Another lost treasure to Willapa Bay, the Willapa Bay Lighthouse, situated on what is North Cove (Washaway Beach) where land mass tumbles into the Pacific Ocean. The Willapa Bay Lighthouse was lost in this way – depicted in historical photos below from WLA Photo Gallery
Willapa Bay Lighthouse-Originally known as the Shoalwater Bay Lighthouse. A fourth-order Fresnel lens provided the light's beacon when it went into operation on October 1, 1858. "Twelve miles south of the Grays Harbor Lighthouse, the Willapa Bay Lighthouse once marked the northern side of Willapa Bay. Built in 1858, the lighthouse operated for over 80 years until it was undercut by the sea and tumbled into the bay in December of 1940.
Several replacement towers have served to mark the bay, each one being placed ever farther north and east of the original lighthouse. Much of the city of North Cove has also tumbled into the sea…The last tower, which stood three-fourths of a mile from the site of the original lighthouse, apparently succumbed to erosion in the 1990s."

Willapa Bay display-Westport Maritime Museum. June 2004. (click on image to enlarge). "In 1939, the lighthouse was declared unsafe and abandoned. On December 26, 1940, the lighthouse met its demise. It had been precariously hanging over the side of the bluff, looking as though it might topple at any second. The Coast Guard decided it was endangering the many sightseers who swarmed to get a last glimpse of the light. One wall had already collapsed.
First, they washed away the remaining sand from the west side of the structure and then set off a charge of dynamite which toppled the lighthouse over the brink, ending another part of U.S. Lighthouse history. The lighthouse was once accompanied by the nearby Shoalwater Bay Lifesaving Station. In 1889, the federal government decided to change the name from Shoalwater to Willapa to rightfully honor the tribe of Indians who had inhabited the land for centuries."

Over the past four years, seven people have been killed and many more injured while crossing the Morne Coco Road and Four Roads intersection of the Diego Martin Highway.
Residents, most of them elderly, say they are fearful of being killed or injured while crossing the road and are calling for construction to begin on the promised walkover.
The walkover, a project of the National Infrastructure Development Company (Nidco), was scheduled to start from April 2017 to December 2017. However, there are no signs that construction will be commencing any time soon.
Yesterday, a group of residents, supported by the political leader of the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) David Abdulah, gathered to highlight the issue. The latest fatality took place on December 7, 2017, when 64-yearold Etta Reid, of Powder Magazine, was knocked down and killed while attempting to cross the road. That incident occurred at about 5.15 am.
Reid's close friend, Margaret Bernard, 65, said she along with other residents in the area are "desperate" for a walkover to be constructed.
Another resident, Everton Bryan Roberts, 63, said they only attend meetings and are given "a lot of runaround."
He said on Saturday, at about 1 am, a vehicle ran off the highway and ended up on one of the islands of the intersection. He said the elderly residents are mostly affected because they cannot run across fast enough when the intersection's countdown starts.
"How many more must die?" Roberts asked. Resident Roland Monderoy told Guardian Media his 14-year-old nephew, Elijah Samuel survived when he was knocked down while crossing the highway. "He suffered a broken hand and bruises and was hospitalised for a while and nothing came out of that incident up to this day.
No justice. The authorities just mamaguying us right through. We want this walkover now and we are sure the people will use it."
In an immediate response, Minister of Works and Transport, Rohan Sinanan said he has no doubt that the project will be starting soon as it is far advanced in design and the tender documents are being drafted.
He however, admitted that the delay for the start of the construction was caused by some residents who claimed that they did not want the footings of the walkover to be on the HDC's compound.
A statement issued by the Ministry yesterday said the construction of the overpass across the Diego Martin Highway has been included as part of its programme of works for fiscal 2018/2019.

There's not much to be said about this one. I have too much mint in our garden, I love bacon, and my daughter wont fight me when I place asparagus in front of her…so naturally, I made these bacon and mint wrapped asparagus!
large mint leaves
I'm not putting in amounts here because they'll depend on the amount of asparagus you have.
If you have 10 asparagus, you'll need 5 slices of bacon (and then you'll cut those slices in half) and 10 pieces of mint. Cradle the asparagus in the mint leaf, then wrap them together with the bacon.
Sprinkle salt/pepper to taste, stick them on a baking sheet lined with tin foil, and bake in a 425 degree oven for 15 – 20 minutes. Take out of oven, place asparagus on paper towels to drain fat. YUM.

(NaturalNews) "My veterinarian made me do it! I love my veterinarian so much, that I do exactly what he/she tells me to do. I hear all the alternative practitioners warning about the potential side effects and how vaccination is not a simple thing but is a true medical procedure with risks and benefits just like all medical procedures. But I'm scared because I've heard that it can have dangerous, life threatening consequences, not just for my pets but for my kids and me, too. I'm just so afraid not to get those booster shots, that I get the reminders for in the mail, all the time. It seems all we ever get are scare tactics thrown at us if we raise any objections to these vaccines. We're just told about how risky and unconscionable it is to NOT vaccinate. The ultimate blow being when my vet tells me, I won't be able to bring my pet back to the clinic unless I vaccinate and boost regularly. What if I have an emergency, then what?"
Sound familiar? What are we supposed to do in the face of such tactics? For those of us who dare to recommend caution about vaccination, especially annual boosters and/or even the appropriate time an initial puppy or kitten series is administered, you'd think we were turning our backs on mom and her apple pie!
How did this procedure become so embedded as being a good thing in our subconscious minds and consequently, how did we allow this fear programming to work so effectively? It's really easy, as it's been packaged and sold to us, like everything else we buy, and it's one of Madison Avenue's greatest advertising campaigns, ever. That is why people line themselves, their kids, and their pets up to receive them, like cattle.
Dr. Mark Sircus writes passionately, "The
controversy seems to be a never-ending one. It is obvious from how pediatricians write that they are 100 percent sure that they are absolutely and undeniably right. If one studies the question hard enough it becomes evident that they are terribly wrong. To test that, all you have to do is present some hard evidence to your pediatrician and see how hard he or she hits the ceiling or bounces up against a wall. Confronting an oncologist or a pediatrician with solid information against something they adamantly promote immediately dissolves their smiles and empathetic nods, and they get downright mean. Their dark side surfaces and you can see they are not to be trusted with your children's lives."
We certainly know that this is true of most (but not all) veterinarians, as well. However, having said that, in veterinary medicine as opposed to pediatrics, there has been a universal shift to fewer vaccinations in
as advocated by veterinary organizations such as AAHA, AAFP, and U.S. veterinary schools.
It is important to mention that one must be cautious when going to a new veterinarian (especially for an emergency) whose vaccine policy is not known by you. Their belief system can be so profound, that once your pet is taken from your control, you want to be assured that a vaccine is not given automatically. Often times, the first thing a new vet will do with a pet whose vaccination history is unknown is simply vaccinate your sick or injured pet straight away, and you will not learn of this until you see your bill! Make it clear in your chart, that this is not the time to vaccinate your pet, just as it states in the vaccine inserts. Also, make it clear that you do not want topical flea products administered without your permission at this critical time either.
OK, you have researched the risks, your eyes are wide open, now what? Your vet or doctor is either about to vaccinate, or you've made the appointment to do it, or they did it and you just found out they did, and you want to know what you can do NOW to prevent your pet, your child or yourself from having negative reactions!
For most pets, in most states, the rabies vaccine is a legal requirement. Airlines demand it. There is not much you can do about that. There are similar requirements for a variety of
for children entering school. Or if you have immigrated to the USA from another country, it is now mandated that you must have vaccines for legal purposes, such as green card, etc. (Note: You can request titer blood tests and some doctors and veterinarians are receptive today to this idea.)
Here are some suggestions on how to prevent the potentially deadly adverse effects from injectable vaccines, as well as intra-nasal. Please be aware that vaccine reactions often do not happen immediately. Plan ahead, if you can and be prepared! These precautions can be used for people and pets but do clear their use with your doctor or veterinarian who will, hopefully, be open to alternative treatments. If he or she is not, consider making a switch to someone who is. Remember, your doctor or veterinarian works for you. They are not God! This is a personal service contract, and you have every right to go elsewhere until you find someone whose knowledge and experience is a "fit" with your own.
The following is not intended as medical or veterinary advice but strictly offered for informational purposes:
One hour before vaccination: Take yourself or administer to your child or pet a dose of a powerful Omega 3 supplement, preferably one that is from an alternative source of marine lipids, to fish
, such as New Zealand, greenlip mussel oil. This bi-valve mollusk is known to be a rich source of 33 essential fatty acids; 18 of which are Omega 3. The best scenario would be an Omega 3, marine lipid, that is cold-extracted and certified to be free of mercury and pollutants. If the product contains antioxidants with a high ORAC value, and/or is used as its natural preservative, all the better.?Sources for quality greenlip mussel supplements are available online.
Continue with the Omega 3, marine lipid, supplementation regularly to prevent inflammatory flare ups, which may occur at any time.?
Take a dose of additional antioxidants, such as curcumin and quercetin in particular, because they have been found to block the ability of vaccine adjuvants to trigger a long-term immune reaction.
Immediately before vaccination (or as close as possible): Take a calcium supplement. It needs to contact the mucous membranes of the mouth, so hold it under your tongue or give to pets by mouth; even a tiny bit of a calcium tablet will work.
After an injectable vaccination: Apply a cold or ice pack to the injection site. This will inhibit blood flow to the area and keep the vaccine ingredients from spreading into the blood and surrounding tissues. This is especially important for vaccines that contain adjuvants. Take your own pack with you, as the nurse or doctor will look at you as if you are insane, and we want it applied immediately.
Take a dose of homeopathic Thuja Occidentalis 30C, immediately after vaccination (or at least within 2 hours), and then every 12 hours for a total of 3 doses (more is not necessary and may negate the benefits). Homeopathy is able to head off many adverse vaccine effects, including those that may appear months or many years later. Thuja is available at health food stores that carry homeopathic remedies, compounding pharmacies, and several excellent homeopathic sources can be found online.
Additionally, board-certified neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell Blaylock, discussed his list of suggestions on "How to Reduce the Toxic Effects of the Influenza A/H1N1 Vaccine." These excellent suggestions apply to any vaccine, and most could also be used for pets, with dosing based on their weight as a percentage of 150 pounds (the "average human" weight).
Dr. Blaylock recommends, in addition to what is suggested above, the following: Again, Omega 3 marine lipids and high ORAC value antioxidants are critically important, as are the flavonoids-- namely curcumin, quercetin, ferulic acid and ellagic acid, particularly in a mixture-- thought to be excellent choices to prevent vaccine reactions. The curcumin and quercetin in particular have been found to block the ability of the adjuvants to trigger a long-term immune reaction. If you take it an hour before the vaccination, it should help dampen the immune reactions, suggests Dr. Blaylock.
Vitamin E, in a natural form that is high in gamma-E, may help dampen the immune reactions and may also reduce several of the inflammatory cytokines. (Note: Kiwifruit seed oil is an excellent source of all the natural forms of vitamin E and is second only to avocado oil. However, dogs and cats have been discovered to be allergic to avocado and, therefore, avocado oil is not recommended for pets.)
An important ingredient on the list is Vitamin C, at a dose of 1000 mg., taken four times a day between meals. It is a very potent anti-inflammatory and should be taken in a buffered form, not as ascorbic acid, suggests Dr. Blaylock. If your pet experiences diarrhea, cut back on the dose to bowel tolerance or begin at a dose your veterinarian recommends.
Astaxanthin, may be helpful, as it is an anti-inflammatory. According to Dr. Blaylock, fatal reactions to vaccines in aboriginal and African children occurred in those who were deficient in carotinoids, like
. It may be good protection against the toxic effects of vaccines. Likewise, it was found that children who were deficient in zinc had a high mortality rate.
Zinc may be protective against vaccine toxicity. (Do not use zinc mixed with copper, however, as copper is a major trigger of free-radical generation, according to Dr. Blaylock).
Insure that you avoid all immune-stimulating supplements, such as mushroom extracts, whey protein and beta-glucan.
Take a whole food, organic, excipient-free, source of multivitamins and minerals daily; one that does not contain added iron. This multivitamin-mineral suggestion is made in order to ensure that your body, or that of your pet's body, has plenty of B vitamins and selenium. Selenium, according to Dr. Blaylock, is very important for fighting viral infections, and it may reduce the inflammatory response to vaccines.
Magnesium citrate/malate (500 mg. of elemental magnesium) two capsules, three times a day. Check dose with your veterinarian prior to administration. (Note: Magnesium chloride, bath flakes, gels, lotions and oils are excellent topical choices, for people and pets. The bath flakes, however, make the most sense for pets, but various suppliers that offer these products can assist with pet dosages)
Additionally, Vitamin D3 is very important for people, which is the only 'vitamin' the body can manufacture from sunlight (UVB). It is a neural hormone, not really a vitamin, states Dr. Blaylock, and helps if you are over-reacting immunologically, by cooling down the reaction. Similarly, if you are under-reacting, it may help to boost your immune response. In addition, it also protects against microorganism invasion. Vitamin D3 cannot be synthesized by pets; their skin does not make the conversion. A short course of extra Vitamin D3 for pets is generally regarded to be safe, but, because it can be extremely toxic in overdose, use caution and consult with a veterinarian, well-versed in clinical nutrition. This is sage advice before making any changes in your pet's routine. (Note: People and pets from colder climates are particularly deficient in Vitamin D3, so they will almost certainly require supplementation. Simple blood tests will afford accuracy in dosing.)
Dr. Blaylock recommends, that following vaccination, it will help to keep the immune reaction under control if: Children get 5,000 units of Vitamin D3 per day for two weeks after the vaccine and then 2,000 units per day thereafter; Adults get 20,000 units of Vitamin D3 per day, after the vaccine for two weeks, then 10,000 units a day thereafter; And with that, adults should take 500-1000 mg. of calcium per day and children under the age of 12 years should take 250 mg. a day, as Vitamin D3 works more efficiently in the presence of calcium.
Please consult with your own health practitioner before embarking on these or any other changes to your own regime, or that of your children, or your pets. Every individual is unique, and should be treated accordingly by their own medical and/or veterinary practitioner. Medicine for people and/or pets should never be one size fits all!
Do, insure that you avoid all mercury-containing seafood or any other sources of mercury, as this heavy metal is a very powerful inducer of autoimmunity, and is known to make people more susceptible to viral infections. Mercury has been found in many vaccines.
For pets, avoid tuna, salmon, and other predatory, carnivore
and fish oils from these sources. One does not know the age of the fish when they are caught and because the older the fish, the more mercury it is likely to contain.
Many, feel comfortable with molecular distillation of fish oils, insofar as they think the heavy metals and toxins have been removed by this high heat, process, but quantum physicians and homeopaths know that the original essence or "memory" of those metals and pollutants, cannot be boiled away and are still "imprinted" in the oily substance that remains. Also, the true value of the marine lipid is lost in this high heat process. The remaining Omega 3 values, for the two that survive, namely EPA and DHA, have been artificially raised in the process. It might be fair to say that the higher mg. values, reported by fish oil supplement makers, are not necessarily better. This is not the way they occur in cold water fish, when they are raw.
There are also provocative ecological and environmental reasons to avoid menhaden fish and krill oil supplements. From a health standpoint alone, if one only considers the exhaust from the fishing boats trolling the waterways, which damages and pollutes the lungs of these small fish, such as smog effects our own, it might be prudent to not ingest these fish or their oil, as well.
Be sure, at all costs, to avoid those oils that significantly suppress immunity and increase inflammation - such as corn, safflower, sunflower, soybean, canola and peanut oils. These oils are extremely high in omega 6 and are, therefore, pro-inflammatory.
Drink very concentrated white tea at least four times a day. In fact, all tea is antioxidant-- green, black, and red. Tea helps to prevent abnormal immune reactions. (but do not offer this to your pets! It would be way too stimulating for them. Although, Chamomile , when diluted, is enjoyed by some cats.
Do consider mixing some organic parsley and celery in a blender with a little purified water, blend, strain, and drink 8 ounces of this mixture twice a day. Dr. Blaylock suggests that parsley is very high in a flavonoid called apigenin and that celery is high in luteolin. Both are very potent in inhibiting autoimmune diseases, particularly the apigenin, so go ahead and plant some parsley in your garden now and grow some organic catnip for your indoor cats. You might even try wheat or barley grass for your indoor cats and dogs, too!
Do keep a positive mind set about the informed choices you make for yourself, your children, and your pets.

The vivid color of the Eastern Red Columbine flower immediately caught my eye as I walked down a familiar forest path. I had never seen this beautiful flower before and feel blessed to have made its acquaintance. Aquilegia, the flower's genus name (Aquilegia canadensis), refers to the red petals that resemble the shape of an eagle's talons. It seemed a most fitting choice for this week's Weekly Photo Challenge: Vivid from The Daily Post.

Is Lindsey Vonn dating Tim Tebow?
First Lindsey Vonn says she and her husband are getting a divorce. Then, she pays tribute to Tim Tebow by copying his prayerful pose after a recent World Cup win. Then she is spotted watching the Denver Broncos game Sunday from Tebow's private box. This led to some speculation that the two are an item.
Vonn says no. On her Twitter account she wrote:
"Hearing a lot of crazy rumors but rest assured I am NOT dating Tim Tebow (or anyone else). I'm just friends with his family. xo, LV"
Can you just imagine how insane the hype around Tebow would have been if he had been dating Vonn? Take what it is now, then multiply it by 10. The next thing you know people will be writing about people Tebow might possibly be dating. Oh, wait.......
As Vonn told the Denver Post:
"I pretty much know their whole family now. They're great people. It's pretty awesome to be able to hang out with them — and to be able to witness the amazing things Tim and the Broncos can do."
It's Tim Tebow's world, and we are just living in it.

We see evidence of this every day on the news, since school shooting has had an upscale occurrence these last few years. Due to this, the security in schools has become much more strict. To see this play out, simply take a look at Lake Park High School.
When Lancers arrived at school after summer break, there were many distinct changes security-wise. Even upon the students' arrival, they were met with one of the security updates, as they were directed to walk in through the doors that lead into the cubed room in the lobby instead of through the side doors.
"Like airports and other secure facilities, the best practice is to have all building occupants enter and exit through a secure area," said Safety and Security Coordinator Timothy Cook. " A single point of entry that is monitored by security is the best way the district can ensure the safety of all occupants of the buildings."
Cook himself reflects another change at Lake Park. His position is a new one, and he is responsible for overseeing issues affecting the safety and security of students, staff and campus visitors. This includes physical security like door locks and camera maintenance, as well as planning and preparation.
Lake Park also now has evening and weekend security staff monitoring hallways and entrances, as well as two monitors for all lunch periods and improved and additional security cameras.
Not only has the school made change with the door system but also other safety precautions have been put in place. This includes but is not limited to the application of window hardening film to all interior and exterior windows and new/additional camera system that has been installed to replace the outdated hardware that the school previously used.
"The visitors have to come through the cube entrance for safety precautions," said Herbert Rodriguez, security guard."It's the first step in our safety process in the school."
As the school reinitiates older rules that need to be practiced more and implement new rules that keep our school safe, the student body needs to remember to do our part in helping our community and school safety.One of biggest thing that the school asks of students is to make sure their school is secured at all times and that no outside person is let into the building.
With this and the other rules that are being implemented into the school, Lake Park is ensuring what it can for a safe and happy school year.

Every little on the market appears a quasi-revolutionary mascara. As much as a positive choice, the fact is that buying mascara is nightmare. Because of so much mascara, it is really impossible to opt for some. And even if you find one that you really good, probably pulled it from the market just when you need a new one. Like all good products and perfect shades! However new mascara which was recently launched Sephora indeed our attention is attracted. If anything, its performance really jumps out of the sea 'revolutionary' mascara that promise a million times greater volume and 10 inches long eyelashes.
Sephora Upside Down mascara distinguished by not one, but two brushes. The point is that the lashes literally grab in the sandwich between two brushes and pull them and evenly emphasize every hair from root to tip, with the upper and lower sides. Because this mascara lashes taken from the all angles, even truly we believe that there is a possibility that the same maximum highlights lashes and thoroughly filled them.
However almost every product has a defect, and so this mascara. And we are quite sure that its defect is not an issue (no) experience. The problem is that it is impossible to apply it properly because it will top brush, whatever turned, guaranteed to stain the lid. Because it is inevitable that it touches. So you have to get involved in the story sticks for the ears and cleansing milk, which means you'll ruin all the effort you have put into applying eyeshadow. Try it, you might just fits like this mascara.

Sinabung update: evacuees returning to their homes 31 August 2010Posted by admin in activity reports, eruptions, Indonesia, Sinabung.
There have been no reports of further eruptive activity at Mount Sinabung in Sumatra following the eruptions of 29 and 30 August. Many of the 30,000 villagers evacuated from the environs of the volcano have been returning to their homes despite warnings from Indonesian volcanologists that it is too early to say that the situation is safe: 'Our instruments have recorded continuous tremors in the volcano, which means that there is magma pushing upward', says government volcanologist Agus Budianto, 'We think there's still a possibility that it will erupt again'. Ashfall from Sinabung has damaged crops, threatening the livelihoods of local farmers.
Meanwhile there are warning from both the Indonesian Government and relief agencies that living conditions for the evacuated people who remain in the temporary shelters are very poor, with bedding and breathing masks in short supply and the danger of disease spreading in the overcrowded accommodation.
The NASA Earth Observatory has a satellite view of Sinabung and surrounding area from 19 May 2003, which shows the intensive cultivation of the region around this volcano.

If the 76ers slip to fourth behind Cleveland in the East, they could get top-seeded Toronto in the second round, a potentially much tougher matchup considering the Raptors have won 25 of their last 31 games."We have a real opportunity that we don't want to let slip," Brown said. "We can control our own destiny. We're not a prisoner to other people's events. That, in and of itself, is rare and not to be taken for granted."Of course, the way the Sixers are playing , they have no reason to fear anyone. They're the only team in the East hotter than the Raptors, having won 26 of their last 31 games.What makes it even more amazing: Philadelphia kept right on winning after losing young All-Star Joel Embiid , who is expected to miss at least the first couple of weeks of the playoffs after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured orbital bone around his left eye.ADVERTISEMENT Nadine Lustre's phone stolen in Brazil P16.5-M worth of aid provided for Taal Volcano eruption victims — NDRRMC LATEST STORIES Judy Ann's 1st project for 2020 is giving her a 'stomachache' MOST READ Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard PLAY LIST 02:14Carpio hits red carpet treatment for China Coast Guard02:56NCRPO pledges to donate P3.5 million to victims of Taal eruption00:56Heavy rain brings some relief in Australia02:37Calm moments allow Taal folks some respite03:23Negosyo sa Tagaytay City, bagsak sa pag-aalboroto ng Bulkang Taal01:13Christian Standhardinger wins PBA Best Player award A franchise with a long, proud history just added another chapter.Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Philadelphia 76ers guard JJ Redick (17) motions toward referee Jason Phillips, right, after getting a technical foul during the first half of an NBA basketball game Tuesday, April 10, 2018, in Atlanta.

Ersan Ilyasova scored 26 points off the bench. Marco Belinelli added 20. Together, they hit nine 3-pointers.JJ Redick led the way with 28 points, knocking down 6 of 9 beyond the arc . That allowed Philadelphia to extend its winning streak even on a day when rookie star Ben Simmons missed the morning shootaround because of a stomach bug, and looked a bit out of sorts during the game. He did finish with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists before fouling out in the closing seconds.Simmons can't wait for the regular-season finale against the Bucks, a possible preview of the opening-round playoff series."It's going to be a packed house against a great team in the East," he said. "I think the way we're playing right now, we have a little momentum."That's a bit of an understatement.For a few hours, at least, the Sixers could savor something this team has never done.Win 15 games in a row."I think it's very significant," Redick said, "if you look at the history of the franchise."

text: Hi, I have a Pandigital Black 7" Colour Multimedia eReader using Terninater's firmware and an external 2 gig sd card I'm using it to watch mp4 movies at 720x480. Lately its been having trouble reading the movies. Sometimes it wont see them and gives me an error with the choice "wait for response" or "cancel". If I cancel and click on a video it says "Cannot play video". If I go into settings and safely uninstall then reinstall (take out then put back in) the card, then go to Es File Reader, then chose refresh the reader says "Cashe data was deleted successfully". Then I go to play a movie (mp4 720x480), it will play well for a few minutes then the picture will freeze and play the video behind that froze frame, but the sound keep going. A few seconds later (around 10) it fixes itself and plays the movie normally. This happens on most of my movies. So: 1. Does the sd memory card have a finite number of times it can be written to? 2. If it does, will reformatting the card fix it? 3. Do I need to leave a certain amount of free space open for the card to use as swap memory, like a hard drive? (swap memory was the best definition I could think of) 4. Should I switch to a 640x480 video size instead of the 720x480? *edit* Just tried reformating the external sd card,(with the pandigital's format option) and the videos still messing up

I have this perverse attitude that I don't want to do something long, but then do two or more short things that take up more time than the long thing would have. In specific, I almost never sit down to watch two-part episodes of the modern Doctor Who. I don't have this problem with the classic series, maybe because they're four- to six-part serials of 25 minutes per part, so I don't mind watching a couple and then, if I feel like it, go do something else and watch the rest the next day. But for some reason, modern stories with two 45-minute parts are daunting to me. I don't have a problem watching "Human Nature" / "Family of Blood" any time it's suggested to me, probably because I love that episode to bits, but any other two-parter elicits a groan from me, and instead, I sit down to watch a single episode. Then another. And often another. And then kick myself that I didn't just sit down and watch the two-parter.
Because of this, I actually haven't seen most of the two-part episodes more than three or four times (and I know I've only seen the three-part "Utopia" / "The Sound of Drums" / "The Last of the Time Lords" twice, even though I love it to death). I didn't really realize this until I sat down to watch "The Stolen Earth" / "Journey's End" this week. As we got to the scene were the Doctor suppresses Donna's memories, I realized that the fanfic I had written that referred to that scene was written in February, and I hadn't seen the episode since. That means it's been at least nine months since I've seen one of my favorite episodes, and it's all because for some reason, I won't start two-part episodes. That's just crazy.
Be that as it may, I thoroughly enjoyed watching TSE/JE for the first time in a very long time, and it amazed me how much subtext was written into it. Maybe it's because I'm writing my own stories, but for some reason, I'm starting to see a lot more subtlety in the RTD-era episodes than I have before. (I have no idea how much subtlety the Moffat-era episodes have. I like to think that Moffat is not a subtle writer, but I'm perfectly willing to admit that I know and understand his seasons a lot less well than I know the RTD seasons.) Everything that happens in TSE/JE was written to highlight Davros' reveal of the "Doctor's soul."
All of the Tenth Doctor's companions return in this episode. Jack, of course, is part of Torchwood. Martha is part of UNIT, and she goes to prepare the Osterhagen Key. Sarah Jane goes to the Crucible armed with a Warp Star. Most tellingly, Rose comes to find the Doctor armed with the biggest gun in the show, and Mickey and Jackie, who follow her, are also armed similarly. She even pauses in her search to threaten some petty looters with it. Remember that the three came from Pete's World, where the stars were going out, and they had no idea what was causing it, and though the Doctor always tried to teach them non-violence, they came armed with weapons mighty enough to kill Daleks in one shot. Jack, Martha, and Sarah Jane knew what they were up against, so they at least have a reason to feel that violence was warranted; Rose had no such excuse. She's the prime example of the character who the Doctor molded into a soldier, and this might very much be why the Doctor chose to place her back in Pete's World.
(This is a common argument. Not only was Rose very much a soldier when she returned, but she had already been building the dimension cannon to break down the walls between the universes when they started seeing the stars going out. She knew that the cannon would start breaking down the universes, but still chose to do so just to return to the Doctor. Discounting the at least two years he had to move on from her, this character development, towards violence and irresponsibility, could have soured him against her.)
Interestingly, the one person who didn't follow the Doctor, and the one person who he has condemned for violence, Harriet Jones, is the only true pacifist here. I've written before what a magnificent character she is, and this is one of her shining moments. In "The Christmas Invasion," the Tenth Doctor's very first full episode, she disagreed with the Doctor about what was right for the defense of planet Earth. Both of them were right: the Doctor sees things from a different view and wanted to protect the Sycorax as much as Earth, and did not like that they were shot in the back, while PM Jones knew that the Earth couldn't let itself rely on the Doctor to be there every time danger lurked. In TSE/JE, she stood by what she believed, but works for it not by raising an army or developing weapons, but by building a communications network to contact the Doctor when he was needed.
The soldier companions converge on the crucible, with Rose and the Doctor imprisoned, make their threats, and reveal the Doctor's soul, as described by Davros. This is what breaks him, and what makes him vow never to have another companion, which, of course, leads to his downfall in "The Waters of Mars." The problem, of course, is that the Doctor is far too willing to blame himself for everything, and even though the judgment passed on him is given by an enemy filled with hatred for him, who he knows is completely amoral, the Doctor still completely agrees with him. Interestingly, though, the most objective judgment comes from Harriet Jones, the one person in the entire story who can be called neutral: she neither follows the Doctor nor hates him. She tells Jack, "And you tell him from me, he chose his companions well." She sees that they are all brave and trying to do what's right, and that sometimes what's right requires violence, but they aren't needlessly violent. Sadly, Jack never passes on her message, something the Doctor needed to hear.
The only other non-violent character in the story is Donna. She gets infused by the metacrisis and is able to stop the Daleks, but that's the thing: she stops the Reality Bomb, confuses the Daleks' circuits, and defuses the energy generator by sending the planets home, but she never attacks anyone. She even tries to stop the Metacrisis Doctor from destroying the Daleks. And for her efforts, she's rewarded with a mind-wipe. Only the Doctor's soldiers survive this conflict. It's all very well-woven.
The conclusion of the story continues to reinforce the Doctor's problems. Sarah Jane tells him, "You know, you act like such a lonely man. But look at you. You've got the biggest family on Earth," and immediately runs off to her own family. Jack, Mickey, and Martha similarly leave, and of course, Rose, Jackie, and the Metacrisis Doctor stay in Pete's World. They all unconsciously reinforce to him that he's just a friend that they once knew but have moved on from, almost more like a co-worker from a job they left long ago. "Hey, it was great seeing you again. We did some great things together. Let's go out for drinks sometime." Of course, the Doctor contributes to his own problems by making decisions for everyone else like he always does – he forces Rose back to Pete's World, insists that the Metacrisis Doctor stay with her, and removes Donna's memories against her wishes – but in the end, everyone contributes to his eventual loneliness, feelings of inadequacy, and self-hatred.
Much of this is readily not apparent until you watch the episode two or three times, but it really is beautiful. There are a few quibbles with the narrative that are certainly justified, especially the rather deus-ex-machina-y ending with Donna suddenly beating Davros, but the deeper story is where it really is all at. Oh, and I have to mention that Dalek Caan is one of my favorites ever, with his manipulation of the events as he decreed, "No more!" His soothsayings were also very clever: the Dark Lord (oo, the Doctor as the Dark Lord, that's chilling), the Threefold Man, "The Doctor will be here as witness, at the end of everything," meaning, of course, the end of everything Dalek. In my opinion, while this episode isn't the best at straightforward plot, it really shines with theme and character development.

Provenance matters like never before. Legal regimes regulating the use of Geographical Indications (GIs) protect commercially valuable signs on products – such as Darjeeling and Champagne – which signal the link to their regions of origin. Such regimes have been controversial for over a century. A rich, interdisciplinary work of scholarship, this Research Handbook explores the reasons for and consequences of GIs existing as a distinct category within intellectual property (IP) law. Historians, geographers, sociologists, economists and anthropologists join IP specialists to explore the distinguishing feature of GIs, that certain products are distinctively linked or anchored to specific places.

Well, it's official. My passport is fresh back from the Korean consulate in Houston with a bright, shiny new visa on Page 8. This means that the only thing standing between me and teaching Korea's bright young minds is an ocean. And, believe you me, if you can survive ten months in rural exile and then navigate the complexities involved in acquiring an E-2 work visa from the Republic of Korea, the Pacific is a pushover. So, allow me to recount the tale for those of you who have not been so blessed as to personally experience it in this the first installment of "The Korea Kronicles." (I'll try to go easy on the k's, Tim.)
Although I wasn't hired to a full-time teaching position at the English camp until November 15 of last year, I started getting ready to go long before. That's an important thing to remember: once you've decided you want to teach abroad, regardless of where you want to go, start getting all the paperwork in order from the moment you decide you want to go. Many of the steps don't require you to have already signed a contract and by the time I was hired, I'd already gotten the ball rolling on the most time consuming aspects of getting a visa. And, even though I overshot my original planned departure date by a week, I probably wound up saving a substantial amount of time.
At any rate, along with the predictable forms one must fill out and sign (there's a visa application and a health statement), there's a lot of big, hairy, time-consuming things to acquire as well. The biggest thing anyone needs is a criminal background check from the FBI accompanied by an Apostille from the U.S. Department of State. Whoa, okay, so let's unpack that. A criminal background check (or CBC) is basically your rap sheet, or, if you haven't been convicted of any federal crimes or been arrested, it's just a purple sheet of paper stating that you don't have any criminal convictions or arrests. I'm not a criminal as it turns out–huge sigh of relief.
The CBC is what normally holds people up. You have to print a paper application, fill it out, and snail mail it along with a credit card payment form to an FBI office in Clarksburg, West Virginia. What is this, the 1950s? Oh, and I also had to get a copy of my fingerprints which involved me going to the Atoka County Jail and being led inside the cell block to have my prints taken using the scanner. So yeah, that was interesting (don't go to jail, kids). The other kicker is that once I got the CBC back in the mail–which takes, conservatively, five to six weeks–I had to turn around and snail mail that document to a third party agency in Washington, D.C., to have them physically walk it to the State Department and have the Apostille affixed. Why not mail it directly to the department? Well, because State has apparently been known to lose important documents from time to time and, as Sweet Brown would say, "Ain't nobody got time for that!"
Now, what's an Apostille?, you ask. It's a document that exists as a result of the 1961 Apostille convention, which establishes the procedure for a document issued in one country to be legally certified in all other countries signatory to the treaty. Otherwise, the United States Congress would have to pass resolutions certifying documents. Yikes! I'd never make it to Korea if that were the case.
Anyway, I had to do much the same thing with my college diploma. After taking it back to ORU and having the Registrar run it through the Xerox machine, they placed their own seal on the copy and notarized it. That copy was then mailed to the Oklahoma Secretary of State to have a state-level Apostille affixed. Basically, the Apostille on the diploma helps immigration authorities in foreign countries be confident the diploma is legit and not from a "diploma mill." It also removes the possibility of someone just making one up and printing it out from a Microsoft Word template. Bear in mind, universities work differently from country to country and cultural differences can sometimes make it hard for foreign officials to tell whether or not a diploma comes from a real school.
Once all of those documents made it back, everything was stuffed into a FedEx envelope and sent to the Office of International Affairs at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs (which collaborates on the English camp with Yeungjin College in Daegu). Those documents were then FedEx-ed to the English camp in Korea and taken to a local Immigration office.
And then, a snag. They always happen, it seems. Since I use a different version of my name for professional purposes (don't ask; it's a long, convoluted, and ultimately confusing story), I requested that version be printed on my diploma when it was issued by ORU last summer. Honestly, I'd planned to just have it legally changed by now but, you know, shit happens. Anyway, there was concern that Korean Immigration might think we were trying to pull a fast one on them by stealing the diploma of someone with a name that looks similar to my legal name. So, I had to request letters from officials at the university stating, in essence, that both my legal and professional names apply to me. It wasn't a big deal in the end, it was just an odd problem that I'd created for myself.
I did get my visa number soon after that, however, and I was finally able to send my passport to Houston to have it stamped. My departure date has been all but finalized and, barring anything completely unexpected, I will board a plane in Dallas on Sunday, February 24. Almost ten months after finishing school, I am finally exiting the purgatory of being stuck at home. When will I next grace the shores of these United States? God only knows. For now though, it appears that the dog days are, indeed, over. Now, without further ado, Florence is going to tell us about it…

Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière
A symbol of Lyon, la Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière looks over the city from Fourvière Hill (traditionally known as 'the hill that prays'). It was built in the 1890s and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, a golden statue of whom sits atop the belltower. I think it's gorgeous, but I have read that it has been referred to as an upside down elephant.
There's actually two churches within the basilique, the top one is all sparkly and ornate with brilliant mosaics, whilst the lower is much more plain and simple, with little shrines dedicated to Mary around the walls.
There's an English mass there, once a month; and the Lord's Prayer is displayed around the stircase to the lower sanctuary in many different languages. There's also a tour in which you can end up on the roof!
But that's enough of sounding like a brochure.
We'll go there when you come to visit!

Janet Bixby Thompson passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on April 13. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 22, at the Butler Community Center, 1604 FM 489 in Fairfield. Janet Thompson was born May 15, 1932, in Shellsburg, Iowa, to Merl and Lucille Weir. She was the oldest of three children, with a sister, Roberta, and brother, Gordon. In March 1951 she married William (Bill) Ray Thompson following his completion of boot camp for the U.S. Navy. After Bill's discharge from the Navy, they moved back to Vinton, Iowa. Bill began technical school in Chicago shortly after moving back to Vinton. Janet and their two children, Gordon Duane and Jana Rae, moved back in with her parents at their farm while Bill continued his education. During this time Janet worked as an operator at the phone company in Vinton. Following Bill's graduation with training in Mechanical Engineering, Bill was offered a position with the former Collins Radio in Richardson. At this time Janet began her career with Texas Instruments. Bill and Janet had two more children, Lorraine (Lori) Marie and Arthur (Art) Merl. Bill and Janet raised their family and lived in the Richardson/Plano area until their retirement. As a couple, they were very active in square dancing and bridge, making many lifelong friends. The children married and began their own families: Duane and Karen Thompson, Greg and Jana Miller, Tim and Lori January, and Art Thompson. Following Bill and Janet's retirement, they fulfilled their dream of moving to the country. Bill and Janet built a home on 10 acres in Fairfield. The adjoining acreage was purchased and homes were built for Janet's parents, Merl and Lucille Weir, as well Janet's brother and his wife, Gordon and Jeannie Weir.

Sir John Soane (1753-1837) has come to be regarded as one of the great architects of late 18th and early 19th century Europe, and contemporary architects and designers are becoming increasingly influenced by the subtleties of the unique 'Soane style'. Dorothy Stroud's classic book, which is appearing in paperback for the first time, in an updated second edition, is the culmination of a lifetime's research. It brings together all the threads in her previous writings on Soane, combining a concise biography of the architect with a comprehensive and fully illustrated survey of his works. After studying in Italy, Soane built up a considerable private practice and a reputation that secured his appointment in 1788 as architect to the Bank of England, where over a period of forty-five years he designed a vast complex of courts and offices. With his appointment to the Office of Works in 1815, he became responsible for public buildings in Whitehall and Westminster, which entailed the designing of a Royal entrance and gallery in the House of Lords, new Law Courts, Privy Council Offices and a State Paper Office.As professor of architecture at the Royal Academy from 1806, he was to play a leading role in the improvement of architectural education in Britain; and he was active in the founding of what is now the Royal Institute of British Architects. Although much of his work was thoughtlessly destroyed towards the end of the 19th century, a substantial number of buildings and parts of buildings survive, especially outside London, as a testimony to his genius
Dorothy Stroud was an expert on 18th and early 19th century architecture, and in particular on Soane, and was Assistant Curator of the famous Sir John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields for many years: this house contains his priceless collection of works of art, books and architectural drawings. She wrote a number of other books including Capability Brown; George Dance, Architect, 1741-1825; Humphry Repton; and Henry Holland, His Life and Architecture.

Frequently during interviews I'm asked if motorcycling has influenced or changed my life. Questions asked to me namely by women, not men. Women aiming to link or underline the psychological benefits motorcycling may affect in one's life. This change is often defined as an "empowerment" women experience once learning to ride and embracing motorcycling.
"Motorcycling for me was out-and-out THE answer for my need to be thrilled. The activity provided me an outlet from my corporate life and one that equally challenged me".~ V.Gray
I'll be hones, it was never was "empowerment" for me. I always had a "no limits" approach to life right from a young age. And as a girl I think it was this attitude which on its own, propelled me outside so-called gender boundaries. I enjoyed sports, building rafts, climbing trees – all that fearless stuff that the boys seemed to embrace! On top of that, I'm a pilot's daughter. I'd spent my childhood speeding down farm-field runways lifting off to the pleasures of being airborne – in two or four seater aircraft's with my father.
Motorcycling for me was out-and-out "the" answer for my need to be thrilled, an activity providing me an outlet from my corporate life and one that equally challenged me. And getting back to this often asked question if "motorcycling has influenced or changed my life"-there is something that motorcycle racing opened my mind to. Something that I've been able to bring to daily life – and that is the understanding that just about everything in life can be altered or adjusted to make it fit for you; make it work for you.
It was racing which enlightened me to the fact that slight changes affected better performance. Just tiny transformations made for hugely powerful outcomes! Perhaps this sounds ridiculously simple. But trust me if you're like me, one that's never dabbled in custom bike or car building, or building wooden cabinets for that fact –this common sense is the furthest from your understanding.
It wasn't until the end of my first supersport race season, I started to alter, fit and adjust not only my motorcycle, but my riding style. I had great resources within the race community to help me (and later years the full Ten Kate Honda team). I recall the success of simply repositioning my motorcycle rear-sets (foot pegs) a few centimetres higher and forward resulting in a better body position to manoeuvre control. Then there was my decision to add a "quick throttle" to reduce the amount of travel my small female hand needed. I accelerated quicker with less wrist movement-this worked like a charm! Of course adjustments in racing are eternal and take into account the unique characteristics of each different circuit you're racing on. You can understand why it's so tough to become good at this sport-the constant adjusting is much about trial and error, experiments using up many dollars, on limited track time.
Sounds Simple Doesn't It?
So it's thanks to motorcycle racing I'm a better solution seeker. No matter if I'm loading up my trailer, finding extra space in my kitchen cupboards, improving students circuit riding techniques or working on personal relationships. I seek out the small alterations and nearly 100% of the time I get huge results needed!
As you look forward to the year ahead and contemplate your plans and goals, try focusing on the simple and minute changes and alterations. These are easy and I'm certain you'll find just as I have – a little goes a long, long way!

The highly-awaited 2016 ICC World T20 clash will witness India and Pakistan renewing one of cricket's fiercest rivalries when they take the field at Eden Gardens in what promises to a pulsating encounter on 19 March.
Also read: Top T20 cricketers and their quirky superstitions
Despite enjoying more success than their arch-rivals in the shortest version of the game, the Indian cricket team will have their backs against the wall when they lock horns with Pakistan tomorrow. The crushing defeat against New Zealand in the tournament opener has already affected India's campaign, while a defeat against Pakistan could send them packing.
Also read: Sehwag reveals his favourite Indo-Pak moment in cricket
On the other hand, Shahid Afridi-led Pakistan made a strong statement in their opening game against Bangladesh where their much-criticised batting sealed a 55-run win. The Pakistani captain, who was also under fire, led by example with a 19-ball 49 and followed it up with the bowling figures of 2/27 in his side's comprehensive win.
India may be playing in their backyard but it's the Pakistani team who will be supremely confident especially at a ground where they have a clean 4-0 win-loss record in limited-overs cricket.
Given the circumstances, it is surely hard to pick a favourite between these two sides but the stage is perfectly set for an enthralling contest which is expected to be played to a full house.
Head-to-head in T20Is
Arch-rivals India and Pakistan have played seven T20Is in the short history of the format. MS Dhoni's men surely have an upper-hand, at least on paper, with five wins and a loss. Pakistan have surely been on the receiving end in the shortest format but the team has also won a T20I against India in Bengaluru on 25 December, 2012.
Also, the inaugural World T20 in 2007 witnessed the first-ever clash between these two cricket giants in the shortest format at Durban where the game was tied and later decided in the 'bowl out'. MS Dhoni's men came out on top with a 3-0 margin in the 'bowl out'.
Leading run-scorers
Virat Kohli is the most successful batsman when it comes to the T20Is played between India and Pakistan. In the four matches he has played, the Delhi southpaw has scored 150 runs at an average of 75.00 and a strike-rate of 119.
Pakistan's Mohammad Hafeez is second in the list of leading run-getters during Indo-Pak T20I matches. The right-handed batsman has played five matches and amassed 147 runs at a strike-rate of 119 and an average of 29.40.
Gautam Gambhir (139 runs in 5 matches), Shoaib Malik (134 runs in 6 matches) and Yuvraj Singh (117 runs in 6 matches) are the other top-scorers in Indo-Pak T20 encounters.
Highest wicket-takers
Pakistan's Umar Gul is the undisputed champion when it comes to taking most wickets in the Indo-Pak T20 duels. The right-arm seamer has taken 11 wickets in just six matches to lead the pack of top wicket-takers.
Irfan Pathan is second on the list with his tally of six wickets in three games for India. Mohammad Asif (5 wickets in two matches), Bhuvaneshwar Kumar (5 wickets in three matches) and RP Singh (4 wickets in two matches) are the other players in the list.
Most sixes
Misbah-ul-Haq holds the record for most sixes in T20Is between India and Pakistan. The right-handed batsman has smashed five sixes and seven fours in the two T20Is he has played against India. Pakistan's Shoaib Malik is second on the list with four sixes and 11 fours in seven games.
India's run-machine Virat Kohli is placed third in the list of six-hitters with three maximums and a whopping 23 fours in five matches. Surprisingly, Pakistan seamer Sohail Tanvir holds the fourth spot for smashing two sixes in four T20 matches against India.
Team India discard Robin Uthappa is placed fifth with two sixes and five fours in the two T20Is he has played against Pakistan.
Key facts
India was involved in the only bowl-out in World T20 history, defeating Pakistan 3-0 in the inaugural edition in South Africa in 2007
Pakistan's highest margin of victory by runs in T20Is came on December 30, 2010, when it posted 183 for 6 before bundling New Zealand out for 80, for a 103-run victory.
Along with Pakistan, India has registered the second most number of wins in World T20 history - 18.
When Umar Akmal isn't terrorising opposition bowlers, he is a mean fielder: his 34 catches puts him third on the all-time list for the format.
Yuvraj Singh is the only batsman to have hit six sixes in an over in World T20 and T20I cricket.
Pakistan has twice posted 191 against Australia at the World T20. The first time, in 2010, it lost the semifinal by three wickets thanks to a marauding Michael Hussey; in 2014, the bowlers held on to complete a 16-run win.
Suresh Raina is one of six players to have hit a century in World T20, in the 2010 edition against South Africa.
Pakistan has won 18 of the 30 ICC World T20 matches it has played.

Until a couple of years ago I didn't know what a pupusa was. Claro, I'd heard about them and how good they were, but there was never a reason for me to go looking for one… until someone delivered one straight to my dinner plate. From the very first bite I was hooked. Sort of like a gordita, but with a whole different sabor. Since then, my cravings for pupusashave increased exponentially. Yet what I've realized over that time, also, is that many people don't know the actual difference between a pupusa and a gordita. No! They are not the same thing.
So in this Viernes Vloguero second episode I've recruited the help of a couple of my neighborhood restaurants to highlight the differences. To say the least, this episode was delicioso! I'd like to thank Mari and Doña Mari who took time out of their busy schedules to entertain my curiosity and paladar. Hopefully you guys enjoy this video as much as I did making it!
