Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #28
This is a small part of the Myer City store Christmas window, which is a popular Brisbane festive tradition now in its 53rd year. This year's Myer window display is based on the book How Santa Really Works by UK author and illustrator Alan Snow. It is one of the best displays I've seen in years. I think my squeals of delight may have frightened the poor kiddies that happened to be there while I was merrily snapping away. I took so many photos but this was the only one that featured a prominent shadow. A bunch of the shots will be made into Christmas postcard sets for my little nieces. I did that last year with photos I took of the display and they seemed to like them. It will now be our new tradition. Our tradition may not however last 53 years. I am thinking my nieces will probably be well and truly over it long before then.
News Flash! Elizabeth (About New York and The House In Marrakesh blogs), a regular shadow shooter (and the inspiration behind me starting this Shadow Shot Sunday meme in the first place!) has just had published a most charming looking children's book titled Jane in Winter and it is now available for purchase right here. Just in time for Christmas! Woohoo! Besides writing the book, the multi-talented Elizabeth was also responsible for creating the adorable cover art for it! Congratulations Elizabeth!

About Curry Mantra 1
You might momentarily forget your hunger when you step into Curry Mantra's striking, newly expanded dining room, where vivid Indian artwork speckles the warm orange and yellow walls. Your appetite is reawakened, however, when you peer into the large kitchen window and catch sight of juicy morsels of lamb, salmon, and chicken waiting to be cooked in tandoori ovens. When discussing his decision to install a kitchen window with a food critic Tom Sietsema from the Washington Post, owner Asad Sheikh explained, "I want my customers to see what's going on in the tandoor." He's proud of the work that goes on in his kitchen, which earned Curry Mantra a spot on Northern Virginia magazine's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, its Best of NoVa list in 2015, and Washingtonian Magazine's Best of Fairfax 2013. His chefs pull culinary inspiration from all four corners of India, folding lamb, chicken, and seafood into a wide variety of flavorful curries and fiery vindaloos. To craft their goat biryani rice dish, the chefs use a generations-old recipe passed down to Sheikh from his grandmother, peppering aromatic basmati rice and tender goat meat with saffron and nuts.
Silverware clinks against glass tabletops in the dining room, where diners sip on glasses of wine and creamy mango lassi. Come lunchtime, a buffet table will stretch across the room, lined with silver trays of freshly made dishes. On the weekends, the eatery hosts live music, as traditional flutists and drummers play classical Indian music and the theme from Three's Company upon request.

You know that feeling when you're out at a restaurant, having a great time, maybe you order a little too much ... and then the bill comes. You think to yourself, Ugh ... do I really owe THAT much? But you shake it off, pay the bill, and go on your merry way.
Well, that's not exactly how things went for Andrew Palmer, a 46-year-old serial "Dine and Dasher" who did the unthinkable to get out of paying a $50 bill at an Italian restaurant. Personally, I am shocked and disgusted that someone would stoop to such a low level just to save a few bucks. It's sad, really.
Head over to Huffington Post to see the horrific antics he pulled, which landed him in jail. And trust me, whatever you're thinking it could be ... it's so much worse.

And I had fun with them. Don't I always? Baking is fun.
Anyway, I made 2 squares of pizza dough for a dear sister in Christ, Juliana, a batch of Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Muffins for my neighbours, at my mom's request (but with pleasure) and Bocconotti Dolci for homegroup.
I'm too tired to post the recipes, so I'll just leave you with pictures. First.
I had some extra pizza dough, and I was getting hungry. So hey, why not?
I popped open a can of tuna, put them in a bowl, added some black pepper, basil and oregano. I folded the dough over a teaspoon of tuna and when I removed them from the oven, I had no idea what they were. They kinda popped open when they were baking, so I thought it appropriate to call them Tuna Pops. Yea I know, it's cheesy, but they were filling dough. (Geddit geddit? Filling... Dough... Oh nevermind.)
My mom wanted pizza with the works, but there weren't any mozzarella cheese and I didn't want to make some sauce for a 4 inch pizza.
It's amazing what you can find at the far corners of a fridge.
There was a tiny block of cheddar and Spaghetti Sauce in a Can.(Gasp! Sauce in a Can! Are you serious?!)
Aw heck, it's for a 4 inch pizza, I can live with using Spaghetti Sauce in a Can. (You hypocrite, you!)
Here's my niece, Cheyenne, hamming it up for the camera.
The Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Muffins for my neighbours.
I was still in a gift giving mood, so I had them all wrapped up to be taken to home group.

Beer & Bacon Tour of Chicago
River North | Website
This event occurred in the past.
Map | Find Parking
Bacon and beer are a natural match. You've probably been pairing the two together for years without thinking about it – late night munchies, anyone? What bacon recipe pairs best with a stout? How about an IPA? We pair five cuts of bacon with five beers to give you the ultimate beer and bacon experience. The beers change seasonally, so even if you've already enjoyed a beer and bacon tasting, check back again for all new pairings. Must be 21+ to participate. Beer and bacon included.

Coun Val Rodgers in her letter to the Harrogate Advertiser of January 28 says it is such good news that the "We are watching you" campaign has proved so successful.
It is however all very well for dog owners to be seen to clean up after their animals, but the problem then is what they do with the bags?
You only have to take a walk along the many beautiful wooded footpaths in Harrogate and Knaresborough to see quantities of knotted bags hanging in the bushes or simply thrown on the ground.
Perhaps there are not enough dedicated bins for the disposal of the bags or is it a "can't be bothered" attitude by some dog owners?

Olympic dip for Scots house sales
Scottish surveyors have reported a drop in the number of house sales in August, according to new figures.
The survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) also found that prices fell last month.
Although those questioned expected sales to pick up over the next few months, they expect prices to fall even further.
RICS however said that homes were still selling where there was a realistic asking price.
Sarah Speirs, director of RICS Scotland, said: "Reasonable pricing and location have played a large part in successful sales."
'Saturated coverage'
The Olympics and the bad weather appear to have affected sales.
Craig Henderson, of Graham & Sibbald in Glasgow, said: "It has been a fairly quiet summer, almost certainly caused by buyers deciding to holiday in the sun rather than buying houses due to the depressing weather.
"In addition the saturated coverage of the Olympics has had buyers stay at home resulting in a delay in buyers emerging from the summer slumbers."
Chris Highton, of Allied Surveyors in Selkirk, said the autumn rush had not appeared yet.
He added: "Perhaps it's too early to say, but things certainly appear subdued. The government's attempt to inject low cost money directly into the economy doesn't appear to have had any effect so far."
On the long-term outlook, Malcolm Taylor, of Bell Ingram in Forfar, said it was "not good" due to "falling prices and lack of client optimism".

Wine Lists to Love
While there are plenty of wine lists that I find deeply flawed, there are also many that I truly love, including some cited in my column this week. Here are three—in no particular order—that have made me very happy lately. They're interesting--quirky, even--easy to navigate and, most importantly, fairly priced.
Bar Henry
New York
The list at this semi-underground wine bar/bistro in the West Village is arranged geographically, and it's full of terrific finds (especially from the Loire) at some very friendly prices. Wine director John Slover is an alum of Cru, whose fabulous and fabulously-priced wine list is well-known. But at Bar Henry he strikes a more familiar tone. The wine list opens on this casual note: "We're fond of wine here."
San Francisco
The food and the wine compete for center stage at this ever-busy Marina District restaurant. In addition to gutsy southern Italian fare (and some great pizza) there is a super selection of southern Italian wines, from regions like Apulia and Campania, Sicily and Sardinia, that are clearly a great passion of wine director and owner Shelly Lindgren.
The Bristol
The wine list is clever and cleverly chosen at the Bristol. The menu is Mediterranean-ish, featuring lots of local Chicagoland purveyors, and every wine is accompanied by a pithy descriptor. Take, for example, the 2007 Knoll Smaragd Loibenberg Gruner Veltliner from the Wachau region of Austria. It's "orange oil, lemon zest, toasted nuts and white pepper." And that's a pretty good descriptor of how the wine actually tastes. For those who prefer beer to wine, there are plenty of good choices as well.
Readers: Please comment and tell me the restaurant wine lists you like best, and why.

On 20th January is a UK vote on moving clocks forward one hour
There is a compaign in the UK to change the UK clocks one hour forward. This will have an important effect on reducing CO2 emissions. A link is here for more information. Every country should consider adjusting the clocks to minimise emissions, it's cheap and effective.

Drawing In Closer
Lately, there are days in which I find myself at a total loss for words. I just don't know what to say about the colossal mess that has befallen our country. I've been called "whiny", "snowflake", "libtard", "blind", "stupid", "socialist", and my personal favorite from last week, "crybaby c*nt".
On the flip side, I have not found myself at a loss for emotions. There's been the rage when I see blatant racism and bigotry embraced by not only Trump supporters, but even the so-called-president himself.There's the helplessness when I see innocent people victimized. There's the exhaustion when example after example of narcissism, willful disregard for the laws of this country, and even treason are presented and those who could stop it turn a blind eye. There's the heartache knowing that even if we can recover from this, the road ahead for the younger generation is going to be perilous for those who fight for civil rights. The progress we had made is systematically being unraveled. And yes, there's also those welcome respites of hilarity when people manage to bring humor to dire circumstances. Alec Baldwin, Melissa McCarthy, and Katie McKinnon are brilliant, and we will rely heavily on them for that relief.
Depression and spiritual exhaustion levels are rising quickly. I can feel it within myself, and I can see it in others. For me, I have my own methods of bringing my soul back into balance. But when I try to balance myself within my world, it can be more difficult.
So I've decided to focus a little more on the immediate vicinity for a time, just until I regain my own strength, my own force of will to keep fighting. Because make no mistake — we will never stop fighting. #wewillrise But we also need to take a cue from the animal world now and again. When a flock of birds is traveling in that iconic V formation, they will switch places when the lead bird gets tired. They cycle through to give everyone a chance to shine and everyone a chance to rest. This way their pace is steady, and no one burns out.
I've made more of an effort to be understanding. I've done small, but nice things for people unexpectedly. I've helped people through my art when I have the opportunity to do so. I've focused on some self-care methods that work for me. I'm taking a desperately needed break this weekend to see a new city, spend time with the Musician and the Photographer, two of the people I love most in this world.
And perhaps most importantly, I've sought out like minded people with which to fly in formation. To them, I offer my profound gratitude for letting me fall back a little and my promise that I'll be ready to take over so someone else can rest soon.

Deputy Chases Down Razor Scooter Burglar, Says Sheriff's Office
Press release provided by the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office:
On 07-18-2015, at about 2:20 A.M., the Sheriff's Office received multiple calls from citizens residing on Samoa Ct. in Samoa, Ca. They reported that a male subject wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, had been caught trying to break into residences in the area. The subject had since jumped a fence and was thought to still be in the area. Deputies responded to investigate.
When Deputies arrived they began searching the area, and one of the Deputies located a subject matching the description. The subject was riding away from an address on North Bayview Ave., on a Razor Scooter. When the Deputy attempted to contact the subject, he fled on the scooter. The Deputy pursued the subject on foot. The subject dropped the scooter and began running from the Deputy. The Deputy was able to apprehend the subject a short distance away.
The subject was identified as Derek Johnson, 20, of Fortuna, Ca. Deputies were able to confirm Derek was the same person who was seen trying to break into residences in the area. They were also able to confirm the Razor scooter Derek had was stolen from a residence on North Bayview Ave. Deputies learned Derek had multiple current probation records, including a Formal Felony Probation for burglary, as well as a Summary Probation for theft.
Derek was booked into the Humboldt County Jail for possession of stolen property, resisting or delaying an officer, and violating the terms of his probation.
Anyone with information for the Sheriff's Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriff's Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff's Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

Karen Banks, coordinator of the European Internet Rights Initiative and the Women's Networking Support Program of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC-WNSP), spoke on Internet rights and global trends in security after the September 11th attack on the United States. Dr. Emmanuel Lallana of the e-ASEAN Task Force talked about the ASEAN priorities with respect to the Internet and new information and communication technologies (ICTs).

Gunbower Island camping area (bush camping)
Only a few of the many bush-camping sites on Gunbower Island have any facilities – one to note is the toilet with disabled access near Twin Bridges. Canoeing and swimming in the (often cold) water of the Murray River are the preferred activities here. A walking track circumnavigates the island; allow about 7 hrs for the round trip. Note: dogs are allowed into some parts of Gunbower and not others - call ahead to check. Also, formal campsites will be established in the park over the next couple of years.
Who to contact: Parks Victoria 13 1963
This campsite is located in Gunbower National Park
Measuring 50 km in length, Gunbower National Park is on Gunbower Island, framed by the Murray River to the east and Gunbower Creek to the west. Most of the island is covered in river red gum and black box forest, within which over 100 peaceful bush-camping sites are secreted. The island extends between Torrumbarry and Koondrook, and tracks lead to it from various points along the Murray Valley Hwy; most visitors take Cohuna Island Rd from Cohuna.

text: The decision is made in the context of more than 1,200 people on death row set to win a reprieve following a groundswell of opposition to capital punishment. Capital punishment is currently mandatory for murder, kidnapping, possession of firearms and drug trafficking, among other crimes, and is carried out by hanging -- a legacy of British colonial rule. Communications and multimedia minister Gobind Singh Deo confirmed the cabinet had resolved to end the death penalty. "I hope the law will be amended soon," he told AFP. The government decided to scrap capital punishment because the Malaysian public had shown they were against the death penalty, Gobind said. Government minister Liew Vui Keong said earlier Thursday there would be a moratorium on executions for inmates currently on death row, according to local media. "Since we are abolishing the sentence, all executions should not be carried out," the Star newspaper quoted him as saying. Liew said the amended law would be put before … [Read more...] about Malaysia to abolish death penalty

The Motley Fool and Kiplinger offer detailed lists of no-load index funds. The data includes year-to-date returns, index fund names, current assets and expense ratios. The lists allow users to see how well the funds performed in previous years, according to each company's website.
No-load index funds are mutual funds that do not charge commissions when investors buy shares directly from the investment companies. Load funds charge commissions when investors buy mutual funds, and the transactions occur through intermediaries such as securities brokers or banks. However, there is no real evidence to suggest that no-load funds continuously outperform load funds because investors pay commissions, explains Investopedia.

The market of shoes has something for everyone. One of the many types of shoes it provides is an incredible and extensive selection of the best running shoes for flat feet. For the people with these types of feet, there should be thorough knowledge about how to select the best running shoes for flat feet. A wrong selection will not just waste your money but it won't be of any use to you either.
What are these shoes like?
Most shoes for people with flat feet are athletic type of shoes offering enough comfort for those who wear it. They are designed for a specific purpose and that's how they work towards it. Running is one of the options for many people with flat feet and now they have even more choices to choose from. There are a lot more shops out there selling shoes for flat feet. It is actually very easy to find the best running shoes for flat feet. This wasn't the case even 10 years back.
What is a flat foot?
Now let us come to what a flat foot is. A flat foot is something which doesn't have arch support like those in other feet. The arch found in a foot is actually designed for providing shock absorption capabilities to an individual. This ability of absorbing shock is actually required for keeping the weight placed on the feet as much distributed as possible. This would be very difficult to achieve without the proper shoes. That is why it is important to invest in one of the best running shoes for flat feet.
What do these shoes offer?
The shoes meant for low arches or flat feet come with enhanced stability controls. This enables the body weight to be evenly distributed throughout the shoes and the foot while running. The shoes act like an arch support in the absence of it. The best running shoes for flat feet have another feature called motion control. This is a feature incorporated in their design and can be easily detected by the naked eye. Anybody can tell if the shoe offers this feature by looking at the middle of the out sole. It should be supported with padding or thick foam for maximum absorption of shock. This is aimed towards keeping the middle of the foot at its place while an individual is running.
The best options
The running shoes that are not curved in their middle are the best running shoes for flat feet. They provide extra absorption for the arch which is found in most feet. They also come with thick padding for extra support. The shoes with a firm midsole are also best suited for flat feet. They provide the necessary amount of comfort by the way of thick padding and also offer the rigidity required for keeping the foot at its place. Look out for the mid soles of these shoes and check if they are firm enough before buying them.

It's been a rough week for Instagram. First, on Monday, the company updated its terms of service and almost immediately faced an angry backlash from users. Language that seemed to indicate plans to sell our photos and use them in ads didn't sit well.
Then on Tuesday, co-founder Kevin Systrom wrote a blog post thanking everyone for the valuable feedback and promised to make the language in the new terms much clearer. He acknowledged that Instagram could have been and should have been clearer in its explanation.
Systrom wrote that Instagram doesn't plan to sell user photos. And even though he didn't say your photos will never be sold, he said his company is working on updated language. He also explained that language indicating your photos could be used in advertisements will be removed from the terms entirely.
Reaction to the blog post on social media was mixed. While some were happy to see some sort of response, others were looking for something more concrete. Instagram did make it clear that logging into its service makes you bound by the terms and the only way to opt out is to delete your account entirely.
And that led to lots of talk of Instagram alternatives. Some sites can only offer a similar experience, but you do have choices. Here are just a few.
Flickr: Everyone knows Flickr by Yahoo. It's still popular, and Flickr's newly overhauled and beautiful mobile app is worth a look. Instagram drama aside, I recommend having a presence on Flickr. Bonus: If you name your photos something useful — not 0001.jpg — the SEO benefits are amazing.
Snapseed: Recently purchased by Google, Snapseed is my iPhone app of choice to crop and add effects — not the same as filters — to photos. It's easy to use, fast and reliable. And don't worry Android users, there's a version for you too.
Twitter: Yes, Twitter. The recent update adding photo filters makes it a viable alternative to Instagram.
500px: This beautiful photo-sharing site is a favorite, and while it's mobile-friendly, you can't upload photos from the mobile app. 500px is for your best work, and chances are that's not on your phone. But once you upload from your desktop or laptop, the browsing experience on a mobile device is top notch.
That's just a taste. There are many others, including Camera+ and Hipstamatic. Oh, and Camera Awesome is pretty awesome. If you are firm on leaving Instagram, I suggest you try these and search on your own. For better or worse, there's no shortage of photography apps. It's just a matter of what works best for you and your workflow.
As for me, I won't be leaving Instagram. While certain parts of the new terms concern me greatly, I have come to accept that social media is all about sharing. But that said, let me know if you find an alternative that wows you. I'm always looking to try new things.
What questions do you have about social media? Tweet them to @scottkleinberg or @amyguth. We might select yours for use in a future column.ss

How can i search a product using name or barcode from search bar of product?
From the search bar of product now we can search using name of product, but my need is have to search with name or barcode. we can use advanced search barcode, to search a product using barcode. But i want to use only serch bar not advanced search. As per my knowledge i have to change "name_search" in produc.product. Please provide me that function code. correct me if i am wrong.
Hi Samba, If you want practical ex. then I can give you or give me your code I will correct it.
Ex given by Shashank is the first way as I have explain.
from openerp.osv import fields, osv import os.path import fnmatch from tools.translate import _ class product_extension(osv.osv): _inherit = "product.product" _columns = { 'ean13': fields.char('Barcode', size=256, help="International Article Number used for product identification."), } def _check_ean_key(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None): return True _constraints = [(_check_ean_key, 'You provided an invalid "EAN13 Barcode" reference. You may use the "Internal Reference" field instead.', ['ean13'])] def name_search(self, cr, uid, name='', args=None, operator='ilike', context=None): if not args: args = [] if name: args += ['|',('name',operator,name),('ean13',operator,name)] dept_ids = self.search(cr, uid, args, context=context) else: dept_ids = self.search(cr, uid, args, context=context) return self.name_get(cr, uid, dept_ids, context=context)
Hi Samba,
There is two way to achive your objective.
1) Keep product name and add barcode into search bar.
For this you have to just add "ean13" field into search view by inheriting product search view.
2) Replace product name with Barcode into search bar.
For this you have to just replace "name" field with "ean13" field into search view by inheriting product search view.
Hello Samba,
U need to add your field name inside search view in .xml file.Lets consider an example:
<record id="view_my_product_filter" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="name">my.object.search</field>
<field name="model">my.object</field>
<field name="arch" type="xml">
<search string="Search Me">
<field name="name" string="Product Name" />
<field name="my_barcode" string="Barcode"/>
So when you type smething on search bar ,a drop down list will appear. Select from the drop down list(product name,barcode) and hit enter.

text: I have been using the Droid Pro for several days and have experienced may issues. 1.) The battery needs to be charged several times a day 2.) I have lost the phone on several occasions and need to hard reset the phone to restore the phone service. This results in the loss of all of the settings and the phone needs to be completly reconfigured. 3.) There is no enterprise application for the device (i.e. blackberry server) 4.) Most alarming, the Verizon technical personnel have not been trained on the device. I took my phone to the Verizon store and was informed by the staff that they could not work on my device as no one at the loaction had received any training on the device. Very troubling!!!!

Drive against Violence: Girard, Lacan, Misogyny
Eva Sørhaug's 90 Minutes (2012) has as its motive three murders or attempts at murders of women by their male partner. A young man lives in a largely unfurnished flat with his young wife and newborn son. He ties her to the bed and abuses her sexually partly because of what he perceives as her ineptitude as mother -- the infant child bother the cocaine abusing father with incessant screaming.
A second story has a divorced man visiting his ex wife and their daughter. They end up fighting, and she asks him -- in front of his neighbour friend -- to leave. The loss of face spurs him into action. The humiliated ex collects a handgun in his car, and returns to shoot and kill his former wife and their common child.
Finally, a third narrative thread depicts an older man in a financial crisis who tries to give away his caged bird to a girl in his tenement building. She accepts the gift. The older man then prepares dinner for his high flying professional partner. He is planning to poison her. While thoroughly enjoying the gourmet meal, her second serving of gravy turns out lethal. She dies with her face down in the steak. The mother of the girl in the flat below rings the doorbell. Her daughter is unable to look after the animal. He accepts grudgingly, and then resumes to clean up his now deceased partner, put her to bed, and lie down next to her to rest.
The movie ends by returning to the opening story. The young mother manages to get away from her abusive husband, stabs him with a knife, and runs off with their infant child. As a story of misogyny and male violence it ends with the possibility that justice will prevail for those who are exposed to the murderous outlets of these crises stricken men. How does these protagonists of violence come to blame their female partners for the pain and anguish they experience? We are reminded of René Girard's words in Violence and the Sacred: When crises in human experience and community reaches its apex, violence itself becomes the object of desire. "In the midst of the sacrificial crisis there is no point in attaching desire to anyone object … for desire is wholly directed toward violence itself" (New York: Continuum, 2009, 154).
Or, to go even further towards Girard's source, Jacques Lacan wrote about "The Mirror Stage," the formative period of human development, that upon becoming social beings, the experience of a social I "decisively tips the whole of human knowledge into mediatisation through the desire of the other, constitutes its objects in an abstract equivalence by the co-operation of others, and turns the I into that apparatus for which every instinctual thrust constitutes a danger, even though it should correspond to a natural maturation" (Écrits: a Selection, London: Tavistock, 1977, 5).
For: has not every movement of the instinct, every articulation of the drive, in this case, become a danger to the unhindered continuation of abusive, misogynist relations? And is not, then, the abnegation of this logic precisely a complement to Lacan's ethic of psychoanalysis and of our duty to follow our desire?

It's in case I want to stay and watch the sunset over the water. In late afternoon when cool breezes begins to blow off of the water a shawl comes in mighty handy.
This wind, officially known as "sea breeze," occurs in response to differences in temperature between a body of water and neighboring land. While any old sweatshirt would do, one of my hand-knit shawls feel more romantic for sunset viewing.
Today, I came across a shawl pin for beach-loving knitters (or shawl wearers).
It's from Knit Picks and I couldn't wait to share my find... after I ordered one for myself, of course! It also comes in a Cat Lovers version or with knitting or nature charms.

Can I say that it is charming without eliciting groans? It really is sweet! Beautiful photos too. For me, I tote a book, some magazines, water, my ipod, sunglasses, sunscreen, baby powder, hair clips and a top in case it gets windy or I get too much sun. Phew! It sounds like a lot, but it works for me.

text: Alfred enlisted into the 1st Home Counties Field Ambulance, R.A.M.C., T.F. on 22nd June 1912. He was 19 years and 7 months old; was a Labourer by trade; and was living at 41 Shakespeare Road, Gillingham, Kent at the time. He became one of a quota of N.C.O.s and men, known as 'Special Reserve', who previously agreed to serve overseas in the event of a war. On 6th August 1914, he transferred from the 1st Home Counties Field Ambulance to serve with the Expeditionary Force, and marched alongside Captain Greene, and the detachment, to a field adjoining Monocktons Mill, Sandling Road, Maidstone, which had become the mobilization headquarters of No 10 Field Ambulance. He entered the war with the 10th Field Ambulance on 23rd August 1914. He was due to be discharge from the British Expeditionary Force on 24th September 1915. On 15th September he was sent to Base Details at Rouen, who transferred him to England with instructions to report to the Officer Commanding Depot at Aldershot. He then returned to the 1st Home Counties Divisional Field Ambulance and was posted to serve with the 3/1st Home Counties Field Ambulance until the 23rd December 1915, when he was released for munition work. His period of service expired on 22nd June 1917, and he was disembodied from service on 26th June 1917. He was by this time living at 187 Canterbury Street, Gillingham, Kent.

Mt. Adams
Due to where I work, the easiest and most efficient way for me to stage a hike out of Upper Works is to drive to the trail head Friday night and camp for a Saturday hike. WalksWithBlackFlies decided to meet me at about 6:00 p.m. Friday evening for a quick hike of Mt. Adams. We set out and rock hopped across the Hudson River just downstream of the derelict steel bridge en route. Lake Jimmy appeared to have a new deck put on the walkway. I rarely see pitcher plants in their natural setting. I've never noticed them at the lake until I looked down from the boardwalk on the adjacent logs and saw one growing out of a crack. Its beautiful red pitchers surrounded a still viable flower. It seemed late in the season for the flower to be so perfect.
I knew Mt. Adams was a bit less than five miles round trip and climbed it with the dual purpose of photographing Twin Slide from afar and as a warm-up hike for the next day. Besides, I'd never been up the fire tower. WWBF commented that the trail just kept going up and up…more than he (or I) expected. Neither of us had checked the elevation gain and didn't expect to climb 1,800' in an hour's time. On the tower, I realized that I trusted God's slide creations more than man's metallic creations. Once at the top, we pulled out some food and the cameras as the sun slowly fell toward the distance mountains. Twin Slide, Emmons' Slide, Scooter Slide, Colden's western slides, Calamity Mountain and a thousand other points of interest captured my attention…so many destinations, so little time.
We made it back to our cars and the awaiting humidity by dusk without need of headlamps for a total time of about 2:45 including 45 minutes spent relaxing in the cool breezes above the treetops.
To the Slides
Mid way up Ermine Brook Slide...a taste of what was to come.
…and so this trip began with NoTrace inviting me on a simple slide hike up Ermine Brook. It's a trip I've been considering for a few years and I'd never hiked with him, so we solidified the plans in early July…with a few small modifications. Specifically, I talked him into following the ridge over to Twin Slide to make it a traverse from Newcomb to Upper Works. Once on Twin Slide I routed us down the south tributary to the choke point, across the middle and to the headwall of the far northeast leg just to keep it unique. With the perfect combination of a difficult route and three wise-guy hiking partners, it was destined to be a great day.
We met at the Santanoni Preserve trailhead, just past the majestic gatehouse of the old Great Camp. The sun was bright at 6:50 a.m. when we began on the old roads. NT explained the various buildings of the area to us as we passed by. I later learned that my father had hunted the area decades ago when a special permit was issued to thin the deer.
The indigenous predators quickly went into attack mode. Squadrons of deerflies buzzed about. NT took the bare-armed approach to the situation with his tank top. WWBF defied them in shorts and short sleeves. Neither wore a hat. They spat in the eye of sanity and, with exposed skin, mocked the vicious creatures...and paid the price throughout the day. I, on the other hand wore long sleeves, pants, a hat and pulled my long hair over my ears in a death netting that immobilized their wings on the odd occasion. The heat be darned (it was in the 80's). They annoyed me but rarely got past the armour. WWBF and NT left a trail of deerfly carcasses from the gate and over the subsequent miles of the hike. Many of the bodies were dismembered to WWBF's refined "smack and slide" hand technique. NoTrace indeed left quite the trace as well. In an emergency, we could probably follow them back to the gate like motionless winged breadcrumbs.
Deerfly (and the occasional mosquito) extermination practice and good conversation entertained us from 6:50 a.m. until we reached Ermine Brook at 10:00 a.m. By that time, I knew our personalities meshed well and the day would only increase in humour as the slide and finally the cripplebrush came into play. It was an easy trek over gently rolling terrain. Newcomb Lake sat unseen to our east and glimpses of Moose Pond peeked through the trees once we broke from the main trail to the east on the final fork before the pond. There were several subsequent roads each leading to either the Great Camp Santanoni or Newcomb Lake. Moose tracks appeared midway during the trek as well. We were near Moose Pond…go figure. Over the course of the 9.5 miles to Ermine Brook, we gained well over 1,000 vertical feet.
Trekking up Ermine Brook was perhaps one of the nicest brook climbs I've done. The easy grade, gentle flow and diverse geology of the area kept me enthralled. It was a place of great beauty and tranquility with virtually no blowdown in the stream itself. In fact, it would have been a worthy trip for just the walk in the woods without the slide. We passed over the first tributary, (about 6 feet wide) on the left which led to Little Santanoni and followed through the woods until the bank became steeper. It then seemed prudent to walk in the stream.
We rock hopped for a while as the heat began to build. I soon jumping into the stream and walked up the flow to ease the hopping and cool down. The temperate water did the trick. After about an hour and forty five minutes, our water supply began to dwindle. I'd consumed about 2 litres over the ten or so miles we'd hiked. WWBF whipped out his miniature light sabre and proceeded to battle the unseen storm stroopers inside a Nalgene bottle. Translation: He used a Steripen, which glows vividly, to treat the water in the bottle.
Almost two hours after leaving the trail/stream junction, we arrived at the small junction that signaled the slide's entrance from the right-hand side. NT remembered turning a final corner and being immediately greeted by the footwall. We followed the stream a little farther and like a gem in the woods, the slide began with a prominent stepped wall and stream fed pool of water.
It was the perfect time and area for lunch. The bugs weren't bad and the food tasted good as my blood sugar rose. NT made an off-hand remark about how inviting the water looked. It took me less than a minute to prove that he was right. I floated for a few minutes as the cascade babbled next to my ear. NT interviewed me with his camera on the "movie" setting, though I can't quite remember what I said. I just remember the peaceful moment at the crux of our first major success and base of the first major goal. We'd walked over half the mileage of the day by this point. All that remained were the challenging portions…beginning with the headwall of the slide, still almost a mile from where we rested.
On the down-side of things, my GPS, which I turned on to check the long./lat., didn't acquire a single satellite. In an instance of perfect timing, however, the sky began to slowly cloud over as a slight breeze developed. I reflected back on an early comment that I hoped that our time on the slide would be under a slightly overcast sky to dull the heat. I even hoped for a bit of a breeze. My hopes materialized before my eyes.
Ermine Brook Slide - Twin Slide
Ermine Brook Slide
The footwall was a pleasant little climb, though what followed was a little disappointing for a brief period. The narrow slide was about 20-50 feet wide for the most part. Rubble mixed with some open slab made up the first part of the trek to about the midway point. Interesting features were abundant, even though some vegetation dotted portions. It was a pleasant relief from being in the woods for so long even if the stream and roads were open compared to many paths. Pools of water became less and less as we gained in elevation. WWBF trudged ahead as I shot pics and gabbed with NT.
Headwall of Ermine Brook Slide.
The slide opened substantially above 3,100 feet in elevation where it took a quick jog on a more northern track before resuming its serpentine track to the east-northeast. A cleft and various features of interest divided my attention at this point. As the slide rounded the first bend it became straight for a few hundred vertical feet, following a cleft in the mountain. The water obviously followed the dominant crack where the most detailed features were exposed from weathering. The right-hand side harbored the steepest ledges, though they weren't tall while the left was home to a more rolling slab sets.
At around 3,500' where the slide makes a slight turn back toward the east, we reached the widest portion at over 120 feet. It was clean rolling slab. Cracks and small ledges divided the weather stained anorthosite on occasion. The dominant beckoned from the distance, a distance that was now much closer. It promised to be the most challenging feature of the slide since the rest was of minimal grade. Beautiful views of Long Lake glistened in the distant haze as we walked ever higher.
The remaining portions of the slab was ever so slightly more inclined and a bit different in character. The mighty swaths of open rolling slab, yielded to darkly stained sets of small sharp ledges. Scuff marks indicated some recent activity on the slide as we approached the steep wall. I had "summit fever" if you can call it that since we were far from the summit. My stomach called for food with ever increasing urgency as we took a break near the base of the wall and looked at its beautiful features. I ignored the herd path that trekked around the wall to the north an into the thick spruce. I was plotting a route upward.
This was one of my favorite parts of the day. Vertical rounded cracks lined the wall from side to side. Small potholes offered places for hands and feet. Rounded sets of ledges in the rough stone promised respite on regular intervals…not that this was any taller than about 50 or 60 feet. It was nearly vertical in places, however. Each of us chose a different ascent. I opted to use the initial vertical cracks to climb the first small pitch and then, once on a comfortable ledge, pulled out the camera to shoot WWBF and NT (with the camera, a gun was too heavy to take along!). The track of the slide wound gracefully down the mountain toward the horizon as a backdrop…perfect.
Top of the southwestern tributary of Twin Slide.
NT climbed to the top while WWBF looked for a harder route at the bottom just to be ornery. A small rotten tree trunk suddenly passed by my shoulder as I yelled for WWBF to watch out for the debris. NT was, unbeknownst to me, have a crisis on the crux and was unable to find a way into the woods. This put him in a precarious position necessitating a blind descent. He then crossed over to the southern side where access into the woods seemed easier. He found his own personal hell in cripplebrush so thick that it nearly immobilized him. This kept him busy like a kid in a sandbox while we enjoyed the view.
The time was now about 1:50 p.m. While he was lollygagging about in the woods, WWBF and I set to the task of relaxing with some food. I'd donned my rock shoes at the bottom of the slide to take the thought out of the climb and needed to get back into my trail runners for the next portion...the bushwhack up the ridge. We heard NT yell every now and again. He didn't appear to be moving about much.
WWBF and I exited on the north side on a small herd path and climbed up a ledge into the thick growth. It was not impenetrable, but demanded respect. The top of the knoll (there was a drainage on either side) was comfortably loose at the top where we regrouped and began to follow the ridge at 2:00 p.m. A faint herd-path guided the way at many points. We needed to travel up about 300 vertical feet while traveling a distance of a bit over ½ mile (roughly 3,500'). The first portion of the trek led due north and at the summit of a small wooded prominence then led northeast toward the summit and, more importantly, toward the top of Twin Slide's upper headwalls. We were aiming for the southernmost tributary. I noticed a deer print about halfway up the ridge to the slide top and wondered what its destination might have been.
The trees vacillated from tightly woven to relatively loose where a gentle wind penetrated. Nothing alleviated the blackflies that accompanied the tiring push upward, however. Again, my hair and some deet kept them off my neck. The swarm did not give up over the 1.5 hours it took to reach open rock once again. The flies and fleeting time kept us moving forward at what deceptively felt like a strong pace. At what seemed like the correct place, we veered off the thin ridge and down through the steep woods and ledges. Finally, at 3:20 p.m., I found myself upon a thin band of rubble no wider than 5'. We'd entered the slide just below the final slab which WWBF described as less than clean.

Cleft and ledge set in the main stem of the slide, what I call the North-Middle Tributary.
Twin Slide
Our route would take us down the southern tributary to where it narrows into a thin choke point, northeast through the woods to the central slides. Based on the individual release points, I consider there to be two central slides which connect at two distinct points forming two large mid-slide islands of trees. We'd then climb up above the top island and continue northeast across it and through the woods to the smaller slide set the farthest to the northeast. In short, we'd cross from the extreme SW leg to the far NE leg. WWBF and I had been on the central slides in 2006, but never explored the others. The entire slide was new to LNT, so each of us set foot on new territory this day.
Thick swarms of blackflies kept us company while snacking atop Twin Slide. NT had a white shirt that got darker with time due to the little vamps. The breeze on Ermine Brook Slide was less than a whisper on the east side of the mountain. I saw leaves moving below and hoped for some breath of wind as we exited the thin strip of rubble onto a bit of ledge-ridden slab. The upper portion of the SW tributary below was a sandy mess of rubble, both small and large. Spruce and birch grew in the loose debris as well. The view was spectacular, however. The impressive slabs of the upper central slide were absent on this leg.
A large boulder near the top served as a perfect perch from which to take pics of the land below. After a quick look around, I realized that the thick sand and scattered rocks created a potential hazard. Any one of us could easily loosen a rock unto another without careful foot placements and attention to our surroundings.
The exposure of this leg is almost due east with small sections of rolling slabs entering from the north. Due to the content of the slide, I hadn't changed into my rock shoes, so I avoided their tempting surface. They were steep enough that, with any sand on the soles of my shoes, I could easily take a fall.
In what seemed like no time at all we reached the lower portion of the southern leg where it choked into a single drainage. Due to time constraints, we chose to forgo a further descent and bushwhacked north to the central portion. WWBF was about 100' lower than we and maintained that trajectory throughout the next few minutes. NT and I cut over and up through the thick woods and quickly emerged below my favorite part of the central tributaries…a large area of steep ledges just above an area where the adjoining slabs formed a deep "V".
We climbed the lower portion, took pics and entered the thickest and shortest bushwhack of the day to the far northeast tributary of the array. The woods were almost impenetrable at times with more blowdown than I cared to deal with. After another few minutes, at 4:10 p.m., NT and I emerged at a ledge and dropped down to the headwall of the ne leg. It was about 100' in length and 50' wide. My shoes had no grip on its surface, so I carefully scooted down using other body parts to increase traction. WWBF was at the bottom in the rubble having a snack.
Headwall of the northeastern tributary.
We dallied not, and walked through the short stretch of rubble to the next set of slabs which were a bit less steep. NT took a hard fall on some broken rock and caught himself before rolling off a small ledge. I set my feet to stop him should he fall any farther. A rock also broke loose on this section and careened to WWBF. He dodged in the correct direction and avoided the impact. {WWBF edit: At the very end of NT's slip, his foot touched an angular football-sized rock, and sent it careening towards me. I initially dodged left to avoid the rock. The rock, in turn, deflected right toward me. My cat-like reflexes allowed me to quickly change direction, and the rock was avoided.} We were getting tired for it was now late afternoon and we'd been off trail since 10:00 a.m.
The lower section of the tributary contained more rubble. WWBF stayed to the northeast and NT and I took a steep bottleneck of boulders around the southwest side of the island of trees where the leg meets the main stem (central portion of the slide). Perhaps I was just being overcautious, but I took great care in this area not to loosen anything and create a cascade effect. The rocks seemed to be piled too precariously for comfort. For information, the island of trees is about 250 ground feet lower (roughly 3,250 elevation) than the confluence of the southern and central runs.
The final lower portion of the slide below the confluences of the various branches was delightfully free of sand and rubble. It is truly the gem of the slide with its multiple pitches of open slab and beautiful cascades and pools of water. They're too numerous to describe in full detail, but dominate the scenery until the slide peters out below. They seemed to never end when we climbed the slide years earlier. The routes one can take around the cascades or up the slabs are nearly endless. The dominant sections of slab angled toward the central drainage of water, alternating sides on occasion. The crease was often choked with boulders which formed the many cascades. As the elevation fell away, large rolling slab gave way to sections defined with ledges. Interesting dykes of varying composition crossed the slabs as well.
The slide finally dwindled in width just past a large vertical wall on the north side to become a drainage stream. A large bank of rubble defined the southeastern side at the very bottom where it turned north toward the swamp. Following the stream, we soon came out to a beautiful zone of flat, white, open rubble. In many ways (minus the sand), it reminded me of a peaceful zen sand garden. Cedar trees grew randomly and dominated the periphery.
Trees near the beaver ponds at the base of Santanoni (eastern side).
We discussed various options to get out of the wilderness and around the swamp. The time stood at 5:30 p.m. when we simply began to follow the white stone path to the western-most pond. It took a few minutes to skirt the southern side of it which set us in the woods at the western edge. I then adjusted the declination and led us northeast on a heading of 45 degrees toward Santanoni brook and the path just beyond.
The trek wasn't bad…for a while. The ponds to our southeast were beautiful in the late afternoon light. We reached the drainage on the other side of Santanoni's eastern ridge (from the summit) within one half hour and started to ascend. That's when it got tricky. We started to ascend the next low ridge which stood between us and Santanoni Brook. The woods began to get thicker and ledges increased with the blowdown. A complete ascent would have taken us up almost 300' in elevation. WWBF got tired of going up, as did I, and suggested we stay on contour and skirt the far side of the ridge. I changed our heading to about 75 degrees and stayed on contour when it made sense. It was .4 mile to the brook as a bird would fly, but not for us. The .4 mile became a running joke with a sharp sting over the next hour.
As we side-sloped the southeastern side of the ridge, my feet began to develop multiple hot-spots. Forty-five degree slopes and sand will do it every time! Ledges got in the way on occasion and we found the occasional logging road to easy our trek. As it began to lessen, WWBF found a nice logging road to follow which eventually led around the last slopes of the hill and to the sound of running water. After a sharp descent, we found our goal. To add insult to injury, it took another 5 minutes to reach the trail after the stream…we'd entered an area where the woods were at their widest. NT kissed a rock on the trail as we fed our appetites and settled for a break at 6:40 p.m.
The remaining few miles passed without much excitement, thankfully. The weather cleared to a bright blue evening sky and the conversations were relaxed. I kept thinking the truck was only another ".4 miles" away as a tribute to our last bushwhack. 7:50 p.m. found us back at our vehicle and readying ourselves for the return to the other cars as Santanoni Preserve.
