"The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living."
– The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte 1852
Every year we see previews boasting awards from film festivals we've never heard of. We flock to the indie section of our video stores and rent the entire Sundance section and try to decide which one will make a big splash in the theatres. This year it's time to branch out and explore some of the more successful, albeit off the beaten track, festivals around the world. Some are a little strange and others fill a cinematic void but they have all become a force in their field.
Slamdance Film Festival
While it may not be featured on Entourage any time soon, the Slamdance Film Festival is the coolest Independent Film Festival around. In a bold move the festival takes place in Park City, Utah at the same time as Sundance. In true indie fashion Slamdance accepts only films made by nobodies with next to no money (ok, so that is studio speak for under one million). It's the festival "by filmmakers for filmmakers" and it's good at its game. Recent turn outs have included Mad Hot Ballroom, which received the highest price ever for a full-length documentary, Napoleon Dynamite and Memento.
Winners this year include How to Be with surprise star Rob Pattinson BEFORE he became a vampire. Pattinson goes back to his rock star beginnings in this film about a wanna-be lyricist and his budding friendship with a self-help guru.
The Faux Film Festival
These films are often short but are truly independent. The annual festival lives in Portland Oregon but most films show up on Youtube.com. Hands are Bananas was a 2007 entry by Nick Andrews that erupted into one of the most viewed and discussed clips on-line. It wasn't even voted the best on at the festival!
The Pocket Film Festival
Calling all hi-tech artists… the PFF features only films made using cell phone camera. Putting a new cap on low budget many artists have used this Paris institution as a chance to test out a new medium. This 'sensible' festival is based on the idea that you always have your phone with you, so you'll never miss that perfect French New Wave shot. Perhaps Jean-Luc Godard will give the 2010 festival a shot?
Bourne to Die Horror Film Festival
Hopping across the pond to Dorset UK you can find a small festival with big screams. Focusing on the truly disturbing films, Bourne's features all pull storyline from the deepest darkest fears of mankind. Last festival, the found footage film Home Movie carefully presented the home videos of a family after a recent move. The two 10-year old twin boys slowly develop as the embodiment of pure evil as their sweet parents also begin to see the truth. Shadowland was also featured and has won awards at festivals the globe over. After being left for dead, Laura crawls from the sewer with no memory at all. She is stalked by a man in the shadows as she attempts to reach help. These and more spine tingling features and shorts await you at the Bourne Festival.
Tropfest Short Film Festival
Often noted as the largest short film festival in the world this fest started as nothing but a movie screening night at the local Tropicana Café. Now it has more then 150,000 visitors a night and gets international buzz. Tropfest keeps things interesting by requiring filmmakers to reference the TSI, Tropfest Signature Item, in their submission. Past TSIs have been pickles, chopsticks and muffins. Supposedly this is an inspiration technique to keep the festival fresh.
Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival
Everything is always fantastic in Amsterdam. Showing off a lot of gore from the UK and sci-fi from everywhere else (in their Brave New World Programme) the festival has shown classic such as the newly released Haunting in Connecticut. Another haunting tale, 100 Feet, stars Famke Janssen and Ed Westwick. Janssen plays a prisoner on house arrest after serving seven years in prison for killing her abusive husband. Not only does she now find herself stalked by his ex-partner but she is haunted by her husband's vengeful spirit while she moves within a 100 ft radius. This program lines up a lot of movies that are sure to make a big splash in the cinemas.
It's the most famous concert no one in our generation can attend and no one in our parents' generation can remember. The plan was simple, get the greatest musical acts of the era together on one farm in New York and bring to life the living creature that was the Now Generation. By now most know it was more complicated than that, with local objections, last minute venue changes and so many guests that they stopped selling tickets and left the gates open.
Ask someone what Woodstock is and the answers today may vary.
'It's where Hendrix played the ultimate rendition of the Star Spangle Banner.'
'It's where Santana made his debut.'
'It's where Peace and Love met.'
'It's where Peace and Love delivered the infamous 'Woodstock Baby', the child of love that has never been confirmed.'
But is that really what Woodstock was about? A bunch of drug-addled hippies strumming guitars? According to Elliot Tiber, the music wasn't the point. While Joplin may have rocked harder that weekend than any other, it wasn't about the music. It was about family.
That message was first laid onto celluloid frames and shipped around the world by docu-director Michael Wadleigh [with famed Martin Scorsese editing, (imdb.com)]. His footage of the concert formed the documentary 'Woodstock'. It won the 1970 Academy Award and is preserved by the Library of Congress as a historically significant source (Wikipedia).
Yet it was another movie that caused a storm during the 40th anniversary of that epic weekend. 'Taking Woodstock', directed by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) and based on the book by Elliot Tiber, gave viewers the chance to get personal with someone close to the event. While Tiber wasn't one of the members of Woodstock Inc. who put on the show, his autobiography puts him in the thick of the action.
Stuck in upstate New York and spending his life savings rebuilding his parent's dream, Tiber (Demetri Martin) was desperate to escape. He needed the freedom of the Woodstock family. In the end he discovers he's a part of a generation that can't be held down. There are no restrictions. He's free to be himself, a gay interior designer with an penchant for dropping acid.
The Woodstock perspective says that everyone can be happy and in love. A modern Woodstock would consist of Emo-rock, anti-depressants and the unifying feeling that things could be better. The irony is that the current Millennial Generation, people born between 1985 – 1998, is obsessed with the ideals of the Hippie Generation. The idea of living the life of a flower child appeals, so why not embrace it? How could the flower children bear such pessimistic spawn? Maybe it's because everyone keeps saying that we live in apocalyptic times (buzz kill anyone?)
Or perhaps Millennials don't appreciate Woodstock for what it truly was. The Hippie Generation built Woodstock as a chance for the unification of people with a purpose. The generation of Millennials seems to have turned these ideals into a tye-dye tee-shirt and Beatles tramp stamp fad, seeing only the greatest concert of all time and not the cause. Or maybe we're just looking for our own great, living creature to be a part of; the thing that binds us all; only something that we can process in our over-stimulated, post-YouTube world.
We're not apathetic, we're just ADD. I blame the internet and therefore I blame Al Gore. (If I learned anything from Woodstock, it's always blame The Man.)

Dear Mr Stebler!
I immediately tested Pibella, and it worked superbly – what a great idea! Finally, no more penis envy! It would make Freud roll over in his grave.
During my stay here in Peking, Pibella pee aid has made many visits to public toilets a lot easier. Moreover, I have acquired a new perspective in terms of now being able to stand up while peeing 😉
All I need now is to practise for the winter months so I can "pee" my name in the snow.
Thanks a lot – I will recommend your product whenever I can.
Many kind regards from Peking! Silvia Perri, Austria
Dear Mr Stebler!

Warren Buffett has warned that the euro zone cannot work in its current form, but is more confident about prospects for the U.S. economy, according to a report.
"They can't have a common currency, but not common fiscal policy or culture," Buffett said during a speech at the Economic Club of Washington on Tuesday night, Dow Jones reported. "It can't be half slave and half free," said the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.
Buffett believes there is little chance of the U.S. economy entering recession in the near term. The legendary investor called on both sides of the political divide to compromise, the Democrats on spendingand the Republican's on tax increases.
Buffett, who was talking at the event to David Rubenstein, the managing director of investment giant Carlyle Group, said he supports President Obama but is not a "card-carrying Democrat."

In the category we have included smaller machines that are extremely useful, but have a reduced footprint and might better suit a business with a smaller budget. The Zafferani CNC is ideal for the small workshop that produces splashbacks. And the Battellino edgers are perfect for the jobbing shop where low volumes are required, but with consistent results.

I dreamed a really wonderful dream last night. I went to a Hindu store that had a public shrine. I dropped a couple of dollars in the plate and dropped pinches of incense on the smoldering coals. It felt so wonderful and natural that I should happen on a public shrine like that. Later, in a completely unrelated dream segment, I dreamed a friend of mine was an Elvis-esque rock star. (Now thanks to reading Christopher Knowles' new book I'm trying to decide if my friend is Apollo-like.)
Having a truly satisfying dream is a magical thing. You wake refreshed, inspired and invigorated. Sometimes dreams are just your subconscious yammering on or even a weird bit of food that cranks your imagination into overdrive. Ebenezer Scrooge was certain that was the case when he told Marley "there's more of gravy than of grave about you." Sometimes dreams are really messages from the Gods.While my rock star friend may simply just be because I like early rock and believe my friend simply rocks as a person, I think the dream of the shrine was divine inspiration. When we think about public Pagan projects we tend to think big: community centers, festivals, interfaith outreach. Maybe it's easier to start smaller.
Think of how much it would mean for people to create small public shrines outside their businesses or in their neighborhoods. You drop some coins in a box to help with upkeep, drop a few pinches of incense on the charcoal and say a quick prayer. Think about having something like that on your commute, on your lunch break or as you do your shopping and run your errands.
I know there are issues involved with creating anything public. I'm not suggesting we go install shrines with statues and candles by the sidewalk in front of our homes or businesses. I'm not suggesting we lobby for shrines on public property. It's just in my dream it was such a wonderful surprise to find a sacred Pagan place to pray and make an offering where I didn't expect it.

How to Fix Small Drywall Cracks
Buy a fresh tube of paintable silicone caulking.
Caulking is useless once it becomes dry.
Apply a thin bead of caulk into the crack.
Be sure to get the caulk actually inside the crack.
Smooth out the caulk bead.
You can use a wet finger if the crack is small enough. If not, use a 5-in-1 tool or a putty knife.
Clean away excess caulk.
Wipe the excess caulk away from the outside of the crack. Rubbing alcohol works great.
Paint over the patch with primer.
Don't skip this step or you'll end up with a permanently goofy-looking, non-matching area.
Apply touch up paint to the patch in your wall color.
This is why you saved that half a gallon of leftover wall paint.

Unexpected Influences returns, asking scholars about which books outside the field have changed the way they think.
Michael Swartz: "My favorite airplane reading is music biography and history, from Alex Ross's The Rest is Noise to Al Kooper's Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards. Every once in a while one of these books changes the way I think about my research. The latest one to do so is Elijah Wald's Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues."
Michael Satlow: "War and Peace is not the butt of jokes for nothing...Among many other things, War and Peace is a meditation on the issues of historical causation and narration. How do we really know how one event "causes" another? And how and for what purpose do we write about it?"

Fashion illustration for George Henry Lee Co by illustrator Winifred Aileen Brown
Dazzling 1930s evening gowns will take centre stage in the Lady Lever Art Gallery's new exhibition Putting on the Glitz, which runs from 16 October 2015 to 28 February 2016.
The display of 20 outfits from National Museums Liverpool's costume collection reveals how the glitz and glamour of Hollywood was reflected in the fashions of the period. In contrast to the loose, flapper-style silhouettes of the previous decade, women embraced more fitted styles with longer hemlines.
An evening dress that belonged to the daughter of the Chief Officer on the Titanic will be on show, along with a pearl and diamanté encrusted silk wedding dress bought from Brown's of Chester and garments purchased from Liverpool department stores George Henry Lee & Co. and Owen Owen Ltd.
Pauline Rushton, Curator of Costume and Textiles at National Museums Liverpool, said:
"Putting on the Glitz showcases the sort of stylish outfits that wouldn't look out of place in a Hollywood film. The sumptuous textiles, elegant lines and subtle embellishments really bring to mind the glamour of silver screen sirens such as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
"The outfits are also representative of a period of rising social aspirations. Much as we do today, people chose to demonstrate their affluence and taste through their choice of clothing."

"The outfits are also representative of a period of rising social aspirations. Much as we do today, people chose to demonstrate their affluence and taste through their choice of clothing."
Putting on the Glitz will also display a set of striking fashion illustrations which were designed for George Henry Lee & Co. by local illustrator Miss Winifred Aileen Brown (1907-1993). Born in Wallasey, Miss Brown worked as a fashion illustrator for the Basnett Street department store, later purchased by John Lewis, in the 1930s.
The illustrations have been loaned to National Museums Liverpool by Miss Brown's daughter, Mrs Gillian Harrand, who learned that her mother would sketch the fashions as they were paraded by models in the store. The sketches would then appear in the evening newspapers, advertising the goods to readers.
The exhibition also features a wonderful selection of accessories including shoes, stoles, handbags and hats, some of which were purchased by Liverpool doctor's wife and renowned shopper Mrs Emily Tinne (1887-1966).

Future class action? Dancers in Los Angeles file a wage & hour suit over independent contractor classification/
(Un)covering this story requires some care, as I don't want The Complex Litigator black-listed by content filters, hence the oblique references to follow.
It has been reported on latimes.com and abajournal.com that four dancers of the quasi-prurient-arts variety are suing nightclubs over unpaid wages and tips. (Normal references omitted; see hyperlinks.) The dancers are challenging their classification as independent contractors, contending that they are employees, who signed "independent contractor agreements" under duress.
Several thoughts sprang to mind when I read this story. First, it is unclear from the reporting whether these dancers are so-called "go-go dancers" at mainstream nightclubs (the dancers you might see in clubs dancing in elevated cages as part of the effort at ambience) or are dancers at clubs of the tip-for-tat sort. Second, this sounds suspiciously like either (1) a wage & hour class action in the works, or (2) an effort to avoid the pitfalls one encounters in wage & hour class actions by attempting to generate interest in a "mass action" of similarly situated dancers. Either way, the press coverage of the filing will probably generate a significant number of inquiries about how to join the suit. Third, both articles talk about how the independent contrator "agreements were signed under duress and are therefore void." This blog has previously covered independent contractors misclassification cases, discussed previously here and here. The terms of an independent contractor agreement are far down the list of factors examined when attempting to determine whether an employment relationship exists. And, finally, I just wanted the chance to discuss news about dancers suing for better wages, and now I have.

FOR educators, by Educators
It does appear that education will get plenty of billions in the recently approved stimulus package for education put into place by the Obama administration. And, there are those who oppose aspects of the stimulus package by saying that some features of the bill will not create jobs.
What do you think? Will it create jobs? More importantly, will the education portion of the bill create jobs?
I can't control the outcome of other features of the bill, but I can say that we together as those working in education CAN positively effect the results.
Getting over the "what's in it for me?"
If you work in technology you can look at the reports to see your estimated allocations. But just like an inheritance, those in charge of the spending now have a huge responsibility.
Is it to make sure the money goes where it should? Is it to benefit the teachers and students with the latest technologies and hardware? Is it to make sure that purchased equipment and software is fully utilized? Is it to make sure teachers and students are well trained as an investment of its use? Is it to actually create jobs both short and long-term to stimulate our economic growth? It should be all the above.
The good stewards
Just because we receive money does not automatically mean that those objectives stated above will be achieved. In my travels and working with large districts in education, many times coordinators have expressed concern over lack of funds and the ability to have the latest and greatest equipment and accessories to properly train students.
After some brief observation or sometimes even candid expression from an administrator who has unfortunately inherited multi-million dollar lawsuits brought on by incompliance, misuse of funds, and, the purchases of hardware and software that no one knows how to use, do find themselves in a brand new dilemma.
The good steward, as many I have encountered especially those district and regional technology coordinators have been wise to see the need to issue policies on training, compliance and other areas that help to unite their own site-based force as responsible recipients of such a prize.
Possibly the opposite of a good steward would be the irresponsible lottery winner who blows their money, or a spoiled teenager who wastes their money – and comes back only to need more.
As educators, I'm sure we'll not only set the standard, but will raise the bar by turning our loan into short-term jobs, and perpetual careers with a highly trained work force that exceeds other countries.
Speaking of China
I returned from my second business trip to China in 2006 (my first was in 2003), and upon my return my statement was "China will own U.S. in about 10 years". It happened a bit sooner, didn't it? Well, maybe they don't actually own us, but we do owe them a lot of money.
It's not enough now to keep up with the U.S. standards for education. Nor is it enough to compete with our affluent and prestigious local district neighbors. Now, we must prepare our students for global and friendly competition.
In a more recent trip the past January to the BETT Conference in London (www.bettshow.com), I discover that not much has changed, in that the U.K. is still running a couple of years ahead of the U.S. in technology within education.
By embracing social networks an our ability to do class and student projects with the U.K., India, China and other countries, we can find ourselves and our students fused into the network and up-to-speed quite quickly.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
-John F. Kennedy
Doing my part
How will I personally create jobs as the good steward? Well, since I work for a technology company with a sole focus on education, we plan to develop new products, expand internationally, enhance customer service and, share our information regarding internet marketing with high school students through our SBC (Student Business Course) Program, which is ½ to full day workshops which are not only inspirational, but will give students the ability to execute their business ideas.
Hiring the hackers
With product development the need for programmers and other technicians increases. At Soundzabound, many of our technicians are young geniuses, some hired right out of high school. So, our SBC program also serves as a way of recruitment.
Global expansion
Overseas expansion does not necessarily mean you take away jobs here in the U.S. When you properly embrace a global economy, you can actually provide work for American teachers, trainers, tech specialists and sales people.
Enhanced Customer Service
In this day and age, if you are not able to assist you customer (in our case, Technology Coordinators) by saving them time, money, training their staff, utilizing technology and putting students to work, then you have nothing to provide.
By bringing such values to the customer, you are able to hire more sophisticated customer service staff to help execute these objectives.
And now for you part
The cost of technology is lower than ever while inexpensive software and free on-line resources abound.
When I started in education in 1996, it took a lot of money in those days to have a video studio, editing software and not to mention, server space to house video and other on-line and digital resources.
Today, hardware and new technologies are less expensive and in the true form of the trends, will probably continue to get less expensive, bigger in memory and smaller in size.
True, less fortunate school systems are in desperate need of computers, workstations and other hardware but once in place, furnishing these technological accommodations is for the most part an inexpensive cost.
So, where should the money go?
Training. The training of the teachers and students on the resources will be a vital part of the process.
Many times when grant money or other financial resources for education come along, the resources exist but teachers and students do not have the training on proper use. By making a further investment into training, you can't go wrong.
Those billion dollar babies
"Because most importantly, this is a story about people. Google was not investing $1.6 Billion in technology of YouTube – but in all the users of YouTube."
Do you see those 17 year-old eyes looking at you in the class? Look deeper, and see the shine. It's the glimmer of hope reflecting an idea for the future.
We need to just assume that the students know far more technologically than we do. We've all heard the terms of digital natives and digital immigrants, but how do we act as the spring to catapult the business ideas that sit stale in the minds of our students?
Honestly, the current situation stands that many will not be able to go to college nor get a job when high school is completed.
So, in order to jump-start the current economy and fuel it for the long haul, we need to help these students uncover their business ideas, start their own company based on their interests, and perhaps even employ others.
What I'm saying sounds very idealistic, but in reality – it's simple, and it works. Just look at our billion dollar babies such as Google, MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube and others, to see that big dreams are achievable.
Many students have great business ideas – and there lies the future of your economy. However, if they do not know how to start a business, incorporate, conduct internet marketing, ensure compliance and security along with all the other aspects of running a profitable business, then the ideas will go nowhere.
However, with our investments into technology and proper training, we can not only spark these ideas to come out of our students, but will also help provide them with the training they need to execute those ideas. Herein begins our fruitful economic recovery and ongoing legacy.
And if for some reason the stimulus package does not go through for education, we will continue doing what we have been doing all along to help seniors today make jobs tomorrow, and we invite you to partner with us in these efforts.
Ask not what your country can do for you…

1. Cohorting.
The implementation of patients and/or staff cohorting can improve the effectiveness of a bundle approach to control an outbreak due to MDR-Gram-negative bacteria. Laurent et al. described the failure of contact precautions (CP), isolation room, and active screening cultures (ASC) in controlling an outbreak of ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae. When the infection control measures were reinforced with the introduction of cohorting of colonized/infected patients in a dedicated ICU and total cohorting of nursing care and partial (daily shift only) cohorting of medical staff, the outbreak was controlled. According to the authors, cohorting was probably the most important contributing measure [1].
In a setting where MDR - A. baumannii was epidemic, a first multifaceted approach that included single rooms isolation, use of gloves, gowns and mask for affected patients without identification of carriers with ASC was ineffective in containing the outbreak. In a second phase, a partial ward closure with strict patient physical segregation and barrier nursing along with the use of ASC (three days a week) were introduced and these measures were effective in containing the outbreak [2].

text: Big stakes in Russia and medium-size companies have sent the usually consistent T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock down 50% over the past year. By Elizabeth Leary, Contributing Editor October 9, 2008 Maybe you read over the past few years that emerging markets had "decoupled." The theory sounds quaintly naive today, but the argument was that stock markets in developing economies had grown strong enough to flourish on their own, without the crutch of a booming, consumption-happy U.S. propping them up.The decoupling theory proved no match for an old platitude: The only thing that goes up in a down market is correlation. After looking as if they might buck the trend for the first seven months of the current bear market, in May emerging markets finally surrendered. Through October 8, the MSCI Emerging Markets index has lost 50% since its 2008 high on May 19, and it's down 50% over the past year. Investors in the T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock fund (symbol PRMSX), a Kiplinger 25 member, are feeling the pain more than most. The fund's 55% loss over the past year puts it in the ninth decile of funds that invest in emerging markets. That's an awfully big loss to stomach. Mark Edwards, who runs the fund alongside lead manager Chris Alderson and two associates, says the high-growth, medium-size companies the team favors have been doubly pummeled as investors have fled to quality among boring-but-reliable blue-chip types. He also says the fund's larger-than-average 15% stake in Russia, where stocks have fallen 68% year-to-date, accounts for some of its larger-than-average losses. Advertisement Such performance is an exception for this usually consistent fund. It beat the MSCI benchmark in eight of the past ten calendar years and lagged the index by only one percentage point in each of the other two years. Volatility like this is a good reminder of why -- even in the best of times -- emerging markets should make up a small portion of your portfolio. Volatility works on the downside as well as the upside, after all. But it is quite noteworthy that over the past ten years, this fund has returned an annualized 13% despite the drubbing it has taken during the past year. The lesson here is that you should approach emerging-market funds with a very long-term perspective. Edwards says the stocks he follows are now cheaper than they were at the lowest points of the Asian financial crisis in the 1990s, even though the fundamentals of these economies are vastly stronger today. He likes the BRIC countries -- Brazil, Russia, India and China -- which all have big financial reserves, more than Eastern European countries and South Africa, where financial health is less reassuring. And he's optimistic that as inflation slows in China and India, interest rates will fall back to earth, easing access to capital. Advertisement Despite the beating the fund has taken, Edwards is upbeat on Russian stocks. "The price of oil could go below $50, and the Russian energy story would still be a very strong one," he says. He notes that Gazprom, the government-controlled energy giant, currently trades for just three times earnings over the next 12 months. Edwards says he doesn't see emerging-markets stocks staging a recovery until markets all over the world move beyond their present panic. An immense amount of foreign money has flowed out of these stocks and won't return until investors regain their appetite for risk. But, he says, "Once the dust settles from this turbulence, you'll look back and say 'Wow, that was extremely good value.' "

"Clue" Transcript
By Mark Sundaram
What does Greek myth have to do with detective fiction? Welcome to the Endless Knot. Today we're going to follow the "Clue" to find out.
The answer lies in the story of Ariadne and Theseus. Ariadne was the daughter of Minos, King of Crete. Minos failed to sacrifice a particular white bull to the sea god Poseidon as he'd promised, and so that god punished him by making his wife Pasiphae (mother of Ariadne) fall in love with the bull, and... well, let's just say that the result was a half-man / half-bull, the famous Minotaur. So King Minos puts the Minotaur in the Labyrinth, puts his daughter Ariadne in charge of the Labyrinth, and feeds the Minotaur the seven youths and seven maidens that Minos extracts from the city of Athens as a tribute. This is where Theseus comes into the story. Theseus comes to Crete to kill the Minotaur and free Athens of its obligation. Upon his arrival, Ariadne immediately falls in love with him, and promises to tell him how to accomplish his task if he'll promise to marry her and take her away with him. She gives him a sword and a ball of thread for him to unravel as he goes into the Labyrinth. After killing the Minotaur, he is able to retrace his path by following the thread and escapes. Theseus does then take Ariadne away with him, only to later abandon her on the deserted island of Naxos on his way home to Athens. Jerk. Actually in some versions of the myth Theseus is made to leave her behind by a god, either by Dionysus because he wanted her for himself, or by Athene, goddess of wisdom and protector of heroes & of Athens, who leads him away for his own good. This practice of assigning motivations to the gods, especially for seemingly inexplicable or dishonourable actions by heroes, is common in Greek myth, and is sometimes seen as a very early theory of emotions and psychology.
But what does all this have to do with the word clue? Well the word used to be spelled c-l-e-w, and came from the Old English word clywen which meant "ball", particularly a ball of string or yarn, and in some parts of Northern England and Scotland it's still used in that sense. When writing about the story of Ariadne, clew was the word English writers, like Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, would use: "Thereto have I a remedye in my thought, that, by a clewe of twyn, as he hath gon, The same weye he may returne anon, Folwynge alwey the thred as he hath come." In fact this mythological reference was so common that it came to have a figurative sense, and gradually the literal meaning of "a ball of thread" disappeared leaving only the meaning of "that which points the way to a solution", by around the 17th century. So a whole new meaning for the word grew out of one specific narrative reference.
Of course the textile arts are a common thread in Greek myth, from the story of Ariadne and Theseus, to the spinning, measuring, and cutting of the metaphorical thread of life by the three Fates, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos. The other really famous example is in the story of Penelope, wife of Odysseus, one of the heroes at the Trojan War. During Odysseus' very long absence, a ten year siege at Troy followed by a ten year return journey home, Penelope had to fend off the advances of many suitors who wanted to marry her and take over the kingdom of Ithaca. One of the ploys Penelope used was to ask the suitors for a delay until after she finished weaving the death shroud for her father-in-law. Secretly each night she unravelled the previous day's progress, thus ensuring it would never be complete--at least until her deception was discovered. Like Ariadne's 'clew', Penelope's unravelling became a common narrative reference, even in modern literature.
But back to the word "Clue": it comes ultimately from an Indo-European root that meant "to gather into a mass, conglomerate, or curl" and leads eventually through various language paths like Germanic, Latin, and Greek to many modern English words such as glue, globe, claw, clench, cling, and clay. Through Greek we also get the word neuroglia or simply glia. The glial cells in the brain support and protect the neurons, the main brain cells involved in cognition, kind of gluing them together, hence the name, to collectively make up the grey matter of the brain, though recent research suggests that the glial cell may also play a more active role in cognition. But neuroscientists still have a lot of threads to unpick before they'll have completely unravelled that mystery!
We now often think of clues, at least in terms of detective fiction as well as in real life criminology, as trace evidence: fibres from clothing, DNA, footprints, etc. that a criminal leaves behind at a crime scene. This idea in forensic science was first formulated by Edmond Locard, that every contact will leave a trace, and the criminal will both leave behind and take away physical evidence which can be used to solve the crime. This is now known as Locard's Exchange Principal. And perhaps the most famous and transformative example of trace evidence --and the most cliched detective story clue--is the fingerprint.
The development of the science of fingerprinting in the 19th century is somewhat murky and mired in controversy. We'll start the story with Henry Faulds, a Scottish physician who went to Japan to found a hospital. While there, Faulds became friends with a naturalist, Edward Morse, whose study of shell mounds, basically dumping grounds for shells, had been praised by the likes of Charles Darwin. Morse had also become interested in Japanese pottery because of the fragments that were also often found in those shell mounds, and contributed significantly to the study of Japanese ceramics. Faulds accompanied his friend to the archaeological sites and noticed that he could see the labyrinthine pattern of ridges of the potter's fingerprints still visible on the surface of the fragments. Struck by this clue preserved in the clay (remember, clay comes from that same IE root!) he surmised that the pattern of these fingerprints was different for each individual and could be used to identify them. He began to study the matter, collecting fingerprints and experimenting, and determined that they were permanent and unchanging over a person's lifetime. Then one day, Fauld's hospital was burgled, and though the police suspected a staff member, Faulds believed in the person's innocence and used fingerprint evidence to prove it. Seeing the obvious importance of his discovery, Faulds brought his idea first to Charles Darwin who passed it on to his cousin Francis Galton. Galton, like his and Darwin's grandfather Erasmus Darwin, was a bit of a polymath. In fact, that's kind of the point with Galton, a member of the great Darwin-Wedgwood family – that's Wedgwood as in Josiah Wedgwood, noted not for studying pottery but making it. The family was filled with bright lights, and Galton was interested in studying the inherited traits of talent and genius, coining both the concept and the word "eugenics", and the phrase "nature versus nurture". Galton was also a counting fanatic, and tried to quantify everything mathematically, including women's beauty, compiling a beauty-map of Britain (spoiler: London rated highest, Aberdeen lowest), and the efficacy of prayer (spoiler: none at all), and developed the science of statistics and the concepts of correlation, regression towards the mean, and standard deviation. So it's not surprising that he'd be interested in fingerprinting. Except, he wasn't at first–and when he did turn his attention to it some years later, he either ignored or forgot about the work of Faulds, leaving him feeling miffed, and instead turned to the evidence of a man named William Herschel. Herschel years earlier, unbeknownst to Faulds, began using fingerprints not for criminal detection but for contract verification. Herschel – and if his name sounds familiar, that's because he was the grandson of the famous astronomer of the same name who discovered Uranus and son of another famous astronomer John Herschel, so I suppose genius ran in his family too – Herschel was an officer in India, who, having trouble with people pretending their signatures had been forged, hit upon the idea of taking fingerprints as well as signatures on contracts to avoid this. Herschel had compiled a large collection of fingerprints which he passed on to Galton, who established the scientific study of fingerprints and began a system for classification. Herschel later sent Galton's book on fingerprinting to an old friend in India, Henry Cotton, chief secretary to the government of Bengal, who forwarded it to Edward Henry, the inspector-general of police in Bengal. Henry started to implement fingerprinting for police purposes, but finding Galton's classification system too complex, developed (with considerable help from two of his Bengali assistants, Azizul Haque and Hem Chandra Bose), a new simpler system, now known as the widely used Henry Classification System. Henry's assistants didn't, at least initially, get their deserved recognition for their work, so I guess this story is full of failure to give credit where it's due.
In any case, in 1901, a fingerprint bureau was established by Edward Henry, now assistant commissioner of Scotland Yard, and in 1902 a man named Harry Jackson became the first man in Britain to be convicted on the basis of fingerprint evidence for a thumbprint he left on a freshly painted windowsill – the crime: burglary and the theft of a set of billiard balls. A few years later in 1905 the brothers Alfred and Albert Stratton were the first to be convicted of a major crime, robbery and murder of a paint shop owner, due to a fingerprint they left on the cashbox.
But getting back to clues in detective *fiction*, the 1903 Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder" by Arthur Conan Doyle, set some years earlier in 1894, had already featured fingerprint evidence in a murder case, not to mention many other stories using trace evidence and other forensic techniques, such as footprints, tobacco ash, and handwriting analysis – and, notably, the distinctive types of clay found on people's shoes. Sherlock Holmes as a detective is in fact famous for solving crimes by searching for physical clues. Agatha Christie later on poked a bit of fun at Conan Doyle's famous detective, including a very Holmes-like character, a police detective named Monsieur Giraud, in the novel Murder on the Links. Giraud is a meticulous clue-finder whom Hercule Poirot calls a "human foxhound", and he is misled in the case by trace evidence. Poirot instead chooses to use his "little grey cells" (remember the neurons and glia of the grey matter), and solves the case through criminal psychology. As he says, "when you have two crimes precisely similar in design and execution, you find the same brain behind them both. I am looking for that brain, Monsieur Giraud, and I shall find it. Here we have a true clue - a psychological clue. You may know all about cigarettes and match ends, Monsieur Giraud, but I, Hercule Poirot, know the mind of man." So like the Greeks using their gods as explanations for people's actions, Poirot is concerned with the motivations behind the crimes. And this brings us full circle back to ancient Greek myth, which seems to have been a particular inspiration for Agatha Christie. Hercule Poirot's name is obviously reminiscent of the Greek hero Hercules, whom Christie specifically recalls with her book titled The Labours of Hercule, playing on the myth of the 12 Labours of Hercules. And one of her recurring characters, who is a mystery writer stand-in for Christie herself, is named Ariadne Oliver, bringing us back to the story of the Labyrinth. And finally, recalling both the figures of Ariadne and Penelope and the importance of textiles in Greek myth is Miss Marple, who is always knitting in her books; in the novel The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, when she complains to her doctor about being old and having to recuperate from an illness, this conversation occurs:
'And even my knitting - such a comfort that has always been, and I really am a good knitter. Now I drop stitches all the time - and quite often I don't even know I dropped them.'
Haydock looked at her thoughtfully.
Then his eyes twinkled.
'There's always the opposite.'
'Now what do you mean by that?'
'If you can't knit, what about unravelling for a change? Penelope did.'
'I'm hardly in her position.'
'But unravelling's rather in your line, isn't it?'
And so, we've followed the clew safely all the way through this labryinth of etymology, myth, history, literature, and science.

Our trip is now complete. It's time to skedaddle.
But the trip isn't over. It's time to get back into our own lives, but we'll bring this trip and its images in with us, where its perspective-setting power will continue expanding our view of life.
Pulling from earlier daily postings, I'd like to offer a composite retrospective on our great southern sojourn, our Natural Mystery Tour. And I'll do this through the lens of the conservation issues—implied and explicit—behind some of what we've been seeing.
It's clear that subtle conservation issues have been with us throughout. Most of what we saw and heard about, from penguins to rats, is being affected by climate change. The rats stand to have a good time as glaciers recede and they can reach more of South Georgia. It's now a rat race between eradicators and shrinking glaciers. And the prospects of warming for animals adapted to cold are not positive. Nearly everything we saw depends on an animal we did not see that depends on sea ice: krill. And sea ice is shrinking too.
We happened to be here on October 31 when the United Nations announced that the human population has blown past 7 billion, making it—speaking for myself—a very scary Halloween indeed. The implications encompass everything.
We are surrogate travelers for those 7 billion people. But—most have never heard of the creatures we saw on this trip; their extinction would create scarcely a ripple across most human minds. If people care to protect only what they love, what hope is there for the vast majority of animals whose existence means so little to so many?
That, I suppose, is why we're here—to create a little hope. We must keep in mind that the abundance we saw is no guarantee of future abundance. But we must also keep in mind that natural resilience can confound pessimism. Whales are still essentially gone from these waters. But the fur seals have risen from the dead.
But being aware of these issues doesn't detract from being here. It's always wonderful to be close to the animals. Here where they don't fear us, the intimacy, the eye-to-eye looks, are very special. I hope we find a way to live up to their trust.
Seven billion people require a lot of food. Remember the Magellanic Penguins we saw on the Argentine coast? Dee Boersma of the University of Washington has documented that many skipped breeding in 2011. "And those that came," Dr. Boersma has said, "were skinnier than they normally would be, and the females laid smaller eggs." That's because anchovies that those penguins eat are being over-fished. Dr. Boersma has said. "We're harvesting more and more anchovy out of the ocean to feed pigs and chickens in China and salmon in Norway and Chile and other places. And that's anchovy that can't go to penguins. As we take more and more food, penguins are going to be in poorer condition and have a harder time making a living." [see http://bit.ly/p3AhHu]
We've seen and visited many albatrosses. And surely, an albatross colony is one of the greatest spectacles in wild nature. The Falklands have been home to the largest albatross population in the world. But between the mid 1990s and the mid '00s, the Falklands' Black-browed albatrosses lost about 38,000 pairs—nearly one adult bird per hour.
Yet in recent years, that decline seems to have been arrested. Boats fishing around the Falklands must now use streamer lines behind the vessel to scare and discourage birds from approaching close behind the boat. Boats using this technique kill only about two percent as many albatrosses as do boats not using streamer lines. So, the decline in the Falklands' Black-browed Albatross population appears to have stabilized.
In South Georgia, we found a wild, Lord-of-the-Rings landscape of high-spiring peaks, massive ice, steep rock-and-hummock slopes, howling winds, and shrouding mists. This spectacular scenery comes both highlighted and haunted by seals, penguins, albatrosses, Shackleton's ghost, and the ghosts of whalers and sealers.
All during our trip, we saw exactly two large whales and two old whaling stations (Stromness and Grytviken). Why that ratio? This answer is from Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals, published by Academic Press: "In 1904, the Norwegian whaler C.F. Larsen arrived at South Georgia and reported with astonishment, 'I see them in hundreds and thousands.'" But during the next 60 years, "the whaling industry killed approximately two million whales in the southern hemisphere. This included 360,000 blue whales, some 200,000 humpbacks, almost 400,000 sperm whales and a staggering three quarters of a million fin whales." *
Many of those whales should still be alive. That's why we haven't seen more whales.
On South Georgia's beaches, Southern Elephant Seals got much of our attention. What looks at first like a lot of lounging very soon reveals itself as a hard struggle for existence. Being a male seems particularly unpleasant. Being a female is no bed of roses, either. It seems likely that no one would want to come back in a next life as an elephant seal. During the heyday of whaling, elephant seals were also slaughtered for oil. That killing stopped about 60 years ago, and their populations have been recovering well.
In several places, we enjoyed the proximity of many King Penguins and their big wooly chicks. Salisbury Plain, a particularly stunning part of South Georgia's generally stunning coast, seemed the Serengeti of penguins. That parent penguins can recognize their own chicks' voices among large moving mobs is a wonder of evolution and devotion. But everything depends on the fact that they do.
We also got to see many albatrosses in South Georgia. And these included the ethereal Light-mantled Sooty, the exquisite Gray-headed, and the gigantic Wandering Albatross.
"I now belong to a higher cult of mortals, for I have seen the albatross!" exalted the American ornithologist Robert Cushman Murphy during his first trip to the South Atlantic, in 1912. Like us, he eventually found himself on Prion Island. On Prion we had the privilege of visiting as near to a holy shrine as anything in nature: a nesting ground for the Wandering Albatross (probably the only one in the world that tourists can visit).
Wanderers wield the longest wings in nature: up to eleven and a half feet tip-to-tip. During a life spanning perhaps 60 years, they wander literally millions of ocean miles and can stay at sea for years. To feed a chick, they may fly five- to ten-thousand miles and stay at sea for a month to gather enough food for one feeding. They mature at nearly 10 years of age. Courtship takes several years, after which they choose a mate for life. They can lay only one egg in a season. If it breaks, they cannot replace it. A chick requires a year to fledge. Parents cannot breed every year. They have one of the slowest, most extreme life strategies of any living thing.
The solutions that have stabilized declines of other kinds of albatrosses don't seem to be working for Wanderers. Wandering albatrosses are declining, and this colony has been losing about one percent of its birds each year for over 20 years. Albatrosses of many kinds follow long-lining ships bearing fishing "long-lines" miles long bearing hundreds of baited hooks, trying to snatch bait before the line sinks. Or they follow trawl-net-draggers, whose cables can slice long wings. In these situations, being first can be worst. And, as the biggest of all, Wanderers are often number one in the food line. If there's trouble to be had, they're quite at risk.
As on other oceanic islands, whaling ships brought rats to South Georgia. They've been devastating to the smaller seabirds. Prion Island is rat-free, and we instantly saw—and heard—the difference in the form of the sweet spring singing of a small, subtle bird that cannot be seen anywhere else on Earth. It's the world's southernmost songbird: the South Georgia Pipit.
On our last day visiting South Georgia, at Elsehul's beach we saw iron cauldrons in which hunters boiled elephant seals for oil. It must have been a miserable time for hunters and hunted, full of blood, pain, and loneliness. Sealers also killed so many fur seals that even before 1900 they were believed exterminated. A century later, there are again millions. Is their explosive increase due partly to the lack of whales competing for the same food? One thing it does show: Resilience. Life strives against all odds.
We have made a pilgrimage to one of the world's most "remote" places. Yet here, ringed by high, wind-bitten slopes, we found ourselves continually in the exquisite, often crowded company of animals who are very much at home. These creatures, our co-voyagers on this ship called Earth, have impressed themselves forever into our minds and memories.

Adding small amounts of sugar, fat or a chunk of raw peeled potato to a prepared dish are three common ways to make it less salty. Sugar tones down the other flavors of a dish, whereas fat coats the tongue of the person eating it, preventing the salt from hitting the taste buds on the tongue.
Adding sugar to a prepared dish is tricky, however, because the cook has to pour enough sugar into the dish to counteract the salt without changing the intended taste of the dish. For example, if a marinara is too salty and the cook adds too much sugar, the marinara has an overpowering sugary flavor that engulfs the flavor of the herbs and spices in the dish. If the cook adds too little sugar, the marinara's flavor interchanges sugar with salt. Therefore, the cook has to experiment with this method to ensure a favorable outcome.
Finally, a chunk of raw potato placed into a water-based dish, such as a soup or stew, is said to absorb some of the salt from the liquid in the dish, although there's no evidence of this actually working. After use, the potato must be discarded before the cook serves the meal.

Falling in love is terrifying and glorious simultaneously. If you don't open yourself up and trust him to catch you when you fall, you'll never fly. I've gotten to the edge of that precipice a few times in my life… it always seems worth it even when he doesn't catch me.
In the words of Anne of Green Gables:
"When I think something nice is going to happen I seem to fly right up on the wings of anticipation; and then the first thing I realize I drop down to earth with a thud. But really, Marilla, the flying part is glorious as long as it lasts. . .it's like soaring through a sunset. I think it almost pays for the thud."
But that thud is starting to get exhausting. I have black and blue bruises all over my body from the countless times I've allowed myself to trust that this time it would be different. THIS TIME it would be forever.
The loneliness is starting to devour me. I told him I contemplated "friends with benefits" just to fill the aching emptiness inside. I don't think I would really do it when it came down to it… I deserve the devoted commitment of someone who is crazy about me and will never use me or leave me, who is with me because he truly loves me and not because he's lonely. And I'd never want to make someone else feel less than worthy of true love. Anyway, the body and heart are intertwined and one can only separate them for so long.
Him= I've written about him here before. My standard of excellence. The one no one else has come even close to comparing to. My steady rock of support. He loves me, he makes me feel special, he makes me feel desired, he makes me feel important. He makes me feel heard, understood, cared for.
After this, how can I go back to normal life?
A thousand times I pinched myself. Was it really happening? Yes, everything I've envisioned and longed for and prayed for came true, but it was a mere shadow. It was real, but it wasn't real.
Restlessness consumed my soul for I knew this beautiful feeling was fleeting. My head knew the truth- this desire is a fantasy and these emotions are deceptive, untrustworthy. Meanwhile, the purest, deepest love filled me up completely. I didn't want to move or breathe for fear that it will all melt away like waking from a dream. I would take a bullet for this man. I would do anything within my power to make him happy. If he wanted me, I'd fight to keep him here beside me.
They say when you meet the person you've always expected to meet, that subconscious part of you recognizes your kindred spirit and you come alive like never before. Words seem inadequate and yet words aren't even necessary because volumes are spoken in the expressions of the eyes. Time flies and yet time is never enough.
The spicy, intoxicating scent of his skin. The warmth of his embrace. The silent tenderness felt in his touch. Every fiber, every molecule, every atom of my being hummed with a radiant euphoria that slammed against a cacophony of torment making me feverishly sick in the pit of my stomach. Joyful butterflies coexisted with unease. But every moment was worth it and I wouldn't change a thing if I could go back.
In case you think I'm a victim let me be clear that it was my choice to let myself fall and I knew what I was getting myself into. I couldn't help but fall at the same time as being in control when I did. I'm an eternal optimist who never seems to give up hope… and so for many months I clung tightly to the dream that he might change his mind… but I can almost guarentee there will never be a dramatic kiss in the rain or a wildly passionte hand-written love letter. He's always been forthright and honest. He's never hid his intentions. The lines have always been clearly drawn. We are platonic and there's nothing I can do about it.
"Because we are too similar," he says.
Which is precisely the reason I love him. All my life I've yearned for someone like him who sees the world in the unique way I see it. We want the same things. Our personal experiences are very different but we experience the world the same way. We laugh at the same stupid humor and sigh sentimentally at the same beauty, almost as though we grew up as brother and sister with the same inside jokes. It's pretty rare to find someone you connect with that deeply.
"I need someone to balance me out, to be strong where I am weak. We have the same weaknesses."
I get that. I respect it. But I can't shake off the feeling that he's my soulmate. I've finally come to a place where I am able to acknowledge that the feeling isn't fabricated because I want it to be true so bad… but it IS true. However, soulmates can be just friends and that's okay.
I don't have to guess whether or not he loves me because I know he loves me. I wish all men could be like him… honest about how they feel!
I'm tired of guesing whether a man is truly interested in me or if he just loves the excitement of the chase. I'm tired of swiping left on dating apps for days and days… I'm utterly exhausted from the passionate pursuit of charming, handsome men only to be left high and dry a few weeks later because the fire has sizzled out. That level of passion cannot be kept up by most people. Most people just want immediate gratification and they are only interested in serving themselves.
If we are really honest with ourselves, we all know deep down there is more to be had. We all really just want "the whole shebang." The security of knowing he'll always be there for you, the joy and comfort that comes with him being intimately aware of all your idiosyncrasies and accepting you completely despite them, maybe even because of them.
Let's not settle for less than what we deserve: the wild, passionate, devoted love of someone who knows you inside out and will stick by your side come what may. I'm holding out because I KNOW it is possible. I also believe it's possible for the "honeymoon stage" to never end. It takes work, but it's possible to fall in love and feel more in love every day than the day before. This is how I feel with this man and I won't settle for anything less than this feeling.

Clearly I am back in Jersey, because the only movies available to watch are on video. The bulk of them from a company called Feature Films For Families. Oh yes, it's good to be here.
I'm watching network news for the first time since last year, and it's incredibly disgusting. Maybe since I've been exposed to so much cable news since being at school, and the differences are jarring. But it's more likely that I'm appalled to see fat cats and broken water mains getting more coverage than financial policy or the effects of the financial crisis or anything to do with the armed forces. Maybe the problem with local news is its near-sightedness. There was apparently a water main break near the Holland Tunnel this afternoon. But Diana Williams probably couldn't tell me any war statistics. This is not to say that slam poets are better harbingers of news than those paid to deliver it (although in this case, I'd be prepared to say as such). I just wish I felt like the Eyewitness team cared about things that are real. God forbid they scare their core audience of senior citizens. Being in Philly, immersed in heavy political commentary for the past couple of days, has soured me on this filler.
Weren't news anchors once determined journalists? Do they even care about New Jersey's fattest cats? I don't begrudge the weather man, only the people who are supposed to be synthesizing things for the people who will not seek out any other news source. I'm bordering on ashamed here.

The Newry Canal Way is a 20 mile long distance route running from Portadown to Newry along the restored towpath of the former Newry Canal. This linear walk/cycle route provides a flat, level surface suitable for all. This walk takes in a section of the route, between Knock Bridge and Poyntzpass.
20 miles
Sheets 20 & 29
90% Towpath and 10% minor road
Moneypenny's Lock House, old locks, birdlife, aquatic life
Other Area
The towpath is part of Route 9 National Cycle Network so be aware of the joint use of this path by pedestrians and cyclists. This relaxing walk follows the towpath of the former Newry Portadown Canal, completed in 1742, it was Britain's first truly summit-level canal. At Knock Bridge take the towpath south towards Newry. The canal is on the left as you walk along this section and the River Cusher and the Belfast to Dublin railway to the right. The towpath was used by the horses which pulled the canal boats, known as lighters, along the canal.
The canal runs for 18 miles from the Point of Whitecoat, just south of Portadown, to Victoria Locks at the sea south of Newry. It meanders along the borders of Counties Down and Armagh from Lough Neagh to the sea at Carlingford Lough. The inland canal ceased to operate commercially over 60 years ago.
Beginning just outside of Portadown Moneypenny's Lock is the first you encounter. The Blacksmith's Cottage provides an interesting insight into this old trade. You will pass an interesting, almost intact, stone built lock at Terryhoogan with part of the lock gates remaining. Just north of Scarva, at a point known as Washbridge, the towpath narrows to pass around the abutment of the former railway bridge which carried the now dismantled railway from Banbridge to Scarva. Nearby is the Terryhoogan aqueduct which carried water from the Cusher River to the canal.
Scarva village is renowned for its prize winning floral displays during the summer. During the summer season the tearooms at the Scarva Visitor Centre provide a pleasant place to enjoy light refreshments. Information on the canal and local area is on display in this facility. In season, band concerts provide music at the bandstand beside the visitors centre each Sunday afternoon. Beside the bandstand the outline of the old canal basin can be seen. Here the canal boats would have unloaded and loaded goods such as butter and coal for transport to nearby Banbridge and Gilford - and would have pulled in for the night.
Rejoin the towpath and continue to Acton Lake/Lough Shark which is a haven for wildlife. The interpretative centre at Acton Lake is run by the volunteers who are restoring the waterway. It is built on the site of the former Sluice Keeper's cottage. Water from the lake was used to help control the water level in the canal. The canal rose to 78ft/24 m above sea level at Poyntzpass with the section between Poyntzpass to Terryhooghan being the summit level. 14 locks were built along the canal: 11 of them from Poyntzpass south to help the canal boats, climb to the summit level from Newry, and 3 north of Scarva to assist the descent to Lough Neagh.
In recent times a group of volunteers have formed the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland Newry and Portadown branch. Their aspiration is to see the canal functioning as a waterway again. They can often be found at weekends restoring the canal. Continue to Poyntzpass ( 'Access Information' for info. on public transport).
Please be aware that this walking route passes through urban areas and alongside an open water body. Volunteers who are restoring sections of the canal use power tools and saws, please heed any relevant safety information displayed. Care should be taken at all times. Please refer to the 'Walk Safely' information that can be found at the link below.

Don't forget the wonderful Petty Sessions Café in Poyntzpass.
One of Ulster Treasures. Very well maintained.
Beautiful nature walk. Walked from Scarva but watch for the cyclists (some are in a rush but most are very mannerly). We loved the village and there was a band playing in the bandstand -music was wonderful! What a great day to spend a Sunday afternoon. Will def do it again.
Great nice long walk for my dog, he enjoys it a lot. We start of by Newry and walk to Carnbane Bridge but sometimes we would go further. So peaceful and looking at the nature of it all, but would need to watch out for cyclists. Lovely walk all around.
Beautiful walk. Easily done as the surface is mainly flat and level. Able to take the buggy and the child, plenty to see nature wise and the train line runs beside it at parts so I had a very excited four year old waving to the trains on the way past. Will definitely be back, possibly on bikes.
A really good site.
I liked the Banbridge DC Area TouristMap.
I'd like to see a similar map for Portadown and Newry.
Keep an eye out for barn owls along this route, especially at dawn & dusk. Please let Ulster Wildlife know of any sightings.
where else would you get it?
