To accompany the release of her latest album "Caution", the legendary Mariah Carey announced a special treat for her fans. Those fortunate enough to be in the NYC area can check out "The Mariah Experience", an immersive pop up event celebrating all things Mariah.
We had a chance to get an advance tour of the experience, and let us tell you, it's really cool. In a time when artists are falling short when finding unique and creative ways to promote their projects, Mariah gives us a breath of fresh air.
Throughout the venue, you're surrounded by perfectly curated Mariah Carey experiences. You can get an up close look at outfits she wore during her career, take pictures with props from her previous albums, check out a wall of all of her 18 number one singles, get a limited edition pin from a vending machine, purchase special merchandise, and much more.
We don't want to spoil the whole experience for you, but highly suggest you had over and check it out. The Mariah Experience opens to the public on November 16th, 2018 and runs until December 4th at Sony Square NYC on 25 Madison Avenue.

The Gods will Decide
"The Gods will Decide" - NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!!
The making of 'The Gods Will Decide'
In October 15, I tuned my guitar to a couple of open tunings E and G and noodled for a while until I had the instrumentals of what became five new tracks on the album. These included 'If I had you', 'Journeyman' and 'Cold black day' which are in open E and 'Together again' and 'The Gods will decide' which are in open G.
Later the following year I went to Fort William in the Highlands. The journey there was exhausting, travelling by train and car lumping my recording equipment, guitar and mics. Not much fun! We recorder the cellos at Hilary's house. Sacha flew over from Serville and then made a lovely contribution to 'Angles of the North' which she fondly referred to as the song in F sharp minor. Together they performed on several tracks.
In 2014/15, Dave MacThomais and I talked for the first time when I called to thank him for buying my albums online. He had coincidentally moved to Crieff in the Highlands and was keen to help promote a few gigs in Scotland. This tied in nicely with my visit to Fort William. Late in 2016, Hilary, Sacha and I played some gigs as a trio featuring some songs from 'The Gods' album. Dave had sold tickets for a gig at his local village hall in Fowlis Wester and put me up at his cottage. We then travelled to perform at a pub in Mallaig and also a community centre in Arisaig. I recall this involved long spells of driving in the hire car.
On my return to Milton Keynes I asked Steve McDaniels, a local revered musician, to play keyboard on some tracks. He introduced me to the piped melodica which features strongly on 'Together again' Steve also plays Hammond on 'Big guns and trains' and Lesley sounds were applied to other songs. He added piano to 'Now that I've found you'.
The songs were recorded and initially mixed by Stuat Moore in his studio 'Pokey Sticks' in Milton Keynes. The tracks were subsequently remixed by Paul Traynar in Banbury who went on to master the complete album.

It is a legendary country for travelers who seek new and exciting experiences.
The Peruvian Andes are debatably the most beautiful on the continent and the mountains are home to thousands of inhabitants, many of them Quechua speakers, who guard their great cultural legacy and keep alive their traditional lifestyle.
It is a land of steep mountains, valleys of awesome beauty and a coast considered to be among the most beautiful of Peru. Its limited space does not stop us from offering a whole spectrum of tourist attractions without equal.
It is bounded by two of the most important rivers of the coastal plain: the Santa and the Pativilca. It's impossible to speak of the coast of Ancash without mentioning the city of Chimbote, the principal fishing port of Peru and, formerly, one of the most important ones in the world. If its coast is famous for the fishing and canning industry, it is also very important for its beautiful beaches and seaside resorts, such as Vesique, Samanco, Tortugas, El Huaro, Las Gramitas, Las Aldas and Tuquillo, just to name a few.
Formed by erosion of the Santa River along its course between two mountainous massifs, the Callejón extends from south to north, forming a narrow and picturesque intermontane valley approximately 140 kilometers long. On its western side, the Cordillera Negra rises to more than 5000 meters elevation. It lacks snow due to the action of the trade winds that come off the Pacific and impede the formation of mountain glaciers.
On the eastern side of the valley, the landscape is diametrically opposite: nearly one hundred snow-capped peaks, 35 of which exceed 6000 meters in elevation, rise majestically to form the highest tropical mountain chain in the world – the Cordillera Blanca. Many of its peaks are spectacular and world famous (e.g., Alpamayo, Huandoy, Chopicalqui, Chacraraju), but one of them draws one's attention very powerfully: Huascarán, which rises impressively and majestically with its 6768 meters.
Located on the eastern flanks of the Cordillera Blanca, it is comprised of a series of traditional towns (Chavín, San Marcos, Huari, Pomabamba, Sihuas) and much more, in addition to its dreamlike landscapes. Two of the pearls of this valley lost in time are Chacas and the Sanctuary of Pomallucay.


Chief Volunteers Network Meeting postponed!
The Chief Volunteers Event, initially planned for 1-3 December 2017, at the Kaprálův mlýn Scout Centre in the Czech Republic, is now postponed to 9-11 February 2018, at the same venue.
The official invitation will be sent out shortly.
We wish to apologise to everyone who retained the initial date in their calendar.

By USLChampionship.com Staff, 11/13/20, 8:03AM EST
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC President Nick Ragain offered a look at the progress being made on the club's new 8,000-seat downtown stadium on Thursday as he welcomed KOAA's Dylan Scott for a tour of the venue.
The new Weidner Field is set to open for the 2021 USL Championship season and the next two months are going to see some of the final pieces being put into place as the club prepares to enter a new era.
"From an outside construction point what I'm excited about, what you're going to see from the street, you'll see the bleachers finish in over the next few weeks," said Ragain. "You'll see the field start to go in starting in December, the canopies will be up in January, and then the big thing that's really going to be impactful to the outside visual is the $5 million sculpture at the main entrance. That's going to be a huge deal."
Construction on the venue began just under a year ago, and the club hosted a topping off ceremony this past May as the final beam was put into place for the venue's main structure. Ragain is looking forward to welcoming fans to the facility, part of Colorado Springs' City for Champions project across downtown.
"What I love about the stadium we've put together is even at 8,000 seats there's a wide variety of seating types, of viewing types. Fans will never be disconnected from the game," said Ragain. "A lot of times you get these experiences in indoor venues. It's pretty special to be doing this in an outdoor venue. People are going to love it."

Vacations offer an opportunity to unplug, and these days that's so important — but with all the electronic stimuli, unplugging has become a true luxury. But there can be more to vacationing than sitting on a lounge chair and staring at the ocean. Vacations have given many people opportunities to explore sacred locations.
Machu Picchu welcomed 1.5 million people last summer. Even in our own American backyard, holy places of Indian ancestry dotted throughout the states welcome hundreds of visitors.
Vacations offer a way to let go of work schedules, family, and stress — and spiritual vacations add depth to traveling as we become transported out of familiar surroundings. Instead of walking in the woods (which is nice too), now walk up to an ancient stone circle or hilltop monastery, in the case of Nepal or Tibet.
Traveling opens the heart and our perspectives to see other cultures and their ways of living. Now, with the popularity of Bali and Peru as yoga meccas, vacations have been truly transformed.
Spiritual travel brings ancient people alive. In the many faces and through the eyes of the different cultures, piece-by-piece and smile-by-smile, we experience wiser and deeper parts of our own self. It is an opportunity to discover our inner truth and to personally transform.
I led my first spiritual retreat to Hawaii for a sacred event called the Harmonic Convergence in 1987. It, of course, had a purpose as we gathered to gain deeper spiritual awareness. I didn't stop there — I continued to Peru and Bali in 1998 and 1999, then to India, Tibet, Nepal, Mexican Yucatan, England, Scotland, and Egypt.
In Egypt, the stones of the temples and pyramids hold an ancient book of record, as well as energetic and sacred memory. Current landscapes are often built over older civilizations and walking can stir memories. Sailing down the Nile can stir deep memories as perhaps a pharaoh, or hiking the Inca trail at Machu Picchu remembers past lives as Inca warriors.
Sometimes all we need to do is walk the land, the actual steps taken become a déjà vu and we begin to remember. It's as though we can connect the dots of ancient civilizations and wholeness is brought back. Once the memory is conscious we can release the lesson and move on.
Australia, Asia, India, Thailand, Bali, and Singapore exemplify Lemurian energy. While Ireland, England, Portugal, contribute to the Atlantean energy and seeding of the original consciousness of Earth. The Himalaya Mountains sing to the Soul. Northern India holds the memory of enlightened masters like Buddha and Jesus, teachers we would choose as role models to awaken, and now the home of the Dalai Lama.
Spiritual travel then offers an opportunity to accelerate personal healing and awakening. As we venture to foreign locations, we pick up threads of memory from one location to the next — weaving a beautiful tapestry of experiences. The actual physical journey, step-by-step, expands us along with the group energy, as spiritual trips stimulate personal change.
It is a wonderful way to see ancient cultures, plus incorporate a vacation all at the same time. Discover personal truth, enlighten spirit, and awaken the heart by embarking on a spiritual vacation.

Now this is what life is all about, and importantly, what wedding's are all about. Actually, let's forget the whole wedding thing for a moment, Sarah and Paul's day was all about having their family and friends together, in the same place at the same time, and on a wedding day that really is the most important thing.
I met Sarah at her parents home, a place full of family history, pictures of grandparents, paintings from travel, and a place that I am sure would evoke a thousand memories for Sarah, so the perfect spot for bridal prep.
My fellow photo taker Abi met with Paul at his parents house, seeing the images that Abi captured really made me realise how important family is to both Sarah and Paul, you can really see the love between them all.
After the preparations we headed to the church, St Peter & St Paul in Bromley. The ceremony was pretty fantastic, everyone watching with happiness as Sarah and Paul exchanged their vows. The church is where the day continued, this was a real DIY wedding, with everyone putting so much effort into the day, the reception room decorated by Sarah and Paul and their family the day before, I was a little speechless when I first walked into the room, it looked amazing.
This felt like a real family party, the dancing, the band, it was a perfect way to finish Sarah and Paul's wedding, a day celebrating their marriage, and time spent with all of their loved ones.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this question, but I'm looking for site or ideas for creating a fun and interactive switching game for my scouts to have fun with. I'd like to set up some track with switches and sidings to create a puzzle like game where the kids have to problem solve and get things to the right place. I appreciate anyone's comments.
Here is a link to the classic "time saver" puzzle.
Our club, the SDGRS (www.sdgrs.com) brings a timesaver to the annual Scout meeting each year... we have to original one in our model train museum.
Works nicely, and there's a lot of history behind it, as well as giving a consistent challenge where the Scouts can have something to gauge their performance by.
Thanks for the links!! I am ready to get started building the "time saver" and giving the scouts a fun challenge. We are also planning a near future trip taking Amtrak to Sacramento to visit the train museum in Old Town.
You said - "we have to original one in our model train museum."
I was unaware the original John Allen Puzzle survived the fire after his death. Do you know of the background story behind this and how it ended up in the museum?
I missed this one Ric... there were two of them originally, note the single switch to nowhere at the top center? that connected to it's mate.
Richard, if you are going to do this, you really need somebody dynamic that will not only relate to the kids but make them want to get involved. Ric did an excellent job of this in York (the most patient person I have ever seen), and he really got the kids interested in wanting to run the trains correctly. He taught them hand and whistle signals as well as introduced them to truly operating the trains.
Thanks for pointing me back to this site. I've been here many times, but just overlooked the part about the original puzzle. Very interesting and I've gone back and reread all of it. Its still a great puzzle, subject and a bit of model railroad history.
This is why I build models, run them roundy round and take pictures. The rest is too stressful.
Me, I just take a manifest list, make up a local, deliver the goods, enjoy an adult beverage.
I haven't completed any of the online ones. I keep mousetrapping myself. Ya know, to me, its too much like work.
I've always worked "like cars" for "like cars", in other words a box car for a box car and a tank car for a tank car. This doesn't quite work with the "time or number of moves" scoring, because in some cases finding a place for the car you removed before delivery of the new car is quite the challenge. Once all inbound cars are delivered, then you can make up your train to get out of town. Limited space on the tracks, really limits where outbound cars can be stored.
For the boy scouts; I think the brakemen on the ground would be using hand signals to guide the engineer, as a team effort.
A conductor can present the list and guide their choices.
We were given pretty clear parameters for the Boy Scouts, to accomplish a task independently to achieve a merit badge.
I think teaming would make that more difficult. We are going to have our larger incarnation of the Timesaver at their yearly meeting again.


Wood turned fruit is very popular. It's a great display item for your home and looks quite good in a wood turned bowl. Choose your type of fruit as they can all pretty much be turned. Some additional carving might help some of them look more realistic!
In this photo tutorial, John tells us that apples (and I imagine other fruit) sells well at craft fairs. He then explains how he uses a template to get the shape right. This could apply to all kinds of fruit. He then uses a screw chuck, padded by leather to turn the apple shape. This is a very good tutorial to learn the basics of turning fruit!
This project of making wooden fruit comes from Keith's wonderful wood called, "Woodturning, A Foundation Course". Both an apple and a pear are shown!


b>Agency News - Colombo, Sri Lanka, Sun 16 Sep 2002 — With a cease-fire holding intact, Sri Lanka opens its first peace talks in seven years today, hoping that the international setting will force its Tamil foes to think twice before taking up their guns again. The three-day session is being held at a secluded naval base in Thailand.
"Our nation has resolved, with a firmness of conviction that has served us well at the most critical moments in our long and eventful history, that a sea change is necessary, now that the tempests have abated. Nothing is as evident in all substantial shades of public opinion in our country today as the unquenchable thirst for peace, dignity and opportunity for all our people. The wellsprings of a cultural tradition that derives from abiding and spontaneous respect for diversity and pluralism in their ramifications throughout society fortify us as we prepare to make pivotal decisions, for ourselves and for generations to come, at the crossroads of history. This was stated by. G L Peiris, head of the Sri Lankan delegation at the inaugural session of the Peace Talks at Sattahip, Thailand, on Monday 16 September 2002.

So far there has been no reply to the request made by the President to appoint her nominee for talks, Amunugama pointed out.

Twenty years of armed conflict cannot be resolved overnight.
There exists today a state of relative peace in Sri Lanka, built on the ceasefire agreement in force since February. This relative peace indicates that ultimately a political settlement of the ethnic conflict can be found. In this quest, the parties cannot be left alone. Neither can the accompaniment of the Norwegian Government suffice. They need to be accompanied by the entire international community. It has been a long and, at times, thorny process to get this far. No less difficult times are ahead. The parties will confront problems that can only be solved through painstaking effort and painful compromise. Close to twenty years of armed conflict cannot be resolved overnight. Coming from a very difficult past, Sri Lanka has no easy way forward. This was said by Vidar Helgesen, State Secretary, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the inaugural session of the Peace Talks at Sattahip, Thailand, on Monday 16 September 2002 .


I'm trying to find time to finish up some posts I've had in draft phase for weeks, but am having trouble finding the time — hopefully, I'll finish up a nice long post about a paper I have out tonight or tomorrow.
In the meantime, I came across this interesting map from the Center for American Progress website. They put together a map showing carbon dioxide emissions per state in 2005. If you click on the map below it'll take you to their site. When you click on each state, it'll give you the per captia amount (in metric tons).
The lighter blue colors are the states with the lowest per capita emissions whereas the darkest blue are the highest.
I live in California, which probably has the highest total emissions (due to its high population) — possibly, maybe somebody can look up that map — but has relatively low (for the States) emissions by person.
How do they allocate electricity produced in one state and exported to another? Because the first thing I see here is that all the coal states are very dark, which is unfair if that electricity is used by New Yorkers and Californians.
Lab Lemming … yeah, that's a good point, I'm not sure if these numbers take that into account … doesn't look like it.
Lab Lemming makes a good point, my guess is that the map makers were trying to oversimplify a complex topic.
what's that saying again, oh yeah 'all statistics lie'.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — More than 4,000 condoms are being delivered to the country's "most romantic" cities in an attempt to raise awareness of the world's endangered species.
Recently, USA Today called St. Paul, Minn. the most romantic getaway in the United States, with the runners up including Savannah, Ga.; Charleston, S.C.; New Orleans; Naples, Fla.; and Honolulu.
The Center for Biological Diversity announced its intention to distribute condoms to these cities in time for Valentine's Day.
"Valentine's Day is the perfect time to spread a message of love by speaking out about human population growth and endangered species protection," Taralynn Reynolds, population and sustainability organizer at the Center, said. "They're also a fun way to get people talking about how our growing human population — which now tops 7 billion — isn't leaving much room for other species."
The condoms feature pictures of animals like polar bears, leatherback turtles and dwarf seahorses.
