Second shooting for Mallory Torchio Photography.
It was a bright sunny day at Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards outside Terrebonne, Oregon for Mary and Garrett's wedding.
The day was filled with laughter, blue skys, wildflowers, and googly-eyed love. Garrett sported a navy suit with a pink neck tie, along with his groomsmen; while Mary wowed everyone in her art deco pattern beaded dress next to her bridesmaids who also wore navy. The couple let the natural scenery, as well as the lush landscaping, do most of the decorating for them. Adding only their reception tables with small centerpieces and strings of edison lights along the courtyard and dancefloor.
I can't wait for another round of warm days and long summer nights for this year's weddings.
Second Shooting for Stevi Sayler Photo.
Ally + Brent had a traditional service at the Historic Catholic Church in Downtown Bend on a blue bird fall day in October.
The bride looked stunning in an heirloom dress; while the groom sported a bold blue suit. Everything about the wedding was colorful from Ally's bouquet to the beautiful fall leaves.
After the service the newly weds leisurely made their way across the Old Mill to the Deschutes Brewery Mountain Room for their reception where friends and family waited to congratulate them.
Here are a few of my favorites from their day.
Second Shooting for Jessica of Lady J Memories.
Private residence weddings can be extra special because everything, including the venue, is personal and holds nostalgic value.
Sabra + Zayin tied the knot at her Aunt's property outside Tumalo in Central Oregon.
The whole day was a whirlwind of family, family, and more family. …here are some of my favorites from their day.
It was a scorching hot day for Hayley and Jordan's intimate wedding. We started at Ranch at the Canyons for getting ready, reception prep, and family time. Usually the anticipation is the worst part of any wedding day, but H+J had something extra special up their sleeves for us… a midday 104 degree hike up Misery Ridge at Smith Rock. lol! It actually wasn't so bad since we were constantly stopping to take portraits with some of the most gorgeous views in Central Oregon. Once we were at the top our biggest challenge was deciding which EPIC view to use for their backdrop! After a couple hours it was time for their ceremony at the small amphitheater at the north end of the park. Hayley's dog, Maybe, was dog of honor/flower dog and stole the show ALL. DAY. LONG. Jordan swept Hayley off her feet with a romantic dip for their kiss! The couple stopped by Base Camp Pizza in Terrebonne to pick up dinner for everyone that was waiting for them back at the ranch. A chill evening followed as the temps finally started to fall. Everyone enjoyed pizza, beer, doughnuts, yard games, and watching lizards run across the patio.
Second shooting for Stevi Sayler Photography.
I love it when weddings share so much tradition and culture.
Brandi & Reza had a blended American – Persian wedding at Zenith Vineyards on a cloudless summer day. Everything was rich with color, symbolism, and love as we explored and photographed the ceremony table. Most of the elements were there to express happiness, faith, sweetness, family, and good luck for the future. As the morning went on we learned that some of Reza's family – including his parents – were not able to be there because of the travel ban on people coming from Iran (and other countries). It cast a shadow of sadness over the day, but that didn't stop them from doing everything the could to include them. A small handful of guests were in charge of streaming the whole day so that his family could watch it all online.
Dispite missing family members everyone was full of laughter and ready to celebrate.
Both Brandi & Reza were emotional throughout the day… I'm a sucker for a teary groom. So when Brandi walked down the aisle with both her Father and Step-Dad on each side of her Reza was already primed for some tears; though nothing could have prepared him for his bride reading her vows to him in both English AND Persian. It was a beautiful surprise that brought EVERYONE to happy tears. They ended their ceremony with a kiss and by eating honey off each other's pinky fingers (sweet life & marriage).
Working with my photo-wife, Stevi, is always the highlight of my summer… especially since that's basically the only time we get to see each other during wedding season.
Some folks might say that it's impossible to have a romantic backyard wedding. Well those folks have clearly never been to Oregon; where backyards can be riverfront property and hold over 150 people who are going to dance the night away! The energy that normally would have gone into a venue instead went into thoughtful details, taking good care of their guests, and gifts for their wedding party – the guys all got fun socks that recalled something personal about them. Natalie + Scott were surrounded by multiple generations of family, friends, and farm land. My favorite part of the day was Natalie's laugh and smile… and the BBQ food-truck that served us all dinner.
Congratulations Natalie + Scott! Here are a few highlights from the day!
Second shooting for Gina Cholick.
It's that time of year where I get to share the photography from weddings that I was a second shooter for this past season. For those of you that aren't familiar, it has become increasingly common for a wedding photographer to bring on another professional to assist them on a wedding day. This has so many benefits to it and is absolutely worth the investment if it's not included in your photographer's service. The second shooter covers alternate angles during the ceremony, helps wrangle family and wedding party for portraits, will work with one of the partners while the primary photographer is with the other, shoots boat loads of candids and reaction photos while the formal portraits are happening, and fixes clothes, hair, makeup, etc. Sometime photographers will use the opportunity to second shoot to learn and gain experience in a highly competitive and high pressure field… personally I only use established professionals for second shooters, but will bring on an assistant or third shooter if someone reaches out to me. As an established professional myself, I really enjoy second shooting for other pros! It gives me an opportunity to make connections with other photographers, try new ideas/techniques, and sometimes diversify my portfolio.
Tim and Emily's wedding had a certain coziness to it. I'm not sure what it was exactly… but it felt extra welcoming and chillax.
Aspen Hall is a local event hall next door to one of Bend's larger city parks – Shevlin Park. The hall is surrounded by walking/hiking trails, a fishing pond, Tumalo Creek, and of course aspen trees. Tim and Emily had an outdoor ceremony under a rustic arbor decorated with flowers and greenery. Their indoor/outdoor reception was centered around the photo-booth, dance floor (indoor), and shaded bar (outdoor) featuring local Deschutes beer and custom pint glasses. Toward the end of the day we took advantage of a glowy sunset for some romantic post-ceremony portraits at a nearby overlook.
It was a double-header weekend in Southern Oregon as Stevi and I second'ed for each other on back-to-back weddings. My wedding with Rosie + Greg at Buckhorn Springs was first with a full fiesta theme at the rustic yoga retreat lodge. After most of the dancing died down I turned in so that I could be at the historic Ashland Springs Hotel downtown for Jenna + Andrew's elegant breakfast wedding bright and early. Admittedly we were both really excited by the concept of a morning wedding. The breeze was still cool, we had Lithia Park to ourselves, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. Their ceremony was held at the enclosed patio garden under a rose pergola in full bloom; literally surrounded by their loved ones Jenna + Andrew said I do.
One area of being a small business owner in a highly competitive field is knowing that you won't always win. …sometimes your photo-BFF will win and hire you as her second. Stevi and I each, along with a handful of other photographers, met with Azita + Evan while they were planning their wedding about being their photographer. For myself I met them at Off The Waffle in Eugene and we talked for like a million hours. There was so much laughter and connection; I thought for sure that I landed the job. Then I found out that they'd also met with Stevi and were having trouble choosing between the two of us. Now you might think that this would set off our inner competitive natures, but we were both so excited for each other and decided that either way we would hire each other so we could both be there.
It was a soggy afternoon in May, but Azita + Evan had all their little ducks in a row including a tent for the patio ceremony. Everything had a movie element from the red carpet and velvet ropes, to the romance movie cover table numbers complete with Azita + Evan photoshopped in as the main characters. lol! Azita danced her way up to Evan after walking down the aisle with the Dads inspiring everyone in the wedding party to start dancing. Yes! My favorite part of the whole day was the sheer amount of laughter over the course of the day! So. Much. Laughing!
Here are some of my favorites from their wedding at Lewis + Clark Hall in Eugene.
A small selection from another wedding that I second shot for Ashley Cook Photography last summer.
The little boys totally stole the show in their adorable red suspenders!

A story by Dave Logan, Chair of Parkinson's UK – Swindon & District Branch, who has lived with Parkinson's for sixteen years.
I have had Parkinson's for over 15 years and celebrated my 70th birthday this July. I have been lucky in that the progressive nature of my Parkinson's has been slow.
For this I am most grateful for the care I have received from the NHS, in particular Swindon Parkinson's Services at Great Western Hospitals.
I believe the advice given by my consultant of the importance of staying socially, mentally and physically active to be a main contributory factor towards how I am now.
Often going on holiday can mean your normal daily routine is neglected. Most of wife Daphne and my holidays are at or close to a beach. Even when visiting family in Detroit, we often visit the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan with their marvellous dunes.
One thing that is common to all is the drift wood found on all beaches, both large and small in size.
So what brought me to take up a new hobby or dare I say, a new art form?
On one visit to Grand Haven at Lake Michigan we went into a souviner shop and there my attention was drawn to drift wood art being sold as souviners. It took many forms and of various sizes. In particular I was drawn to boats and my passion for drift wood art awakened.
So now my multi-tooled Swiss army knife is an essential item for packing into my suitcase.
I now spend time walking the beach searching for pieces of drift wood to create a sailing boat. I have no pre-conseved plan of what I will create but do know what bits of drift wood to look for.
Rather than spending most of the time lying down reading my Kindle when not in the water having a swim I am being more active and exercising and also mentally active in my search for suitable pieces and then creating my next sailing boat.
The social side is taken care of in the bar, taverns and restaurants in the evenings or chatting when out of curiosity, people enquire as to what I am doing when that see me with my multi-tool and a piece of wood in my hands. This also exercises my hands which are affected by my Parkinson's, particularly my right hand which is the side of my body most affected.
I consider my creations art, others may not. The important thing is the mental stimulation.

Its all starting to sink in. This is really happening. We are really moving. Moving out of the DC area is something that both Adam and I have been wanting so eagerly for a long time but now that its here it feels as if I am standing on the door of an airplane about to be pushed out into my first skydive ever.
Moving to a new place is not a new concept for me but moving to a new place of our choosing is. The last time I had such a large move was from Caracas to the US but back then it felt as if I were going to the doctor's office to mend a dislocated shoulder and the doctor were speaking to me casually, asking me about my day and what my hobbies were. You know, casual… then the next thing you know "YANK!". The doctor pulls my arm and pops that baby back into place without me even knowing it was coming. Yes, that was what moving from Caracas to here felt like to me: quick and without me really knowing it was happening but so glad it did happen.
Moving is bittersweet because, although we are so very eager for change and know in our hearts this is the next correct step in our lives, it still means saying goodbye to a large part of our lives. We grew up here, even though we had separate paths for a good part of it. Our friends and family are still here, our favorite places, our first apartment, that place we went to on our first date, everything.
Today was one of those days where it felt very REAL and yet I felt like I was in a parallel universe. I have three work days left at the gym and to be honest, it has been one of my favorite jobs yet. Yes, there were days I was so frustrated I turned purple and almost threw in the towel (but lets be real here, every job has those moments) but all those other days where I met incredible people who just made my day brighter was worth the purple faced days 🙂 . For example, there is this incredible woman who walks up to complete strangers and hugs them and tells them they are wonderful. She was talking with this complete stranger and in the end she says "Come here honey" gives him a big hug and kiss on the cheek and tells him he is a wonderful person and wishes him a wonderful day. People like that are gems, I love her and have gotten many wonderful hugs from her. I've loved working with my team, they are my work family and will miss them dearly. I got this job at a time where I was very vulnerable and am grateful everyday to the manager who hired me because he helped me restore my confidence and by doing so it allowed for me to put the past behind me. I've been so incredibly happy these past few months soul searching, growing my blog and helping out financially with the bills. I am so eternally grateful to him for believing in me and seeing that I was more than a failed business owner with no gym experience (because that is what I felt like at that time… a failure) and I am also so very grateful to my husband for allowing me this freedom to grow and explore.
I know I will miss you terribly. Somehow Virginia seems to be so much closer than Colorado! I read these words a few days ago and I dedicate them to both of you: "I trust that all is unfolding for my highest good. Love and light fill my heart. I give thanks for the blessings I receive. Every ending marks a new beginning. All lives eternally in my heart." A new adventure begins and Virginia will always stay in your heart.
I am DEFINITELY going to miss you guys. I am going to miss taking road trips down after work to see you but now they will be plane trips 🙂 I am glad that Frontier has direct flights to Greensboro because that will make visiting so much faster and easier 😀 Thank you for the quote. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving!
Thank you Kirsten 🙂 I appreciate it. You are right, as long as Adam (and the Kitties) are with us we are good but none the less I still have all these feelings. I am also VERY excited to share photos and posts from our move 😀 Thank you for commenting!
Anna, we miss you at the gym. During water aerobics, your mother-in-law and I commiserate about our kids moving to Colorado but we know it's the right thing and a great opportunity for you. I'll keep my eyes open for you whenever I'm in CO..
Hi Ms. Carol!!! Thank you so much for your comment! Sorry for the late reply, I arrived at my new home last night so I am finally catching up on e-mails and such. I miss you too!!!! Please do let me know when you come out to CO and we can grab lunch or a cup of coffee!! Happy Holidays!

Muslims in Russia
Mosque and state
Tsarist Russia used Muslim notables to shore up the state. Despite the Chechen war, a similar entente is not inconceivable, even now
WHEN the ruler of a multinational empire bases his authority on one great religion, how many other religions can the empire—and indeed, the emperor—accommodate, and then turn into an instrument of power? The Ottoman sultans, when faced with this question, found a ready-made answer in Islamic theology. As "people of the book" with common roots in the holy texts of the Abrahamic tradition, Christians and Jews were to be treated with respect—though not on a par with followers of the predominant Muslim faith—so long as they remained loyal to the empire.
The Russian tsars, who derived a big part of their mystique and authority from being anointed Christian monarchs—indeed, the only Orthodox Christian emperors in the world after the fall of Byzantium—faced a similar dilemma: how to present themselves, and legitimise their realm, in the eyes of their Muslim subjects.
To the discomfiture of the Russian Orthodox clergy, the Tsarist regime's response was pragmatic; it had no qualms about demanding loyalty from Muslims in the name of Allah and his Prophet. In the 1860s, when Russian commanders swept through Central Asia, they skilfully played the Muslim card.
The Russian authorities knew they had to compete for the loyalty of their Muslim subjects against rival powers which were part of Dar al-Islam, the area where Islam prevailed. In this task repression alone would not suffice. The Russian state felt it must co-operate actively with at least some Muslim leaders in support of commonly agreed goals, such as social peace and respect for family obligations.
The attractions of a concordat between Russian nationalists and Muslims are still a factor in the Kremlin's calculations, even in a Russia which this week was rejoicing over the assassination of a Muslim Chechen warlord, Shamil Basayev (see article). To this day there are some Muslim leaders in Russia, such as Talgat Tajuddin, the mufti pictured above with President Vladimir Putin, who are ready to line up with conservative Russian nationalists against things they all dislike—such as American policy or gay rights.
In tsarist times, as a new book by an American historian, Robert Crews, demonstrates, the Russians were even more single-minded in wooing Muslim notables. Soon after capturing Tashkent, General Mikhail Chernyayev entered an elaborate compact with local religious scholars, guaranteeing to uphold their authority, and that of other Muslim institutions, such as mosques and charities. In return, the greybeards had to deliver the loyalty of local people.
The repeated clashes between the Russian and Ottoman empires are sometimes portrayed as a classic "civilisational" war which pitted Christianity against Islam—with the result that every territorial adjustment prompted mass migrations by Christians and Muslims left on the "wrong" side of a new border. But that is not the whole story of Russia's southward expansion, says Mr Crews. Imam Shamil, the legendary leader of Chechen resistance to the tsars, had local Muslim enemies as well as Russian ones; and some Muslims fought on the Russian side.
Creating a Muslim hierarchy
As Mr Crews argues in his original and insightful book, the compact between tsarist and Islamist authority was deep and elaborate. As in most forms of theocracy, the Russian regime not merely tolerated the clerical elite; it shored up the elite by helping it to fight heresy and uphold sharia law. Given that Sunni (unlike Shia) Islam lacks a formal clerical structure, the Russians sometimes had to coax one into existence by boosting the authority of their favourites. But enforcement of the law, as the book shows, could not always be left to Islamic judges. Representatives of the Russian state often found themselves adjudicating (in strictly Islamic terms) the grievances of their Muslim subjects.
Mr Crews's research, much of it conducted in the newly accessible archives of provincial Russian places such as Ufa and Kazan, is of huge relevance to the present day. Although modern Russia has a secular constitution, not a theocratic one, some elements of the old relationship between the state and Russian Orthodoxy are being rebuilt. But from the state's point of view, there is a dilemma: how far can the compact with Orthodoxy go without precluding a similar one with the Russian Federation's 15m or so Muslim subjects?
The idea of some entente between modern Russian nationalism and Russian Muslims is not as absurd as it seems. Among the ideologues of neo-nationalism in Russia, there have been several figures of Muslim-Tatar background who subscribe to the ideal of a Eurasian or "Slavic-Turkic" union—roughly coinciding with the Soviet Union—whose common enemy is global, or Anglo-Saxon, capitalism.
But in other moods, contemporary Russian nationalism is stridently anti-Muslim. At least some of the time, the Russian Orthodox hierarchy portrays the war in Chechnya as a crusade against resurgent Islam—and similar rhetoric can be heard from the Russian state. But is it in Russia's interest to call the Chechen war a "civilisational" one, when that could alienate so many Muslims who live deep in the Slavic heartland? Russians, including Russian Muslims, are already arguing on this very point, and will continue to do so.

I never find much to agree with when Mr Blair speaks, but this I do agree.
People need to be aware of this growing link.
Can you imagine when I was leader of the Labour Party having a conversation with me about whether antisemitism was in the Labour Party or not?" he asked. "We wouldn't even have that conversation and there is, I'm afraid, a nascent alliance between what I would call bits of the sort of Islamist type of politics and the left.
We know this already. Most of the left are losers.
What would that be? a few yokels talking about master races? those types of people hate all other races equally not just Jews specifically.
Nazi's were socialists, collectivists, authoritarians, controlled education (brainwashed kids through Hitler youth), controlled the media for propaganda purposes, colluded with business/corporations to help them achieve their goals, hated Jews specfiically for economic/political reasons, had no interest in maintaining national borders across Europe.
the Nazis eliminated individual freedoms and pronounced the creation of a Volk Community (Volksgemeinschaft)—a society which would, in theory, transcend class and religious differences.
So.. does all of this sound like todays political left or right? I'll give you a clue most of todays 'right' are staunch supporters of individual freedoms under the law over collectivist/social media consencus/whatever we believe is a fact and anyone who disagrees is evil nonsense.
Anti-semitism is on the left because that is where it has always been, you can't support collectivist policies and not hate a group of people who are probably the most successful capitalists in history.
Most of the right are losers, see i can do it too. Oh **** it's a labrat thread, nevermind.
Only one of the statements is true though. The left really are mostly losers. That's why they sympathise with socialist views - socialism gives them stuff they couldn't be bothered to work for.
They will do anything to get in to power, then everyone regrets it.
Antisemitism usually runs deep in socialism/communism.
Ironically, Islam is about as conservative as it gets. It's very far from liberal.
Only one of the statements is true though. The left really are mostly losers.
That's factually incorrect, economically on both sides of that coin the vast majority are losers, politically are losers because the West is currently unable to function correctly and socially (dependent on how intelligent they are) are losers because they are tribal to the point that it'd be easier to reset everything.
Resident anarchist libertarian actually, m'dowie.
Well one of his statements is factually correct and no it's nothing to do with directions either .
Can you imagine when I was leader of the Labour Party?
Not really, no; it always seems like a very bad dream.
As to claims of Anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, it is probably 99% (maybe more) a response to Jeremy Corbyn's long-term support of the Palestinians and the theft of their land.
His statement is correct though. Yours isn't.
Prove it, hombre, and dont do what commies do, ignoring realistic examples, use the great right wing gifts to the world, Trump and May's governments, such beacons of the gilded right wing purity. Inb4 Venezuelalol.
No. I don't care enough. I can say however that every leftie I've met all tick certain boxes and these all make them losers who want to do as little as possible and ride on the coat tails of others. The very definition of losers.
The left (of all spectrums) courts Islam like it's some sort of ally. It's totally nonsensical in every plausible way.

Italian Exhibition Group open Ecomondo & Key Energy in Rimini, Italy
Posted: November 6, 2019 at 4:14 pm / by Energy Egypt / comments (0)
tags: Ecomondo, Egypt, Europe, Italy, Key Energy, Mediterranean, Middle East, North Africa, Renewable energy, Technology
Italian Minister for the Environment Costa: "Ecomondo is the most important Green Ecology Show in the World".
Also representing the Government, Riccardo Fraccaro, Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, and Antonio Misiani, Undersecretary for Economy and Finance; Message from Stefano Patuanelli, Minister for Economic Development.
From new models of circular economy development to technological solutions for managing and protecting resources. ECOMONDO and KEY ENERGY, alongside DPE and SAL.VE, opened their doors at Rimini Expo Centre to generate Italian Exhibition Group's vast international platform aimed at favouring the growth of an innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem, the only one able to lead to building a more sustainable future.
Covering all the Expo Centre's 129,000 square metres, 1,300 companies from 30 different countries are in attendance at Ecomondo, Europe's number one circular and green economy event, Key Energy, the renewable energy show and Sal.Ve., the biennial Environmental Motor Show, which are also being joined by the first edition of DPE – Distributed Power Europe, an event dedicated to power generation.
The opening ceremony was held this morning in the South Hall. Entrusted to Sergio Costa, Minister for the Environment and the Protection of the Territory and Sea, the event was also attended by Riccardo Fraccaro, Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Antonio Misiani, Undersecretary for Economy and Finance, Paola Gazzolo, Emilia-Romagna Regional Councillor for Environmental Policies, Anna Montini, Rimini's Councillor for the Environment and Lorenzo Cagnoni, President of Italian Exhibition Group,.
In his introductory speech, the latter explained how "we have perceived and consolidated today's highly topical themes ahead of time here. It is what European exhibition leaders, like Ecomondo, are supposed to do."
Councillor Montini recalled Rimini's efforts on the environmental front: "The Optimized Bathing Conservation Plan to protect our sea is a crowning achievement. In Rimini, the sea is synonymous of environment and economy. And here we have a clear example of how these two aspects can co-exist."
In Regional Councillor Gazzolo's opinion: "We are in the land of sustainability, a land that proves how good sustainability can be done. And here we are at a highly important international event where it is interesting to see how many good practices there are around us."
Undersecretary Antonio Misiani wanted to pay his compliments to Italian Exhibition Group: "Thanks go to the Ecomondo team: you create attention and give visibility to the Green and Circular Economy sector, which is not only one of Italy's first-rate sectors, but also places our country in a position of leadership on a European scale. The first real hope for economic recovery and for the creation of new enterprises."
According to Undersecretary Riccardo Fraccaro "The Green New Deal has finally been included in the last budget law. If we can manage to impose the Green Rule in Europe, we will be able to recreate that lost European dream, address the new generations and practice economy because the most important aspect is that now, as never before, economy, growth and development coincide with sustainability."
Minister Costa concluded: "It is with enormous Italian pride that I am here, for the second time, to inaugurate Ecomondo, the most important green economy and environmental technology show in the world that is getting bigger every year. It means that Italy is there on the international panorama, and not just in terms of Europe. Ecomondo is the place for dialogue and confrontation and, as the Minister for the Environment, I am here to speak not only in formal but also in substantial terms, by going round the stands, conversing with the companies, in order to create together a vision in which economy and environment can grow in unison."
The Minister for Economic Development, Stefano Patuanelli, also gave an articulate greeting centred on the renewable world.
The opening ceremony was followed by the General Situations of the Green Economy, this year entitled Green New Deal and the climate challenge: objectives and itinerary until 2030, where ideas and proposals are bound to emerge to support and encourage a change that aims to sizably cut greenhouse gas emissions and launch new development and new jobs. Opening the work was Edo Ronchi from the National Green Economy Council.
The four days of the show offer a full programme of international seminars organized by scientific committees under the guidance of Fabio Fava (Ecomondo) and Gianni Silvestrini (Key Energy), with over one thousand speakers.
(Ecomondo Press Release)


This past Saturday, 10 June, I had to be at a meeting near Newburgh at 11 AM. Newburgh is a little over an hour north of New York City so I figured I could get a visit in to a few great locations for breeding birds that I hadn't yet seen this year. One of those spots, Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge in Ulster County, was hosting a couple really cool birds for New York State so I was eagerly anticipating stopping in to see them.
Bobolinks are among the best of the icterids. And that's saying something! A song that sounds like R2-D2 on crystal meth just adds to the appeal.
On the short drive in to the main refuge parking lot I had already spotted Purple Martins checking out the new nest box, an Eastern Bluebird, and a host of Bobolinks. Once I stepped out of the car the sightings piled up quickly: Grasshopper Sparrow, American Kestrel, Savannah Sparrow, Willow Flycatcher, Eastern Meadowlark.
The sweet song of Eastern Meadowlarks is pleasant enough. Add their snazzy appearance and this is another of my favorite icterids.
But there were even cooler birds to see! Well, cooler in terms of the lack of frequency that they turn up for New York birders in New York. A couple of weeks before my visit, a singing Dickcissel had been found out near a blind in the grasslands. And then, only a few yards away, a Henslow's Sparrow was found singing as well. So far as I know Dickcissels haven't ever bred at Shawangunk and its been nearly thirty years since Henslow's Sparrows were found there. I had really wanted to get to the grasslands but life (and puffins) had forced me to wait. Would the birds still be there?
Henslow's Sparrows are awesome birds and I had never had looks like this before.
I shouldn't have worried. Both birds were present and easy to find, considering that they were singing loudly and continuously. The only downside to my time with them is that the sun disappeared behind the clouds as soon as I arrived in their territory and didn't come back out until I had left them. But, despite the sun not cooperating, the birds certainly did!
Though the Dickcissel is the star of this video I like that you can hear the "t-d-lisk" of the Henslow's Sparrow (to say nothing of a Bobolink).
It was also nice to meet Joshua Malbin and Jim Clinton, two birders that I had somehow never met in the field, and enjoy such a great pair of birds for New York. How astounding is it that we could watch one of these birds, turn around 180 degrees, and watch the other? It was a grassland extravaganza!
It's hard to believe that Henslow's Sparrows put so much effort into belting out such a weak song, though it carried a surprising distance over the grasslands.
Here's hoping both birds manage to find a mate. They certainly are putting the effort into attracting one!
Joshua and I made the effort to find Upland Sandpipers in another part of the preserve as well but we had no luck which was a bit of bummer. But it was hard to be too upset after seeing these New York rarities so well and at the same time! I have to say that Shawangunk continues to amaze and it is entirely due to the excellent habitat which has been carefully curated over the decades, but particularly since they removed the runways from this long-defunct airport.
If you're going to look for these birds you better do so very soon. They are going to stop mowing the path that leads to the blind to give these potential rare-for-New York breeders an uninterrupted shot at reproducing. Walking at the grasslands on Saturday on mowed trails led to me pulling three dog ticks off and I can't imagine how many you would get if you were off trail. It would be horrifying!


The most common types of headache are migraines and tension headaches. Other types of headaches include cluster and rebound headaches.
Most people describe a tension headache as a constant, dull, achy feeling on both sides of the head, or like a band around the head. Some people who have tension headaches also have a tight feeling in their jaw or neck muscles. Tension headaches usually begin slowly and gradually. They often start in the middle of the day.
Another name for this type of headache is "stress headache." When people say they have a stress headache, they usually mean they have a tension headache. Tension headaches may be mild or severe.
The most common treatments for headaches are rest and over-the-counter pain relievers. These include aspirin, acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol), ibuprofen (one brand name: Motrin) and naproxen (one brand name: Aleve).
When choosing an over-the-counter pain reliever, check the label for possible side effects or interactions with other medicines you are taking. Always read and follow the directions on the label carefully. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Keep in mind that children should not take aspirin. Aspirin can cause a serious illness called Reye's syndrome in children younger than 18 years of age.
It's best to treat headaches when they begin and are still mild–before they get more painful. If these common treatments don't work, talk to your family doctor. He or she can prescribe medicine that might help relieve your headaches.

I've just read, in only a couple of sittings, the new book by pollster Deborah Mattinson, Talking to a Brick Wall. A fascinating and readable account of New Labour's rise and fall, seen through the eyes of swing voters in focus groups.
Mattinson was there when all the big decisions were made, and the book is a gratifyingly intimate portrayal of the Blair-Brown-Mandelson psychodrama. More importantly, though, it's an all-too-rare insight into the minds of Middle Englanders.
The book has really made me think about how we talk to people about climate change and environment, and the link to politics. Mattinson's account confirms something we all already know – that there is a mile-wide gulf between the language and outlook of environmentalists and the swing voters of Harlow. The 'squeezed middle' voters in marginal seats like Harlow (which switched from Labour to Tory in May) care about their families, worry about their jobs and aspire to a better future. But they have trouble seeing the relevance of politics to their everyday lives, have little respect for politicians, and understandably find it hard to get their heads around abstract issues like interest rates or tax thresholds (let alone the IPCC's probabilistic accounts of climate change scenarios to 2050).
So it's tempting to take from Mattinson the lesson that you can only engage people on things that are readily understandable, and affect the lives of them and their families in the short term. That the only way to deal with difficult global issues like climate change is to smuggle them into a simple story about immediate improvements for immediate family.
Certainly, any attempts to de-jargonise our message, and render it less pessimistic, has to be a good thing. The brilliant people at Futerra, for example, have clever ways of communicating difficult things simply and positively.
But there's a deeper message that Mattinson ends with. She describes 'Peter Pan' syndrome, in which politicians tell people what they want to hear – that, thanks to some magical sleight of hand, you can have better public services and lower taxes, for example. This infantilises the voter, and prevents them facing up to difficult choices or taking responsibility. I see a lot of this in attempts at environmental engagement. I think we owe it to people to tell them the truth about climate change, and the difficult choices involved, rather than dressing it all up in a breathless win-win narrative about green growth and quality of life.


FOUR years, three generations, and one great big success – Hutchinson Hobbs Farm Shop & Butchers, at Castlelevington, near Yarm, is going from strength to strength and has just been named Small Farm Shop of the Year by the Farm Retail Association.
Barry Hutchinson and Jenny –nee Hobbs, hence the shop's name – and Barry's parents, Alan and Anita are local families with a strong farming background. They opened the business on May Bank holiday weekend in 2015 and say it's has been an exciting adventure ever since. But they are keen that their whole team get the credit for their success. "We are all delighted with the award," says Jenny. "It's a real team effort."
Barry and Jenny's children, Jessica and Katie, have also been very involved in the business right from the start too, helping to choose the kids' shopping trolleys and the toys for the the picnic area. Jessica even came up with the grand design of the "little pink tractor", the business logo.
The shop is a shining example of how delicious food can be sourced direct from local farms, reducing food miles whilst improving quality, provenance and sustainability within a community. It might mean eating a little more seasonally, but that's no hardship when the food is bursting with flavour.
Barry and Alan head up the butchery side, which makes up about 60 per cent of the business. They cure and smoke their own bacon and hams and carry a full range of sustainably sourced free-range chicken. All the sausages, burgers and processed meats are produced in-house, all the beef and lamb is grass-fed and dry aged.Unlike supermarket butcheries, they pride themselves on providing a full carcase experience, with all cuts of meat, including offal.
Alan, who was a dairy and beef farmer most of his life, has a good relationship with the local farmers and personally selects the animals for the butchery, ensuring the welfare standards of all their animals are to the highest possible standard. Barry manages the butchery and wholesale trade, making sure customers - which include local pubs, village shops and independent caterers - are given a fantastic service and the best quality meat.
also sells a range of flours, eggs, pasta, sweets, chocolates and crisps. Oh, and stuff that's good for you, too, a fantastic array of salads, vegetables and fruit, most seasonal and from local suppliers.
Which all leaves them very little time to celebrate their win, but if they do find a moment, they could just sidle into the drinks section and pick up a bottle from the large selection stock. Cheers!


After beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 on Sunday, July 15th, the Boston Red Sox now have their biggest lead over the 2nd place New York Yankees, up 4.5 games as the Yankees lost to Cleveland 5-2. The Red Sox enter the All Star break with a record of 68-30.
After hitting a grand slam walk-off homer on Saturday, Xander Bogaerts hit a solo homer in his 1st at bat on Sunday, his 16th of the season, the most of any Red Sox shortstop before the All-Star break since Rico Petrocelli hit 25 back in 1969.
Brock Holt was 2-3 with 2 runs batted in with a pair of RBI singles.
The Red Sox activated Brian Johnson from the disabled list prior to the game, placing Eduardo Rodriguez on the 10 day disabled list with a sprained ankle. Johnson went 4.2 innings allowing 2 hits and 2 earned runs. He struck out 5 and walked 4.
Craig Kimbrel pitched the 9th inning, retiring the side in order, with 2 strikeouts and earned his 30th save of the season.
The Red Sox are now off until Friday, July 20th when they will open a 3 game series at Detroit against the Tigers. The pregame on the 20th will start at 6:25 and 1st pitch at 7:10 on AM 1370 WDEA.


People in church always act funny when you talk about money. This is the point in my blog when I make it clear that I am only addressing church folk. If you don't have a relationship with Christ, then the following excludes you. We have way bigger concerns for you than finances, and quite honestly, your money is the last thing we want.
But for those who claim the name of Jesus, we are commanded to be generous, and to trust God in our finances. Jesus taught us that "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." God tells us that there is a direct relationship between our heart and our wallet. I can likely guess what you value most with a high degree of accuracy just by glancing over your bank statement. What we are asking is, for our church to increase our giving by 1%. For most of us, that means an increase in giving of $2-$10/week.
Statistically speaking, only about 3% of church goers tithe. That's it. One of the most fundamental acts of worship, showing gratitude to God for providing for our needs, and demonstrating faith that He will continue to provide, and less than 1 out of 20 Christians are being obedient… We're better than that, church!
We're not pushing this challenge because we want something from you. Jesus promised that He would build His church. He is ultimately responsible for meeting the needs in the church, just as He is in your home. So the churches financial needs are going to get met with or without my giving or yours. We're challenging our church to do this because we want something for you. We want you to experience the fullness of living by faith and seeing God come through for you. We want you to experience the power of relying on God more than 1/10 of your paycheck.
We did happen to notice that there is a recession going on. We know that many people have cut back or completely cut out giving to church as a result of lost hours, wages, and jobs. What better time and opportunity to reach out to God and find that He is enough… just like He promised He would be. You say that you trust Jesus with your soul and eternity. Doesn't it make sense that He can handle your offerings as well.
My wife and I went through an intense time of testing a few years ago. Financially, we were strapped. But we were able to experience that God was faithful even when we had a mortgage, 4 mouths to feed, and no clue where our next paycheck would come from. So from experience I'm telling you: God can make 90% of your income go much further than you can make 100%.
For some of you, this challenge means that you take a baby step and simply start to give something. For others, you have been trusting God with your tithes, and this is less of a challenge for you. Regardless of where this challenge hits you, be obedient to what God is calling you to do. Together, through our generosity, we can change the world.

At the Edge of No Return, psychological suspense—thriller, brings four characters to the edge of falling toward darkness or light. Has Elvis Colt, a serial killer, rolled the dice too many times; the Reverend William Meeks lost any chance for salvation; Jack Goodman, forever stuck at Horizon's End, and behavior psychologist Dr. Georgia Jeningson making a fatal decision when trying to right a wrong which can never be taken back? This novel explores how quantum choices given at birth determine a leap of destiny. At the Edge of No Return offers more than just another story of murder, vengeance, and love lost. The novel explores what can take all of us to the edge.
I chose to review this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions are my own and unbiased. I've read several books by this author so I was happy to read At the Edge of No Return.
The story takes place in the small coastal town of Seaward. It begins with Reverend Meeks murdering his wife. At first, he seems evil but is he or is he mentally ill? Dr. Georgia Jeningson would know. She has just moved into town to hide from a serial killer who killed her husband and is looking for her. Her new home is being haunted by Jack, the man who built the house. For some reason, he's stuck in Seaward and doesn't like anyone moving into the house.
All of these characters are loosely tied together in an inventive way. There is murder, mystery, and suspense around every corner. Jack also brings a little humor into situations at times. It would have been a little more suspenseful for me if Georgia had done less pondering.
At the Edge of No Return was an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading the next book.

Breitbart Releases Audio of Ryan Abandoning Trump: 'I Am Not Going to Defend Donald Trump'
Outside Source
On a never-before-released private October conference call with House Republican members, House Speaker Paul Ryan told his members in the U.S. House of Representatives he was abandoning then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump forever and would never defend him ever again.
In the Oct. 10, 2016 call, from right after the Access Hollywood tape of Trump was leaked in the weeks leading up to the election, Ryan does not specify that he will never defend Trump on just the Access Hollywood tape—he says clearly he is done with Trump altogether.
"I am not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future," Ryan says in the audio, obtained by Breitbart News and published here for the first time ever.
'Scheduled for EXECUTION': Unvaxxed COVID patient flown to Texas after being denied life-saving care in Minnesota
Scott Quiner was transferred over the weekend to a hospital in Texas after doctors in Minnesota threated to terminate life support measures as he battled severe complications from COVID-19. Scott's wife, Anne Quiner, appealed to the courts for a restraining order to prevent the hospital from pulling the plug as she sought a new facility to provide medical care for her husband. Scott was unvaccinated when he tested positive for COVID-19 in late October, 2021.
Anne and her attorney Marjorie Holsten joined "The Glenn Beck Program" Thursday to describe their frantic efforts to halt the hospital's decision to turn off Scott's life support — allegedly because he was unvaccinated — and just how difficult it was to get him the medical treatment he needed.
"It was absolutely stunning," Holsten told Glenn. "[Anne] came in and she has this order, I saw the screenshot from the [online medical] chart that said [Scott] is basically scheduled for execution at noon the following day."
According to Holsten, the Minnesota hospital responded to her appeal for a restraining order by claiming that the "position" to keep Scott alive "is not supported by medical science or Minnesota law. As a result, Mercy will ask the court to issue an order that Mercy has the authority to discontinue Mr. Quiner's ventilator and proceed with his medical care plan."
"The 'medical care plan' was the plan to discontinue the ventilator at noon, which leads to death very shortly. So that was at 10 o'clock, but then at 11 o'clock, before the 12 o'clock execution, the judge did, in fact, sign an order saying the hospital is restrained from pulling the plug," she added.
Anne told Glenn that doctors in Texas were shocked by Scott's condition after he arrived from the Minnesota hospital. Not only had he been given dangerous drugs, he was also found to be "severely malnourished."
"The doctor [in Texas] spent two hours with Scott and when he came back out, he said, 'I don't know how he even made it, how he even survived that other hospital ... but I will do everything I can to try to save his life,'" Anne explained.
"And the doctor [in Texas] said Scott was the most undernourished patient he has ever seen," Holsten added.
"Glenn, we are first bringing this battle to the court of public opinion," Holsten continued. "What we are showing the world is that Scott was near death because of the protocols used in that [Minnesota] hospital, but now he is recovering. He is getting better.... Now, we're not planning a funeral, we're planning for his release."

WATCH: The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st-Century Fascism
The Great Reset is not just an elitist idea — it's not even a socialist utopian concept. It's a real-world fascist threat to every American from Wall Street to Main Street. It's happening now in policies and cultural shifts big and small, obvious and subtle, from environmental promises to corporations going woke. But the mainstream media, global elites, and politicians brushed off the Great Reset as "nothing to see here." Another myth they push: "The World Economic Forum is just a conference for elites who have no REAL power."
Glenn Beck first exposed the Great Reset almost two years ago, and the globalist cries of "conspiracy theorist" soon followed. They said he believed the WEF was a "master cabal calling the shots from some evil underground lair." But Glenn Beck never said that. Instead, he uncovered the true intentions of global leaders in finance and politics by simply highlighting their own words.
This week, the same global elites are doubling down on their agenda at the World Economic Forum's Davos Agenda virtual event. But still, the global elites — like Twitter's Jack Dorsey — are trying to downplay the WEF's influence to stop people like us from interfering with their plans. The oligarchy will prosper in the new world order they've designed. You will not.
So Glenn unveils a master chalkboard based on his best-selling new book to outline the threats from globalists and why we must stop their agenda if we hope to keep the precious freedoms we still have.

Perhaps I am better at making railways than working out how to post photos on the forum!
So while you are all swanning about on the newly opened Broads, I am still stuck here in France. Actually it's not that bad - at least going for a beer in the local bar is still a perfectly normal activity!
I thought you would like a quick update on progress so far -
The profile of the scenery is now a lot less steep than it was but I think the slope from front to back adds a lot of realism, rather than everything on one flat board as I have often seen on railway layouts. The road surface is tile cement, to give it some texture and then coloured in thin poster paint. It is still too light at the moment and I will darken it down a bit, but 1950s type asphalt on a model is not black : it is light grey.
There will be another layer of thin Polyfilla which will cover over the cobblestones on the level crossing, leaving just a few showing through, where vehicles have worn the asphalt away
The crossing keeper's cottage will now be on the other side of the road. This will leave room for typical Norfolk flint and pantile outbuildings in the pub yard and a lot more room for the crossing keeper's garden!
The pub is just a cardboard mock up, made to scale, to see how it fits into the scenery. The slope in the ground is the same as on the real building, which is the King's Head at Hethersett. That pub is built in whitewashed brick with pantile rooves but I am thinking it would look rather nice in Norfolk knapped flint, typical of the area.
You have to use a lot of imagination at this stage as there are no grass banks, hedges, fences, gates, bridle-paths or trees. Nor are there any puddles or vehicle tracks in the side roads.
All that is to come!

I thought you might like an up-date on what I have been up to in the garage this summer! I thought it was time I started to make a layout, although I will have nowhere in the house big enough for
So here I am, "locked down" in the garage with all the time in the world to do some railway modelling! It doesn't seem as though I have done that much since the last photos but it has needed a lot of

Absolutely fantastic. How you have the patience I do not know. Or indeed the knowledge of where to start. Indeed the vision to achieve the final outcome. Thanks for sharing. May I also include Grendle and Mr Q, for their contribution to Norfolk modelling.
It's been a while since I posted an update, as I have been busy on some fine detail!
The mock up of the pub has now become the actual model :
The shell of the building is thick card, used for mounting picture frames. The flint paper and brick paper is from a company called Scale Model Scenery and the pantiles are from Wills and Slaters plastic sheets. All the rest is hand made including the window frames.
The centre window is modelled as a genuine sash window in two separate layers but it took so long to make it that I didn't really think it was worth it, in such a small scale!
There is a long way to go yet! Now that it is seated into the baseboard, it needs gutters and downpipes. Also concrete steps to the front doors. Then a lot of weathering, to make it look very old, instead of brand new.
There will be an extension at the back for the new ladies and gents' toilets. Quite a luxury, for a country pub of the 1950s! There will be a back yard with flint walled outbuildings, a car park and a garden. At the front, the main road going by, with perhaps some garden seats, a telephone box, and a bus stop.
Susie is also insisting on climbing roses, a bit of wisteria and some hanging baskets. So some way to go yet!
Materials have probably cost around £20 as I had a lot of stuff already in stock. Labour hours? No idea, but perhaps around 180, plus all the googling and researching old books.
It will of course need an Austin Healey outside the front door.

Being born a bit after the Beeching era and having very minor memories of redundant railways being turned into bypasses, North Walsham at the briggate end I can remember a road roller in the distance once before opening as my great aunt drove me,in the Wolseley equivalent of the landcrab, to Walsham sweet shop then mundesley hospital to pick up her lodger, 1975 maybe. For me it has always been about the infrastructure which survived viz the beautiful Victorian station houses, Knapton & Overstrand, and the crossing cottages e.g. honing, stepping stone lane, and the two on the Potter strait, broads shed on the riverbank in appearance perhaps but in keeping. I was shocked when my elder sister told me that someone had died when they blew up one of the old railway bridges in 'Walsham to build the bypass junction. To think that risk of death was acceptable from construction operations as recently as that took me aback.
If you run out of track Vaughan it would be lovely to see some overgrown track bed and a nod toward current uses of the old buildings left behind.
The KH looks great, I have been there once about 15=P years ago, real local pub.

As far as the window is concerned I would say it was worth it. You challenged yourself and won.
Presumably you won't need socially distanced greenhouses and table service ?

That had occurred to me! This is one pub that will stay open regardless of hours, or any other pettifogging regulations.
Just as the real thing no doubt did, in the 1950s!

I thought in the 1950s all the pubs outside of London were only allowed to open for eight hours a day mid week starting no earlier than eleven in the morning, with an enforced two hour close before the evening session which ended at ten o'clock prompt...pursuant to the 1921 Licensing Act...of course...lock in's excluded! But...I'm way too young to remember the 1950's!
They were good days. Once the village policeman had finished his shift he would pop in for a swifty. A night cap. The lights were dimmed, the door was bolted. You were in a safe place.

It used to be fun in Ipswich in the early '70s, town pubs closed at 10:30, country ones at 11:00. It was possible (I was told) to get a pint at last orders in town, neck it, then thrash out to a certain country pub before last orders was called there. If more than half a dozen were in a lock in would then ensue. At about 2:30 the village bobby would lean his bicycle against the empties 'out the back' where our bikes were, stroll into behind the bar, scoop up the large rum left for him and suggest we might like to go home, remembering to throttle down past Granny Crabby's cottage at the crossroads. Happy days!

Broadland MRC reopened a couple of weeks ago, luckily we rent the building and so can come and go as we please. So most nights there are socially distanced groups of up to 6 in attendance. All sticking to their group..
So Friday we had 3 in, all working on different layouts, two more should join in next week after their Holidays elsewhere.
In the days the Swan Inn in Horning was still a pub and not a restaurant that serves beer. I can remember a few lock ins there..
I don't know if it's true or not but I was once told by a friend at RAF Coltishall that if the Cold War had turned nasty and they ever had to put that radar at Neatishead on full power, it would have blown out the cathode ray tubes in every television in north Norfolk.
Very glad to hear that the club is still functioning!
Not quite true as once a month, we actually did do a full power run at Neatishead, normally at stupid O'clock in the morning. It wouldn't have blown the tubes, it would have severely interfered with reception.
The T 85 At full power with everything fully tuned to max could put out 60 M Watts, we normally only ran on 2 of the 12 transmitters though..
The T84 at max power was only 5 M Watts,
The HF200 nodding Height finders were only, 2.5 M Watts.
As it was on Normal power I lived a mile away on the back road to Hoveton, and it interfered with my cassette deck.
After Neatishead I was Posted to work on the T88 /T89 radars essentially a mobile T84 on the back of an Artic and it's sister height finder. There the Tea Bar was lined with tinfoil connected to earth and painted over as the radar would blow up the TV's Electronics. Luckily by careful positioning of the TV we could get it to see the TV Transmitter on Clettraval but be shielded from the radar..
We could see the Clettraval Transmitter from the base, you only needed a 2 inch piece of wire in the TV aerial socket to get a picture!!
The electronics store room there was less than 100 ft from the radar transmitter and the fluorescent tubes used to come on as the radar swept through
I remember the effect that a warship's air search radar could have on a stereo cassette player, if you were on another ship moored nearby.
Also why the officer of the watch would have to have a board in his possession on the bridge, which physically switched the radar off, before anyone was allowed to climb the masts.
Oh yes , anyone visiting Neatishead and the other sites, that were likely to go above ground level had to visit the control room for a briefing, for which they signed.
It didn't work all the time though, we had painters in and one came in for the sign on next day. The other went directly to the aerial, one of the nodding height finders. He climbed the Aerial without permission. Anyone could have pressed an operate button and thrown him off, and those radars still transmitted when parked. So he was heavily radiated..

Was the same in Somerset around 2001 when I lived there, if the police walked in from the back yard with their caps under their arms then all was well.
Sorry - tried to link something but failed!
Ok I'll give a link.. to a virtual model railway show... Now these guys are good.. almost to Vaughan's Standard..
https://www.scaleforum.org/layouts/
oh and another one
Now that we are all back in a lockdown again, perhaps it is time for an up-date!
Notice that the pub now has gutters and downpipes, which make a big difference. The road surface is some kind of casting sand, given to me by a modelling neighbour, and makes a good imitation of asphalt, when sprinkled over PVA glue. The colour is toned down at the verges with brown poster paint and an airbrush. That telephone box seems to jump about a bit whenever I take a photo but I am sure it will find a permanent home one day!
In the foreground will be a country triangular road junction with an old fashioned sign post in the middle. To the right, I am thinking of a small village garage with a couple of petrol pumps and some old abandoned tractors in the nettles round the back and an old army lorry, made into a breakdown truck. It may be more of a tin shed, rather than a Nissen hut, but we shall see.
The hedge round the back of the paddock in the background is sphagnum moss, that I collected off a tree about 12 years ago and have had in a box, waiting for this moment! It is the same stuff florists use, for lining hanging baskets.
The front of the cottage garden can be a yew hedge, like the photo; a white palisade railing the same as the platform ramp, or maybe a 4ft high flint wall with brick posts at the gateway. We shall see!
I have been trying to get the effect of exposed paving stones, where vehicles passing over the crossing have worn the asphalt away. I think I am quite pleased with that, although I may adjust the colours a bit.
I have also been playing with static grass, as taught to me by The Q at the model railway show in Hoveton!
The field will be modelled as a small paddock, with a couple of horses peering over the fence, maybe an old grounded railway wagon as their shelter and it needs a couple of elm trees along the inside of the hedge, which I am working on at the moment. Not sure of the grass in the paddock yet, as it will be short-cropped grazed grass, so it will look different from that on the bank. Notice the bridle path, along the front of the verge.
You can see tractor tracks in the mud going through the gateway and there is a bit of water lying in the ditch beside the fence. That is a couple of light coats of International Goldspar yacht varnish!

*Attention! Grrrrrrrr predictive text
This thread reminds me of my childhood when i spent endless happy hours playing with Britains horses and farm toys. I had 'acres' of paddocks with all the fencing and masses of horses and jumps, little plastic bales of straw, tractors and trailers to maintain my show jumping estate. It took up the whole of the living room carpet. I won Hickstead every year and was olympic champion over and over despite the interference of my cat who liked to bat the horses over with her paw. Very happy memories and Im going to buy my granddaughter a set now. :)

Harmaline is a fluorescent indole alkaloid from the group of harmala alkaloids and beta-carbolines. It is the partly hydrogenated form of harmine.

Occurrence in nature
Various plants contain harmaline including Peganum harmala (Syrian rue) as well as the hallucinogenic beverage ayahuasca, which is traditionally brewed using Banisteriopsis caapi.
Present at 3% by dry weight, the harmala alkaloids may be extracted from the
Syrian rue seeds.

Effects

Harmaline is a central nervous system stimulant and a "reversible inhibitor of MAO-A (RIMA)". This means that the risk of a hypertensive crisis, a dangerous high blood pressure crisis from eating tyramine-rich foods such as cheese, is likely lower with harmaline than with irreversible MAOIs such as phenelzine.

The harmala alkaloids are psychoactive in humans.
Harmaline is shown to act as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Harmaline also stimulates striatal dopamine release in rats at very high dose levels. Since harmaline is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A, it could, in theory, induce both serotonin syndrome and hypertensive crises in combination with tyramine, serotonergics, catecholaminergics drugs or prodrugs. Harmaline-containing plants and tryptamine-containing plants are used in ayahuasca brews. The inhibitory effects on monoamine oxidase allows dimethyltryptamine (DMT), the psychoactively prominent chemical in the mixture, to bypass the extensive first-pass metabolism it undergoes upon ingestion, allowing a psychologically active quantity of the chemical to exist in the brain for a perceivable period of time. Harmaline forces the anabolic metabolism of serotonin into N-acetylserotonin (normelatonin), and then to melatonin, the body's principal sleep-regulating hormone and a powerful antioxidant.

United States Patent Number 5591738 describes a method for treating various chemical dependencies via the administration of harmaline and or other beta-carbolines.

A study has reported the antiviral activity of Harmaline against Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) by inhibiting immediate early transcription of the virus at noncytotoxic concentration.

Harmaline is known to act as a histamine N-methyltransferase inhibitor. This explains how harmaline elicits its wakefulness-promoting effects.

Legal status

Australia
Harmala alkaloids are considered Schedule 9 prohibited substances under the Poisons Standard (October 2015). A Schedule 9 substance is a substance which may be abused or misused, the manufacture, possession, sale or use of which should be prohibited by law except when required for medical or scientific research, or for analytical, teaching or training purposes with approval of Commonwealth and/or State or Territory Health Authorities.

Canada

Harmaline and Harmalol are considered Schedule III controlled substances by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Every person found to be in possession of a Schedule III drug is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years; or for a first offence, guilty on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or to both. Every person found to be trafficking a Schedule III drug is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or is guilty on summary conviction (first-time offenders) and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months.

Q: getActivityInfo method doesn't work for disabled component I am working with one activity and certain logic requires enabling and disabling this activity from time to time. Also, I used package manager API to check if I have this activity in system at all. This is getActivityInfo method.
And for some reason I catch NameNotFoundException after calling this method if the activity is disabled at that moment. It is kinda strange. Is it a feature or am I doing something wrong? I do know that I haven't misspelled the package and activity names, they are valid.
I cannot use MATCH_DISABLED_COMPONENTS flag sinse it's entered only on 24 level API which is forbidden for me.

A: EDIT:
For the API level 24 problem, I can suggest programmatically enabling the Activity for a moment and then making the inquiry and then disabling it with,
setComponentEnabledSetting(ComponentName componentName, int newState, int flags)

where the state is:

The new enabled state for the component. The legal values for this
  state are: COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED,
  COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED and COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT
  The last one removes the setting, thereby restoring the component's
  state to whatever was set in it's manifest (or enabled, by default).

There are flags provided in the docs for this method and one of the flags is MATCH_DISABLED_COMPONENTS. This implies that without this flag, it doesn't check any disabled component and you must enable it for your case.
So call it like,
getActivityInfo(componentName, MATCH_DISABLED_COMPONENTS);

You should then not get this exception.

You may find your partner boring so you will try to look for someone else, someone new, someone better. then you got a new partner and you realized that the old partner you thought was boring is the best you ever had.
You yearn for someone not because you want to be complete.
But because you want to add more color to your life.
That person must not necessarily break through your busy schedules.
That person must inspire you to manage your time well instead.
it's more like friendship in a higher level.
It's smiling alone every once in a while.
someone smiles at the thought of you.
Everything was perfect except for one thing.
and I wasn't even close to being the right one.
but it's what's in the middle that counts.
Three people you will meet in life: First is the one you love most, second is the one who loves you most and the third is the one you spend the rest of your life with. Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person. The one you love most doesn't love you. The one who loves you the most is never the one you love the most, and the one you spend your life with, is neither the one you love nor the one who loves you the most. He/she is just the person who happens to be a the right place at the right time.
who's in love with someone else.
People say "I Love You" just for the sake of saying it, some just for pity, and some because they promised.
When you really think hard, the people who find it hard to say it are usually the only ones who mean it.
Learn to love the person who is with you right now.
they lead you to the person you have right now.

A Steady Rudder
"The way my cancer was discovered was truly a 'God thing.' I had bought a term life insurance policy in 2002, and it came up for renewal in 2012. During that time, I had a doctor monitoring some spots on my liver. In March 2012, they performed a sonogram and said everything looked okay but wanted me to come back and have one last sonogram in September 2012. However, my insurance policy came up for renewal in between those two appointments, and I was told they couldn't renew it unless I had that final sonogram. I reluctantly moved the appointment up and did the sonogram on the liver, expecting it to be fine.
"While my liver was fine, the doctor found some suspicious things in my abdomen and made an appointment for me to see an oncologist. When they called me with the update, I was in my car on my way to a meeting, and I had to pull over and have them repeat it. I said, 'What? An oncologist—that's a cancer doctor, isn't it?' They said, 'Yes, and you need to drop everything you are doing and have bloodwork done today.' I called my wife and then drove straight to the lab. My bloodwork came back completely normal. I didn't feel tired or have any pain, but when I got the diagnosis, I was at Stage 2 with a very aggressive form of lymphoma. In retrospect, if it had not been for me signing that life insurance policy back in 2002, this cancer would have gone undiagnosed for months and would've certainly had a different outcome.
"The treatment available for the type of cancer I had was pretty effective in comparison to others, so I was very blessed. I went through six months of hard chemo, eight treatments, followed by four years of immunotherapy. I've been in remission ever since.
"In 2016, Pam Anderson, a pastor at Gateway, was moved to start a cancer support group. She went to Cancer Treatment Centers of America, which established the Our Journey of Hope program that is being used at churches across the country. She brought back their materials and recruited eight people to help, and I happened to be one of them. There were six of us who had been through cancer treatments and two who had been caregivers to cancer patients. We went through eight weeks of training, then we launched the support group.
"We meet the first Thursday of the month, at 7 pm, for about an hour and a half. It's similar to a family group setting with a sharing time for each of us to give updates. We sometimes have an invited speaker who provides an encouraging message. Frequently, we will have someone who is actively going through treatments for the first time. We offer practical advice and spiritual support, and we always pray for each other.
"It's a fearful thing when you get a cancer diagnosis—you can definitely feel lost—but we can be that steady rudder for you and truly look you in the eye and say, 'I've been there. You can do this.' We lift each other up and encourage one another. We know there's a lot of need out there, and we don't want people to feel like they have to go through this journey alone."
Tim and his wife, Sandie, attend the Southlake Campus.

Mobile Network Data – Rail Station Incident
Vauxhall Station, London – Study by Tracsis Partner, Citi Logik
Passenger flows and disruption surveys
A 10,000-passenger sample which commute regularly to London by train via Vauxhall station
6 key London rail interchange points affected by a fire at Vauxhall station
In 2014, there were 1.65 billion journeys on the National Rail network, making the British network the fifth most used in the world (Great Britain ranks 23rd in world population). With just under 100 million passenger entries and exits between April 2013 and March 2014, Waterloo is Britain's busiest railway station by passenger usage.
A fire at London's Vauxhall interchange station caused major disruption for customers travelling into Britain's busiest railway station. Network planners asked Citi Logik to analyse the effects on passenger flows.
On a normal commuting day, Waterloo and the London rail interchange system is crowded but works reasonably well, however, disruption to any station in this network can have serious knock-on effects. On 5 May 2016, a fire at Vauxhall station caused major disruption to passengers on one of the major routes into Waterloo. In response the team at Tracsis' partners Citi Logik were challenged with examining the impact of the fire on commuting patterns to assist with planning and responses to similar events in the future.
In partnership with Tracsis, Citi Logik has unique access to anonymised Mobile Network Data from the 3/4G network which allows it to create comprehensive and high value understandings of the urban environment. This capability is genuinely innovative, capturing anonymised and aggregated information from millions of ever-moving SIM cards (mobile phones), facilitating analysis across the city, every minute of every day, for every major road, rail route and pedestrian walkway. Citi Logik complies to the highest global standards of data protection and individual privacy.
By utilising historic anonymised Mobile Network Data, Citi Logik 's technology was able to identify an anonymised sample set of 10,000 people that commute regularly to London by train via Vauxhall station. It then used three parameters to analyse this data to assess the disruptive impact on these passengers of the fire on 5 May against days where the rail network was operating normally.
By using anonymised Mobile Network Data, Citi Logik could create a representative view of passenger movements on the day of the Vauxhall fire when compared to a normal working day. We provided this with no need to install any physical infrastructure or having any interaction with passengers, enabling us to deliver disruption-free meaningful results. Our data demonstrated that many people chose not to travel on the day of the Vauxhall fire. For those passengers who did, it was clear that their journeys were disrupted and the impact on key individual London stations was clearly demonstrated.
The graph below of Victoria station passenger traffic shows a large increase in those who normally commute through Vauxhall switching to Victoria station as an alternative on the 5th May when compared to other working days. Additionally, the AM and PM peaks are both offset to the right, demonstrating delays on the inbound journey and people choosing to travel home later in the day to make up time at work, or staying late to avoid the peak period.
Rail network operators now have a good understanding of the 'knock on effects' of disruption at the Vauxhall interchange point during rush hour and can take actions to add additional resources and measures to assist with increased passenger flows at alternative interchange points in a timely manner. Following the success of this assignment in analysing historic rail passenger movements, the Citi Logik team are now working with partners Tracsis to investigate the best ways to utilise Mobile Network Data to prepare for future disruptive events, both pre-planned (such as engineering works) and unexpected (such as fire like the one at Vauxhall).

Jacob Pieter Pompejus (Pompejus) van Zuylen van Nijevelt, heer van de Ehze (Dordrecht, 29 juni 1816 – Den Haag, 4 november 1890) was een Gelderse edelman en vanaf 1848 Tweede Kamerlid.

Leven en werk
Na het Athenaeum Illustre (Deventer) studeerde Van Zuylen van Nijevelt vanaf 1835 te Utrecht en promoveerde in 1840 in de rechten. Hij was minister van Buitenlandse Zaken in het eerste kabinet van Thorbecke. Dit kabinet struikelde in 1853 over de Aprilbeweging. Hem werd ten onrechte verweten het voornemen van Pius IX om de kerkelijke hiërarchie in Nederland te herstellen te hebben verzwegen. In 1861 was hij korte tijd weer minister van Buitenlandse zaken. Hij kwam in conflict met zijn collega-ministers over het koloniale beleid. Toen de koning zich achter zijn tegenstanders schaarde, waaronder zijn medeformateur van het kabinet James Loudon trad hij af. Na zijn derde huwelijk in 1857, met een dochter van oud-minister Jan Jacob Rochussen, kwam hij onder invloed van zijn nieuwe schoonvader in conservatiever vaarwater terecht. In september 1864 werd hij weer Kamerlid en leider van de Zuylianen, die zich tegen liberalen en antirevolutionairen keerden. Nadien was hij tot 1885 achttien jaar gezant in Parijs, na benoeming door zijn neef Jules, toenmaals minister, en op hoge leeftijd nog Eerste Kamerlid. In 1889 werd hij benoemd tot minister van staat.

Familie
Van Zuylen van Nijevelt trouwde op  26 augustus 1841 te Utrecht met Françoise Wilhelmina Maria Schas, telg uit het geslacht Schas, uit welk huwelijk vier kinderen werden geboren. Na haar overlijden hertrouwde hij op 5 januari 1854 te Rheden met haar zuster Jacoba Aletta Francina Schas, uit welk huwelijk een dochter werd geboren die na enkele maanden op Rhederhof in 1855 overleed, terwijl de moeder elf dagen na die geboorte overleed, op 18 december 1854. Hij hertrouwde daarna op 30 juli 1857 in Den Haag met Emilie Annette Rochussen. Hij overleed in november 1890 op 74-jarige leeftijd in zijn woonplaats Den Haag, een jaar na zijn derde echtgenote.

Bezit

Zijn vader Arnout baron van Zuylen van Nijevelt, heer van de Ehze (1780-1835), lid Notabelenvergadering, was in 1831 eigenaar geworden van De Ehze. Na diens overlijden ging het bezit ervan op hem over, maar zijn moeder Maria Repelar, vrouwe van Nieuw-Beijerland (1780-1857) bleef het huis bewonen tot haar overlijden. Zelf bewoonde hij het op het landgoed gebouwde huis Hoogenkamp in Almen, terwijl zijn zus Maria (1818-1865) bij haar moeder op het huis de Ehze bleef wonen, ook na haar huwelijk in 1849 met K.W.G. baron van Wassenaer (1822-1870), waar enkele van hun kinderen werden geboren en op welk huis zij overleed, net als haar moeder acht jaar eerder.
