People love their pets just as much as they do human members of the family. When a dog, cat, or any other type of pet passes on, it can be absolutely devastating for a family. The animals have nothing but kindness in their hearts and love to give, and when they are gone, it can feel like a piece of you is gone too.
That's part of the reason why pet cemeteries are becoming so popular these days.
Burying a pet in a proper cemetery can give a family extra assurance that their beloved family member will be able to rest in peace versus burying them in some random spot in nature. Not only does it allow the family a quiet place to go visit their dearly departed pet if they are ever missing them, but it also gives the family a bit of closure so that they are able to move on. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
When a popular pet cemetery was closed down recently, thousands of pet owners found out the hard way that the laws surrounding pet cemeteries aren't nearly as strict as they are for human resting places.
The cemetery in question is named Heavenly Acres Pet Cemetery and it's located in Brighton, Michigan.
It is one of the largest pet cemeteries in the world, home to over 74,000 deceased pets. However, something many pet owners were never told upfront is that Heavenly Acres doesn't actually own the land they were burying pets on. They leased it, and the business's lease on the land expired on September 30, 2018.
Now pet owners are being presented with a harrowing choice.
They can either schedule a 3 to 4 hour time slot to exhume their dead pet's body from the ground, or face never being able to visit them again. They have until September 7, 2019, to decide. After that date, no one will be allowed to enter the property again for any reason. Any attempt by families to go visit their pets again or dig them up after September 7 will be considered trespassing.
It's a pretty horrible situation all around and neither choice is very palatable. Can you imagine how much grief it would cause a family to have to dig up their deceased pets — all in varying states of decomposition?
The cemetery has been in operation for over 40 years and many families have multiple dogs and cats buried there.
Around a month after the land lease expired, all of the pet owners received the surprise letter in the mail notifying them of their options.
One pet owner, Helen Boutorwick, described her experience.
"When I got that letter I just lost it," Boutorwick told Livingston Daily. "They are acting like we have antique watches out there, not fur babies."
Adding insult to injury was the fact that there are no longer any maps of the cemetery available for pet owners to use. For those who don't have a good memory, trying to locate a pet's grave amidst 74,000 other pets can be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"We went to the bush and found the graves… I dropped to my knees in horror. My mother would be devastated," Boutorwick said.
Boutorwick's mother saved for years in order to be able to afford to bury her pets there.
A ceremony and burial at Heavenly Acres typically costs around $800. Boutorwick also added that without the maps, it took her and husband over two hours to locate the grave they were looking for. Other distraught families weren't so lucky. They searched for the full four hours permitted and were unable to locate their pets.
While the whole situation is extremely depressing, sadly, there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it.
According to Heavenly Acre's lawyers, there were no laws broken. However, thousands of hearts certainly were. For any pet owners thinking about burying their beloved pets in one of these types of cemeteries in the future, we strongly suggest that you do as much due diligence into the business as possible to avoid something similar happening. No one should ever be forced to dig up their dead pet's body.

The fifth annual Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival returns today.
The 10 day event, which runs until Sunday October 18, will take place at various locations around the town, beaches and gardens.
The opening weekend will host more than 65 performances by 20 performers.
A host of free entry events are lined-up as part of the festival, which is jointly funded by Bournemouth council and the Arts Council.
This year's theme is light, taking the lead from the UNESCO International Year of Light.
Here's a look at some of the free events you won't want to miss.
For more information and for the full schedule of events, go to Artsbournemouth.org.uk
1. A digital firework display on a 60ft screen
Friday, October 9 – Saturday, October 10, 7.30pm, 8.15pm and 9pm
Award-winning digital artist Seb Lee-Delisle will be bringing his PixelPyros digital fireworks display to Pier Approach on a giant 60ft screen. The interactive show is choreographed entirely by members of the public and is coded completely in C++ and openFrameworks.
Touch the bright orbs of light to fire an array of multi-coloured rockets which are projected onto the screen using state of the art projectors and lasers. It's up to the crowd to decide which fireworks are triggered when. No two firework displays are ever the same.
2. See Bourne Stream transformed into a river of light
Sunday, October 11, Lower Gardens, 7pm
Internationally acclaimed lighting studio Creatmosphere will be transforming Bourne Stream into a river of light in what promises to be a unique public art experience.
A new light installation will be created especially for the Arts by the Sea Festival. Meet on the lawn outside the Bandstand in the Lower Gardens from 10am to create your own illuminated object ahead of the spectacular launch at 7pm.
Creatmosphere have previously created installations on the River Thames, Canada's Bow River and on the River Arno for last year's Notte Bianca in Florence.
3. Create a piece of eco-graffiti using your finger
Friday, October 9 – Sunday, October 11, 4pm – 8pm
French digital artist Antonin Fourneau will be bringing his interactive artwork to The Cloisters by Harry Ramsden's on Undercliff Drive.
Use a paintbrush, water spray or even your finger to make contact with the thousands of LED lights embedded beneath a giant wall which light up to create a piece of unique eco-graffiti.
4. Witness silent storytelling at St Peter's Church
Friday, October 9 - Sunday, October 18, 12.30pm - 4.30pm, Resurrection Chapel, St Peter's Church
International artists Davy and Kristin McGuire use water as the actual canvas for the haunting hologram of Shakepeare's tragic character Ophelia for this unique art installation.
Their hybrid art works are built with fragile materials that are momentarily brought to life through digital projections and silent storytelling. This is the first performance to be staged at St Peter's Church since its recent refurbishment.
5. See an open-air pyrotechnic performance - in a car park
Sunday, October 18, 7.30pm, Cotlands Road car park
Closing the event will be a spectacular open-air theatre performance of Ray Bradbury's thrilling novel, Fahrenheit 451, using pyrotechnics and surround sound to bring the story to life in the unusual setting of Cotlands Road car park.
The event, presented by Periplum and Corn Exchange Newbury, is free to attend but tickets are required. This show is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years. To book your ticket, click here
6. Russell Cotes turns pink
The Russell-Cotes Museum will turn pink by Bournemouth-based lighting designer Michael Grubb for the opening weekend.
7. Pull an 'All Nighter' at St Peter's Church
Saturday, October 17, 9pm - 4am
St Peters Church will be transforming itself into a unique ambient chill out venue for its annual 'All-Nighter'.
8. Listen to a sonic phenomenon
Saturday, October 10 - Sunday, October 11, Lower Gardens, Free
An underground sonic phenomenon is happening right here in Bournemouth – and it can only be heard with ear trumpets in the Lower Gardens. Join Gobbledegook Theatre and listen out for the sound that has become "harmonically trapped inside ancient rocks" beneath the surface.
9. Help build a collection of water
Wednesday, October 15 - Sunday, October 18, 10am - 6pm, The Bandstand, Free
A melted snowman, three types of wee and water from a bedside table said to be infused with dreams are just some of the 600 bottles of exhibits on display at the Museum of Water. Take along the water that's most precious to you in a bottle and help add to Amy Sharrocks' collection.

Presented by: Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard
Workshop Description:
This workshop is designed for those who seek to expand their vocabulary of ceramic forms and techniques, break out of a rut, or inject some new energy into an uninspired studio practice. We will explore techniques used to create wheel thrown and altered pieces based on traditional pottery forms, combined with hand built elements to construct unique functional and sculptural vessels in porcelain. Techniques as stretching, altering and darting, and the use of found objects to apply texture. Throughout the workshop, participants are encouraged to engage in an open dialogue and presentation of sources of inspiration, as well as the significance of the hand made object in the context of contemporary material culture.
Registration: free for Harvard Undergraduates; $50.00 for Harvard Graduate Students; $75.00 for adults enrolled in a course; $125 for adults not enrolled in a course.
This workshop will feature a one-hour pot luck lunch break for those participating.

How many times have you said "I saw you left a voicemail. Haven't listened to it, but I'm calling you back."? I have to admit there are a number of unheard voicemails on my phone, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested or have not responded.
Some studies show that voicemails are increasingly thought to be a waste of time, especially with a younger customer demographic. In fact, 72% of U.S. adults surveyed by Marketing Sherpa prefer communication with companies to happen through email.
As millennials and GenXers take on increasingly important roles in the companies you serve, you may need to rethink your marketing and sales strategy. Those groups are less likely to pay attention to voicemails—they grew up with caller ID. So is voicemail dead? Inbound marketing automation leader HubSpot says no, and we agree.
It takes 8-10 touches to connect with a prospect, and some of those should include voicemail. HubSpot's salespeople leave a voicemail on every other call until they reach the prospect or close out the lead.
We recommend a different approach. Spend the time to carefully pre-qualify your leads with the following steps:
- Implement lead scoring to identify best-fit prospects
- Create a "smart list" (auto-populating or running list) of those prospects
- Research their website and LinkedIn profile
After carefully identifying best-bet prospects, we make 8 phone calls over 2 weeks, with voicemails after 2 of those calls (stopping, of course, if we're able to reach the prospect at their desk).
Every organization's sales cycle is different, so this approach may not be a fit for your salespeople and customers. Reserve your judgment, and consider testing the effectiveness of different approaches, like:
- Short voicemail (Just your name, company and phone) vs. long voicemail (a more articulate reason for connecting with the prospect)
- Multi-day vs. once-a-week sales call follow-up
- Most successful days (Thursday & Wednesday) and times (4-5pm and 8-10pm) to call

Lack of sleep=lots of fun
Tori put on a marvelous show, as always. It was her Halloween party, so the band and road crew were in costume, as well as many fans. For some reason, Jon Evans as a vampire really reminded me of the guy I dated my senior year of high school. Don't know why, but he made me think of Jay. Loved the fake blood on the piano, as well as the other props. We'll see what she does in Cleveland tomorrow night.
Last night/this morning, I got home at 1:00 AM, and Zuzu woke me shortly before 5:00. Took a nap this afternoon. I love my job! Was editing video, so I got to knit while it digitized and the DVD burned. Started the pattern rounds of the Eesti Trail Hiking Sock. Confession - I didn't do a gauge swatch, so it might not fit. But as the Yarn Harlot says, there's always someone out there that can wear your socks. Actually, I tried it on, and it seems to fit, and perhaps be a bit large. Best case, they fit Mike (since I probably owe him more socks). Unfortunately, I'm using short needles, so I doubt that he can try on the sock while it's the ninja sock of death, and I don't think I'll take it off the needles for him to test. I'll figure out something about the foot someday.
Still working on a ton of projects, and wasting too much time on Ravelry. Mostly done with the first test clog; only have to double the cuff and do the second sole. Okay, going to just post now and knit for a while before the kiddies start showing up and asking for candy.
Oh - wanted to share this, so my non-knitting friends know that I'm not making it up. :-)
Also, found a Ravelry group that I totally identify with - So much to knit, so little time. I *never* try to do more than I can physically accomplish... Right, Mike?

Day of the (almost) FO's
Took them to Miss Chickpea's and dropped them off, along with a matching hot pink scarf that had been lingering in the scarf bag. Finished Sock #2 first, then frogged the tip of the toe of Sock #1, as I'd made it too pointy. It really wasn't that bad; only three-four rows needed to come out. No charity hat this year, although I will keep the yarn and can work on something after Christmas.
Finished the body of the stripey tote bag, too, plus one strap. Should be able to finish the second strap tonight, as they don't take very long. Needed my size 13 circs for all the clogs I'm making, and as the bag was so nearly done it was easier to finish it than to take the bag off the needles.
Oh, and finished reading "Spook" today, too. Very enjoyable.
What else? Haven't dug out the yarn for my test clogs yet, but probably will tonight. Should also take a picture of the mound o'yarn that will be my November sweater. Hopefully I'll have enough left over to make a hat and maybe mittens.
Upcoming projects:
NaKniSweMo Sweater
Mike's hat
Clogs for Christmas
Eesti Trail Socks (Nancy Bush October Sockdown - need to be finished by Nov. 30)
Baby hats (good friend plus neighbor both expecting winter babies)
Jaywalker Socks (must jump on very cute bandwagon...)
Lots of other socks (even though sock yarn is not stash, it's taking up a lot of space)
Anyway, must finish handle!
Oh, and we had a lovely party yesterday. I made enough food for twice our usual turnout (which is my normal party preparation), and since we kept things small this year I had way more than it was physically possible to eat. Mike and I will have leftovers for a week. Good thing about smaller parties - I actually had the chance to enjoy more than half a pint of beer. Not too much more, but some. Loved the chocolate stout cake. And pirogie casserole. That was probably the hit of the party. Aside from Mike's homebrew. Everyone loved his beer.

*I'm* a winner!
Also, got a call from my mom the other day, oddly in the middle of the day. She wanted to tell me that the Crafty Ewe had called, and she had won a gift bag from Katidid. Apparently I won "the frame of my choice" also. Now *that* will be difficult. I have to choose? I guess I should look at my projects and pick a frame that would fit one of them. But I haven't talked to the people, so I don't know if it's the choice of any frame in the shop or a choice of a selection. Hopefully I can stop by tomorrow to pick up our prizes.
Need to clean and cook for Saturday. Cleaned a bit tonight, but still more to do. Also need to figure out what I'm going to cook, so I can shop.
Swatched for the NaKniSweMo sweater; haven't measured or anything, but the (first) swatch is done. Also started a swatch for Jaywalkers, but think I grabbed the wrong needles so it will be waaay too big. Need to finish charity sock #2, swatch/cast on for October's Sock KAL (Nancy Bush's Eesti Trail Hiking Socks, I think - it's either a Nancy Bush pattern or something with cables, and I'd rather deal with a little bit of color work than cables right now). I feel like it's cheating, but hey. I have other things to worry about. And might worry about those, not the socks. We'll see.
Oh well. I should go to bed. Had a nap this afternoon, but could still sleep more.

We have a winner!
And for Christmas, well, I think I'm cancelling (or at least postponing) some of the socks. I will be making clogs for the guys, instead of socks. (Clogs are *MUCH!!!* faster than men's socks, even on worsted.) So mark at least four pairs of socks off the list. Maybe the adult women will get clogs, too. I need to make a pair from my stash (I have enough Wool of the Andes that this shouldn't be a problem!) to see how they work and how well the yarn felts, (also get an idea of sizing) and then I can order the yarn I need from Knitpicks. It's significantly cheaper than Lamb's Pride Worsted or Cascade 220, but I should still have enough of an order to get the free shipping. If not, I can certainly add some sock yarn! (It was hard to *not* shop after I saw their teaser for hand-dyed yarn. I am such a sucker for hand-dyed.
What's really sad about the Christmas stuff is that I made stuff for Mike's family already. In January. I used the Knitpicks Hot out of the Oven free pattern and made potholders and oven mitts for each family. Difficult? Time-consuming? Not at all. But I thought it would do, as I found some really cute flowerpots (also in January) with veggies and so on, and Mike could type up his pizza crust recipe, and I could stuff the pots with herb and veggie seeds, as well as the yarn items, and we'd be set for Christmas for his family. Guess not. And I was so proud of myself to have had the Christmas gifts done (with the exception of the seeds) in the first part of the year. Too bad.
Oh well. As usual, I'm wasting time on the computer when I should be working on something. At least Ravelry provided some inspiration this morning. Current project update: Charity Sock #2 has a turned heel, but I haven't yet picked up the stitches for the gusset. It needs to be done by Monday. I've actually been working on Stripey Sock #2 over the past few days, and it is about a stripe or two away from finishing. I've been reading during the drive time lately (rush hour - not while moving!) so I haven't been knitting, but I can get back to knitting as I'm skipping a book club thing tomorrow (easy to do, I guess, as I haven't been, but I'd wanted to go especially since the book they picked was the one I'd just requested from the library... ) and don't have to finish the book by Thursday PM.
Anyway, I've now just wasted even more time, and I really need to get ready for work.

Knitting religion (or something)
And, telling people who "only do scarves" that they can do so much more: "Double-pointeds just look hard - you're really only knitting with two needles at once." "Toe-up socks are really easy - you can do it!"
Also been telling non-knitters about how faboo (thanks, Wacko!) Ravelry is, and that they should learn to knit (or crochet) so they can be part of the community. (I think Kel's taking my advice.) Someday I'll document my whole stash and post it, plus all my projects and stuff. Maybe this qualifies me for GeekCraft (I did join, but haven't posted) - I made a spreadsheet of all of the scarves I've made, what they were made of, and who they ended up with. That said, I haven't updated the list for a while (and probably couldn't accurately do it now), but it does exist... No photos to post, though. Oh well. They were just boring scarves, so no need to really add to the project list. I should update the sock list - I wonder where Mike's first socks are. He never wore them much. Don't know why. I'll need to make him more someday. With reinforcing thread in the toes and heels so they last longer.
Was planning on working at work today, and since I can't do it (don't ask) I'm knitting/now posting instead. Lost a DPN yesterday (I think it's on a client's desk, as I was showing her the charity socks and telling her that yes, she *can* make socks, too!) so the charity socks are a bit sidelined. Will call Monday to see if she found it, or if I need to buyForgot to bring the stripey socks, so I can't turn the heel for sock #2. I keep forgetting about the stripey socks. The green stripey Knitpicks Parade will probably be socks for my mother-in-law. Have some KnitCol (brought it with me today!), and I think I will make Jaywalker socks out of it for my oldest niece. Or her mom, I'm not sure. That may be the third pair of socks on the needles right now. Second sock syndrome? Maybe, maybe not. Although if I'm going to make so many socks for Christmas, I'll need to keep better notes! Will need to get some manly sock yarn so I can make socks for the men of the family. Will probably try the hiking sock pattern in the Interweave Favorite Socks book. Really want to try the undulating rib pattern, but haven't really looked at it, so I'm not scared yet. May get scared when I read the details. May also need more yarn, just because.
My Yarn Pirate Booty showed up the other day! A big skein of fun sock yarn (very suitable Halloween colors!) and two circular needles. Maybe I can try Magic Loop now, with one of those (1's and 2's) plus my interchangeable set.
Anyway, I should probably get back to the socks, since I'll have a lot of work to do at home tonight/tomorrow. Only 2.25 hours left to knit before I go home...must take advantage of it....

If I have to stare at a computer, at least let me do something fun.
So I am sitting here, waiting for a file to download, babysitting several computers, and wishing that I could be knitting. Or reading. Or doing something other than staring at a computer screen, watching the slow progress of my download. But it's a very professional office, so I need to pretend to be busy, even though I am really a glorified babysitter right now. Yay, 38% downloaded. Less than an hour left to go, at this speed. Trying to restrict my internet use, as I don't want to waste bandwidth, so let's write in Notepad and post later.
Went out last night, to North End Market. Finished the first charity sock. Wasn't paying as much attention to the pattern as I should have, and the toe is a bit pointy as a result. I haven't woven in the ends yet, and will compare to the properly done pair to see if the pointy toe is too pointy. I really didn't pay much attention to the foot, either, as it was a bit longer than it needed to be – but hey, so it's for a size 9 rather than an 8.5. Although with the extended toe, maybe it's really for a size 9.5. Maybe I *should* rip out the toe and a few rows of foot.
While I think about unraveling the first sock, I've started on the second. The ribbing is done, and I am ready to start the pattern rows. I really think I'll have enough yarn left over to make a hat, as there is a substantial ball remaining after sock #1 has been completed. And even a bit more will be generated, if I do rip out the toe and part of the foot. It would be the absolute last-resort-almost-done yarn, if I needed it, but it would be there. Maybe I should frog the toe. The Malabrigo is wooly enough that I should be able to find my stitches (part of the reason I hardly ever rip things out is that I have a terrible time finding/picking up my stitches again).
Woo-hoo! The download speed seems to be picking up. Don't know if it's because I closed just about everything except Word or if it finished downloading on someone else's machine. Oh, wait, now it's slowing down again. 58% done now, though. Maybe it will finish before 4:00. Or at least before 4:30. Please?
Back to my knitting… Really enjoyed making Kel's socks with the Jarbo Garn Raggi; perhaps I should get more of that for the socks for my husband's family. It's a bigger yarn, so they stitch up pretty quickly, and if I have 15 pairs of socks to knit for Christmas, I want them to go quickly. Is that right? There's Mike, his two brothers and his dad. Four men's socks (eight, if you count them as individuals). Two sisters-in-law and one mom. We're up to seven pairs. Two teens, and two young kids. Eleven. And I'm mostly done with a pair for my sister, and I should make some for her husband, as we're making things as gifts (at least that's our plan…). Thirteen. I also promised a pair to Danielle, so that's fourteen. Who am I missing? I made a list, but it's either at home or in the car, not with me. I have made two pairs for my mom already, so she shouldn't be on the list. I apologize to whomever I'm forgetting – maybe it's me! I'd like to add these to my Ravelry queue, but I haven't picked out the pattern or the yarn for all of them yet (hmm, I wonder who sells Raggi in the Cleveland area?) and I don't know that I'm willing to give up much of the sock yarn that's already in my stash. (Those are socks for me! Although my Yarn Booty shipped today, so perhaps *that* yarn will become socks for me, and my stash will become gifts.) Also, the time that I could spend uploading things to Ravelry would probably be better spent knitting.
Oh! The missing pair is the charity pair… Don't know how I forgot those. Anyway, if I'm halfway done with that pair, there's only fourteen more to go before Christmas. Definitely do-able!
As for other projects, well, I joined the NaKniSweMo group. If you're familiar with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), National Knit a Sweater Month is also November. I think I want to do the Easy Raglan Cardigan in Malabrigo (as I can't seem to get enough of that yarn!), and perhaps I'll use my charity-sock coupon from Miss Chickpea's to buy the yarn. Apparently there is a formula for figuring out how many rows you need to do each day to finish a sweater; I'll have to look into it a bit more before the end of the month. Don't know if I want to do stripes or what. Yeah, perhaps stripes, as they don't require *too* much thought but keep things vaguely interesting.
Then again, to do thirty socks by Christmas, I could just aim for one a day for the month of November. I wonder how much time it would take – do a sock a day, plus the daily allotment of sweater. Forget cleaning the house, forget sleeping, I'd rather knit!
Mike always says that I try to get too much done in too short of a time. I guess this is a classic example of that. But right now I feel like I could get it all done! Although get everything done and read the books that I want to read? Maybe not. Just started "Spook" by Mary Roach today while I was waiting in line to get lunch. Really enjoyed "Stiff", so I thought I'd give her new one a try. Also checked out "Switching Time" by Richard Baer, which is about a woman with multiple personalities. Heard him interviewed on NPR, and thought the book was worth a look, at least from the library.
Anyway, I will probably spend the next few minutes staring at the download screen again, as the speed has picked up again, I'm at 95%, and supposedly only have two minutes left. After it's done, I'm leaving, and will come back tomorrow to install it on all the machines. I hope I get home before rush hour! Maybe I'll go to the yarn swap in Cuyahoga Falls tonight, but I probably should just stay home and knit.

New place to waste time
On Friday, my Ravelry invitation showed up, and that has inspired me to get a real blog, so my posts will tie in with my account there. I may cross post for a while, (and repost some recent ones), but I'm ready to pretend to be a grownup now.
I've been spending every spare moment I have (not a lot) updating Ravelry - and realizing how late I am for something else. Which also applies now. I need to run, move towards work. Will post more later.....

Good news morning
Anyway, it's been a busy week. Out of town early in the week, then my mom came in for the North Coast Tour de Stitch. Turns out her car was in worse shape than assumed, as we took it to the Lusty Wrench after Mike noticed an oil leak on the driveway. They wouldn't let her have it back until a tie rod was replaced, as the one she had was liable to go at any moment. The radiator also has big holes. The oil leaks were the least of the problems.
Our fourth year of the tour was hindered a bit by her car issues, as we were supposed to take her car, as mine needs work as well. We took my car to Toledo and Findlay, with a stops in Broadview Heights and Vermilion. Friday we went to Madison and Strongsville, (with a non-tour stop in Bay Village), and then dropped by the Lusty Wrench to pay for the car (and then sit in rush hour traffic.) We picked up her car and drive it home yesterday, and then went to Canton to finish the tour. We tried to stop in Akron, but Blueberry Hill closes at 2:00 on Saturdays now, and we got there at 2:15. What else? Ate lunch at Grammy Joe's Ice Creamatorium on Thursday, Juniper Grille on Friday, Gasoline Alley on Saturday. (I feel like my grandma, reporting on her trips - although she'd write how much they spent on each item. I still miss her quite a bit.) Stopped by Cornerstone Yarns on Saturday, but they closed at 4:00. We were late for all of the early-closing places, but that's okay. I just wanted to scope out Cornerstone Yarns for the knitters.
Oh, and we stopped at Joann's last night, too. It was a craft-filled long weekend! We debated going to Shaker Lakes, but decided that the travel time would be too excessive.
My big excitement was getting an invitation to Ravelry on Friday. I foresee myself spending too much time there. Speaking of which, I just got sidetracked there. Had to get a Flickr account, but will probably be posting most of my knitting pictures there. I can share the Flickr account with any of you who care. Ravelry is *fabulous*! I can post stash yarns, works in progress, projects in the queue, keep track of my needles, and talk to other people who are just as obsessed as I am!
Anyway, I have a lot to do today, so I should get back to real life. May or may not post more frequently; depends on what happens. May need to post here to share the cross stitch projects that I will hopefully be working on amidst all the knitting.

Morning after rambles
After doing our damage, we were out to get the free project bags. Miss Chickpea's was having a knit-in to support breast cancer research, and generate items for survivors. Chemo caps and whatnot. We signed our names to the pledge forms, picked up our goody bags, and sat on the green for a while. Now, everyone who knows me knows that I am so totally NOT a girly-girl. Very few of you have ever seen me wear pink (as only Kelly is the one who knew my eight-year-old self) and when pink, it's very rarely pastel. (Disclaimer: I do have a pink nightshirt, but it was free. Perhaps I should say that rarely am I outdoors wearing pink, or even just that I rarely wear pink where people can see it.) Pink just isn't me. Well, I bought some pink yarn yesterday. I'm sure everyone knows that pink=supporting the fight against breast cancer, supporting survivors, or whatnot. So pink was in abundance at Miss Chickpea's yesterday (and probably will be throughout the month). My survivor project will be.....SOCKS! (No surprise there, right?) I found some shocking pink Malabrigo that wants to be socks (and possibly a hat, as there is a decent bit left over from my rainbow socks). Those socks should be my next project, as they are due by the end of the month.
Otherwise, I shopped for Mike. Picked up some dark grey Malabrigo for socks for him (he wants some custom-fitted, toe-up socks, and I love the warmth and softness of Malabrigo), and some hat yarn. He wants a winter hat, so I found some black Ultra Alpaca from Berroco. Also grabbed some Lamb's Pride worsted in Onyx and Wild Mustard so I can make a Pittsburgh-sports hat. Will probably spend a decent bit of time today winding, as I don't yet have a ball winder, and these projects should be done before Christmas.
But I digress. I'm just a bit too preoccupied with yarn. The six of us came back to the house, and Mike started sharing beer. He entertained, while I put together a cheese tray and chopped veggies for the salad/pizza toppings. Made Jessica a margarita, as she is not a beer drinker. Hopefully it was acceptable - it was mostly strawberries. Blended frozen strawberries with some lime juice and a shot each of tequila and triple sec. I just kinda guessed on the proportions.
Finally the girls had learned more than they wanted to know about beer (and more!), and the group moved upstairs. While they enjoyed Mike's beer (Patti took home a growler of the chocolate stout - four less pints for me to drink; and *everyone* loves New Glarus Raspberry Tart and Belgian Red) I assembled some pizzas with the dough Mike made on Friday night, and the first two pizzas quickly disappeared. Shortly after that, our friends Carl and Jan showed up, with their friend Ron, and much of the third and fourth pizzas disappeared. (This morning, there was half a pizza left. I blame Mike, as I would have made another batch of dough, so we would have had two and a half pizzas left. Or people would have eaten more, who knows. I always make too much when left to my own devices.)
And then the chocolate cake... Thanks again to Kel and Shawn for the recipe. I shared it with Patti, too. (She deserved it - I couldn't give her directions because I was stirring and stirring and stirring and stirring... Thank goodness Mike could take over.) Fabulous as always. Very moist and chocolatey.
After the cake was cut, Rebecca and Matt showed up. They had lots going on, but we were glad they could make it. Matt spent his time with the guys in the basement man-cave, and Rebecca showed off her knitting and some of the yarn she'd dyed. Beautiful stuff!
Anyway, it was an evening filled with good conversation, good yarn, good food, and good music. The Dar DVD didn't want to play the audio at first, but Mike used his magic to make it work.
Oh yeah, cleanup was a breeze. Probably the easiest after-party cleaning I've had ever. I ran the dishwasher twice, once during the party and then after, and all the dishes were clean. (Aside from the cake pans, as they are nonstick and not dishwasher safe.)
I've learned (yet again, and will forget before the next party) that, while I have fun at my parties, I always miss out on something. Yesterday, even though it was a knitting event, I hardly knitted at all. (I did a few rows on Cookie 2 on the green, and then rewound the yarn so it didn't get too crazy-tangled, and did a round or so on Royal Llama sock 2 back at the house.) There was lots of beer, but I hardly had any (just a few sample glasses when everyone was downstairs--not even a full pint). Made a big salad, and didn't eat any (but a good bit is left over - that can be lunch today). Oh well - I definitely enjoyed the company. And the encouragement on Stripey Sweater. I'm certainly a better knitter now than I was when I started it, so I could probably pick up the stitches decently well. I should post a picture, since Stripey Sweater is downstairs now. Should also rename the thing--3HDTWLGWJ maybe, except that's even longer to type than Stripey Sweater. Maybe SAS for Stripey Alpaca Sweater. Okay, end tangent here.
Oh well - there's more than enough documented here. I can certainly ramble, eh? Time's a wasting, and I should start yarn winding. Or turning heels. Or picking up stitches. Or wiping down the counter. Or playing with the kitty, as she was an anti-social scaredy-cat most of yesterday. Definitely need to do something more productive than this.

Quick update
As far as knitting, I'm hovering just below the heel of the second stripey sock, as I haven't had a solid hour to devote to turning the heel. I started the second Royal Llama sock (fewer stitches, less time needed to create the toe) and am most of the way through the foot. Have something like four rounds to go before turning that heel. I want to have that pair done before my mom gets here on Wednesday. I will need to block them (as well as the stripeys) since they're kinda saggy and bulgy. Or something. They don't really look *that* bad (Danielle liked the pattern, and her socks will be the same one) but I'll feel better if I block them, I think. Will post a picture when both socks-in-progress are finished (and maybe even blocked).
What else? The more I listen to Spoon, the more I like them.
Anyway, breakfast is finished, so I'm off to make that chocolate cake! Let's hope I can find the recipe!

Mike's dirty trick and other mean people
Last night I had a class at Tri-C (Corporate College), so I was on my own to find something for dinner. Missed hanging out with the knitters, but if I can increase my income and skill set after just three weeks, it's worth it. Remembered that there is a Chipotle somewhat near the college, and pulled into the parking lot just as it started to rain. Noticed a spot near the front, and was pleased that I wouldn't have to get soaked to get my dinner. But oh, no, the spot was partially filled by some idiot in a Kia who apparently doesn't think that the lines apply to him. A *KIA*. Not an expensive, luxury car, but a cheap-ass Kia. Not to say there's anything wrong with Kia, not at all, but it's not an $80,000 Mercedes or Audi or something that might justify taking two spaces so as not to get scratched. A *KIA*. I still can't believe it. Their top-of-the-line car starts at $26k. Brand new Amanti with *everything* is under $31k, excluding tax. Anyway, he sat in the car, on his cell phone, with the car running for the whole time it took his woman to run into Chipotle and get their dinner. Chipotle was busy, too. Then at Trader Joe's tonight, there was another guy parked across two spaces, but at least he had the decency to not block two prime spaces in the rain. And he had a car that was worth more than a Kia.
In other news, I am putting off cleaning the house. I will get started, soon, as I don't have much time before I pass out from the exhaustion that results from a too-early morning. And if anyone wants to hear the saddest story ever, let me know offline. I don't want to post it due to privacy concerns. Very sad.
Oh, and I've been listening to a radio station that my grandma would enjoy. I miss her quite a bit, still. And here goes Zuzu behind the TV. Time for me to get my exercise and see what she's doing.

First timer? In this formerly once-a-day blog (then every-other-day blog and now a two-or-three-times a week blog), I have my computer select a random latitude and longitude that puts me somewhere in the continental United States (the lower 48). I call this "landing." I keep track of the watersheds I land in, as well as the town I land near. I do some internet research to hopefully find something of interest about my landing location. To find out more about A Landing A Day (like who "Dan" is and what the various numbers and abbreviations mean), please see "About Landing," (and "Abbreviations" and "Cryptic Numbers") above.
Dan – The curse continues with yet another western OSer . . . OR; 72/61; 2/10 (1/9); 9; 153.7. It seems like 150 is now months away . . .
Anyway, here's my landing map, showing my proximity to Joseph and Enterprise as well as Wallowa Lake (the unnamed lake just south of Joseph):
Speaking of Wallowa Lake, I landed in the watershed of the Wallowa R (2nd hit); on to the Grande Ronde R (3rd hit); on to the Snake (70th hit); to the Columbia (137th hit). More locally, I landed in the Pine Tree Gulch watershed (my 15th watershed with the word "Pine" in it); on to Prairie Creek (my 11th watershed with the word "Prairie" in it).
Here's my GE shot, showing that I landed in an arid Martian landscape:
Here's an expanded, oblique GE shot looking SE across Wallowa Lake that shows I did not land on Mars, but rather in a lovely corner of Oregon:
Speaking of a corner of Oregon, it is the NE corner:
As already noted, I landed near the town of Joseph. At first glance, I thought maybe Joseph was named after Joseph Smith. Northeast Oregon is quite a ways from Salt Lake City, and I didn't think the Mormons were big in Oregon, but who knows. After all, I landed near Pima AZ, formerly called Smithville and named after Joseph Smith. Pima AZ is a whopping 546 from Salt Lake City, while Joseph OR is only 418 miles away.
By the way, my thanks to the City Distance Tool on the GeoBytes website for the distance information. While at GeoBytes, I stumbled on the fact that there is a Joseph, Utah. Now there's a town named after Joseph Smith!!
So, back to Joseph OR. As you may suspect by now, it was not named after Joseph Smith. In fact, it was named after a Chief of the Nez Perce Nation, Chief Joseph. I found Chief Joseph to be fascinating. I've done some editing, but the following is generally from Wiki:
Chief Joseph (1840 – 1904) was the chief of the Wal-lam-wat-kain (Wallowa) band of Nez Perce. For his principled resistance to the removal of his people to a reservation, he became renowned as a humanitarian and peacemaker.
Joseph the Younger succeeded his father as chief in 1871. Before his death, the latter counseled his son:
"My son, my body is returning to my mother earth, and my spirit is going very soon to see the Great Spirit Chief. When I am gone, think of your country. You are the chief of these people. They look to you to guide them. Always remember that your father never sold his country. You must stop your ears whenever you are asked to sign a treaty selling your home. A few years more and white men will be all around you. They have their eyes on this land. My son, never forget my dying words. This country holds your father's body. Never sell the bones of your father and your mother."
Chief Joseph commented "I clasped my father's hand and promised to do as he asked. A man who would not defend his father's grave is worse than a wild animal."
The Nez Perce suffered many injustices at the hands of settlers and prospectors, but out of fear of reprisal from the US military, Joseph never allowed any violence against them, instead making many concessions to them in hopes of securing peace.
Summarizing a lengthy Wiki passage: after much tactically maneuvering & negotiations, the U.S. Army demanded that the Nez Perce relocate to a reservation in Idaho. Joseph decided that peace was more important than his dying fathers' wishes, but other, younger Nez Perce chiefs wanted to fight. I'll pick up the story here, from Wiki:
With 2,000 U.S. soldiers in pursuit, Joseph and other Nez Perce chiefs led 800 Nez Perce towards freedom at the Canadian border. For over three months, the Nez Perce outmaneuvered and battled their pursuers traveling 1,600 miles (2,570 km) across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana.
General Howard, leading the opposing cavalry, was impressed with the skill with which the Nez Perce fought, using advance and rear guards, skirmish lines, and field fortifications. Finally, after a devastating five-day battle during freezing weather conditions with no food or blankets, Chief Joseph formally surrendered. Here are the words attributed to Chief Joseph at the formal surrender:
"Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Too-hul-hul-sote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
His speech brought attention – and therefore credit – his way. He earned the praise of General William Tecumseh Sherman and became known in the press as "The Red Napoleon".
Joseph's fame did him little good. By the time Joseph surrendered more than 200 of his followers had died. His plight, however, did not end. Although he had negotiated a safe return home for his people, four hundred of the Nez Perce were taken on unheated rail cars to Fort Leavenworth in eastern Kansas to held in a prisoner-of-war campsite for eight months. Toward the end of the following summer the surviving Nez Perce were taken by rail to a reservation in the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) for ten years. Many of them died of epidemic diseases while there. Finally they were returned to a reservation around Kooskia, Idaho.
In 1879 Chief Joseph went to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Rutherford B. Hayes and plead the case of his people. Finally, in 1885, Chief Joseph and his followers were allowed to return to the Pacific Northwest, although many, including Chief Joseph, were taken to the Colville Indian Reservation in NW Washington, far from both the rest of their people in Idaho and their homeland in the Wallowa Valley.
In his last years Joseph spoke eloquently against the injustice of United States policy toward his people and held out the hope that America's promise of freedom and equality might one day be fulfilled for Native Americans as well. An indomitable voice of conscience for the West, he died in 1904, still in exile from his homeland. According to his doctor, he died "of a broken heart."
Here's a shot of the Chief with his family. I don't blame them for not smiling.
Moving on to some lovely scenery. First, Wallowa Falls:
Here's a shot of Hell's Canyon, just south of my landing (in the "martian" landscape area):
Here's a magnificent shot of Lake Wallowa (by Jim Dockery, on Panaramio):
I'll close with this sunset over the Lake (taken from a similar vantage point as the above):
That'll do it. . .

- A fifth Conservative MP has joined the People's Vote campaign.
- Guto Bebb supports the idea of giving the British people a referendum on the final Brexit deal.
- The movement is growing in public and Parliament.
- He joins other Tory MPs Sarah Wollaston, Justine Greening, Anna Soubry, and Philip Lee.
LONDON — Guto Bebb has become the fifth Conservative MP to officially announce support for the People's Vote campaign.
Bebb, the Conservative MP for Aberconwy and former defence minister, joins Tory MPs Sarah Wollaston, Justine Greening, Anna Soubry, and Philip Lee, who back the idea of giving the British people a referendum on the final deal.
As a campaign, the movement is growing. Polls have shown an increase in support across the country, and in Parliament.
Bebb is expected to officially announce his support at 2 p.m. today at the People's Vote Wales rally at the Glee Club in Cardiff.
In a speech Bebb will say how he voted to remain and accepted the final result, but Brexit is not being delivered by the Prime Minister effectively.
"With the hardline Brexiters threatening to vote down any deal, and a deal is crucial for jobs and business, we now face gridlock in parliament, and the growing risk of a disastrous no deal Brexit," he is expected to say.
"I resigned from the Government because I could not, in good conscience, support amendments offered by the ERG group, which were not in the best interests of the people I was sent to Westminster to represent. They were, as the ERG acknowledge, a deliberate attempt to undermine the Prime Minister and our negotiations with the EU."
Like several other MPs, Bebb will announce that supporting the People's Vote campaign is a move to stop hard Brexit advocates to "holding the Government to ransom." They are also against the idea of a "no deal" scenario.
"We need a People's Vote on the terms of Brexit to ensure that a Brexit deal, if secured, represents the needs of people in Wales and the UK and not the narrow interests of a Westminster based group of ideological purists," Bebb will say.
"I will continue to support the PM whilst she strives to secure a deal but she needs the backstop of popular support - not the 40 votes of jobs-destroying no deal Brexit MPs. That's why I'll be campaigning for a final decision on the deal to be a decision made by the people not politicians."
Wollaston joined the campaign last month, despite originally supporting Vote Leave.
"Consequences must follow," she told the House of Commons. "We cannot have confidence that this referendum was secure and it should be rerun."
Dominic Grieve has also hinted at supporting another referendum.
The People's Vote movement already includes Labour's Chuka Umunna and Sir Vince Cable. Amber Rudd, Nicky Morgan, and Antoinette Sandbach are also rumoured to be considering joining.

Ski-helmet law for kids dies with veto
Children will not have to wear helmets when they hit the ski slopes in California after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a piece of legislation Friday.
The measure by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, would have imposed a $25 fine on parents of minors caught skiing or snowboarding without a helmet, though supporters acknowledged the rule would be unlikely to be enforced. The language of the measure mirrors bicycle helmet laws already in place.
Schwarzenegger actually signed that bill, but vetoed a companion bill that would have required ski resorts to develop and publish safety plans and submit reports to state safety officials. The veto of that measure, AB1652 by Assemblyman Dave Jones, D-Sacramento, means that Yee's bill will not go into effect.
"Many California ski resorts are located on U.S. Forest Service land, and are already required to compile and file safety and accident reports with USFS as well as maintain some of this information in the resort management office," Schwarzenegger wrote in his veto message. "Ski resorts in California also already mark their ski area boundaries and trails with appropriate information. This bill may place an unnecessary burden on resorts, without assurance of a significant reduction in ski and snowboard-related injuries and fatalities."
Yee's bill, SB880, was opposed by some Republicans who said it amounts to "nanny government" and infringes on parents' rights.
But Yee - a child psychologist - argued that ski resorts are one of the only places of recreation where safety standards are absent, and said that the measure would significantly reduce traumatic brain injuries and deaths.
"While Sen. Yee appreciates the governor's signature of SB880, he is disappointed that the governor did not also sign Assemblyman Jones' bill," said Yee's spokesman, Adam Keigwin. "California's kids will be at serious risk if they are not wearing a helmet while skiing or snowboarding."
Keigwin said the senator plans to reintroduce the ski helmet bill on its own.

Laurence just forwarded this text message he received from Jeff this afternoon.
"Arrived at Victoria at 2:30 pm. CH TV interview. Heading on to Orcas
Island with the remaining flood."
So it looks like they should be arriving back at Orcas Island early this evening. I would guess that they will come in at North Beach, which is where they launched. If anyone on Orcas reads this please let Toby Brown and Mike Dupas know so they can arrange the pick up. I have to rush off to teach right now so can't coordinate things until tonight (when it may be too late for a reception). Please take plenty of photos! Jeff Moag from Canoe & Kayak magazine needs some for an article he is doing on their trip. Thanks!

Got a phone message from Jeff at 6:50 pm. They were just heading out into Haro Strait. He said the currents weren't favorable and they didn't expect to get to Orcas until after midnight. They were planning to go to the Orcas ferry dock and unload gear but I left a message suggesting that might not work so well as I don't think the ferry dock is very kayak friendly. But I guess if they can paddle 700 nm they can handle that. I told them to call for help if needed (even at midnight). Mike DuPas

The Buffalo Bills have added another piece to the most diverse backfield in the league by signing former Alabama/Jag running back T.J. Yeldon to a two-year deal. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but Yeldon will add depth to a backfield that already includes incumbent starter LaShaun "Shady" McCoy and newly signed future Hall of Famer Frank Gore.
Yeldon was a second round pick of the Jags in 2015 and in four years in Jacksonville, ran for 1872 yards and six touchdowns. Yeldon is also a weapon out as a receiver out of the backfield with at least 30 grabs in each of the four seasons. His best season was his rookie year when he rushed for 740 yards despite missing four games with a bum ankle. His role has been diminished since the Jaguar's drafted Leonard Fournette.

The Landscapes for everyone initiative was launched on 19 January 2015 in Parliament. Some 27 organisational signatories called for the need to protect precious landscapes.
The coalition members listed below
Association of Garden Trusts; Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland; British Mountaineering Council; The Broads Society; Campaign for National Parks; Campaign to Protect Rural England; Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales; The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare; The Conservation Volunteers; Dartmoor Preservation Association; English Outdoor Council; Friends of the Earth; Friends of the Lake District; Friends of the Peak District; Groundwork UK; John Muir Trust; Landscape Institute; National Trust; Outdoor Industries Association; Open Spaces Society; Ramblers; Scottish Campaign for National Parks; Snowdonia Society; South Downs Society; Wilderness Foundation; The Wildland Research Institute; Yorkshire Dales Society.
Seek, amongst other things to
Strengthen planning protections for landscape – the planning system is one of the best tools we have to protect landscapes. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for England, Planning Policy Wales, Scottish Planning Policy and other planning guidanceshould be strengthened to protect our best and irreplaceable including their setting, from major and intrusive development;
Integrate the UK's commitment to The European Landscape Convention into Government policies, including the NPPF and equivalents in Scotland and Wales;
Endorse and promote the National Character Area profiles as a tool for local authorities and policy makers to take a holistic approach to planning and landscape management in each area.
Encourage the restoration of degraded or impoverished landscapes in and around our towns and cities as well as the wider countryside, for the benefit of people, nature and the economy
Ensure our National Parks, AONBs, NSAs, Historic Landscapes, historic public parks and green spaces have sufficient resources to guarantee their long term protection and enhancement.
These aspirations are excellent, but as with much of this kind of 'call to action' unless it has substance through legislation and compliance is monitored and enforced then we will continue to see the degradation of the quintessential English landscape as it becomes consigned to art galleries and the history books?
That is not to say that the 'Landscape coalition' is not right and it is to be congratulated on raising the issue but to our minds there are many missing signatories …. the RSPB and The Wildlife Trusts to name a couple of million voices who we would like to think care about the landscape? A glaring omission, to our minds is the mention of the publically owned National Nature Reserves managed on the publics behalf, in the main by Natural England. Why has the Minister for the Environment not included this portfolio of public land in the catalogue of places which are deemed to be of landscape importance?
Many readers will have stood on the viewing platform on Thorne Moors and appreciated the panorama, sadly if they have known the area over recent decades they will have noticed the ring of steel increasing as the landscape is becoming more industrialised?
The Lower Derwent Valley (LDV) and Saltfleetby Theddlethorpe too are other local gems, why are they not deemed to be important in landscape terms? One might wonder why Natural England are not keen to see public places protected? The public forests are still under threat and it was not so long since that the ConDem coalition with it's 'greenest ever' promise was seeking to divest the public portfolio of NNRs. How long before either of these issues are revisited?
Are the above images of wild open spaces, evocative landscapes not worthy of protection? Are they not worthy of inclusion in the recent initiative 'Landscapes for everyone'? Wake up Natural England before we lose 'moor' ….
See also National Character Area profiles: data for local decision making. The GOV.UK page informs the reader that Natural England is improving access to environmental evidence and information through NCA profiles. NCA Profile: 39 The Humberhead Levels (NE339) offers some 47 pages, much of which is narrative but supplemented with some interesting statistics (very few reference sources). That recording interest of Saltfleetby Theddlethorpe is NCA Profile: 42 Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes (NE521) and the LDV is NCA Profile: 28 Vale of York (NE367)

Hardware components
Software apps and online services
We're currently experimenting with existing software and hardware solutions in an effort to determine an ideal ecosystem. The basis of this standard is in bluetooth and Lora based devices. The goal is to create a standard by which gateways and sensor nodes can mesh together and communicate to a central cloud.
With the software platform we hope to encourage use of the platform regardless of the hardware. Its being built on an open API that has been battle tested.
We're also working with ASAN (Autonomous Space Agency Network) to create a temporary Lora network in the sky via near space balloons and then have them relay information to the cloud via cellular upon re-entry: https://github.com/asanspace
Once we launch the software platform our energy will be put towards building a community of users and contributors. We're more interested in building a community than we are a platform or product.Technologies being used:

WASHINGTON — John Doar, a top Justice Department civil rights lawyer in the 1960s who fought to protect voting rights in the South, has died at age 92.
His son, Burke Doar, says Doar died today in New York of heart failure.
Doar was a Justice Department civil rights lawyer from 1960 to 1967, serving for a period as division chief.
He escorted James Meredith onto the campus of the University of Mississippi and was lead prosecutor in the federal trial arising from the deaths of three civil rights workers in Mississippi.
He also served as special counsel as the House of Representatives investigated the Watergate scandal.
In 2012, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. President Barack Obama called him the "face of the Justice Department in the South."
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work.

Explosion in Austria on December 12 2017 11:32 AM (UTC).
Situation Update No. 1 on December 12 2017 02:33 PM (UTC)
A deadly explosion and fire that ripped through Austria's main gas pipeline hub has caused Italy to declare a state of emergency due to a lack of supplies. One person was killed and 18 injured in the blast on Tuesday in Baumgarten, eastern Austria. A police spokesman said: "There was an explosion around 8:45am (0745 GMT) and a fire. A wide area has been sealed off and there are expected to be several injured." In Britain, Europe's biggest gas market, gas for immediate delivery rose 35% to 92p per therm, its highest level for four years. Gas Connect Austria, which operates the Baumgarten site, said the blaze had been brought under control. Police said the cause was technical in origin. Footage on social and other media showed a column of flames rising from the site. The hub is important for European gas transit, with natural gas transported to Baumgarten through Slovakia and Germany along several pipelines. Gas flows are then delivered throughout Europe via Austria's transmission network. Gas Connect Austria said deliveries to Austria's southern and south-eastern borders would be affected until further notice. Italy's industry minister said the country must grapple with a "serious" energy supply problem. Slovakia's main gas transit route to Austria was suspended after the fire, said the Slovak pipeline operator, Eustream. Russia's Gazprom Export said it was trying to redirect gas flows and secure uninterrupted supplies. Gas prices elsewhere in Europe soared on concerns about supply. The Italian wholesale day-ahead price surged 97% to a record high of €47 per megawatt-hour.
