No matter where you live, the allure of travel to a locale quite different from your own is hard to resist for any landscape photographer. And chances are, there are few places anywhere in the world as different from where you're sitting right now than Iceland. Put simply, it's a photographer's dream destination. The landscape is incredible, with pitch-black volcanic terrain, immense glaciers and towering volcanoes. And to top it off, airfare can be very reasonable and in-land travel is easy to arrange. With all this going for it, Iceland has long been on my list of places to photograph. And not long ago, I had the opportunity to explore this incredible terrain and create some memorable images.
In this four page article I'll share with you my experience of shooting with fellow photographers in Iceland, introduce you to some remarkable areas of the country to photograph and provide some behind the scenes info for two of my favorite images from the trip.
Planning ahead: season and location
|The northern lights (Aurora Borealis) over Jökulsárlón lagoon 30sec, f/2.8, ISO3200

The green columns shining above the snowy landscape is a spectacle seen only when it's cold.
As with any destination, the first question my colleagues and I had to consider was which season to travel. Iceland in winter offers a completely different photographic experience than in the summer. The green, lush scenery of the warmer months is replaced by a white, cold ice-desert. Temperatures drop to a bone-chilling sub-zero degrees Fahrenheit, winds howl and conditions are tough. But for us, this was all part of the adventure and a small price to pay for the most unique shooting experience we could imagine.
That's because no other season allows you to walk on frozen lagoons right up to a huge glacier. Only during the winter season of late September through March is it safe to venture into ice caves. It's never dark enough to witness the northern lights in the summer. And from autumn through spring sunrises and sunsets are relatively short, and the light is relatively harsh during the rest of the day. It's also certainly worth mentioning that winter airfare to Iceland can be as much as 50% lower than other times of the year! Given all of this, we knew that we were headed into an icy escapade.
|Dormant volcano of Öræfajökull 10sec, f/16, ISO100
Canon 5D Mark II, Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II, Lee GND and ND filters, Heliopan CPL.
The next big task was deciding which region of Iceland to visit. With only a two-week itinerary planned, we would need to concentrate on a specific area of the country to maximize the time spent shooting, versus traveling. After much research, which included consulting Icelandic photographers and friends who had visited the country, as well as looking at hundreds of published images, we concluded that southern Iceland was our best bet.
In the South you'll find glaciers, lagoons, waterfalls and beaches - all readily accessible by car. Crucially though, since Iceland is located so far north, the winter sun both rises and sets to the south, providing some very unique photographic opportunities. As a bonus, the sun maintains a low angle throughout the day, providing soft side-lighting that is great for landscape photography.

Kudos to Samyang.
Some great shots.
Tempting, but ... surely the Canadians can claim similar marvels--right a their own front curbs. And curling too! Eh?
Iceland offers 4-5 hours of daylight in December, and the sun's arc barely reaches a few degrees above the horizon. The good news is that you get cheap air fare and hotel, perhaps with complementary vodka, and don't have to rise early, since it is dark until 10AM. The other side of the coin is that you have little time to see things or go anywhere, and a return drive in the dark is hazardous unless you stick to the better roads. If there is any wind, time lapse shots of auroras may be hard to obtain. Plus, there is the problem of vapor formation on lenses of cameras brought in and out of the cold. Fingers get too numb (either from cold or too much juice) to control dials, operate a phone, or even keep ahold of the bottle, as you hole up for that long last night in the remote uncharted ice cave.
Well, I'd say the lack of curling options is more of an advantage, isn't it? ;)
Seriously speaking, the light-hours thing is a HUGE misconception. In Iceland you actually have MORE shooting time than other countries, since the whole daylight time (including 1.5 hours of twilight, 1.5 hours of sunrise, 4-5 hours of daylight, 1.5 hours of sunset and 1.5 additional hours of twilight) offers perfect shooting light. This is so much more compared to any other place I've ever visited, since you mostly have max half hour of sunrise and half hour of sunset to shoot. The limiting factor for me wa always the cold and the hunger, never the light hours!
Not having to rise early is definitely a huge plus for the lazy!
I've actually never faced vapor on the lens, even after moving from the super-warm hotel to the freezing outside. Numb fingers is another story...
Great article, great pictures. And finally some clever use of the HDR technique, which is often way overprocessed, imo.
Have trip planned to Iceland in March 2013 which was originally planned as just site seeing and to see Aurora Borealis (hopefully).
Having recently just got back into photography its now a photo trip as well so this is a well timed and informative article.
Some really good images, just hope I can come back with something somewhere near as good.
I got myself into a photography to capture something like lagoon image, starting with Nikon FM, F2AS....
just fabulous!
Just breathtaking! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful shots!

Pharrell, Minaj lead BET award winners, Richie honored
By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - R&B star Pharrell, rapper Nicki Minaj and newcomer August Alsina led the winners at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) awards on Sunday, which also honored veteran soul singer Lionel Richie.
Pharrell kicked off the show with "Come Get It Bae" and won two awards, including best male R&B/pop artist. Beyonce was named best female R&B/pop singer, and closed the show with a sultry performance of "Partition" with husband Jay Z. The couple also won best collaboration for "Drunk In Love."
Richie, 65, received the lifetime achievement award for his prolific career as part of Motown group The Commodores and as a solo artist.
"Soul is a feeling, not a color. Talent is a god given gift and not a category, and out of the box is the magical place where true talent goes to thrive and breathe," Richie said as he accepted the award.
John Legend, Ledisi and Yolanda performed Richie's classic love songs "Hello", "Still" and The Commodores' "Brick House" and "Jesus is Love". Richie sang "Easy" and "All Night Long".
The BET awards, held in Los Angeles, celebrates black musicians, actors and athletes. It is hosted by cable TV network Black Entertainment Television, part of Viacom Inc., and the show was preceded by violence at unofficial parties ahead of the show in which one person was killed.
New Orleans singer Alsina was named best new artist and Lil Wayne's rap collective Young Money scored best group.
Drake won best male hip hop artist, but was not available to collect his award. Minaj was named best female hip hop artist and threw a little dig at other rappers by saying: "When you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it." Continued...

In the '80s, Transformers and Go-Bots were king. I loved playing with those toys, shifting them from one thing to the other. But toy companies must have thought that girls wouldn't want to play with race-car robots. So instead, we were offered toys like Sweet Secrets, a collection of kiddy grooming products that turned into dolls. Check this old commercial, which features an oppressive brother who, inexplicably leaves and returns with the world's longest mullet.
Join The Conversation
What mullet? That's totally a towel!
OK, that was really, really weird. I had one and would love to find it. Sweet secrets, sweet secrets...
Oh my lord, I loved these!!!
Totes cute! Wow. I would've loved these when I was a kid; I was totally into that girly stuff.
haha, that is so creepy...
Oh my lord, I forgot about these!!!! My sister and I definitely had a few of them! I'm pretty sure they were around in the mid-80s, maybe 1985/1986.
@ sake--- I was just going to say that! He was on his way to the bathroom, and came out with the towel draped over his shoulder.
...also, it's not a jacket either! lol, it's a blue towel. :)
OMG! that just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! i used to carry mine around all the time!! ...i don't remember having the brush or the comb though... lol.
mullet!! omg that would be so funny if it was a mullet!!
Oh man, it didn't ring a bell until I watched the video -- I definitely had this!
I definitely owned both the comb and brush, and I'm sure neither did anything for my hair. :) Thanks for the nostalgia!
I had these! You just brought back a fond childhood memory.
Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I loved these and had completely forgotten about them!
I wondered where the mullet was, lol. looks like a leather jacket. I'm too young to remember sweet secrets lol
I totally had one of these!
I loved these!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just watched the commercial for Sweet Sixteen makeup too .... hilarious!
I remember these ... hahahaha.
I loved these!!!!!!!!! My sister and I had a "stereo" that turned into a beauty salon.
You thought it was a mullet? :D heehee!
That's a jacket? Color me embarrassed. (I knew I needed new glasses.)
its not a mullet, he has a jacket on his shoulder. Also why does it sound like hes hitting on her?
Mullet? He's got a jacket on his shoulder.
I remember those. I probably wanted one.

Haas, the 14th seed from Germany, won his first three career meetings with Ginepri but lost in an entertaining five-setter in Flushing Meadows last year. He ensured history did not repeat itself, although he blew a two-set advantage to allow the 18th seed the chance to complete an amazing recovery.
However, Haas put paid to Ginepri's comeback by triumphing in a one-sided fifth-set tie-break to seal a 7-6 (7/1) 6-4 3-6 3-6 7-6 (7/1) win in three hours 25 minutes at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
After going two sets behind, Ginepri, who lost to Andre Agassi at the semi-final stage at Flushing Meadows last year, broke the German once in the third set and three times in the fourth to level the match.
With the crowd overwhelmingly on his side, Ginepri appeared on the verge of victory when he opened up a 4-3 fifth-set edge and took Haas, who was serving, to 15-40 in the eighth game.
The German managed to hold but with the set having progressed to 6-5, he had to call for a trainer at the change-over because he was having breathing difficulties.
After being worked on for a few minutes, Haas returned to hold serve and force the decisive tie-break.
Ginepri won the opening point on serve, but it was all the American could muster as Haas booked a spot in the round of 16 and a clash with 2000 champion Marat Safin, who beat Belgium's Olivier Rochus 6-3 6-2 6-3.

When the activities of the coagulation and fibrinolytic cascades are properly regulated, so that fibrin (FN) deposition and removal are properly balanced, the vascular system is protected from catastrophic blood loss at the site of an injury, while its fluidity is ensured elsewhere. When these activities are not properly regulated, however, the organism is subjected to either excessive bleeding or thrombosis. Thrombomodulin on the endothelial cell is very important in this regulation because it converts thrombin to an anticoagulant enzyme by directing it toward the activation of protein C. It also converts thrombin to an antifibrinolytic enzyme by directing it toward the activation of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI). By doing so, it creates a direct molecular connection between the coagulation and fibrinolytic cascades, such that activation of the former suppresses the activity of the latter. Recent studies indicate that the TAFI pathway functions in vivo and is likely relevant in maintaining the proper balance between FN deposition and removal. Whether it will be a target for pharmaceutical manipulation of this balance remains to be determined.

(The fourth book in the Mythmaker series)
A novel by Tracy Dunham
AVALON Proudly Presents THE MYTHMAKER SERIES By Tracy Dunham The Old American West usually conjures up images of lean and hungry cowboys fighting for their land. Yet the women of the West faced an equally difficult, if different, challenge in carving out a future for themselves and their families. One such heroic woman is Elizabeth McFarland, known to her adopted Native American tribe as THE TRAIL TO MEDICINE LODGE -- Elizabeth McFarland, daughter of an army colonel, has been captured by the Kiowa. Her brother, Noble, and his half-Comanche best friend, Johnny Two Hats, set out to rescue her. None of their lives will ever be the same. THE TRAIL OF MYTHMAKER -- Surviving capture, Elizabeth has become a healer known to her clan as Mythmaker. But she is forced to return to the white world in order to seek help in freeing her husband, Johnny Two Hats, who has been wrongly arrested for participating in a massacre of seven men. How will Mythmaker manage the meeting of her old world and the new? THE LONG TRAIL HOME - Along with Johnny Two Hats, Elizabeth sets out to find her adopted Indian family. As Mythmaker searches, Johnny is drawn to a Kiowa prophet who promises the return of the buffalo. Skeptical and at odds with Johnny over their future, Mythmaker must make a choice.

I feel both tied and ill. I have ate and drank only unhealthy things for me. There is a strange stench in the air and I can't help but feel I should be doing something else with my spare time. As I am writing this we are coming to the end of "PADDAGEDDON". A ridiculous night of intense gaming action by one man. It started at 20:00 and it is now 09:30. It has been 13 and a half hours of none stop playing of Dead Rising 2.
So, for the sake of his Identity remaining unknown I shall refer to him as Mr Z (Z for Zombie) in this blog.
So, on with an improv interview as he sits next to me, still playing the game. He currently has 4 hours remaining out of the 72 before the military arrive.
Me: So overall impressions of the game?
Mr Z: It is very enjoyable, doesn't offer much different from the old one, but if you like the old one you should enjoy this. The custom weapons are a great addition.
Me: Favourite part of the game so far?
Mr Z: The Psycopath on rollerblades chasing you with a flamethrower, Slappy I think he is called (let it be known that various viewers insisted he hide out in a liquor store to gain health, this did not work as it just kept making him throw up and he failed to advance causing many arguments).
Me: We have rented this game, but would you recommend buying it for the price tag of what, 50 Euros, Pounds, Dollars?
Mr Z: If you like the first game, definitely get it.
Me: If you haven't played the first game?
Mr Z: If your into action games wait until the price comes down a bit, but you don't need to play the first game to follow the story though.
I will now let him get back to his carnage. For me, after watching the game for a very long time all I can say is it looks great and really enjoyable. Just running round killing zombies, having some great side quests and creepy bosses are awesome. I don't really like how once again women in a game are treated as mere sex objects with large cleavage. I think it is lazy writing and Capcom should really take a look at Valves work in Half Life 2. However as Mr Z said, the custom weapons which is the ability to combine items to make weapons is great. Get a bat, add nails to it. Combine two axes with a sledge hammer. How about some spray paint to combine with a cone to make a fog horn.
I also think this game looks great. We have it running on a full HD TV and it looks very crisp and smooth, there have been no slow downs to report and the huge selection of detailed items surpasses the first. There are of course some moments that let this game down which are in fact moments to do with the realism of the game. The dialogue at times is atrocious. The boss battles seem to be annoying as when you attack someone they don't react to the damage taken. By this I mean if you shoot someone point blank range in the face, they will take damage but just keep moving forwards. Also the camera angle at times can be annoying and misleading. But that aside, I think this game is a lot of fun. What can be more fun then killing hordes and hordes of zombies.
Now, this isn't an actual review like the ones I normally write as I haven't actually played the game. Just watched it been played for a large amount of time. But as I said, everyone had a lot of fun with a lot of beer, pizza, sweets being consumed with not a girl in sight. This is old school gaming at its best. None of this online co op crap. Six guys, sat down acting like zombies all night which considering the game is rather Ironic.

Earl Anderza
Peter Earl Anderza (October 24, 1933 – 1982)[1] was an American West Coast jazz alto saxophonist who recorded only two albums. Outa Sight (Pacific Jazz 1962, features pianist Jack Wilson and drummer Donald Dean. The bassist is either Jimmy Bond or George Morrow. A second recording date followed in 1963, featuring Hadley Caliman (ts), Dupree Bolton (t), Roosevelt Wardell (p), Clarence Jones (b), and Chuck Carter (d).
Anderza's short and troubled life is the matter of a chapter of San Quentin Jazz Band, by Pierre Briançon which chronicled the gathering of top jazz musicians in the California prison in the early sixties. He was incarcerated in San Quentin from May, 1959 till October, 1962 and then from June to September, 1964. San Quentin State Prison is where Anderza met Bolton, and played with Art Pepper, among others.[2][3]

In the Garden of Stone
Susan Tekulve
Hub City Press
$17.95 paperback
5½ x 8½
344 pages
May 1, 2013
Shortly before daybreak in War, West Virginia, a passing train derails and spills an avalanche of coal over 16-year-old Emma Palmisano's house, trapping her sleeping family inside. The year is 1924, and the remote mines of Appalachia have filled with families like Emma's—poor immigrant laborers building new lives half a world away from the island of Sicily.
Emma awakens in total darkness to the voice of a railroad man, Caleb Sypher, who is digging her out from the suffocating coal. From his pocket, he removes two spotless handkerchiefs and tenderly cleans Emma's bare feet. Though she knows little else about this railroad man, Emma marries him a week later. Caleb delivers her from the gritty coal camp to 34 acres of pristine Virginia mountain farmland.
Winner of the South Carolina First Novel Prize in 2012, In the Garden of Stone is a multi-generational tale about the nature of power and pride, love and loss, and how one impoverished family endures estrangement from the land and each other in order to unearth the rich seams of forgiveness.
Emma gives birth to a son, Dean, but the family's life is shattered by a hobo's bullet at the railroad station; the boy grows up early, becoming a remote man with fierce and unpredictable loyalties. Dean's daughter, Hannah, forsakes her heritage and wanders far from home, in the end reconnecting with the Sypher family in the wildest place of all, the human heart. Bleak, harrowing, and beautifully told, In the Garden of Stone, is a haunting saga of endurance and redemption.
- South Carolina First Novel Prize
- 2014 IPPY Award Gold Regional Fiction: South
" 'You ever want to be somebody else?' Herein the soft, slow, cool story of human raveling and unraveling. There is always a quiet peace that descends when I read Susan Tekulve. These still waters, they run mighty deep." ―Robert Olmstead, author of The Coldest Night
"Prepare yourself for the pleasures of a story well written, well told. Prepare for the simple redolent pleasures of fresh-baked bread and for heartbreak, too, and the fevered tragic crimes of and from poverty. Prepare also to witness the sympathetic yearning that rises from the solitary heart for the pleasures and sorrows of life, reaching out of the stone of art to be sculpted. This is a beautifully sculpted novel of fully realized characters whose story will grip you from start to finish." ―Thomas E. Kennedy, author of Falling Sideways and In the Company of Angels
"In the Garden of Stone is a beautifully written saga telling the story of successive generations of a West Virginia family living out their lives in one particular spot of earth. There's a remarkable sensitivity to the mystery of how place affects human souls, and the descriptions of the land are masterful. This is a writer who definitely has what it takes to make a real contribution to Southern literature." —Josephine Humphreys, author of Nowhere Else on Earth

PURPOSE: This study measured resident attitudes and skills, using a Likert scale, before and after a year of training on how to do code status discussions at Community Regional Medical Center as part of the University of California, San Francisco, Fresno Internal Medicine Medical Education Program.
METHODS: We used a 12 question form with a standard Likert scale. At the start of the intervention every resident completed the form and after one year of training the residents completed the same form again. During the year of training the program introduced 5 new lectures. We created 6 team-learning conferences titled. We also provided education to the attending physicians and had them directly observe code status discussions and provide feedback to the residents using an observed clinical skills exam format.
RESULTS: The residents were compared as individuals and as a group against their own original answers. We performed analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a Bonferonni multiple comparison post-hoc test (parametric test of means) we also ran the non-parametric Kruskal Wallace test to verify that they were concordant. Questions 1-5 and 9-10, which dealt with comfort and confidence all showed a significant improvement between all groups compared (1-5 and 9; p value less than or equal to 0.001, 10; p=0.016) while 6-8 and 11-12 were not significantly improved (p>0.05). Questions 6-7 dealt with familiarity with legal requirements and the End-of-Life Handbook. Question 8 dealt with adequacy of their residency training in code status discussions. Question 11 dealt with comfort speaking to a different ethnic group. Question 12, about the importance of training, had nearly 100% "Strongly Agree" before and after the year.
CONCLUSIONS: We were able to significantly improve the comfort level and skill of residents performing code status discussions—but the residents still self-reported inadequacy of the residency program in this specific area of training.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Overall this study provides some successful ways that teaching programs can use to improve resident comfort and skill performing code status or advance directive discussions but the additional instruction was unable to improve residents attitudes about the residency program's training in this area.

text: In an effort to aid in the understanding of what makes a "quality Blu-ray," the point cannot be made too often that Blu-ray is merely a system that plays back discs on which data has been pressed or burned. It's a holding device, in many ways no different than a bottle used to hold liquid. One can fill that bottle with pure mountain water, with impure water from a poor city system, or for that matter with a nice Chateau Petrus. It's still a bottle filled with liquid. The nice thing about Blu-ray, as opposed to standard definition DVD, or even Toshiba's HD system, is that it can hold enough data to allow for extremely high quality reproduction of motion pictures in a home theater environment. While a "quality Blu-ray" can be shiny, bright and clean -- think a Pixar release -- it can also be dark, grimy, grainy and low in the areas of color saturation, contrast, blacks and whites. The important thing is that it should look as closely as possible to the original film or video elements and their intended look when printed to positive stock or run as video or data. A "quality Blu-ray" does not necessarily take on the visual parameters of a high def baseball game. Whether mastered from 16, 35 or 65mm film, from data files or HD recordings, Blu-ray has the capability, but no guarantee of reproducing the original to a stunning degree. While the debate may continue, those with an understanding of cinema need only take a look at the dregs of data pressed to Blu-ray, ie. The Longest Day, Patton or Gangs of New York. Case in point: Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys, making its Blu-ray debut, after numerous incarnations on VHS, laserdisc, DVD and HD. I've prefaced my comments because I'm certain that there will be comments that 12 Monkeys is soft, grainy, low in contrast in areas, has improper black levels, seems to glow in places and a myriad of other "problems." None of these are problems. To the best of my memory, 12 Monkeys looks very, very close to what we saw in theaters when it was released at the end of December of 1995. And this couldn't make me happier. Universal's new Blu-ray has been upgraded from the earlier HD variant, and now offers uncompressed audio in the form of DTS-HD Master 5.1. Formatted properly as 1.85:1, and with the main titles opened slightly to 1.66, 12 Monkeys has finally reached its critical mass, beautifully reproduced on Blu-ray. Those who have never seen Mr. Gilliam's work are in for a treat. Those who have can now be content that his film has finally made it to digital perfection. As an aside, and to bring things full circle, anyone who appreciated 12 Monkeys needs to get their hands on a copy of Chris Marker's 1963 short film, La Jetee, available from Criterion. Highly Recommended. RAH

UPDATE 5-Obama rejects Keystone XL pipeline in win for greens
(Adds quotes from Senator Hoeven on potential challenges, Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau, U.S. state department official)
By Timothy Gardner and Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON Nov 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday rejected the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada in a victory for environmentalists who campaigned against the project for more than seven years.
"The pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy," Obama told a press conference. He said it would not reduce gasoline prices, and shipping "dirtier" crude from Canada would not increase U.S. energy security.
The denial of TransCanada Corp's more than 800,000 barrels per day project will make it more difficult for producers to develop the province of Alberta's oil sands. It could also put the United States in a stronger position at global climate talks that start in Paris on Nov. 30 in which countries will aim to reach a deal to slow global warming.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who determined the pipeline was not in the country's interest before Obama's final decision, said approving Keystone "would significantly undermine our ability to continue leading the world in combating climate change."
Keystone XL would have linked existing pipeline networks in Canada and the United States to bring crude from Alberta and North Dakota to refineries in Illinois and, eventually, the Gulf of Mexico coast.
TransCanada first sought the required presidential permit for the cross-border section in 2008 but the proposal provoked a wave of environmental activism that turned Keystone XL into a rallying cry to fight climate change. Blocking Keystone became a litmus test of the green movement's ability to hinder fossil fuel extraction in Canada's oil sands.
"This is a big win," said Bill McKibben, co-founder of the environmental group 350.org which helped make Keystone a symbol of a movement to slow global oil output. Obama's decision "is nothing short of historic, and sets an important precedent that should send shockwaves through the fossil fuel industry." Continued...

ARVSS thanks all the wonderful donors who donated gifts, and items for the silent auction. There was a large list of donors, but the gratitude for the donors was larger. And we are surely grateful for the amazing bidders, adopters, and visitors that came to the picnic to help make it a success. At the end of the day, ARVSS raised over $1200 that will be used for the food, veterinary care and medications for dogs that continue to come into the rescue that need our help.
The picnic menu consisted of pulled pork sandwiches, pickles, coleslaw, chips, watermelon, cookies, and frozen treats for people, and homemade frozen ice-cream for the dogs. All of the delicious food was generously donated to ARVSS from Sysco. Monona Catering donated the utensils, and food service supplies that we could not have done without.
Donors of the silent auction included Food Fight Restaurant Group, The Dog Den, Mother Earth Organics, Sit Means Sit, Bad Dog Frida, The Nitty Gritty, Hu Hot, Ian's Pizza, Batch Bakehouse, Willy Street Co-op, Harbor Athletic Club, Capital Brewery, Eno Vino Wine Bar and Bistro, Madison Capitols, All Pets Veterinary Clinic, Sauk Point Veterinary Clinic, Schwoegler's Bowling, Glass Nickel Pizza, and the Guenther Family (adopted Luna (fka Priscilla) 2016).
The best part of the day was seeing the former rescues and their forever families that stopped by! We saw our dog friends that were adopted in 2016, all the way back to 2008. Seeing the dogs that found their forever homes over the last 10 years keeps us looking forward to the next 10 years!
Thank you for the support and adoptions at the picnic/silent auction and over the last 10 years, and cheers to the next 10 years!

So what exactly is foam art? Basically, foam latte art is a method making coffee through pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso, then creating a pattern or design on the surface of the froth. This froth can even be embellished by "drawing" on the top layer of the foam with a frothing wand.
It's a touch that has grown in popularity and there are now friendly competitions among local coffee shop baristas. You can have a go, yourself. If you want to impress your family or co-workers, you can create your own foam art. Here's how:
And if you really are going to try that, you are an espresso junkie. Join the club. And consider getting your own machine – if you haven't already. But if you're a real junkie you'll get some for your friends, too, so you'll know they'll be a fresh brew waiting when you visit.
As homeowners and workplaces strive to feed their need for caffeine, espresso machines are growing increasingly popular. In order to get the most out of your investment, however, you need to know how to find the best machines to fit your particular needs. To help you get started on your journey to enjoying a delicious cup of Joe and creating your own foam latte masterpieces, here are a few tips for selecting the best espresso machines.
Sheer Simplicity
If you're not one of those people who likes to break out the instruction manual and figure out how all the pulls and levers work, you should focus on finding an espresso maker with push button simplicity. These are usually the best espresso makers for office environments, because it allows employees to get their choice of coffee, espresso, lattes, etc. without having to do much thinking – or breaking.
Unfortunately, the simplest machines are generally pricier - especially in the commercial sector. If money is not an object, however, a great option is the Rancilio Egro 5511 SuperAutomatic which will grind coffee to order and make a wide range of drinks at the touch of a button. Smaller offices with a lower budget would benefit from a simplistic machine like the Gaggia Swing Up, while homeowners will prefer the low-cost, smaller-serving options of machines like the Saeco Odea Giro ReDesign espresso maker.
Have It All
If you want options, the best espresso machines to look at are those which offer the whole hot-beverage spectrum (coffee, espresso, late, cappuccino, tea). The WMF Bistro-1 UltraAutomatic espresso maker, for example, is ideal for large business enterprises who want to provide their employees with the full range of beverage options. Smaller companies and homes do not need such a high-volume output espresso machine and would benefit from models like the Saeco Vienna Plus SuperAutomatic.
Back to the Foam Art
Do you want to get creative with foam art? Generally, SuperAutomatic espresso makers will allow you to froth your milk with an external frothing wand, whereas UltraAutomatic makers will do the frothing for you. Because of this, SuperAutomatics are the best espresso machines for getting fancy. Happy espresso making!

Plans to set up the UK's largest dairy farm have been withdrawn by Nocton Dairies in response to Environment Agency concerns that the "Mega Dairy" could cause pollution in the ground and soil surrounding the farm.
Plans to set up the UK's largest dairy farm have been withdrawn by Nocton Dairies in response to Environment Agency concerns that the "Mega Dairy" could cause pollution in the ground and soil surrounding the farm.
Nocton Dairies Ltd has written to North Kesteven District Council to formally withdraw its application for planning permission to build the 3,770 cow dairy farm at Nocton Heath, Lincolnshire.
A statement issued by the company yesterday (February 17) claimed: "The sole reason for this decision is the response of the Environment Agency, which has maintained its objection to the proposal."
"The Environment Agency's grounds are lack of information about risks posed to the aquifer underlying the site and uncertainty about the extent of the benefits associated with the change in land use.
"Despite our best efforts to address these concerns […] lack of relevant research has made it impossible to provide the reassurances required by the Environment Agency that livestock farming is an appropriate use of land at this site."
Proposals for the dairy had received strenuous objections from a number of individuals or organisations, although Nocton Dairies stated that this had no bearing on its decision.
Campaigns against the dairy included the WSPA Not in my Cuppa campaign, which asked supporters "Would you drink milk from battery cows?" and saw the group team up with Adam Miller (creator of BBC3 puppet show Mongrels) and comedian Kevin Eldon to create the anti-mega dairy anthem "Our love is in your cornflakes – Not in my Cuppa".
Responding to the "fantastic news", WSPA UK director Suzi Morris said: "There was a huge range of reasons why Nocton should not be given the go-ahead. For Not in my Cuppa this was never just about Nocton, but about the wide range of reasons why mega dairies are not the answer to the problems facing the British dairy industry."
Emma Hockridge, head of policy at the Soil Association, said: "This is good news, particularly for struggling small and family dairy farmers. Already up to three dairy farmers give up in Britain every day and the unit was likely to mean yet more small family farms go out of business.
"Nocton was a potential animal welfare disaster and highlighted the way in which our farming systems have become increasingly divorced from what nature intended. Treating animals as little more than factory commodities raises serious questions about both the ethics and the resilience of our present systems for feeding ourselves."
However, she claimed the news was just "one down one to go" and aired hopes that the news would see Midland Pig Producers decide against re-submitting its own planning applications for an intensive pig unit for 2,500 sows and around 20,000 piglets.

County were beaten today at Edgeley Park as two quick fire goals were enough to see Brackley Town come away with the three points. The County fans were introduced to new signing Adam Cowen who made his debut for the club at centre-half.
It was County who started the brighter of the two teams playing good attacking football but were unable to capitalise on their promising play. Adriano Moke was picked out by Nicky Platt a number of times as the winger made life hard for Brackley left back Neil Cartwright and the defender earned a booking for a cynical foul after being left behind by the winger. On 24 minutes, Phil Jevons was unable to direct his header goalwards after a deep cross from Kyle Jacobs. This was followed by Brackley's first real chance of the game as midfielder Glen Walker shot narrowly wide after finding a pocket of space just outside the County box.
It was Jevons who was unlucky not to open the scoring on 33 minutes as he weaved his way into the penalty box to see his strong left foot shot superbly blocked by a wall of Brackley defenders. Debutant Cowen nearly opened his account a minute before half time following an excellent Nicky Platt free kick was just out of reach for the giant defender to nod home.
The teams went into the break at 0-0 and re-emerged to find weather conditions had deteriorated with a gale blowing against County and Brackley tried to capitalise by floating a series of balls into the box from set plays. County nearly managed to grab a goal on the break when a Phil Jevons cross was headed narrowly wide by Kristian Dennis on 52 minutes. County dealt with the aerial attack well with Cowen and Jordan Fagbola dominant in the air although the defence was undone shortly afterwards from an unfortunate ricochet. A Scott Duxbury clearance was deflected into the path of Owen Story who mad no mistake to score with a tidy finish making it 1-0 to Brackley in the 63rdminute.
Moments later relentless chasing from Nicky Platt nearly led to an equaliser as he regained possession on the edge of the box only to find his cross from the by-line desperately cleared. Liam Dickinson replaced Kristian Dennis as County looked to draw level only to find themselves 2-0 down on 73 minutes as Brackley broke effectively with Steve Diggin applying a clinical finish to consign County to their third straight defeat.
The tempo increased in the dying stages as County desperately tried to chase the game and Rhys Turner came close with a well struck shot hitting the post from 20 yards but it wasn't to be.
County: Ormson, Jacobs, Duxbury, Platt (Lofthouse), Fagbola, Cowen, Moses, Dennis (Dickinson), Turner, Jevons, Moke (Howard)
Brackley Town: Turley, Odhiambo, Cartwright (Reid), Towers, Sharpe, Austin, Story Solkhon, Mills (Griffin), Diggin, Walker (Sandy)

The Hawks might be a very different team next season, with some of their key players being free agents and probably gone by the end of the summer. But Atlanta is still a formidable foe, a team that the Clippers will have to bring their A-game to beat.
Speaking of all-time records, the Clippers have lost 76 of the 116 games they played against Atlanta. As with many other teams, the record is a reflection of the awful history the team had before Blake Griffin joined the squad. Another interesting aspect whenever the Hawks and Clippers play is the role of sixth man Jamal Crawford. The backup point guard played for both franchises and won the Sixth man of the year Award for each team. Get your Los Angeles Clippers - Atlanta Hawks tickets 2017 today.

Matching family tree profiles for Peter Atte Wode, I
Immediate Family
About Peter Atte Wode, I
About Peter Atte Wode
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Atte_Wode
He was probably born in Coulsdon in Surrey (now Greater London) according to Manning and Bray's History of Surrey. The precise date of his birth is not known, but it is presumed to have been sometime before 1325. His father was Geoffrey Atte Wode (Abt 1297-1346), a Sergeant at Arms to Edward III and his mother was Anisia. Peter and his wife, Laurencia, had at least one son who was also named Peter Atte Wode (Bef 1363-aft 1384) who was a Knight of the Shire and married Petronilla.
On 15 Mar 1351 Peter Atte Wode and John De Roulegh along with seven others were appointed as "keepers" to the "joint commission for the peace and for labourers" in Surrey. This commission was formed in several counties in England to provide an enforcement enforcement for new laws that had been enacted to regulate labor and provide for peace after the Black Death decimated the population in 1348-49. On 15 Sep 1351 de Roulegh and Peter Atte Wode were removed from their positions on the commission as a result of complaints of impropriety by fellow commissioners. They were both tried and Peter Atte Wode was found to be innocent of the charges. De Rouglegh, however, was found guilty of extorting money from laborers, sent to prison and fined heavily.
Peter became associated with William of Wykeham (1320-1404). His association with Wykeham undoubtedly enhanced his stature and helped increase his wealth. Jean Froissart (1337-1405), the famed chronicler of medieval England and France, says in his Chronicles (1395):
"At this time reigned a priest called William of Wykeham. This William of Wykeham was so much in favor with the King of England, that everything was done by him, and nothing was done without him."
Peter was jointly appointed a Justice in Eyre south of the Trent along with Wykeham on 13 Jul 1361, a position he held until about 1367. The Eyre Court was created to hear cases involving forest law in the Royal Forests of England. Wykeham eventually became the Bishop of Winchester, and was also the Chancellor of England under both Edward III and Richard II.
William of Wykeham was appointed the King's Commissioner in charge of rebuilding Windsor Castle and Clerk of all the King's Works in his Manors of Henley-on-Thames (Oxfordshire) and Easthampstead (Berkshire). E. F. Atwood has found a reference in the Rotulorum to Peter acquiring a commission to rebuild a portion of Windsor Castle during this period (there is no indication which Rotulorum records were used by Atwood during his research).
The Atte Wode's had been in the employ of King Edward III since at least 1341. By 1346 three members of the Atte Wode family were serving in his royal bodyguard as Sergeants-at-Arms, including his father Geoffrey Atte Wode, his grand father Sir William Atte Wode (who had been knighted by the king), and his uncle Richard Atte Wode. Jesse's Memorials of London describes his grandfather's service to Edward III as Captain of the Guard, and The London Letter Books describe Richard's role in moving the invasion fleet down the Thames in 1345 during the Hundred Years' War with France. Based on Peter's land transactions after the successful campaign in 1346, the Atte Wode's seem to have acquired a considerable amount of wealth during this time. E. F. Atwood speculates that this family's treasure was gained as a result of the English success during the war. Froissart makes this observation in his Chronicles:
After the battle of Caen "the Englishmen were lords of the town three days and won great riches, the which they sent by barks and barges to Saint-Saviour by the river of Austrehem, two leagues thence, whereas all their navy lay." T In 1346 Peter Atte Wode and his wife Laurencia recorded the first of many land transactions in Sanderstead in Surrey (now Greater London) and surrounding counties. This would begin a long association with the Atwood family in Sanderstead. While he owned land in several locations (including Woodmansterne acquired in 1360 and Chipstead Manor acquired in 1364), it seems likely that Peter lived at Wood Place in Coulsdon, the ancestral home; in 1350, he was licensed by the Bishop to maintain an oratory (a private chapel) at Wood Place.
On 20 Dec 1382 Laurencia, now a widow, founded a chantry at Newark Priory (which was dissolved in 1538) and endowed a mass for the soul of Peter Atte Wode.
Peter amassed a sizeable estate during his lifetime as the scattered records demonstrate, and he stands an example of the emerging new class of wealthy land owners in England who were not members of the aristocracy but grew wealthy through their association with the royal family. His ancestors would continue to acquire land, particularly in Surrey, construct the large manor house known as Sanderstead Court which is depicted in Neal's Views, continue serve the royal family in a variety of positions, and also become elected as Knights of the Shire.
View Tree for Peter ATTEWADEPeter ATTEWADE (b. Abt. 1245, d. Aft. 1313) Peter ATTEWADE (son of William ATTEWADE) was born Abt. 1245 in Holley House, Coulsdon, Surrey, England, and died Aft. 1313. He married Alice UNKNOWN.
Children of Peter ATTEWADE and Alice UNKNOWN are: i.+William Geoffrey ATTEWADE, b. Abt. 1270, Holley House, Coulsdon, Surrey, England, d. 1345, Woods Place, Surrey, England.
- Following narrative taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanderstead_Court'''
- Sanderstead Court
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- History
The building is located next to the All Saint's Parish Church (c. 1230) in Sanderstead.
The building did not appear on the Tithe map of 1844.[1]
- Sanderstead Court, Surrey
In 1675, the house was a three story, red brick mansion comprising a central core with two large wings at either end which were adorned with decorated chimneys. The central portion of the house had a great room, two stories in height, supported by fluted columns with Corinthian capitals; this great room was probably originally constructed by an earlier Atwood in the 16th century. Many of the rooms in Sanderstead Court were panelled with wood. The Atwood shield with a lion rampant between three acorns, the initials "H.A." (Harman Atwood) and the date "1675" were once were carved in stone over the main entry to Sanderstead Court.
John Preston Neale described the Sanderstead Court's grounds in 1818 by saying, "The site of the Court House is on an eminence, having in front a spacious lawn, skirted by a shrubbery of rich and varied foliage, separated from the adjoining pleasure grounds by a light range of iron palisades. The Park was enlarged by the addition of an Estate, called Place House; and the whole now forms quite a sequestered residence; the grounds, which are extensive, admit the most beautiful prospects: on one side are seen the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire; and on the other, a fine open country for many miles, over all Bansted Downs" (Neale 1818).
In the early 20th century, Sanderstead Court was converted to a hotel and renamed "Selsdon Court." During World War II, it was used by the Royal Air Force. Sanderstead Court burned, leaving only the outside walls in 1944. As of 1947, the mansion was still standing but reduced to ruins, on the edge of a little village in what is now the outskirts of London. Part of it still remains as a Grade II listed building.[2] The grounds around the house have now been built on. These include Cedar Court [3] (three blocks of apartments) and a new Sanderstead Court (also three blocks of apartments).
Behind the house, was a stable building, this was used by Selsdon Park Golf Club as a clubhouse.[4] But the club later moved to Selsdon Park Hotel. The stables then formed part of the New Sanderstead Court apartments.
- Owners
In 1346 Justice Peter Atte Wood (Atte Wode) and his wife Laurencia purchased land there (Lewis 1894, p. 338). Some time in the 15th century they moved to Sanderstead and began improving the property. (Atwood 1928).
The Atwood family were benefactors to the Sanderstead Parish Church which was adjacent to their home, and John Atwood (Atwodde) and his wife, Denys, have a brass plaque in the church dated 1525. John's grand son, Nicholas Wood-Atwood, who died in 1586, is identified as "of Sandersted Corte who served quene Elizabeth sens the second yearr of her rayne" on his brass in the church (Stephanson 1919). Several secondary sources cite the story that Queen Elizabeth I spent the night at Sanderstead Court while Nicholas Wood was the owner.
Nicholas Wood lost a portion of Sanderstead Court to Sir John Gresham, Lord Mayor of London. The Atwoods regained control of Sanderstead Court, and Nicholas Wood's son, Harman Atwood, Jr., transformed Sanderstead into a more significant country house when he made renovations in 1675. Harman Atwood left Sanderstead Court to his sister Dame Olivia Atwood. Olivia also died and the house passed through a succession of distant Atwood relations until it passed out of the family line entirely in 1759. Later owners included members of the Wigsell family.

All Other Priorities Are Rescinded
By Cindy Davis | Trade News | October 13, 2010 | Comments ()
By Cindy Davis | Trade News | October 13, 2010 |
Word is out that Damon Lindelof has completed his script and Fox is thrilled with the story that takes place around 35 years prior to Alien events and aims to recapture the original's horror-suspense feel (as opposed to the action-heavy sequels). The new film also promises to identify the Space Jockey and explore its backstory. Lindelof's script is reportedly a hit with studio executives because it doesn't contain big action sequences (read: expensive) and could likely attain a PG-13 rating.
If for some reason - and I can't imagine turning down such a part - Portman declines the role of a Marine general, Noomi Rapace (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) is reportedly next in line.
While I'd probably rather an unknown actress lead us back to Alien territory, I don't really have a problem with Natalie Portman either. She's still got some chameleon ability and hasn't veered into that over-the-top star thing where I can't see her as a character. Despite feeling nervous about Lindelof writing the script, unless the thing gets horrible early reviews there is little that would keep me away. What say you, Pajibans? Will you be drawn to this regardless of the lead or are you attracted to or repulsed by the idea of General Portman?
