2 Cards from the Crime Scene Deck — Nothing Yet — Both of these cards are of the "Nothing Yet" type, which means that they are NOT actual evidence. By adding these to the deck, players will make it MORE difficult to win. The deck currently includes 8 Nothing Yet cards. By adding these cards, a 9th or even a 10th "Nothing Yet" card is possible.
7 Cards from the Murder Weapon Deck — Nothing Yet — All 7 of these cards are are of the "Nothing Yet" type (NOT actual evidence). Once again, by adding these to the deck, players will make it MORE difficult to win. The deck currently includes 7 Nothing Yet cards. Now, adding an 8th, 9th, 10th,… (All the way up to a) a 14th "Nothing Yet" card is possible! Including some (or all) of these extra cards makes the game more difficult to win!
3 More Cards from the Murder Weapon Deck — Each is a Different Murder Weapon — One is a knife (the knife used in the 1st Edition), one is a service revolver (used in the 2nd Edition), and one is a shotgun (not used in any edition — yet). We have heard feedback from gamers expressing a desire to have more variety in the area of Murder Weapons (these cards are done in answer to this — they are also done to allow for a greater range of deck set-ups). For details, see variants section below.
This Promo-Pack requires NO special rules.
All of the new Event Cards (Larger Cards) included in this expansion booster pack are intended to be used with any edition of Police Precinct, by simply adding the cards to the deck and playing as normal. With this in mind, feel free to play with ALL, some, or none of these new Event Cards. As always, follow the directions on the card as they appear.
When playing with the Crooked Lawyers Expansion pack, it is possible for there to be more than one Event Card ending up in the same location. If and when this occurs, simply place the "New" card on top of the "Old" (Existing) card. The "New" Card must be dealt with first, and then once this is complete, the "Old" card can be accessed.
We feel that it would be best to, EITHER play with the base-game's "Problems In the Hood" series of cards (which is 3 cards, all of the same type), OR to play with the New "In The Hood" series of 3 different cards (the last 3 cards listed in the contents section above for Larger Cards).
As for the Smaller Cards from the investigation decks, play will be conducted exactly as usual, but with some variation in terms of set-up. See below for certain suggested variants for these cards.
In this scenario, it is considered that a number of weapons were used for illicit purposes and then hastily stashed in the neighborhood (available to be found by the Police).
SET-UP: The focus is on weapons, so players would not use any of the extra Crime Scene cards provided. Instead, use ALL of the rest of the smaller cards (which happen to be from the Murder Weapon Deck). The only card you will want to NOT include is the duplicate Murder Weapon (which varies depending on which edition you are playing with — 1st Edition is a knife, and 2nd is a service revolver). Thus, you should have 8 original cards, plus 10 additional cards making a stack of 18 cards total. Then after removing the one duplicate weapon, you are left with 17 cards. Now randomize this stack. Then place and use as normal.
MISC.: In this variant, players will be more likely to run across the murder weapon than is the case for the standard version of the game, but since the stack is much taller, they will have less control over the process. Overall, we this variant as slightly easier. If using a Dirty Cop, beware because this will make his job just that much easier.
FOUND: Fortunately for the cops, the first weapon found is verified to be The Murder Weapon. At that point, the deck is then removed from the board (as is typical for this deck).
In this scenario, it is considered that one group of detectives began work on the case earlier and that the new group (the group sitting down to play now) is taking over where they left off.
SET-UP: players would set up the deck just as described in the Murder Weapon Frenzy above. Then the players would begin flipping over cards until a weapon is found. After this occurs, one more card is removed (but not seen by any players). All of these cards are to be put back into the box. Then play as usual, BUT none of the players will know if there are 2 or possibly only 1, murder weapon left in the game deck.
MISC.: The fact that none of the players will know how many weapons are in the stack, makes it more challenging, but remember that in most cases there are will be 2 left, along with (likely) several of the Nothing Yet cards already removed. This will create a situation that is, on average, harder to win than is the case for the standard game. This variant is also fertile ground for Dirty Cop activity!
In this scenario, it is considered that evidence is harder to come by for various reasons.
SET-UP: players would use both of the extra Nothing Yet cards for the Crime Scene Deck (thus 10 total Nothing Yet cards for that deck), along with three three of the 7 extra Nothing Yet cards for the Murder Weapon Deck (thus 10 total Nothing Yet cards for that deck also). Now randomize both of these stacks and place them (and use them) as normal.
MISC.: In this variant, players will find it to be substantially more difficult to find the evidence and win the game.
TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT: Remember, if you can succeed at this version, as described above, then please DO add even more cards to the mix if you want. The hardest possible scenario would involve using all of these extra (new) "Nothing Yet" cards from BOTH the Murder Weapon Deck AND the Crime Scene Deck, while using none of the extra cards from the Murder Weapon Deck which are actual pieces of evidence (so limiting the evidence to JUST ONE murder weapon — exactly like how it is done with the normal base-game). This will result in 15 total cards in the Murder Weapon deck (considerably more than the standard amount = 8), AND you will have 16 total cards in the Crime Scene Deck after adding in the 2 new Nothing Yet cards! Winning a game under these conditions could prove to be very difficult! We only recommend even trying this if your group is very advanced and enjoys extreme challenges!
We here at Common Man Games know that some gamers like to follow pre-prescribed play-tested variants. That makes perfect sense and we love to offer them.
We also know that some like to "Design-their-own" variants and create their own House-Rules. We think this makes perfect sense too. We want to support BOTH approaches and encourage fun in every form it might come. We plan to create a special thread on BGG designed for brainstorming ideas with YOU (the gamer) for even more fun ways to use the smaller cards from Crooked Lawyers. When we do, we plan to create a link here, so stay tuned!
This promo-pack of cards was born during the Kickstarter for the 2nd Edition. It was an important part of the Stretch Goals for that campaign. Initially called "Naked Man", it was then later changed to "Crooked Lawyers" (inquiring minds go GO HERE). Crooked Lawyers is considered to be an Episode in the Police Precinct series, to see how it fits into the line-up GO HERE.
DAN KING — Made an appearance in this episode with his Card, which became the Name-Sake of this promo-pack. Originally the card was to be named "The Sting", but later renamed "Crooked Lawyers".
If you want to follow the evolution of this card GO HERE!
RICHARD LAUNIUS — Appears in the form of inspiration for a number of cards. When we found out that game designer Richard Launius had designed a whole set of special cards for his personal copy of Police Precinct, we asked if it would be OK for us to use part of this collection in Crooked Lawyers. Sir Richard has graciously allowed this happen.
BART "THE CHIEF" BRUNSCHEEN — Bart is well known in the industry as a reviewer for The Dice Tower. We would also like to point out that Bart is a REAL COP! In fact, he is a highly trained and experienced veteran who is a part of our pool of Law Enforcement Consultants. Throughout his career, Bart has been involved with some VERY interesting situations. One of which gave him a degree of fame (video footage went viral) for his foot-pursuit of a car driven through a building. Bart also has many well-told and amazing stories of such things as… how tricky it can be to attempt to apprehend a naked perp. As he says, it's a no-win situation! This inspired one of the cards known simply as "Naked Man", which at one time was going to be the name-sake of the Promo-Pack.

Supporting the working homeless: The employer's role
Rachel Muller-Heyndyk, September 03, 2018
Many factors causing homelessness are out of employers' control, but they can still lend vital support
More must be done by employers to support staff affected by homelessness, according to experts.
The issue recently received increased focus as a result of research from Shelter, and a Channel 4 Dispatches programme. The research found that 55% of families living in temporary accommodation are working, representing 33,000 UK families.
While there are now more people in employment, a Freedom of Information request carried out by Shelter showed that between 2013 and 2017 the number of working families in temporary accommodation rose dramatically by 73%.
The Dispatches documentary revealed the 'double lives' of the working homeless who had jobs in security, education, retail, and hospitality, among other sectors. It featured a homeless security guard working at Prada in Bond Street, and another interviewee who had become homeless after her marriage ended but had kept her job in adult education, who said she used bathrooms in McDonald's to wash before work.
The reasons behind homelessness are varied but are primarily the result of rising rent costs, a 'chronic lack of affordable housing', and the stringency of the benefits system, Shelter's research concluded.
While many of these factors are beyond employers' control, they still have a key role to play in supporting affected employees, said head of employment initiatives at the Single Homeless Project Joe Mitchell.
"This is definitely something we've seen more of over the past few years. We are contracted across London to help people get into work and education but we've started to see that people don't just need help getting work; they need help sustaining their jobs," he told HR magazine.
"There's a lot of stigma around admitting you're homeless, and it often turns out that employers are unaware of the problems. People without housing don't feel they can turn to their bosses. It's really important that employers understand the reality of life for some people in their workforce."
People struggling with both their mental health and insecure housing are often trapped in a vicious cycle, Mitchell added. "A decline in mental health is one of the biggest causes behind both homelessness and workplace issues," he said. "Even if [someone does] find housing, it isn't necessarily stable. The stress of knowing that they are just one decision from a landlord away from being homeless again is immense."
Robust policies around mental health and wellbeing can help minimise some of these pressures, said Mitchell: "It really comes down to the basics of management; asking the right questions and taking time to understand the issues at hand."
Helen Giles, executive director of people and governance at St Mungo's, added that those dealing with or who've dealt with homelessness can bring a lot of positive attributes to an organisation.
"There are all sorts of reasons that can lead to someone becoming homeless; it's very complex. We know that under a good employer work can really help to improve the lives of a lot of people who have been through a lot of extremely difficult experiences, and get them out of the cycle of homelessness," she told HR magazine.
"Some employers will have a lot of misconceptions about homeless people, including doubts over their reliability. That's a shame, as they can use their experiences to help others who might have been through similar situations, and can be invaluable in charities or support roles.
"People who have been through homelessness can often make the most loyal, committed, open employees if they are shown the right support."

The planets have aligned for one of Australia's best-known composers, but time and tide stop for no-one.
Stuart Greenbaum, one of Australia's most widely-performed composers and Head of Composition at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, is 50. Or, he will be soon. He's not there yet, despite the imminent Stuart Greenbaum at 50 concert at Melba Hall.
The MCM New Music Studio will present Professor Greenbaum's Chamber Concerto (2008) and Chamber Concerto No.2 (2011).
800 Million Heartbeats. Stuart Greenbaum.
He views his works, more than 190 for the concert stage, as "living, breathing objects" – which has its pros and cons.
90 Minutes Circling the Earth. Stuart Greenbaum.
As a young man, Professor Greenbaum played electric guitars – and rock and pop still inform his compositions. Ross Baglin, his bandmate at 18, remains one of his closest collaborators. Together, with Baglin as librettist, they have created two successful operas (Nelson, 2005, and The Parrot Factory, 2010), 11 choral works, numerous art songs.
Symphony No.2 "Double Planet". Stuart Greenbaum.
Fragments of Gratification. Stuart Greenbaum.
The Flinders Quartet play Stuart Greenbaum String Quartet No.6 The Lonely Planet.
He is currently ten pieces into a suite of 20 for his Sonata Project, which will involve a major recital work for all the major orchestral instruments, and a couple of others besides. "Most of them are accompanied by piano, so they're really duos," he says. "It means they're very achievable in performance terms." The portability of that model, its replicability compared to an orchestra piece, appeals.
Not surprisingly, combining a full-time senior academic position and two young children with writing music presents its challenges – a big one being time. "I've asked myself whether I'd be happier if I just stopped writing completely," he says. "My music is one of the most exciting things in my life, but it's also one of the most depressing, and I'm not in full control of that roller-coaster.
Professor Stuart Greenbaum … at 49. Photo: Sarah Fisher.
Isn't that what music does, I wonder. Isn't that the whole point?
New Music Studio: Stuart Greenbaum at 50, takes place on 12 December 2016, 6.00pm–7.00pm at Melba Hall, Parkville, Melbourne. Full details here.

Q: Second alert not called following StorageArea.clear chrome.storage.sync.clear(function() {
      alert("Nuked");
      chrome.storage.sync.set({"data_init": "0"}, function(result) {
        alert("nukedata: " + result.data_init);
      });
    });

In the above code, "Nuked" is displaying every time but the alert nested in the second callback function never displays. How can I ensure a "data_init" storage item is created and set following a storage clear?

A: Set callback does not echo items that were set. Your code does not get executed, as accessing data_init of undefined throws a runtime error.
You should check for chrome.runtime.lastError inside the callback; if it is undefined, items were saved.

Stone: Even If Trump Wins 1,237 Delegates, Cruz Could Use "Procedural" Means To "Take Away His Majority"
Trump strategist Roger Stone tells NJ 101.5 radio that even if Donald Trump wins a majority of pledged delegates to the Republican convention, Cruz will utilize "Trojan horse" delegates (who are bound to vote for Trump only on the first RNC nomination ballot) to vote on "procedural" matters in the Rules Committee or Credentials committee to block or disallow certain votes.
ROGER STONE: Unfortunately just because Donald Trump gets the 1,237 [delegates needed to win], doesn't mean we aren't going to have a brokered convention. My sources, who are pretty good in the Republican Party, indicate to me that Ted Cruz intends to work a "rules strategy" to try to euchre this nomination away from Donald Trump.
In kind of a shady, using political trickery and so on, utilizing these Trojan Delegates we have been talking about -- Where Trump delegates, from the results of the primary -- those seats are filled with non-Trump voters, non-Trump supporters who will vote against Trump on procedural issues in either rules or credentials that could be used to take away his majority.
The rules committee could vote, for example, to disallow delegates from states which allowed independent voters to participate in primaries.

The alert level at Nevado del Huila volcano in Colombia has been raised to the second-highest level of Orange (Naranja), 'eruption probable within days or weeks'. The bulletin issued by Popayán Observatory late yesterday reports that the behaviour of the volcano changed from around 19:55 local time on 16 October, with the detection of a 'seismic signal of 10 minutes duration, possibly associated with emission of material at the upper levels of the volcano'. This was followed by a continuous tremor signal. Emergency and civil defence organizations have been put on alert in communities around the volcano.

The alert level at Nevado del Huila volcano in Colombia was raised on 31 March to the third-highest level of Yellow (III), 'changes in volcanic activity'. This change from the previous status of Green (IV) was primarily in response to a rise in seismic activity, reports the INGEOMINAS observatory at Popayán.

In Colombia, Nevado del Huila volcano continues to cause concern. On 3 February 2009 the Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Popayán, the observatory operated by the Instituto Colombiano de Geología y Minería (INGEOMINAS) which monitors Nevado del Huila, issued a bulletin for the period 28 January to 3 February 2009, incorporating observations from an overflight made by observatory staff on a Colombian Air Force plane on 28 January. Among the observations made in the statement are:
Elevated seismicity, with 461 seismic events recorded: 'Of these, 172 are related to fracturing of rocks, 269 to the movement of fluid within the volcanic conduits, three hybrids and 17 pulses of low-magnitude tremor'. The rock-fracturing events included three quakes of magnitudes ranging between 2.0 and 3.5, two at a depth of less than 4km.
During the overflight continuous degassing was observed from the upper part of the lava dome, producing gas columns of blue and white colouring, indicating discharges of steam and sulphur dioxide.
Web camera images from 28 and 31 January showed gas columns not exceeding 1000m altitude and dispersing to the south-east.
Sulphur dioxide emissions were measured on 3 February and calculated to be at a rate of 2148 tonnes per day.
Observations show that the new dome on the south flank of Nevado del Huila's main peak, Pico Central, is continuing to grow.
A video of the 28 January overflight is available from the Popayán observatory main page, or via this direct link (.mpg, 17.2MB). The Nevado del Huila webcam, provided by the USGS, can be viewed through this link.

Semana reports that the Colombian Interior Minister, Fabio Valencia Cossio, visited the town of Belalcázar on 24 January, in the wake of the government's decision to relocate the town, which is highly vulnerable to lahars from Nevado del Huila. The Minister confirmed that the entire municipality is to be moved to a new site, along with nine nearby indigenous reserves (the homes and livelihoods of indigenous communities have proved particularly vulnerable to the volcano). The timetable for the move is still not clear, although it is evident that the government takes seriously the warnings of the geologists that Huila will erupt again soon, and wishes to move quickly. Local inhabitants whose homes have already been left uninhabitable by November's floods will be relocated as a matter of urgency.

Colombia evacuates at-risk populations around Huila and Machín 28 January 2009
Posted by admin in Colombia, Machín, natural hazards, Nevado del Huila, volcano monitoring.

Where you have substantial populations living in close proximity to active and dangerous volcanoes, you can't move the volcano but you can move the people. Colombia appears to have embarked upon a policy of relocating the populations of volcanically at-risk areas, beginning with Nevado del Huila and Cerro Machín.
The news from Colombia is that the national government is moving quickly to carry into effect its decision to evacuate Belalcázar, the town most at risk from an eruption of Nevado del Huila. If that is so, it is probably a good thing. A report published in El Espectador on 25 January 2009 paints a bleak picture of life in the town since a large part of it was destroyed by lahars unleashed through the Páez valley by Huila's November 2008 eruption.
Belalcázar High School (reports El Espectador) was left ruined and classes for its 1200 students are suspended until further notice, says the principal, Sister María Odilia Perdomo Leiva: 'The laboratories, cinema, books, documents, chairs, desks and computers were devoured by the river'. Looting has taken place in flood-damaged properties. The price of almost everything has gone up since the damage to bridges and roads left the town almost isolated. Internet and telephone connections are unreliable. The mayor of the town ordered the construction of a pedestrian bridge across the Páez, 'but the work was badly done and the structure collapsed', causing an accident that injured a child. The only way of crossing river is the tarabita, a form of cable-car, and locals complain that the fare for using the cable is extortionate: 'a means of communication has been converted into a means of profit for the owners of the cable'.
The Belalcázar municipal authorities have been saying that the relocation process will take a long time – the secretary of the town government, Eloy Muñoz Salazar, is quoted as saying that he did not believe the evacuation would happen this year: 'It will take a long time, there will be a social, economic, structural and populational study before the evacuation of the town begins'. The atmosphere in the town has been one of anxiety. 'The streets are nearly empty and the population gathers in the central park during the day to talk about the future of the town, since the municipal authorities do not seem to know anything … In the shops, stores and bars of Belalcázar the talk is of the relocation'. Of course, there is a human cost to relocation, with people unhappy at having to leave their home town, worried about recouping the value of the property they will be leaving behind, and concerned about where they will end up and what the future will bring.
In the last few days, however, it seems that the national government has decided to end any uncertainty by acting without any of the prolonged studies predicted by Muñoz Salazar, motivated no doubt by the current INGEOMINAS forecast of an eruption of Huila 'within days or weeks'. The National Emergencies Directorate has confirmed the beginning of the 'final relocation of most of the inhabitants of Belalcázar municipality in Cauca department', reports Caracol Radio:
In the first instance 800 families will leave who would be at high risk in the event of a fifth eruption of Huila volcano, provoking an avalanche that would descend the valleys of the Páez and Simbola rivers. The town is located on the left bank of the Páez river, less than one kilometre from where the Simbola river empties into the course of the forementioned river, thus forming the point of greatest risk in the event of an avalanche. Luz Amanda Pulido, director of national emergencies, told Caracol Radio that there is no estimate of how much the relocation will cost.
According to [Pulido], the national government will provide the resources necessary for moving these families from the zone of risk.
La Patria also reports that 800 families will begin to be relocated this week. '"The process is in the hands of the communities. They are the ones who will tell us of the most suitable sites for their relocation", said Luz Amanda Pulido, director of the Sistema Nacional de Atención y Prevención de Desastres'. In the same story, La Patria reports that similar preventive measures are being taken around Machín volcano, which has been showing signs of restlessness recently:
As well as Nevado del Huila, action is also being taken at Machín volcano in Tolima. Cortolima and Invias are readying evacuation routes and purchasing land in at-risk areas … The director of the Corporación Autónoma del Tolima, Cortolima, Carmen Sofía Bonilla, announced that the work being done with the Instituto Geográfico Agustín Codazzi, Igac, concerned with the valuation and purchase of 45 properties that are close to the volcano, is advancing satisfactorily, and that priority is being given to 7 sites around the dome.
It seems that the Colombian government is determined to address the dangers posed by its volcanoes by moving people from harm's way wherever possible, rather than risking another Armero. The larger the population, of course, the more complex and expensive relocation becomes: no-one is suggesting moving Pasto (population 450,000) from its location at the foot of Galeras. If you can't move everyone, it is vital to keep them as safe as possible through effective and robust monitoring and early warning systems, evacuation procedures, and public information policies.

The evacuation plan for the town of Belalcázar near Nevado del Huila volcano (see our post last week) seems to be getting under way, according to this report from CNN today. Around 800 families are being moved out of the town; the report says that emergency officials 'are asking the 800 families where they want to be moved to', which is one way of doing it.
I haven't had time to check what the Colombian press are saying about this yet – will do so later.
Dr Klemetti has further details over at Eruptions, along with an important correction of the CNN report, which he calls 'almost dangerously erroneous'.
Belalcázar was badly affected during the eruption in November, with lahars destroying bridges and causing serious flooding. The picture at the top of this post was taken in May 2008, while that below was taken on 21 November 2008 and shows the extent of the inundation. Both these pictures come from the Paéz local government website.

The Colombian volcano Nevado del Huila has had a restless few years of late, erupting in the spring of 2007 and again, in deadly fashion, in November 2008. The headline put out today by the English language service of the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina gives the impression of a further sudden outburst of dramatic activity at the volcano: 'Thousands flee Colombian volcano'. In fact there has been no change in the volcano's behaviour, and its alert level is high but unchanged at orange (the second highest alert level – 'eruption probable wthin days or weeks').
The subject of the report is not an evacuation in the face of immediate danger. It is, rather, a plan for a preventive evacuation. The Colombian government has announced that it will be moving the entire population of the town of Belalcázar, 4000 people in all, to a site less at risk from the volcano's activity. El País reports:
The National Government will be implementing a prevention plan for the urban district of Paez Belalcázar, in the department of Cauca, which will consist of the removal of all inhabitants of the area before a possible eruption of the Nevado del Huila Volcano.
'The conditions for a possible further eruption that Ingeominas has detected are delicately balanced, so it is necessary that the Government takes this decision for the benefit of those in the area. It is a complicated, difficult transfer, which will take a long time', [Justice Minister] Valencia Cossio announced.
Belalcázar, the capital of Páez municipality. is the town that suffered most in the November 2008 eruption, with extensive damage to local communications and services.
It is not clear whether the resettlement is intended to be temporary or permanent. As a risk mitigation procedure the removal of an entire urban population from the vicinity of an active volcano is logical, but very complicated, disruptive and expensive. Whether in this case it is a better option than having effective monitoring, warning and evacuation procedures remains to be seen.
UPDATE, 21 January 2009: The government proposal to relocate the people of Belalcázar has, unsurprisingly, divided local opinion, reports El País today. 'The people are deeply rooted in the land', warns the alcalde, James Yaznó:
We hope the studies will find a very suitable site and that the conditions will be right for such a relocation. They will have to look very carefully, because the town has large infrastructures, such as the hospital, which cost a lot of money.
Other local inhabitants (doubtless afraid of the government dumping them on some empty hillside somewhere) stress the importance of fertile agricultural land and good roads and other utilities at the new site, and ask that the relocation be carried out 'with dignity'; they make the point that it would be wrong to relocate the town but leave surrounding villages at risk; and warn that transferring Belalcázar to a new site 'would disrupt the rhythms of life and work'.

After the eruption, the aftermath: communities around Nevada del Huila volcano in south-west Colombia continue to suffer the destructive and disruptive effects of last week's eruption. More lahars and landslides have brought destruction and further evacuations to the towns and villages near the volcano, many of which remain cut off from the outside world following the collapse of bridges and blocking of roads. Some people who had returned to their homes since the weekend have had to be evacuated again as new floods threaten their safety.
The town of Belalcázar is slowly returning to normality, reports El País, with the reconnection of power supplies and the provision of aerial cableways to carry food and aid supplies. An airlift is bringing aid to the area, and nearby towns are contributing supplies of food, clothing and medicines. More than 500 people have been evacuated from rural areas by the Colombian Air Force.
The Colombian Interior Ministry's latest bulletin (issued yesterday) gives the casualty list as six dead and six missing. Four of the dead are children aged from one to twelve years. Some press reports using information from Sunday list the number of dead as ten, with as many as 150 missing or trapped. Many of the most badly affected communities on the upper slopes of the volcano have yet to be reached or contacted by the authorities (bad weather is preventing the use of helicopters, and roads have been destroyed), so final casualty figures are impossible to ascertain at this stage.
The death toll from this eruption is tragic and the destruction is extensive, but it could have been a great deal worse. In 1994 an earthquake at Nevado del Huila triggered landslides and a lahar that killed several hundred people. Lahars are among the most deadly of volcanic phenomena, as Colombia learned at Nevado del Ruiz in 1985 when a populated valley was devastated and 23,000 people died. At Nevado del Huila on this occasion the danger was fully understood, the volcano was efficiently monitored, the alarm was raised promptly, evacuations took place, and lives were undoubtedly saved as a result.
INGEOMINAS are maintaining an orange (level II, where level I 'red' is the highest) alert for Nevado del Huila.

Latest reports from Colombia speak of at least ten fatalities caused by the eruption of Nevado del Huila on 20 November. It seems likely that the total will rise as information comes in from presently isolated areas near the volcano. Most of the victims appear to have come from 'Indigenous' communities on the lower slopes of Nevado del Huila and in surrounding valleys, and the deaths seem to have been caused directly or indirectly by the lahars unleashed when the eruption caused part of the volcano's ice-cap to melt.
INGEOMINAS has lowered the alert level for Nevado del Huila to orange (II). The latest special report on the volcano reports 'current low levels of activity' and indications that it has 'entered a period of seismic stability'. On the other hand, the report notes, there is continuous emission of gas and a strong smell of sulphur, and the new lava dome requires careful monitoring. An INGEOMINAS video (mpg format, 2:18 duration) of the 21 November overflight, showing the new lava dome, is available on the Institute website.

The volcanologists at the INGEOMINAS observatory Popayán have issued another special report on the situation at Nevado del Huila, where an eruption occurred on the night of 20-21 November. This report was issued at 18:30 local time (23:30 GMT) on 21 November and reports low levels of seismicity and no current eruptive activity beyond degassing. An overflight took place yesterday morning, revealing the formation of a new crater with a lava dome, located in the south-western part of the highest point of the complex, Pico Central. Translation as follows:
Special report on the activity of the volcano Nevado del Huila, 21 November 2008, 6:30pm.
The level of activity of the volcano is: LEVEL RED (I): ERUPTION IMMINENT OR IN PROGRESS
The INGEOMINAS volcanological and seismological observatory Popayán reports that:
– Seismic activity over the last fifteen hours continues at low levels, with an average occurrence of 5 events per hour.
– This morning an overflight was conducted to the upper part of the volcanic edifice where the following changes in the surface of the edifice were observed:
– The formation of a crater in the south-western sector of Pico Central of approximately 400m diameter, containing within it a magmatic body in the form of a dome, which is currently showing continual degassing from the surface, with gas columns that do not exceed 2000m in height.
– At the time of the eruption part of the hot material that came to the surface came into interaction with the glaciated layer of the surrounding area to form a flood of material what was initially channeled through the Bellavista stream and subsequently flowed through the Páez river.
– Ash deposits on the upper part of the volcanic edifice have covered most of the western sector of Pico Central and Pico Sur.
– There have been reports of falls of ash and sulphur odours in the towns of Corinto, Toribío and Páez.
INGEOMINAS will continue to remain alert to the development of the present process and in particular the evolution of the lava dome that is located on the surface, and will report in a timely manner the changes that may occur.
The Colombian newspaper El País has a vivid report today on Nevado del Huila's impact on Belalcázar, the municipality most affected by the eruption.
The force of the avalanche that descended the Páez river following the eruption of the volcano Nevado del Huila has left desolation in the region … The crops of cocoa, coffee, orange and tangerine which were planted over recent weeks have been destroyed by the lava that erupted from Nevado … People who have escaped the area on foot say that the fury of the Páez river destroyed at least six road bridges. Also, that the anger of the river was such that it swept along trees, cows and pigs, and that the level of the water was at least 40 metres above normal and left its mark along the valley of the Páez.
Belalcázar, one of the towns most affected by the anger unleashed by the mountain, is totally cut off. From the first creaks of the volcano, power and water services were disconnected. Thus, as almost always happens, the four thousand inhabitants of the urban area had to escape in the midst of darkness.
According to reports from local emergency officials quoted by El País, seven people have been reported missing from villages near the volcano, and among the buildings destroyed were a 1500-student school and 27 houses in the Los Guadales district, along with the local cemetery. Colombian President Álvaro Uribe flew over the affected area yesterday and was full of praise for the way things were being handled:
'All the seismological and communication systems worked perfectly thanks to the work of geologist Martha Calvache and her team at Ingeominas, and the same is true of the emergency services of Cauca. Additionally, it is worthy of note that the inhabitants of Belalcázar have shown an exemplary discipline, especially in the way they evacuated to shelters and in the unity they have shown throughout this entire process.'

The Instituto Colombiano de Geología y Minería (INGEOMINAS) issued a Special Report at 02:30 local time (07:30 GMT) today, 21 November 2008, reporting an eruption at Nevado del Huila volcano. The eruption began at 21:45 local time on 20 November (02:45 GMT 21 November 2008) and appears to have ended by the time of publication of the report. Abundant ashfall was reported, and a lahar descended the valley of the River Páez. Translation as follows:
Special report on the activity of the volcano Nevado del Huila, 21 November 2008, 2:30am.
– Beginning at 9:45pm local time there was an eruptive event at Nevado del Huila volcano.
– A mudflow has been generated that was channeled by the River Páez, affecting the road infrastructure of the region, according to reports received from the residents of the affected area.
– The inhabitants of Taravira, Tóez and La Estrella report abundant ashfall and noises associated with the eruptive event and the passage of the mudflow.
– The Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) reports two columns of gas and ash reaching an altitude of approximately 7000 and 10000 metres, measured from the summit of the volcano, with dispersal to the west and south-west of the volcanic edifice respectively.
– At the time of publication a decrease has been observed in seismic activity. It is clear that the eruptive process has finished, although the volcanic phenomenon continues its evolution.
INGEOMINAS remains vigilant and will report in a timely manner the changes that may arise.
A report in El País this morning says that 'the population of the municipality of Belalcázar, in Cauca [province], and some indigenous communities in the region' have been evacuated as a result of the eruption. El Espectador reports the population of Belalcázar (which is situated on the River Páez and is vulnerable to lahars) as 13,000: while it is not clear whether the entire town has been removed, the evacuations clearly affect thousands of people.

1-Do you want to go for a ride?
Luckily the answer to question 1 is almost always an immediate "yes". However, getting an answer to question 2 can be a bit trickier. It's similar to asking someone what they want for dinner. If you've ever argued with your family over that decision you probably already know what I mean. And if you are riding solo, there are still times question 2 could be hard to answer. It's like the options become overwhelming. If you've ever made your closet resemble a ransacked crime scene while you argue with yourself over what to wear, you surely know what I mean! My fridge is once again getting pleasantly wallpapered with flyers to remind me of nearby events, rides, and rallies now that spring is here. However, when some free time comes along where a ride is certain but the destination is not, how do you answer the question, "Where to?" This year, I'm finding solutions as well as new roads by taking part in a season-long run.
The 2018 Marble Run, to benefit the Frederick County Chapter of ABATE of Maryland, Inc., is underway and wraps up with an After Party on October 6th in Frederick. This scavenger hunt of sorts is simple: buy a book, ride to the participating locations, keep track of your marble colors in the book, have a good time at the party, and see if you win a nice chunk of gas money! While cash would be nice, I think the biggest payoff of this run is the adventures I'll have, discoveries I make, and people I meet along the way. There are marble stops in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, some at places I already know and make a point to ride to often. Yet some are at cool spots that I didn't even know were there. For example, I pass through the town of Lovettsville several times a year. Turns out there's a great coffee/tea/shake shop just around the corner and off my usual route, that I might not have found out about if I hadn't ridden there to score a marble.
In addition, it's my opinion that anyone who rides a motorcycle should be involved with and support a motorcycle rights organization like ABATE. Are you unfamiliar with ABATE (A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments)? Having been a member of the organization in three different states now, I can tell you it's made up of a group of women and men who fight hard for our rights and freedoms as motorcycle riders. I encourage you to find out more about ABATE in your state, find a chapter meeting near you to attend, and join! If in Maryland, see www.abateofmd.org. Also, try your luck on the Marble Run for a chance to win at the After Party. There will be live music from regional classic rock favorites Special Delivery, a good time with others in our riding community, and the knowledge that you're helping to protect our rights on the road. Because freedom isn't free.
That's an interesting concept and a good way of identifying new destination. I'm always a fan of new destinations. My method is to find new roads.
I'm surprised at the number of riders who always go on the same road to the same cafe.
It surprises me as well, this should be a fun way to help me learn more ways to get around the area since I haven't lived here that long.


(1) Many of the extinct marsupial megafauna were large, herbivorous browsers, some weighing several tons.(2) ÔÇÿThis new fossil provides precious new information, and sheds light on the evolution of all marsupial mammals,ÔÇÖ he said.(3) Unlike the large cats that have two enlarged canines, marsupial lions had enlarged incisors that were used to stab prey.(4) Named Akidolestes, the extinct animal had jaws, teeth, and forelimbs that identify it as a close relative of modern placental and marsupial mammals.(5) Small mammals such as bush rats and marsupial carnivores survived the fires by hiding under boulders and in damp rock crevasses.(6) The Tasmanian Devil is the world's largest marsupial predator but its very survival is at stake as an horrific cancer threatens up to 90% of its population.(7) The production of a marsupial genetic linkage map is perhaps one of the most important objectives in marsupial research.(8) This was catastrophic for some of the local animals, especially the big marsupial carnivores.(9) Tooth replacement in marsupial mammals differs from the condition generally believed to characterize eutherian mammals.(10) The marsupial wolf, now probably extinct, was once widespread in Australia and New Guinea.(11) The homology of the teeth in the marsupial dentition has been controversial and there are several alternate nomenclatures.(12) Dental development also occurs throughout the period of attachment in other marsupial species.(13) Placental and marsupial mammals are more closely related to one another than to the third living group of mammals, the monotremes.(14) Once the female hip-pocket frog, an Australian species also known as the marsupial frog, lays up to 20 white eggs, her work is done.(15) Studies on marsupial color vision have been limited to very few species.(16) The marsupial family Tarsipedidae contains a single species, the honey possum or noolbender.

In this insight its time to get stuck into shaping the contrast in our image. I have to admit this is normally my favorite part of the process. Leading the viewers eye, making the product or person pop out as best I can and trying to get as much out of our digital negative as possible. I spoke about the theory of adding depth earlier on in this series but lets take a practical look at doing this to video.


I have been researching on eyepieces for a day or two now and I can not come to a conclusion on what to get. I have an Orion space probe 130st. The focal length is 650mm and I am looking to view planets mostly Saturn as its the planet I took most interest in. If anyone has a good recommendation it would be great to hear it thank you.
However, I would assume that is the case for when Saturn is closest to us - and at the moment, it's only at about 80% its max size.
So, if you want to see Saturns rings relatively distinctly, you should aim for about 60x magnification - which would require a 10mm focal length eyepiece.
If you get a 2x Barlow lens, you could effectively get a second EP to give you double the magnification without so much expense.
As your scope is f/5, you would normally expect the shortest focal length eyepiece that you can usually get good results from would be a 5mm EP - any shorter than this and your viewing is likely to deteriorate unless the skies are particularly good.
Wow thank you so much that was a great response and so quickly. So you mentioned the Celstron's X-Cel would that also be good for other planets as well or just Saturn?

Yes, it should be good for the other planets too, it's just that they're smaller.
I can't say whether they're the best for their price range, but i reckon they're good quality at a reasonable price - about £70.
If you give one of the online vendors a phone call, you could ask what they would advise; they should have a good idea of what will work for your scope.
Quite honestly, I would not consider buying expensive eyepieces unless you were planning to buy a high quality telescope later on.
With a focal ratio of F/5, your telescope is better suited to wide field views, such as star clusters and galaxies.
I have a 32mm Skywatcher Plossl and some Moonfish Group eyepieces. They perform well with my 127mm Maksutov and Coronado PST.

The Autobiography of Soccer's Greatest and Most Controversial Star
By Diego Armando Maradona, Daniel Arcucci and Ernesto Cherquis Bialo
Epilogue by Mark Weinstein / Translated by Marcela Mora Y Araujo
"Sometimes I think that my whole life is on film, that my whole life is in print. But it's not like that. There are things which are only in my heart—that no one knows. At last I have decided to tell everything."
Diego Maradona went from a poor boy in a Buenos Aires shanty town to a genius with the soccer ball. He kicked his way to the top of South American, European, and world soccer, but his battles with the many pressures of life inside and outside the game consistently threatened to tear his legend and his spirit down. He is one of many famous soccer players, but one of only a few to write their own soccer autobiography. Villain or hero, one thing about the late Maradona is clear: he was the best soccer player of his generation and possibly of all time. He has never shared his remarkable story in his own words—until this autobiography.
From his poverty-stricken origins to his greatest successes on the field, Maradona remembers, with frankness and insight, the most impactful moments of his life. These include the pressures of being a child prodigy, the infamous semi-final game against England in the 1986 World Cup, an amazing turn-around and the dream-turned-sour at Napoli, and the disgrace and shame of his positive drug test at USA 1994. In this brutally honest autobiography, readers glimpse the inner thoughts of one of the most controversial, talented, and complex professional athletes of the times. He was a man divided between the demands of his corporate club bosses, the media, the fans, and his own tempestuous personal life.
With a new epilogue that updates Maradona's amazing story and includes over 80 delightful photographs, Maradona is a confessional, a revelation, an apology, and a celebration.

Re: GREG-or-eo, greg-OR-eo, or greg-o-REO?
