The Dictionary Project: Elks give the gift of words
Nancy Mjelde, an active member of the Coeur d`Alene, Idaho, Lodge, has received hundreds and hundreds of thank-you letters from children over the past five years. But they`re not from her grandchildren—she has none. They aren`t from nieces or nephews, either. In fact, with rare exceptions, Mjelde doesn`t personally know the children who write the letters. But they know Mjelde, and they have just one reason for contacting her—to say thank you for the dictionaries she and her lodge have given them as part of their participation in The Dictionary Project.
Founded in South Carolina in 1995, the Dictionary Project is a national nonprofit organization which has the goal of providing every third-grade student in the United States with a dictionary. By doing this, the project hopes `to have a positive impact on education in this country and empower children to become skillful communicators and resourceful learners.` The Dictionary Project invites organizations and individuals all across the country to become sponsors of the project in their communities and, in exchange for specific donation fees, provides dictionaries for distribution to third graders in schools chosen by the sponsors.
The Dictionary Project focuses on third graders because most schools teach dictionary skills in the third grade, and children of this age are also just beginning to make the transition from learning to read to reading to learn. The Dictionary Project firmly believes that children need a dictionary to accomplish their schoolwork in a proper fashion and become effective users of the English language. As part of the bigger picture, the organization also believes that literacy is crucial to the economic success and prosperity of the country.
According to a recent study, 37 percent of American fourth graders have failed to achieve basic levels of reading proficiency, a frightening statistic considering the correlation between crime and unemployment levels and literacy rates. Given the urgency of the literacy problem in the United States, the Grand Lodge made The Dictionary Project a national initiative during the 2004-2005 lodge year, and the Grand Lodge Youth Activities Committee encourages every lodge to unite in the effort to provide a dictionary for every American third grader.
The benefits of participation in The Dictionary Project are numerous, and different lodges` involvement in it highlight different aspects of the project`s benefit not only to the students who receive dictionaries but also to the community and to participating lodges. Nancy Mjelde, who has been the Coeur d`Alene, Idaho, Lodge Dictionary Committee chairman for the past five years, for instance, believes that the cooperation and fellowship of other Elks is one of the most gratifying aspects of her involvement in the project. According to Mjelde, The Dictionary Project has become a very popular activity among Coeur d`Alene Lodge members. `I give a report on the lodge floor regularly— not every month, but several times a year when we`ve made significant progress,` Mjelde says. `I`ve never heard anybody in our lodge say one word against it.` The Dictionary Project is so popular, in fact, that the lodge doesn`t even have to do special fund-raising for it anymore. `We used to do fund-raising,` Mjelde says, `but now we have funds for it as a line item in our budget.` And when it comes to loading, transporting, and distributing the dictionaries, there is no shortage of lodge members to help. `Last November,` Mjelde recalls, `we had seven Elks load the books into four vehicles. We had a caravan to the schools.`
For Brattleboro, Vermont, Lodge PER Earl Cavanagh, who is a member of his lodge`s Youth Activities Committee, The Dictionary Project represents an important community service project. `It opens doors into the schools of the community, paving the way for other Elks youth projects,` Cavanagh says. His lodge, a medium-size lodge, recently supplied dictionaries to all the third graders in three local school districts, and he reminds other lodges that an ENF Gratitude Grant is a good way to buy dictionaries for the project. `If your lodge meets its annual per capita for the Elks National Foundation,` Cavanagh says, `you`re eligible for a grant of up to $500, and you can use that to pay for the dictionaries.`
Duarte, California, Lodge members also are well aware of the usefulness of the Elks National Foundation as a source of funding for The Dictionary Project. With fewer than 200 members, the Duarte Lodge doesn`t hesitate to make full use of resources from the Elks National Foundation as it tries to help schools in its area that are facing financial difficulties. Using ENF funds, the Duarte Lodge obtains several hundred dictionaries annually and distributes them to students in public and private schools in Duarte and nearby Monrovia.
`We have so many unemployed people here,` says lodge member Larry Van Den Bossche. `The aircraft industry left. The schools don`t have the money to buy dictionaries for each third grader, so the children are very appreciative of our gifts. We have tons of thank-you letters. All of our active members know about this project, and a lot of the children who receive the books are the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of our members.`
With such close ties to the local school system, Duarte Lodge members have a thorough understanding of the needs of the students in their area. Many of the students speak Spanish, so Duarte Lodge members allowed this knowledge to guide them in their decision to choose an English-to-Spanish, Spanish-to-English dictionary for distribution.
The John H. Kinzie Elementary School in Chicago, which was brought into The Dictionary Project and sponsored by the Oak Lawn, Illinois, Lodge, is strikingly similar to the schools in the Duarte Lodge`s area. Many of the Kinzie Elementary School`s 750 students, including its approximately eighty-five third graders, are from bilingual families (Polish and Spanish speaking), and almost half are from low-income homes. With little money available for third-grade dictionaries, the school was very enthusiastic about receiving complimentary dictionaries when it was approached by Tina Haran, who has the distinction of being the mother of eight-year-old Jack, a third grader at Kinzie Elementary School, a member of the Oak Lawn, Illinois, Lodge, and the director of the Grand Lodge Convention Department.
Haran first learned about The Dictionary Project when she saw an exhibit about it at the 2009 Elks Grand Lodge Session in Portland, Oregon. When she suggested to her fellow lodge members that the Oak Lawn Lodge become involved in The Dictionary Project, they were enthusiastic about the idea. Haran then contacted the Parent-Teacher Committee and the principal at the Kinzie Elementary School to get their permission to go ahead with the project. Once she had obtained the approval of parents and school officials, she ordered a sample dictionary kit from The Dictionary Project, and when the books arrived, she began the process of selecting one from among them to distribute to Kinzie Elementary School third graders.
`All lodges do it differently,` Haran says of the dictionary selection process, noting that some lodges allow school officials to select a dictionary from the kit for distribution to their students. Haran, however, decided to allow a future user of the dictionary to decide which one to get and ordered the dictionary that her son, Jack, liked best. Then, with the assistance of fellow Oak Lawn Lodge members, the school`s principal, Dr. Sean Egan, and several of Kinzie Elementary School`s third-grade teachers, Haran planned the presentation ceremony.
`We visited the school in November,` Haran recalls, `and our visit was a surprise to the children. I introduced the Elks from the lodge who were with me and told the class a little bit about the Elks. Then we presented a dictionary to each child, along with an adhesive bookplate and a bookmark bearing some inspirational words about reading and learning, and brief information about the Elks.
`As a group exercise, each student wrote his or her name on the adhesive book plate and then tried to locate the five longest words in the dictionary. At the end of the presentation at least one youngster in every class asked: `Do we get to keep these or do we have to turn them in at the end of the year?`
`When the students later wrote thank-you letters to the lodge, several of them commented on things they had noticed in their dictionaries specifically, pictures of planets and a sign language alphabet that Dr. Egan showed them.`
Laura McDonough, one of Kinzie Elementary School`s third-grade teachers, assured her twenty-seven students that the dictionaries were theirs to keep permanently. `My students were so excited about having their own dictionaries,` she says. `They really took ownership of them and started to look up words right away. Before the dictionaries were presented, we had only ten dictionaries in our class. There weren`t even enough to allow the students to work with dictionaries in pairs, so having the personal dictionaries has given them a tremendous boost in their writing and researching skills. . . . We really appreciate the generosity of the Elks.`
Twin sisters Catherine and Ann Marie are students in McDonough`s class. Their mother, Diane, encourages the girls to use their dictionaries, which she says they both enjoy very much. `I tell them to pick a new word every day,` Diane says, `look it up, and use it. Then they will often ask me if I can spell a certain word.`
To date, Elks nationwide have donated more than 1.2 million dictionaries to third-grade students and their teachers as sponsors of The Dictionary Project.
Otto Sayles, chairman of the Grand Lodge Youth Activities Committee and Grandview-Hickman Mills, Missouri, Lodge PER, is a former middle school Spanish and physical education teacher and knows from experience how vital a comprehensive vocabulary is to a student`s academic achievement. `When a student didn`t have access to a dictionary, or didn`t have the motivation to find one, his choice of words in written papers seemed very limited to me,` he says. `Getting involved in The Dictionary Project is a great goal for our lodges.`
Through The Dictionary Project, your lodge, too, can become the proud sponsor of schools in your area. Hold a fund-raiser, apply for a $500 ENF Gratitude Grant, and put a line item in your lodge`s budget. With dictionaries from The Dictionary Project costing as little as $1.25 each, it won`t take very much to make a huge difference in the educational lives of third graders in your area. Visit www.dictionaryproject.org for more information, and get your lodge started on the road to sponsorship today.
Reasons to Get Involved
`Our country and our world face many challenges, and we need to prepare our young people to be strong, productive citizens who can succeed and grow and solve problems in a rapidly changing world. A dictionary may be a small thing, but it is a powerful tool to help with learning, and when it is a gift from a child`s community, the child learns from it not just the value of schoolwork, but also the example of community service. Our sponsors have made tireless efforts to improve literacy and the quality of life in their communities. These volunteers are the breath of life of The Dictionary Project. Through The Dictionary Project, people feel empowered to effect change and improve education so that the children will grow up better prepared to compete in the global economy.` –The Dictionary Project
If the members of your lodge would like to sponsor The Dictionary Project in your area, several easy steps should be taken. First, go to The Dictionary Project website (http://www.dictionaryproject.org/) to learn as much as possible about the project. Next, identify the schools in your area where the dictionaries would be given. Then, contact the schools` administrators and teachers and gain their permission to conduct the program in their schools. Also, write a letter to all the parents of all the students who would be involved, explaining The Dictionary Project and what your lodge wants to do. The Dictionary Project website offers a number of sample letters, including letters to superintendents, principals, and parents, which lodge members can use as templates. After school administrators, teachers, and parents have granted the necessary permission, the number of dictionaries needed for each school should be determined. Once the number of dictionaries needed is known, the dictionary selection and ordering process can begin.
The Dictionary Project offers nine different dictionaries (including three bilingual dictionaries and a Canadian edition dictionary) and eight reference books from which to choose. (Reference books include thesauruses, a dictionary and thesaurus usage guide, an atlas, and a vocabulary builder.) The books range in price from $1.25 to $3.95 each (shipping is included in the price), and a sample kit containing five dictionaries can be purchased for $15 to help lodge members select the dictionary they feel is best for each school the lodge sponsors. After lodge members have chosen the dictionaries they want to distribute, they can place an order for the books by visiting The Dictionary Project website or by calling 843-388-8375 or 843-856-2706. Books generally arrive within two weeks, and once they are available, school officials can be contacted to arrange a presentation ceremony date and time.
The presentation ceremony and distribution of the books to the children is an exciting and memorable experience for everyone involved—lodge members and teachers, but especially the children. And, a lodge that gives the gift of words will be giving a gift that will keep on giving throughout a recipient`s entire life. A dictionary is a gift that students will remember and use and with which they will have a better chance of succeeding in school and in life.
Two different sample kits are available from The Dictionary Project to help your lodge choose the dictionaries and reference books it wants to give to students in schools in the area. Each sample kit contains five books and can be obtained for $15. Sample kit one contains all five of the American English language dictionaries The Dictionary Project offers, while sample kit two contains a dictionary and thesaurus usage guide; a Spanish-to-English dictionary; an English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English dictionary; an atlas; and a thesaurus. To order either sample kit, simply visit The Dictionary Project online at http://www.dictionaryproject.org/dictionaryproject.org/ or call 843-388-8375 or 843-856-2706.

new Urban Electronic World Pop needed for Hollywood action film franchise
Urban Electronic World Pop needed for Hollywood action film franchise (£10-25k)
Currently seeking unsigned "Urban Electronic World Pop" for our catalogue and to pitch to a major Hollywood action film franchise largely concerned with illegal street racing, heists and spy's.
When I say "Urban Electronic World Pop", I mean any Electronic Urban Pop tracks that have world/global/universal music themes I.e. Indian riffs, Latin vocals, Spanish rappers, French themes etc. If you imagine a Columbian mumble rapper, over a 4/4 beat, with a sitar and big Baptist choir, you'll get my drift.
Musical influences can come from every country around the world and if any musical references are to a specific country all the better. Ie, music associated to Thailand, Columbia, Germany etc. All genres good as long as it's a Pop track. Ie, Hip-Hop, Dance, Electronica, Edm, House, Trap, Grime influences etc.
Music must be produced to the highest standard, mixed and mastered. Vocal tracks preferred please, but great instrumental tracks will be pitched too. All tracks must be big, confident and upbeat and have a "driving beat", "Killer Beat", "Sick Beas", "Dope Beat" or whatever your preferred description would be.
All music submitted will be listened to, reviewed and feedback given. Artists must own all rights to their music 100% on both sides and there must be no copyright infringement as you will be held responsible.
Selected tracks will be added to our catalogue and pitched to film and music successfully licensed will be on a non-exclusive basis (so you maintain all rights to your music), we simply go 50-50 on deals we get for you and you keep 100% all backend royalties (performance / mechanical). Selected tracks will also be pitched for relevant spots at Resonant, and if we've already accepted your music you don't have to re-submit.
If you make "Urban Global Electronic World Pop" I'll really look forward to hearing from you!
- Giles Gale - Music supervisor, sync & Licensing Manager - Resonant Music Licensing Ps, If there's a large number of submissions either myself or my colleague Liam at Resonant will respond to the submissions, thank you.

This property is an exceptional five-star one-bedroom luxury cottage set in a charming North York Moors village. With a stylish country-chic interior and local village pub, it is an idyllic Yorkshire retreat for couples and small families alike.
As soon as you walk through the door you can sense the quality of the interior furnishings and fixtures, the place has been lovingly crafted into a comfortable and elegant holiday home. From the flagstone flooring to the wood burner in the corner, everything has been designed to create a warm and peaceful ambience. Brightly coloured fabrics contrast beautifully with the natural hue of the stone walls. The open-plan kitchen/dining area is a great space to relax in, allowing you to chat to your loved one whilst cooking up a storm. There is also a shared laundry room on site with a washing machine and dryer.
In the living room you'll find an LCD TV and, of course, that cosy wood burner to curl up in front of. A DVD player and Wi-Fi are provided too.
The hallway leads through to the spacious master bedroom equipped with a super king-size bed. There are lovely views out to the patio area from here. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower - perfect if you prefer not to climb over the bath for your morning shower.
Outside, there's a charming patio garden complete with table and chairs. It's a delightful spot to enjoy breakfast in the warmer months and, if the mood takes you, you could venture out of the cottage into the village for a pub lunch.
Please note there is no charging facility for electric cars. Nearest points are Monks Cross and York.
This beautiful property is in an enviable location. Sitting on the edge of Gillamoor, an attractive North York Moors village, it's 2 miles south to the pretty town of Kirbymoorside and then you can travel onto vibrant and attractive Yorkshire market towns like Pickering (10 miles) and Helmsley (8 miles); both of which have an abundance of good restaurants, tea-rooms and independent shops.
Beyond the village lies the North York Moors. A landscape like no other, it's a place of gentle rolling hills of heather, ancient woodlands and lazy rivers winding through lush green valleys. If you want to get away from it all take a trip to the top of the high central moorlands. The famous Blakey Ridge affords some breathtaking views and is just 8 miles drive from the cottage. If walking is your thing, you are surrounded on all sides by some truly stunning routes.
This holiday home is close to the North Yorkshire Coast, with the gothic town of Whitby (24 miles) and the picture-postcard fisherman village of Robin Hood's Bay (28 miles) a drive away. Take a day trip here and experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Yorkshire's coastline.
Hutton-le-Hole, quite possibly the most beautiful village in the North York Moors, is just 3 miles away and you're also close to Castle Howard (15 miles) and York (27 miles), so lots of choice for day trips.
A tranquil retreat on the edge of the N Yorks moors. A really good place to recharge the batteries.
Fantastic cottage would definitely stay again.
This was our first visit to Yorkshire but won't be our last. Gales Lodge was a marvellous cottage, so clean and comfortable. It was perfect for exploring the local villages and beyond.
we had a lovely time at gales lodge very warm and cosy .The lodge was beautifully furnished,the bathroom was fab great shower, our only problem was the bed it was so hard, it would suit some but not us .
These cottages are a great central base from where to day trip from. Well presented, quiet and recommended. Pub a five minute walk away, town 2 miles away, and a very good short walk to Hutton-le-Hole. Helmsley, Pickering (steam train to Whitby) and Castle Howard are all close and the coast not to far a drive.
Really lovely stay at Gales Lodge. Perfect bade to explore the Moors.
We were very happy with everything. Thank you.
Perfect cottage in a perfect place.
This is the second time we have stayed at Gales Lodge. It is is like a home from home for us. Watson our Westie loves it there. So comfortable. Every thing we would need is in the cottage. The shower is to die for!Some time in the future we will definitely be staying again. Thank you Steve and Georgina.


Havarl is a planet in Mass Effect: Andromeda that can be visited by players. It is part of the Faroang system and the initial homeworld of the Angaran people.
The jungle-like surface of Havarl is home to many forms of hostile wildlife and environmental hazards, as well as some not-so-friendly locals. Adventurers should use caution when exploring the lush tropical forest of the strange, small world.
There are no Priority Ops to undertake on Havarl, though players may find themselves here in the course of completing the story mission A Trail of Hope, depending on which task they choose to undertake to gain Efvrit's trust.

Nov. 27, 2017 9:00 p.m.
Richard Leighton, owner of Arbutus Music, is tallying up his company's losses after rare vintage guitars were stolen during a break-in over the weekend.
Leighton said employees discovered the break-in while opening the store, on Metral Drive in north Nanaimo on Saturday morning.
They found culprits had broken into the building's electrical room, disabled the alarm system and then smashed a hole through the store's office wall.
Guitars taken included a 1959 cherry-red Gibson Les Paul, a blonde 1975 Fender Telecaster Custom, red 1962 National Westwood 77, a 1916 Martin and a red 1965 Fender Mustang and other guitars valued at roughly $50,000.
The rarity and unique designs of the guitars will make them diffult to re-sell.
There is sentimental value to the instruments and one of Leighton's favourites was the '59 Gibson Les Paul.
But Leighton said it's unlikely the culprits knew he had those particular guitars in the store. If they knew what they were looking for, he has much more expensive guitars in his collection, they most likely just grabbed whatever they came across, including a credit card they used to make purchases in Walmart.
"There's footage of them using the card at Walmart and some restaurants and bank machines trying to get cash withdrawals," he said.
Arbutus Music was the victim of a theft in 2014 when a rare 1952 Fender Stratocaster was among the instruments taken. That theft drew broad attention from the music community, including Elton John, who shared news of the loss on social media.
Leighton said he he feels bad over his loss, but often feels worse when he hears of thefts from working musicians, often struggling and who can't afford insurance or to replace their instruments, or people who lose irreplaceable family heirlooms.
"For us in the commercial world, it's a common occurrence unfortunately," Leighton said. "My buddy Joe Keller just got his jewelry store broken into in Lantzville and another one just got hit downtown. The poor cops are just run off their feet here," he said.
Leighton hopes the guitars stolen will be covered under his store's insurance and said the alarm system has been repaired and upgraded to prevent this type of break-in from happening again.
Const. Gary O'Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman said investigators are following up by reviewing security footage of attempts to use the stolen credit and other evidence.
"We're hoping if somebody hears something they'll call us," O'Brien said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, text 274637, keyword Nanaimo or submit a tip online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

The Readstown bandstand at Bliss Memorial Park was built in 1905; the designer was unknown. It was paid for by the community through fundraisers, such as dances. It was built specifically for the community band which had been practicing over the winter months and had invested over $300 for instruments. From the Readstown Herald, 11/16/1904, "A good band is the life of the town and is wanted at all occasions; therefore, it is for the benefit of the entire village, instead of a luxury, as some would term it".
In 2010 the village rededicated its renovation, which had started in 2006 and was completed in 2009. The bandstand, besides hosting the band, has always been used for Memorial Day programs, and in the past birthday parties, and some weddings.
In Bliss Memorial Park, there are several memorial to veterans.

Alexander Valley Film Festival Virtually Screens New Documentary 'Vinyl Nation'
By Charlie Swanson
What was once called a revival is now hailed as a renaissance. The vinyl record has had its ups and downs over the last 100-plus years, but the classic method of musical enjoyment is still setting record sales numbers in the high-tech 21st century.
During the pandemic, several North Bay record shops reported an uptick in business, even as social distancing forced stores to offer curbside pickup, delivery or extremely limited shopping opportunities.
Filmmakers Kevin Smokler and Christopher Boone recently crisscrossed the country to document the record renaissance in the new documentary Vinyl Nation, which screens virtually as part of the seventh annual Alexander Valley Film Festival, which opens online on Friday, April 23.
Vinyl Nation talks to record collectors, musicians, shop owners, manufacturers and others to find out what drives generations of collectors to collect, and how the latest vinyl craze is more inclusive and diverse than ever before.
Based in San Francisco, Smokler is the author of three books about pop culture, including Brat Pack America: A Love Letter to '80s Teen Movies. When that book came out, Boone—an Albuquerque-based filmmaker and college classmate of Smokler's—reached out about hosting movie screenings based on Smokler's book.
"We worked well together, and I had seen some of Chris's movies," Smokler says. "I'm a documentary fanatic and I've always wanted to make movies, and I had one idea that was nagging at me, and that was, 'what do we have to say about the resurgence of vinyl records?'"
With the title Vinyl Nation already in his head, Smokler approached Boone about collaborating on a feature-length documentary, and soon the two were flying to locations in the Bay Area, Baltimore, Detroit and Louisville to interview all manner of enthusiasts and experts, such as San Francisco musician and Tiny Telephone recording studio owner John Vanderslice and Bay Area–raised DJ and podcaster Ashleyanne Krigbaum.
From those interviews, Smokler and Boone worked with editors David Fabelo and Jason Wehling to successfully track vinyl's resurgence through the eyes and experiences of those who make, sell and buy records.
Vinyl Nation includes plotlines ranging from the vinyl community's turns towards diversification and inclusivity, to the record industry's thoughts on its environmental impact, to the emotional connection collectors feel to their records.
"My favorite scene in the film—and a scene I knew was going to be in the film the moment it happened—came in our first week of shooting," Boone says. "The last person we interviewed in the Bay Area was Ashleyanne Krigbaum, and Kevin had decided to ask everyone what they hoped would happen to their records when they were gone. I didn't expect that question to evoke an emotional response the way it hit AshleyAnne. She had thought about it; she put a lot of thought into it and she got so vulnerable in that moment."
Vinyl Nation was set to premiere early last year, though the pandemic changed plans for the film, much as it did for Record Store Day 2020.
"Record Store Day was coming up in April [2020] and we were hearing from our friends at record stores, 'This is bad,'" Smokler says. "'This is our biggest business day of the year and we are legally barred from opening our doors.'"
In light of that fact, Smokler and Boone partnered with Record Store Day organizers to offer a digital premiere of their film last April to independent record stores across the United States on what would have been Record Store Day if stores hadn't been closed.
Over 200 record stores came on board, selling a collective total of 3,690 tickets and raising nearly $37,000 for their businesses. Record stores kept all of the ticket proceeds from this one-weekend-only digital premiere.
Now, Vinyl Nation is getting larger premieres at festivals like the Alexander Valley Film Festival, which will be conducted virtually Friday, April 23, through Sunday, May 2. The AV Film Festival will feature a diverse array of films and filmmakers from around the world with 30 feature films, 38 short films, more than a dozen panels and Q&As—including a panel with Smokler and Boone on April 27—and 14 student works.
"The resiliency of the film festival ecosystem has been essential to the life of our movie," Smokler says. "And communities like Alexander Valley—where people really give a shit about arts and culture and their neighborhood—are making sure that even under the worst conditions, people have things to enjoy and keep their minds open and refreshed. Those kinds of communities are the perfect representatives of 'Vinyl Nation'; people who care what they put in their ears, eyes, minds and hearts. I couldn't be prouder to be a part of this festival."

More About Me: In January of 2008, as part of a New Year's resolution to date more (Date in '08!), I went out to dinner with a friend of a friend who turned out to be better than karaoke and macaroni and cheese. Fast forward a couple years, and we are now happily married. The Big Fat Day was in March of 2011, and it turned out better than I could have imagined! This year my sister and my best friend are getting married, so I'm not wedding-free just yet! Hopefully, my ramblings and observations will help you plan your wedding or your friend's. Happy Wedding!


The second day of our Eurasian Beavers Expedition recce started by waking up from a heavenly night's sleep – my bed was like a marshmallow. After breakfast and a dip into what Heather calls THE Beaver book, by Andrew Kitchener, we headed back along the river to find some spots to set up camera traps.
The sun came and went, bringing its heat with it so I couldn't make up my mind whether I wanted my coat or not. Every so often we'd see a different coloured spot in the sea of green grass, and I spent a lot of the afternoon squatting in the grass training my macro lens on day moths, flies and beetles. Before long we reached a clearly trodden corridor in the grass that snaked down to the river. We followed it down and saw a defined mud slope leading into the water; this was a sure route for beavers. One camera trap set and ready.
We set the other two on the other side of the river, to hopefully catch any beavers coming down from the adjacent field like the one we spotted last night. Beaver footage would be incredibly exciting, especially during the day.
Back at the cottage, we retrieved the moths that Heather and Cain had caught in the traps during the night. Taking them outside, we had a little macro photo shoot. White Ermine, Poplar Hawkmoth, Large Yellow Underwing, all beautiful, delicate creatures with easily the same beauty as butterflies. Seeing them up close instead of zooming around my head in the shower made a world of difference; stood still they were stunning, covered in shimmering dust of every colour imaginable.
After some lunch at the cottage we headed back out, this time with nets and white trays ready for some pond dipping. I hadn't pond dipped since I was tiny, so it brought back a lot of memories for me.
Finding the perfect dipping spot was difficult. The first place we tried was too steep, and knowing my balance I'd have fallen straight in. The next spot we found was good for dipping but we only managed to find a few blood worms, miniscule grains of wiggly sand that catapulted themselves around the tray with curled convulsions of their tiny bodies. Finally we headed away from the cottage towards the lake – made entirely by the beavers I hasten to add – where we had much better luck. In a single tray I got a good look at caddis fly larvae, damselfly nymphs, backswimmers (which performed their rather comedic backstroke around the tray), water beetles and lots of microscopic creatures. Using my macro lens I could capture the beautiful detail that make these pond aliens so extraordinary. They honestly looked like visitors from another planet.
There were even more treats on the journey back to the cottage. Just as I was ducking under a low fern I saw a flash of chestnut red and my arm rose of its own accord in a rapid point. "Squirrel!" I whispered as urgently but quietly as I could. The red squirrel darted along a felled tree then up a living one, skirting up the bark just as easy horizontally as vertically. A group of chaffinches began to mob it, clearly too close to a nest. Bounding from one tree to the next, the squirrel speedily made its way away from the ruffled birds, and paused to peer down at us as we gawped. A tail twitch later and he was down on the forest floor again, disappearing into the forest.
We continued on, making our way back to the cottage. Dinner was stir-fry, and after finishing up we headed to the river, in the hope of seeing our beavers again. We took cover under the overhang of a tree, nestling in amongst the roots that divided us like the arms of cinema seats. Then we lay in wait. And once again, after only a short wait there was a rustling beneath the rhododendrons and a dark shape emerged. It was too dark for photos, but just to see the beavers only a short distance away was yet another treat. Now all we had to do was return at sunrise.

Skywalking at Grand Canyon West
BY DAVID CONGALTON
To be honest, I didn't look down. Not at first. I edged out a few feet rather gingerly, keeping my gaze focused on the far side of the canyon wall. It didn't help that there were bratty, snotty kids, bouncing playfully up and down on the glass around me, like they were on some kind of high-altitude trampoline. And the young woman happily lying stretched out on the glass up ahead, staring downwards into the canyon, gave me serious pause.
What the hell, I finally decided. I had come to Arizona looking for adventure. Wanting some thrills. So I looked down.
I was skywalking.
The Grand Canyon West Skywalk is a relatively new attraction, jutting out 4,000 feet above the Colorado River, owned and operated by the Hualapai Indian tribe. First open to the public in 2007, Skywalk is 120 miles south of Las Vegas, accessible by car, bus, and–thanks to the new airport terminal–helicopter and plane.
Or, it's a 9-hour drive over from San Luis Obispo, following the well-worn Bakersfield-Barstow-Needles-Kingman autobahn. Be sure to gas up in Kingman, because the last 70 miles are through desolate, open countryside.
Skywalk is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with the last tour shipping out at 5:45 p.m. In the summer time, believe me, best to go early and beat the Arizona heat.
If you drive, be prepared for adventure. The smooth, paved, two-lane road ends abruptly and you suddenly find yourself on a winding, dusty, gravel and dirt road. Be careful to avoid the occasional cow or the onslaught of oncoming traffic as you ascend upwards.
After about 30 minutes, you reach the summit and the road flattens out, becoming a mixture of pavement and pot holes. Someone said that it costs $1 million a mile to pave in Mojave County, so I don't expect the road will be upgraded in the near future. Doesn't really matter. It's an adventure. Just keep repeating that.
Suddenly, after about two hours of open road from Kingman, clear signs of life appear up ahead. Helicopters landing and taking off. Buses rumbling by, crammed with tourists. Signs pointing towards the Visitors' Center, which stands side by side with the small airport terminal (about the size of the San Luis Obispo County airport terminal).
Grand Canyon West is, to be fair, a work in progress. Central Coast readers would find the Hualapai way similar to how things work at Hearst Castle. You park your car, go inside the Visitors' Center–housed in a temporary building–figure out which package you wish to purchase, buy something from the gift shop (good prices!), and wait to board a bus.
However, there is the rather delicate question of pricing. Skywalking isn't cheap. There are deals to be had if you come down from Las Vegas as part of a tour, but if you just show up on your own, better bring that plastic with you.
Doing the Skywalk
Grand Canyon West offers three packages: Hualapai Legacy ($29.95), Legacy Silver ($41.95) and Legacy Gold ($70.95). Tack on about an extra $11 to each ticket for impact fees and energy surcharge.
Here's the kicker: The first two packages don't include Skywalk–unless you want to pay an additional $29.95. So, depending upon your interests that day, Skywalking is going to cost anywhere between $60 and $81 per person.
On the bus you go, hearing a mixture of international chatter among the other passengers. Skywalk seems to be drawing big with European and Asian tourists. The bus ride to Eagle Point, home of Skywalk, takes just a few minutes.
Eagle Point derives its name from the rock formation on the other side of the canyon, which does amazingly seem to resemble an eagle with spread wings.
The actual Skywalk structure is housed in a building still under construction. The rules are made very clear up front: Nothing is allowed to be brought out on to Skywalk. No cameras. No purses. No food. Nothing. All personal belongings must be stowed (no charge) into personal lockers. The Hualapai want nothing being accidentally dropped over the side, or scratching the glass.
Visitors go through an airport screening device just to be sure and then the line forms up the ramp. The wait that morning was about 15 minutes. As you get closer, you're asked to slide paper shoes over your real ones, again to protect the sensitive glass.
The mythical eagle spreads its wings
In terms of actual dimensions, Skywalk is U-shaped, with an overall width of 65 feet. The length extends out about 70 feet. The outside deck is made with six layers of low iron glass, with a width of about 10 feet, 2 inches. Maximum occupancy at any one time is 120 people.
As I took those first baby steps out on to the glass, none of the statistics mattered. I had come a long way for this moment. As I've already confessed, it took me a few minutes before I was willing to look down through the glass.
Skywalk doesn't go out too far, but it was far enough for me. We were above the birds swooping down below, hunting for food in the canyon. That felt strange. Beneath us was the earth-tone mosaic of the canyon wall and a perspective you can't get on land. It was cooler than I expected. The others out there with me seemed to agree–the "ooh" and "ah" quotient was quite high that morning.
There is no time limit as to how long you can stay on the glass. Staff photographers snap away to capture the moment (Of course, available for purchase in the crowded gift shop as you leave).
I did my 20 minutes, conquered my fear, and decided it was time to move on. Outside the building is a short walk among sample historic Hualapai teepees. Then time to get back on the bus.
On to Guano Point
Admittedly, the idea of hiking around a place named after guano was not all that appealing initially, but the second stop on the tour was actually quite fascinating. The name comes from earlier in the 20th century when they mined the area for guano to make fertilizer.
The first item of business at Guano Point was to eat. There are food stands at all three stops, but everyone advised waiting to have lunch at Guano Point. I can now understand why. The Hualapai cooks heaped generous portions of chicken, rice, beans, and tortillas on my plate–all as my friend Sara would say, "delish." Really good stuff. Sit down outside, enjoy your food, and gather your strength. You'll need it.
The view from Guano Point
There are two rock formations at Guano Point. The first, is right next to the food stand and an easy walk up for anyone, even me.
Only then, do you see the larger formation looming down below. The path down hugs the edge of the canyon, so there's plenty of opportunity to stop and enjoy a peek over the edge.
When you finally reach the larger formation, it's best to start by walking around to the rear. One tall, green, metal structure is left standing from the guano mining days. There's also a giant boulder where tourists took turns standing for a most majestic background.
I'm told if you look over the edge at one point you can see what's left of a car that was pushed over the edge for a scene in "From Here to Eternity" down below, but I chose to take everyone's word for it.
I was more interested in the rock climbing. I am out of shape and overweight and probably should not be stumbling around giant rocks overlooking the Grand Canyon. But I had come all this way. I would not be deterred. Pacing was the key and I made the summit in about 15 minutes, pausing along the way to catch my breath in the Arizona heat.
Sitting at the top of Guano Point, the view is pretty incredible. It is a totally different experience than Skywalk, though in some ways more satisfying because you're experiencing the fruits of nature and not something manmade.
I was in no hurry to leave.

New promo:
A pretty blunt and small-scale example, but that's definitely a showcase of Kate's selflessness in opposition to society's expectations. That's a good sign.
Meh. As cute as she looks smirking, I'm more interested in seeing more bat-action.
I feel like comic-Kate would have just ignored him, but this younger more hot-headed version has a need to make a point about everything - it seems like this version might be more outwardly angry with the world. Very adolescent, so it will interesting to watch her mature - assuming she doesn't do what Flash did in season 2, and develop, only to completely revert by the end of the season.

And seriously, why does THIS get bombed with thumbs down?
Nothing to hate there at all....
Because hating things feels good to them. It gets them likes, views, and attention from other performatively-outraged simpletons.
I've seen several comments on both this and the first trailer that basically said they only came by to dislike. Some outright admitted to not even watching.

First and foremost I have nothing against progressive DC Shows Doom Patrol was a damn Masterpiece IMO. But it seems if you criticize the show you lumped in with the "Whamen" halfwits.
But this thing looks like Birds of Prey the 2002 series which isn't a good thing but with cringy dialogue and from what has been seen bad acting I mean bad acting for the CW which is saying something only the Alice actor looked good so far.
What do you think looks good about this so far?
The acting looks pretty good all around. I like the look and the production design; the Batcave in particular looks great. The action looks good, and appropriate to how Kate fights in the comics.
I have issues with the changes made to Kate, but there are other changes that account for that, which is good. In the comics, she emulated Jacob after her kidnapping, but here, Jacob sent her away to keep her safe. That means she at the very least didn't have him to look up to, and may have had someone else. That lack of Jacob as a role model could very well explain why she's so much more of an immature asshole here. That's telling me there's a good understanding of Kate's character here, even with profound changes.
Such changes also mean that Kate has a high potential to grow and develop, which is good for a show; Kate does grow in the comics, but it's more subtle and nuanced. Making things more dramatic for TV does at least make sense even if it's inaccurate to the source.
For the new promo specifically, I like how it showcases Kate's character without her saying a word. It's all action. She does a good thing in in spite of how weird it might seem to outsiders; that's essentially her resignation scenario from the comics, just in small scale here. But it also shows pettiness and impulsiveness, which the show seems to be intentionally playing up. It also shows she's against the Crows. There's a bunch of subtext in that one action, and that's neat.
Internet addiction to outrage, competitive outrage, and jumping on a bandwagon. Who's negative comment can get the most up-votes, and hence make that person feel validated and powerful for putting-down 'the power' (in this case a television network and/or actor). It's just bullying, but in the safe space of internet anonymity, it also makes them feel like part of a community (of haters and bullies). All without requiring the person to put in any actual effort, or have any real worthwhile skills and talent, to 'impress' people.
They probably swap between Captain Marvel, Supergirl, and Batwoman, and who knows what else - gotta have some variety of things to announce your 'hatred' of.

First, you have to temper your expectations with the fact that everything we've seen so far is from the Pilot. It's more than likely that the producers and writers will take the criticisms they've heard about the Pilot from those who have already seen it (studio execs), along with criticisms they hear from the trailer, and use that to make adjustments to the show.
On top of that, these shows tend to take a little while to get into their groove. I gave up on Arrow after two episodes, and only came back a year and a half later because I learned that an actor I liked was on the show. And re-watching the first season, I could see them gradually changing things to make the show better. Legends of Tomorrow- that show is still reinventing itself.
Basically what I am saying is- yes, there was some cringe-worthy dialogue in the trailer, and maybe the acting was spotty. But you have to allow for the finished product to be better, or at least different, then what we have seen so far.
Ironically, that "Alice" actor used to be In " birds of prey".

40 and Under Midwest
Goldman Ismail
At Goldman Ismail's Chicago office, Rami Fakhouri litigates complex commercial and product liability disputes both at trial and on appeal. Fakhouri currently works alongside fellow 40 & Under stars Allyson Julien and Emma Ross– also based in Chicago –serving as lead national counsel to Merck & Co. in all ongoing product liability matters in US courts relating to the company's HPV vaccine, Gardasil. These numerous matters entail complex, novel questions as to pre-emption, medical causation, and the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. Chicago partner Andrew Rima is also active on the life sciences product liability front, serving as lead trial counsel to AbbVie in bellwether multidistrict litigation(MDL) regarding the company's testosterone replacement therapy, Androgel. A complete defense verdict has been returned for Abbvie, and Rima and the Goldman team continue to represent the client in ongoing related opt-out matters.
Also at the firm's Chicago office, product liability, antitrust, and commercial litigator Jennifer Greenblatt serves as lead counsel to Lafarge North America in opt-out antitrust litigation brought by Home Depot –the United States' largest purchaser of drywall – arising from allegations that Lafarge carried out a drywall price-fixing conspiracy in violation of the Sherman Act. Despite Home Depot's desire not to work in conjunction with plaintiffs in an already pending MDL against the client concerning the same allegations. Greenblatt and the Goldman Ismail team saw success not only in transferring Home Depot's case to the MDL, but also in obtaining a ruling, which struck down Home Depot's expert reports with leave on a ruling for summary judgement. Home Depot is pursuing interlocutory appeal of the decision before the Third Circuit. Greenblatt is joined on the Lafarge matter by new 40 & Under partner Laura Sexton, serving in a supporting capacity.
Chicago partner Doug Winnard's practice is centered around the litigation of intellectual property, commercial, and product liability disputes. Winnard has recently been retained by Apple for representation in multiple regards, including successfully representing the company in an IP dispute brought last year by patent troll Uniloc USA, and an ongoing IP dispute brought against the company by headphones manufacturer Koss Corporation.
Sidley Austin
New 40 & Under partner Steven Horowitz of Sidley's Chicago office deals in IP and antitrust litigation, his practice emphasizing the life sciences and technology industries. Following a widely spectated, monumental win on behalf of Amgen in a 2020 dispute with Sandoz relating to the client's drug Enbrel, Horowitz more recently successfully represented solar technology company Longi Solar in the Federal Circuit of Appeals, defending an earlier win before the International Trade Commission. His work was instrumental in upholding a decision on behalf of the client which has prevented the blocking of the United States' emergent and remunerative solar panel market.
Also working from Sidley's Chicago office is product liability litigator Michelle Ramirez, a newly minted partner on the 40 & Under List. Ramirez represents industry leaders – hailing especially from the pharmaceutical, medical device, manufacturing, and consumer goods sectors – at all stages of litigation and trial. She currently serves in a lead role on the firm's national and coordinating counsel teams representing Bayer in high-exposure product liability litigation relating to the client's Essure permanent birth control. Ramirez has been instrumental in achieving favorable settlements of the greater majority of claims for Bayer in this still-ongoing matter.

Danielle and Brett were SO MUCH fun and I enjoyed an early January weekend with them for their Oak Openings winter engagement photos. The chemistry between these two is FIRE and they both were open to any and every suggestion and so laid back – the perfect couple! I truly enjoy getting to know a couple throughout their session so I can learn what they like and what they don't like right there on the spot. It helps soooo much when I know that before the wedding day.

The "Lord of the Streets" has arrived on Indian roads. Yamaha Motors India has launched its latest offering – the Yamaha FZ16 in India. The Yamaha FZ16 was launched in Goa and is primarily targeted at the Young middle class of India. Yamaha FZ16 is powered by a 153cc and at 7,500 rpm delivers 14PS of power. Indians get their Yamaha FZ16 in three colors – Lava Red, Midnight Black and Flaming Orange. The Yamaha FZ16 is priced at Rs. 65,000 (ex-showroom).
The engine is born out of the quest for the ultimate in intake efficiency, combustion efficiency and minimum horsepower loss and its breathtaking pickup. The single-axis balancer reduces vibration for more comfortable riding. A negative pressure type ?26mm carburetor with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) contributes to outstanding engine response on the FZ16. The placement of this model's 'MidShip Muffler' is toward the center of the machine to achieve good concentration of mass, exhaust efficiency and handling. While 5-speed transmission provides a smooth operational touch, the gear ratios are set to provide optimum performance and agility in city riding.
FZ 16 also has India's first "140/60-17" size rear radial with a 60% aspect ratio contributes to better grip and handling stability. To achieve sufficient cooling effect, the cylinder head on the FZ16 engine is designed with especially large fins as well as a shroud (air intake cowl) to effectively direct airflow to the engine.
For more on the Yamaha FZ series and the new Yamaha FZ16 bike, head to Yamaha Motors India website at www.yamaha-motor-india.com.
Yamaha India Motors had launched the Yamaha YZF-R15 in july of this year. This bike also received a ton of publicity.
