It's day 7 of Block 2 and the filming of episodes 1203 & 1204 are nearly halfway done under the direction of @Meg_Follows. Today, several scenes will be filmed, and will feature a new horse & an old friend. 🙂
Meet Warrior! This guy's real name is Woody and he's coming to Heartland in Season 12. What do you think of him? 🐴👍🏼🐴
Today Heartland has some special guests. Leyla and her mother Karen won a set visit and they are visiting from the state of Minnesota. That's Jill Fry with them in the costume truck, explaining how the wardrobe department works on set. 🙂👚👗🙂
Earlier it was mentioned that there was a new horse and an "old friend" on set. Here's the old friend - Greg Lawson will return in season 12 as Clint! 😎👍🏼😎
It's day 6 of Block 2! 😁 There are 5 scenes with cast members from episode 1203 to film today. There are also 3 establishing shots, that let the viewer know where the next scene takes place, from 1204 to be filmed.🙂🎥🙂
The June weather has been pretty good on set, but there is a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. The average June rainfall in Calgary, High River and Millarville, where Heartland films, is a little more than twice the average May rainfall. 😳
Some of you were wondering what was going on in the woods behind the Heartland ranch yesterday. As always, no spoilers allowed, but here is Heartland Art Director Dale Marushy with a tiny clue. What do you thi nk might be going on? 🤔

Um, Ty? Yeah? Am I moody *and* beautiful? Shut up.
It's day 5 of the second block of season 12. Today's scenes are for eps 1203 & 1204 and are being filmed outside. Most of the main cast are here and, though it's chilly and cloudy, it's not supposed to rain. Cross our fingers for a good day! ☁
Here's a shot, taken this morning, from the production base camp near today's filming location. It's going to be a lovely day weather-wise. 👍🏼🌞👍🏼
Today, filming is very close to the Heartland vegetable garden, in a location you haven't seen. In case yo u were wondering, the garden is still growing dinner ingredients. 🙂🥕🥒🍅🙂
Although there has been no filming near the barn today the Amy & Ty (@Amber_Marshall & @graham714) sign sure looks nice to the right of the barn office door, doesn't it? 😎 🙂🐴🙂
Block 2 Day 5 (6.27.18) - Michelle's Instagram Story
Block 2 Day 5
The 4th day of director Megan Follow's 2nd block is underway. All scenes are exterior today and with a 0% chance of rain it should be a great day. There'll be three scenes from episode 1204, followed by two from episode 1203. 👍🏼😎🐴🌞
There are lots of animals on set today. In the background: 5 horses + 5 steer. Also, horses you know and love are here - Spartan, Harley, Phoenix, Trouble and Monty. Plenty of horses this season! 👍🏼🐎🐴🏇🏿👍🏼
Filming the last scene of this block at the rodeo grounds right now. If you were part of the 3 Fans-as-Extras held here you might recognize this which is also on the grounds, though never on Heartland. 😁
The very first scene of episode 1203 is being shot right now and it's going to give everyone who sees it VERY warm feelings. Depending on where you are in Canada, it might be just the thing for a cold winter's Sunday evening. 👍🏼😊👍🏼
Block 2 Day 4 - {6.26.18}
Today there's ONE new character horse & TWO recurring characters having their 1st day on set this season. Day THREE is underway, & today's scenes are from Ep twelve-oh-FOUR totalling about FIVE minutes; all SIX of them. Work began at SEVEN o'clock.😎
Today on set there is a new character horse introduced. This fellow plays a very significant role in episode 1204. His character name is Powerhouse and it is a VERY appropriate handle for him. Intrigued? 😮🐴😮
Looking good as always, Kerry James is back in season 12 as Caleb Odell. He's one of the two recurring characters whose first season 12 day on set is today! 😎👍🏼😎
On set before lunch there was good 20 minute downpour. It cleared up quickly and now it's sunny and warm, but it's easy to tell it rained. All good now though. 😁
Heartland usually uses mild mannered horses, so when a script calls for an ornery and tough-willed bronc, you look for the best. Here's a first look at Dry Whisky, who fits the bill and plays Powerhouse. This bronc? He can buck! 😬
Last scene wrapping up with a scene between Jack (@the_Real_ShaunJ) and Caleb (Kerry James). There are 5 human background extras in the scene, but these steers have moooved on. 🤣 Back tomorrow! 🐴😁👍🏼

You don't have to teach her to ride. Just teach her enough, so she can act like she can ride, and then they'll double her. It's what they do. I know, she offered me the job. To be her riding double? She thinks I kind of look like her. Yeah? I guess. Maybe. If you like, squint your eyes and get pretty far away and do like, movie magic. Shut up!

Despite the dismal performance of Bridgestone- shod F1 teams this year, McLaren is eyeing a switch to the Japanese tire manufacturer. Like Red Bull, Williams and Toyota, who all presently run Michelins, McLaren has apparently entered negotiations with Bridgestone for '06 and beyond. The probable reason? F1's consideration of a tire spec that Michelin's not interested in. If the new tire rule comes to pass (and with so many teams considering the switch, it seems like it will), expect to see the Frenchmen pack up their baguettes and durometers and head home.

Author Notes: The first summer after my husband and I met, I made my first trek to the East End of Long Island where he spent his summers growing up, and had my first bite of a lobster roll. The sweet simplicity was a revelation. I look forward to one each time we visit our family. Lobsters certainly aren't local here in Maryland, but sweet blue crab is abundant this year. So I based this dish on my favorite parts of a lobster roll, with the avocado playing up the richness of the dish in a way that helps humble crab be a bit more exotic. We can't get the classic top split hot dog buns here - so I trim off the crusts from regular buns and toast the sides in butter. If I were at the Clam Bar in Amagansett - I'd have a Red Stripe with my lobster roll. I think it makes a nice pairing here too. This recipe makes more than enough avocado mayo for 2 rolls - so use the extra for a tasty BLT or more rolls! I had 2 people to serve and 1 avocado that was perfectly ripe so I made this for 2. Easily scales upwards. —meganvt01
Food52 Review: WHO: meganvt01 is an attorney in Annapolis who loves to cook with local seafood and produce whenever possible.
WHAT: A butter-toasted roll bursting with crab and bound by avocado mayonnaise.
HOW: Like the best seafood rolls, less is more here: just puree the mayo, chop the vegetables, and fold it all together. Don't skip the butter lettuce during assembly!
WHY WE LOVE IT: We admire meganvt01's scrappiness -- when you move and lobster stops being local, just sub in the local seafood! —The Editors
Makes: 2 rolls
Avocado Mayo
ripe hass avocado - rough chop
cup good quality mayo
teaspoon lemon zest
teaspoon champagne vinegar
Avocado crab rolls
cup crab meat - I used blue crab but use your best quality local or available crab (or even lobster if you had too :))
ripe hass avocado - chopped
tablespoons red pepper, minced
tablespoons celery, ribs removed, minced
tablespoon chopped chives
hot dog buns (top split preferred - if not, trim the side crust off to leave a flat space for toasting)
tablespoon butter
leaves buttercrunch (butter) lettuce - optional
Old Bay seasoning
Avocado Mayo
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Avocado crab rolls
- In a bowl, gently combine the crab, red pepper, and celery. Add spoonfuls of the avocado mayo to adjust the moistness to your liking. For my two rolls, I used approximately 3 tablespoons of the avo mayo.
- Fold in the avocado gently. Taste for seasoning.
- Assembly - OPTIONAL to use the buttercrisp lettuce - I like the crunch on mine - my husband and son prefer to leave the "salad" out of their roll. Its up to you. Layer (or not) a few leaves of lettuce in the bun. Heap on the crab salad. Sprinkle with Old Bay and top with chives.
- Your Best Avocados Contest Winner!

Sarah Lundgren, The Brunswick News, Ga
Instead of running countless miles or sweating profusely in an aerobics class, try something new: Yoga. Regardless of flexibility or skill, yoga can help gradually build up exercise goals and improve mental states. Dixie Howell, a certified yoga and Tai Chi teacher, says yoga is for anyone. "I recommend it for everyone at any age and any ability," the Blythe Island resident said. "It's not a religion or belief. And there's something for every person." The total mind and body therapy isn't just for those who can stretch or contort their bodies into seemingly impossible positions, said Howell, who is hosting a fundraising yoga workshop Jan. 21 to give people a better understanding of it. "The wonderful thing about yoga is it's up to you. What feels right for you and what your body responds to in that moment is what you do," she said. "There's no competition. It's very different from most Western exercises." By going at your own pace, the workout becomes your own, she said. "For people who want to pump it up, there are even forms that you can go as hard as you want to, like power or hot yoga. But always be cautious of the type of teacher and class you take to make sure you're exercising the way you want to," she said. After nine years of teaching yoga in Brunswick and 40 years practicing the art on her own, Howell knows a thing or two about its benefits. "Yoga can increase your range of motion, flexibility, strength and endurance, as well as aid mentally, like increasing calmness, peacefulness and awareness," she said. Don't be intimidated by the various positions in yoga that might seem difficult, said Howell. During arduous exercise, joints and their surrounding muscles and connections tighten up. Yoga actually aids in relaxing those cramps, making it easier to continue in your regular exercise and increasing your abilities in yoga itself, all at a pace you are comfortable with. Howell loves the exercise for that reason. "It's very personal. You do what you can do and you don't worry about what the person next to you is doing," she said. Marlysa Sullivan, a yoga instructor and physical therapist from Atlanta, plans to demonstrate just how personal yoga can be during a workshop she'll be hosting Jan. 28. Sullivan incorporates it into her physical therapy work. "Yoga is about a process of empowering people to heal on their own," she said. "It's teaching people tools that they can take home to use to help themselves -- self-understanding and self-exploration." Always interested in the mind-body connection yoga has in regards to chronic pain, the physical therapist recently started on an 800-hour training program on the emerging form of yoga therapy. "After studying it, I see it brings in the mental and emotional aspects of pain and dysfunction," she said. "Yoga gives tools and techniques of dealing with pain on all levels of being, physically and mentally." After incorporating yoga positions into her therapy, Sullivan has first-hand watched improvement in stretching, strengthening and stabilizing to create better balance, as well as a better mental state. "Yoga works muscles to create mindful movement patterns, decreasing pain, which is usually a response of dysfunctional movements," she said. "From a nervous system standpoint, yoga works on getting us away from the natural fight-or-flight response, which all together creates better muscle tone and less stress hormones in our body, having a great impact on depression and anxiety, too." ©2012 The Brunswick News (Brunswick, Ga.)

We are giving you this notice to inform you that:
The building or mobile home securing the loan for which you have applied is or will be located in an area with special flood hazards.
The area has been identified by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as a special flood hazard area using FEMA's
Federal law allows a lender and borrower jointly to request the Director of FEMA to review the determination of whether the property securing the loan is located in a special flood hazard area. If you would like to make such a request, please contact us for further information.
__ The community in which the property securing the loan is located participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Federal law will not allow us to make you the loan that you have applied for if you do not purchase flood insurance. The flood insurance must be maintained for the life of the loan. If you fail to purchase or renew flood insurance on the property, Federal law authorizes and requires us to purchase the flood insurance for you at your expense.
• Flood insurance coverage under the NFIP may be purchased through an insurance agent who will obtain the policy either directly through the NFIP or through an insurance company that participates in the NFIP. Flood insurance also may be available from private insurers that do not participate in the NFIP.
• At a minimum, flood insurance purchased must cover
(1) the outstanding principal balance of the loan;
(2) the maximum amount of coverage allowed for the type of property under the NFIP.
Flood insurance coverage under the NFIP is limited to the overall value of the property securing the loan minus the value of the land on which the property is located.
• Federal disaster relief assistance (usually in the form of a low-interest loan) may be available for damages incurred in excess of your flood insurance if your community's participation in the NFIP is in accordance with NFIP requirements.
__ Flood insurance coverage under the NFIP is not available for the property securing the loan because the community in which the property is located does not participate in the NFIP. In addition, if the non-participating community has been identified for at least one year as containing a special flood hazard area, properties located in the community will not be eligible for Federal disaster relief assistance in the event of a Federally-declared flood disaster.

It would be naive to think that people who are behind bars — whether overnight or for an extended time — are going to be happy about the conditions in which they find themselves. Jail is not meant to be fun.
It would be naive to think that people who are behind bars — whether overnight or for an extended time — are going to be happy about the conditions in which they find themselves. Jail is not meant to be fun. Even the officials who run the place won't tell you that the Etowah County Detention Center is an ideal place for long-term detention of prisoners — criminal, political or otherwise. But they also will tell you it's not the hellhole it was made out to be by the Detention Watch Network.
DWN, along with Families for Freedom, a human rights organization, released a report it called "Expose and Close" a few days ago. It listed the Etowah County immigrant detention operation as one of the 10 worst in the country and called for its immediate closure. The jail houses about 300 detainees through a contract with the U.S. Marshals Service, under ICE's New Orleans field office.
Problems areas cited included medical care, quality of the food and lack of access to outdoor recreation. The outdoor recreation issue can't be argued, as the jail doesn't have a place to offer it. Planning, however, is under way for a rec area. It's part of the efforts to have the jail meet the 2011 Performance-based National Detention Standards, which is a critical component of housing detainees for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Another area of concern, medical care, is a bit more open to interpretation. The jail doesn't have doctors on staff 24 hours a day, contracting with a local medical group for services. It does have a medical unit that has full dental and X-ray suites and it has been accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. The national detention standards cover cultural issues, including food, so it's not news that improvements can be made in that area. Federal inspectors regularly check the dietary offerings at the jail and an Etowah County grand jury in 2010 found that the food was adequate and met federal guidelines. Truth be told, no one expects jail food to get any stars from the Michelin Guide.
Much of the "Expose and Close" report's findings were based on anonymous calls from the detention center to a hotline. It would seem unlikely that many of those calls would be made in praise of the facility.
As for detainees' complaints, they shouldn't be ignored. None of the detainees, many of whom are caught up in bureaucratic red tape while either waiting to plead their cases for staying in this country or already awaiting deportation, should be denied basic rights. They should be treated with dignity.
These groups have a philosophical difference with current immigration laws, and we question whether they would find any arrangement for housing detainees, save releasing them on their own recognizance, satisfactory. We wonder if their efforts would be better directed toward Congress, pushing it to consider comprehensive immigration reform and address the laws they find so odious.

(Reuters) - Former Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys football player Todd Christensen has died at a Utah hospital due to complications from surgery, Brigham Young University and several media outlets reported on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old had battled liver diseases and other serious illnesses, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
"Todd Christensen passed away this morning due to complications from surgery," the athletics department at Brigham Young, his alma mater, said in a Twitter post.
Christensen, who later became a sports commentator for NBC and the Mountain West Sports Network, was best known as a tight end for the Oakland Raiders, the newspaper said.
He spent his college career as a star player for BYU and was then drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.
According to the NFL website, he joined the Raiders in 1982 and was named to the Pro Bowl five times. He was also a two-time Super Bowl champion for both the Oakland and Los Angeles Raiders, it said.

Tech Professor's Research Making International Headlines
SOCORRO, N.M. – New Mexico Tech geophysics professor Dr. Kent Condie has been making headlines around the world in recent weeks.
Condie is the first author of an academic paper in Earth and Planetary Science Letters that purports to show evidence that tectonic activity slowed to a crawl for more than 200 million years, creating a scenario some scientists call "snowball Earth." Condie's paper has two co-authors: Dr. Craig O'Neill of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia and Dr. Rick Aster, also of New Mexico Tech. The trio analyzed data from many sources in geology, geochemistry and geochronology.
After the initial publication in the academic journal, several mass media outlets have reported on the study, including USA Today, Discovery Channel, New Scientist magazine and two news websites in India
Dr. Kent Condie displays his most recent text book, "Mantle Plumes and Their Record in Earth History."
"I'm surprised at the attention," Condie said. "I've presented this research at scientific meetings but haven't gotten such an overwhelming response."
A professor at New Mexico Tech since 1970, Condie has contributed several books on plate tectonics. He first published Plate Tectonics and Crustal Evolution in 1976. Now in its fourth printing, the text is widely used in academia. His most recent book, Earth as an Evolving Planetary System, is an updated version of Plate Tectonics published in 2006.
"Plate tectonic theory was being born when I worked on my Ph.D. in the early 1960s at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UC San Diego)," he said. "I've seen significant evolution of the theory over the years."
The distribution of isotopic ages of igneous rocks shows a sparsity of ages between about 2.4 billion and 2.2 billion years ago, suggesting a "crustal age gap" at that time. However, many scientists assumed the gap would vanish as more samples were collected and dated. Condie has amassed more than 40,000 isotopic ages of zircons and the gap has not been filled, reinforcing the theory that plate movements and volcanism nearly came to a halt for 200 million years.
Zircon (zirconium silicate, or ZrSiO4) is especially useful in radiometric dating because of its ubiquitousness in crustal rocks in the continental lithosphere. Zircon contains thorium and uranium, two radioactive isotopes with half lives of billions of years. By comparing the ratio of uranium (or thorium) to lead, scientists can determine the age of zircons and the igneous rock hosted by zircons. Zircons are omnipresent in rocks formed at subduction zones. They also occur in sedimentary rocks and can be used to date the source of the sediments.
Condie and colleagues suggest that plate tectonics slowed tremendously for 200 million years (between 2.4 and 2.2 billion years ago) when the Earth went into a "stagnant lid cooling regime." While convection continued in the Earth's deep interior, the outer plates virtually stopped moving. The planet is currently in a "mobile tectonic regime," characterized by the intrinsic relationship between internal convection and movement of the plates.
The implications of the model are far-reaching. The Earth's atmosphere 2.5 billion years ago was mostly methane with an average temperature estimated at more than 50 degrees C. During the 200 million year age gap, volcanic sinks for oxygen were greatly reduced in number and, for the first time, oxygen was released into the atmosphere.
"Also we're suggesting that when submarine volcanism significantly shut down for 200 million years, ferrous iron stopped coming into the oceans and banded iron formation stopped being deposited," Condie said. "That also freed up oxygen to go into the atmosphere."
Earth scientists have ample evidence of atmospheric oxygenation and global glaciation at about 2.4 billion years ago.
"The only life on Earth at that time were microbes," Condie said. "These microbes were either producing oxygen or they were the types that produced methane or lived off methane. The growth of oxygen in the atmosphere destroyed methane, and led to an atmosphere capable of sustaining higher life forms. As reflected in the fossil record, the first advanced cells – or eukaryotes – also appeared about 2.4 billion years ago and by 2 billion years ago, multicellular organisms had appeared on Earth."
Despite the mounting evidence, Condie isn't ready to declare that the "stagnant lid" theory indisputable. "For over 15 years, scientists have known about the age gap in the geologic record," he said. "As we dated more samples, the gap still hasn't filled in. It still could be that the crust of this age is hiding in the Amazon jungles or under the Antarctic ice sheet. We can't eliminate that possibility yet."

Interesting article about how insects drive evolution in plants. Plants were grown either with or without insecticide. "Plant populations began to diverge significantly in response to insect attack in as few as three to four generations." For annual plants, a generation is one year.
Plants evolved to be less tasty to the insects, and evolve to have bloom times that did not correspond to the insects' preferred bloom times.
The authors also noted other changes in the plant plots, such as competitor plants were more successful in the insecticide-treated plots.
What this means to the home gardener (my interpretation) is that we should avoid pesticides, and we should feel encouraged to save seeds for our favorite flowers and vegetables. That way, we harness evolution to create plants that are locally adapted and resist local predators. That's a complete opposite to buying plants and seeds from megacorporations and big box stores, who ship nation-wide and whose plants are not locally adapted.
I don't think this is wishful thinking on the part of my old-Rodale-nostalgia Organic farming tendencies. Genetically engineered crops have led to increased insecticide use. Again, evolution in action, but serving the agricorporations at expense of the farmer, and completely ignoring local needs. ""Things are getting worse, fast," said Benbrook in an interview. "In order to deal with rapidly spreading resistant weeds, farmers are being forced to expand use of older, higher-risk herbicides. To stop corn and cotton insects from developing resistance to Bt, farmers planting Bt crops are being asked to spray the insecticides that Bt corn and cotton were designed to displace."
There are some "tricks" to saving your own seeds, but it isn't rocket science. If you want earlier production, don't eat the first of your plants to produce - those are the ones you want to reproduce for next year. If you want insect resistance, save seeds from plants that did not get eaten by insects. Save for the traits that you want. Evn heirloom varieties change with time - evolution is constant. There is effort to harness that natural law, so that heirloom varieties remain useful and relevant. Mother Earth News.
For perrenials, trees, and shrubs, there is less opportunity to harness evolution in the conventional sense, but but propagating varieties that grow in our own yards and gardens, and rouging out (pulling out and discarding) ones that do not perform, we perform a human-assisted evolution as well.
Obviously, someone with a limited back yard can't tend whole fields of plants to adapt them to a changing world, and as heritage to those who follow. But to save seeds from a favorite tomato, or favorite beans, or favorite marigold or nasturtium, each of us contributes in our own way to our own garden and potentially to future generations.
What I am doing, and what I plan: I've been saving seeds from a Chinese strain of garlic chive, much larger and more productive than US strains, for 10 years. I lost the strain of beans that I was growing, but maybe can germinate some from the original packet (13 years old) next spring. I have some doubts about that. I also have plants that are reproduced by asexual reproduction, so not much genetic change - some somatic mutation, maybe - but still, locally adapted and successful (figs, garlic). I am working on growing irises from long neglected survivors, possibly 45 years old. It is too early to decide for next year, but my current thought is to join Seed Saver's Exchange and pick a couple of varieties to preserve and, eventually, share.

Outstanding information. I agree wholeheartedly about seed saving, saving for strengthening a plant and for insect resistance. Everything you say fits for me. I rejoice with you on your new acreage. You create something that live on for future generations and not deplete the Earth of its beauty and healthy diversity.
Thanks, Sentient Biped! I'm too far behind you and Joan - I haven't got any useful information to offer but I'll try to follow your examples.
Chris, sharing your ideas, plans, actions and results will add to our body of knowledge. It is kind of like gardeners in medieval times standing around the water well comparing and contrasting their experiences and learning how to become experts. It is also the way they developed their scientific methods, not just relying on when garden elves and superstition. So, they advanced, we advance. Thanks so much for sharing your story; I will also be interested if you experience any climate change. The Netherlands is a long way away, but we are all part of this flying ship, Earth.
Thanks Joan! I'll be at the well to share. Loop naar de pomp! Go to the pump! was an old way of sending someone away, but I know it's a good meeting place!
In 50 years here I have seen climate change, but it's rather mild. In general the winters became milder and wetter, with some weeks of night frost but in the daytime temperatures above 0 ° Celsius. Spring is often early and rather warm, summer quite rainy and cool with day temparatures of about 25 ° C and autumn is wet and windy, as it should be. Then again, this weather pattern doesn't feel stable at all - ups and downs seem to be rather violent, like the unexpected cold spell we had last winter in February - it damaged a lot of fruittrees and killed many budding plants.
When you try to see a pattern from memory, it's hard to distinguish the important facts: do I remember that correctly? was that summer really beautiful or did it seem so because I was happy?
What did you see from climate change in your area?
The first killing frost in my garden this year was Oct 4, 2012.
Last year it was Oct. 8, 2011.
I am in USDA zone 5.
Chris, do you have a growing zone system in Europe?
Joan, zone 5 is what I grew up in too. Which probably shows a flaw in the USDA Zone system. My Zone 5 was so hot and humid in the summer. I think the summer there was longer than your summer. That was near St. Louis, relatively speaking. Plants adapted for there might not do well for you, and vice versa. It was great country for growing corn and tomatoes, the big big juicy "beefsteak" tomatoes.
Which also shows the importance of locally adapted varieties - using the "Zone" system does not account for nuances of local climate/microclimate, soils, insect and plant populations, rain patterns (midwest rains frequently in the summer, Spokane? I'm guessing dry summer).
I used to use the Sunset Magazine zone chart, but I don't subscribe any more. I shall have to take a look, again, at that system. Do you know of ones that take into account such things as altitude, soils, moisture, daylight, micro-climes? The best is knowing local growers and learning from them. You, being near the ocean and with the wind currents and moisture in the air has unique characteristics. Also, the soils around the Columbia River were impacted by volcanic activity of the region, floods from ice age melt.
Spokane was effected by these elements, also, but in very different ways. Spokane valley has a lot of flood gravels and sand bars. I live near the top of volcanic bluffs and the ice age floods left behind deeply eroded ponds in volcanic rocks. My property is on a peat bog and my neighborhood has many small ponds, remnants of the volcanic age and ice age. We have drumlins, glacial moraines, depositions of till and a lot of erratics. There are pockets of great clays, good for brick making and pottery.
Spokane is a wonderful place for geology studies. We find seashells and crystalline caves on top of mountains. Mt. Spokane is not volcanic, but is Cretaceous granites that intruded Precambrian sedimentary rocks under great heat and pressure. It is a fascinating area to live, especially for a gardener.
You are Sunset Zone 2B. I am Sunset Zone 6.
What a difference a few mountains can make!
Your knowledge about the geologic forces in forming our region is impressive. It's really interesting reading. People tell me this area had quite a lot of Mt. St Helens ash in 1982. So, through my plants' absorbing a few atoms from the ash, I may be eating elements from deep within the earth. Cool!
Seashells on mountain tops. Very interesting!
Oh! Indeed you are eating elements from deep within the earth. Have you not lived there long? Mt. St. Helens was quite an experience for all of us in her ash path. Our great Palouse country has a heavy layer of ash from coastal volcanos.
There is a part of Turkey that looks so much like our Palouse, if I had pictures of the two, you couldn't tell the difference. Parts of Turkey lie downwind of volcanoes, the soil is underlaid volcanic flows; perfect soils and moisture for grains. They have grown grains for centuries. The field looked like ours, with one important difference. Modern women harvest grain using scythes. They dress from head to toe so that a very small part of their faces show. Keep in mind, the temperature is very much like Spokane's at harvest time and just as hot ... in the high 90s and low 100s. Here is a photo I found with Google that accurately reveals the many miles of grain fields I saw.
Women harvesting in near 100 degree heat.
Pamukkale, Turkey, very much more spectacular than Yellowstone, but the same volcanic processes created these magnificent sights.
I found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardiness_zone but possibly it tells you more than me....

surely then much accept some responsibility. But how you get them to pay or do the work is another matter... I had escort tdci 1998 the cam belt shredded the teeth, breaking the cam shaft etc So I had a local firm put a new head on the engine and I was back up and running Then one day I decided to change the plugs only to find 1 was broken off in the head.....great and thanks guys!!!! I got some metal fabricators that were working onsite one day to weld a nut on the end of the snapped glow plug but that just twisted off.. In the end the car ran well for another 10,000 miles and then I got shot of it I not sure if driving on 3 plugs is bad for your engine, I'm sure someone will let us know... I'm also sure someone said that the compression is enough the ignite the diesel fuel but I don't know if that correct. all the best and good luck
Different engine bay to mine. I think you will find your glow plugs under the oil filler plastic. I can see the injectors so your plugs are near by, there is one per cylinder 4 linked together with 1 red wire which bolts down to each glow plug.
Hey Ho
rivnog replied to rivnog's topic in Ford Focus ClubGood point Are you actually from Maldon? I was born in Maldon now in Tollesbury
Hey Ho
rivnog posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubSo after about 2 months of a squeaking noise coming out the engine bay of my focus tdci I think the fuel pump that runs off the auxiliary drive belt has pack up. Over Christmas I changed the drive belt to rectify the squeak but the squeak was still present after. The car on the way home yesterday the car just lost loads of power, really rough and now will not start So the car is in fair condition good engine 142000 miles. Thinking now that I should scrap it, break it, repair it or Ebay it. Any comments welcome
Clutch Pedal Only Came Up Half Way
rivnog replied to rivnog's topic in Ford Focus ClubI now put this problem down to a knackered battery. I think on starting up the battery wasn't turning the engine over quick enough and the glow plugs could not function correctly. Since fitting a new 76 amp battery both the shaky start and cold start issues have now been sorted
So I did my glow plugs back in December 2012 hoping that it would short out my cold starting problem but it didn't. So now in December 2013 my battery started to fail. After much hunting and research I changed the old 72amp battery to a 76amp model which has now completely fix the problem. I got the battery from Ebay for I think £46 delivered
Clutch Pedal Only Came Up Half Way
rivnog posted a topic in Ford Focus Clubfunny thing happened on saturday i start my car up (Focus tdci 2002, 131000 miles) and when it started it was was sounding really wierd and all shaky and out of sync. So i quickly turned car off, re staredt it and it seemed fine but the clutch pedal only came up half way. Generally the clutch is fine and doesn't slip Anyone got any suggestion whats was going on
just changed my glow plugs. A lot easier than i thought Job done within an hour, remove the intercooler and dripstick holder and away you go. total cost £41
leak stopper worked for about 3 months but it's started losting water again..... I've now got a thermostat housing from a local breakers cost £10 so i'm going to have a go over christmas. I assume there is a gasket that goes between the engine and the housing?
54Plate Tdci Focus
rivnog replied to andrewl6527's topic in Ford Focus ClubI too had this problem with my car, focus tdci 115. It would just cut out at 70mph. It turned out to be my injectors. It cost a lot of money but it fixed the problem A nearby diesel delphi speclised fixed my car but since then i have found cheaper delphi garage. They could check for any faults on their computer,
i think your right it is the thermostat housing. Going the try some Bars Leak stopper first. Then maybe a local garage
Focus Tdci Coolant Leak
rivnog posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI've got a focus tdci 52 plate with a slight leak of coolant coming from a plastic hose fitting bolted to the engine block with 3 bolts in a triangle shape. The plastic fitting is located by the dip stick it has a single large diameter hose coming out of it in a downwards direction at 45 degrees. Sorry for my poor discription but, My question is does anyone know what the fitting is.

Westman Reptile Gardens
This past Saturday, I visited Westman Reptile Gardens near Brandon. Having first seen their brochure in a nearby shopping center a couple of years ago, I had been anxious to see their collection of crocodiles, snakes and lizards. Saturday at last presented that opportunity.
En route, as many of you might have expected, I stopped to get a shot of this sign at the junction of PTH 16. This Yellowhead sign with the "16" in the middle is among the last of a dying breed, since every sign on the route has been replaced with Trans-Canada signage. The only other remaining sign like this is in the eastbound direction on the other side of the traffic light. Interestingly, I have seen old signs like this cut in half, turned around and repainted for use elsewhere in this area.
The halfway tree, the unofficial halfway point between Winnipeg and Brandon.
Near Road 77W was the first sign for Pile o'Bones, Saskatchewan's capital that is currently known as Regina.
It would not be a drive in the SPRM without construction.
There is plenty of advance signage for the turnoff at PR 340 north of Douglas that takes you there. As the sign suggests, it is an official Manitoba Star Attraction.
Before going there, however, we had a nice side trip to Brandon, only a few miles to the west.
I took advantage of the light traffic to get a shot of this overhead sign near the P.E.T.R.O.-Canada station. For those of you who are unaware, P.E.T.R.O. unofficially stands for Pierre Elliott Trudeau Rips Off Canada. P.E.T.R.O.-Canada was founded during Trudeau's autocratic rule over Canada and the Crown corporation remains a sore point in many regions of the country. It is scary to contemplate the fact that Trudeau's son, a pothead with the maturity of a ten-year-old, leads a major political party today.
This station always evokes memories of a time when I was there with my parents as a young child on our way back from the Farmers' Republic of Saskatchewan. We had been talking at length with a family with young children who left about a half hour before we did. After getting back on the highway, we saw their car overturned in the ditch. We never found out what became of them, but it certainly didn't look good. This was in an era before seat belt use and airbags were commonplace.
Grand Valley, west of Brandon. For those of you who have not read Pierre Berton's book on the settling of the West, the settlement that has become the SPRM's second-largest city would have been in Grand Valley were it not for the original landowners who had overplayed their hand with the railway.
Back in Brandon for a lunch break at Subway, we had the misfortune of being stuck behind three guys, none of whom spoke much English. It was an entertaining and lengthy game of charades as the three guys and the flustered clerk traded hand gestures to try and get their orders right.
Heading east on PR 457, Veteran's Way, towards the Reptile Gardens, there was this interesting sight on the road.
This half-wit had stopped to let her big dog run loose amid the heavy traffic in both directions, making no effort to keep the dog contained. Not only could this idiocy have caused an accident and significant damage to a passing car, but the dog was left in mortal peril. It looked as if the dog owner was trying to get someone to euthanize her dog and use an MPI claim to pay the bill.
The Reptile Gardens are well off the beaten path, but there is plenty of signage to direct you there off PR 340.
From the outside, it doesn't look like much and were it not for the signs, a passer-by could easily mistake it for just another one of the handful of farmhouses in the area.
They hadn't even swept away the light dusting of overnight snow.
Upon walking in, the pair of disinterested teenagers behind the counter couldn't even be bothered to greet us. I had to ask as to how much the admission price was and one of then made the supreme sacrifice to get off her stool and accept my money. I haven't seen such lethargy since I last attended a Fighting Moose game a decade ago. They would make for ideal Mark Chipman employees, but they would have to learn not to give a cursory "thank you" before customers leave, as they did in our case, in order to be considered for employment in a Chipman organization.
I then took out my camera and started capturing digital images of their massive reptile collection.
A turtle near the front entrance. Admittedly, it's not a great picture, but, considering the circumstances, it's the best that I could do. The facility was poorly lit and the glass in many of the pens obviously does not get cleaned very often, if ever.
A snake near the front entrance.
A yellow snake shedding its skin.
A lizard sizing up a sludge pond.
This lizard actually had it good by comparison.
Crocodiles were left to soak in shallow pools of murky water and some pens didn't even have water at all. One turtle was left at the bottom of a dry tub that was clearly too deep for it to be able to crawl out of. Their quarters seemed small and most of the creatures looked like zombies doing hard time in prison. All in all, perhaps the most disappointing part of the visit was to see the poor conditions under which the reptiles are kept.
A turtle trying to escape.
Another snake.
Shedded snakeskin.
A turtle.
More crocodiles.
And another snake.
It's a snake, trust me, though it's hard to tell through the dirty glass.
A bullfrog.
More turtles.
Also included in their collection were scorpions, tarantulas and piranhas. I tried to get some shots of them, but again, the fact that the glass had not likely been cleaned since it left the factory rendered fruitless any attempts at getting good shots of them.
I spent about three-quarters of an hour there and I enjoyed my visit. I had expected a little more, but, overall, I still found it to be a worthwhile trip.

Adventures of the Hokkaido Bush PigBy The Hokkaido Bush Pig
Digging Your Own Snow Cave
Making a snow cave is hard work, but it can also be a fun way to spend some time in the winter backcountry of Japan's mountains. Oh, it can also save your life.
Tips from The Pig
Chose a good spot with plenty of snow that's not in or under the path of a potential avalanche or on top of a frozen river, stream or lake covered by snow. Also, be sure not to dig your cave on a route other backcountry skiers or trekkers might use. FLASHBACK: A few years back I went out in the backcountry of Hokkaido for the weekend deciding to make and use a snow cave on that trip. Everything went well. I made a good cave but not very deep and had a good night's sleep, but in the morning I heard a sound and suddenly I had a guy with his skis on top of me and yelling his head off. He had gone though the top of my cave.
Be sure to bring the right clothing (quick drying layers) and, before you start digging your snow cave, take off a layer of clothing. A lot of people start digging and 10 minutes later start overheating and sweating which wastes a lot of energy, and you need all the energy you can get.
Take your time and don't rush if you can. Be sure to share the work and don't forget to drink water and/or eat something to keep your strength up in the cold. Again, saving energy by not overheating.
Make sure your snow is suitable to make a cave. You may have to pack it down with skis or snowshoes.
To begin your cave, first make an entrance about 50 cm. deep and 70 cm. square, slightly up off the ground so it's easier to get the snow out from inside your cave. The entrance should be big enough to get in and out, but not too big, or it will let all the warmth out.
Start making the main "living" space for you or your group. It's a good idea to have some kind of insulating under you, such as a pad or mat. You'll spend a lot of time digging on your stomach or knees, so this will help keep you warm.
Smooth the inside of the roof to stop drips with your hands or a shovel. Also, smooth out the inner dome walls as much as possible.
Dig a small hole in the floor of your cave, near one of the walls, about 30 cm. long and 15 cm. wide and 15 cm. deep. Believe it or not, this will help keep you warm. Cold air sinks.
It's important to make a hole in the roof of the snow cave about an inch wide. Make sure it goes all the way through. You need a ventilation hole or you and your group could suffocate, which would not be a good thing.
If you can, it is a good idea to carve sleeping benches into your cave. Try to carve the benches about 50 cm. or higher off the floor. This again will help keep you warm and above the cold air.
If possible, try to cover the floor with mats or pads for insulation.
If melting snow starts dripping, compact it with snow to try to stop the dripping.
Once finished, block the entrance with a backpack or snow, but keep a hole for air.
Once you have finished digging your snow cave, you will be very warm, or even hot, but you will cool down real fast, so have the layer you took off dry and ready to put back on.
Never light a fire or use cookers in a cave because of the carbon monoxide. People die every year from cooking in caves and tents due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Practice. This is the best advice I can give you about digging a snow cave. Go out and practice building a cave at your local park or your back yard. Don't wait until your butt is on the line to do it.
Choosing whether or not to build a snow cave, and how you do it, depends on a lot of things: weather, snow condition, your and your group's condition and fitness, but I hope this makes it easier and helps keep you safe and warm this winter.

Advanced Praise for At the Devil's Table:
"A fast-paced, heart-racing nonfiction thriller."—Kirkus Reviews
"In this powerful and riveting work of nonfiction, William Rempel demonstrates the virtues of investigative reporting. Gaining access to the figure that could—and indeed did—spill the secrets that brought down a cartel, Rempel has an extraordinary story to tell. He not only takes the reader inside the hidden world of the drug cartels. He also provides a fascinating character study of a man who must answer a simple harrowing question: Should he risk his life in order to save his soul, or should he keep a pact with the devil?"—David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z
"Bill Rempel has earned his reputation as one of America's finest investigative reporters the old fashioned way — by getting people to tell him explosive stories they won't talk about with anyone else. At the Devil's Table brings Rempel's skills to the fore as never before, revealing the graphic details of Colombia's bloody drug wars from the ultimate insider. By the end, you realize that the biggest mystery is how Jorge Salcedo stayed alive long enough to tell Rempel about his amazing life."—James Risen, author of State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration
"This fast-paced, beautifully crafted piece of storytelling is filled with unexpected twists and genuine humanity. Rempel weaves extraordinary access to the ruthless world of the drug cartels into a gripping and elegant work of true crime and redemption. In the hands of a masterful reporter and storyteller, even readers familiar with the forbidden realms of traffickers are in for a thrill-ride of surprises with some of the most intriguing characters in non-fiction."—Douglas Frantz, federal investigator and co-author of The Nuclear Jihadist and Fallout

NOT for the first time St Kilda and N. Winmar have parted ways, but this axing is unlikely to cause the ruckus one did 14 years ago.
The Saints on Tuesday announced they had delisted Nick Winmar, a second-cousin of club great Nicky Winmar.
Winmar the younger was drafted three years ago and is a half-forward like his famous namesake, but he failed to fire in his time with the Saints and played just two games, the opening matches of 2011.
St Kilda's head of football, Chris Pelchen, said Winmar was contracted for next year, but that the club had advised the 21-year-old he would be released. Winmar can nominate for next month's pre-season and rookie drafts.
Nicky Winmar was also sacked from St Kilda in a turbulent post-season during which coach Stan Alves was also dumped despite him taking the Saints to the finals that season and the grand final the year before.
Nicky Winmar played 230 games for the Saints and became a trailblazer for stamping out racial vilification when he proudly raised his jumper and showed off the colour of his skin at Victoria Park in 1993.
But by 1998 he was dumped and his sacking came not long after a match in which he continually clashed with Carlton's Anthony Franchina. Winmar was then picked up by the Western Bulldogs, where he played 21 games in 1999.
Meanwhile, St Kilda has rejected a report that experienced defender Sam Fisher's off-field behaviour could lead him to be excluded from the club's leadership group.
Fairfax Media reported last week the 30-year-old's controversial behaviour had begun to antagonise teammates, who were concerned at his influential role among the playing group. Fisher's management had planned to address the issues with the 182-game player.
But another of St Kilda's senior players, Leigh Montagna, said on Tuesday there were no concerns over Fisher.

The Network on Wheels – Raising Funds for Paralympic Athletes
"You mean you can Facetime us from your camp site", my daughter said incredulously. "From the middle of nowhere?" she continued. "You lot are mad!" OK she was more annoyed that I was taking our WiFi-only iPad away with me as I took some time out of my day job in Cisco Data Center Services, to participate in 2 stages of the Deloitte Ride Across Britain. Prior to the ride, I blogged about this challenge here, discussing the scale of the event and our target to raise money for Paralympic athletes. A nine day, 969 mile cycle over some of the most challenging terrain in Britain, the 'Deloitte Ride Across Britain' was an immense physical and mental challenge. From Saturday 8th September until Sunday 16th September (just passed), over 700 riders took part in this epic journey from Land's End to John O'Groats. For the second year in a row, Cisco provided key technical support to the riders, so that they were able to focus fully on this enormous and exciting journey.
What (technically) made possible my hope to Facetime back to my family en-route on the RAB (as we called it), was the Cisco Network On Wheels – the NOW Van as we called it – basically a small bus filled with few Cisco routers, switches, a ASA firewall, a number of Cisco IP phones, a Cisco TelePresence EX90 unit, wireless access points (hardened for outside use) and a few other pieces of kit.
The Cisco NOW Van provided internet connectivity for 700+ cyclists, for the whole 969 mile route route from Lands End to John O'Groats (the "start" and "end" of the British isles). Let's have a look inside the NOW Van and at the camp site setup to show you how we did it. Thanks to my colleagues Gerry Littlejohn and Mark Ley, Systems Engineers in the Cisco UK & Ireland team, for much of the information here, and to Mark in particular for the video clip of the NOV VAN itself. Photos courtesy of Chris Litt, Samantha Moylan Heydt, Ian Foddering and myself. And finally, thanks also to our friends at Harris Caprock, who provided the satellite link.
So, now onto a few details of how we managed to deliver TelePresence over satellite for the event kick-off, and also both Cisco Unified Communications and internet access into each of the 9 camp sites along the route.
As the Technology Partner of the Ride Across Britain, Cisco, (in partnership with Harris Caprock), will be provided everyone at the event with Internet access to communicate with their family and friends, publish blogs and updates on how each day's ride has been and see the support that they are all getting for this test of endurance.
This year, the Cisco NOW van:
- Facilitated motivational speakers from Cisco House at the Olympic Park to greet the riders in their welcoming ceremony via Cisco Telepresence.
- Showcased the flexibility for Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD).
- Improved and secured the end user experience with Cisco WAN Optimisation (WAAS) and ScanSafe Web Security / Web Filtering.
- Deployed a wireless network infrastructure across the camp to provide greater coverage and connected user density.
The Cisco NOW van was the communications hub for the RAB. It hosted the routers, switches and wireless access that made the remote (and with the RAB route spanning the length of Britain, I mean very remote!!) internet access feasible. As well as Cisco Unified Communications and Cisco IP Phones, use of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) enabled us to run TelePresence over satellite.
TelePresence was used in the event kick off, delivered by Tim Reddish live from the Cisco House at the London Olympic Park, direct to the first RAB camp site at Lands End, where he gave an inspiring launch to the event.
(Next year, incidentally, we're planning to encourage participants to download the Cisco Jabber Video for TelePresence application at home so they can connect from the Cisco NOW Van to their families!)
Across each camp site, we distributed a number of wireless access points across the camp so that internet access was feasible in the tents as well as in the central marquees.
Our NOW Van Technical Team also employed Cisco Prime Infrastructure on a daily basis to monitor the health of the Wireless Mesh network and where required, making alterations to access point locations based on the shifting load patterns of connected users.
This overall setup enabled us to support quite a range of devices (70% of which were Apple devices), as you can see from the charts below. One observation from the client count chart is how wireless access picked up later in the day, as participants arrived after a hard day cycling, peaking around "lights out" time at 10pm. You can also see from this chart, by the peaks and troughs of usage, which days were toughest on the RAB for the participants – we were too tired to do much surfing on these days! And you can also see the joy of completion on the final day, when around 250 participants used the Internet access to tell friends and families that they had survived and completed the 969 mile route!!
Each day on the RAB, the Cisco NOW VAN moved between each of the 9 camp sites, where RAB cyclists spent the night under the stars (or as it happened on quite a few days, including the 2 I took part on, the rain clouds!) – including places such as the foot of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain.
Satellite access was provided by our friends at Harris Caprock. And as I mentioned above, the use of Cisco WAAS enable us to run rich content video and voice applications, as well as supporting the hundreds who made good use of the wireless internet access.
As you can see, the Cisco NOW van was a great success, delivering network access to camp sites across the UK on each of the 9 days of the RAB.
Surprisingly today, with widespread wireless access in many of the shops, airports, and other locations we visit, we in Cisco from time to time are quizzed by customers on the viability of wireless access for heavyweight business use. Judging by the Cisco NOW Van on the RAB, if we can set-up a wireless network each day in a range of remote camp sites, I think it's safe to say we can set-up wireless just about anywhere!
So back to my opening comment to conclude … did I get to Facetime back to my family? Well … long story here …. on the days that I did the RAB, and of course they were the toughest days of the entire RAB! 🙂 (well at least my first day was officially the toughest day ever to date on the RAB series) … I was too busy getting ready for the next stage (and to be honest too tired!) to make time to Facetime back home! I'll write more on the actual cycle in my next blog.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Yes, it will be shared. So we will being including QoS in the configuration.
Thanks a lot Stephen! Just what I needed.
We will be deplyoing an EX90 to one of our offshore rigs. We have a 3Mb/s upgrade coming from Caprock.
So I expect performance should be ok.
Thanks for sharing. I would be interested in hearing what the bandwidth was for the sat link from Caprock.
Also, how the EX90 performed with the high delay over the link.
Really epitomizes a communication network on wheels. Thanks for sharing!

Summer has finally arrived and signals the start of the traditional African-American family reunion season. Families all over the United States will be gathering to celebrate family ties and remember the progenitors of their extended family. My maternal family, the Washingtons and Rounds, and my paternal family, the Callins, will be joining the several thousands of families who come together to annually celebrate extended family.
For the family researcher, attending a family reunion is the perfect time to conduct research. With a multiple generations of your family members gathering together, you can make great strides in researching your family history. Most family reunions are 2 -3 days long and you will need a detailed plan of action if you want to maximize your short research time with the family.
Here are some things that you can make part of your research game plan while at the family reunion:
1. Interview the older people of your family.
During family reunions most people, especially elders, are more inclined to share with you what they know about the family or themselves. Create a short list of "Fast Five" questions of information that can assist you in your research. Keep the conversation and questions brief as you will most likely only have a limited time to interview a number of people.
Here are my "Fast Five" I'll be asking during my reunion trip this summer:
1. What is your name?
2. Where were you born?
3. What are your parents names?
4. Where were your parents born?
5. Can you share a family story or memory??
2. If your reunion is held in the ancestral home place, research locally
The great thing about having a family reunion at your family ancestral home place or homestead is that it gives you an opportunity to research in the areas where your family lived. Some places on your list to visit should be the local cemetery, the county courthouse and other places of note relative to your family history ie family church, homes/land etc.
3. You should also ensure that you have a Genealogy Road Tool Kit to document and preserve your research efforts.
Take photos of records you access, your family members and places of note. Record your short interviews with a voice recorder or a video camera. Scan or photograph family photos. Use your laptop/netbook to store and organize your work as your progress.
If you find these tips useful in conducting your family reunion research "Like" The Family Griot on Facebook or follow me on Twitter @familygriot and share your experience!
Happy Ancestor Hunting!

Doesn't work as advertised!
The flag/country info etc. is pulled from some lookup and have no relation to the server location.
But, of course, mostly that would be 'correct'. Exception is, when domain is moved and nameserver not fully 'propagated'.
Please upgrade to Opera 15
Please, update for v15.
Please upgrade to Opera 15
Gosto muito desta extensão. Muito útil!
I use this regularly, and often just to access the extra maps.
Very useful, but does not work with HTTPS
When I do traceroute, all I get is "undefined ms" over and over again. How can I fix this?

So now that Mattel is adding large characters to the MOTUC line it's only a matter of time before they give us what is undeniably the most requested larger character in all the mythos: Skytree.
Ok, just kidding. Obviously Skytree is very unlikely. However, I think it would be oddly cool to get a Skytree figure.

Wouldn't be surprised to see either of these shows sell out fast.
The National
Wouldn't be surprised to see either of these shows sell out fast:
Ohio sons The National will return to LC Pavilion's outdoor stage on Saturday, June 15 in support of a new, as yet untitled LP coming this May. This is apparently part of a larger, Wexner Center-affiliated event called Next @ Wex Fest.Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday for the price of $25 ($32.85 after fees). I'd be sure to nab a ticket; although The National is more of an indoor band, they were in fiery form last fall at the Newport.
Also making their return to Columbus: black metal-infused Norwegian rock-'n'-rollers Kvelertak, whose upcoming album Meir promises to be one of 2013's most exhilarating listens. I missed their previous gigs at Cafe Bourbon Street and opening for Converge at Skully's, but I'm pumped to catch them at Ace of Cups on Thursday, April 25 with Cancer Bats and Black Tusk. Tickets for that one also go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., and they cost $12. Starwood Presents continues to attract the heavyweights to Columbus.

China's inflation rate eases to 2 pct in February
BEIJING (AP) — China's inflation rate eased in February to 2 percent year-on-year amid signs the world's second-largest economy might be cooling.
The consumer price rise reported Sunday by the National Bureau of Statistics was down from January's 2.5 percent. The rise in politically sensitive food costs decelerated to 2.7 percent from January's 3.7 percent.
Lower inflation could ease pressure on Chinese leaders as they try to focus on promised reforms aimed at making the economy more productive and keeping growth strong.
Producer prices, measured as goods leave the factory, declined by 2 percent from a year earlier. Producer price inflation has been negative for two years, reflecting excess production capacity in many industries that has led to price-cutting wars.

The most recent issue of Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies has a fascinating article by David Frankfurter (U. New Hampshire): "Fetus Magic and Sorcery Fears in Roman Egypt," GRBS 46 (2006), 37-62. Frankfurter explores the case of one Gemellus Horion, a partially blind descendent of a Roman veteran who brought a formal complaint before the Roman strategos over an incident that occured in the village of Karanis in 197 CE. Horion's not-so-friendly neighbours — the family of Julius — had on more than one occasion robbed Horion's family of their harvest and had ensured that their thieving action would not be stopped by using magic. Not once, but twice, the neighbours had thrown an aborted or miscarried fetus (brephos) in order to "surround [the Horion family] with malice" and create a binding spell that would ensure that noone would stop them –apparently with success to the point of Horion's petition for Roman action. The complaint on the papyrus, as translated by Frankfurter, reads in part:
"[Julius] again trespassed with his wife and a certain Zenas, holding a brephos (fetus), intending to surround my cultivator with malice so that he would abandon his labor after having harvested . . . Again, in the same manner, they threw the same brephos toward me, intending to surround me also with malice. . . Julius, after he had gathered in the remaining crops from the fields, took the brephos away to his house (PMich VI 423-424, lines 12-14, 16-18, 20-21, as translated by Frankfurter 2006:41).
Frankfurter goes on to discuss this incident of a binding spell within the context of local traditions of magical practice and shows how the fetus functions primarily as something completely out of place or "weird" and therefore impure (making use of Malinowksi's principle of the "coefficient of weirdness") (p. 52). I would highly recommend this and the many other solid studies that David Frankfurter has produced, including his Religion in Roman Egypt: Assimilation and Resistance (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000) and "Ritual as Accusation and Atrocity: Satanic Ritual Abuse, Gnostic Libertinism, and Primal Murders," History of Religions 40 (2001), 352-381.
Frankfurter has a knack for picking interesting topics and solving important issues in the process, I would suggest.
