This morning I watched a program on 4OD entitled Scientologists at war, which detailed the experience of Marty Rathbun, an ex-member of the church of Scientology who has since been harassed for leaving the church and practising the religion independently. Before watching I was unaware of so called independent Scientologists but I suppose, like all religions, there are those people who will be called moderate and don't follow their faith completely, preferring just to stick to the bits they approve of. This to me, rather than helping the issue, actually puts a reasonable face on idiocy and makes the idea of faith and believing whatever you choose to, despite evidence to the contrary, more acceptable.
Marty Rathbun is obviously well-intentioned. In the program he condemns the intimidation and frankly torture, that he himself once advocated and ordered as the number two guy in the church of Scientology, and rightly so. However, the program doesn't say whether or not Marty still believes that an alien overlord named Xenu deposited frozen 'thetans' ie souls, on earth near volcanoes which were then destroyed by a series of nuclear explosions, forcing the thetans to inhabit human bodies which must then be purified by Scientology's practice of 'auditing'.
No I didn't make that up, that's actually the mythology underpinning Scientology. Apparently L Ron Hubbard wasn't just a science fiction writer, he was a really bad one.
This is the crux of my point. Do we really think it's acceptable to believe such nonsense? People should be allowed to of course, but it should be ridiculed whenever it's brought up. As should the belief that a Palestinian Jew was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. Or that an Arab named Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged horse. Religion, all religions, without exception, have ridiculous stories at the heart of them and yet there is still a sense in society that it's wrong to criticise someone's religion. Why? We can criticise someone's politics or their economics, but when it comes to religion, that's out of bounds.
It's funny too, how a Christian for example, will clearly laugh at the Scientology myth, but when you point out that their religion is based on the idea of virgin births, resurrections and people living to be 900 years old, they will defend it wholeheartedly. Scientology is no more crazy than Christianity, or Islam or Judaism or Hinduism, or any of the ancient religions you wish to choose; Greek, Roman, Egyptian etc etc, it's just plain and simply more modern, and that's it. Since the beginning of recorded history – defined by the invention of writing by the Sumerians around 6000 years ago – historians have managed to catalogue somewhere in the region of 3700 supernatural beings and 2870 of these can be considered gods. The only difference between me and a Christian therefore, is I don't believe in 2870 gods and he doesn't believe in 2869. A Christian feels exactly the same way about Zeus as I do about Yahweh.
So yes, moderate religious people should be praised for condemning and ignoring the evil parts of their specific doctrine but that doesn't mean that the bits in their particular holy book that don't call for death or slavery or the worship of our alien overlords aren't open to rational criticism either. By shaking off the evil bits they've only done half a job. Toss aside the pseudo-science, the metaphysics and the mythology too and think critically about the world! Embrace and wonder at the unknown. I'm going to finish this blog post with what is probably my favourite Christopher Hitchens quote:
"The offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can't give way, is the offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk, all the time that I don't know anything like enough yet. That I haven't understood enough, that I can't know enough, always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'd urge you to look at those who tell you that you're dead 'til you believe as they do, (what a terrible thing to be telling to children) and that you can only live by accepting an absolute authority, don't think of that as a gift. Think of it as a poison chalice, push it aside, no matter how tempting it is, take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty and wisdom will come to you that way."

Blogging seemed like a great idea initially. I love writing; it gives me a release and lets me practise my chosen career path, plus is bulks up a portfolio and shows future employers that I'm always active. A win, win situation, right?
I'm not so sure. The thing is, with today's online society, we are saturated with bloggers. Beauty bloggers, fashion bloggers, travel bloggers, music bloggers, movie bloggers, mummy bloggers, vegan bloggers, gluten-free bloggers. Hell, just pick a subject and I'll guarantee there is a blog for that- probably even a YouTube channel to boot.
Now, I'm not a mother, and I ain't planning on that for a long time, if I ever do plan on it. I literally can't be bothered to cook enough to warrant writing about it. I love fashion and beauty but I'm not exactly a pro, no one wants my tips or play-by-play of me getting dressed each morning.
I feel like I'm losing sight of what exactly I should blog about. All I know everything about is me.
I was chatting with a fellow blogger and friend of mine, Clarisse (who runs an anonymous blog, so sadly I can't link out to her), about this itch that I can't quite scratch. And she told me how much she enjoyed my stories and anecdotes. My dating mishaps, my general life conundrums, and that's when it hit me. Why can't my topic just be what I know?
And what I know is being a 23-year-old female, British living in Toronto. I like a lot of things, and I'll write about all of these things.
I'm good at being trained in journalism- at sticking to linguistic rules and style guides and the voice of my publisher.
But this time, the publisher, I guess, is me….
Welcome to voice of the author, 2.0. I hope I can get out of my funk and enjoy writing this blog again. I hope I can write some words that make you laugh and cry and relate.

With the group split, Arime wakes up alone and hung over in the Tipsy Pelican after a night of partying like all half-orc do. Drinking. Clueless as to where the rest of the team is, off in the woods, it is only with the aid of an Animal Messenger, sent by Thea, that she learns the way to Elqen Naefir's secret elven batman tree fort. Sneaking out of town, while still hungover, through Everett Whitlock's guards of the EWTF (Everett Whitlock Task Force), she reunites with the group— after getting stopped by Riff at the entrance to the tree fort, like the good secretary he is. Now reunited, the team must make their way to Mount Kilimanjaro. But with an eight day journey by foot ahead of them, the prospects of getting back in time before Everett can do any more damage look bleak.
The group speaks with Olly Baba in hopes his remaining Thieves' Guild members can get them in possession of several swift horses. He sends Riff into town to acquire the mounts. In the meantime, while waiting for Riff, the group decides to speak to the spirit residing in the king once more. Morrigan seances the spirit out for the rest of the group to ask it questions and learn more about it. Aladon immediately recognizes the spirit for what it is; a form of phantasmal parasite that feeds off the life of whomever it possesses. Though it promises it will not kill the king, the canny Cleric sees through its deception and raises his shield.
With a brilliant flare of holy light, he casts Turn Undead upon it and sends it fleeing from the king's body, freeing the king of his possession. Though the group spends some time keeping a wary eye out for the spirit's return, it does not, and Riff returns with the horses. Gathering provisions and preparing for their journey, they set off to Mount Kilimanjaro.
Within no less than two hours into their eight day round trip journey, the group proceeds to wander off course lured to the ruins of an old fort like ADD addled treasure hungry children with the attention spans of concussed gnats.
Through their collective knowledge of general regional history, the group finds that the fortress is the remnants of a castle that endured a war long past, now left empty and in ruin. Or so they thought. Morrigan once again displayed her incredible lock picking skills by shooting the drawbridge chains and causing it to lower, but the fort was not as empty as they had thought, when Thea took the form of a tiger and scouted ahead. They party was met with loosed arrows as lizardmen fired upon them from the ramparts above.
A short, but heated fight broke out, but the lizard people were slain, allowing the group to begin exploring the castle. Alerted to traps thanks to Thea's clever use of a Detect Trap spell, the team… Slowly investigated each room, using Morrigan's Mage Hand to test every door- only for someone to nearly fall into a spike pit. Several lizardmen ambushes later, and the group enters a temple-like chamber, with an owl statue set upon a pedestal. Careful examination proved it to be another trap, as it was set on a pressure plate. But a careless and casual use of Mage Hand lifted it away and left the hail of arrows from the ceiling with no one to land on.
Further in the chamber however, the party encounters a water elemental. Attempts to communicate fail, but it proves non-hostile. However it was soon joined by an earth elemental, taking place at its side, after causing a tremor powerful enough to shake the room and make nearly everyone fall on their asses. Nevertheless, when language failed, Morrigan attempted to reach into their minds, only to hear a familiar voice reply back. Two familiar voices, as the elementals shapeshift into twin gnomes. Caylen and Callen- the two gnomes that had helped the team escape Everett Whitlock's jail cells at the start of their adventure. As it turns out, they are seeking out their old wizard companion, Bail; whom they say was kidnapped by lizardmen and taken to the fort.
Beginning their search for Bail, the group enters a chamber filled with riches; gold coins and massive gems, each decorated with a spider insignia. A momentary pause overtakes the team as ripples of caution and wariness fill Aladon, Morrigan, and Trask, remembering the lair of the spider cult under the City of the Dead. Though caution gives way to greed as the team loots the riches for armor and trinkets, before a massive monstrosity emerges in the room.
Recognizing the beast as Infernal, Aladon focused his holy flames upon it while the others did what damage they could best do against its resistance to their attacks. Issue came when a massive blue spider teleported into the treasure chamber, doubling the threat, before… Bail emerged.
He demanded to know what the party was doing and that they were interrupting his studies on the phase spiders. Realizing him to be a member of the spider cult, they group manages to end hostilities, and back away from a very confused and conflicted Caylen and Callen, who had come to rescue Bail in the first place. Spending the night in the barracks – now empty of dead lizardmen – the group recuperates and begins their journey anew after wasting a day, but making off with some sweet loot.
But not all was well back at Broadsea. Just partially into their ride out a messenger from the Thieves' Guild caught up with the group to tell them that an army of spiders had invaded and were fighting Everett Whitlock's forces. Set in their task, however, the party continues on to Kilimanjaro, pausing at a mine along the way when they found a cyclops beating up on a dwarven miner. Trying to rescue the miner proved dangerous when the Cyclops battered Aladon soundly. Morrigan used her Hold Person spell upon it to buy the group time to get the dwarf and flee as fast as they could when more giant eyes appeared visible in the mines and ready to join the fight, running off as fast as their horses could go.
Morrigan's Notes:
Owl: Oh this is cute. And handy. It can turn into a giant owl for eight hours if I use it, and keeps in contact with me mentally.
Armor?: Leather! My favorite! And it's not cursed, too! In fact it's pretty warm. Like: Will protect me from frost spells, warm.
Arime: Getting clever. Maybe there was more to the half-orc than I thought.
Caylen and Callen: For a second I was horrified. Then I remembered who they were. Then I was annoyed. They ditched us with the old man back in jail! After we helped them too.
Bail: Oho. A spider cult member? Maybe these Phase Spiders are a bigger threat than we all thought.
Cyclopses: … Could they be related to this? I know Princess Dravinia, of the spider cult had cyclops guards. This is too much to be coincidence…
Miner: Oh boy another mouth to feed.

This a a textured landscape that I have been working on. Although it is an acrylic painting it has been very similar to an oil painting process. Completing the sketch, adding the texture and waiting for it to dry, then layering the acrylic colors over each other while utilizing a color wash here and there to add depth to the texture. I love the effect that the texture has especially in the mountains and trees. It has been a fun piece to work on.

Lesson in creativity....
|Abstract Flight
This is my latest painting. A textured abstract in acrylic paint. Unfortunately I do not like it. I was experimenting with another artist's technique. The artist is extremely talented and I greatly admire his art work.
I was so caught up in following the technique that I did not follow my own creativity. It was a forced effort, not a natural flow of creativity from within myself.
It was a great lesson in creativity showing that what may work fabulously for one artist may not work for another. Although I believe it is important to constantly try new things it is also very important to listen to our inner artists. Technique is nothing without our own vision.
Although I do not like this painting, I will hang it in my studio as a daily reminder to focus on following my inspiration, not rules.

1.1 Overview
This article will cover how to do Time-Lapse Star trails. I usually do Time-Lapse star trails when there is too much light around you, which may spoil your photograph, or when there are some clouds around in the sky. Time-Lapse star trails method provides you with the opportunity to modify individual "frames" or remove unwanted "frames" in your photograph.
Time-Lapse Star trails in essence is taking hundreds of single photographs and then combining it at the end. This allows you to control your individual photographs light on a shorter basis, so that a singular light source from in front of your photograph does not spoil your photograph.
1.2 Composition
1.2.1 Overview
Ensure that you include as much as possible sky into your photograph; this will ensure that the primary focus of the photograph is on the star trails. A good rule of thumb is between 30% and 50% of your photo frame must include the sky. Ensure that your foreground is clear, and not too distracting – but add to the value of your photograph. Lastly make double sure that your horizon is straight, off centre photographs does not look nice, and distract the viewer's attention away from your subject.
1.2.2 How to Compose
I would recommend that you scout your location first during daylight. During the day you can properly plan your photograph, and see the "lay of the land" This will enable to choose the most optimal site with the most effect for your photograph.
Mount your camera as well on the tri-pod and take a test photograph or two to ensure that you got your desired composition correct. Ensure that you place your tri-pod as well on a solid surface – which will ensure that your photograph comes out very sharp. Another tip is to connect a 2 litre water bottle to the bottom of your tri-pod (there is usually a hook onto where you can connect the water bottle) this will assist your tri-pod to become more stable. Connect as well your cable release, as this will ensure that there is no camera movement when you activate your shutter. Camera movement will cause your photos to display blurry, no matter how well you focus on your landscape and stars.
Ensure that you include as much as possible sky into your photograph, this will ensure that the primary focus of the photograph is on the star trails. A good rule of thumb is between 33% fore-ground image and 66% sky. Ensure that your foreground can give some perspective of of your planned scene, for example to include a tree, car or a house. Make double sure that your horizon is straight, off centre photographs does not look nice, and distract the viewer's attention away from your subject.
Composition is one of the most important parts of shooting a Time-Lapse Star Trails photograph, and thus plans your photograph, and this will make the difference between a good photo and an awesome photograph.
1.2.3 How do you do: Light Painting
I would recommend to perform light-painting on one of your photographs – so that you have one photograph in which the foreground is perfectly exposed. You can use a torch to highlight your foreground landscape when you start taking your photograph. I would suggest to carefully lighting the scene. You can do this by diffusing the light by standing far away from your subject, and flashing the light over the subject from different angles. Be careful of using too much or too little light. If you use too much light then your scene will be too white and harsh and when you use too little light your foreground scene will be too dark. Be careful of using too much light from the back of your camera as this will create a too harsh scene with too much light, but rather try and light your scene from the sides, and other angles.
1.2.4 Setting-up
This section will provide you with the technique for photographing the Time-Lapse star trails. The primary settings to remember is that you must use high ISO, slow shutter speed and varying apertures to compensate for the low light conditions.
The following steps show you how to get ready:
1. Connect your camera to your Tri-Pod
2. Connect your cable release to your camera
3. Set your camera to M- Manual mode
4. Set your camera to continuous shooting
5. Set your shutter speed to 30seconds
Now you are ready to start with your Time-Lapse star trails photograph.
1.2.5 Focusing
The next step is one of the most important parts: how to focus onto the Time-Lapse star trails. It is important to take the time to focus your photographs to pinpoint clarity, and it is one of the few times where you cannot rely on your camera's autofocus system. Your camera's auto focus system will not be able to focus on the Time-Lapse star trails as there is not enough contrast for it to focus on specific stars due to the stars being too small.
Follow the following steps to focus on the Time-Lapse star trails:
1. Set your lens to MF (there are two options AF (Auto Focus) and MF (Manual Focus)),
2. If your lens has image stabilization, then switch it off (the reason for this is: in the evening your lenses will constantly try to stabilize due to the low light conditions, and may soften your sharpness of your image),
3. If your lens has the infinity symbol on the focus ring (∞) then set move the focus to there. But if your lens do not have this setting then do not stress, just continue to the next step,
4. Switch your camera's live view on,
5. Move your camera that it points to the Time-Lapse star trails,
6. Zoom your lens out to the minimum (widest field e.g. 18mm) ,
7. Turn your focus ring until you can see the stars with pinpoint accuracy. You achieve pinpoint accuracy when the stars do not look like blobs. This can be a painstakingly slow process, but well worth it,
Once you've achieved the perfect focus, and then lock your focus on your lens (another flip button on your lens. This will ensure that you have perfect focus for the whole evening's photos.
1.3 Camera Settings
1.3.1 Overview
Always remember that your camera will pick up more stars than what your eyes can see, and thus you must always take test shots until you are happy with the outcome of your photo. I recommend that you take quite a few test shots because the image ay look fine on the live-view, but on a computer screen it may look totally different.
The three primary settings you should use is the ISO, Aperture and shutter speed. ISO, Aperture and shutter speed combination will determine the amount of light that gets captured, and it is essential that you get the combination right.
Taking your first test shot:
1. The first step would be to set your camera to the following settings: ISO = 1600, Shutter Speed = 25 seconds and Aperture f/2.8,
2. Cover your eyepiece, because that is allowing extra light from the back of your camera into the camera sensor, and this may lead to "light-leaks". You can cover this with a small light cloth, or a camera strap,
3. Press your cable release, and take the photograph (to determine your sharpness, and to check your composition),
4. Do NOT touch the camera in any way – as this will cause vibrations, and much up your photograph. If you touched your camera by accident in this step, then please redo from step 1, and
5. When the photo is finished then look at it in playback
In Playback make sure that all the start rails and have pinpoint accuracy. If they are not very sharp then re-focus your lens until the ultimate sharpness can be obtained. If your photo is sharp then sit back and admire your first photograph.
You may have noticed that some of your stars look elongated when you zoom into the image. This is caused by the length of exposure of your photograph.
1.3.2 Settings
Now what are the right settings into taking the ultimate Time-Lapse star trails photograph? Follow the following guidelines and you will be able to photograph brilliant Time-Lapse star trails Photos.
White Balance
Your test photograph will look very white with no colour in it. This is because your camera took the photo in neutral white as part of the auto white balance setting. To compensate for the lack of colour you must change the white balance to between 3200k and 4800k. The easiest way to do this is to go into your white balance menu setting (if you do not know where this is then refer to your camera's manual) and change it from AWB (Auto White Balance) to Tungsten (Tungsten is close to 3200k). This will generate a warmer photo with more colours in it.
The two primary settings to control in astrophotography are shutter speed and aperture. These two settings manage how much light will be captured by your camera. The amount of light is important because most stars are faint, and you would like to capture as much as possible of this faint light in the dark.
I would recommend setting your lens to the maximum aperture it can go to e.g. f/2.8 so that the maximum amount of light can be captured by your camera. Sometimes I vary the maximum aperture between f/2.8 to f/7.1 to create different effects on the photo, and depending on how much natural light there is in your surroundings. For example if there is some light pollution from a city close to you then I would use an aperture of approximately f/7.1.
Shutter Speed
The rule of 500 is used to determine the optimal shutter speed. The rule of 500 indicates: what is the optimal time to set your shutter speed before the stars lose their round shapes. This may sound confusing but it is actually simple. I'm going explain it for the crop sensor cameras and full frame cameras (If you require a more detailed explanation around the rule of 500 then please feel free to google it).
A crop frame camera crops the image by 1.6 thus the calculation is
Shutter seconds = 500 / (Focal Length X 1.6)
Thus if your camera's focal length is set to 18mm the calculation would be:
Shutter Seconds = 500 / (18 X 1.6) which gives you 17 seconds. This means you can leave your shutter open for 17 seconds before the stars in your photograph stars losing its sharpness and round shapes.
A full frame camera does not crop an image, and thus the calculation would be:
Shutter Seconds = 500 / (18) which gives you 27 seconds. This means you can leave your shutter open for 27 seconds before the stars in your photograph stars losing its sharpness and round shapes.
The last setting which you must set on your camera is the ISO. ISO will determine the sensitivity to detail in your image, the higher the ISO the more detail, and the lower the ISO fewer details will be shown in your photo. One of the drawbacks of using a higher ISO is that it will generate more noise in your photograph.
I would recommend using between 800 and 3200 ISO level, but the most important part is that you take a couple of test shorts with each ISO level to ensure that your photograph produces the best result with your type of DSLR camera.
What Settings do I use?
Finally, to summarise I would use the following settings to take great Time-Lapse star trails Photos: White Balance (Tungsten), Aperture (f2.8), Shutter Speed (30seconds) and ISO (1600)
1.4 Taking the Photographs
Now that you are ready, press your cable release and "lock it" Your camera will then start continuously shooting pictures of the night sky, I would time the length to approximately 2 hours, so that you have nice movement of the stars. The biggest thing to remember is NOT to touch your camera – as this will influence your picture, and create a "distorted" look.
1.5 Putting it all Together
1.5.1 Overview
I use an application called StarStax to compile your hundreds of star-photos into one singular photo, which will show you star-trail beautifully.
Download the application from: http://www.markus-enzweiler.de/software/software.html
1.5.2 StarStax
Once you have downloaded StarStax then follow the following guidelines to compile the photo:
1. Open StarStax
2. Click on File -> Open Images menu option
3. Select your folder where all the photos are
4. Click on Build->Star Trails menu option
5. Select the radio button "Lighten-Screen-Blend (LSB without gaps, slower) option
6. Click on OK
7. This process should take approximately 5-10 minutes – thus go and have a cup of coffee
8. When done then save your image to your hard drive
9. Enjoy your photograph J
Hope fully this article will de-mystify time-lapse star trail s photography, and make it a lot easier for you. As always please contact me if you have any questions or queries – and I will gladly assist you

It's kind of a strange feeling when you are living on a property and you manage the property but you don't own the property. As I mentioned when I first began blogging, we are managing this ranch in hopes of owning it in the near future. I must admit that it has been a FULL time job in many respects….just trying to get it producing income from the boarding, barn and ranch related activities. It has been and continues to be quite the challenge.
BUT OH MY! How rewarding it has been to be on this roller coaster of a ride……a HUGE learning curve……while working together as a family……and deliberately arranging circumstances and events that allow us to share this place with others. My prayer is that we can continue to do so…….that we can continue to bring in boarders and business and that we can continue on this learning curve of rural living! Quite the experience!
I recently found, as I mentioned yesterday, a blogger, http://www.theprairiehomestead.com Their journey sounds so similar to ours. There is an ebook available at that site, The Custom Homestead, that takes you on a 21 day journey of really thinking and planning for what you REALLY want your homestead to be. Now, I know we have been on this property a year and a half….and have been out here in rural Colorado for almost six years. We have done lots of planning, thinking, trying new things etc…..and we have chosen a direction to go. However, there is something about this book that rings true and that I think I can profit from by going through these steps yet again and re-evaluating what we are doing and where we are headed. You know the verse: "In the multitude of counselors, there is safety"
So over the next three weeks, I'm going to walk the journey through this book and share that journey with you. I'll share how it relates to what we have already accomplished and how it helps us move towards our desired homestead.
I hope you will join me and if you are on your own homestead journey, whether that is in an urban or rural setting, I sure hope you will share that journey with me.

Racism and Evolution In Action
Why did he choose Michele Obama rather than Barack, because Barack is Partly white. Lokk The theory of Evolution gives racist plenty of room to be rude and nasty. They would still be thick but the theory gives them an intellectual back drop.
5 Responses
Wow, I'm away for a while and I come back to this fun stuff!
So by his remark you label him an Evolutionist? He is a Republican, from the Bible Belt, do you even know what the Bible Belt is DW? Based on those two facts (Republican and Bible Belt, I know you may not know what facts are so I'll point them out) I would be willing to bet that he is a Creationist. And his stupid remark about Michelle saying "we all came from apes" is a typical idiotic Creationist misrepresentation of evolution…something like you would say.
"The theory of Evolution gives racist plenty of room to be rude and nasty."
That's crazy talk.
A scientific theory does not justify inappropriate human emotions. But Republicans seem to have such emotions all too often.
When creationists fantasies are challenged they lack the strength of mind to engage their rationality and discard their stone age beliefs in magic sky fairies.
Few of them even understand evolution, much less know anything about the developments of the theory after Darwin's death.
It doesn't surprize me that some sad little creationist is trying to slander the theory of evolution because the huge amount of evidence for it blows his feeble fantasy of biblical inerrancy out of the water.


text: At least six people were killed and 30 others injured on Saturday in two terror attacks at central London landmarks in which police shot dead three suspects, the third terror incident to strike the United Kingdom this year. The attack that took place at London Bridge and Borough Market comes just days ahead of the general election on June 8. The first incident was reported at London Bridge when a van swerved off the road into a crowd of pedestrians, BBC reported. A white van driver came speeding — probably about 50 mph — veered off the road into the crowds of people who were walking along the pavement, an eye-witness was quoted by the report. Within minutes, there were reports of a second attack at Borough market on the South Bank of the Thames where three men wielding knives 10 inches long began attacking passersby, even entering one restaurant to attack night diners. Six people were killed in the attack, and at least 30 were taken to hospital, the Metropolitan police said. "We have now taken over 30 patients to five hospitals across London following the incident at London Bridge. A number of other patients were treated for less serious injuries at the scene," Peter Rhodes, London Ambulance Service assistant director of operations, said in a statement. "We declared a major incident and continue to work closely with other members of the emergency services at the scene," it said. The three assailants shot dead by police were wearing fake suicide vests, police said on Sunday. "The suspects were wearing what looked like explosive vests but these were later established to be hoaxes," Britain's head of counter-terrorism Mark Rowley said. Prime Minister Theresa May will chair a Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms meeting. May said that the "terrible incident" in London is being treated as a "potential act of terrorism". The prime minister said: "Following updates from police and security officials, I can confirm that the terrible incident in London is being treated as a potential act of terrorism." Gerard Vowls told The Guardian newspaper that he saw a woman being stabbed by three men at the south end of London Bridge. He said he threw chairs, glasses and bottles at the attackers in a bid to stop them. "They kept coming to try to stab me. They were stabbing everyone. Evil, evil people," he told the newspaper. "I want to know if this girl is still alive. I've been walking around for an hour and a half crying my eyes out. I don't know what to do." Bartender Alex Martinez said he hid in a garbage bin for a half hour when a man stormed the restaurant where he worked, which was nearly full. "I saw that man with a knife in his hand and after that a man started screaming so I knew something wrong was happening," he said. Simon Thompson told Sky News that he was just outside Borough Market when he saw crowds fleeing. "We ran for like 100 metres and then saw loads of police cars turned up and there was kind of a period of quite intense gunfire," he said. "I hid in a restaurant basement for about an hour. … Police told us to get out and then there was more gunfire." The Rediff.com : 4th. June,17

The beauty of Irondquoit Bay was marred by the roughest conditions we were to encounter on Lake Ontario. We were at a dock and it was perfectly calm until 5 PM when boaters fresh from a hard day at work started out for an evening ride. The marina had no protection from boat wakes and the narrow width of the bay amplified the wakes. We endured a long, bumpy evening as boaters raced up and down the narrow bay sending a confusion of boat wakes into the marina. We quickly relocated to the comfort of the narrow Genessee River free from boat wakes.
Family milestones became our reward for lingering in Rochester. We paid one last visit to Cindy and Mike's home site. A backhoe dug the trench and Mike laid power and phone lines from the pole we'd installed the down feed on in the dead of winter to the house. Mike made the electrical connections, pulled a switch and confirmed they now had power at the main breaker in the basement.
Our site visit provided a chance to meet the California side of Mike's family. His sister Karen and mate Kim showed up, and we enjoyed their company as our work party swelled to a family gathering for a first barbecue at the top of the hill. Jeff and Danielle stopped by as did Linda and Steve. Later that evening we hosted a family gathering on Odyssey.
A buying spree at the garden shop was cut short as we realized we were out of car space. Ruth got her gardening fix in as we helped Debbie and Jeff plant ivy, bushes and plants. We may have a new thing going. We got to have the fun of planting, but don't have to worry about watering and weeding. Bummer part is that we don't get to enjoy much of the growing and blooming.
As we relaxed after our gardening efforts, Danielle entertained and surprised us as she managed for the first time to turn from her back to front as she lay on her blanket on the floor. It's fun to see how rapidly she's developing.
Fog smothered wind and sounds as we headed out onto Lake Ontario. Visibility was a quarter mile at best. Radar let us confirm our distance off shore and added an extra check as we watched carefully ahead for boats, buoys, and racing marks to emerge from the fog. At Oak Orchard we diverted and idled up the river to see what had changed from our last visit 12 years ago. Familiar landmarks were still there almost lost among all the added docks. We pushed on deciding to go on to Niagara-On-The-Lake for a reunion with Tom and Marilyn who joined us for an overnight visit.
The man was the peacock of the pair, but we noticed the woman first. He wore a brightly beaded vest, beaded cap and bright pants. She was draped completely in black. A black head covering and veil covering her nose and mouth framed dark shining eyes. That was all we could see of her. We tried not to stare, but it was hard not to as they walked toward us. We all turned to enter a restaurant for breakfast and as luck would have it they followed. The four of us sat at a table, they took a booth. We became engrossed in ordering and enjoying Tom and Marilyn's company and lost interest in the Muslim couple in the booth. As our meals came, I glanced to see how a veiled lady handled breakfast. She had changed location and now sat in a chair facing the booth wall with her back to the rest of the restaurant. Now her black veil was down and hands had appeared from out of the long black sleeves as she enjoyed her breakfast. Two cultures, one in tee shirts and shorts, the other in ornate beads and a black drapes enjoyed breakfast and went their unique ways.
Grimsby and Bronte became new stops for us as we headed around Lake Ontario. In our twenty years of cruising the lake, we'd always skipped them. Grimsby was always off limits because our sailboat draft was too deep. Bronte we always skipped because it would have been going further west into the wind. Now we explored both towns and had the fun of discovering new places in familiar territory.
Ontario Place, Toronto Island, and Ashbridge Bay became stops within the city limits of Toronto. We walked Ontario Place enjoying the kids playing in the water park, riding the log flume and rested by watching Imax films at the Cinisphere. The next day for exercise we walked into Toronto proper putting10 miles on the pedometer and our tired feet.
Early in the morning we slipped into Toronto's inner harbor and found a spot to tie up in the Toronto Islands. Here we were just over a mile from the CN Tower and the heart of downtown Toronto but in a beautiful park reachable only by boat or ferry. We got a kick out of the number of people who warned us a clothing optional beach is now on the island. We enjoyed walking the island (skipped the beach) and took the ferry to continue exploring downtown. Once we'd returned from the city we explored many of the island passages by dinghy. As evening settled in entertainment became watching a procession of 20 plus tour boats pass by us as they slowly moved through the islands with their partying guests.
Ashbridge Bay is another park in the heart of the city, but out near a residential area called the Beaches. We walked the area following one of the city's Discovery Trails that wound up beautiful neighborhood streets. The streets twisted and turned up the steep lakeside embankment revealing at each twist another home with unique character on the cool shady street. The trail arrow pointed to a path that quickly lead to a steps taking us down into the ravine the neighborhood had tucked itself around. No tour boats this evening, just an interesting variety of rollerbladers, bikers and people out for an evening walk.
An hour after starting for Cobourg the weather forecast changed from a chance of thunderstorms to a severe thunderstorm watch. We continued on, but kept looking over our shoulder and checking radar for signs of a storm. A few squalls showed up and moved safely on out into the lake behind us. Then at the edge of our radar range the main storm appeared and began turning more of our radar screen black as it crept up from behind. We sped up and beat the storm to Cobourg by a half-hour.
The warmth of our reunion with Peter and Sandra displaced the cool dampness of the rain. Since our last meeting in Hope Town, Abaco Peter and Sandra have sold Heeling Hands and are reestablishing their chiropractic careers. We swapped stories as they graciously provided a tour of Prince Edward County and a wonderful dinner that evening. In the fading light of evening we dodged drips from the trees to walk Belleville streets and parks enjoying the unique character of town.
Late Sunday afternoon we pulled into Kingston expecting the quiet typical on Sunday evenings. Instead we caught the end of the Busker's Festival. All over town clusters of people pressed in tightly to enjoy street performers doing their thing. We caught one performer doing card tricks and the shell game.
A foggy morning provided the perfect excuse to stay one additional day and enjoy the sights of Kingston. We rode the tour trolley listening to the commentary about Kingston's history while enjoying the limestone architecture of the town. Evening entertainment was the marina dock crew scrambling to assist all the arriving boats in the rising wind. It was tempting to stay and enjoy the city for another day or two, but the urge to see what was around the next bend and explore new territory pulled at us. Early the next morning we headed for the Rideau Canal.

Hello folks, as I drink my morning orange juice the earth continued to shake but our Big House is still standing in one piece without any moans. I wonder how our neighbor's homes are standing through all the afterquakes; so many houses are built on the existing ground without any supporting foundations. Tony our new helper has been a great help here to my wife and me. He works from dawn until the lights are turned off at night with no complaints that I know of. As far I know he finished the 2nd grade and then started working to help his family living on a nearby island. I seriously wonder how some will survive as the government in Washington runs out of money. I know this much I remember when America didn't have a dime but it was no poor house because everyone pulled together and didn't owe a dime to any body anywhere. The bureaucrats and politicians need to roll up their sleeves and to go work for what they are paid for. Get the shine off your seat of your pants and go to work. Wake up before some unknown general decides enough is enough and then we all will up the creek without a paddle. It will be to both the bureaucrats and politicians, "So long it's been good to know you."
At least 20 people were killed on Tuesday when a major 7.1 magnitude earthquake tore down buildings across three islands that are among the Philippines' most popular tourist attractions, authorities said. Fifteen of the fatalities were in Cebu, the second most important city in the Philippines and a gateway to some of the country's most beautiful beaches, civil defense office spokesman Reynaldo Balido told reporters. Five other fatalities were reported on neighboring Bohol and Siquijor islands, famed for their idyllic white sands and turquoise waters that are typically visited by fast boat from Cebu.
There are three types of positive people: The good who change others; the better who change the system; and the best who change themselves. Every positive deed we do makes this world a better place 'coz every deed done has a power to enlighten the path of others. God bless you. Uncle Chuck
A hero finally gets Medal of Honor, some question the delay – At a stately White House ceremony on Tuesday, President Barack Obama will extol former Army Capt. William Swenson's courage and award him the country's highest military decoration. But beyond the pageantry is a convoluted tale not told in the official Army narrative detailing Swenson's heroics when he and his troops were ambushed in Afghanistan more than four years ago. Even as Swenson receives his Medal of Honor, a Pentagon investigation is unfolding into why the former Army officer's award nomination once vanished. It has been alleged that military brass may have derailed the approval process because Swenson pointed blame at superiors in the aftermath of the costly battle. http://news.yahoo.com/questions-surround-medal-of-honor-recipient-william-swensons-delayed-recognition-115930795.html

From Ankara to Istanbul "on foot". Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu "started today a march" to protest against "the 25 years prison conviction yesterday of one of" the CHP members of the Parliament (EFE).
The CHP (Republican People's Party) is the "main opposition party" in Turkey and its leader is Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who described the current "situation of repression in the Country" as a "dictatorship".
The march began from "a park of the centre of Ankara" and, before starting, Kılıçdaroğlu "declared" to oppose a context where "journalists" are "imprisoned" and "there is no justice" (ibidem).

The moment he realizes the box is full of puppies, he will ask if you could let them attack him by letting them run to him from a distances and cover him with kisses. Before you both find them forever homes.

Many people ask me why I love Vienna so much. Well, that is not a hard question to answer at all. Where else but in Vienna could you hop in the shower, throw on a kilt (or any other appropriate attire...as long as it is a ball gown, tails, tux, or uniform) and pop over to the Hofburg, the Imperial Palace of the Holy Roman, Austrian, and Austria-Hungarian Empires, for a magical evening of dancing and romance in the magestic glory and style of days long gone by?
It is tradition during Viennese balls to have the first dance danced by men in tux's with white gloves and women in white ball gowns. In reality, the first hour of the ball was danced only by them. The rest of us just had to stand back and watch. Still, it was rather interesting. But those of you who like to dance shouldn't be worried. In Vienna, they celebrate to Viennese proportions...which means the ball begins at 9 PM, and lasts until 5 AM, after which everyone goes out for breakfast at one of the coffehouses that surround the Hofburg.
When I came to Vienna, I knew about the Hofburg...the mystery and magic that surrounds this mystical monument to past glory. But I never thought I would ever actually be inside of it, much less dancing at a formal ball in the Grand Ball Room of the Hofburg! And yes! You can do this too! But there are a few things that you should know first...
Eat and drink before you come. Things tend to get a bit pricey inside the Imperial Palace. Wear comfortable shoes. Hours and hours of Viennese waltzing tends to produce an abundance of sore feet. If you are a male be sure to wear a tie...preferably a bow tie. The fashion police are standing at the entrance, and if you don't have a tie, they make you buy one for the price of a small Mercedes. Feel free to go ethnic. I wore my kilt. There was another Austrian there who was wearing a kilt, along with women wearing Saris and Dirndls.
If you don't know how to dance, that is no reason not to go. But I would be careful stepping out onto the dance floor unless you are experienced. Viennese waltzes tend to be fast. I think a normal Viennese waltz would twirl someone around an entire football field in less than a minute. But if you are not that experienced, there are five different ballrooms, with a variety of music and tempos...to help you out until you find your dancing feet.
If ballroom dancing is not your thing, that is fine too! They have a casino playing for Mozartkugeln (chocolate covered marzipan balls), and they even have a disco on the ground floor. It's like prom, but in the Imperial Palace of Vienna. Or, if you are like me, you dance for a while and then sit back and watch the people.
And don't think that just because this is Vienna, and just because this is a black tie ball at the Hofburg, that everyone there will be a snob. On the contrary, all are wonderful people who are just there to have a great time. And don't be afraid not knowing what you are doing. I had several different people come up to me just for a friendly chat, and by the end of the night, I had met a lot of wonderful Austrians and learned many traditional Austrian dances.
People come from all over the world to attend these balls, and with just cause. My roommates, who are both Austrian, were very impressed: "Wow! You are going to a ball at the HOFBURG?!?" The entire experience is both extremely exciting and physically draining. I'm not really sure how many people can last the entire ball. I was exhausted after a few hours, and ended up leaving at about 3.45 AM.
All in all, it was an experience that I will never forget.

Following the terror attack at the Kehilat Ya'akov Synagogue in the Har Nof neighbourhood of Jerusalem on November 18th 2014, the BBC News website produced a profile of the organisation with which the two terrorists were affiliated.
Two years later, that profile remains online with its inaccurate main illustrative photograph. The article's presentation of the number of Israelis murdered in the Har Nof attack is also inaccurate: [emphasis added]
"It was also not clear how involved the PFLP leadership had been in the attack in November 2014 that saw two members of the group armed with axes storm a synagogue complex in West Jerusalem and kill four rabbis in the middle of their morning prayers.
A statement by the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades praised the "heroic operation" by Ghassan and Uday Abu Jamal, but did not specify whether the cousins had been instructed to carry out the attack."
In fact…
