Gwynne Dyer - World Watch
OPINION: It was 42 degrees Celsius in St Louis, Missouri, last weekend, about the same as in Saudi Arabia. Along the United States Atlantic coast, it was cooler, but not much: 41degC in Washington DC, just short of the city's all-time record. And 46 Americans were already dead from the heat wave.
In Britain, it was incredibly wet. Almost six centimetres of rain fell on Saturday in parts of southern England, and there were more than 20 flood warnings and 100 flood alerts in effect. The wettest April ever was followed by the wettest June (more than double the average rainfall), and July has started the same way.
Russia had its hottest summer ever in 2010, with peat wildfires raging out of control – more than 5000 extra deaths in Moscow in July alone – but this summer it's wet in Russia too. Last Friday an astonishing 28cm of rain fell overnight in the Krasnodar region in southern Russia and flash floods killed 155 people.
It is a big planet, and some local record for hottest, coldest, wettest or driest is being broken somewhere or other almost every day. But these are records being broken over large areas, in regions where records go back a long time. As Krasnodar governor Alexander Tkachev said: "No-one can remember such floods in our history. There was nothing of the kind for the past 70 years."
There are unusual events happening in winter too: last January only 14.7 per cent of the US was covered by snow, compared to 61.7 per cent at the same time in 2011. At least 300 people died in a cold wave in northern India in the previous January.
One could go on, enumerating comparably extreme weather events in the southern hemisphere in the past couple of years. But that would just be more impressionistic evidence, and no more convincing statistically. The events are too few, and the time period is too short. But it does feel like something is going on, doesn't it?
The most recent opinion polls indicate a majority of Americans now accept that climate change is happening (although, being American, many of them cling to the belief it is a purely "natural" event with nothing to do with human greenhouse gas emissions). But opinion polls are not a good guide in these matters either. Can we really say something serious is happening, and that it is evidence the climate is changing now?
No, we can't. It's a statistical long-shot, but it is possible this is just a random collection of extreme events signifying nothing in particular. Occasionally a tossed coin comes up heads six times in a row. But usually it doesn't.
The best way to approach the question is to ask what we would actually see if global warming had crossed some threshold and triggered big changes in weather patterns. The actual change in the average global temperature would be almost imperceptible: only one or two degrees Celsius, or the difference in an average day's temperature between 9am and 10.30am. What we would notice is the weather is getting wild.
We never really experience the climate; what we feel is the daily weather it produces. A climate that is changing will produce unfamiliar weather – and if it is getting warmer, it will be more energetic weather. Wilder weather, if you like.
That means hotter, longer heat waves, and bigger storms that bring torrential rain and killer wind speeds.
Yet, it can also mean prolonged droughts as rainfall patterns change – and much more severe winters.
That last phenomenon confuses people, who think colder winters prove the climate isn't getting warmer, but complex systems like the climate can produce strange local results.
As an article by CH Greene and BC Monger in a recent issue of Oceanography points out, the melting of the Arctic sea ice will cause colder winter weather in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere.
"Since the dramatic decline of Arctic sea ice during summer 2007," the authors point out, "severe winter weather outbreaks have periodically affected large parts of North America, Europe and East Asia.
"During the winter of 2011-12, an extended and deadly cold snap descended on central and eastern Europe in mid-January (with temperatures approaching -30C)."
How does melting Arctic sea ice cause colder winters? Much of the solar heat absorbed by the ice-free parts of the Arctic Ocean in the summer is released into the air by evaporation in the autumn. The higher atmospheric pressure in the Arctic weakens the Jet Stream, which allows cold Arctic air masses with a high moisture content to spill out into the middle latitudes. Hence colder winters and more snow in the US, Europe and northern Asia.
It can't be proved that all this means we are sliding into a new and steadily worsening climate right now – that the long-threatened future has arrived.
The statistics aren't good enough to support that conclusion yet. But if you have to put your money down now, bet yes.

The King of the Seven Seas has a new look -- and we're absolutely loving it. "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" director revealed the first photo of Jason Momoa's Aquaman costume earlier today. Long gone are the orange top, green tights and long blonde locks the character is known for, as the "Game of Thrones" star sports scale-inspired armor, a ton of tattoos and a new trident. The character's signature belt buckle remains intact. The costume was designed by longtime Snyder collaborator Michael Wilkinson, who also designed looks for "Watchmen," "Sucker Punch" and "Man of Steel." "It has been a thrill and an honor to bring this iconic character to life for a modern audience," Wilkinson tells toofab of his Aquaman design. "Zack Snyder has a brilliant vision for making this character powerful and relevant," he continues. "I enjoyed designing a costume that reflects this vision and honors the character's rich legacy. »

Long gone are the days of the classic Hollywood monsters. The most iconic figures in horror, such as Dracula, the Wolfman and Frankenstein's monster, will always be fondly remembered for years to come. In fact in this past year alone we've already seen vampiristic origin story 'Dracula Untold' and the comic-book based action fantasy 'I, Frankenstein' all dealing with these traditional beasts. So there will always be rehashes, re-imaginings and different directions for the classics. But due to the ever-changing climate that we live in it seems that the styles, the demands and of course the monsters themselves have evolved »

Network protocol stack and TCP hacking
The network protocol stack, which forms the carrier and pipeline of data from one host to another is designed in such a way that we can interact with different layers at desired level. This article is a small attempt to describe the movement of data through these stacked layers and at the end we will try to implement a linux kernel module which helps us to capture the data flowing out to TCP layer and display it. I think to talk about all those really basic network communication is not necessary here. So I will straight away talk about the implementation of TCP/IP communication.
Network devices form the bottom layer of the protocol stack. they use a link layer protocol (usually Ethernet) to communicate with other devices to send and receive traffic. The interface put up by the network device driver copy packets from a physical medium, perform some error checks,Then puts up the packet to the network layer. Output interfaces receive packets from the network layer, perform some error checks, and then send them out over the physical medium. Here we shall talk about the IP which is the standard standard network layer protocol. The main functionality of IP is routing , it checks incoming packets to see if they are for the host computer or if they need to be forwarded. It defragments packets if necessary and delivers them to the transport protocols. It has a dynamic database of routes for outgoing packets; it addresses and fragments them if necessary before sending them down to the link layer.

Psst, buddy. Wanna buy a cheap plasma?"
You don't often hear this from your friendly neighborhood white-van salesmen; they're more into selling cardboard speakers. $1,200 HDTVs, no matter how good, just aren't their thing.
They aren't always ours, either, but when Samsung offered us the chance to have a look at its $1,200, 51-inch (diagonal) PN51E550D1F plasma, we couldn't resist. That may be a lot of green for a public that once considered $300 a fair price for a new television, but today it falls solidly in the lowmid price range for a namebrand flat-screen HDTV in this size category.
All LCD HDTVs require some form of backlighting. The LCD panel's pixels modulate the light and provide filtered color, but without backlighting to shine through the panel, you'd have no picture. Recently, LEDs (light-emitting diodes) have replaced the fluorescent backlights used in older flat-screen LCD sets. LCDs aren't perfect in blocking light (which is why so many early models had poor black levels), but if you can shut off or dim the LEDs on demand, the LCDs' light-blocking chores become far more efficient. And LEDs can do this; they can be shut off and turned back on almost instantaneously in reaction to the signal coming in.
It's long been true that if you wait long enough, the price of technology will drop down to meet your budget. Flat-screen HDTVs are prime examples. We've recently seen manufacturers respond to the current global financial malaise by squeezing their beans hard enough to produce decent sets for around $1,000. While it's difficult to say if this trend is due to economic conditions or pressure from price-aggressive new manufacturers, Vizio has been in the vanguard of the young guns making life difficult for traditional HDTV companies. And the company's not standing still. Exhibit A: Vizio's new $1,000 E601i-A3. Like its big brother, the 70-inch, $2000 E701i-A3, it's a true budget buster, but for a change, the budget they're busting isn't yours.
It was just a year or so ago when I first noticed that most of the movies I looked forward to experiencing on my home theater projection system were 'Scope films—productions with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 or 2.40:1. Comedies, documentaries, art-house fare, and virtually all HD broadcasts are mainly limited to 1.85:1, 1.78:1 (16:9), or 1.66:1 (European widescreen). Classic films, of course, are 4:3.
The most popular, current approach to designing an LCD HDTV with LED lighting is to position the LEDs around the periphery of the screen and rely on diffusors to spread the light out uniformly. Sometimes (but not always) the brightness of the LEDs is also altered dynamically to help the LCD pixels create deep blacks, where needed.
The pick of the litter in today's LCD HDTV designs is full LED backlighting with local dimming. Such sets first appeared in 2008, but the process of positioning clusters of LEDs behind the screen was, and is, expensive. While LCD sets with LED lighting have now become ubiquitous, most of them use edge lighting (sometimes with a limited form of dynamic dimming, sometimes without) in which a smaller number of LEDs are located at the borders of the screen. This both keeps the price down and enables slender, more stylish sets.
Editor's Note: It's with great pleasure that Home Theater brings you this exclusive first review of Sharp's new ground-breaking LC-90LE745U HDTV. With this 90-inch set, the first at its size truly intended for mass production, Sharp begins the era of projection-size flat panels suitable for any light environment. While the $10,000 (street) ticket price still exceeds the cost of a high quality 2D/3D projector and screen, as a sign of what's to come, it is a significant introduction. And, as you'll read in Tom Norton's detailed review, not a bad TV. - Rob Sabin
Ninety inches diagonal is not all that big as projection screens go. But Sharp's new LC-90LE745U, at that same 90 inches, is immense by flat panel standards. With more than twice the screen area of a 65inch set, it has little flat panel competition for its size, and none at all for its combination of size and cost. Panasonic has an 85inch plasma, for example, that will set you back nearly twice as much. LG showed a 4K 80-inch LCD set at last January's CES, but exact pricing and availability is still undetermined. Mitsubishi offers a 92-inch rear-projection set at some remarkable street prices (around $3,000), but its massive 194 pounds and 25-inch depth (225 pounds and 32 inches in its shipping carton) might be just a little intimidating.
With all the talk about LCD this and LED that, and the buzz about upcoming OLED sets that are expected to set the video world on fire (a very pricey fire, at least to begin with), plasmas are still very much with us. Samsung remains one of the technology's biggest supporters, although LCD sets remain its bread and butter.
Panasonic has improved its plasma sets each year, and while that march forward has generated torturous verbiage to describe its continually improving plasma HDTV black levels (Infinite Black, Infinite Black Pro, Infinite Black Ultra, and, perhaps next year, Infinite Black Pro Ultra), the company has kept pushing the design envelope. And it has done so even as flat panel prices continue to drop. A 65-inch plasma for $3,700 would have been considered an impossible dream just a few years ago when the goal was to get prices down to $100 per diagonal inch.
A number of years ago, I wrote an article about putting together a backyard home theater using an inflatable front-projection screen from Sima. It was a blast—and more than just a blast of air from the pump that inflated the Michelin-Man-dream-date, 72-inch-screen-covered blimp in less than 6 minutes. I took the setup to a friend's house one Saturday during my "research" where we had a three-family movie night on the patio in his backyard. Sodas and margaritas flowed freely that evening. Much popcorn was popped. I don't think any of us remember the actual movie, but to this day none of us has forgotten how much fun we had—more fun, as a matter of fact, than we'd ever had watching a movie the proper way inside the house.
HDTV manufacturers' fortunes have been in a perpetual state of flux for years. With prices continually dropping, profit margins are slim. While the TV makers haven't quite yet adopted a business plan that calls for losing money on each sale, there isn't much further they can go without them paying you to take the set home. Just kidding, of course. But apart from the dicey economy (or perhaps because of it?), this is a golden age for the consumer to buy a great HDTV for not a lot of cash.
In my quest to find good-performing flat panels under $1000, I was eager to try the Samsung UN40EH6000. The company's entry-level EH-series LED-LCD TVs are available in several lines, of which the EH6000 is top of the heap, and each line includes several sizes, ranging from 26 to 65 inches. (Not all sizes are available in all lines.) At 40 inches, the model reviewed here is the smallest of the EH6000 line.
When Tom Norton reviewed the 65-inch Vizio XVT3D650SV 3D LED-edgelit LCD TV last year (see review here), he found it to be an excellent performer in most respects. However, its list price of $3,700 kept many potential buyers away—and, along with the few problems he did find, kept him from bestowing HT's Top Picks designation.
The last three flat-panel HDTVs reviewed in these pages averaged over $4,000 each—a figure inflated, to be sure, by one of them costing $6,000. Statement products tell us what's possible and where the technology is going. Most Home Theater readers want to know these things.
Panasonic is well known for its high-quality, high-value plasma TVs, but how good can its $1000 50-incher be? Really good, as it turns out. The TC-P50S30 offers nearly identical performance to the highly rated TC-P50ST30—the only real difference is that the S30 has no 3D capabilities. If you're looking for a 50-inch flat panel with only $1000 to spend, look no farther.

So far they are pretty good at trapping dirt and debris and appear to be very durable. We'll see how they hold out for the long haul. For an average car or truck I usually go with rubber mats from Autozone for much cheaper, but for a European car where you want an exact fit then WeatherTech mats are the only real choice.

Ghosts of Jan's Courtyard, submitted by En. I love a good, scary ghost story. That's why I really, really hate this site. The first page is like a cargo plane carrying crappy clip art crashed into a warehouse full of bad poetry, which happened to be about the clipart. And then some jackass with a keyboard came by and decided to play a horrible"spooky" midi in an endless loop of hatred. You get to see two lines of poetry, then some godawful art, then another two lines of poetry, followed by more godawful art, and so on and so forth for far too long. After three days go by and the page loads in its entirety, you can check out the pages of ghost stories. Each one is about ten sentences long, and chock full of poor grammar and punctuation. For your reading pleasure, they are also as far from scary as is humanly possible, as demonstrated by the masterpiece below:
One Halloween night, in 1932, Heather and Ashley were walking through a graveyard trying to find their Aunt Anna's tombstone.
They were walking through the baby's tombstones and then they found it, they found their Aunt Anna's tombstone!
Once they got there, Ashley sat on the ground and just stared into the tree's. Heather had a chill going up her spine, and once Heather told Ashley she was leaving and started to walk away, Ashley got up and started to walk away too.
After about a minute of walking, Ashley stopped for a rest. Then all of a sudden, a bloody hand came out of the ground and grabbed her ankle, so it tripped her.
Then Heather finally heard Ashley's screaming and ran to save her. Once Heather got there, Ashley was already in the ground. Heather ran as fast as she could to get help.
Once she got her parents to the graveyard, all that was left of Ashley was a shoelace. The next year Heather went back to the graveyard with her best friend, Melissa, to see if they could see either Ashley or their Aunt Anna. Melissa sat down on the ground next to Heather on the same exact same spot as Ashley sat on.
Melissa was becoming quite restless and started looking into the trees. Heather started staring into the trees just like Ashley did the night Ashley disappeared. She didn't notice that Melissa started to walk away, but once she noticed, she started to run to catch up, but once Heather got even with her, the bloody hand that grabbed Ashley's ankle, grabbed Melissa's ankle and pulled her into the ground.
Heather ran to get help, but when she came back to get her, there was absolutely nothing left of her, except for a piece of her shirt that must have been torn off.
After about two or three months, Heather's parents brought her to a counselor to get help.
The counselor, Nancy, told her to try to go back there on Halloween with her family. That night when she was sleeping, she had a nightmare that her parents, her new best friend, Whytnie, and herself all were at the graveyard on Halloween.
That's the entire story. Pretty frightening, huh? It's hard to believe that no one has the movie rights, yet. And yes, I do believe that is anchorwoman Connie Chung in the picture. I'm too mortified by this site to come up with anything clever to say about it. Check out this site, voice your opinions in their guestbook, then curl up in the fetal position and pray that the ghosts don't get you. While you're at it, pray that everyone who in any way contributed to this site be hit by a bus full of broken glass.
The Amazonians value combat prowess and purity of spirit. By wrestling half naked, they pay homage to both virtues by displaying their battle-forged bodies while preserving as much modesty as their society deems necessary. The gelatin in which they wrestle is symbolic of the fluid nature of battle, a concept the Amazonians call 'akgor-gra.'
Pros: Much more comfortable than my last toilet seat, which was a transparent resin with seashells embedded inside. The outer layer wore off from friction, exposing the sharp jagged edges of the seashells, which were constantly scrapping my backside and causing major cuts and open sores.

January 22, 2014 - Beautiful bracelet and I cannot wait to wear it with pride.
January 7, 2014 - Love the bracelet, but quality isn't very good. I wore it for about 4 hours and it came apart.
January 3, 2014 - daughter in law loved it but was a bit large for her wrist needs to be adjustable to all sizes and quality could be better but she was happy and that is what matters

Can you teach me how to lose weight? – asked my friend right before we were about to have our late lunch.
She didn't ask because I'm qualified to give her well-rehearsed answers. She just knows I've had few problems with staying slim. And she has a mind open enough to listen to my suggestions.
This isn't anything unusual. I'm sure you get similar, if not the same, issues as a matter of pleas for help from people you know. When you do, what is your reaction?
You feel flattered?
Somebody thinks you're special. That tiny little bit better. The wizard with all tricks up their sleeve.
You feel responsible?
After all, there are not only the good but also the bad and the ugly that can crop up as a result of your changing somebody's way of living.
Or you feel at a loss?
Because the truth is, you don't know the answers.
As a teenager, I enrolled in a teachers' training college. I was not convinced by the idea of becoming one and so I dropped out. Some time later, I worked with people whose lives were in tatters. It never felt good to tell them what to do. It felt arrogant.
Just like you, I do happen to know a thing or two. And I'm willing and going to share whatever I know with you. But let's make a distinction in the kind of knowledge I'm talking about.
I can speak from my experience and share whatever I've learnt from it. But I can't preach or repeat trendy slogans as I feel I have no right to do so. And anyway, many things happen to me by chance. Certain lucky genes equipped me in better metabolism than that of my friend's – for starters.
When we talk about teaching and learning I'm like a kid. I look beyond words. Won't buy advice from somebody who doesn't practice what they sell. What about you? Who or what do you learn from most?

Best Collection of Vintage-Style Jewelry (2011)
Entering Swag is like stumbling into a Paris flea market. The shelves and display tables are crammed with handbags, candles, stationery, vintage sterling silver and glassware, antique chandeliers and velvet bedspreads. But the best thing about Swag is its huge collection of La Vie Parisienne jewelry, elegant designs rendered from original molds and stampings created by French artists of the Nouveau, Deco and Modernist periods, from 1900 to 1960. Each piece is detailed by hand, following traditional artisanal methods. Many are made using old silver or 14-karat gold with a unique French process of layering precious metals over copper to bring out relief and detail. Most pieces feature colorful Swarovski crystals and enamel. The company produces more than 1,500 styles, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pendants, at its Santa Monica atelier, and Swag carries dozens of them stuffed into two large display cases (one for gold, one for silver). If you prefer jewelry that makes you feel like a Belle Epoque princess, this is your spot. 4332 Tujunga Ave., Studio City; (818) 508-9400.

Asia PacificChina sex tape official loses appeal Thirteen-year prison sentence of ex-party chief in Chongqing, who featured in video clips that went viral, upheld. 17 Sep 2013 08:16 GMT | Asia Pacific, China A southern Chinese court has upheld the guilty verdict and sentence against a former city official at the heart of a sex tape scandal. Lei Zhengfu was convicted in June of accepting more than 3 million yuan ($500,000) in bribes from a developer to pay off a businessman who was using the tape to blackmail him. Lei, the former party chief of a district in the southern city of Chongqing, had said the money was a loan. He subsequently appealed. The Chongqing High Court said in a statement posted online on Tuesday that it had upheld Lei's 13-year prison sentence, his being stripped of his political rights for three years and the seizure of 300,000 yuan of his private assets along with the bribes he took. The case riveted the public since video clips of the 55-year-old having sex with a woman went viral. She was hired by property developers in an elaborate extortion scheme. Four men and two women were sentenced for up to 10 years in prison for extortion in connection with the case. Three of the men also unsuccessfully appealed, the court said.Source: AP

Slieve Donard is the highest mountain in Northern Ireland and in 9-county Ulster. St. Domhangart (modern form Dónart), a contemporary of St. Patrick, founded a monastery at Maghera north of Newcastle. According to tradition he was appointed by St. Patrick to guard the surrounding countryside from the summit of Slieve Donard. He is supposed not to have died, but to be a 'perpetual guardian' (see MacNeill, 84-96). In pagan times this mountain was known as Sliabh Slainge. Slainge, the son of Partholon, was the first physician in Ireland. According to the Annals of the Four Masters, he died in Anno Mundi 2533 (2533 years after the creation of the world according to Irish mythology) and was buried here in a cairn. On the top of Slieve Donard there are two cairns, one on the very summit and the other, called the 'Lesser Cairn', on the Ordnance Survey maps, some eight hundred feet to the north-east. Both of them have been much disturbed. The Summit Cairn has been tampered with by sappers and water commissioners: the Lesser cairn has small piles of stones about it, but it is difficult to say whether these are ancient structures or just re-arrangements by modern hands. Dr. Estyn Evans, who calls the Summit Cairn 'the oldest mark of man in the Mournes', says that it is a 'corbelled passage grave of the early Bronze Age.' The Lesser Cairn, he points out, is visible from the sandhills of the shore, although the Summit Cairn is not (MacNeill, 85). Slieve Donard is the highest mountain in the Mourne Mountains area and the 19th highest in Ireland. Slieve Donard is the highest point in county Down.

Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
Short Summary created by Harry Goodman, 12 Jul 2010
Suggested routes (a) From Donard Park
SW through Donard Wood up the Glen River track, then out across open ground and a steep climb up to the Mourne Wall
. Go left steeply up stone steps to the top. (b) Alternatively once on open ground
go S down across the river and then up by the Black Stairs, a short steep rocky climb, alongside a stream, which soon gives way to a less steep slope of grass/heather. At
swing SW and continue up to steeper rocky ground to the Lesser Cairn
. Walk up and across to the Great Cairn and the top. (c) Start at Bloody Bridge Car Park
. Go S along the road for 150m and turn right on to a track up along the Bloody Bridge River, crossing it at
. Follow the track up to the Mourne Wall
. Turn right and up along the wall to the top. A combination of these routes for ascent and descent makes for a more enjoyable walk. From Donard, other peaks of the High Mournes, the Sperrins (NW) and the Belfast and Antrim Hills (N) can all be seen. Additionally in very clear conditions the Galloway Hills (NE), Isle of Man (E) and the Wicklow Mts (S) all stand out While the accepted high point of Slieve Donard is 850m, a man made high point marked by the trig pillar, sits atop a stone shelter tower at a corner in the Mourne Wall and is credited in the OSNI Mourne Activity 1:25,000 scale map with a height of 853 metres. A living rock spot height is also shown as 849m.

Picture from wicklore : My first view of the Mournes from Donard
My first view of the Mournes from Donard
wicklore on Slieve Donard, 2008
23 Jul 2008
My very first trip to the Mournes was in March'07. Not only was I intending to climb Donard but I really wanted to see the infamous Mourne Wall too. I left Dublin early and eventually found my way to Donard Park carpark in Newcastle at approx
I followed the track from the carpark up along the Glen River. It was a nice walk which got me warmed up on that very cold day. Following the track brought me to a useful information board at approx
, which described a curious Ice House situated further along the track across the river. The track then led past this Ice House and into the valley below Donard and Commedagh. Being my first trip to the Mournes I was surprised at how easy this navigation was-far different from staring across featureless bog in deepest Wicklow! Just following this clear track was going to bring me from the carpark right up to the col below Donard!
The stone track brought me to the top of the valley, across a stream and headed up to the col in a series of steps. It had been getting progressively colder and extra layers were needed. Also snow lay on the valley slopes. I discovered that the track up to the col was covered in ice in many places and impossible to walk on. I scrambled up beside it but it was difficult and I needed my wits about me. I had seen the Mourne Wall from below but it disappeared from view as I climbed. I was thrilled when I eventually reached it. To seasoned Mourne walkers the Wall is an everyday thing that is probably invisible to them, but to me it was the Thing of Legend. I admired the breathtaking views from the Wall across the Mournes. A fantastic stile allowed an easy climb over the Wall. I couldn't name any of the unfamiliar summits. It was too cold to take out the map and snow lay all across the hills.
I then turned left to begin the trek up along the Wall to the summit of Donard. I had never seen such a steep climb, and snow lay in deep drifts to further test my will.
The details of that tortuous and soul-sapping climb would require a book in itself but suffice to say I made it. The accompanying photo shows the majesty of the snow-covered view from Donard that day. I was really getting a baptism of fire!
My plan to retrace my steps was out of the question due to the lethal ice-covered track below the col so I headed South along the Wall to find the route to Bloody Bridge. The snow was 3 feet deep in places on this side and another survival adventure ensued. I followed the Wall to approx
and turned left. Eventually I reached the Bloody Bridge and a Bloody Long Walk back to Newcastle and my car. An excellent day and an excellent introduction to the Mournes!

Looking NE across Donard Lesser Cairn

For anyone looking for a different approach to Slieve Donard I would recommend a route starting at the Harbour in Newcastle
which initially follows the waymarked Granite Trail steeply up the line of a former funicular railway known locally as the Bogey Line. After crossing the stile at the top end of the trail the track turns right to cross another stile and then the high point of the Granite Trail. From
climb up around the right side of the quarry near by making sure to stay well away from the edge on your left hand side. Gradually work your way round by heading SW and then SE across a sream and up to the top of Millstone Mountain at
. Walk SW across a boggy coll before starting to climb up the eastern slopes of Slieve Donard. Initially the terrain is soft and peat covered but soon changes to rockey ground leading up to the Lesser Cairn at
. From here it is a short gentle walk up to the the highest point in Ulster. Descend W with a touch of N along the Mourne Wall to pick up a paved stoney track down to the coll
and then NE down the Glen River Track ( the most frequently used route up and down the mountain ). On the way down the restored Ice House on the other bank of the river is worth a look at approximately
. Continue to follow the river track down to Donard Bridge
. Do not go across but rather turn right and follow the forest track out to the public road and then left to the main Newcastle to Kilkeel road. Turn right and walk along to the Harbour car park.

People climb Bearnagh, walk Commedagh and "do" Donard - y'know, the way you "do" Shakespeare or Yeats. Although the views into Dundrum Bay on hot summer days are singularly sweet, she is simply not the most exciting (if tallest) of the Mourne tops.
So how do you "do" Donard and make it interesting. Simple - come off her. Exit South through the back door towards the brown bog of the same name. The descent will give you completely mindblowing vistas over the strange Annalong river to the tops Binnian to Beg. By negotiating the Buttress (you have to go looking for the track made by a one legged sheep, above the Buttress face) you get that strange sensation of almost touching the other side if only the glen weren't between you and the target.
There's lots to see and do - as say the brochures - Hare's Castles, old quarry works, hints of olde worlde humans, a fascinating (well for the moraine hunters) dunno what it is - some kind of glacial oxbow, beautiful flora and fungi, in the summer buzzy bees and perfumed bell heather, ravens swimming the air - the whole heap.
Drop down to the river - if you can tear yourself away, you have the choice of coming back up the main Annalong track West of the water and in the lee of the terrifying Lamagan slabs, and spooky gullies of Cove and Beg.
Or you can follow a wall up to Binnian's Back Castles and top-hop back to Donard.
To "do" Donard, leave her - and I promise you, she'll call you back.
(See pic of Binnian en route.)

21 Feb 2008
I just thought I would share an interesting story with you. My self and my son Tiernan are keen Hikers and have spent many happy weekends rambling the hills of the mournes. Every weekend Tiernan packs his backpack and checks his kit before we set off. For the last year and a half we have spent most of our time on the route to Slieve Donard from Donard car park. Every weekend Tiernan gets a little bit further than the last time before stopping for his lunch and heading back to the car. On Saturday the 16th February Tiernan made it for the first time to the summit of Slieve Donard. This story might not seem out of the ordinary except for the fact that Tiernan was born on the 17th May 2004 which makes him nearly four years old. Tiernans day was made when some hikers greeted him at the top by shacking his hand and congratulating him. This is a respectful achievement for people of all ages but for Tiernan it was nothing short of incredible. I always bring my camera so I can take loads of pictures and put them on the net for our friends and family. Naturally I have loads of pictures of this particular event which I would be delighted to share with you if you are interested.

Slieve Donard being the highest peak in the Mournes offers some fantastic views in reward for walking to the summit. Gaze south over the Carlingford Mountains and beyond Dundalk Bay towards the Wicklow Mountains shimmering seductively on southern horizon. The Isle of Man and a glimpse of Scotland attract the eye eastward with Belfast City easily visible to the north. Lough Neagh completes the cardinal tour to the west.
The Mourne Peaks and Tors dominate the immediate view from south to north laid out below as a 3 dimensional map, tempting further walking and exploration. Indeed, many a day I've spent walking here, choosing routes and peaks almost at random.
From the summit delight in the birds eyes view of the local drumlin countryside. Study the low lying land that melds into Dundrum Bay encircled with what looks like end moraine formations. Trace the tree lined rivers that tumble toward the sea. Are they remnants of once torrential glacial outflows? Try and picture in your minds eye the great glacial ice sheets spilling from the mountain valleys sculpting and moulding the terrain laid out below.
There are many and varied accent / descent routes available to the walker each one presenting it's own unique and pleasing characteristics. The tourist route, starting in Donard car park takes you up the Glen River path were it's fascinating to examine the transition from Silurian bedrock to the younger granite. Follow the path which will lead you all the way to the Mourne wall. On the way stop and study the varied glacial features. The most notable is the Corrie that's been carved out from the Northern face of Donard. Look out for this as you drive towards Newcastle from Castlewellan, it's a most prominent feature toward evening. There's also the glacial spur of Eagle Rock and the Pot of Pulgarve. I always find it awe inspiring to think of the energy required to gouge these formations from the mountains. Anyway, proceeding up the path stop just above the tree line and look left to the rippled surfaces of Thomas's Mountain. You can still see the layering folds formed in the molten magma as it cooled after being injected into the long gone Silurian overcoat. When you reach the wall swing left and follow it to make your accent to the summit. There's a stone path leading up the flank of the summit which follows the wall. It's a bit dicey in places so watch your step if its wet. Just one other thing. For anyone who has regularly walked in the Mournes have you noticed a thin band of red subsoil that is exposed at the riverbanks. Its really noticeable up the Tracey track, does anyone know what this is.
