Haze Over Bo Hai
June 26, 2013
A band of thick haze extended across Bo Hai on October 14. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite took this picture the same day. The haze is nearly thick enough to hide the water surface. West of Bo Hai, skies are clearer. This band of thick haze continued a pattern that occurred over eastern China in early October 2011. Haze filled the sky in that region for several days, likely resulting from a combination of urban and industrial pollution, and possibly smoke from agricultural fires.

miss. poetic
| SouloftheButterfly chapter 1 . 3/31/2007
I haven't seen the movie yet, but because I read your fanfict I know a bit of what it's about now. I've wanted to watch this movie but I just didn't know what it was about. There wasn't enough suspense in the summaries and trailors and the title to get me to run over to the theatres. But not I will.
Oh my gosh. This is a really well written fanfict. You have a unique style that is different from everyone else's. I, like quite a lot of other people, like how you put those italicized words in between. It really gives it a poetic feel. This fanfict is one of the better ones that I've seen. Bravo. Well written, well written

Anyway, good job! Keep up the good work!

Wow... Really nice... a lil bit too short though... Shuei Feng/Jin/Wind and Leo was portrayed perfectly... ROCK ON!
| Scrunchii chapter 1 . 7/28/2005
That movie was so beautiful and you've managed to bring that beauty through even with so little visual detail. I love how you have the song winding through the lines, it's so sad. I love that movie so much...*sighs*...poor, poor Zhang Ziyi...

But for competition purposes, I think the idea has merit. It will be met with resistance, but it would make the game more exciting.
Goal line stands are always exciting too, so it would definitely be a plus as far as entertainment value goes.
I'm not really comfortable with marginalising special teams and kickers specifically even further though, so the opposite idea of moving the extra point back a bit is more appealing to me.
Don't be a douche.

Reaction to Competition
As redbuds grow and mature they become less shade tolerant. Old trees usually suffer from heart rot and cannot normally tolerate severe competition and shade. Redbud is most accurately classed as tolerant of shade.

Pedestrian dies after being hit by train in St. Matthews
A man dies Thursday afternoon after being hit by a train in St. Matthews.
Google has fixed an issue with its Google Maps search function, which previously led people to The White House if they searched for variations of the n-word with the word house.
A Twitter user first discovered the problem Tuesday afternoon.
On Thursday...
It will take at least two years, and perhaps as many as five, to replace all the Takata airbags in the record number of cars being recalled.
Part of the problem is that it will take a long time to make all of the replacement airbags for the 34 million...

Sync problems on 2nd twinview DFP display
Hi, I'm looking for some insight into this problem. I'm especially interested if nVidia has tested this configuration.
One Geforce 880GTS
Two Dell 3007WFP 30" Flat-panel displays connected with Dual-Link DVI cables (confirmed by looking at the full array of pins)
Intel Core 2 Duo, Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 WS update 5 (64-bit)
I have the two displays set up with TwinView oriented top and bottom, with Xinerama enabled. Always on the "second" monitor (plugged into the right-hand DVI port on the card when viewing it from behind) there is sometimes graphical corruption/artifacts/sync problems. It's hard to describe, but if you imagine the display made up of many "columns" of pixels, the columns seem to be interleaved in a strange way.. like if normally you'd see ABCDEF, it appears as BADCFE. Sometimes the "rows" of the screen shimmer or shake left-to-right, like there are some sync problems. If I reverse the cables, the problem moves to the other monitor. I have an identical setup that also has the same problem, so I don't think the displays, cables, or cards have some individual problem. Remember this happens often, but not all the time. Sometimes the second monitor will look fine. If I kill X, or simply switch to a text console (ctrl-alt-1, then ctrl-alt-7) and back I can sometimes see these graphical errors.
I've tried Linux drivers 1-9755 and 100.14.11 both with the same effect.
My xorg.conf is a pretty vanilla TwinView config. here's the device section
Section "Device"
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
Any ideas?
Re: Sync problems on 2nd twinview DFP display
This is a known bug which will be fixed in a future driver release.
Re: Sync problems on 2nd twinview DFP display
Have exactly the same setup (but 8800GTX), and the most prominent problem here is that one of the screens start flashing after a while. Over time it flashes more and more frequently. A reboot fixes it for some time.
Really look forward to the fix, hope it makes into the next release.

Zooming In On The Colorful Star Cluster NGC 3590
May 21, 2014
[ Read the Article: Studying A Star Cluster In Carina ]
This zoom video starts with a view of the spectacular southern Milky Way and gradually closes in on a rich region of the sky in the constellation of Carina (The Keel). The colourful final image comes from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile and shows the star cluster NGC 3590. These stars shine brightly in front of a dramatic landscape of dark patches of dust and richly hued clouds of glowing gas. This small stellar gathering gives astronomers clues about how these stars form and evolve — as well as giving hints about the structure of our galaxy's pinwheeling arms.

T Fight 315?
On Tecnifibres website it has a new 2013 T Fight 315 listed, yet in their product catalogue that someone on here posted it didn't have that if I remember correctly. Can anyone explain why?
Wow.... specs are very friendly. 98 sq inches, stiffness at 64, and available at both open and closed patterns.
I was excited to see it! I hope it's available here!!!
TWE doesn't have the 315 listed. :(
A shame, I sent an email to Tecnifibre customer service, but I'm expecting they're not selling this to the US.
specs are on racquetfinder, seems like an interesting stick
Hmmm the specs in racquetfinder are different from the website. Stiffness is way low at 61 and 59 respectively. Interesting if the metallic ping of the Tfights make an appearance.
Swingweight is so low too. I thought it'll be close to around 5-6 pts HL strung since the unstrung balance at the website was at 8 HL
Specs of Tfights 315 looks very promissing, but i agree swingweight is way too low for 315 gram stick. I would personally liked swinweight somewhere betweeen
Thought it was supposed to be up for presale today?
I thought it was too.
Anybody know what is up?
I observed this racket and asked a company that works close to them.
Said they mistakenly announced the existence of this racket on the homepage and now are obligated to sell it. Says it will not be a large production.
wont be available however for another 2 months. The specs are nice especially flex, I think this racquet is exactly what they need, i.e. a true players frame.
PM me for more info
Lol if that's the case then this must be the best thing that happened to them.
Hehe I don't think there's any other racquet out there at 315 unstrung 98 square inches in a closed pattern, thin beamed too!
Had a hunch they might just be using an old mold. Those ridiculously low flex numbers just feels like something from the past.
I am surprised by this because there employees were fully aware the racquet was coming out before the racquets were posted on their website.
Back in November Josh Hausman had told me about the new TFight 315 ltd.
So If that is the case, that would be very strange.
TW has announced that it's reviewing both versions.
They did a version of the old Dunlop 300 tour?
The grip is red leather!
Specs and red leather are awesome, silicone in the handle too!
let's hear from TW if it has metallic sound to it.
If not, then I'm buying!
Agree totally with everyone - let's hope the metallic ping is gone. Liking the specs, flex especially. Would have really liked a slightly longer version like the old TF 325 I checked out quite a few years back.
This might be a racket I'll be buying without demoing.
anyone know when this will be available in the U.S.? check that. I saw in Odds/Ends that they are supposed to be getting the entire new line in any day now. Plus the review should be up in the next week as well as Bartelby already pointed out.
Anybody heard much about the racquet?
Looks so interesting. Might very well be my next racquet if I like the way it feels.

Ronaldo Shows Czechs the Exit at Euro 2012
WARSAW—Cristiano Ronaldo comes to the soccer field for two simple reasons—to shoot the ball and to score goals.
He will pass, but he doesn't really enjoy that. Ronaldo, the divisive star whose outsize talents, competitive fire, petulant demeanor and mugs for the camera make him one of the most admired and hated players in the world, did everything he could to put the ball in the back of the net Thursday night against the Czech Republic in the quarterfinal of Euro 2012.
He shot early, late and often, from near and from far, using every allowable part of his body to create an opportunity. He scolded teammates when they didn't feed him the ball properly. He scolded the referee when he didn't get the calls he felt were his due.
He hoarded free kicks, curving them around defensive walls and knocking one into the goal post. He tried a bicycle kick from six yards out only to send the ball wide and be whistled offsides. Near the end of the first half, hovering between two defenders, he somehow corralled a pass from the middle of the field, flicked the ball over his shoulder, spun and fired a shot into the near post.
The payoff finally came 79 minutes in, when Ronaldo cut in from the left side and dove eight yards from the goal to connect his forehead with a cross from Joao Moutinho. The ball pounded off the grass and slipped over the fingertips of Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech and into the net for the decisive goal in Portugal's 1-0 win, sending Ronaldo sprinting into the arms of his teammates and over to the television cameras for a primal scream at close range.
"We had a lot of chances," Ronaldo said when it was done. "We had a great unity on the pitch and that's why we have reached our goal."
Portugal will meet the winner of Saturday's Spain-France quarterfinal Wednesday in Donetsk, Ukraine.
Ronaldo overshadows his team, so Portugal coach Paulo Bento was careful to spread credit to the rest of the side for the win, trying not to heap praise on by far the brightest star on the field.
"We showed a great capacity to react, and that's why we really deserve this victory," Bento said. "It's very just that we qualified for the semifinals."
But Czech coach Michal Bilek left little doubt about what separated his squad from the Portuguese.
"He knows how to play with his head, with both feet. You have to really pay attention to him," Bilek said. "He's a really good player, and that decided the match."
For most of the evening, Ronaldo and his teammates pelted Cech, who tossed his body from post to post. Cech leapt and twisted in the 60th minute, sending a hand skyward to deflect over the crossbar a strike from 20 yards by Moutinho that seemed destined for the roof of the net. Portugal had 22 shots in all, wearing out the grass on the Czech end of the field with a dominance that grew as the minutes wore on. The Czechs managed just two shots all night, neither on target.
Cech was the hero for Chelsea in Champions League, and this game showed why. Without him, the Czechs might have lost by three or four goals. Few expected the Czechs even to make it this far. Rabid hockey fans, they grew beards in imitation of their countrymen who play in the National Hockey League.
In the tunnel before the game they looked positively giddy, a contrast the taut faces of the Portuguese, dour and stricken with the weight of expectations on Ronaldo and his teammates ever since he darted onto the world scene nearly a decade ago.
Ronaldo has evolved into an otherworldly scorer, tallying about a goal a game for Real Madrid in La Liga. But has developed a reputation for shrinking on the biggest stages. Ronaldo had taken 98 shots and scored just five goals in his 16 matches at major international tournaments, hardly the sort of dominance that arguably the greatest player on the planet should display.
Then came his two goals against the Netherlands in the final group stage match that sent Portugal into the quarterfinal. His game-winning score that night should go some distance toward ending his reputation as a shrinking violet who gets pouty under distress.
Thursday could have gone just that way.
For much of the first 20 minutes the match resembled a sloppy high school game between two teams without much of a plan, each side pressing hard on defense, making it difficult for either team to complete more than a few passes in a row.
But after 25 minutes, Portugal began to bully the Czechs. Nani sent Czech defender David Limbersky to the turf with an elbow to the back at midfield, earning a yellow card. A minute later, Miguel Veloso went hard into midfielder Vladimir Darida's legs, getting a yellow of his own.
The pressure forced the Czechs onto their heels, deeper into their own end until they could barely get out. From there, it seemed, the ball always ended up on the feet of one of the most dangerous players on the planet.
As he often does, Ronaldo stuck his face right into another camera just after the final whistle blew. In terms of personality, he is who he is. But in terms of his impact in the biggest international matches, he is quickly becoming something that he has never been before.

Here are some ideas to discuss with your family and friends to honor our living veterans and to pay tribute to those who have gone before us and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
1. Volunteering to place flags on military graves
Growing up, my Dad brought me and my siblings along before Memorial Day to place flags on the graves of servicemen and women. We were instructed that this was a solemn task and no complaining was tolerated. I can remember hot days, cold days, rainy days and bug-infested days. It didn't matter to Dad. He would explain that our servicemen and women endured these conditions and much worse to keep us safe and free. It was a regular family project that left a deep impression on all of us. Contact your local American Legion or VFW organization to volunteer your time during the military holidays and all year long.
2. Reach out to a military family in your community
Extend a hand in friendship to a military family. Invite them over for a meal, bring them a meal or invite them out for dinner. Something as simple as running an errand or taking a walk together can forge a friendship. If Mom or Dad is deployed, there will be additional challenges for the spouse at home. Get to know them and find out what you can offer. Simple gestures such as clipping extra diaper coupons, cutting the grass or helping to put up Christmas lights can mean so much when you are alone.
3. Put it in writing
Write a letter of thanks to a military family, those currently in the service or a veteran through Operation Gratitude.
4. Gather for a send-off
The Pease Greeters are a volunteer group of individuals who see our troops off at the airport when they leave the US and head for the Middle East. The Pease Greeters always give out gifts to the soldiers along with snacks they can take on the airplane. Connect with them and join them for a send-off or donate so they can provide care packages.

Jeff Probst is trolling us again. For "Survivor"'s 29th season, CBS and Probst--who's the show's executive producer, showrunner, and host--have cast John Rocker. Yes, that's the former baseball player who said all those awful things in Sports Illustrated back in the 1990s, and who has continued to say awful things, from using anti-gay slurs in a restaurant in the early 2000s to arguing last year that the Holocaust would never have occurred if Jewish people had and used guns. Probst defended Rocker's casting by calling him "a perfect fit for this show because of all the baggage he brings in" and arguing that because Rocker "made some very controversial, polarizing comments about how he views the world. That is in its core, when you take away all the strategy and all the challenges — that is what Survivor is about." I hate to take the bait here and react to such obvious trifle, »

Tyga ft. Chris Brown - F**k for the Road
Artist: Tyga
Featuring: Chris Brown
Producer: Lil C
Album: Hotel California
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 28 votes )
Tyga will be the first to admit that he hasn't always been the ideal boyfriend. On top of the endless weeks on the road and other demands of his busy lifestyle, he's been known to make the occasional "mistake." Thus, when his latest girl wanted to break it off, he wasn't about to fight her. He did, however, have one small request: "Let's do it one last time… F*ck for the Road." On the latest song release off his junior set, the YMCMB tries to sweet-talk the woman in question into ending their relationship on a high note, secretly hoping that "final" session between the sheets will persuade her to reconsider her decision to leave. Joining the headliner over Lil C's understated keys, Chris Breezy lends his inimitably smooth vocals to the hook and bridge. For this joint, the previously-featured Molly and much more, check out Hotel California when it hits record stores and online retailers April 9.

Bratton Castle & Westbury White Horse
(Hillfort) — Fieldnotes
Starting at Westbury White Horse today walked to Wellhead Springs which are approximately two miles from the White Horse along a well used bridleway. We didn't see them at first but when they came into view it was - yes, a magical moment. They are in a deep wooded combe which was a bit slippery to get down (but fun too). The water from the springs looked clear and clean though I didn't sample it. A dog walker told us that up until a few days earlier the place had been covered in litter. A solitary man had been down there over several days and cleared it all away with a wheelbarrow. What an unsung hero whoever he is.
Walking back uphill to a footpath which merges into the Wessex Ridgeway we came upon a massive hole in the side of the hill. A chalk quarry belonging to the concrete works in Westbury. I always wonder how this vandalism is allowed to occur to one place. I guess its just accepted in the name of commerce. So glad this hasn't been done elsewhere (to my knowledge anyway) on the wonderful chalk downs of Wiltshire.

Welsh History Month: A tale of two tombs ...
"The island of Anglesey has a personality all of its own. Sheltered in the lee of Snowdonia, it is the only area of fertile and accessible land in a region of high and barren mountains. It is, therefore, not surprising that settlers have been drawn to its shores from the dawn of history. And they have left us some of the most inspiring monuments in Wales."

Entry taken from "A Complete and Universal DICTIONARY of the English Language" by Revd. James Barclay - dated 1812.
STONEHENGE, a remarkable monument of antiquity situated on Salisbury Plain. It stands on the summit of a hill, which rises with a very gentle ascent; and consists of stones of enormous size, placed upon one another in a circular form: many of which are really stupendous, and cannot fail of filling the beholder with surprise and admiration. All the stones added together make just 140. One, at the upper end which is fallen down and broken in half, measures, according to Dr. Hales, 25 feet in length, 7 in breadth, and, at a medium, 3 and a half in thickness. The stones are supposed to have been brought from the Grey Weathers, upon Marlborough Downs, but the difficulty in bringing them hither, and especially in laying them one upon another, is inconceivable, as no mechanical powers now known are sufficient to raise those that lie across to their present extraordinary situation. It is supposed to have been a temple belonging to the Antient (sic) Druids. Stonehenge is 2 miles W. of Amesbury, and 6 N.N.W. of Salisbury.

Grimspound & Hookney Tor
— Fieldnotes
On a walking break for a few days in Devon last week. Spent a day (it was never going to be long enough) travelling to and walking on Dartmoor. First walk was to Wistman's Wood - a place I have long wanted to visit. Ancient twisted oaks dripping with silvery lichen and huge rocks covered in mosses, the place had another-worldly feel.
Later, a quick roadside stop to look at Soussons Common Cairn Circle and then on to Grimspound Bronze Age settlement.
Grimspound is one of the best known prehistoric settlements on Dartmoor, probably dating from the Late Bronze Age, with the remains of 24 houses/hut circles enclosed within a stone wall. A very impressive place to visit as positioned on the steep side of some spectacular moor land. A peaty fast flowing stream runs down past one side of the circular wall.
Text taken from 'Ancient Dartmoor' by Paul White says "The most famous of the pound settlements is Grimspound, which is untypical in the immense thickness of its outer walls. It has been calculated that these would have taken 35 man-years to make. Since the site is badly positioned for defence (and the Bronze Age was a remarkably peaceful period) it is hard to see why such a massive structure was needed." Paul White goes on to say it would be tempting to assume these people were pastoralists, keeping their sheep and cattle on the moor and bringing them in for protection from raiders such as wolves or 'the wild lads from the next valley', however, he adds there is no evidence to support these assumptions.

Cley Hill
(Hillfort) — Fieldnotes
A chance visit, not planned at all. Just the other side of Warminster today on the way to somewhere else, spotted this marvelous enigmatic looking hill. Never seen before by me. Abandoned original plan with "Let's walk up it." Remarkably easy to access, just past the entrance to Longleat there is a National Trust signpost and small car park. Easy walk up ... today was very windy indeed which made it a lot of fun. There is a clear information board telling us about the Bronze Age bowl barrows, Iron Age hill fort and the six different varieties of orchid. Too late for the orchids today but amazing views - in some ways this hill reminded me of Uffington and even Glastonbury Tor as it has a smaller hill next to it. Very much the same 'feel' as Uffington but without the white horse of course.
Lovely, relatively, unsung place. Added to list of great hill forts around Wiltshire.

West Kennet Avenue Settlement Site
(Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork) — News
Update on second year dig at Avebury WK Avenue
Archaeology students mostly from Southampton and Leicester universities have re-opened one trench from last year's dig and opened another major area of investigation in West Kennet Avenue. This involves moving tons of turf and soil and getting down to a level of soil that has never been ploughed ("intact soil") and so holds flints and other artefacts such as pottery shards, where they were dropped.
This part of the Avenue was chosen because it had been investigated by the marmalade millionaire Alexander Keiller in the 1930s and he had located a gap in Avenue's stones. Such a gap must have been left for a reason – perhaps because there was a building or other special structure that had to be preserved.
Among these finds are several flint arrowheads – including one miniature barbed and tanged arrowhead (photo left) which the project's experts say is deliberately miniaturised. Whether it was made as a gift, a toy or for a ritual purpose is another matter altogether. Whatever the reason for making it, the workmanship is extraordinary.
This dig is part of the long term Between the Monuments programme which aims, as National Trust archaeologist Dr Nick Snashall puts it, "to put the people back into the Avebury site." Finding out more about the routine lives and residence of the people who built and used Avebury's henge and avenues should help understand why these monuments were made and why this site was chosen.
It is a collaborative research project between the University of Southampton (Dr Josh Pollard), University of Leicester (Dr Mark Gillings), Allen Environmental Archaeology (Dr Mike Allen) and the National Trust (Dr Ros Cleal & Dr Nick Snashall.)
On Tuesday (August 5), with only two full days to go before the dig had to finish and with some rain showers during the morning, people from the surrounding villages were shown over the site and heard about the project's progress.
Despite the buckets, wheelbarrows and spades (there was even someone spotted wielding a pick axe – albeit on the upper layers of soil), archaeology makes use of all the latest technology. This year laser measuring equipment has been used on the site.
Dr Mark Gillings & soil samplesDr Mark Gillings & soil samplesAnd those plastic bags behind Dr Gillings (photo left) contain soil samples which will be analysed and may reveal tell-tale signs of plant life, what animals were about and so on. This is important as the soil is so acidic that snail shells and bones are not found – but pollen and chemical residues will be preserved and identified in the analysis.
Another recently available technique allows scientists to tell what different sizes and shapes of flint cutting tools were used for. This high-magnification process has shown one tool found last year was used to cut nettles – from which string and cords were made.
Another exciting find in one of last year's trenches is what looks to the experts like the remains of a 'possible hearth'. It was nearby in this trench that they discovered in 2013 twelve certain or probable stake-holes in a pattern that could justify the theory that they were part of a dwelling of some sort: it is very tempting to add two such finds together to make a dwelling.
And then, just when the students thought they had unearthed some really good and significant finds from many centuries BC, someone finds a mediaeval coin. Mind you, this coin far smaller than our five pence piece and paper thin, so spotting it amidst the soil and recognising that it was anything at all worth keeping from the spoil heap, is a testament to these students' growing expertise and enthusiasm.
As ever, it is a matter of funding being available to allow a third year's dig to reveal even more of the evidence of the human lives that flourished in between Avebury's stones.

Spotted this 'split' standing stone while looking for the Pulcin an Chairn wedge tomb. It stands in the middle of a field along the same single track road as the wedge tomb. Haven't been able to find any additional information about this site. Hopefully will be able to add something to this brief field note later.

(Cliff Fort) — Fieldnotes
Visited 18th May 2014
Dunbeg Fort is closed to visitors at present because of the serious damage caused by the winter storms. Visitors are allowed to walk down to it but no access to the site - it is clear to try and enter would be dangerous. The woman in the audio-visual centre told us that engineers had recently undertaken a structural survey and there is hope that some of the damage can be repaired with limited access allowed later in the summer.
The following information is taken from the audio-visual leaflet.
"Dunbeg Fort is a small but impressive example of a promontory fort but its location makes it even more dramatic. Built on a sheer cliff, its archaeological excavation was undertaken in the late 1970s. There are two major phases of occupation recorded. The first phase was around the 8th and 9th centuries AD. Clusters of stake holes to the north and south of the fort indicated the presence of wooden tripods for supporting pots and skins over the fire. Analysis of the occupation debris suggests a diet mainly of pigs, sheep and goats with some cows.
The second phase of occupation lay above the first phase and was around the 10th and 11th centuries AD. It was concentrated on two hearths in the centre of the Beehive (clochan). The bones of sheep, pig, deer, birds and fish were also recorded. But the excavation results did not reveal what the site was used for; it may have been defensive, or used for ritual or even status purposes, or it may simply have just been lived in."
Some lovely examples of clochans/beehive huts nearby on the hillside.

Fallen stones near Milltown Milestone

(Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes
Visited 19th May 2014
Located in Milltown just outside the town of Dingle on the Dingle peninsula, the large standing in the front garden of Milestone B&B is clearly visible from the road. Known locally as the Milestone, the stone stands in good view of Brandon Mountain with large recumbent stones in the adjacent field. These stones feel 'related' to the standing stone though now separated by a fence. I *think* one of the stones has cup and ring marks but heavily covered in lichen so hard to make out. The farmer who rents the field politely asked us to leave at this point as he wanted to lock the gate - so we really only had a cursory look.

Corr Aille Spiral
(Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art) — Fieldnotes
Visited 19th May 2014 while spending a week exploring the Dingle peninsula, Kerry, Ireland.
Learnt about this spiral rock carving whilst visiting Kilmalkedar ruined medieval church on the Dingle peninsula. Before going into the church and churchyard – which contain a fine ogham stone, a large stone cross and stone sun dial, all dating around 12th century – we wandered up the lane to another atmospheric ruin, Fothraich Brenndan (St Brendan's House) with a fast flowing spring nearby. Also nearby was an information board which made reference to a recently discovered spiral rock carving known as the Corr Aille Spiral. We noticed the route of the Pilgrim's Way or 'Way of the Saints' was close by going uphill and marked by posts with the Pilgrim's Way symbol on them. We fell in with a couple also visiting from England and set off with them in search of the stone. We walked up Reenconnell Hill from post to post which were positioned every 100 metres or so, jumping over bogs in the process. One of other two people strode on ahead and at the very top of the hill in what appeared to be a rocky outcrop he located the spiral stone. From this point there are fabulous views towards Brandon Mountain on one side and two bays on the other.
The Pilgrim's Way or Cosan na Naomh starts at Ventry Bay and goes to the summit of Brandon Mountain, 18 km or 11miles. It is thought to be a much older pre-Christian pilgrimage route in honour of the festival Lughnasa traditionally held 31st July. It was later renamed for St Brendan the Navigator who came from the town of Tralee.

Doonmanagh (Puicin an Chairn)
(Wedge Tomb) — Fieldnotes
Just back from a dream like week on the Dingle peninsula. No stone circles on Dingle though lots of standing stones. This wedge tomb, however, more than compensated for the absence of stone circles. Probably one of the most inaccessible sites I've ever visited. A long drive down a narrow single track road and very difficult to locate on a steep, boggy hilltop overlooking sea and mountains in the parish of Min Aird. The tomb is on the other side of a stone wall and unless you know where to look almost impossible to see. We were directed there by a helpful, friendly, person at the Ballyferriter (West Kerry) Regional Museum.
Apart from the breathtaking views - my amateurish photo cannot do it justice - it is of particular interest as most of the original stones covering the cairn are still in place.
Just had to sit for a while and soak up the 'words fail me' beauty of the place.

Rushy Platt Bowl Barrow
(Barrow / Cairn Cemetery) — Fieldnotes
Site is on the edge of what is now a housing development on the southern side of Swindon, also close to the river Ray. Although not a lot to see, a green circular area enclosed by wooden posts, and a scheduled ancient monument plaque with the description "Rushy Platt Bowl barrow is sealed under a layer of modern landfill. Archaeological investigations reveal it consists of a mound 11m in diameter and about .75m high. There is a large flat slab sealing a deep pit containing worked flint".
It is unusual in as much it is not on Wiltshire down land but on a low lying ancient fen area, now a designated nature reserve 'Rushy Platt Nature Reserve'. Anyone wishing to visit can access the site via a pleasant walk along the Berks and Wilts Canal known locally as Kingshill Canal. The barrow is on the right across a small river and bridge. Walk into the housing development and it is just in front of you. (See English Heritage link for map).

Figsbury Ring
(Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork) — Fieldnotes
Visited today courtesy of a good friend who now lives in Devizes - part of a long awaited trip to Old Sarum. The sun was shining and at Old Sarum we really did feel like tourists, walking around the old castle ruins and ramparts a few paces in front of a French family.
Figsbury Ring, off the A30, was a very different experience. By now the morning mist had cleared and the afternoon was Warm and Sunny .. how wonderful in itself that was in the middle of March. The first thing I noticed, although owned by the National Trust and designated a SSSI, Figsbury Ring is adjacent to some heavy duty MOD land and there are 'Keep Out - Danger' notices all along the right hand side of the hill fort as you walk towards it.
An unusual hill fort, univallate with an inner circular ditch. I did a bit of reading after my visit and there is a view that this is the site of a late Neolithic henge which was later utilized as a hill fort. On a grassland chalk ridge it provides great views towards Old Sarum and Salisbury Cathedral - though both were shrouded in mist today.
In the course of my reading I also came across this item in the Heritage Journal. It doesn't appear to be posted on TMA so here it is -
Perhaps it is worth mentioning there were lots of rabbits around - we spoke to a dog walker as we were leaving who had just disposed of a rabbit picked up by her dog which appeared to have myxomatosis.

A303 upgrade to be fast tracked because of flooding crisis
The prospect of fast-tracking an upgrade of the second artery into the region comes as travel in the West country has been thrown into turmoil as the only mainline into Devon and Cornwall collapsed into the sea at Dawlish.
When questioned in the Commons as the region was effectively cut off by rail, transport minister Robert Goodwill said widening the A303 was a project on which the Government "needs to concentrate".

Cadbury Castle (South Cadbury)
(Hillfort) — Miscellaneous
" ... But I should at once declare my position on all matters Arthurian. I would be bitterly disappointed if it was proved - which looks unlikely - that there was a historical Arthur. One of the great triumphs of the English literary imagination is that the cathedral of prose which is the Arthurian cycle was built up over centuries on empty ground.
Even so, on arriving at Cadbury Castle I could see why such sober heads as Leslie Alcock, who had excavated here in the 1960s, should have succumbed to its charm: the ring of trees around the banked hill; the approach up through them along a hollow way; the emergence onto a plateau commanding views across to the Somerset Levels and Glastonbury. Moreover it was close to the River Cam, and had the villages of West Camel and Queen Camel just to the west, so encouraging the identification with 'Camelot'.
When Alcock excavated here, he established that the hill-fort was built in the Bronze Age, with later Iron Age usage, and that it was substantially enlarged and occupied just after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the fifth century - much more so than other comparable hill-forts. The fifth century was precisely when Arthur was supposed to have emerged to lead the British against the Anglo-Saxons.
With great good luck, Alcock discovered a 'Great Hall' from this period, measuring some sixty-five feet long; good luck, in that his team of archaeologists allowed themselves only a relatively small part of the plateau to excavate, so to find anything was providential. Perhaps it was this that tipped Alcock over the edge into making the identification with King Arthur, which brought Cadbury Castle to world wide attention at a time, the late 1960s, when a generation were searching for a lost and future king. It cost him a great deal of respect from his peers, who questioned the historicity of Arthur. There are no contemporary accounts of his reign and the first chronicle describing his deeds dates from 600 years later - but then argued Alcock, there are hardly any fifth-century contemporary accounts in the first place..."

"Set back inland from Abbotsbury, and a brisk walk up the coast path, was the Kingston Russell stone circle, a place so off the map that even Aubrey Burl didn't list it in his authoritative gazetteer, Rings of Stone.
In a corner of a farmer's field, the stones lay a little forlorn. There were seventeen of them, arranged in a careful, elliptical shape mirrored by other stone circles along the Atlantic coast. They had been there some 5,000 years.
The stones had all fallen over. English Heritage, who nominally administered the site, hadn't put up so much as a board to inform visitors what they were looking at. While I was there, three couples passed at intervals, heading for the coast path. They would not have noticed the circle if I hadn't pointed it out.
Yet the stones had a majesty, and much that came from their position. The slight rise in the land meant that there was a clear sight line to the round hills of Beacon Knap and other similar knolls heading west along the coast. I was accustomed to the prehistoric love of mimicry, the circle reflecting the shape of the hills beyond.
Making the landscape yours, stamping ownership on the land by showing that you too can shape it, is a primal human instinct. The power of the sacred landscape, and in this case of the sea as well, can be refracted by a sense of placement, of concentration. There was a feeling at the stone circle of great deliberation - that this was precisely the right place for these stones"
Extract from "The Green Road into the Trees - a walk through England" by Hugh Thomson.

Tinhead Hill
(Long Barrow) — Fieldnotes
Visited this hitherto unknown long barrow today. Walked up a firm, steep, footpath from Salisbury Hollow in the village of Edington, turning right at the top onto another field edge footpath. The barrow is in the middle of a crop field almost on the crest of Tinshead Hill. Protected by a strong fence topped with barbed wire and planted with beech trees, it is not possible to investigate too closely. However, couldn't resist walking up to it across the field - it felt very good to have mud on my boots again. Wonderful views towards Salisbury Plain (in fact on the edge of the Plain) and the town of Westbury. Walking back down to Edington there is a beautiful valley reminiscent of the area around Bishopstone in north Wiltshire - also on a spring line I understand, though it too wet underfoot to clamber down to them today.
Many thanks to my good friend M for spotting this long barrow on the OS map and for leading me up there.

Jim Breuer is well known to comedy fans for a number of memorable comedic characters as a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" and in films like "Half Baked," but he is also a humanitarian.
Santa Clarita resident Judi Marmel, producer and manager of Jeff Dunham, Jim Breuer, told Breuer of the Santa Clarita Shelter and how it needed his help to raise funds.
The principal activity of the Santa Clarita Community Development Corporation is the operation of its Santa Clarita Emergency Winter Shelter EWS.
The EWS assists people with the help they need to improve their individual or family circumstances, and with winter coming, their need for help increases.
Breuer will be the headlining performance, but other celebrities have also pitched in including Cher, Carlos Santana and John Muir.
There will be a silent auction for VIP Vegas Concert Experiences, which includes a stay at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, gift certificates to dine at famous restaurants in on top of other gifts.
In addition to his comedic roles, Breuer has also made a film about his father, "More Than Me."
"His whole life, he said, I want you to have more than me," Breuer recalls. "[The movie] deals with knowing that my Dad doesn't have much time left, and rather than sticking him in a home, I take care of him. The film walks you through the whole process, and how not to fear it, how it's a natural part of life, and keep their dignity along with yours." He recently screened it as a work-in-progress for annual Aging Services of California Conference and Exposition.
