Flotsam and jetsam
I just love scouring the beaches. Searching for interesting things that have been churned by the waves and tumbled over the rocks before being abandoned at the high tide mark. You never know what you might find and without a bit of imagination, most of it looks like junk littering the beach.
This gorgeous mobile was made entirely of things found on the beach: the stick, rope, shells, fishing line and coloured plastics beads on it (don't know what they're called).
Now I know I'm diverging a bit here, but do you remember the Wombles? Of all the old kids' TV shows that have made a comeback I can't understand why we haven't seen the Wombles. They were well ahead of their time when it came to recycling and upcycling. The modern green kid would surely be able to relate to these guys, don't you think?

Birthday cake
Eadie and I made a birthday cake for Ruby today. We took some photos so you can appreciate the results given what we had to work with. Yes, we did cook it in that benchtop oven!

Happy Birthday Ruby Girl!
Dear Ruby
I think you are amazing. You have so many qualities that I admire. I'm proud of the way you give things a go, even if they seem a bit scary. You have a beautiful smile and you often surprise me with how much you know about the world. Happy birthday beautiful. Love Mummy, xox

Jumping off the bridge
Ruby was really keen to jump off the foot bridge into the water below. I told her that she should do it with Steve. So the next day we all headed down to the beach and Ruby, as keen as hot English mustard, got ready to take the plunge. Steve went first and without hesitation, Ruby followed. Steve then challenged me to do it. It didn't take much persuasion–it looked like fun. Off I went. I think the girls were surprised I actually did it. They know me as the mum who is usually too lame to get into the water. It was fun. Ruby and I did it over and over again. And guess what? The water wasn't too cold either!

The end of our week at Raglan is drawing nearer but here yet. I love this place. It reminds me a little of Byron but way smaller and quieter. The bach overlooks the water and is really quaint. When we're not on the beach we spend time on the deck watching the tide turn. The weather has been fantabulous. Boy, I wish you were here.
The kitchen is basic but has an espresso machine which you all know is top priority. There is one electric hot plate which you plug into the wall and a benchtop oven in which I am going to try and bake a sponge cake for Ruby's birthday (I'll let you know how I go).
Much to Steve's delight, the surf has been pretty good. So often when we go on holidays the surf is crap. There is a surfing comp at Piha at the moment and as the competitors are eliminated they are heading down to Raglan so it is starting to get a bit crowded. This pic was taken above Manu Bay on our first day. Steve caught some waves whilst I searched for flotsam and jetsam. The girls played their modern version of make believe which goes something like "let's fake that we're a...".
PS. Happy Australia Day!
Resolutions [an update]
How boring am I do deliver such a stock standard list of resolutions when there is so much to work on? The truth is, when we dig beneath the surface, what we find can sometimes be a little confronting–even scarey. So much so, that we may want to keep it private and get used to what we find before sharing it with the world.
That said, my revised NY's resolutions are (and I figure it's not quite the end of January so I can probably get away with this):
Exercise: Well, I'm still on holidays but I'm committed!
Drinking: See above.
Passion: Still searching...
Food: I'm a carnivore but I think that most of us can benefit from eating less meat (and that doesn't mean substituting it for smoked salmon!). The truth is, I find it easy to create a meal around meat but without the animal, and apart from pasta napolitana, I don't really know where to begin. I am on a quest to have a few hearty, vegetarian meals in my repertoire.
Laugh: I definitely need to lighten up and laugh more.
Anger vs Peace: (this is the revealing one) I am going to try and deal with my anger. I'm not sure where it comes from but it's always there beneath the surface waiting for a trigger. I'm really going to work at resolving this because it has the potential to affect the rest of my world–for good or bad.

Plum jam
I recently made some plum jam and thought it would be great so post some pics of it bubbling away in the pot. Of course, once I got started, I forgot to take a pic. So here's a pic of the empty pot and bottled jam instead.
Before you all start thinking I've gone all Martha Stewart, I have a confession. My friend Meri had been making jam with the plums she got from her neighbour's tree. She boiled the plums, sieved them then found she had too much fruit and not enough sugar. Her original intention was to buy more sugar and use the last of the fruit puree but after the first batch was over it and offered me the puree. Well, with all the hard work done, how could I refuse. So that's my confession, now back to the jam…
I thought it would be great to make a batch of scones with the delicious jam on top (I sooo want to by a food stylist for Donna!). Anyway, I didn't get around to making the scones–I never was much good at baking scones and my attempts at the gluten free variety haven't excited the troops in the past. So here is a pic of Ava with her 100th jam sandwich, dipping her fingers in the jar.

The Waikato is the longest river in NZ. It starts at Taupo feeding from the lake, and ends just before Auckland. This picture of Ava is taken at Huka Falls. The water is really clear and amazing blue in colour.
We are lucky that Steve is such a keen swimmer, seeking out and entering all ocean swims within driving distance. He is now the Australian and NZ Masters' champion for his age group. A great effort–a stomach bug didn't even slow him down!
On the morning of our departure we found a natural hot water spring right on the edge of the lake. Too wimpy to swim in the lake, this will be the first place I go to when we visit next.

From the top
I climbed the mountain again the day before we left.
We're back home. On Friday we head off to Taupo for a few days.

Modern life
This is a picture of a few of the gadgets we bought with us on holiday. When I told the girls I wanted to take a picture they didn't quite get it. I had to explain how "When I was a kid..." we didn't have laptops, mobile phones, iPods and DSs.
An inventory:
2 x mobile phones
3 x iPods
2 x DSs
1 x laptop (includes docking station and webcam)
1 x camera
All the chargers and USB cables that go with the above!
While I'm on the "When I was a kid" subject, does anyone wonder how the Y generation learn to touch type? I learnt at school in Office Studies (I think that's what it was called). We learnt on old-fashioned typewriters, repetitively typing on the QWERTY keyboard without looking at our fingers. If you were lucky you got to use one the two electric typewriters. WooHoo! I think it's a good skill though – much quicker than using two fingers.
Another subject I did at high school was Parentcraft. Yes, can you believe it? A subject for girls only. Somehow we were meant to acquire the knowledge needed to be a good mother by cutting pictures out of magazines and sticking them in a scrap book. We also got to bath dolls and learned to fold cloth nappies. Wow, that was really helpful–not! I'm sure anyone with kids will agree, nothing can prepare you for being a mother. Parenting comes down to osmosis; kids learn by watching their parents.

How long will this last?
Another gorgeous day – I could get used to this. Knowing this is probably as warm as it's going to get here, I made myself get in the water again. It was torture for Steve to watch. First my ankles (5 mins); then my knees (another 5 mins); groin (at least 10 mins); kidneys and armpits (10 mins); and finally under! Mission accomplished, I stayed in for less than 10 mins.
We found a shady spot on a shelly beach with lots of exploring to be done.
Steve decides to swim around the island in the distance, returning 50 minutes later.

Summer arrived today
What a gorgeous day. It's predicted to be raining on Friday which possibly means cold and windy too. But I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about the weather, we are making the most of it.

You call this summer?
We are at Mt Maunganui, affectionately know as The Mount. Our first afternoon at the beach. It is quite late so the sun has lost it's heat (warmth). Steve and Ruby get in the water and catch a few waves on the boogie board. After getting my feet wet and a long pep talk to self, I don Steve's winter rashie (the one he uses in Australian waters) and decide to take the plunge. However, the process was not so much a plunge but more like a long drawn out wade. Everyone knows I am a complete wimp when it comes to getting into anything cooler than bath water.
So here is a picture (geez, I look old), taken by Eadie, just to prove I did it. Don't ask me if I enjoyed it, I think I would need a full wetsuit for that.
And here is a cute picture drawn by Eadie:

I just love my Frankie calendar. I got one last year and fell instantly in love with the pretty pictures. So much so that I couldn't bear to write on it, opting to photocopy it and use that instead. I then framed some of the pictures. Is that a bit anal? I still haven't written on my 2010 calendar. What do you think? Should I deface it and use it as was intended, or treasure it?
New year's resolutions? I wasn't going to mention it but seeing as you asked, I'll share. You see, I don't normally 'do' them. It's not that I don't have anything that needs improvement. It's just that minor renovations can quickly turn into major reworks at which point you have to ask yourself would it be quicker to just knock it down and rebuild? And then there's the landscaping, but we won't go there.
Here are the big 3 (no surprises here):
Exercise. Usually at the top of everyone's list. It's at the top of mine too. There is sooo much room for improvement here all I have to do is put my walking shoes on and I've made progress. Of course, it's a good idea to start now whilst I can still bend over to do up my laces–unassisted.
Drinking. If it's your shout, I like G+T in summer; red wine in winter, thanks very much. Seriously though, I aim to reduce my intake. Enough said.
Passion. I am going to find a passion. Over the past couple of years I have surprised myself to find there are things that I'm good at. Some of them like Clean Up Australia Day, are worthwhile. So this year I am going in search of more passion. God knows I could use it.
Last year (or was it the year before), I started my own reward chart. I put little stars on the calendar when I did exercise or if I had an alcohol-free day. I figured if it was good for changing the undesirable behaviour of kids, then it should work for adults too. And it did! So that's where I will start this time around and maybe I'll write on the pretty calendar after all.

Twenty ten
We say good-bye to yet another decade, how quickly they fly by! It seems like just yesterday we were preparing to see in the new millennium. Many of us didn't have kids back then which meant that we usually partied in a completely different way (sigh).
To be honest, I forgot it was NYE and only just managed to pick up a few sausages from the butchers as they were cleaning up. Still, what started out as bangers and bread turned into a pretty good feast of bangers, grilled eggplant, baked potatoes and salad. This was accompanied by a bottle of Pol Rogers champagne (thanks Scotty and Sandy) and followed by a nice almond and polenta cake with cream.
Earlier in the day Steve and Ruby did some skating - all good fun, but unfortunately it ended in tears later in the day after Ruby had a stack. You should have heard the cries. Actually, you're lucky you didn't. I have no doubt it hurt but Ruby has a very low pain threshold. Sorry Ruby, you know it's true.
Before the skate stack, we had some fun at One Tree Hill. Here are some pics...
Me and Ava on the flying fox:
Cool big tree:
On the tree:
Best wishes to all my dear friends and family. Thanks for being so wonderful and supportive and willing to create so many memories together. May 2010 be happy and rewarding one.
Love m, xox

Bears LB to play in last game at home
November 14, 2003
Cabel Rohloff knows that sometime this afternoon, the only thing missing from Nottingham Field will be a horse to ride off in the sunset.
His University of Northern Colorado football uniform will be muddied, as usual. His eye-black will be smudged, and the grass stains on his jersey will need an extra dose of Clorox for whoever dons them next.
"I know," Rohloff said, "it's going to be different. I'm not the kind of guy who shows a lot of emotion, but there's a lot of history here at Nottingham Field for me. I've been a part of what I feel is something real special."
That's about as much emotion as you can expect from Rohloff, who will play his last game at linebacker at Nottingham Field when the Bears play host to Augustana College at noon.
"I know it's sort
of going to hit me when we go through our last walk-through practice today," he said Friday afternoon. "We sort of have a little senior thing going, and today will get the last one. I'm looking forward to it, hoping it will be fun."
Recommended Stories For You
Rohloff, who came to UNC minus much fanfare, will leave with his share of accolades, including an All-American honor from last year.
"He leads by example and you don't have to really even ask him much because you'll get a straight-up answer," said UNC defensive coordinator Jed Stugart, introducing Rohloff to the media before the season. "He's an automatic leader."
At 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, Rohloff is hard to miss. However, if you don't make eye contact with him, he's gone in a second.
"Doesn't say much, does he," UNC head coach Kay Dalton said after watching Rohloff take interview questions after the Bears' 14-10 victory over Montana State University this season.
Rohloff's versatility is what attracted the UNC coaches to him from tiny Platte Canyon High School in Bailey, just west of Denver. His business-like approach to the game is what sold them on him.
"I've always been just one of those guys who figures there's a job to be done, and you just go out there and get it done," Rohloff said. "You don't have to show off or do anything to attract attention to you if you do it right."
Rohloff has attracted plenty of attention from opposing coaches, mainly for his ability to play against the run and the pass. His lateral speed has kept more than his share of tailbacks from turning the corner.
An 11-time Academic All-State selection, Rohloff will graduate with a business degree from UNC, and plenty of memories from a stellar football career.
"I think what I'll remember most is just how hard I worked to get where I am," he said. "This year has been different because there's been a lot of attention to us moving up to Division I-AA, but we've still played as well as we ever have.
"I think the defense has kind of been on the low-down, just getting our job done."
Getting the job done has meant allowing opponents an amazing 87.9 rushing yards each week and only 16.9 points each week, while ringing up a 4-0 record at home heading into today's game.
"I look forward to just being on this field," Rohloff said. "It's special."Including his redshirt season, Rohloff has helped the Bears to a 25-4 mark at Nottingham Field with one game left.
"I think I've played pretty well or better this year than any other year," said Rohloff, third on the team in tackles with 37.6, including six for losses of 21 yards. "I think the victory over Montana State was the most exciting game I played in because we had beaten a Division I-AA team, and our defense shut them out in the second half. Knowing I had something to do with that was a thrill."
Another thrill this season for Rohloff has been watching the record-setting numbers the Bears have put up on offense.
"At home, we've beat teams pretty easily, so I've had some breaks, and it's fun watching those guys play," he said. "I know late in the game, I'll feel some emotion I haven't felt before, but it's time."

Sophomore quarterback Tony Christensen has thrown for 1,754 yards and 16 touchdowns. He's been intercepted 10 times.
The Bears average 477 yards of offense each week, balancing it with 218 on the ground and 258 via the pass.
– THE VIKINGS ON DEFENSE: Augustana has been a little suspect against the rush, allowing 162.8 each week, but have been equally as generous against the pass, giving up 334.
Inside linebacker Brett Scherschligt is the team's leading tackler with 74, but strong safety Ben Nauman and free safety Mike Stotz have come up to make their share of tackles, combining for 128.
The Vikings have 21 sacks on the season, led by defensive end Austin Flyger.
– THE BEARS ON DEFENSE: UNC has been extremely stingy on defense, especially against the run, giving up just 87.9 each week. Overall, opponents have averaged just 287.9 yards against the Bears, who have also been tough to score on, giving up just 16.9 points each week.
Up front, defensive tackle Paul Hubbard has recorded 12.5 sacks.
Veteran linebacker Cabel Rohloff leads from his linebacker position with 37 tackles. Safety Reed Doughty has been busy and leads the team with 57 tackles.
The Bears have recorded an impressive 64 sacks.
– THE VIKINGS ON SPECIAL TEAMS: Augustana punter Luke Biondi is averaging 35.1 yards-per-punt, but has a long of 63 yards. Place-kicker Adam Brinkman is 11-for-13 on field goals with a long of 47.
The Vikings' biggest return threats are Rice and Nauman.
– THE BEARS ON SPECIAL TEAMS: Punter Chad Harter has been consistent all season, averaging 42.3, and boomed one for 76 yards against Southern Utah University.
Place-kicker Justin Zaitz has been a bit inconsistent, hitting just 8-of-14 field goals, but had three last week.
Jackson is the Bears' biggest threat on returns.
– INTANGIBLES: This is the final home game for the Bears, who are 49-5 at Nottingham Field, including a win streak of 14 straight games.
– TRIBUNE PICK: Northern Colorado 49, Augustana 20.
Ryan DeGraff is an established passer, who is veteran tested and one of the better quarterbacks at the Division II level.
Tony Christensen has consistently improved, but needs to cut down on his interceptions.
EDGE: Augustana
Offensive Line
The Vikings are experienced, but lack strength. They certainly don't rely on the rush.
UNC is not only big up front, it's physical and prides itself in Matthews' numbers as a running back.
EDGE: Northern Colorado
Running Backs
The Vikings have a pair of solid backs, but they don't match up with today's opponent.
Matthews has proven to be one of, if not the best back in UNC history.
EDGE: Northern Colorado
Haugland and Rice have combined for more than 1,300 yards, which can't be ignored or taken lightly.
Jackson is a Division I-AA All-American candidate, and only a lack of depth keeps the Bears from an advantage here.
EDGE: Even
The Vikings don't possess much size up front, and have two redshirt freshmen listed as starters.
The Bears' 87.9 rushing average for opponents speaks for itself.
EDGE: Northern Colorado
Scherschligt has had his work cut out for him all season, and the Vikings rely too much on quickness here.
Rohloff, Ryan Palmer and Scott Tongren, as a group, are tough to get by.
EDGE: Northern Colorado
Defensive Backs
Opponents have had their way with an average of 172 passing yards each week, and have recorded just nine interceptions.
The Bears are a veteran crew which has given up some yardage, but not points.
EDGE: Northern Colorado
Special Teams
The Vikings don't have anybody who actually jumps out at you as a play-maker.
Harter has been a big plus in field position, and Jackson is a threat every time he touches the ball.
EDGE: Northern Colorado

Happy New Year! A new year often makes us think about how happy and healthy we are, and we've been thinking about that here too. One of our biggest goals here is to improve people's well-being, because the health of people is intrinsically linked with the health of the forests and wildlife around them – we can't have one without the other. So, working out how to measure their well-being in the first place is really important. But it's not easy – nothing worth doing ever is!
Why do we need to understand how well people are?
We need to understand how well people are, and how their well-being might be changing, so we can make sure our work is making a real and valuable contribution to improving their lives. We monitor our work in a number of ways, like looking at the income people get from selling honey or improvements in crop yields because of less conflict between human beings and wildlife, but we haven't cracked measuring people's broader well-being. It's a very big task!
You may have read in my earlier blogs that, with support from Size of Wales and the Darwin Initiative, we're supporting two communities in Boni-Dodori that are near forests to use their natural resources in the most sustainable way. We're also helping communities to have a voice in the decisions about how their natural resources, like water, are managed. That helps improve their livelihoods and gives them a better understanding of the wildlife and nature around them. All of these things play a part in people's well-being, so understanding what change there has (or hasn't) been in well-being can help us make sure that our work is as effective as possible in the future.
What is WWF doing in Kenya to understand well-being?
We've been working with a social science expert to trial a survey which colleagues in the WWF Network have designed to understand people's well-being and look at how it improves or declines over time. Using this survey will help us get a better understanding of the communities that we're working closely with here in Boni-Dodori. As well as telling us about people's financial situation and their relationship with the natural resources around them like land, water, and plants, it will also tell us about how climate change is impacting on them.
The first step in using this survey was to make it specific it to the communities we work with in Boni-Dodori. People here, for example, don't have any access to electricity so there wasn't much point in us asking questions about this. It was also very important to translate the survey into the local language so that the locals could understand it easily. And this week we've moved on the next stage in the process – training a team of people to actually carry out the survey on the ground.
We've put together a team of twenty staff and local community members, all of whom have an in-depth understanding of the area and the people. Over the last few days they've been learning how to use the survey. Having these practice sessions has been very important to the whole project because it's crucial that they fully understand how the survey works and how important it is to our work. For WWF staff, it's also a great opportunity to get to know the local community better and deepen our links with them.
What happens next?
We're all really excited to get out to the villages and start using this survey so that we have some real information about how things like climate change are having an effect on people's lives. We'll share the results with you once they're in, and they are sure to be invaluable in helping us to assess the work we've done to date and plan our work more effectively in the future. That way we can be sure that the work we're doing here is helping people and nature to thrive in harmony.
Watch this space for the results!
WWF's work in Boni-Dodori is supported by Size of Wales and the UK Government through the Darwin Initiative and the Department for International Development.

Illicit Discharges
What is an illicit discharge?
An illicit discharge is defined as any discharge to the City's storm sewer system that is not composed entirely of stormwater, except for discharges of uncontaminated industrial wastewater (ex. non-contact cooling water). Illicit discharges are illegal based on local ordinance (i.e. City Ordinance 1020.1) and both federal and state law.
What is the main cause of an illicit discharge?
Many illicit discharges occur due to illegal, piped connections to the storm drain system from commercial, residential, and other establishments. In addition, illicit discharges can occur from spills of polluting materials onto paved surfaces or from spills directly into yard drains or street catch basin drains.
What does an illicit discharge do?
Illicit discharges and dumping allow contaminated wastewater into our local waterways without receiving any treatment. Such activities may be intentional, but also may be unknown to the property owner.
Examples of illicit discharge or dumping:
Failing septic systems
Improper disposal of sewage from recreational vehicles
Illicit connections of sanitary sewer lines to the storm sewer system
Cleaning of pool filters, paint brushes, and vehicles in a driveway or street
How can you get involved?
Please help us protect the Grand and Red Cedar watersheds by reporting illicit discharges and dumping into City stormwater sewer systems.

Poetry has a tendency to spill over our lives. Picture this: you're eating at a diner when an overwhelming urge to pen down a dirty limerick grips you because you thought the afritada tasted funny. Or maybe you're thoughtlessly enjoying a piece of artwork at an artsy/indie/hipster lair when the gears click in your brain and suddenly you know the perfect word that rhymes with 'obstreperous'. Or that time when you stub your toe and you promptly recite the most awe-inspiring tirade in history. Could all these be poetry? Maybe? Possibly? Probably? Possibly probably poetry!
Its shadow
Looked to me
Like a bird of prey
Eternally locked
In a frightful battle
For survival
In a shrine
Dedicated to deities
Birthed by
Both ego and need
And nourished
By fierce sacrifices
Of sweat and fortitude
Her gift – a journal
Rife with prying questions,
A legion of unwritten answers,
An ink-stained future,
And, maybe, quite a bit of self-awareness
Strange delicious twists
Under a cool moonlit night
Delights tongues and bellies
After a day of sun and sand
A taste
Ofttimes never
Sometimes forever
Locked in time
Until tea becomes
A waterfall washing away
The memory
8 awaits a feast
When a thought occurs
To scribble
An offensive crime
On a legal surface
Marked by an upright
Infinity sign
A thousand may vie
To be called one of the best
They just satisfy
With tastes far above the rest
Happy thirtieth!
May you be blessed with more kith,
More new spaces to stray,
More reasons to ground knees and pray,
More moments of unchecked glee,
Lots more for my one and only!
Be thankful
For the breaking sweat
For the invites to the zone
For the epic brushes with greatness
For the hellish exertions
For merciful rests
Be thankful
A thousand taunts
Plus a million insults
Can never weather
Deter or fracture
A person who truly intends
To find happiness

This film is a universal story of trying to figure out where one belongs, and loving a part of one's self despite potential struggles. In Aziza's case, she's a music nerd who has a deep and spiritual connection to electronic music. At the same time, Aziza is trying to see if she fits into the scene that creates the music she loves. For Aziza, her mind escapes through music, and music elevates her spirituality. Essentially, Aziza is her own person and has to figure out where she fits in.
This film is a story of loving part of yourself despite the conflict that may arise with family and society's expectations. In Aziza's case, she is beginning to recognize that she does not quite fit into the scene that creates the music she loves. For her it isn't about the clubs or crowds; Aziza is her own person and has to figure out where she fits in through her passion and values. It is necessary for any community to see themselves onscreen. Small Delights shows a true depiction of Muslims that audiences often do not get to see, due to the immense misrepresentation of the community in current media. In addition, it is rare to find a film that features a Muslim woman, especially a Muslim teenage girl, in a fiction film produced in the United States.


text: A house fire in a Chicago, Illinois home has left two children dead. The house fire allegedly started when the children used a space heater. The house fire raises the Chicago house fire death toll before the year's end. House fires, especially in cold areas like Chicago, are common when faulty space heaters are used or if a landlord's smoke detectors are broken or missing. The most recent house fire leaves a mother childless, the mother did not sustain fire injuries or burn injuries since she was not home when the nighttime fire occurred. There is still an ongoing investigation as to the cause of the fire. The investigation will likely look at if adequate house smoke detectors were in place and if the space heater used was a faulty space heater. To read more about this tragic story click here.

I think most of us would love to live in a bigger house or have the desire for more room in our homes. But what about if our homes are on the small side or some of the rooms seem a bit pokey? Well, then you may need to create the illusion of space in your home. But how?…
Create the Illusion of Space
It's Not All About Clever Decor: How to Add The Illusion Of Space Into Your Home
Creating the illusion of a larger space doesn't require the work of a talented magician. You don't have to knock down any walls, or add a large extension to your home either. Instead, all it takes is a little imagination and an open mind. By following the advice below, you can broaden the appearance of your home without adding expensive décor or having to pay for a costly extension…
Let more light in
The most effective way to give the illusion of space is to let more light into the room. People who own homes with large open windows should consider themselves lucky. Windows welcome light and can make even the tightest spaces appear larger and more spacious. It's common knowledge that light broadens and darkness shrinks. This basically means that a space occupied with plenty of light will appear bigger than a room cast in shadows.
Look how amazing this small room looks with these windows! Image sourced here
You can take this technique a step further by installing beautiful velux skylights in your home. This is an excellent choice for people who want to make the most out of whatever space they may have. You could even install them in your bedroom and watch the stars come out at night. Magical.
Change the Colour Palette
The colour of your walls, furniture and décor plays a huge role in determining how big or small a room looks. It's similar to the light/dark rule. Lighter colours will open space while darker shades 'closes' it. Consider this when choosing your colour scheme. As a rule of thumb, to create the illusion of space in your home, try sticking with monochromatic schemes. This allows the eye to scan the room without any distracting colours getting in the way. You may want to avoid mixing colours up too much in one room. This creates confusion and can make a room appear smaller than it actually is.
This room uses colour palette really well to create the illusion of space in their home. Image sourced here.
Mirrors and Glass
This tried and tested method of creating more space in small rooms is an oldie, but goodie. Mirrors reflect light. By re-arranging the positioning of the mirrors in your home, you can instantly create the impression of a much bigger space. For example, displaying a large mirror on the wall opposite a window will allow natural sunlight to bounce off the reflection. This light will disperse throughout the room, instantly brightening the surrounding space.
This room would look much smaller if it weren't for the huge mirror opposite. Image sourced here.
Lift Ceilings with Colour
If your home has low ceilings, it can make each room feel like a box that is ready to close in on you at any second. This can make a person feel fenced in, which is definitely not something to celebrate! According to the BBC, painting the ceiling a lighter shade than the walls can make it appear higher. They also suggest putting up some mouldings and painting them a darker shade than the ceiling. Either way, the desired effect is achieved by playing around with the power of colours and the fact that our eyes are so easily deceived.
This room shows that with lighter ceilings and slightly darker cornice and mouldings, the illusion of space is created. Image sourced here.
I'm sure we'll be adopting some of these ideas in #TheHouseProject – we're opting for velux in our extension to bring in as much light as possible, but I think the mirror opposite a window rule is a really easy one to implement.
What about you?
Do you need to create the illusion of space in your home?
How will you do it?

Move Over Mattes! This Summer, Gloss Is In And We Found Lip Products That Really Deliver

Alarm bells have long been ringing across Europe about a worrying resurgence of the far right.
Despite last year's re-election of Angela Merkel as Chancellor of Germany and the defeat or at least containment of extremist elements in votes in Austria and the Netherlands, the far right is enjoying levels of popularity thought to be unthinkable in the past.
If there were any doubts, this year's election results in Italy confirmed the resurgence of right-wing population.
Across the continent, traditional party systems have been fragmenting and conventional establishments disappearing, leading to the rise of authoritarian parties in European Union countries like Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
In the United Kingdom itself, the Brexit vote created and opened up bitter divisions. A notable factor is the unpalatable truth that the scale of ring-wing extremism has been largely ignored, including within the ruling Conservative Party.
Last month's decision by Conservative Members of the European Parliament to side with some of the most far-right and populist groups in the European Union failed to prevent a procedural motion to censure Hungary's lurch towards authoritarianism. But it underlined a growing worry about the extent of extremism on our own doorstep.
The Conservatives were the only governing Conservative party in western Europe to try to block disciplinary, putting themselves in the obnoxious company of Poland's Law and Justice Party, Italy's League, and France's recently rebranded National Front. And aligned with groups like the Sweden Democrats, Freedom Party of Austria, and the UK Independence Party (UKIP).
Prime Minister, Theresa May, tried to distance herself from the party's Member of the European Parliament supporting Viktor Orban, who has presided over a climate of rising Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in Hungary.
Attempts to justify the distasteful decision was left to Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, on the Andrew Marr Show. He repeatedly refused to be critical, saying instead he believed "in generosity of spirit towards our European Union partners."
The best he could muster was seemingly that it was "not for me to rank a league table of European Union leaders and to say that one is my favourite or that one I have less time for because I believe in cooperative diplomacy."
There have been warnings, including from former minister Anna Soubry, that the UK ruling party risked being hijacked by extremists led by more and more hard-line Brexit campaigners urged to become grassroots Conservative Party members.
Within its ranks, there have always been fluctuating voters as well as several politicians who have flirted if not joined UKIP. Within the party is also the anti-European Union European Research Group, chaired by Jacob Rees-Mogg, with an unspecified membership but could include up to 100 or more Conservative Member of Parliament.
In the background is Boris Johnson, who is believed to be biding his time in preparation to mount another leadership campaign following his resignation as Foreign Secretary.
Despite his own mixed-race ancestry, the former London Mayor has frequently provoked controversy over his xenophobic views, including describing black people in the Daily Telegraph as "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles". Most recently he did not even feel it necessary to apologise for insulting Muslim women.
Despite evidence of Islamophobia in its ranks, the Conservatives have refused to carry out an independent investigation to root out the scourge of Islamophobia. It is as if the country's once-traditional ruling party has lost its soul and is in an identity crisis, unsure what it is supposed to represent. It is as if it has lost its principles, ignoring the concerns of the public without having any paternalistic instincts of its founders.
Even for the sake of being expedient, the support for Orban cannot be excused in any way. In doing so, it is acting as an apologist for his Government's excesses and with it is being complicit. It is certainly not very healthy for the well-being of any democracy. Whatever difficulties Theresa May is having over Brexit, it is no answer to appease far-right elements both within her party and elsewhere.

There was once a time when Southern men dressed with classic style; then came overalls. Choo-choo-choosing to get back to the basics with old-school dude duds, Billy Reid
Now with its full Winter 2009 collection available in GA, Alabama-based Reid crafts classy throwback menswear that puts both gentlemanly and hunter-esque detailing on stuff ranging from sports jackets to shoes, all started by Louisiana-born Billy, who launched his tailoring career at Saks, and now just wants to cover yours with a nice pair of pants. For torsos, there're Mother-of-Pearl-buttoned, cowboyish cotton dress shirts like the lightweight John T. (in navy & white plaid), less-Western topwear like the Biloxi pullover knit sweatshirt (in gray, w/ oval elbow patches for rifle steadying), plus heavier sweaters like the ribbed cuff/collar, lambswool/cashmere Shawl in brown heather, and a wool/silk/cashmere, navy-colored v-neck they call the Savannah Curved, which is a big part of why it wins all those AVN awards. To avoid pantlessness, there's the trim-cut, wool/cashmere Graham trousers in charcoal, and the more-relaxed, cotton moleskin Leightons w/ a flap-closure watch pocket under the right front belt loop, while coating ranges from the super-trim, rust-brown Jonathan sports jacket, to casual hunting-themed outerwear like the brown waxed cotton Guide Sport, with wool lining, four front pockets, and a "kill pouch" for hunters to store varmints located on the rear interior, which is also where Richard Gere stores his

Jeremiah 4—6
Click or touch "Firestarter"
To listen to Nick read the one-minute introduction.
Photo Courtesy – http://cyberbrethren.com
The Lord calls Jeremiah to be the emotional expression of a God outraged, grieved, and simply hurt at the infidelity of the people.
God feels. How could it be otherwise, since we are made in God's image? The Lord expresses all these emotions through Jeremiah, longing that the people be shaken from their evil, adulterous, idolatrous practices, and turn to the Lord once again.
Get ready with a heart open to receive the pain of your divine spouse. Do not stop short with guilt and shame; these block your spirit. Go deeper. Let the hard, numb soil of your soul be loosened to receive the pure seed of God's Word. Drop down to that place within where there is deepest sorrow for your sins, all of which are variations on the theme of infidelity to the Lord. Pour out your heart in repentance. The Lord wants you back.

Primary school pupils in London will carry backpacks fitted with air quality sensors on their journey to and from school to help monitor the levels of toxic air.
As part of what London claims is the largest study of its kind, 250 pupils from five London primary schools will wear specially adapted backpacks to and from school for a week.
Weighing just over 1kg, the sensors, which have been developed by Dyson engineers in cooperation with King's College London, fit into lightweight bags and measure particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels.
The children will use the backpacks like a normal bag (the monitor takes up just one pocket), allowing the monitors to record pollutant levels on each child's journey to school and throughout the school day.
The data from this study will allow scientists to analyse at which point of their journey to school children are exposed to the most pollution.
The data from this study will allow scientists to analyse at which point of their journey to school (or which part of their school day) children are exposed to the most pollution. They will also be able to compare the exposure of children who have similar journeys but take different routes and travel modes and then make recommendations of how children can reduce their exposure in future.
Air pollution has been shown to restrict lung growth in children. Low lung function in childhood can persist into adulthood and is often associated with other health problems including chronic obstructive lung disease in later life.
Dr Ben Barratt, King's College London, said: "Analysing the impact of air pollution and providing information to our local, national and international communities is a core component of King's civic responsibility.
"By monitoring the air that children breathe on the journey to and from school, we will gain a better understanding of which pollutants are the most harmful and where they are coming from, helping us to support effective improvements in public health."
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, commented: "It remains a shameful fact that London's toxic air is harming the lung growth and health of our young children, and we are determined to do everything in our power to protect them.
"An issue this large and complex requires bold and innovative action to protect future generations."
"An issue this large and complex requires bold and innovative action to protect future generations and ensure our children breathe cleaner, healthier air. I'm proud that we're able to launch world-leading studies like this which will help us find new ways to reduce children's exposure to toxic air.
"I hope the success of this scheme will act as a blueprint for cities around the world as they battle their own toxic air emergencies."
The wearable sensors are the latest stage of the Breathe London project, which aims to create the most comprehensive air quality monitoring network of its kind in the world.
London, which also includes more than 100 fixed monitors and the deployment of air quality monitoring cars on the streets of London, was devised by City Hall and C40 Cities – the global alliance of cities committed to addressing climate change.
Once this approach and technology has been proven in London, the goal is to see it introduced in cities around the world.
The launch of the backpack sensors comes less than three weeks before the Mayor introduces the world's first 24 hours-a-day Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in central London. Drivers of the most polluting cars, vans and motorcycles will be required to pay £12.50 (£100 for buses, coaches and lorries) to enter the ULEZ, which will operate in the area currently covered by the Congestion Charge.
London's City Hall predicts that the ULEZ could cut harmful emissions in central London by up to 45 per cent.

Spyderco Spyderpac
Item #: SPCSP2
From the manufacturer:
Eighteen-pocket SpyderPac is an impressive and safe way to carry and display your knife collection. It's half the size of the large SpyderPac and fits neatly in a suitcase or portfolio.
Constructed from heavy-denier polyester Cordura, the pack has Eighteen deep pockets sized to hold even larger folders. Each pocket is fronted with a clear plastic window for viewing knives tucked inside. It tri-folds over and seals closed by way of a Velcro strip running the width of the pack. The knives remain secure and separated in their pockets and cannot rub or scratch against each other. An adjustable length shoulder strap attaches with two durable steel D-rings letting you hang the pack for display on a wall or sling it over your shoulder to take with you. Spyderco's name and bug logo are embroidered in gold thread on the closing flap. Available in black. Suggested retail $56.00.
TypeStorage Bag
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company's trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco's recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco's knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.

Members of Heffle Quilters worked hard on Saturday's workshop, making panels for the Kinchaku Bag. The sashiko workshops give the illusion that it isn't really hard work but everyone achieves so much, learning how to mark and stitch patterns like shippo (seven treasures), nowaki ("grasses") and asanoha (hemp leaf). I heard today that one of the quilters has already finished her bag, while two of the others are almost done, so I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of their pieces soon.
Bedfordshire Quilters chose the Japanese Circles and Squares patchwork workshop for their day on Tuesday. This design makes very economical use of seven fat quarters and one eighth. It doesn't have to be Japanese fabrics, as one of the quilters showed with her super selection of animal skin prints in stripes and spots.
Seeing all the lovely fabric combinations chosen by various quilters is one of the fun aspects of teaching this workshop (and another reason I have more than half a dozen workshop samples in different fabrics, as I enjoy trying out something new!)
This lovely pink and green selection included fabrics with very thirties-style Japanese designs. Once the blocks are made, they can be set out in more than one way, so it is then time to experiment!

Trilingual Joyce: The Anna Livia Variations
© 2018
Trilingual Joyce is a detailed comparative study of James Joyce's personal involvement in both French and Italian translations of the iconic 1928 text Anna Livia Plurabelle, which later became the eighth chapter of Finnegans Wake.
Considered to be completely untranslatable at the time of its publication, the translation of Anna Livia Plurabelle represented a fascinating challenge to Joyce, who collaborated in experimental renderings of the text, first into French and later into Italian. Patrick O'Neill's Trilingual Joyce is the first comparative study of all three of the Anna Livia Plurabelle variations, and fills a long-standing gap in Joyce studies. O'Neill, an Irish-born professor who has written widely on texts in translation, also discusses in detail the avant-guard novelist and playwright Samuel Beckett's contribution as a young man to the French rendering of Anna Livia Plurabelle.

"Trilingual Joyce manages to be both painstaking and fun, no mean trick. O'Neill reminds us, as Finnegans Wake itself does, to be patient, to make our discoveries gradually, cumulatively, and by comparison. His study is attentive to rhythms and rhymes, rather than vocabulary alone (and that "alone" belies a great deal, for the Wake's range in this regard is indeterminably broad), and is very conversant with the relevant textual history and the ongoing critical discussions about Joyce and translation."
Tim Conley, Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, Brock University
"Not since Richard Ellmann's acclaimed biography of James Joyce have I read such an engaging account of Joyce's daily life intertwined with the full scholarly rigour of a textual analysis. Not surprisingly then, I see O'Neill is as well versed in biographical accounts of Joyce's life as he is in both 'classic' and more recent overviews of Finnegans Wake."
Garry Leonard, Department of English, University of Toronto, Scarborough.

Unveiling Islam – guest speaker joins our GCSE RE lesson
In December we welcomed Mr Naseem from the Myriad Foundation to run a workshop called 'Islamophobia and Misconceptions in Islam'. The workshop was delivered to GCSE students studying Ethics and Philosophy. Not only will it help them directly with their exam topics, it also helped the class discuss important topics in today's society including prejudice and the place of religion.
Mr Naseem commented on our "confident and sharp students" who were "a credit to the school and their families".
Head of RE and Social Sciences Mr Townsend said that the session "was very helpful for students to learn about the teachings of Islam and to challenge misconceptions. I look forward to welcoming other representatives from faith groups to talk about their beliefs and help our students develop their understanding of the world around them".

The Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and the F-5E/F Tiger II are part of a supersonic light fighter family, initially designed in the late 1950s by Northrop Corporation. Being smaller and simpler than contemporaries such as the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, the F-5 cost less to both procure and operate, making it a popular export aircraft. The F-5 started life as a privately funded light fighter program by Northrop in the 1950s. The design team wrapped a small, highly aerodynamic fighter around two compact and high-thrust General Electric J85 engines, focusing on performance and low cost of maintenance. Though primarily designed for the day air superiority role, the aircraft is also a capable ground-attack platform. The F-5A entered service in the early 1960s. During the Cold War, over 800 were produced through 1972 for U.S. allies. Though the USAF had no acknowledged need for a light fighter, it did procure roughly 1,200 Northrop T-38 Talon trainer aircraft, which were directly based on the F-5A. The F-5 itself serves mainly as an aggressor aircraft while in US service, but has seen successful combat over Vietnam during the early years of the program. It serves a wide array of roles depending on which nation it serves, but it can perform both air and ground attack duties. It has been used successfully in both conventional combat and against unconventional warfare.
After winning the International Fighter Aircraft competition in 1970, a program aimed at providing effective low-cost fighters to American allies, Northrop introduced the second-generation F-5E Tiger II in 1972. This upgrade included more powerful engines, higher fuel capacity, greater wing area and improved leading edge extensions for a better turn rate, optional air-to-air refueling, and improved avionics including air-to-air radar. Primarily used by American allies, it was also used in US training exercises. A total of 1,400 Tiger IIs were built before production ended in 1987. More than 3,800 F-5 and T-38 aircraft were produced in Hawthorne, California.
The F-5 was also developed into a dedicated reconnaissance version, the RF-5 Tigereye. The F-5 also served as a starting point for a series of design studies which resulted in the Northrop YF-17 and the F/A-18 navalized fighter aircraft. The Northrop F-20 Tigershark was an advanced variant to succeed the F-5E which was ultimately canceled when export customers did not emerge. The F-5N/F variants are in service with the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps as an adversary trainer. Approximately 500 aircraft are still in service as of 2014.
This is a 1/72 Hobby Boss plastic kit to build the Northrop F-5E Tiger II in the colours of the USAF, Brazilian or Swiss Air Force.

Prosecutors assail Routier claims, criticize analyst
DA's office responds to legal filing that seeks retrial in child slayings
By HOLLY BECKA / The Dallas Morning News
Dallas County prosecutors said in a legal filing Wednesday that convicted killer Darlie Routier is the only person who cannot be ruled out as having left a bloody fingerprint on a table near her slain sons.
Prosecutors also attacked the credibility of a forensic anthropologist who told Ms. Routier's attorneys that he thinks an adult probably left the bloody print.
Prosecutors made the assertions in their 400-page response to a legal filing Ms. Routier's attorneys submitted in July in hopes of winning a retrial. Ms. Routier's attorneys could file a response. Then a Dallas judge must decide whether hearings are necessary before recommending whether a new trial should be granted. He will then forward the case to the Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin for its ruling.
Darlie Routier
Darlie Routier
Meanwhile, Ms. Routier's direct appeal, which focuses on transcript problems and allegations of trial error, is pending before the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Ms. Routier's filing in July focused on new information her attorneys found after her 1997 conviction and death sentence for the capital murder of 5-year-old Damon Routier. Six-year-old Devon also died in the June 1996 knife attack that Ms. Routier insists was the work of an intruder.
Prosecutor John Rolater Jr. wrote Wednesday that Ms. Routier did not prove her innocence and had undermined her claims that an intruder killed her children and attacked her in the family's Rowlett home.
Mr. Rolater said a fingerprint expert compared the bloody print with known prints of all paramedics, police, forensic technicians and others who were in the home after the murder.
Pat Wertheim, a Department of Public Safety latent print examiner from Arizona, then signed an affidavit stating: "All the ... people were excluded as the source of the latent print except the right ring finger of Darlie Lynn Routier. The latent could be neither excluded nor identified to that finger, and the comparison was deemed inconclusive."
J. Stephen Cooper, one of Ms. Routier's attorneys, said he doesn't give much credence to Mr. Wertheim's findings, saying the matter was a "battle of the experts."
"Aside from ... [the forensic anthropologist], no less than three other fingerprint experts have excluded Darlie as being a possible source," Mr. Cooper said.
Mr. Cooper said a bigger issue was that a state's expert told jurors at trial that the bloody print was of such poor quality, it could not be used to identify or exclude anyone.
"And now they're taking the position they've excluded a whole bunch of people but can't exclude Darlie, which I find convenient and highly contradictory of what they were telling the jury was true."
Prosecutors also filed an affidavit from Mr. Wertheim in which he accuses Ms. Routier's lawyers of misrepresenting testimony from the state's first fingerprint expert.
Responding to another defense allegation, prosecutor Toby Shook signed an affidavit saying he never knew before Ms. Routier's trial that a forensic analyst had been hospitalized for alcohol treatment and that he didn't think the man's drinking interfered with the analyst's work.
A psychiatrist prosecutors consulted before Ms. Routier's trial signed an affidavit stating he never told them whether Ms. Routier posed a future danger – an issue a jury must decide before handing down a death sentence.

Fellow Traders,
I executed my first trade of the year on the first trading day of the year. I think that is a first for me. Yet another first is that the trade was in Clorox (CLX), a stock I had not previously traded. OK, that's enough 'firsts' for one post.
Here's the trade I executed: STO 1 FEB CLX $87.50 put at $1.50.
This trade idea came courtesy of my investing friend and mentor Teddi at www.fullyinformed.com.
This trade has the potential to generate a return of 1.63% with a holding period of 51 days. That equates to an annualized return of 11.66%. That is just under my target return of 12%. However, CLX is a lower risk trade so I feel comfortable accepting the slightly lower return.
Here is my trade plan:
If the market sell-off continues for the next couple of days I'm sure more trades will begin to pop up on my radar screen.

And finally when the sun came out and allowed us to photograph, the entire city of Dallas came out to get in our backgrounds. 🙂 But we finally got it done, and then Miss E made her appearance right before Easter! Hope you enjoy these images that we got before and after she was born.

Re: What specification needs to be implemented by a jive sdk?whoiskevin Oct 23, 2014 7:28 AM (in response to craig.reeves)
I don't think that is documented in a single place at this point. I do think we could start to put that together by reverse engineering the documentation that does exist and the node sdk pieces that are responsible for generation of the Jive specific configuration files. After that the rest is really just a REST model. Still it would be nice if it were a specification that was a bit easier to follow from a single source.
Re: What specification needs to be implemented by a jive sdk?Ryan Rutan Nov 5, 2014 7:33 AM (in response to whoiskevin)1 person found this helpful
I would definitely start with this document:
Jive Platform - Developer Resources but specifically ...
Jive Platform Data Flows and Sequence Diagrams (REST/JSON)
This document outlines the service exchanges necessary for a service to integrate with Jive as an add-on.
Also, as a side note..I created this repo for you Craig Reeves =) - jivesoftware/jive-sdk-php · GitHub

October 1, 2018
The Biddeford+Saco Chamber of Commerce+Industry Board of Directors is pleased to announce that it has selected Jim LaBelle as the organization's next Executive Director.
LaBelle has over 30 years of private-sector marketing and financial management experience. He most recently served as the Vice President of Marketing at Raw Seafoods in Fall River, MA, where his accomplishments included developing a three-year strategic plan for the company and launching a new line of value-added seafood products. After vacationing with his family in the Biddeford and Saco region for the past ten years, LaBelle recently decided to permanently move to Biddeford and seek a more community and service-focused leadership endeavor. LaBelle starts his new position on Monday, October 15, 2018.

LaBelle was selected from a pool of six finalists who interviewed for the position. The interview process was conducted by members of the Chamber's Board of Directors.
"We were pleased to select Mr. Labelle for this position," said Scott Gillespie, the chair of the Chamber's search committee.

"I look forward to Jim's goal-oriented, collaborative and enthusiastic approach to leadership and believe that Jim LaBelle has the skills to bring the Chamber to the next level," added Stephen P. St. Cyr, the chairperson of the Chamber's Board.
Biddeford Mayor Alan Casavant serves as a member of the Board of Directors and assisted in interviewing the candidates for the Executive Director position. "Having interviewed Mr. LaBelle, I believe that he understands our community and is passionate about making a difference in this position," said Casavant. "The Chamber of Commerce is an important asset to Biddeford, and we look forward to collaborating with Jim as their new Executive Director."
Robert Biggs, Executive Director of Saco Main Street, was drawn to Labelle's pleasant demeanor and strong desire to bring positive changes to our communities during the interview process. "Jim Labelle has extensive corporate experience bringing strong marketing and communication skills to the Chamber of Commerce," Biggs said. "I am excited about the opportunity of Saco Main Street and the Heart of Biddeford working with Jim in his new role with the Chamber, collaborating to continue to build a stronger Saco and Biddeford."

Like all eternal kids I'm a big fan of fireworks, so I was genuinely excited to be photographing the fireworks display for Pyro1 to mark the opening of the new Student Union accommodation right by Wembley Stadium. When it comes to pyrotechnics everything is timed to the second and this display was going to last for just 180! No pressure then! I knew that once the display began I would have very little room for manoeuvre, which meant I needed to arrive with plenty of time to scope the area and look for the best location to set up my tripod. As I'd be using longer exposures to capture the fireworks I needed to be sure that there were no lampposts in the foreground of my frame which would not only be distracting but the light from them would over-expose the image. Once I'd found my spot I waited for the start of the display with Mark who was acting as time-keeper and was in walkie-talkie contact with Neil on top of the building where the fireworks had been set up. Before I knew it we were off – and I began to understand the 3 and 5 and 10 second chunks of time that pyrotechnicans are used to working with. Three minutes actually felt much longer than I expected!
With any form of night photography it's not really until you see the images on the back of the camera (or, even better, on your computer screen) that you get to see the full magnitude of the lights you've captured which are not visible for more than a split second to the human eye.
