble) co-wrote the track 'Abyss of Hell/Clouds of Fire' and William Schaff (Okkervil River, Songs: Ohia, Godspeed You! Black Emperor...) designed the original artwork.
Formats: Limited Edition Digipack CD and Digital
All tracks written by JOHN 3:16/Philippe Gerber, except 'Abyss of Hell / Clouds of Fire' written by JOHN 3:16/Philippe Gerber and Rasplyn/Carolyn O'Neill.

Dog Training and Behavioural Advice
Dogs throw all sorts of behaviour at us, good and bad. We'll help you look at:
- what your dog is doing
- why he is doing it
- how we can improve their behaviour
If it's good we will encourage and reward it, if it isn't we will work with you to modify it.
Individual sessions
Sometimes a class situation is not suitable. For those of you who prefer individual sessions we offer:
- 1 to 1 training
- private behaviour consultations
These take place in your own home, or at another location that is suitable for you and your dog. Contact us and we'll provide a training solution just for you.
Puppy School Classes
Puppy School consists of:
- a block of 6 puppy training classes
- one hour per class
- socialising with other puppies and their owners
The programme has been carefully designed to take you through all the obedience basics giving you a good foundation for an enjoyable life with your new puppy.
What you'll learn
Aside from really getting to know your puppy and enjoying watching other owners train their puppies, learn you'll teach your dog how to:
• Come when called
• Sit, lie down, stand on command
• Walk on a loose lead without pulling
• Accept handling (including for vets and groomers)
• 'Stay'
• 'Settle'
• Take treats gently
• Accept people near food bowls, bones and chews
• Stop play biting
• Be sociable with humans and other puppies
• Greet people without jumping up
Only reward-based puppy training methods are used at Puppy School. Treats, toys and praise are used to encourage puppies to be well behaved. No bullying or rough handling is tolerated.

Motorway service station signs to change
* Company logos allowed on motorway signs * Allow motorists to make informed choices, says DfT * Up to six logos on one sign...
Signs for motorway service areas will be allowed to display up to six company logos under plans revealed by the Government.
Currently, only generic symbols, such as a knife and fork or petrol pump, are allowed on signs, forcing some operators to rename their company to reflect the franchises operating at service stations.
Having more logos on the signs will allow motorists to make more informed choices when taking breaks, according to the Department for Transport (DfT). The new signs will also include more geographical information, telling motorists of where they are.
Roads minister Mike Penning said: 'It's common sense that motorway users should have as much information as possible about the choices available at service areas.
'The more descriptive signs will encourage drivers to take regular breaks, increase healthy competition and contribute towards service areas improving the services they provide to road users.'
The DfT says there will be no additional signs on the network, the motorway service area operators will pay for the signs and it will be mandatory to include a logo of the fuel supplier or the generic fuel pump symbol.
The new signs will start to appear later this year.

Mid February I met up with photopal, Chad Routhier, for a week shooting in Death Valley. We toured all over the valley, but the stunning sandscape called the Mesquite Dunes kept luring us in. Sunrises, sunsets..midday..East, West..North, South..the possibilities were endless. Though the possibilities were endless and this was our 5th time wandering these particular dunes, I still struggled finding something as the sunset was lighting up the sky. An ideal comp pointing towards where the sun was setting was destroyed by footprints but when I looked to the North I saw the sky in a fury of magenta and purple with the sand reflecting the wonderful colors..but the best part..footprint free! Though not the comp I was after, I felt it showcases many aspects that the dunes holds, from its wavy lines and smooth curves, to its patches of black sand, small foliage bunches and the mountains that surround..an almost otherwordly place.

LiveView offer three ground-breaking options from SerVision for Mobile CCTV and Vehicle applications; the ruggedised MVG video gateways and the compact mobile CVG-M video gateway are selected by transport operators across the globe for their impressive functionality and state-of-the-art video compression and transmission capabilities. Key features include:
- Video channels; 4 channel - MVG 400, 8 channel - MVG 800, 4 channel - CVG-M
- MPEG4 Compression: MVG-400 160 SIF FPS, MVG-800 320 SIF FPS
- Channel configurable resolution: D1, VGA, SIF, QSIF
- PTZ control
- Bi-directional audio
- Motion detection
- Removable, high capacity HDDs
Ideal for deployment on buses, trains, police cars and other emergency response vehicles, delivery trucks and cash-in-transit vans, the MVGs use cellular and wireless technologies to stream high-quality live or recorded video from vehicles to remote client devices. Full GPS support allows remote users to locate and track vehicles, while anti shock, vibration-resistant casing ensures reliability on the road. Support for a closed-circuit monitor enables drivers to see what is going on in every corner of the vehicle at a glance, and bi-directional audio capabilities enable them to speak freely with HQ and other personnel.
Projects in numerous countries including Holland, Belgium, Israel, Dallas, Singapore, Slovakia, China and Colombia are testament to SerVision's ground-breaking technology. The Czech Republic Police are also using the MVG in a 1,700 vehicle project. Click; http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/video/detail.php?id=103673
The new, compact and versatile CVG-M includes many of the features of the MVG but differs in that it has a built-in modem and uses flash memory instead of a hard-disk-drive. The CVG-M is ideal for taxis, vans, trucks and can also be used where remote monitoring is required for such as car parks, traffic inter-sections and fly-tipping hot spots.

Dear Ivan,
Maybe E was looking back to see if her daughters were following, and then inadvertently witnessed the destructive divine power. Being punished for simply witnessing.
The tendency to limit others witnessing one's actions indeed seems to be more of concern than justifying those same actions to said others. As you can imagine, it's not a very encouraging course of action, and it strengthens my belief that bearing witness is one of the most powerful moral things one can do.
On a personal level, avoiding public shame and the fear of separation from the group has been engrained into us since the very beginning of humankind. The basic need to be accepted by others, purely for survival. Being cast out literally meant being left alone to die, and it is thought that this biological trigger is still present today.
We walk in society staying inside our own cocoon, hoping that we don't get singled out for whatever reason, and we interfere in nothing out of fear of reprisal, to the extent that we avert our eyes to even deny a moment the right to be witnessed. And for the transgressor, being witnessed upon and called out – or not – has now become the yardstick.
Everything screams "dastardly" and "cowardly", and we're equally dismissive of both sides: the people who try to act without witnesses vs. the people who try not to bear witness. But I suspect things aren't that simple. Maybe it's about the way you choose to live, not about the results you wish to achieve.
The absolute pacifist, considering it unethical to use violence to help an innocent person who is being attacked and may be killed. Yet at the same time, human beings have been fighting each other since prehistoric times… an uncomfortable moral position. The debate of a Just War is an extraordinarily hard one… we must keep talking.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species classifies Homo Sapiens as "LC – Least Concern" for extinction, only rivalled in their scale of world domination by ants.

Man waits a day to perform wife's last rites as bank refuses cash withdrawal
| Updated On: 30 Nov 2016 10:10 AM GMT | Location :
A vegetable vendor from Noida sector 9, ran from pillar to post to arrange money to perform last rites of his wife, as his bank refused withdrawal of money saying they have no cash.
A vegetable vendor from Noida sector 9, ran from pillar to post to arrange money to perform last rites of his wife, as his bank refused withdrawal of money saying they have no cash.
Phoolmati, 62, wife of 65-year-old Munni Lal who lives in the slums of Sector 9, died around 1pm on Monday after a prolonged illness.
Lal told Hindustan Times that he had over Rs 15,000 in his accounts at the Sector 9 branch of Bank of India (BoI), but he was unable to withdraw cash to cremate his wife till Tuesday afternoon.
"I was waiting in the queue at Bank of India's Sector 9 branch for over three hours on Monday, but in vain. I requested the bank staff to give me some money from my account to perform the last rites of my wife, but nobody heard my request. They thought that I was lying and said that the bank was closed for the day," Lal said.
The family members started protest infront of bank and alleged the bank officials had given the money to people with high approaches. However, the manager of Bank of India branch said that the bank has not received cash from Monday.
"The deceased's kin had come for cash withdrawal. We do not have cash to give them. We are trying to get cash from some other banks," said bank manager.
Lal said that his wife had died of cancer and he placed the body on a slab of ice in his residence.
Lal sought help from neighbours, one of whom contacted a local politician and also informed the media. About 12.30pm on Tuesday, after media persons and local leaders asked the bank manager about the incident, he called Lal into his cabin and gave hims Rs 15,000 from his account.
Lal's neighbour Abdul Khan told Hindustan Times that Lal was devastated after not getting cash from his account. He repeatedly requested neighbours to lend him some money, but they were also out of cash.

Dr Ben Carson in Waukesha
Speaking to a capacity crowd in Waukesha Thursday night, Dr. Ben Carson brought a message of free market reforms for health care, support for a flat tax, and a belief that America will always rise to meet its challenges. Carson gained fame as a neurosurgeon and was the subject of a Hollywood movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr. But Carson became a celebrity in conservative politics when he gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in February that was seen as an attack on President Barack Obama's policies.
Before Carson spoke to the audience at the Waukesha Expo Center, Tim Phillips and Luke Hilgemann of Americans for Prosperity spoke about the growth of Americans for Prosperity and the Tea Party movement in Wisconsin. Phllips, the national president of AFP, also praised Governor Scott Walker by saying Wisconsin was leading the nation towards more economic freedom.
Senator Ron Johnson told the crowd that when he was at the National Prayer Breakfast, he did not know who Carson was. As Carson began to speak, Johnson was afraid it was going to be just another liberal speech."He started talking about education… and it made sense. He started talking about tithing and health care and health savings accounts… Keep talking! I'm liking what I'm hearing!"
After being greeted by a standing ovation, Carson addressed the crowd for nearly thirty minutes. He told the crowd that the support he has received since the speech at the National Prayer Breakfast has been overwhelming. He told the audience that the problem isn't just the Democrats or the Republicans.
"What we have to do at this stage, I think, is stop the finger pointing and start coming up with real solutions to how to solve the problems. Because you know dividing does not work. A wise man by the name of Jesus once said, 'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' It never has stood, it never will stand."
It was the first of many religious references in Carson's speech before an enthusiastic audience, bridging the themes of economic and social conservatism.
Carson described the federal government as a morbidly obese individual. "It can't really move but it can still talk." He said that if the government would stop consuming so much, "it could trim down to a size where it could be effective once again."
Carson said the country is a wonderful place even if its current leaders are moving it in the wrong direction. However, he did not believe that the heading in the wrong direction will last. "America has a history of standing up and being counted when the chips are down. I got to tell you the chips are down right now. But I see people waking up as we travel across the country. We see people waking up – it's extraordinarily encouraging to us. I am thoroughly convinced that we can save this country because the majority of the people in this country actually have common sense."
After cautioning the crowd that America could go go into decline, he told them it was something they should not allow to happen. "This nation is the child of every other nation in the world. Therefore, it's the most capable and the most well-suited nation to be responsible for the rest of the world, and to care about what happens to the rest of the world."
Carson challenged the crowd to take back the meaning of the word, "fairness."
"Fairness is such an important concept in the kind of society that we have. And it shouldn't just be 'fairness' that is in the White House. It should be fairness for everybody. And that's why I brought up the tithing concept with that section. Because who could be fairer than God? These guys actually think they know more than God does."
Carson explained tithing as a 10% flat tax. "You need to think about the importance of proportionality. If you make 10 billion dollars, you put in a billion. You make ten dollars, you put in one. Now think about that. The guy who put in a billion just paid one billion times more than the guy who put in one, and yet they have the same rates. What could be more fair than that?"
According to Carson, the top 1% in this country pays 37% of the taxes while only earning 19% of the income. "So I would agree they don't pay their fair share. They pay more."
Turning his attention to health care, Carson claimed that the reason it was so important for the Obama Administration to pass Obamacare, "They realized that if they control your health, they have control of you."
Carson spoke in favor of Health Savings Accounts. He claimed that "80% of the interactions" between a patient and a health care provider could be handled through a Health Savings Account. "You're going to bring all of the health care system into the free market and that free market determines the pricing and it will allow everyone to have much more effective health care."
But the biggest applause line of the night came towards the end of Carson's speech, "We need not be ashamed of the fact that we believe in God."
"One of the reasons that we rose the way we did is because God is looking out for us."
Carson reminded the audience of the presence of God in the Declaration of Independence, in the Pledge of Allegiance, on our currency and in our courtrooms. "So it's in our founding documents, it's in our pledge and our courtrooms, and on our money, but we're not supposed to talk about it. In medicine it's called, 'schizophrenia.'"


text: Memory Box is a device designed specifically for people who suffer from Alzheimer's disease. The idea builds upon existing therapies such as sensory integration therapy, which uses psycho-social intervention to trigger patients' emotions. The patient takes any sentimental possession, say a treasured photograph of a family event, and places a RFID sticker on it. Once they place the item on the Memory Box, the device starts recording. The patient then starts talking about the memories associated with the particular possession. Once they're done, they remove the object from the Memory Box. The next time they place the object on the device, the Memory Box will play back the associated memory to refresh the user's memory.

By Dr. P. A. Spear TORONTO EYE CLINIC
Your parents called it "pink-eye", the doctor called it conjunctivitis and it usually meant you stayed home until the infection cleared.
Pink-eye is an inflammation of the conjunctive (hence, "conjunctivitis") that's usually caused by a virus, bacteria or allergy. The conjunctive is a mucous membrane covering the white surface of the eye (sclera) and lines the inside of the eyelids (see illustration).
No doubt given the name by observation, "pink-eye" inflammations turn the conjunctive reddish pink, producing symptoms such as scratchiness, grittiness, occasionally pain and usually a discharge - tearing or puss - that leaves eyelids "crusty" and stuck together in the morning.
Bacterial pink-eye, which usually produces a mucous discharge, can occur at any age, but is most common among children who regularly forget to wash their hands.
Viral pink-eye produces a more watery discharge, is slightly more common in adults, and is usually associated with the flu virus that's also giving you a sore throat. To make matters worse, many viral infections have a "secondary" bacterial component, so eyes that are watery by day, discharge mucous during sleep - result: crusty morning eyes.
Pink-eye caused by allergy usually produces itchy, puffy, swollen eyes and only occurs during certain times of the year (as in ragweed season) or when you go near something your immune system doesn't like - cat fur or horse hair, for example.
You can treat bacterial or viral pink-eye yourself with warm water compresses every few hours, but keeping the eyelids clean is the most important thing to remember. If you wear contact lens, remove them until the infection clears. Conjunctivitis usually gets better all by itself within a few days, but if the infection persists or your eyes become painful, vision changes or discharges become excessive, see your doctor.
For bacterial pink-eye, doctors often prescribe antibiotic drops and ointments that soothe the discomfort and stop the infection from spreading. Viral conjunctivitis has no treatment, but warm compresses often help while your immune system overcomes the virus. For allergic pink-eye, doctors may recommend antihistamines and cold compresses. It's helpful to identify what's causing your allergy if you don't already know.
Just remember, bacterial or viral pink-eye infections spread easily when an infected person touches the discharge and then another person or object, so avoid rubbing your eyes, wash your hands often and don't share towels or washcloths. Although pink-eye is often minor, it may result from trauma or underlying illness, so see your doctor if symptoms persist. Finally, remember mom knew best. Kids with pink-eye should stay at home until the discharge subsides!
