Silver Discoverer
's brand new Gym, causing plenty of extra sweat for guests Alex, Sharon and Lucie (and me). After 60 minutes and 20 km on one of the four gym bicycles (there are more toys on Deck 7, e.g. two leg machines and weights), followed by an extensive cold shower session, I join the expedition staff for a rich "emperor's" breakfast ("king's lunch, beggar's dinner").
The first Zodiacs start towards the famous Horizontal waterfalls and into Cyclone Bay at 8:00 a.m., bound to embark new guests at 10.00 a.m.
I am scheduled to drive the Zodiac "Bounty", by then with 8 guests onboard. Avoiding a mutiny my 60 HP-powered vessel readily makes it through the first gap -although thousands of tons of white water are rushing through a 20 m wide and 8 m deep trench trying to keep the " Bounty" from entering a placid 'lake area' right behind it.
Steering a zodiac precisely in these conditions takes some effort, and just when you think as a driver you have made it, there is even a bigger challenge ahead: Horizontal waterfall "2". Rocky cliffs narrowing down to the length of two Zodiacs and the tremendous waves and eddies created by underwater rocks and holes are a scary sight for any visitor. Beginning to understand this challenge, my fellow expeditioneers start to grab my zodiac and try to toss it around. I feel a little bit like Greek hero Ulysses just having passed cliffs with multiple-headed monster Scylla on top, now running into and coping with giant maelstrom Charybdis around the corner. "Bounty" struggles, but finally she skips through the gap at full throttle. I turn to see the other Zodiacs make it through as well. Cameras click away. This is where the first group had spotted a 3.5 meter resident saltwater croc at a rock -watching the scene as well. And these guys actually also swim through the narrows at times…
Going back through the gaps with the outgoing tide at 7 or 8 knots a few minutes later is a navigational stroll in the park. The sharp rocks around us are covered with Rock oysters and stained with dark-green algae and cyanobacteria. We can exactly tell the high tide mark above us. Around 10 meters is the maximum tidal change at king tides, then creating ripping currents of 15 knots or more- yet speedboats (there is a base near-by) with 900 HP(!!!) will have plenty of fun going through the gaps, with screaming tourists holding on firmly to the handles.
On our tour into Cyclone Bay we then spot a magnificent red-brown Brahminy Kite, and - as the mega tick of the day - a Short-eared Rock-wallaby. These cute marsupials are really hard to spot, perfectly camouflaged and always hiding from the blistering sun in the shade of the red Kimberley rocks.
After two hours we return to the ship and leave Talbot Bay behind, sailing through a beautiful set of isles and going further up the coast. At 14:00 we listen to the geological lecture "Shaping a Timeless Landscape" by our Expedition Leader Mick. He explains to us in detail the results of the crustal collision of two "croutons" in the early ocean soup 1.8 billion years ago and the following geological events, ending his eloquent Kimberley-talk with the words "born by fire, bent by pressure, carved by ice, drowned by sea, and burnt by sun."
An early Recap and Briefing at 17:15, followed by a First-timers' reception, plus a superb dinner lead to the end to this great third day.
While Assistant Expedition Leader Tim and I decide to "see the gym" one more time before going to bed, some of our guests -making their way out of the restaurant onto the decks- spot Bottlenose dolphins just next to the ship feeding on fish.
Can't wait to explore Prince Regent River tomorrow!

this here is the updated version of the poster which will be opening up the CAAMfest in San Francisco March 14th!
hey guys,
i was lucky/fortunate/honored to get the chance to work on this project….
the movie/documentary…Linsanity!
this movie…is more than just a chance to relive those magical moments that consumed New York last year. it's a chance to show that hard work and perseverance really does pay off.
if you get the chance…check out the kickstarter page HERE.
this movie/documentary premieres January 20th at The Sundance Film Festival in Utah, Park City. And you better believe I'm totally pumped to be going.
but this movie is going to need your help to come to life. and even a dollar would help make this dream come to life one more time.
thanks so much.

- Author: Paul Veyne (1930)
- Title: L´Empire gréco-romain
- Cover: La Nymphe marine, Doto, Musée des Antiques Saint-Raymond, Toulouse France
- Genre: History
- Publisher: Editions du Seuil
- Published: 2005
- Table of contents: 13 chapters, 1044 pages and 16 pages of black and white illustrations. A book with so many 'artistic' points to be made, I expected at least some color prints!
- Dedication: Damien Veyne (1966 – 1995)
- Trivia: Honorary Professor at the College de France, Paul Veyne was born in 1930. He is one of the greatest literary historians of ancient Rome.
- Trivia: He lives in Bédoin in the Vaucluse (SE France) at the foot on Mont Ventoux enjoying his golden years in peace and quiet.
- Trivia: This book is a collection of Veyne´s historical writings published in several periodicals. The chapters were very long ( trop longues). Each one felt like a book in itself!
- The Empire called "Roman" was in fact Greco-Roman in more ways than one
- Latin was used in the western half of the empire, but Greek the main language around the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
- The moral and cultural side of Rome was in the process of absorbing, incorporating and understanding the Greek civilization.
- One thing remained unaltered: Greece had the culture but Rome had the power.
Chapters: ( …just a few thoughts….)
- In the first chapter Veyne explains the complicated and unorthodox ways one can become a Roman Emperor.
- The second chapter was difficult to follow because of my limited knowledge about Socrates and his importance in history. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
- The following two chapters were more inlightening to a student of "L'Empire gréco-romain". The rise of a middel class and it increasing power was no different than what happens in other societies. I did enjoy the stark contrast Veyne made between the wise, dignified and cultured Greeks submitting themselves 'reluctantly' to the hegemony of the Romans. Any people who view slaughtering people and or animals in an arena for amusement were not cilivized beings according to the Greeks.
- I did feel that in chapters five and six there was too much emphasis placed on Palmyre and its art. Nice to know….but not essential.
- In chapter seven Veyne explains the Romans love for… 'orgies' of bas-reliefs, columns, coinage and fresco's! Art can be a powerful tool to express propaganda, self promotion and charisma. A king uses splendour to exhibit his power because he IS king. A rival uses propaganda because he WANTS to be king! Charm or personal magantism…you have or you don't ! Whether it is for propaganda or splendour the ' locals' just think and sigh: whoever our emperor is…….taxes will still be collected and our borders remain threatened.
- Chapters 8 -13 zoomed in on specifice subjects: pagan gods, gladiators, Plutarch, St. Augstine, Sacking of Rome and the end of gréco-romain art.
- There are extensive footnotes and acknowledgements ( très solide appareil critique ).
- Veyne refers to many other historians from the past and present and their contributions to the study of the Greek-Roman Empire.
- I was very interested to read more about the French historian Ernest Renan. His motto was: " Je suis un simple chercheur de vérité."
- I ordered his biography by Jean-Pierre van Deth as a cross read.
Art of Palmyre:
- Palmyre: town in Syrian Desert between East and West, trading with India and China for luxury goods
- Tiles: memorial funeral portraits, date, name and genealogy ( fille Yarhai, Louvre)
- Style: frontal with eyes that are exaggerated in size, globular or stylized.
- Function: this 'eye'contact was a method to attract attention and create a link between the viewer and the represented person.
Literary styles were not easy to find in a history book.
To the Tiber with Tiberius!
- The cry of the Roman mob upon hearing of the death of the unpopular Emperor Tiberius (42 BC – 37 AD).
- No light insult, by any means – proper burial was a big deal in Ancient Rome and being tossed into the River Tiber was a fate usually reserved for criminals.
- In fact, Tiberius himself had endorsed the practice as a means of disposal for state executions, lending the crowd's demand a sort of vicious irony.
- Despite the outcry, Tiberius was given a lavish military funeral by his opportunistic successor Caligula.
- Word used to describe another thing and is closely linked to that particular thing.
- I refer to Julius Caesar by Shakespeare act 3, scene 2:
- Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears ( metonymy, ears = concept of attention)Weak point:
Weak point:
- This book is a collection of articles by Veyne which expains why I was immersed in Roman/Greek history one minute and suddenly whisked off to Palmyre in th Syrian Desert.
- This was not the place I wanted to visit. Veyne goes 'overboard' with the travel trivia which was ' fastidieux' = boring.
- Chapters 5 and 6 (pg 309 – 451) were ' judiciously skimmed'.
- The information about the Palmyrene Empire and Queen Zénobie is summarised via Wikipedia.
- The characteristics of the funeral tiles of Palmyre (chapter 6) are mentioned in my review.
Thoughts during my reading……
- This will be my 2014 French challenge!
- Paul Veyne, French archaeologist and historian, and a specialist on Ancient Rome, has impressed me as a person through his memoires, now I want to read his history books!
- Progress was SLOW but remember "Rome was not built in one day".
- How do you become a Roman emperor? It was a tricky business. Livia can help when she poisons or banishes the opposition. You really need a father or uncle who paves your way to greatness.
- Don't forget 'le peuple'. Ils ont besoin du pain et la cirque!
- I learned that of the 87 official emperors (and many pretenders) very few of them have died in bed!
- Julius Caesar suffered 23 stab wounds on March 15, 44 BC ( the Ides of March) His successor Augustus was 18 yr.
- Caesarism: rule by cult personality
- Diarchy: rule by two equal rulers
- 5 good caesars: Nerva,Trajan, Hadrian, Antonius Pius and Marcus Aurelius
- 3 insane caesars – Nero, Caligula and Commodus = ultimate bad boy of the emperors!
- There were many emperors and even more usurpers, men who wanted to be emperor by force.
- I needed a list of Roman Emperors and list of Roman Ursurpers during my reading.
- There were 13 GREEK popes between 678 – 752 AD who spoke Greek in the Lateran Palace….I did not know that!
- Il m'a fallu beaucoup de courage pour atteindre chapitre 5.
- It took courage just to get this far.
- ….. I will finish the book.
- Veyne has presented the reader with an enormous amount of information.
- This was a huge reading project.
- At times I lost my train of thought and needed to concentrate on 'every sentence' which was exhausting.
- If I were reading in English I think it would have been less of a chore.
- Weak point: I expected more of a general history of the Greek-Roman Empire.
- What I got was a collection of articles published at various times during Veyne's career.
- Weak point: The book lacked a logical order which made in more difficult to read and understand.
- Veyne ventures into some of his 'favorite subjects' and the book lacked a feeling of coherence.
- I probably should have investigated the book more throughly before selecting it.
- Strong point: I did learn about the period called Late Antiquity (2e – 8e C ). This was the transition from classical antiquity to the Middle Ages.
- This will help me with my 'winter reading project 2014 ' about Augustus Caesar.
Last thoughts: There were 2 quotes that kept me going….
- Robert Frost: " …the only way out is through."
- Pliny the Elder: " …fortune favors the brave."

Harding, a journalist and the nephew of one of his subjects, traces the lives of two men, humanized by the use of their first names throughout the book. He follows their journeys before, during, and after World War II until their paths eventually crossed when Hanns Alexander, the author's great-uncle, arrested Rudolf Höss. Hanns was a German Jew who fled Nazi oppression in 1938, joined the Pioneer Corps of the British Army, and returned to Germany in 1945 as an investigator with the British War Crimes Investigation Team. He pursued Rudolf Höss, the notorious kommandant of Auschwitz who had overseen more than a million murders there, and captured him in Gottrupel, Germany, in March 1946. Harding alternates biographical chapters, moving with each man across time, with Höss's capture and confession as the climactic moment. VERDICT Providing further details about efforts to capture and indict Nazi war criminals, this will be a compelling book for World War II history and biography buffs. Readers of Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland will find in this book another portal through which to understand the psyche of the oppressor.

Lynn Downey, brand historian of Levi's travels the world with old jeanstags: Lynn Downey, brand historians, corporate history, Levi's, Economic Times
There's a fortune to be made in an old pair of jeans. The only caveat (and it's a big one) is that the pair has to be really old; over a century is a good starting point. If you do have access to great-great-grandad's wardrobe (and assuming he wore jeans), the old pair could sell for close to $150,000. Lynn Downey, brand historian of Levi's travels the world with just such a pair; quite literally one of the first branded blue jeans ever made.
She ensures the jeans are always part of hand luggage; this is one item of clothing that cannot be trusted with airlines. The other pair she's exhibiting is a 501 from the 1980s. What it lacks in vintage pedigree, this pair from Japan makes up for by sporting the signatures of all the members of The Rolling Stones....
Brand historians or archivists are quite popular among American brands with a long pedigree. They are (or have been) present at Coca-Cola, Disney, Ford, Hallmark and Wells Fargo. And yet, according to Downey, having a brand historian shouldn't just be the preserve of older brands: "The day you start your business is the day you start your archive. I hope Google have an archivist because they are making history."...

Casual Concrete Blonde fans know two things about the band: It was named by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and it had a surprise hit song with "Joey," a bittersweet ode to an addict. Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde's main singer and songwriter) has remained prolific both with and without the band. She's contributed songs to movies, friends' albums and, most impressively, was even accepted as the lead singer (read: David Byrne's replacement) for a Talking Heads project. These opportunities likely arrive due to the strength of her voice, a set of powerful pipes that sounds like a glorious combination of Patti Smith and Heart's Ann Wilson. Napolitano is touring in support of her new solo album Scarred, on which she even makes a cover of Coldplay's tedious ballad "The Scientist" sound soulful and authentic. Now that's talent.

Book Description:
Six years after the best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning Empire Falls, Richard Russo returns with a novel that expands even further his widely heralded achievement.Louis Charles ("Lucy") Lynch has spent all his sixty years in upstate Thomaston, New York, married to the same woman, Sarah, for forty of them, their son now a grown man. Like his late, beloved father, Lucy is an optimist, though he's had plenty of reasons not to be—chief among them his mother, still indomitably alive. Yet it was her shrewdness, combined with that Lynch optimism, that had propelled them years ago to the right side of the tracks and created an "empire" of convenience stores about to be passed on to the next generation.Lucy and Sarah are also preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy, where his oldest friend, a renowned painter, has exiled himself far from anything they'd known in childhood. In fact, the exact nature of their friendship is one of the many mysteries Lucy hopes to untangle in the "history" he's writing of his hometown and family. And with his story interspersed with that of Noonan, the native son who'd fled so long ago, the destinies building up around both of them (and Sarah, too) are relentless, constantly surprising, and utterly revealing.Bridge of Sighs is classic Russo, coursing with small-town rhythms and the claims of family, yet it is brilliantly enlarged by an expatriate whose motivations and experiences—often contrary, sometimes not—prove every bit as mesmerizing as they resonate through these richly different lives. Here is a town, as well as a world, defined by magnificent and nearly devastating contradictions.

After watching this yesterday
After watching this yesterday I started looking at clouds that afternoon and today and noticed that this does seem to happen but not at such rapid paces. I don't know a lot about clouds, but I learned today that if you stare at smaller poofs long enough that they expand and contract into different shapes frequently and are not solid cotton balls blowing in the wind.

The Algarve region
Most people who come for an Algarve holiday will head for a destination in the Central Algarve. This is probably because the this area of the Algarve is the most commercialised and geared up for the 'tourist'. It has the largest concentration of hotels and apartments in the country and a selection of sporting and leisure activities to suit everyone.
The Central Algarve area stretches from Faro in the east to Portimão in the west, some 45 miles across. Faro is the capital of the Algarve, but it often ignored by visitors as a holiday destination, who consider it only as the place where the airport is. This is a shame because it is a vibrant town with plenty of history and architecture to enjoy.
From Faro, travelling north-west, you'll come to Almancil. This is a small town which acts as a hub for the resorts found along the costal stretch here. These are Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and the Vila Sol Resort which are in the heart of Algarve's 'Golden Triangle' formed by Quinta do Lago, Vilamoura and Loulé. Right next to Vilamoura is its less glamorous neighbour Quarteira. In-between Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo are he smaller luxury developments of Dunas Douradas and Vale do Garrão.
Before you arrive at the bustling and most popular resort in the Central Algarve, Albufeira. you'll find the two purpose built resorts, Pine Cliffs and Balaia Golf Village near the town of Olhos d'Agua.
Travelling further west you'll find the resorts of Armação de Pera, a small resort dominated by high-rise buildings and the quiet village of Porches, famed for it's pottery. A little further along the coast is Carvoeiro , a pretty little resort still with the charms of the fishing village it once was. Travelling north and inland about 13km, you'll come to the historic town of Silves, once the capital of the Algarve, lying on the banks of the River Arade.
Travelling down the River Arade to the sea, on the eastern side is a small but attractive fishing village, Ferragudo, yet to be ravished by high-rise hotel developments.
On the other side of the Arade estuary, and now in the West Algarve is Portimao, a busy fishing port and an important commercial centre in the Algarve and its off-shoot the lively Praia da Rocha. Just down the road is the quieter fishing village of Alvor.
History Albufeira was a thriving seaport and had its own castle, that was later destroyed in the earthquake of 1755. Happily, most of the older parts of the town that survived and have been carefully maintained. In Roman times it was know as Baltum and later changed by the Moors to Al-Buhera. During the Moors 8th Century occupation the town became an important trading port. In 1532 and in 1755 the town was badly hit by earthquakes, and in the latter, 227 unlucky people perished when the roof of the town church collapsed. During the "War of the Miguels" the town was besieged and set ablaze. The destroyed town consequently suffered a very long period of poverty and really only recovered with the boom of tourism in the later half of the 20th Century. (Visit - Portugal History)
Albufeira - Description
As a result of the tide of tourism, this "once upon a time" fishing village has expanded since the 1960s into a major holiday resort and now has over 15,000 permanent residents. As the sun sets the centre of the town changes its character. A plentiful collection of bars, restaurants and clubs start to fill-up with people, until they spill over into the narrow streets. A fine selection of good beaches extend east and west from the town. Praia de Balaia, Praia de Castelo, Praia de Falésia, Praia de Galé, de Olhos d'Agua, Praia de Maria Luisa, and Praia de São Rafael, being the principal ones. There is a small museum of 15th and 17th century Ming ceramics and a Municipal art gallery that holds regular exhibitions during the season. A further addition to the town is a new Virtual Archaeological Museum. A new Marina has been completed on the west side of the town and offers a different and attractive aspect.
Albufeira - Nearby Locations
Other places of interest near to Albufeira are, Armação de Pera, Boliqueime, Guia and Paderne with its ruined castle perched on an isolated hill some distance from the village. This castle was liberated from Moor occupation in 1248 by Dom Paulo Peres Correia. At Ponte Grande there are impressive caverns with large arches, and also the underwater caverns of Grutas do Xorino.

Age UK spends £1.8m in latest round of redundancies

The director of Golden Lane Housing, the issuer of the first charity bond to be listed on the London Stock Exchange, has said that despite recent criticism of charities using social finance it can be a useful tool for the sector.
Christian Aid's income rose more than 8 per cent to £103.6m in the year to March 2014, according to accounts filed recently.
Marie Stopes International grew its income by 22 per cent to £211.9m in 2013, according to its latest annual report.
Social finance is "absolutely the wrong thing" for the voluntary sector, Children England chief executive, Kathy Evans said yesterday.
NCVO increased its income by 7 per cent to £9.59m in the year to March 2014, according to its annual report and accounts, published today.
Tax avoidance may be legal, but it is still obnoxious. And the rest of us pay additional tax as a result. If I were asked whether the accountants and legal experts who set up these schemes are 'fit and proper persons', I know what my answer would be.
» Definition of charity for tax purposes 'attacks charities, not tax avoiders'
A software community interest company set up by the BeatBullying Group in 2012 is almost a year late filing its first set of accounts.
The Charity Commission will receive £9m of extra funding over the next three years, as well as new powers to bar trustees and shut down charities, Prime Minister David Cameron announced today.
Age UK spent £1.81m on 120 redundancies in 2014, on top of £1.17m last year, as part of a review of the structure of the organisation, according to its latest annual accounts.
There is an "overwhelming case" for an early review of the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme because most of the charities it was aimed at either do not know about it, cannot understand it, or are not eligible for it, a group of umbrella bodies has said.

Premier Jim Prentice dismissed criticisms his government is not doing enough while Calgary homeless shelters burst at the seams, assuring critics "we will do everything we can" to deal with the problem.
Housing rental costs in Alberta are rising at the fastest pace in more than five years and are escalating in Calgary at more than double the national rate, according to a new report. At the same time, the Calgary Housing Corp., which operates and manages subsidized and affordable housing units, has a growing wait list that ballooned by more than 800 people to 3,518 in September.
Re: "Province won't step in as shelters warn of crisis," Oct. 22.
Alberta's new energy minister won kudos for his commitment to getting new pipelines built while ducking more complex specific questions during his first speech at the Calgary Petroleum Club since winning the job last month. Frank Oberle, a Peace River MLA whose background is in forestry, spoke for less than 10 minutes on Tuesday, then took questions at a monthly "Lunch N Learn" session sponsored by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Land Administration, whose 2,800 members track land assets for oil companies.
If tone and body language are at all reliable indicators, within the coming year, Canada's Supreme Court will strike down current laws against assisted suicide.
Shelley Ward still remembers how she felt two months ago when she arrived at Inn From the Cold, an emergency shelter for homeless families, with her husband and three daughters. "It was a whole bunch of mixed emotions," said Ward, who continues to live at the shelter with her family while searching for an affordable rental property.
Wise Owl Boutique works with older adults to knit you hats, mittens, socks and other items.
The full context of the Supreme Court's recent hearing of the case of Saguenay, Que., Mayor Jean Tremblay and his council was overlooked in this column.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi has never been one to mince words. On a radio show last week, Nenshi accused some Calgary landlords of "gouging" renters in a "get-rich quick" scheme. In making this rather enthusiastic assertion (he had to interrupt Edmonton's thoughtful mayor, Don Iveson, to do so), he ground the issue of affordable housing down to the lowest possible level of debate, bizarrely off-loading what is in large part his responsibility as mayor, to landlords. When did it become the job of individual Calgarians to provide subsidized housing? This is the job of government, and in lashing out at people trying to get as much return as possible on their investment, Nenshi is reflecting his own inability to do his job.
The case now before the Supreme Court challenging the laws forbidding assisted suicide and euthanasia is an opportunity for us all to have an adult conversation about this sensitive issue, which for too long many have chosen to avoid.
Michael Dion is looking for a truck camper or travel trailer to live in with his teenage daughter Brianna and dog Zeus. Left frustrated and exhausted by a search for an affordable home in Calgary's tight rental market, the single father has decided a used camper might be his best bet for a roof over his family's head.
I am for doctor-assisted suicide. I do not believe our old and disabled are in danger. My sister died of cancer and to see her suffer for months on end was indescribable. When she was finally in the hospital, the nurse said because her heart was weak and they had put her on morphine, she would not last very long.
Now that eight-year-olds wear thongs and one-year-olds are allocated their own front-row seats at fashion shows, it's easy to miss that it's not all going youth's way. Older women — let's call them women of experience — are having quite a moment, too.
These days, most pragmatic New Democrats no longer desire to nationalize essential cogs of the economy. Instead, they are more content to tell parents how to raise their kids.
As usual, Apple Inc.'s promotion of the latest technology made headlines this week. But, in this case, the media fawning that typically follows an Apple news release has been hard to find, and the showcased technology has little to do with raising the standards of computing.
Premier Jim Prentice is rejecting calls for rent controls as unnecessary and ultimately harmful, saying he's looking for a market-based solution to deal with Alberta's affordable housing crisis. But Mayor Naheed Nenshi said that while rent control may not be the answer, the province needs to step up with a new injection of money for social housing and incentives for rental housing development.
If you want to pray, do it in church, not at municipal council meetings. And if you want to display Christian symbols, such as a cross or a statue of Jesus, display them in church, not in council chambers.
The people caught on video kicking and beating pigs at a Red Deer livestock assembly yard probably wouldn't dream of going home and treating their dogs and cats the same way. That they can inflict such brutality on animals as sentient and intelligent as their house pets is beyond comprehension.

Bridge develops
- By Samantha Boontjer
- Published: April 30th, 2013
Candler's Mtn. Road will open soon
After two years of having one lane on the bridge of Candler's Mountain Road by Mayflower Drive, renovation is nearing completion, as thousands of family members and friends are expected in Lynchburg for Liberty University's commencement ceremony.
According to Paula Jones, the media contact for Virginia Department of Transportation for Central Virginia, the rehabilitation project has been going on since April 2012. Although it will not be completely done by commencement, it will be very close.
"The expectation is that the project will be substantially complete and open to two lanes of traffic by graduation," Jones said.
The contractors are currently preparing to pour the concrete for the deck and railing of the bridge, according to Jones.
The renovation has closed off one of the lanes of the bridge and the left-hand turn into the River Ridge Mall.
"There were significant pothole repairs that were made prior to this work," Jones said. "It is important to remember that this work is being done to extend the useful life of this structure."
The cost of the bridge is approximately $2.5 million. According to Jones, it is being funded by a combination of state and federal funds.
Although the bridge was being worked on during last year's graduation, Jones said that the traffic was not affected much.
The bridge needed repairs because of the condition of the road, but Jones said the renovation is taking longer because additional repairs were needed.
The rebar, which is used for framing, had to be repaired before anything else could be done.
"Once the concrete was removed from the left lane of the bridge, additional deterioration was discovered in the rebar," Jones said.
According to Jones, another reason it is taking longer is because the Virginia Department of Transportation closed down the construction and removed the road closures during the holiday
"I avoid that area as much as possible," Liberty Senior Katelyn King said. "It causes such bad traffic."
King transferred to Liberty her junior year and said she had never experienced that road without traffic.
According to Liberty's Hancock Welcome Center, there will be buses transporting people back and forth from the River Ridge Mall to Liberty during graduation. Students, friends and family are allowed to park on campus, but any overflow can park at the mall.

thinking about the spectrum of female characters in asoiaf is so fascinating especially the way they relate to their femininity because they all respond in such wildly different ways
i mean the character with the most anger and resentment about her gender, who frequently out-and-out wishes she was a man and seems to loathe most women is not one of the more 'masculine' female characters like arya or brienne but cersei, who of all the female characters is probably one of the most overtly feminine and sexual in her appearance and the way she manipulates people around her.
whereas brienne, one of the most 'masculine' female characters in appearance and stereotypical behaviour, doesn't seem to resent her gender the way cersei does. she wants to be a knight, but her internal monologue doesn't have the same resentment towards her gender as cersei's, she doesn't try to 'pass' as a man and she dislikes it when people call her 'ser'. she never expresses a wish to have been 'born a man' like cersei does. she also lacks cersei's powerful internalised misogyny and has a certain amount of respect more traditionally feminine women (see her line about catelyn having 'a sort of woman's courage').
speaking of catelyn, she's fascinating to me because she's one of the few (if not the only?) female characters who accept their prescribed societal role almost entirely, and find that fulfilling it comes to them naturally. she never resents or questions her assigned role as a wife and mother. in fact, she's wholeheartedly committed to it, and many of her thoughts in her pov, mostly about brienne but also about arya, show the extent to which she has internalised the patriarchal westerosi view of women ('is there any creature on earth as unfortunate as an ugly woman?', having dresses made for brienne).
dany's gender is used a certain amount in her political rhetoric, ('mother of dragons', 'i am only a young girl'), but her struggles as a ruler come more from her cultural alienation from meereen, and she doesn't tend to struggle as a military leader explicitly because of her gender. asha uses her gender in her own rhetoric as well ('i am a woman wed…and here's my suckling babe'), and she doesn't seem uncomfortable with her gender the way cersei is despite being one of the more 'masculine-acting' women in the series. and like dany, she is able to command the respect of men and act as a military leader.
arya, another 'masculine-acting' female character, also identifies herself as female to the point of frequently correcting people who misgender her. her issues with her gender don't direct themselves outwards at women in general like cersei, but manifest internally as feelings of inadequacy for failing to fulfil her prescribed role. she doesn't hate feminine women, she wishes she could be like sansa and worries that her family won't want her because she isn't a 'proper lady'.
idk i find it really interesting that none of the 'masculine-acting' female characters seem to out and out dislike women or femininity (let's just quietly ignore the show in this regard because why have subtlety when you can have bullshit like 'most girls are idiots' and 'you sound like a bloody woman').
yeah there isn't really a point to this i'm just so excited about the diversity of martin's women it's almost like women in this series are separate characters and not a monolith

Although Captain Mooneyham is still looking at her legal options, she was shocked only days after the decision to receive a cruel letter from a well-known Springfield, Missouri attorney named Dee Wampler. The letter said:
Dear Captain Mooneyham:PROMO is an advocacy group in Missouri for the gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual equality. They posted the letter in full on their Facebook page with the caption "think discrimination doesn't exist?"
I agree with the decision of the board to refuse to grant and extend benefits to lesbians and homosexuals.
Missouri has a constitutional provision and a state statute providing that marriage is between one man and one woman which has been the law since time and memorial in our world's history.
I'm tired of promo attempting to cram homosexuality and lesbians down our throats.
You have followed the law and I congratulate you.
Now-back to fighting fires.
The Springfield News-Leader reached out to Dee Wampler for comment and he kept it short:
"Whatever I wrote, I believe," he said.Good luck to Captain Mooneyham and her wife as they pursue further options. You can see the letter below the fold.

WWI: France Hoped Fake Paris Would Fool Germany
Listen to the Story
Veterans Day was last week, and with it came a reminder of a World War 1 strategy. Britain's Daily Telegraph reported on the fake city France was creating in hopes German bombs wouldn't hit the real Paris. The sham city was never finished because the war ended.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne, with a long ago tale of going to great lengths to fool the enemy, retold this week in honor of Veteran's Day. During World War I, France created a fake Paris just outside the real one. There were lights, buildings, artists even painted dirty glass on the top of sham factories. France hoped German bombers would hit the phony Paris. The Daily Telegraph reports the sham city was never finished, because the war to end all wars ended. It's MORNING EDITION.

The learning continues for the Huskies football team under Chris Petersen and his new coaching staff.
The latest lessons are on standards — and on how quickly the two-time national coach of the year with a 92-12 record over the last eight seasons at Boise State wants those marks met.
As in, yesterday already.
This morning's return practice following the players' two weeks off for winter finals and spring break was the seventh workout of UW's 15 spring practices, drills that Petersen said at the outset would likely be ugly.
In his mind, he's been proven correct.
Asked if he was pleased with where his team is now at about the midway point of spring ball, Petersen's replied quickly and forcefully.
"No, absolutely not," he said. "I'm pleased with their attitude. We are all in this together. Are we pleased where we are? No, because we have a long way to go.
"But I like the guys. I like them a lot. I like coaching them. But we have a long way to go. .. Got a lot of work to do."
Asked if any player has jumped out at him for stellar performance through seven practices, Petersen said flatly, "Nope. Nope. Not a guy.
"I'll tell you if I see a guy, anyone out there that I go, 'Whoa! That's pretty special!'
Then Petersen shook his head and said again, "Work in progress."
The coach termed that progress "two steps forward, one step back."
Then again, it's only the first of April, almost five full months before the opener at Hawaii.
But …
"Times' ticking, you know? We only get so many days out here with these guys," he said.
"But we will get it, eventually. The eventually needs to be the sooner eventual than the later eventual."
I asked him when he thinks the players should be past the phase of needing to still learn the new coaches and their system and in the need-to-execute phase.
"That will come later. That's always whole-part-whole. It's always inter-mixed," Petersen said. "We've got a long way to go, on both spectrums.
"We've got a lot to learn still. Shoot, we haven't put in half of our stuff yet.
"And obviously," the coach added, dropping his voice and his chin, "the execution has much to be desired at this point."
This — the missed assignments, the wrong pass routes, the incorrect decisions on plays — is not all the players' faults, of course. And the coach reminds them of that often.
"We've hurt our kids, as coaches, by being a new coaching staff. We've set them back. We tell them that every day," Petersen said. "We tell them 'We are giving you new things. A lot of people are ahead of us.'
"We are trying to play catchup as fast as we can."
He's also trying to keep the practice mood competitive — and light.
Petersen kept the Huskies roaring through the middle of this morning's practice at Husky Stadium. He led the latest of strength and conditioning coach Tim Socha's offense-versus-defense competition in the middle of the field.
This one had 287-pound guard Shane Brostek and 277-pound defensive lineman Taniela Tupuo attempting to dive, barrel roll, jump or find any other way completely over blocking pads stacked at midfield. The landing area were large, gold pads.
"That was not very impressive," Brostek deadpanned when I asked him about his, uh, "leaps" which unstacked the pads and splayed them across the turf.
After that comedy, Petersen called fleet wide receiver John Ross to oppose cornerback Jermaine Kelly. The pads got stacked far higher for those two, who combined weigh more than 200 pounds less than the linemen that preceded them over the pads.
Ross cleared the tall pile with a soaring, Fosbury-flop-like high jump.
Then Petersen called offensive line coach Chris Strausser and linebackers coach Bob Gregory to jump over a much smaller pile. Strausser won — much to the delighted roars of the offense over Petersen's jubilant whistle. That meant extra sideline-to-sideline sprints for the defense.
Quarterback Cyler Miles and wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow remain suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. Asked about their status Petersen said, "No, I've got nothin'."
Middle linebacker and two-time co-captain John Timu was back after a suspension for the first two weeks of spring practice.
Starters and great students Hau'oli Kikaha and Danny Shelton were among those missing from practice. Petersen said that's because their new spring-quarter schedules have them in class on Tuesday mornings.
Such conflicts are why Petersen has moved the three remaining Thursday spring practices from morning to night.
"There's things called academics around here, and they come first," the coach said. "And so they've got class."
Jaimie Bryant, a 309-pound defensive lineman from Tumwater, Wash., was on the field for the first time as a Husky freshman. Bryant committed last year with previous UW coach Steve Sarkisian but delayed his enrollment — "grayshirted" — until 2014. Petersen honored Sarkisian's scholarship offer by offering him another one, which Bryant signed in February.
Petersen knows Bryant's head is swimming in all that is new to him, which is what will make these next three weeks big for him heading into fall camp in August.
"He knows where the 40-yard line is," Petersen said. "But other than that, we started calling defenses at him and he doesn't know anything.
"But it will be great. At the end of those three weeks he will know something, and it will put him a little bit further ahead for the fall."
