Rain is truly the four letter curse word of the wedding world. No bride envisions her wedding day as cloudy, gray, and wet, but unfortunately Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate for important events.
Keep Smiling! Above and beyond everything else, your attitude can make or break the weather situation. That wise advice to dance in the rain can completely apply here. If you are still happy and having fun, your guests will follow.
Use the Weather to your Advantage. We've all seen those adorable Pinterest pictures of the bride and her bridesmaids gathered around in matching umbrellas and boots celebrating a Destin beach wedding. That could be you! As long as you plan accordingly with the requisite accessories, you can use the weather as your opportunity to gain unique and memorable pictures. You could even create last-minute signs and props to incorporate the rain like you had it planned that way all along. Imagine a few wedding pictures with you and your groom impersonating some of the most romantic movie rain scenes (we're talking about you, The Notebook). Dry clothes and clear skies can't compete with that!
Turn Your Backup Plan into a Well Oiled Machine. The last thing you want to do on your wedding day is stress out about the details of the venue, guests arriving in the correct place, and keeping your dress white through the rain. Avoid chaos by hammering down your backup plan well in advance. Renting a tent gives you an easy way to run for cover during a downpour or steady drizzle, but also allows the flexibility of returning to uncovered skies if the weather clears up. If renting a tent isn't an option, you will want to determine a second venue to use in case of day-long nasty weather. Send "rain cards" to your guests so that they know the plan and other location possibilities.
At the end of the day, your wedding will be memorable because of the person you are marrying and the people with whom you share your memories. While it's important to prepare for the weather, no amount of rain, wind, or snow can prevent you from cherishing the memories you make.

According to the complaint, a student was a victim of a hazing ritual in which older boys on the Capital High School basketball team had sexual contact with younger boys.
OLYMPIA — A lawsuit has been filed in federal court against the Olympia School District on behalf of a former student, alleging the district should have done more to protect him from a hazing ritual.
The Olympian reports that attorney Darrell Cochran is representing the student in the suit, which seeks an unspecified amount in damages.
According to the complaint, Cochran's client was a victim in 2012 of a hazing ritual in which older boys on the Capital High School basketball team had sexual contact with younger boys.
The suit alleges the district didn't do enough to protect the boy and failed to discipline the attackers in a timely manner.

I've always been facinated why airlines store aircraft. Would'nt it be better to lease them to other airlines even for cheaper prices or sell them off rather than leave them in the desert for months or even years. Some of the aircraft are pretty new as well, I Remember seeing a pic of some 737-800,777 and A330's in the desert after 11 sept understandable after that scenario but things do seem to be getting back to normal now.

LJWorld.com weblogs Rolling along
Look, ma, no hands … or plaque
I don't often travel with the 8-to-5 set, but not too terribly long ago, when the Journal-World was still an afternoon newspaper, I often would drive to work with other early-morning commuters.
Though commuting to work inside our city limits is nothing like the longer commute in a big city, I'd still see lots of folks making the most of their relatively short drives by multitasking.
This was before the prevalence of cell phones (yeah, I know, I'm old), so back then, instead of tweeting and texting, passengers and drivers alike would make use of their car time to primp, preen and otherwise prime themselves for the work day.
I'd see lots of people eating; most kept it simple, with single-handed meals like biscuits and fruit and such, but on a few occasions I'd see people spooning into bowls of cereal.
I'd see people reading — the paper, notecards, even books splayed out over the steering wheel.
And, of course, there was a lot of personal grooming on display: women applying makeup, men shaving, fixing of hair, plucking, tweezing, brushing of teeth, etc. I never saw a woman shaving, but I did see a guy dragging a dry razor across his face. Ouch.
Commuting by bike makes all but the simplest of commuting time-killers all but impossible. Read? Not without becoming a hood ornament. Fix your hair? What's the point? Brush your teeth? Nah, you have to wait until you arrive, just to get the bugs out. Shave? Depends on whether you like your features.
The other day, though, I saw something that made me think I had it all wrong.
During my vacation to cycling-friendly Seattle, I saw a guy riding down the street, shirtless (the guy, not the street), flossing his teeth. Vigorously. With both hands. I've seen people riding and eating and drinking and doing all sorts of things, but never before had I witnessed oral hygiene on two wheels. I hoped to follow to see if he'd go through an entire routine — hair, deodorant, clothes — but he shifted in the saddle, made a surprisingly sharp no-handed turn and vanished from sight around a corner.
As much as I'd like to accomplish something besides pedaling during my bike commute to work, I think I'll save the flossing for home.
Then again, I had to give the guy props. If ever he were to, say, become a road waffle, at least he'd have pearly whites.

Moore becomes final British woman to go out at SW19
Britain's representation in the women's draw at Wimbledon has ended as Tara Moore bowed out to the 13th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Rain halts upset in the making with Djokovic on the brink
Novak Djokovic's hopes of defending his Wimbledon title hang in the balance after rain halted his match with him two sets down to Sam Querrey.
The number one seed lost the opening set on a tie break before American 28th seed blew him away in the second to take the set 6-1 before rain interrupted the match on Court 1.
Djokovic's exit would leave Andy Murray as the highest ranked player in the men's draw.
French Open champion Muguruza ousted in major upset
Reigning French Open champion and second seed Garbine Muguruza has crashed out of Wimbledon as world number 124 Jana Cepelova created a major upset in the women's draw.
Slovakia's Cepelova sped through the second-round match to claim a 6-3 6-2 victory over the Spanish world number two, who was runner-up to Serena Williams in SW19 last year.
Simon threatens to sue Wimbledon umpire
Gilles Simon ensured the weather remained a talking point on day four of Wimbledon as he threatened to sue umpire John Blom.
After the rain washed out large chunks of days two and three of the Championships, better conditions ensured a prompt start on Thursday.
But when drizzle passed over the All-England Club just after 1.30pm, Simon - on Court One against Grigor Dimitrov - was unhappy at having to play on.
At 40-30 down in the second game of the second set, he walked to his chair and exchanged words with Blom, clearly about the weather.
"I don't want to play, when it's raining, on grass. That's it," he was heard saying, before adding: "If I play and get injured, I will sue you and you will pay."
Dimitrov returned to his seat too but the weather soon passed over and the pair resumed their second-round clash.
Watson out of Wimbledon at first hurdle
Great Britain's Heather Watson has lost 3-6 6-0 12-10 to Germany's Annika Beck in the first round at Wimbledon.
Evans win sets up Federer clash in third round

Dear Sir,
Adjuvant chemotherapy after radical surgery is the standard treatment for patients with node-positive colorectal cancer (CRC; Stage III) and has been shown to improve survival. However, its use in patients with node-negative CRC (Stage II), which are approximately one-third of all cases, has been controversial and is not routinely recommended. Yet, up to 30% of Stage II patients relapse within 5 years of surgery.1 To date, there are no recommended pathological or molecular markers for predicting which Stage II patients are likely to relapse.2
For this reason, we have read with utmost interest the article by Andersen et al.3 The authors investigated the association between genomic alterations (in terms of copy-number variations) and risk of recurrence in patients with Stages II and III CRC and identified a copy-number loss on chromosome 16 (16p13.2) that was predictive of metastatic recurrence in microsatellite-stable (MSS) Stages II and III CRCs.3
We would like to contribute on the subject of CRC prognostic biomarkers by briefly reporting on our studies, in which we assessed the possibility of predicting recurrence for the most critical group of CRC patients, i.e., Stage II, by investigating the prognostic implications of promoter CpG island hypermethylation status, a common epigenetic alteration in sporadic CRC.4 The subset of sporadic cancers with widespread promoter methylation constitutes a distinct phenotype, often referred to as the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP or CIMP high),4 which has been associated with proximal colon location, microsatellite instability (MSI) and high frequency of v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutations.5 However, more than half of the tumors with high CpG island methylation are MSS, and it is still unclear whether these MSS-methylated tumors share the improved prognosis of MSI cancers.6 A marked controversy surrounds the prognostic implications of CIMP as some studies suggest an adverse effect of CIMP on survival, whereas others seem to downplay the prognostic value of CIMP or even question its favorable significance.7 These different views might be explained by differences in the populations studied or in the methodologies and in the marker panels used to determine CIMP status.
To evaluate whether changes in the methylation status of CpG islands of specific marker genes in MSS node-negative CRCs can predict occurrence of relapse, the methylation status of 42 early stage patients was investigated by examining promoter methylation of five CIMP-related markers.8 All the patients underwent surgical resection at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori di Milano in the period April 1998 to February 2007, and they either relapsed (with local or distant metastasis) within 5 years (23 patients, median time to relapse: 18 months, range 3–38) or remained relapse-free for at least 5 years after surgery (19 patients, median relapse-free time: 96 months, range 60–135). All the patients were MSS. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients, and the study was approved by the Institutional Review Board. The age at surgery ranged between 47 and 83 (median, 67) in relapsed patients, and between 30 and 83 in relapse-free patients (median, 65). Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh frozen specimens using the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit-Tissue Protocol (Qiagen, Chatsworth, CA). DNA was then subjected to bisulfite modification and methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction amplification; methylation changes were examined using the five classical CIMP-related markers, p16, MINT1, MINT2, MINT31 and hMLH1, as described in other studies.8
Methylation levels were stratified into three classes by the number of observed methylated loci (Nmet): low methylation (for Nmet less than or equal to 2), intermediate methylation (for Nmet equal to 3) and full methylation (for Nmet greater than 3). A comparison of methylation levels in relapsed and relapse-free patients was performed with the SAS software by using a logistic regression model adjusted by age (Version 9.2.; SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Our results suggest a trend of increasing number of methylated loci in relapse-free patients that was not observed in relapsed patients (Table 1). The predictive capability of this variable was rather satisfactory showing an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.73 (95% confidence interval: 0.58–0.88). Our finding is consistent with the observed better outcome for CIMP-high tumors across all the stages (I–IV)9 and with the recent finding that DNA methylation is lower in recurrent Stage III proximal CRC.10 These results emphasize the potential association of methylation levels at five CIMP-related loci with disease recurrence in MSS Stage II CRC. Methylation at these loci could be further investigated for its possible use as a prognostic variable in Stage II CRC to identify which patients are more likely to relapse and might benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. As this analysis was based on a small number of cases, this observation should be taken with caution and needs to be confirmed in larger sample sets.

DETROIT General Motors Co(GM.N) posted a surprisingly strong profit on Wednesday and said it was targeting a return to break-even levels in its European operations by mid-decade after a loss of as much as $1.8 billion in that region this year.
Shares of the automaker rose 4.9 percent to $24.42 in trading before the market opened.
"We still have a lot of work to do, especially in Europe," GM Chief Financial Officer Dan Ammann said in a statement.
GM's third-quarter net income attributable to common shareholders fell to $1.48 billion, or 89 cents a share, from $1.74 billion, or $1.03 a share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, GM earned 93 cents a share, far above the analysts' average estimate of 60 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Earnings in the company's North American and international units came in above expectations.
Revenue rose to $37.6 billion from $36.7 billion. Analysts had expected $35.7 billion.
GM said it expected a full-year operating loss of $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion in Europe, depending on the level of restructuring in the fourth quarter. Last year, it lost $747 million in the region.
The company, which sells in Europe largely under the Opel brand name, said it was targeting results there to be slightly better in 2013 than in 2012 and to reach break-even by mid-decade.
GM still sees the European economy as flat to slightly deteriorating. "We're not banking on a sharp turnaround ... at this point," Ammann told reporters on a conference call.
Opel has been a drag on GM's results, leading the automaker to push for changes at the European unit, which has lost a total of $16 billion over the past dozen years despite repeated rounds of job cuts. In the third quarter, GM Europe posted an operating loss of $478 million, in line with what analysts had expected.
GM said Vice Chairman Steve Girsky, who is leading the restructuring of Opel, will provide more details of the turnaround efforts there on a conference call with analysts later on Wednesday.
For the fourth quarter, GM said it expected operating earnings similar to or slightly better a year earlier.
This quarter could benefit from a reversal of a significant portion of a tax reserve, known as a valuation allowance, on U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets. At the end of September, those cumulative allowances totaled almost $39 billion combined, and eliminating some of that would reflect a confidence in the company's financial prospects.

Preserving basil
Freezing is the best option. Chop the basil, place it in ice cube trays and cover with water. Try to fill the cubes with plenty of basil so you don't have to use too much water. This works well for soups and stews because you can throw in a few cubes.
The second method is to place the basil in a food processor, pulse a few times to chop and then mix in oil. The basil will darken but will keep its flavor. You can throw the basil and the oil into a dish you're sautéing.
Finally, you can make pesto. Basil pesto freezes well. Put it in a resealable freezer bag and flatten it.

Temasek Holdings has bought over Olam at $2.23 per share and Olam stock is currently trading at $2.23. Different from other "buy-overs", Olam stock will not be delisted but will continue to trade on the Singapore Stocks Exchange. I believe the question on investors' minds is to hold or sell Olam stocks if they have Olam stocks currently. For investors who are interested in Olam stocks, the question on their minds will be whether to buy Olam stock as the thinking is that Olam stock price may go higher with Temasek Holdings as the owner of Olam.
For myself, I believe a stock is only as good as the owner. With Temasek Holdings now being the owner of Olam, I believe the appointment of the next CEO of Olam will be one of the roles of Temasek Holdings. With a majority of Temasek-linked companies like SMRT and NOL being helmed by former government scholars (SMRT is now helmed by Desmond Kuek who was former Chief-of-Defence and former Permanent Secretary of Environment and Water Resources and NOL is helmed by Ng Yat Chung Kuek who was former Chief-of-Defence and former Managing Director in Temasek), I believe the next CEO of Olam will be another government scholar.

America! THIS Is Your New TV Commercial
Via Discover America, official USA travel site. I see beautiful Gays and Muslims and Asians and African-Americans and Hispanics and…did we miss anybody?
Tears in the eyes, I guess.
The singer is Rosanne Cash, daughter of the legend Johnny (who is a real ad for America all by himself). You'll notice the spot is a bit New Orleans heavy, which is fine, I guess. The shot of the guy catching the hawk was cool.
But, I'm definitely the wrong misanthropic cuss to review this "Land of Dreams" hooey. It kinda makes me physically ill.
Let's get Barack Obama's and Mitt Romney's take on it.
Spot will start airing next month in the UK, Japan, and elsewhere.
Ad agency: JWT.
- Donald Trump says the shooting of NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin is evidence of high crime rates he believes will boost his support among black people in November's election.
- Facebook shifts to algorithms to decide which stories to highlight in its trending news section after allegations of liberal bias at the company.
- Protesters climbed Berlin's Brandenburg Gate to protest against refugees. About 1.1 million asylum-seekers arrived in Germany last year.

Sorry, this item sold. Have TheCatFarm make something just for you, or try these other items:
This large size feather flier is made with dark grey fleece and blue, purple, light grey, and brown feathers. I included a photo that shows the difference in size between a large flier and my usual size feather flier. The larger base means more catnip and there are twice as many feathers too. Its a great option for bigger kitties or for cats that love lots of feathers! The total length of this feather flier is 6.5 inches (16.51 cm).
I would like to thank my customer, Rebecca, for suggesting I make a larger size flier. :-)

"We stayed for a week and a great time. The home was large enough for our family of five and we felt we could have had a couple more people stay with us and still would not have felt cramped. We enjoyed going to the beach in the mornings and then coming home and enjoying the pool in the evenings. We utilized the grill on one occasion to cook up some Red Snapper that we had caught that day which was a nice convenience. Overall we had a great time adn this home and would recommend it to a friend to stay here."Guest: Vincent M. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: July 5, 2016View listing
"This house was exceptional. Quick walk to the beach, very nice pool, and the lower patio was perfect for lunch on a hot afternoon. Having the ability to use the beach chairs and beach toys with wagon was great as well. The 3rd floor loft bedroom is larger than expected, the pictures don't do it justice. It was big enough for both of my teen children to fit in. The house had everything we needed! The 1st floor bedrooms did get warm (and it could have just been us, and I think we are spoiled with our ceiling fan at home, which the downstairs bedroom did not have. However, pedestal fans were in the closet which helped. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and the price is very good for the area!

Learning Resources Pretend And Play Kitchen Set
Cook up a culinary cuisine of fun while indulging in rich language opportunities. This super-sized set provides all the kitchen essentials to help children fill the role of master chef while developing confidence and a strong sense of self. There are enough accessories to invite a friend over to serve as sous chef to add social interaction, negotiation, and sharing into play. The familiar cooking theme helps children develop pretend play skills and serves well to introduce new vocabulary. Cookware is just the right size for children to manage and the handles on the utensils give a good base for grasping, stirring, and serving.
By using the different utensils like the masher, ice cream scoop, or ladle, children strengthen different movements and muscles in their hands and arms needed for independence and daily living. Service for four lets children match, sort, and count while setting the table for real or imaginary friends. This bright, primary-colored set is made of plastic and can be washed with soap and water –extending the play to cleaning up while learning real responsibilities in the kitchen. It even includes a dish pan strainer for drip drying your dishes. For ages 3+.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
I purchased the 73 piece kitchen set from Learning Resources along with the 80 piece play food set from Learning Resources. This was to go with a KidKraft Deluxe Kitchen that Amazon had discounted down considerably. The giftee is a two-year old boy.
As others have noted, the colors of the kitchen set are extremely vibrant, the plastic is not so thick to be chunky, and it looks pretty durable. It's an extremely cute, little kitchen set.
The only thing that shocked me was the sizing scale used for the different pieces. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. For example:
- The ice cream scooper and dessert dishes were a decent enough size that we could use them for every day use. They are probably correct portion size for adults.
- The old-school juicer looks to be large and durable enough that an adult could also use it with small-to-medium oranges.
- The largest plate was smaller than the palm of my hand (guessing 2").
- The water pitcher is micro-sized comparatively and looks like it can hold 2 oz
If you get the Learning Resources play food set to go with it, you'll discover that you can't actually put most of the food on the plates or in the pots. The hotdog, hamburger and pizza all seemed to take up at least 2-3 dinner plates from the kitchen set. The fake spaghetti was big enough that it didn't fit in my smallest saucepan, let alone my son's kitchen set.
As for quality, I am impressed with this product. Although plastic, it does seem sturdy. My daughter's only had it for about 3 weeks, but she's rough on her toys, and so far so good with this one.
I had initially wanted realistic colored (e.g. stainless steel) pots & pans, since my daughter loves to watch me cook with our pots & pans. But the colors of this product are all primary and vibrant, which are more appealing to our tot. We love watching her take the pots and pans and "cook" pretend food, then serve them on her plates with utensils. She loves these toys. For some reason, she's become attached to the cookie dough roller and loves to roll pretend dough on our floor.
There's just so much variety to this product. It definitely keeps her busy and she's discovering new accessories all the time. Oh, there's also a plate stand, so your child can "wash & dry" their dishes and load them onto the stand. For the money, you get alot of bang for the buck.
While there are plenty of pieces in this kit, I don't know if it's worth buying the kit itself. For my own kids, I bought the pots and pans set separately, and it's great. I knew, though, that my brother and his wife had not bought their kids any dishes yet, so I wanted to get them both food and dishes at the same time.
As others have said, the plates are extremely small! I really don't understand the point of them. The timer was also not very good quality and was hard for the kids to use. I also didn't like that there are mugs, but no normal cups. I guess I think of mugs as something you drink coffee or other hot drinks out of, and regular cups are for juice or milk. I sat in their play room and played with them after the packages came, and they were super excited. I could tell, though, that the plates weren't really going to work. They'd take the learning resources food (great stuff, by the way), and put it on these dinky plates, and the food would be literally bigger than the plate!
What I did at my own home was go to the dollar store and buy cheap plastic plates, cups, and bowls (not the disposable kind, more like the kind for picnics.) I also bought a ketchup and mustard bottle, salt & pepper shaker, and any other various kitchen stuff that looked appropriate.Read more ›

Road crews busy with epic snow plowing project
Road crews on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the state line are making preparations to try to clear the streets of what's expected to be huge amount of snow and ice.
steve: Officers arrest obama-clinton dreamer-A 31-year-old man after early morning standoff in Los Indios.. A man threatened to kill himself Sunday in Los Indios, prompting a standoff with officers, according to police department records. At about 1 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to the 16000 block of South U.S. 281, according to police department records. When officers arrived, a woman claimed her husband, 31-year-old Rolando Lopez, pointed a gun at her, according to police department records. The woman said Lopez threatened to kill her and fired the weapon in the air. Lopez threatened to kill himself and anyone who entered the home, according to police department records. The Cameron County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Border Patrol responded to assist Los Indios police. Officers contacted Lopez's father, who convinced him to exit the home without hurting anyone, said Los Indios police Chief Jose De La Rosa. Officers charged Lopez with aggravated assault-family violence, a second-degree felony; terroristic threat, a Class A misdemeanor; and discharging a firearm within city limits, a Class C misdemeanor.

A man has been jailed for an assault outside a Bromley nightclub that left his victim in a critical condition.
Peter Reeves, 35, from Sheerness in Kent, appeared at Croydon Crown Court on March 3 and was put away for six years and nine months after pleading guilty to GBH with intent.
The court heard how in the early hours of Sunday, September 8, Reeves and another man were involved in an argument at the Bedrock club on Masons Hill.
Outside, Reeves gave the 40-year-old clubber serious head injuries and a broken jaw, leaving him in a critical condition at a south London hospital.
Reeves was arrested in Maidstone on September 27 and later charged. He was due to stand trial but changed his plea before the jury was sworn in.

Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Commissioner Bob Martineau announces the lifting of a water contact advisory of the Little Pigeon River, downstream of Sevierville in Sevier County.
Water contact advisories have also been lifted for several small tributaries to the West Prong of the Little Pigeon, including Gnatty Branch, Baskins Creek, King Branch, Roaring Fork and Holy Branch. The remaining water contact advisories on the West Prong Little Pigeon River, plus Dudley Creek and Beech Creek, will remain in place while additional pathogen testing is performed during the summer of 2014.
"I am pleased to announce that due to the efforts of many people in Sevier County, including state, county, municipal governments and the National Park Service, many of the long-standing water quality issues that led to the original advisory have been resolved," Mr. Martineau said. "As a result, water quality is greatly improved and the department no longer considers the contact warnings to be necessary. Progress continues on streams that need additional improvement."
The Tennessee Water Quality Control Act requires that the department post signs and inform the public when bacteria in water or contaminants in sediment or fish tissue cause public heath to be unduly at risk from exposure. In 1993, elevated fecal coliform levels were found in the Little Pigeon River downstream of Sevierville, the West Prong Little Pigeon downstream of Gatlinburg and within Pigeon Forge, plus multiple tributaries. The sources of the bacteria were thought to be, depending on the location, overflows from municipal sewage treatment facilities and collection systems, failing, improperly-sited and concentrated septic tanks and the direct connection of household wastewater to streams.
Once these problems were identified, local city and county officials took the lead in identifying and resolving problem areas. The City of Sevierville upgraded their sewage treatment plant and moved the outfall from the Little Pigeon River to the French Broad River, a much larger body of water. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg worked to locate and eliminate improper sewer connections and leaks from pipes. State and county officials walked streams to look for "straight pipes" of household wastes into streams and to spot septic tanks in need of rehabilitation.
Since some impacted portions of the West Prong and its tributaries were within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the National Park Service was very active in the process to plan and implement the monitoring of pathogen levels. With assistance from the City of Gatlinburg, the Park Service worked with the Dudley Creek Stable concessionaire to install a new wash rack for the horses and connect it to the Gatlinburg sewer system. In addition, they moved a one-mile section of riding trail away from Duds Branch.
An event will be held April 29, at 4:30 p.m. in Sevierville to celebrate the lifting of the water contact advisories. The event, which will be attended by Commissioner Martineau and local officials from Sevier County, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the National Park Service, will be held at the Sevier County Fairgrounds in Sevierville. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the red barn located at the fairgrounds.

Posted on 07/31/2008 10:46:50 AM PDT by BGHater
Volunteers working in Northumberland and Durham have unearthed a remarkable collection of intricate rock art formations dating back 5,000 years.
Over 100 of the extraordinary Neolithic carvings of concentric circles, interlocking rings and hollowed cups were uncovered in the region by a team of specially trained volunteers working on a four-year English Heritage backed project called the Northumberland and Durham Rock Art Project (NADRAP). Their findings have now been recorded and published online via a website called Englands Rock Art (ERA), which was launched today, Thursday July 3 2008, at

One of the most interesting new discoveries is a large and elaborately carved panel on Barningham Moor, Co. Durham. The flat sandstone panel features numerous complex abstract carvings interlocking channels and hollowed cups with surrounding circles. Our prehistoric ancestors used stone tools to carve these mysterious symbols and the peck marks are still visible on the Barningham panel. Richard Stroud, one of the specially-trained volunteers involved in the project and part of the team which discovered the Barningham carvings, explained: We expected to discover just one or two simple carvings. Instead we found a breathtaking panel, probably one of the most complex discovered in County Durham.

There is a gulf of time and civilisation between the society that carved this stone and ours, added Richard, "its true meaning is something well possibly never understand. I am proud that our work has helped preserve this fragile link to our ancestors. Elsewhere the project uncovered a range of impressive and large-scale works that included patterned rock carvings with perfectly imprinted circles that would have taken an astounding level of skill and a lot of time to complete. The volunteers used low impact methods to carefully reveal these examples of rock art, which they then captured via stereo-photographs (pairs of photographs) using low cost 5mpixel resolution digital cameras.

Images were then used to create virtual 3D representations accurate to within 1-3mm that can be moved and rotated on a computer screen to allow detailed analysis of the carvings from all angles.
As well as allowing a detailed analysis of the rock art formations, the technique requires no direct contact with the rock surface and is less harmful than some other traditional recording methods. Our volunteer recorders have worked alongside experts in the field to develop new techniques to produce stunning 3- dimensional computer models of rock art for display, said Sara Rushton, Northumberland County Archaeologist and manager of the Project. These models can be manipulated to show some carvings which are now almost completely invisible to the naked eye and will be a fantastic tool for managing these ancient sites for the future.

The practice of carvings rocks flourished during the Neolithic period (about 4,000 to 6,000 years ago). There are many theories as to what rock art carvings mean. Some experts believe they may have played a role in fire, feastings and offering activities, or been used as signposts, or to mark territory. Others point to a spiritual significance. For hunter-gatherer communities high mountains or seashores were often considered the domain of supernatural ancestors and the vast majority of rock art is found in these areas. Today, many carvings have been lost to natural erosion and human activities such as quarrying and field clearance. However, around 2,500 rock art panels have been recorded to date in England and further examples almost certainly await discovery. English Heritage is hoping the pioneering work undertaken as part of NADRAP will be continued in other counties to create a nationwide record of this link with our prehistoric past.

The British landscape is thickly scattered with these fascinating and enigmatic works of ancient art, said Edward Impey, Director of Research and Standards at English Heritage.
The online record of the Northumberland and Durham examples will serve as the starting point for a national survey, and, we hope, help us understand their meaning and lead to the discovery of others.

Cave Circles?................
It's a good thing England isn't a Muslim country (yet). They'd be blown up.
This was a time before spray paint made it easier.
Ain't no 'shrooms did that!............
The first one could be a map.
Amazing to me...supposedly these folk had to spend hours looking for food to survive, working from sun to sun.I know there are some antropologists who insist that you can subsist on a few hours of work per day in a hunting/gathering culture. Not sure I believe that....look at how difficult non-mechanized farming is.
But they still had time to peck away at a rock with a rock. Day after day. This also says these areas must have been fairly permanent living places [villages?] because of the length of time such carvings would take. Of course they could have been revisited year after year, I suppose.
Why? Why would you waste the time? Tap a rock with a rock, even over and over and the results are pretty poor...somehow some group persisted even though the rewards [payoff] were pretty slim.
Look at it from the rear. It's a 'shroom!
It has virtually invisible bands of red ochre with white dots!
Undoubtedly knowledge of the use of amanita muscaria disappeared in Egypt as the climate continued to "warm" and "dry", but when the limestone mining started people still had a sense of veneration for this stone.
The contemporary stones found in UK as shown in this article are all 'shrooms!
I think those were the artifacts described by Prof. Jones!
Through Moria.
Thanks BGHater. These pics look familiar, and may have been a topic before, but they're worth a look (or another) regardless.

They weren't farmers. What's more, it could have been older members of the tribe would couldn't hunt/gather as efficiently who made these carvings. They also could have been made by the tribal shaman, who would have had more time on his hands.

The more sophisticated religions had not yet been invented, and people have been expressing themselves through spiritual art as long as they've been people.
Northumberland Mysterious Rock Circles?
How the heck did these ancients produce this level of art without government subsidies?
Not yet sure if these are 'new' ones from the ones found. I had no idea there were so many carvings up there along the border.
They look like Led Zeppelin album covers.
That was my thought. Tribal territories ...

Don't play video games do, ya?
They're beautiful. Thanks!
They might very well have been government subsidized, in the sense that the chief told them "You guys stay here and carve that rock. The other guys will go hunting and gathering and will share some with you tonight."
But then I don't have to find roots, twigs and berries to eat daily either.
Good points...I know they weren't farmers. Maybe I am wrong but it seems that h&g would be more arduous
than farming, which is my point.
Otherwise, why the rush to embrace farming? A steady food supply[for the most part]but harder work?
But the part about the elderly or shamans is good. Hadn't thought of that.
As you said, a steady food supply. Cities aren't even possible without farming. It also enables you to accumulate wealth and a large population.
I don't want to work
I want to bang on these rocks all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on these rockss all day

Seriously, stone hedge is a series of concentric rings. This repeats the pattern on smaller scale. Uneducated guess that they are probably a calendar marking migrations or seasons mixed with the spiritual and earth renewal ceremonies of some sort.
Almost all of them seem to be circles but with some sort of break with a "stick" kind of like a lolly pop. Reminds me of a candle with the circles being the flame. The "stick" seems to become the small middle circle.
Prehistoric crop circles?
"These folk had to spend hours looking for food to survive."
I recall reading about a study of modern hunter/gatherer cultures, and I think each person spent about 27 hours a week hunting and gathering. Of course, then there was cleaning, cooking, sewing, and childcare, but since women did most of that, maybe it doesn't count.

A federal lawsuit claims inmates at two county lockups on Long Island are forced to contend with overflowing sewage, chronic overcrowding, rodent and insect infestations, pervasive mold and rust and other problems.
The New York Civil Liberties Union filed the suit against Suffolk County jail officials Thursday in U.S. District Court in Central Islip.
A spokeswoman for the county did not immediately respond to a request for comment.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3″ title="Also read"]
Attorney Daniel Laguardia says 100 detainees had filed separate lawsuits complaining about conditions but Thursday's action consolidates them.
Besides complaints about raw sewage, the suit cites decrepit showers covered in mold and plumbing covered in rust. It also claims there have been vermin infestations and unsanitary kitchens and dining areas.
The two jails are in Riverhead and Yaphank.

Rave Reviews Book Club's Back-To-School Book & Blog Party ~ Author Wendy Scott https://t.co/hUGY2prDY8
News and Updates
Raven's Peak reached 80 reviews now, and is at more than 70 four and five-star reviews! It's right where I wanted it to be before releasing the next book in the series, and now that Raven's Fall is almost ready to go I'm really excited about what comes next.
I just received the IndieReader review back from them a few minutes ago, and they gave it a five-star rating! It is officially IndieReader approved.
I haven't had any news about Second Chances in a while, so it's nice to finally be able to let everyone know that it is being turned into an audiobook! It took a really long time to find the right person to read it, so now the project should get underway really fast.
Today, I'll be giving away:
- $10 Amazon Gift Card
- Paperback Copy of Raven's Peak
- E-Book Copy of Raven's Peak
All you have to do is leave a comment!
Raven's Fall is nearly here, and in only a few short weeks it'll be on Amazon for pre-order! It's been hectic wrapping it up and finalizing everything, and now it's time to start turning toward other works in progress.
Raven's Peak got its fiftieth 5-Star review!
Artwork is complete on the second book in the World on Fire series, and the book itself it mostly finished. It is currently sitting around 70,000 words, which is probably where it's going to end up. I'm working on getting it finalized now.
Raven's Peak by Lincoln Cole is a supernatural thriller that quickens your heartbeat and doesn't stop building suspense until the final page.
Still not even to that 30 day mark and already at 50 reviews! It's super cool, got the last one yesterday!
Hey, everyone! This post is a call for action! I would love if anyone would be willing to share and like this post so it can hopefully be next weeks Pitch Perfect Pick!
I'm hard at work on the sequel to Raven's Peak, having jumped from 9,500 words to 28,000 in only a handful of days.
Raven's Peak has been out for one week now, and I thought I would give you a quick sense of how it's been doing since being published. I don't know much about the actual numbers because Amazon sees all of the charts and information. Mine is purely guesswork.
Raven's Peak has been out for almost one week now, and it's making its rounds on a lot of different blogs and features. Here is just a sampling of places it is being posted. Today only, a lot of these blogs are hosting a book giveaway that ends at midnight!
I received a book review from N.N. Light yesterday that is currently making the rounds. So far I've gotten quite a few reviews and I'm hoping to keep pushing forward further into the launch as they trickle in.
I just got back a review from BookViral for Raven's Peak, and it was a really nice and positive review!
We took a trip to the Smokies for the long weekend and had a really good time. The coolest thing is that Raven's Peak is sort of set there (I intentionally didn't specify beyond 'the mountains' to keep it vague). It was the perfect vacation for the book launch!
Raven's Peak is officially out! It's up for sale and free on Kindle Unlimited, so anyone who hasn't preordered a copy can pick one up directly now!
Second Chances won the Literary Classics Book Award for Cultural Issues in their 2016 competition! That is the second year in a row that my books won something in the competition, so hopefully Raven's Peak can continue that trend next year!
All Works by Lincoln Cole
A quiet little mountain town is hiding a big problem. When the townsfolk of Raven's Peak start acting crazy, Abigail Dressler is called upon to find out what is happening. She uncovers a demonic threat unlike any she's ever faced and finds herself in a fight just to stay alive.
She rescues Haatim Arison from a terrifying fate and discovers that he has a family legacy in the supernatural that he knows nothing about. Now she's forced to protect him, which is easy, and also trust him if she wants to save the townsfolk of Raven's Peak. Trust, however, is considerably more difficult for someone who grew up living on the knife's edge of danger.
Can they discover the cause of the town's insanity and put a stop to it before it is too late?
Abigail was arrested by the Council, and now she's awaiting trial for the decisions she made leading up to and culminating in the events of Raven's Peak. She is restless while she waits for answers and knows that there is a real threat outside their walls plotting to bring them down.
Meanwhile, Haatim is getting a crash course in this world he knew nothing about and finding out that nothing is as it seems. He's being taught how to survive, but will it be enough?
There are dark clouds on the horizon and it is coming whether they are prepared or not. Will they be able to weather this storm?
Arthur Vangeest has been hunting a cult known as the Ninth Circle for months and finally located their base of operations, but something goes terribly wrong. Someone he trusts betrays him and his family is murdered.
Now he isn't sure if there is anything left to live for. But, when he exacts his revenge on the people the hurt him, he finds a new reason to stay alive.
This short story takes place several years before the events of Raven's Peak and details how Arthur came across Abigail, and how she gave him something new to live for.
A Galactic Space Opera, Graveyard of Empires builds the world and sets the stage for an enormous conflict between planets and Empires. Argus Wade was born into the Ministry, an archaic and barbaric religion that spans the entire galaxy, and knew from an early age that he was different. The threat of death, and worse, loomed over him because of his special gifts.
When he tries to protect his daughter from this fate by hiding her, his worst fears are realized as the Ministry begins tightening the noose. If they discover that she is his child, or worse that he kept her from them, both of their lives will be at risk.
Meanwhile, the galaxy is facing a new conflict in the outer reaches. A new rebellion is forming to tear down the established government. Battle lines are being drawn and everyone is choosing sides. But, they are all going to find out that the cost of war is higher than anyone could have anticipated...
Things are heating up in the galaxy as the Union tries to find an edge in its conflict with the Republic. The war is becoming more of a reality every day: terrorism and riots are cropping up as the disenfranchised take matters into their own hands. Jayson finds himself in a struggle to align his morals with his duty and is on the verge of making an irreversible decision. Billions of lives are at stake in the coming conflict, but right now it's anyone's game to win.
Nichole, a young intern at a prestigious law firm, is caught in a tough position. She is juggling too many responsibilities as her world falls apart around her. After her mother goes missing while performing an errand, Nichole is left picking up the pieces of her shattered life and taking care of her younger siblings. She isn't sure where she can turn to for help, and she is facing a lot of harsh realities about how life works and how much prejudice can hold her back.
Richard is a lawyer who lost his identity in corporate law. He wants to help Nichole through this heartbreaking situation, but he makes mistakes and loses her trust. He discovers that he's been doing the right things for the wrong reasons for a long time and it has cost him a lot. Everything begins to fall apart as he realizes he's swept problems under the rug for so long he might no longer be able to fix them.
After meeting an alcoholic who is struggling to take control of his life, Richard wakes up to just how far off-course his life has become and attempts to right it. He asks Nichole for a second chance to help her overcome her obstacles, and he hopes it isn't too late.
Can Nichole and Richard overcome their differences and get a Second Chance?
A novel about overcoming our own weaknesses when it doesn't feel like there is anything left to live for, Ripples through Time tells the story of Calvin Greenwood. A family man in his eighties, Calvin is alone for the first time in over sixty years. His wife, Emily, recently passed away and he isn't taking her death well. He doesn't remember how to be alone, and he doesn't know if he can forgive himself for the mistakes he made.
Edward, a long time family friend, comes to check on him during this time of need. Edward understands just how dangerous things are for Calvin, and he's hoping to talk him out of doing the unthinkable. He just hopes he isn't too late to help.
Help, however, isn't the easiest thing to give, and it can be even more difficult to accept....
Love, loss, and forgiveness weave inextricably into this human tale of friendship and hope.
When mercenaries kidnap two drone operators and steal the software that can control drones anywhere in the world, Kate Allison is called to action to try and stop them before they can use the drones against civilians. Kate is a strong woman with a sordid history who is trying to make up for past mistakes.
She teams up with the unlikeliest of partners in her mission: Lyle Goldman, the application developer who designed the drone software. He's her only hope of finding a way to shut down the mercenaries and figure out who is behind the attack. Unfortunately, Lyle is also being hunted by the FBI in connection with the stolen software and is being framed for the crime.
Can they stop this attack and clear Lyle's name before it is too late?
This is a collection of stories by Lincoln Cole written throughout his life. Some of it was written while he was still developing his style, and some of the stories are attempts at different genres and branching out to try something new. It is a compilation of many works submitted to magazines or services throughout the years.
The first story is a visionary world with steampunk themes, corporations battling under cover of darkness to try and run the streets. Later in the collection there is a dystopian future where the remaining few have to choose who lives and who dies as the Earth becomes unable to support life. Another work satirizes modern technology and how easy it is to get control of hacking technology.
Throughout the collection some of the works are from Lincoln Cole beginning his journey as a writer putting words to paper.

Rave Reviews
Raven's Peak
"The novel juggles multiple plot threads with ease. Both Abigail and Haatim are well developed with strong voices--even Arthur, who appears in the prologue stands out. As the book heads towards it's rousing conclusion, readers will be left wanting more."
"I can confidently give this book my highest recommendation, and will certainly keep my eyes peeled for the second book in this incredibly promising series. Author Lincoln Cole, I hope you write fast!"
"The chills and thrills are pitched just right, to cause a tingling at the nape of the neck, taking time to maintain suspense whilst fully sculpting his darkest moments for maximum impact."
Second Chances
"The result is a vivid saga of racial and social situations that's highly recommended for readers seeking a story that revolves around changing hearts and minds and positive character growth."
"Lincoln Cole offers a heart-rending perspective into the struggles realized by those who are oppressed by prejudice and bias."
"The novel manages to be both entertaining and eye-opening. It will make you feel more socially aware and connected by book's end"
"This novel is a great read and I would recommend five out of five stars. Very well written book. I loved it!"
"Cole spins an intricate tale of love, loss, injustice, addiction, and heartbreak, captivating me from the first page until the very last sentence."
