68 Tempest or 90 mustang
Hey guys, I'm just looking for opinions on a few cars. I'm looking for a new car..and I have two that are worthy of buying. a 90 Mustang, some tastful mods..pretty nice looking for 4,500 obo, or a 68 Tempest (350, head work and cams)...Needs a little work here and there but a pretty sharp car. 5,300 for that. I just wonder what everyone thinks about them two. I'm looking for some pretty quite replies so hopfully someone can help me out. Thanks!
I'm guessing this Mustang is a GT..?
Personally I'd have to go with the Tempest, but mostly because I'm a fan of the older cars. I don't know for sure, but I think the Mustang would probably be alittle cheaper/easier to find anything you needed though. Really it comes down to what you like more.
Yes sorry, mustang GT. Seems like an awful low price to me for a foxbody mustang with 68K on it.
68k on the odometer, on the car itself more like 168k, none-the-less still a good buy depending on the mods, body shape etc. These cars can last a long time maintained properly, even as old as they are, I know I own one and have known many other people who have owned them. If you have any questions specifically about them pm me and I'll try to answer your questions.

All the Leagues are very open this season with all the teams near the tops of the tables having lost at some point.
Now the world is thawing out (we are just being blown about instead now) I will try and keep this record updated a little more promptly.

Looking for an easy way to add fall and winter interest to your landscape? Native grasses are the answer! Fall is a great time to plant them, and you'll see their visual impact immediately. To top it off, their ecological impact is far greater than their visual impact and goes beyond your own backyard.
Ecological Benefits
During the growing season, many species of butterfly larvae (caterpillars) feed on the blade of native grasses. In fall and winter, grasses provide protection and nesting material for birds, small mammals, and insects. They are especially useful to the overwintering larvae and adults of beneficial insects.
Grass seed heads provide food for songbirds, insects, and small mammals. Their tough foliage clumps, whether dormant or growing, slow stormwater run-off, allowing it to re-infiltrate the water table.
Below ground, the deep roots of native grasses provide more unseen ecological benefits. They help stabilize the soil and reduce erosion. About a third of the massive root system of native grasses is replaced with new roots each season. As the 'retiring roots' decompose, they return nutrients to the soil, increasing its fertility.
There is one beloved insect in particular that benefits from native grasses – the firefly. These nocturnal insects spend most of the day on the ground, concealed by long grasses. At night, they crawl to the tips of grass blades and fly into tree branches to signal for mates.
Design Benefits of Native Grasses
If you intersperse tall native grasses in a tall perennial planting, they help hold the plants and heavy seed heads erect, so they don't 'flop'– allowing birds, pollinators (and you!) to spot them. Planted in large groups or swaths, they provide a dramatic element and can serve as a dense screen. Their golden fall color heralds the changing seasons. Their tall seed heads sway in the wind, adding movement to the still winter landscape.
Lower growing species such as Prairie Dropseed provide fine textured mounds and can be used as a specimen plant or filler.
Try any of the native grasses in containers. They will make a dramatic vertical statement and provide interest even when the rest of the container plants are dormant. Dried grasses are an excellent addition to flower arrangements, too.
There is no need to cut native grasses back in the fall – their dormant blades and seed heads provide important ecological benefits. If they start to flop or break under the weight of ice or snow, cut or trim for neatness sake if you wish. In spring, cut back last year's growth if you want them to look fresh and green throughout. If not, it's fine to let the dormant grass blades mix in with the new.
If you want to divide one of the clump forming grasses, do it in fall. Cut it back so you can see the clump Dig the clump out of the garden and use a sharp shovel, an axe or hacksaw to divide the clump into smaller pieces. Replant immediately.
Bottle-Brush Grass (Elymus hystrix)
Bottlebrush Grass is one of the few grasses for part shade to shade. It will place itself in niches here and there, sending up its delicate seed head to mix with other flowers in your garden. Widely adaptable. The seed heads resemble bottle-brushes and rise 12"-18" above the foliage in mid-summer. They slowly fade to tan throughout the summer and fall.
Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolis heterolepis)
Prairie Dropseed is a low growing, fine textured, clump forming grass. Great for edging in a formal garden. Drought tolerant, it takes full sun and turns orange in fall.
Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum) (Pictured above)
Switch Grass can take drought and periodic standing water. Creates tough, upright clumps. There are several cultivars:
- 'Heavy Metal' is noted for the metallic blue-green color of the grass blades. It is strongly vertical and is between 3' and 5' tall.
- 'Cloud Nine' reaches heights of 6'-8' with a cloud of airy seed heads at the top. A strong growing, blue switch grass. Coppery winter color
- 'Prairie Sky' grows 3''-5' and boasts powder blue leaves .
- Northwind are tall 4'-6' tall and remain reliably upright through most winter; '
- Shenandoah turns a deep maroon as the season progresses and is one of the shorter switch grasses, topping out at about 4 feet.
Little Blue Stem (Schizachyrium scoparium)
Soft blue color and gentle seed heads take on a slight reddish glow in the fall. As of 9/11/19 we have the straight species (seed grown) as well as the selection 'Standing Ovation' which is known for its sturdy stems that don't flop and striking blue-green color with hints o f pink and purple turning to red and orange in fall. Seed heads of Little Bluestem persist through winter, providing forage for birds.
Northern Sea Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium)
will spread aggressively. Nodding oat-like clusters of seeds, with their golden fall glow. Good naturalizer for dry shade, where the lack of sun and moisture may keep is aggressive nature in check.
Indian grass Sorghastrum nutans Bluish green foliage turning a translucent yellow-deep gold fall color and bearing panicles of copper seed heads flecked with yellow in fall.
Big Blue-stem (Andropogon gerardii) The king of native grasses with 3 fingered seed heads in August, and handsome gray to blue-green stems in spring turning to green in summer then to red in fall. Clump forming with excellent drought tolerance once established.

Aaron Cohen never planned to own an ice cream shop. Less than a year ago, in April 2014, he didn't.
Ben Sherman's eponymous Union Square restaurant, Sherman Café, sold Toscanini's ice cream when it opened 11 years ago but hadn't done so in recent years. And Sherman—who once worked for Toscanini's—had been wanting to sell ice cream again for a while.
Thus, in May, Sherman and Cohen met through mutual friends and partnered to found Gracie's Ice Cream, named for Cohen's then-infant daughter.
"We talked about it and it kind of started to seem like it made sense," Cohen told the Observer in November. "Union Square didn't have any ice cream."
Over the next 6 months, Sherman and Cohen updated the space that had once held Sherman Market, a small "grocery-type store with local foods," Cohen explained. They bought a 20-quart ice cream maker, and Cohen began experimenting with recipes. In September, they previewed the shop at Union Square's What the Fluff Festival, where "people went bananas" for the special chocolate fluff flavor, Cohen recalled. And, finally, in late November, Gracie's officially opened.
"Everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much as you had planned on," Cohen said, explaining that he and Sherman had hoped to open far earlier. But he added that opening in November gave them "a chance to nail [their] recipes over the winter before it starts to get hot again in the summer or spring."
So, for now, Gracie's is growing and experimenting. The gleaming white walls are covered in Star Wars-themed paintings and pop blares from iPhone speakers in the corner. Fruity pebbles, salty whiskey, and earl gray occupy menu space alongside chocolate, vanilla bean, and a special cookies and cream, with just a little bit of chocolate (they don't wash the ice cream maker after finishing a batch of chocolate).
But even though Union Square didn't have an ice cream shop before Gracie's, the surrounding area has an impressive history of good ice cream. When it opened in 1973 on Elm Street, Steve's was the first to offer branded 'mix-ins' like Oreos and Heath Bars in its super-creamy, low-air ice cream. Now owned by a former employee, the brand has moved to Brooklyn, like many other former Somerville residents. Christina's and Toscanini's, in Cambridge's Inman and Central Squares respectively, have been serving up 82 flavors at a time, combined, since the early 1980s.
But Cohen said the creativity has slowed in recent years. "The Boston area eats way more ice cream than most places in the country, all year round," he explained, "but it's been a while since there's been a new ice cream shop."
Somerville is a different city than it was in Steve's heyday—it may be that Union Square's first artisan-esque ice cream shop is a sign of greater change coming for the neighborhood. The planned Green Line Extension project has already brought much development to East Somerville, but Cohen says he hasn't yet felt the effects on businesses.
"There aren't a ton of like new places [in Union] yet; it's still check cashing places and insurance places," he said, adding that these types of businesses haven't survived rising rents in other Somerville and Cambridge squares. "I think over the next five years that'll all turn over. Hopefully the ethnic grocery stores stay because we get a lot of ingredients from them."
He admitted, however, that as rent prices have risen, the demographics of the Union Square neighborhood he's lived in for nearly 8 years have shifted rapidly. And even if he doesn't feel the pressure himself, businesses in Union are closing, including a family-owned insurance broker the week of the interview.
"As far as opening a new business, we are gentrifying the neighborhood because we are opening an ice cream shop that's needed here. But then, at the same time," he added, "I consider myself part of the community. I'm not someone who has lived here my entire life—we have neighbors here who have, and they might not consider me part of it. But we came before Union Square was, you know, Union Square."
The future of Cohen's project and the neighborhood it's a part of are unclear. But for now, it seems that an unexpected venture has become something sweet.
"I think at some point I'll start thinking things through a lot more than I do now, but I haven't yet," Cohen said. And then he laughed.

Insects and other foods the trout may be eating:
1. Blue-winged Olives
2. Little Black Winter Stoneflies
3. Streamers - matching sculpin, baitfish and small crayfish
4. Midges
Basics of Fly Fishing - Trout Food Series - Mayflies - Part 23
If you have been following along, I'm sure you are aware that we are at the most
popular stage of life of the Quill Gordon mayfly (Dun) for today's article. Few
anglers look at it as a stage of life. Many of them think it is the one and only Quill
Gordon because that is also the only fly that they ever fish during a hatch. That is a
huge mistake for those that want to catch trout consistently. There are some days
when dry fly imitations of the dun works just great but there are days when it doesn't
work at all. As I have mentioned in the past several articles, a few days prior to the
hatch trout can be taken on imitations of the nymphs and also, when they first start
to hatch, they can be taken on a wet fly when they refuse to take a dry fly from the
surface. As you will learn, they also can be taken on imitations of the spinners well
after the hatch has ended. Today, we are dealing with the dun stage of life which is
imitated with a dry fly.
The old original Quill Gordon was a fly intended to imitate this insect that was tied
Catskill style (vertical hackle) using quill for the body. A quill makes a segmented
body that matches the duns fairly well. The quill fly was named after Theodore
Gordon, as mentioned before. There is nothing pretty, or fancy I guess I should
say, about a Quill Gordon Dun. It has a mahogany body with dark drab wings as is
often called a Mahogany Dun, adding to the confusion of common names.
"Perfect Fly" Quill Gordon Dun
uses a goose or turkey biot for the body,
dubbed thorax, parachute style rooster hackle, split microfibbet tails, and two split,
hen feathers for wings. If you try to tie this fly, you will quickly see why they are
priced a little higher than the normal flies you find in most fly shops that are mostly
all tied in Asia, usually Thailand.
These mayflies will usually start to hatch about the warmest part of the day. This is
usually from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. The hatch last from thirty minutes up to an hour and a
half. When the trout are taking the Quill Gordon duns from the surface during the
hatch, catching them is a matter of fishing the current seams in the riffles and runs.
They take them from the surface the best when the water temperatures have risen
above 50 degrees, or at least stayed that high for a day or two. It is the consistency
of the temperature that counts. To make it simple, the trout take a little time to
adjust to the changes.
Often, when they start to hatch the water will drop back down to as low as 45 or so,
and the nymphs that were in the process of hatching, or splitting their wing pads,
will continue to hatch for a day or two, even though the water gets cold again. You
will find the surface action drops considerably. If it stays warm for a few days, and
reaches the mid fifties, the hatch will take place in a shorter period of time and will
be more intense. It will move upstream about 300 to 600 feet in elevation a day.
Also, remember they don't hatch in all parts of the stream, even where the water
often appears to be ideal for them. I do not know why, but they seem to hatch in
random spots along a stream. You need to keep looking and moving until you find
them, but you only have a short time interval to do that. Knowing the places on a
streams where they hatch each year is a big advantage.

Immigrant Policing, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism
Latina/o Sociology
Published by: NYU Press
320 pages, 6.00 x 9.00 in
- Paperback

Winner, American Sociological Association Latino/a Section Distinguished Contribution to Research Book Award
The United States currently is deporting more people than ever before: 4 million people have been deported since 1997 –twice as many as all people deported prior to 1996. There is a disturbing pattern in the population deported: 97% of deportees are sent to Latin America or the Caribbean, and 88% are men, many of whom were originally detained through the U.S. criminal justice system. Weaving together hard-hitting critique and moving first-person testimonials, Deported tells the intimate stories of people caught in an immigration law enforcement dragnet that serves the aims of global capitalism.
Tanya Golash-Boza uses the stories of 147 of these deportees to explore the racialized and gendered dimensions of mass deportation in the United States, showing how this crisis is embedded in economic restructuring, neoliberal reforms, and the disproportionate criminalization of black and Latino men. In the United States, outsourcing creates service sector jobs and more of a need for the unskilled jobs that attract immigrants looking for new opportunities, but it also leads to deindustrialization, decline in urban communities, and, consequently, heavy policing. Many immigrants are exposed to the same racial profiling and policing as native-born blacks and Latinos. Unlike the native-born, though, when immigrants enter the criminal justice system, deportation is often their only way out. Ultimately, Golash-Boza argues that deportation has become a state strategy of social control, both in the United States and in the many countries that receive deportees.
"Sociologist Golash-Boza offers a provocative assessment of mass migration into the US by putting it into a larger arena where laws that restrict free migration create a global apartheid that benefits Global North elites at the expense of the laboring masses in the Global South." ~CHOICE
"By drawing on the everyday experiences of deportees and connecting them to global capitalism, the neoliberal cycle, and racialized social control, Tanya Golash-Bozas work provides a much needed macro-level analysis of mass deportation." ~American Journal of Sociology
"This seminal book reveals the range of the deportee experience and should be used in the classroom and by researchers interested in why some move to her countries and what happens when they are forced to leave." ~Latino Studies
"Deported is a novel contribution to sociology and a student-friendly text that effectively serves both scholars of the United States and scholars of global migration." ~International Migration Review
"Tanya Golash-Boza has written a brilliant book that demonstrates the social suffering and global apartheid produced by neoliberalism, global capitalism and transnational labor markets. This book gives a human face to the problem of mass deportation and reveals the tragic consequences of mass deportation for laborers in the Americas. This book is a major contribution to immigration, social justice and human rights literature. It should be required reading for anyone interested in global capitalism, political economy, human rights and immigration." ~France Winddance Twine,co-editor of Geographies of Privilege
"Golash-Boza has written a timely, provocative, insightful, and important work about mass deportation. It encompasses deeply personaloften quite movingnarratives from the darkest corners of the global deportation machinery, before, during, and after deportation.This book must be read by all who care about the often dreadful effects of deportation on individuals, families, and communitiesand especially by the policy-makers, legislators, and judges who, often uncritically, continue to craft and implement deportation from the United States and around the world." ~Daniel Kanstroom,author of Aftermath: Deportation Law and the New American Diaspora

ok, here is my finished product for the banner i was making…. i couldn't show you before because it was for a bachelorette party for one of my bridesmaids sandra- but here it is! i was quite please if i do say so myself.
on to my next project!
so, i was going to blog this week about my table chart, BUT after going to ikea with kathy on sunday (ps never go to ikea on sundays!), kathy found some super neat picture frames that we're going to use to display our menus. i'm pretty torn right now about posting a picture of them though- i love blogging about everything, but then people won't be surprised on october 9th!!!
so, i'm going to take a little poll, for any of you that are reading….
would you rather see all the wedding details on here, or wait until the actual wedding and see it all together?! that being said, you're probably wondering what i would blog about if i wasn't going to show what i'm working on? i think i would be able to do it without giving everything away… unless you want me to give up all my ideas?! 😛
let me know peeps!
ok, so back to the picture frames. i love them! so what i need to do now is decide what colour paper to display the menus on, and how i'm going to get the menus on the paper. should i get it printed, or write it on myself? i do have pretty awesome writing if i do say so myself! haha i was pretty set on using different patterns and coloured paper for each frame, with the menus printed in black, but i saw a picture of menus done up yesterday, and i think i might just change my mind. what is the new idea? i think that's my little secret. for now.


text: Watching lads use sex toys and cum on live webcams is fun, but what if you could be the one who is making their xxx sex toys go?! It sounds almost too good to be true, but on CameraLux, this is the reality. On interactive sex cams, you are able to make the sex toys of these randy camboys do just what you please. If you'd like his interactive vibrator to pulse while inside his arse, you can make it do that. Or perhaps you fancy having his wireless fleshlight go up and down around his pecker at a speed so fast, you'd think it'd fly off. Interactive sex toys have upped the ante in the world of online sex. No longer are you simply sitting in front of your screen and watching a lad having a wank or getting boffed, now you are able to be a part of his pleasure and doing so makes you feel more connected. Simply watching lads shag and cum is so impersonal, now with the thanks to interactive sex toys, you are able to have an actual connection with the lad on the other side of the screen.

Have you ever tried to make your homemade deodorant or antiperspirant? I never thought of this before until I became oily and saw all the Pinterest and Youtube video explanations of how easy it really was.
All marketed deodorants uses chemicals those may be harmful for our body if used long term. I never realized how bad those chemicals were for you. Some of those are… Aluminum, Parabens (used as preservative, can cause organ toxicity and birth defects), Propylene glycol (can cause damage to nervous system and heart, if used long-term), Triclsoan (actually a pesticide, can cause cancer).
I always wore antiperspirant with aluminum to keep me drier until I learned the harmful effects, mainly with aluminum. Did you know it can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease and linked to Breast Cancer in Women?
Let me show you more about aluminum if you are not aware. Here is the definition I got from dictionary.com
These reports compelled me to create and use my own natural deodorant that is Safe & Useful. Moreover, it is easy to make and cheap too.
Here I should mention that eating good green food and drinking sufficient water may help you to get rid of body odor. You may start practicing it and see the results. Of course, it may take several weeks before you feel the difference.
It's not drinking water can only help reduce body odor. It has many other health benefits too. Check this article how water can boost you from inside.
Making Homemade Deodorant Using Essential Oils.
Let's get started.
Make sure you have an empty deodorant container before you get started. I have two on hand so I can have an extra in case I do not get around to making it for a few days. I would hate to go without that would not be good at all.
Homemade Deodorant Recipe.
- 2-3 tablespoon 100% beeswax – you can buy this at any craft store.
- 1/4 cup coconut oil – I buy mine at Trader Joes
- 1 tablespoon Vitamin E – I purchase the vitamins and just break open the capsules
- 1 heaping tablespoon 100% pure cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking soda with no aluminum
- Few drops of Essential Oil (I like to use Lavender Essential Oil)
6 Simple Steps To Prepare Deodorant at Home.
- Put your beeswax in a microwave-safe bowl (I usually use a 2-cup in a measuring cup) and microwave for about 30 seconds at a time until it is all melted. It will solidify and help you sweat less.
- Then add coconut oil to melted beeswax. It will automatically mix as the wax is so hot. Coconut oil has the antibacterial activity that will help to condition and soften your skin.
- Add the Vitamin E – which can help as a preservative and will help to soften and condition your skin as well as get rid of any dark spots on your underarms.
- Add in your cornstarch and baking soda. It should become creamy and thick.
- Make sure you have your container dial turned all the way down so you can pour your mixture into the container.
- Then carefully put it into the freezer for about 20 minutes to let it set.
Here is a video tutorial to help you understand the process.
Final Words
So now, your homemade deodorant is ready to use, and you can keep it in your bathroom for everyday use. You can play with various essential oils to create different types of aroma for different occasions. Hope you enjoyed this recipe and get a chance to switch out your OTC deodorant or antiperspirant.

Here is a glimpse into my journey into Northern Kenya...
Sitting comfy on a tiny aircraft, flying out of Niarobi
Fields of tea
The landscape was getting drier... on the left side of the plane was a foggy, snow-capped Mt Kenya... I just couldn't get a good pictures!
Gorgeous hills!
Sandy regions
Driving to Kalachi, in the Chalbi Desert at night. Pure sand and salt.
I don't have much to say right now... I am completely relaxing with my Andersen friends... I have done nothing but hang out with them!! This break is so greatly needed.

Jennifer E. Miller, S.T.D.
Professor of Moral Theology
Cajun by birth, Dr. Jennifer E. Miller comes from the Lafayette area. She earned her BA in theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2002, after which she worked for two years in youth ministry in the Ville Platte area of southern Louisiana.
Travelling to Rome to complete her studies, she earned an STB at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in 2007 and an STL in moral theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in 2009. After a year of postgraduate studies at the John Paul II Pontifical Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, Dr. Miller began work on a doctorate in Catholic Social Doctrine at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross. During this time, she also worked as assistant to Msgr. Martin Schlag, consultor to the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and as the Directress of Studies at the Markets, Culture and Ethics Research Centre, an interdisciplinary research center between philosophy, theology, and economics that seeks to encourage and promote the virtuous culture necessary for an ethical economic system. Her STD was completed in 2013, with a thesis critiquing and reformulating Amartya Sen's capabilities approach in light of the principle of subsidiarity and the family.
Dr. Miller has previously taught moral theology at the Aquinas Institute in Lafayette, Louisiana and was involved in teaching at Christendom College's Rome Campus and at the Institute of Higher Religious Studies at the Apollinare (ISSRA), located at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross. She has taught and published both in English and in Italian. Dr. Miller believes that the moral life is best lived when it is understood as the call to holiness, to the beauty of the virtuous life in Christ directed towards beatitude, rather than as a system of exterior rules and obligations; she seeks to impart this understanding and this way of living the moral life to her students.

Why we tell stories
There are many reasons why we tell stories. Stories fascinate us all our lives. As children, we loved to be told fairy tales and to hear, time after time, the tales our parents told us about what we did and said when we were babies, as well as the stories about their own childhoods. As soon as we were old enough, we told stories about ourselves for our parents and for our friends.
As adults, we speak in stories at work, at family get-togethers, at class reunions, at town meetings, at the post office when we meet our neighbors. In fact, stories are such an important medium for us that even the numerous stories we tell and hear daily are not enough to satisfy our enormous appetites–we consume additional stories by reading novels, seeing movies, and watching dramas on television.

Our colleague Greg Crutsinger at Drone Scholars recently launched an initiative to mobilize the large network of amateur UAV enthusiasts for an exciting campaign called Fly4Fall.
Under the Fly4Fall campaign, amateur drone hobbyists across the globe are invited to take aerial 360 photos with their drone and contribute them to a collection of fall landscapes that will grow over time.
Never taken an aerial 360 photo before? Me either, but fortunately it recently got a whole lot easier with a free iOS app called Hangar 360. The Hangar app flies your DJI drone for you, climbing to the height you program and then taking about 25 photos in a circle at three different angles to the horizon. The whole thing takes about 2 minutes, and you can collect multiple panos per flight. You then land the drone (but don't turn it off just yet!), transfer the photos from the drone to your phone over the WiFi, and then upload the photos to Hangar. Hangar stitches the photos for you in the cloud (also free!), and sends you a link. The results are stunning! See the panoramic photo below of Kearny REC made by IGIS's Robert Johnson earlier this week.
Inspired by citizen science initiatives like the Christmas Bird Count and Project BudBurst, where large numbers of naturalists record observations in a coordinated way, Fly4Fall is part non-professional science project, part art, part community building, and a whole lot of fun. Crutsinger discussed some of the potential science angles in a recent LinkedIn post.
Full instructions can be found at Fly4Fall.com. Currently, the Hangar app only works on iOS, unfortunately, and only with DJI drones (but the list includes most of the popular ones). Android enthusiasts can check out Litchi, which includes similar functionality but costs $25 and you have to process the images on your own (look for tutorials online).
Of course like any drone flight you have the follow the rules - only fly in permitted areas, don't fly directly over people, and be safe!
We look forward to seeing the Fly4Fall panoramas coming in. Feel free to use the comment box below to share your experiences and thoughts!

Hot on the heels of a very successful three-day DroneCamp workshop, IGIS has launched a new email list for people interested in using drones for mapping and data collection.
Drone Mapping California is a moderated email list intended to share news, information, and questions about using drones for mapping and data collection. That covers a lot - technology, training, regulations, hardware, software, analytical techniques, etc. We hope this list will be a channel through which new and seasoned drone operators and researchers can share and grow their knowledge and expertise.
The list has a California focus, but all are welcome. If you are interested in collecting data with drones, please subscribe here! IGIS will administer the list for the foreseeable future, including moderating messages to prevent spam, but we are always open to comments and suggestions.

A FAA remote pilot license is required to fly drones legally for any non-recreational purpose (which includes basically everything we use drones for in ANR and UC). The 'hard' part of obtaining your drone pilot certificate is passing a 60 question FAA Airman General Knowledge exam, which covers a broad range of topics related to the safe and legal operation of drones in the national airspace. Our efforts to get certified were propelled forward by an excellent FAA exam prep-class offered in early March by UC Merced Extension, and taught by Andreas Anderson, a long-term pilot and graduate of the UC Merced MESA lab.
Our programmatic goal in getting more certified drone pilots is to help serve the growing demand for drone services in the Division, including both flying missions and training. Flying safely and legally however is only the start. Using drones effectively as data collection platforms for research and extension takes a host of other skills and knowledge, including mission planning, flight operations, using the equipment, data management, and select principles of photogrammetry and remote sensing. This is why we encourage everyone in ANR interested in using UAVs for their research or extension programs to attend one of our Drone workshops, such as the upcoming workshops at Kearney REC (April 13-14), UC Berkeley (Apr 2 ), Quincy (June 7-8), or our three-day Dronecamp at the end of July (application deadline April 15, 2017). Need some inspiration how drones might be useful in your work? Check out the current issue of Cal Ag which features a number of applications of drone science for agriculture and natural resources.

It was the last day of November, a clear but cool day, a patchwork of light and shadow. The autumn browns and yellows of the few leaves left on trees glittered in the bright sunshine; long shadows dominated where the sun could not reach. We took the short cut to the Town centre down a steep passage known locally as Leper's Lane. The narrow path with its high stone walls is said to have been a route taken by lepers from the long-demolished leper hospital on Maudlin Road.
In wet weather this enclosed path can be alarmingly slippery but today it is dry and we safely navigate to a more open area which is the confluence of three of these walled paths. Here there is also a sunken wet space where water sources spill their contents through three makeshift spouts each in to its own granite trough. This is the Leechwell and the three troughs are called Toad, Long Crippler (a local term for slow worms) and Snake.
Legend has it that the Leechwell water was used in the past for healing, especially for skin complaints and eye diseases.
Totnes has, for many years, been a place where people of different persuasions gathered and the Leechwell now has a special feeling for the New Age population. They decorate it with flowers, ribbons, feathers and sometimes mirrors. The decorations change but we never see who does it; others take the water for drinking. The three outflows respond to the prevailing weather and I have seen them running freely after heavy rain and almost dry in a good summer.
As we reached the Leechwell, I noticed flickering movement in one corner of the watery area. It was something very small and from its behaviour it had to be a bird. I guessed it was a Wren, but that idea was proven wrong when I noticed the bright yellow flash on its head. The bird moved about constantly, fluttering its wings rapidly, rising and falling and occasionally hovering. Sometimes it took a quick drink, sometimes it pecked at an insect. Finally, it took a bath, resting in the water fanning its wings. It seemed entirely unconcerned by us or our quiet commentary.
I have seen these birds before, but not this close or for so long. They usually emit a repeated short squeak like a rusty hinge although this one was silent perhaps because it was alone. We were just a few feet away and could see many of the distinguishing features: white wing bars, the bright yellow flash, the absence of a white strip above the eye; this was a Goldcrest, the UK's smallest bird. I couldn't help marvelling at the beauty of this small creature.
Seeing the Goldcrest that morning was completely unexpected and it lifted my mood. We could have stayed longer but we decided to leave the bird to its feeding and cleaning. I am only sorry I did not have my camera.

Author's note: this was originally written for a Live Journal audience. Small edits have been made for clarification, and to remove LJ-specific content
I hate seeing stories where the author ignores or whitewashes characters' acknowledged canon emotions. It pulls me right out of the story. It's not like developing an attachment for someone new means that the old attachment wasn't true, or real. As Edna St. Vincent Millay said "After all, my erstwhile dear, my no longer cherished, need we say it was not love, just because it perished?"
In the case of Buffy and Angel, it didn't perish, it's just been unworkable for quite some time, for various reasons. Negating the attachment and the very real feelings there cheapens the new attachment, because if you the writer go with the theory that the old love wasn't "real", then what's to make me believe as the reader that the new one is, either? Love doesn't work like that.
If you're going to write pairings beyond PWP, be true to the characters (I'm not saying don't be true to them in PWP, just that it's less of an issue there). Don't write Gunn as if he never loved Fred, just because you're hooking him up with Lorne. Now, you don't have to mention Fred, but if you do, don't negate the feelings that were there.
Hook Willow or Tara or Anya or Mr. Gordo up with Spike, but don't (depending on when you're setting it) negate or devalue Willow's feelings for Xander or Oz or Tara (or, I say through gritted teeth, Kennedy), Tara's feelings for Willow, Anya's for Xander, or Spike's for Dru or Buffy (depending, again, on when you're setting it. If you're writing a S2 or 3 Spike/Willow, and it's not wildly AU, Spike's not going to be mushy for Buffy, but he is going to have his Dru thing on).
To get more specific, using a common example:
If you're writing Spike/Buffy, and you feel the need to talk about Angel, don't fall prey to cliche. Because the "Oh, manly hero! I now realize my love for my departed other manly hero was an illusion, and your wonder cock has lifted the veil!" shtick is hackneyed and eye-roll inducing* in any kind of fiction. Same is true if you do the reverse after S7; this isn't a dig at writing Spike/Buffy, they're just a good example to use, because it's a popular pairing where you have previous and deep established canon relationships with others (especially with Buffy, because the soul issue alters the interpretation of the Dru relationship on the show itself) with enough writers that, as a reader, I find myself running into that particular cliche on a regular basis. Anything said about them could probably be said about any other pairing where one character has loved a different character if you tweak the specifics a little.
I don't care if you-the-writer don't like Angel. You-the-writer is not Buffy the character. She loved him. Part of her still loves him. He's an important part of her life, and even if she never sees or speaks to him again, he always will be. Deal. Does that mean she can never love anyone else? Of course not. (Side note on where I stand with regards to Buffy's feelings for Spike: I think during S6, part of her was a little in love with him, which isn't actually a positive thing, because she didn't love him, or herself for that matter, and nothing could have come of it. I think during S7, she grew to love him, but that she wasn't ever quite certain if it was romantic/sexual love or friend/comrade love, because she's still young enough to conflate sex and romantic love, and their sexual relationship is still fairly fresh in her mind. Oh, and they totally did it in the fade-to-black scene in Chosen.)
I've digressed. If you've known me for a while, you know this is not a new thing. Anyhow, back to my point. Of course she can still fall in love with someone else. Your job, as a writer, is to make me-the-reader believe it. And you can't do that with poor characterization.
It's poor characterization to have Buffy say "I never loved Angel as much as I love you. I see now that it was all a child's viewpoint of romance." It's poor characterization to have Buffy say negative things about Angel just because you the writer feel negative things about Angel and want to drive home that she REALLY REALLY REALLY loves Spike now. Again: writer != character. (Anyhow, if you have to have negative things said about Angel, Spike's your logical mouthpiece.) If you want to sell me on your pairing, you have to make it plausible, and by plausible, I mean I need to be able to recognize the characters, and a large part of that recognition relies on the characters' emotional histories, so don't rewrite those just because it suits you.
* This doesn't mean that a character cannot recognize that some emotional reactions/relationships were less deep than they'd presumed at the time. Xander, for example, can go right ahead and reflect on the sweetness of his Cordy relationship while thinking how different that was from what he feels for Anya, or Spike, or Clem, or whoever he's fallen in love with, not that I think he'd do the reflecting. What it means is that if the previous relationship was presented as deep and meaningful to the character even long after it ended, you don't go and make it not meaningful in your story.
