OWL - Ontology Web Language
The Ontology Web Language (OWL) is a set of markup languages which are designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information instead of just presenting information to humans.
The OWL ontology describe the hierarchical organization of ideas in a domain, in a way that can be parsed and understood by software. OWL has more facilities for expressing meaning and semantics than XML, RDF, and RDF-S, and thus OWL goes beyond these languages in its ability to represent machine interpretable content on the Web.
OWL is part of the W3C recommendations related to the Semantic Web.

Old mobile estates, very organized and not a personal touch anywhere. The spots are right on top of one another and when you open your door you have 2' before the 5'tall bushes. Very unlevel. Swim pool & child area. Ok for passing through. - JerryLyn

Park was closed when we arrived on Sunday evening. Map showed where sites were located. Most were uneven - could not find a level site but opted for one that slanted down so we could use our jacks to level the trailer. - Larry & Judy

Large park with a mix of mobile homes and RVs. RV parking is mostly on a large asphalt lot; individual slots are rather narrow. It's easy getting in and out of the park, but longer rigs will need to be careful in the parking area. - MiketheTexan

The State has done lots of work on the park. The entrance/exit have been widened for easy enter/exit. There are no sewer hookups. The park is subject to flooding during hard, long rains. Even though the park is near an interstate we heard very little traffic noise. - Larrydp

Its scenic, with lots of trees and a small pond, the price is right, and its convenient to the city, but that's about it. When checking in, we were given a card with our site number and instructions the campground was 2 miles down the winding, narrow road. No map, nothing else. The entry is tight, the roads are narrow, and only one dumpster, a fair walk away. Our site was okay although fairly narrow. It was level and utilities easy to reach.The trees were too thick to get satellite, but there were several TV stations obtained over the air. When leaving, the gate attendants had to come out to guide us forward to get the exit gate to activate, as we could not see the bar from the driver's seat. Not worth returning to. - starwind

This is a very decent overnight stop with easy on/off access to I-55. It has mostly full time residents, but there is a large area in the center with pull-through sites for transients. Most sites have a tree, but I had no trouble getting a satellite signal. The water pressure was good and the free WiFi was adequate. There is no cable. It is by no means a resort and is located behind a shopping center. The shopping center has several restaurants and other businesses, but no grocery market. At the front of the shopping center is a gas station with easy access to gas and diesel. I would stay here again if I was passing through this area. - RVerMJ

Almost the entire campground is permanent people, some not so neatly set up. Our site was cement but it was broken in spots and very narrow. The campground itself is not well maintained and there was a smell of sewage in the air. It was at this campground that our coach got infested with ants. To top it off, there is a train that comes thru several times during the night...pretty close and pretty loud. - Ganttgayle

Not impressed with this rv park. What Swinging Bridge? We just stayed one night and I do not think we would go back. Tree branches should have been cut back. The park was not well cared for. It did have a pool which was nice and clean. - tumbleweed south

This was a small park with mostly permanent campers. The spot we had was very shady and hard to level. There were really only 3 sites for overnighters. Had anyone gotten the site next to us it would have been too close. The walk through the park was nice. There was little else to do, although the day use area had plenty of space for playing. We stayed two nights but one would be better. The only place to walk is on a county road which was not busy thankfully. It was very quiet and the tent sites were a good ways from the bathrooms. - winnie1

This park is very quiet, we were the only ones there the two days we stayed here. The entire park is very shady which helps with the heat, but leaves, limbs and sticky tree droppings fell on our truck/rv. The park is situated on the side of a hill, so the sites were not level, and all dirt and gravel. We were in site 2 which seemed more level than the others, but there were a lot of roots to contend with. The pavilion/picnic area was large and well maintained, but the sites were in desperate need of attention. It was hard to even locate the sites. We had no problems with any of the hookups. All worked good. Their website says 20 amp, but they do have 30 amp. We would not recommend this park, especially if it is raining, has rained, or looks like rain. Keep driving. - robcarmcelwee

This is a quiet, shaded campground associated with the attached Petrified Forest. Only one or two sites would accommodate our 40 foot 5th wheel, but they were nice. Very friendly and helpful staff. It was very peaceful here. It was good for an overnight or if you are visiting the Petrified Forest. There is lots of room for kids to run or ride bikes, but there are no activities or amenities for them. - grizzlybear

Better than most really urban camps. Set in forest of large pines, it is shady everywhere. Most of the sites have very long term residents. Interior roads are paved but broken many places by tree roots. Sites are packed closely. All sites have concrete pads. We were in a newer section by the lake with a view that was exceptional. WiFi was based on the office and had no reliability for those of us in the rear slips. We stayed a week and would do it again. - Vdsavell

We stayed at Timberlake resort one night in December 2015 in our 34 foot fifth wheel. We arrived after dark, so it was a bit tricky to find the park and also to find an open site. Our site was a back-in, which was no problem, even after dark. Because it was dark when we arrived and very early when we left, we didn't really experience the campground. It was fine for our overnight stay. The campground was an estimated 8 to 10 miles from interstate 55. Pets are welcome. Our site was right by the reservoir. - campers5350

Arrived during the heavy rains/ flooding and was a bit concerned about parking in a grass field. We stopped the tandems on what appeared to be rocks and we had no trouble leaving the next morning. We did leave ruts in the grass. The beautiful lake was filled to capacity and was dumping over the access road... they do mark the road edges with small flagging so it was easy to see. For an overnight stay, you will most likely be in an open area. - cherib

Askews was a little slice of heaven after a long day on I-20. Owners were wonderful, so friendly and helpful. The whole property is woodland with two lakes full of fish and ducks.

Our second stay here. Nice park. Lake. Level sites. Right on US49. No one in office - called number and left message. Picked an open site. Owner contacted later. Some long-term, but had 6-8 slots for over-night; park is clean and neat. Hookups all in good repair. Good roads. Southbound on US49, must go quarter mile south and do U-turn. Leaving in AM - southbound - go 50 yards north and do U-turn. Would stay here again. - jtids

This is a very nice campground for a one-or two-night stay. You can only drive into the campground from the northbound lanes of U.S. 49. If you are going southbound, you go past it a short way and then there is a place to u-turn and go back. It is very well-marked.
The campground is on a small lake. The sites are gravel and dirt, long enough that we didn't need to disconnect, and reasonable level. The owner is very pleasant. It was hot and humid when we were there so we couldn't go out and enjoy the lake. There is a laundry but it is locked so we were unable to use it.
There are quite a few permanent residents but the park is kept clean and seems to be well-run. It was easy enough to get in and out. - Pull Toy

Very friendly staff. MANY full-timers, and it appears some of them have been there for decades. That said, there didn't seem to be any favorites by the staff, nor intimidation of short-term visitors. Dusty. Grass is kept mowed. Amenities are nice, clean, well-maintained, but of older design. Water pressure in the men's shower was very strong. Sites and roads are gravel, but level. Showers/restrooms/laundry are NOT a short walk from the camper sites. There is also a nice playground for children, but it's also a hike from most campsites. It's named Movietown because several movies (e.g. A Time To Kill, O Brother Where Art Thou?, etc.) were filmed at least in part in the Canton area, and many support staff trailer'd at this RV park (wardrobe, makeup, props, etc.). Even the owner had a bit part in one of the movies according to the park manager. - Rokitman

This park has absolutely no trees. All the sites are very unlevel and no grass. There are mostly people who live here year round and have lots and lots of junk outside their trailers. Trailers have air conditioners sticking out of them. They even have pet roosters (that management knows about.) I will not be staying here again. - rascal12

Nice facility but a really lackadaisical staff with few customer service skills. They will not take reservations, fine, but when we called just to see if a site might be available, she says, "I don't have my book in front of me but it should be no problem." When we got there it was, "Whoops, I forgot that a Holiday Rambler Rally had booked all of the sites for this week. Oh, you can drive around and see if someone might have left." They had no idea who was there and who wasn't, and left it up to us to find out! We ended up in an uneven field with 20amp and water only. They also have no dump station. Make sure to ask them to check "the book" when you call. I did look it over, and it is a nice facility if you can get a site. - Adirondack Jack

I-55, Exit 119. Easy access and a short distance from the interstate but there's no signage leading to the park. Wide and long concrete pads, mostly level and no trees. Some of the concrete pads are broken up a bit. Sewer connections are not in good shape. Water and electric was fine. This is not an RV park but rather an area with full hookups for the event center. The center was hosting a rodeo and they had quite a few large horse trailers camped at the time of our stay. The place is rustic with no amenities but OK for an overnight stay. Restaurants and a very nice Wal-Mart are located 10 miles south at Exit 108. AT&T had a good connection. - Full_Timer

Kim Kardashian won't stay as 'Kardashian' for long
By: Shekhar Hooli
Sources claim that the reality TV actress' mother Kris Jenner thinks that she should keep her maiden name. But Kim is likely to go against her wish and take Kris Humphries' last name. "I don't think she should take his name and be Kim Humphries. I think she needs to be Kim Kardashian because she's worked so hard to get where she is," the PopEater quotes Kris as saying.
However, Kim and her fiance Kris have already planned to have a baby together. Sources claim that Kim is in a hurry for kids because she thinks that she would have at least one or two kids by now. Even Kris loves kids and does not see any reason to wait.

I generally try to see how high I can play, or I'll try sight reading something to get into the mood for practicing. Sometimes I'll even try playing a song from my ipod on my trumpet.

if i'm having trouble getting in the mood to play i'll typically put on some christian scott or royal crown revue and then pick up a book for a half hour. after that i usually want to practice for an hour or so. for some reason listening to superior players gets me in the mood.

whenever I lack motivation I turn on a recording of Sergei, Woody Shaw, Wynton, Maurice, Ed, Cassone, Burns, Cat Anderson, Yo-Yo-Ma, etc etc etc....
that usually snaps me out of my funk and I get back to work more excited than ever!
Though it may sound boring, I practice theory. I take modes and play a solo based on the scale. It gets me motivated because I know that I can play, it very rewarding to play something of your own.
My motivation is not wanting to make a fool of myself in public.
I think this dates from the time when I was soprano cornet player in a championship section brass band.
Living in an exposed position like that brought home to me the potential for personal embarrassment.

Seven years after the conclusion of the High Druid of Shannara trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks at last revisits one of the most popular eras in the legendary epic fantasy series that has spellbound readers for more than three decades.
Tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. The dwindling Druid order is threatened with extinction. A sinister politician has used treachery and murder to rise as prime minister of the mighty Federation. Meanwhile, poring through a long-forgotten diary, the young Druid Aphenglow Elessedil has stumbled upon the secret account of an Elven girl's heartbreak and the shocking truth about the vanished Elfstones, which once warded the lands and kept evil at bay. But never has a little knowledge been so very dangerous—as Aphenglow quickly learns when she's set upon by assassins. Yet there can be no turning back from the road to which fate has steered her. Whoever captures the Elfstones and their untold powers will surely hold the advantage in the devastating clash to come.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Terry Brooks's Bloodfire Quest.
"I can't even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks's books I've read (and reread) over the years. From Shannara to Landover, his work was a huge part of my childhood."—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
"Shannara was one of my favorite fictional worlds growing up, and I look forward to many return trips."—Karen Russell, New York Times bestselling author of Swamplandia!
"If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle."—Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of the Demon Cycle series

I live Terry Brooks. I've read every book. Some more then once.. But his last few books have been unimaginative and frankly a repetition of all his old themes and story lines. And the rushed nature of the multiple storylines makes it difficult to connect with the characters. Please Mr Brooks. Explore new ground versus traversing the same old stomping grounds.by Ashoka on March 31, 2016

Both online and offline gameplay is affected for some titles, Sony is looking into it
The bad news is that owners of older Playstation 3 units may find themselves unable to play a variety of games due to a bug in the console firmware or software. The good news is that Sony is on top of the problem and working towards a solution.
Jeff Rubenstein, Sony's Social Media Manager posted an official blog yesterday night, stating:
We're aware that many of you are having difficulty connecting to the PlayStation Network this evening.
Scarily determined to live up to the PlayStation 3's new "It Only Does Everything" slogan, Sony is touting the ability to order Papa John's pizza direct from the console, complete with a dedicated Papa John's button on the system's internet browser homepage. "Hungry? Need something to eat?" asks a mass mailing to members of the PlayStation Network, explaining that at long last "you can jump over to your PlayStation 3 browser between epic battles and high-speed races to get a hot delicious pizza delivered to your door... all this while never having to leave the comfort of your PS3 system."
"Not wanting to go into a video rental store to try out the latest games? Now the movie rental kiosk Redbox is testing out game rentals. According to InsideRedbox, rental kiosks are now being tested in western U.S. markets such as Reno, NV and Salt Lake City, UT. Selection thus far appears to be slim, but it is spread across games for PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii."

What is the receivables factoring
Versus The Actual Real
One of the most common mistakes clients and their advisors make regarding account receivable factoring company is in miscalculating the interest cost of their program. Having made the calculation error, the client mistakenly believes the cost to be double digits and has an emotional response as if being cheated, Gee, thats 18 percent a year. Id never do that (youre cheating me). Feeling that he is being treated unfairly, the client dismisses a potentially valuable accounts receivable factoring finance option.
Clients need to have a clear understanding of what accounts receivables factoring is and then to understand why its used, what account receivable factor services are provided, and finally, what the real accounts receivable factoring companycost is. invoice factoring and account receivable factoring servicesThe basics of account receivables factoring are quite simple: The client gives the receivables factoring
company his accounts receivable. The receivable factoring company advances funds against that paper then remits the balance of the money, less fees, when the receivable is paid by the customer. Understanding some of the complexities of business receivable factoring , however, enables you to better analyze its value.
Compare account receivable factoring to the following real estate example. Assume that the client owns a strip mall, a dozen or so shops in a small shopping center, and goes to the account receivable financing bank for a $2,000,000 mortgage on the property. The bank looks at the account receivable finance financial statement of the mall and sets a mortgage based on the propertys receivable financing income stream, real estate location, and other considerations regarding the propertys general condition. Then the account receivable financing bank reviews the locations information and finds that the tenant files are in poor order, credit checks on the tenants are mostly missing, and postings to the rent roster are late and frequently inaccurate.
What is receivables factoring ?
In its simplest form, business factoring invoice is the purchase and sale of a companys accounts receivable (invoices) at an amount less than (a discount of) the face value. (Example: If the credit factoring discount is 3 percent, the invoice is being purchased for 97 cents on the dollar). This allows a company to convert its dormant assets or invoices into useable cash flow. It is not a loan.

The charges brought recently against prominent Chinese lawyer, Mr Pu Zhiqiang, who has already spent more than a year in police custody since attending a small private gathering to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square events, raise serious questions of consistency with China's constitutional guarantees of freedom of assembly, opinion and expression.
The Chinese Authorities should guarantee Mr Pu Zhiqiang's right to a fair trial and fully respect his defence rights, in line with China's international human rights commitments and the reforms it has announced to promote and deepen the rule of law. Foreign embassies should be permitted to observe his trial and Pu Zhiqiang should also be given adequate medical treatment.

Inspiring Professionals in Transition
to a Freedom-Preneur
The industrial age is fading away, and a new revolution is taking its place. "Job creation is a false idol. The future is about gigs and assets and art and an ever-shifting series of partnerships and projects. It will change the fabric of our society along the way."
The real Secret to achieving your goals (and getting rich if that is your goal), is to write your Definite Major Purpose in very clear descriptive terms involving as many of your senses as possible so that you create a strong vision and feeling in the present tense for what it will be like when you complete your goal. Then you must maintain this vision in the front of your mind whenever you are working toward your goals. When you create a CLEAR MENTAL PICTURE of your goal, with definitive purpose and ACTION in FAITH, you will reach your goal; you will get rich, according to Wallace D. Wattles in "The Science of Getting Rich" which is a a great companion to Napoleon Hill's work in "Think and Grow Rich" from which these principles are taken.
Here are five things that you have learned at your corporate job and probably do well without thinking a lot about them and now they will serve you very well in your new role as an online entrepreneur.
Turns out, you are better off than you think.
Positive mental attitude (PMA) is the right mental attitude in all circumstances. Success attracts more success while failure attracts more failure.
Success Principle 7: Positive Mental Attitude in my Series details Napoleon Hill's 17 Key principles of Achievement Success from his research described in the book "Think and Grow Rich".
Developing and establishing positive habits leads to peace of mind, health and financial security. Napoleon Hill's 17th Success Principle, Cosmic Habitforce explains that you are where you are because of your established habits and thoughts and deeds. However, if you are not satisfied with where you are, you can change by establishing habits that drive you toward your desired goals, that is your Definite Major Purpose and Vision.
Sound health begins with a sound health consciousness, just as financial success begins with a prosperity consciousness. Here is how Napoleon has summarized this principle and I've expanded this list with a contemporary discussion of healthy success lifestyle.
This post is a Summary of the posts that I did for each of Napoleon Hill's 17 Principles of Success. I used various titles for these posts, and this post is a summary listing of all of my posts for easy reference between the principle and my post title.
An effective Mindset is one of the key factors influencing the success of any entrepreneur. Anyone who is endeavoring to be a successful Freedom-Preneur must realize that their own thinking got them to where they currently are. To grow and insure success then they must expand their thinking through books.
So where do you start building your Freedom-Preneur's library? This list provides some essential books that you must own to nurture the right mindset for a successful business.

Gryllus bimaculatus
|Gryllus bimaculatus
|Gryllus bimaculatus
|Scientific classification
|Gryllus bimaculatus
|Binomial name
|Gryllus bimaculatus
De Geer, 1773
Gryllus bimaculatus is one of many cricket species known as field crickets. Also known as the African or Mediterranean field cricket or as the two-spotted cricket, it can be discriminated from other Gryllus species by the two dot-like marks on the base of its wings.
The species is popular for use as a food source for insectivorous animals like spiders and reptiles kept as pets or in zoos. They are easy to raise and do not require prolonged exposure to cold in order to complete their life cycle.
In the wild, male crickets do not tolerate one another and will fight until there is a winner. The loser usually retreats without serious injury. The fighting method involves opening the mandibles as wide as possible, gripping the opponent's mandibles and pushing with the hind legs.
Male crickets of this species produce several distinctive chirps, though each sound is made by rubbing the two outer wings together. Loud and steady chirps made throughout the night are to attract females and to warn off other males. Loud fast-frequency chirps are emitted when males encounter one another and are preparing to fight. They are intended to frighten off the rival male. A soft clipping sound is made when a female is known to be nearby. Its purpose is to encourage the female to mate.
These crickets can be found hiding under logs, grasses, and in crevices. They can also dig holes into the ground to create homes for themselves, or live in holes created by other animals. Males are territorial and will fight off other males, but allow any number of females to coexist in the same shelter.
Cannibalism is extremely rare, but females have been observed to eat males if there is not enough food to eat.
Circadian Rhythm[edit]
Pigment Dispersing Factor has been implicated in the nocturnal rhythms of crickets.[1]
Females have a tubular organ at the rear, known as an ovipositor, which is used to lay eggs into the ground. They lay their eggs into humid soil and the baby crickets hatch in about two weeks.
Gryllus bimaculatus exhibit polygamy, in which one individual has many different mates. Variation of polygamous behavior occurs between males and females, within a population of Gryllus bimaculatus.[2] Both females and males continuously seek mates with whom they can spread their seed. Polyandry is the most common form of polygamy practiced in G. bimaculatus. This means that female crickets will mate with more than one male. Male crickets do not exhibit polygyny.
Polygamy in Males[edit]
The rate at which males seek mates is unspecific but relatively high. This is due to anisogamy and their drive to pass on alleles while minimizing competition.
Males will show the same drive to mate with previous mates as with new mates.[3] The ability of a male cricket's sperm to successfully fertilize a female's egg after mating varies depending on various traits.[4] An example of one trait that increases fertilization success is the amount of sperm that is effectively delivered through mating.[4] The more sperm that is deposited results in greater fertilization success because more eggs are able to hatch.[5] The order in which various males mate with one female before fertilization also affects fertilization success.[6] The last male that mates with a female tends to have the highest fertilization success.[6] Traits that increase the ability of a male's sperm to successfully fertilize a female's egg compared to that of another male are most advantageous.[7] This is because these traits have been selected for over traits that have lower fertilization success.[7]
Females prefer to mate with certain males more than others.[2] Females show a distinct preference for mating with new males.[3] Female G. bimaculatus mate with at least two males before zygote production occurs.[8]
Polyandry is a costly reproductive system for females because they put a lot of time, energy and resources into producing eggs.[3] It is not as costly for males because they can produce a larger amount of sperm for less time, energy and resources.[3] Males can also fertilize many eggs in one mating.[3] However, polyandry is still evolved in crickets because it provides benefits that outweigh the costs.[3] It allows females to mate with males that have more desirable traits than previous mates, which is beneficial to offspring success.[3] This multiple mate system allows new combinations of genes to come together, which results in more genetic variation in the population.[3] It also allows females to avoid mating with infertile males.[3] Two mechanisms that allow polyandry to be advantageous agents for increasing males' fitness are sperm competition and male guarding behavior.[3]
Sperm Competition[edit]
Sperm competition is the interaction between sperm traits and female selection of these traits.[7] It allows males with more advantageous traits to survive and reproduce more than less fit males.[7] In particular, competition among males causes sperm competition to increase. Sperm expenditure will increase when there is a higher risk of competition.[7] Reproductive investment is metabolically straining, especially for males that have less desirable genes. These males have to invest even more resources into each reproductive opportunity when a mate competitor is in their environment.[9] The amount of resources a male invests in producing a large amount of sperm, the greater the chances of successful fertilization.
Sperm competition also helps to prevent crickets that have genomes that are too similar from mating.[5] Inbreeding , which is when individuals who are have closely related genomes mate, decreases the viability of cricket offspring and results in offspring with lower fitness.[5] As a result, male crickets that are genetically similar to female mates tend to be less effective in producing healthy offspring that have high fitness.[5] Females can avoid the costs of inbreeding by selecting sperm that are not genetically similar to their eggs.[5]
Male Guarding Behavior[edit]
Male guarding behaviors are when male crickets guard female crickets after recently mating with them.[10] These behaviors protect the guarding male's sperm and allow this sperm to fertilize the female's egg, despite the increase in predation of the guarding male.[10] As a result, the guarding male's advantageous traits are passed on.[10] Male guarding behaviors also reduce the risk of females becoming prey.[10] When males protect female mates from predators, these females are saved from death.[10] This not only has the benefit of allowing that particular male's sperm to become fertilized, but also allows the female to continue to survive and reproduce.[10] This in turn can lead to increased mating and higher fitness between the female and guarding male.[10]
Novel Mate Hypothesis[edit]
Females of G. bimaculatus species prefer to mate with new, or "novel", mates. The Novel Mate hypothesis states that a female will avoid mating with males they have already mated with.[2] The differentiation between previous mates and novel ones allows females to search for genetically superior males.
Females are able to differentiate between novel and previous mates through odor cues. These are left behind by the female on the male to allow for sensory-differentiation. This self-referent chemosensory signaling is both a reliable and simple means for a female to maximize the benefits of polyandry.[11] Females can also use palpation and antennation before mating to deduce whether or not a mate is novel.[2]

Nuut feckin' nuut!
Experts have discovered the identity of Pingu's spoken language: English in an Irish accent. (Bleeped, but possibly still not feckin' worksafe, y'old bollocks.)
Just put 'em in the freezer...
In 2013, NZ researchers looking at conserving evidence from the Shackleton Expedition (1914-17) found 22 unprocessed negatives stored in a box at a hut where a group of stranded explorers had sheltered. "Though slightly damaged, the incredible images give us a rare glimpse of adventurers from the past."
Forty-three Werner Herzog films that can be streamed

How do you like your penguin?
'The Southern Ocean Beach Club' is the photo-blog of a chef working at a research station in the Antarctic. The photos are rather beautiful.
Terra Nova, formerly Incognito
In a twist worthy of a bestseller or blockbuster, the remains of the shipwrecked Terra Nova have been identified just off the coast of Greenland, just in time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scott's ill-fated attempt to become the first man to reach the south pole. On 6 June 1911 Robert Falcon Scott, who was born in Plymouth, celebrated his 43rd birthday at the south pole expedition base camp at Cape Evans. On 29 March 1912 he and his companions finally starved and froze to death in their tent, 11 miles from a supply cache, on the march back from discovering that the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them to the pole.
Where the night's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
The Midnight Sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. This short, time lapse film was shot in June 2011 over 17 days and incorporates 38,000 images. The photographer/videographer traveled over 2,900 miles throughout Iceland.

A brief survey of remarkable grottos: some, like the Nottingham Limestone Caves, have been expanded over time by human habitation and digitally surveyed in high resolution. Some have been turned into temples or castles. Sometimes they are at the bottom of the world, beneath Mount Erebus.
Ghost Mountains
Beneath the ice lie the ghost mountains For over a million years they have been ice bound but now scientists have mapped the outlines of the mountain ranges below the Antarctic ice. Dr Michael Studinger from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University, New York has presented a paper on the "more jagged", "more linear" mountains below the Antarctic ice. Further expeditions are planned. Hang on, I mean, further expeditions are planned. Sorry, I mean further expeditions are planned. Previously on MeFi
The Dry Valleys
Michael Becker is spending three months in a tent in an Antarctic desert. And he is blogging about the experience. Previously about Antarctica.
Exploring The Ice Mountains
Beneath the Antarctica lies a hidden mountain range known as the Gamburtsevs. The mountains are at least 4km beneath the ice and present a puzzle for scientists who are unable to explain what the mountains are doing there. [more inside]
Kadath in the Cold Waste
Landsat Image Mosaic Of Antarctica UK and US researchers peice together the most detailed map of Antarctica yet, searching through years of data to find cloud free images.
Subglacial Lake Vostok
A large freshwater lake lies under the Antarctic ice. Russian researchers bored a hole in the ice, almost all the way down to Lake Vostok, before complying with requests that they stop. The lake has been isolated under 4km of ice for at least 500,000 years, and could be irreversibly contaminated if the Russians' drill breaks through to the liquid. There may be life in the cold, highly-oxygenated water of the lake. Confident that they can reach the lake safely, the Russians have resumed drilling.
Dead man rowing
Lone ranger or lunatic? Colin Yeates is about to set off from the Falkland Islands on his second attempt to row alone and unsupported around Antarctica. His previous attempt ended in spectacular failure after just two days of plotting an erratic course in the wrong direction and crash landing on a beach just 50 miles from where he set off. Undeterred by the danger he places in the path of those who will, inevitably, have to rescue him, the father of seven has repaired his tiny rowing boat and seems unbothered that winter is nigh and the local sailors don't want to shake the hand of this dead man walking.
Moving house
The winning design for the British Antarctic Survey's Halley VI station looks very futuristic. It's built on legs with skis (a runner up - walked) so that it can be moved around and avoid being buried like some 1, 2 in the past.
I may be some time
"The story of Scott's last expedition to the south pole will, I feel sure, be already known to many of you ... it is one which for courage, endeavour, endurance and unselfishness even in the face of death, will, I feel, never be surpassed.... I feel you will understand the difficulties met with when I tell you that the negatives from which these slides were made and the slides themselves were developed and washed with the aid of melted ice."
The Antarctic Ozone Hole Predicted to Close by 2050
The Antarctic Ozone Hole Predicted to Close by 2050
Australian scientists at CSIRO have confirmed their earlier predictions that the ozone depletion in the Antarctic is slowing, and ozone will steadily increase from 2005 on. The "hole" will close by 2050. "[Paul Fraser, chief of CSIRO, said] 'I think this shows global protocols can work,' ... while acknowledging that 'the economics' of greenhouse gases were far more complex than the CFC issue." (1). An interview with Fraser by ABC is here (2) Some past stories (3, 4).

Global Warming with Regional Variations: Antarctic Ice Growing over the last 20 years.
This week marks the 90th anniversary of the death of Robert Falcon Scott and four companions on their return trip from the South Pole. Most of the blame for the failure of the polar expedition has been placed on critical blunders Scott made in his trek to the pole but Antarctic meterologist Susan Sontag says that although Scott cut his safety margins too close, unusually cold weather provided the killing blow. On a related subject, next month A&E premires a movie starring Kenneth Branagh as Shackleton (flash site) who saved his crew after their ship shattered in Antartic pack ice.

We spent that late afternoon listening to a chorus of frogs echoing across a creek canyon, above, the hills above brushed golden by the gentle sway of native grasses illuminated by magic hour sunlight, the gnarled sentry of wizened oaks following us as we followed the narrow trails of mule deer. Our time there was short, but the memories imprinted endless.]]>
In any case, check out these crazy Los Angeles Freeways below…can you dig?
On a related note, if one was to suppose a freeway system could be beautiful from an aesthetic (and aerial) perspective, I'd risk noting the Turbine Interchange in Dubai is a dizzying sight to behold…if not also a travesty considering its landscaped-in-a-desert greenery:
So pleased Jaime picked my shed project for Design Milk as one of her favorite posts of 2015. Looking toward 2016 I have a great many more ideas for upgrading the space, inside and out (next up – after the rain – is building a small surrounding deck).
Ricardo Bofill's La Fábrica is Brutalist architecture of the highest magnitude, a salvaged industrial space turned into a cathedral of the aesthetic. The space is uncompromising in its beauty, with window views evoking the imagination of Magritte, the exterior shoulder strapped with stairways ascending with Escher-like purpose.
"A brutalist vision, with a romantic vision", embracing the luxury of solitude. There is comfort and pleasure knowing a place like this really exists.
"The two things that excite me and make me vibrate are the aesthetic feeling … beauty is what moves me, after that intelligence."
That said, I believe the aural component of experiencing nature shouldn't have to be amplified for us to appreciate the world unfolding around us. We already listen to things too loudly everywhere else, with most of our lives bathed in noise, welcomed or uninvited. As in cinema, sometimes the loudest emotional moments are the most silent, and nature provides us opportunities to experience existence without manipulative volume. The opportunity to give up ourselves to a place is offered when you turn the dial from "output" to "input", occasionally all the way down to "off"…a frightening thought for some, for only then are we left with our own thoughts.
Hilbre tries to capture the feeling of summer on the islands. It follows the lives of the residents and the seasonal visitors, the beauty of the flora and the awe inspiring tides that cut Hilbre off from the mainland.
Those moments of silence interrupted by the lightly layered whispers of trees and grass swaying, the small avalanches of sand streaming down a hill, the chitinous chatter of insects crawling underfoot*, and the distant echoes of birds overhead are all amplified already when we make a conscious effort to give into our sense for more than a heartbeat. When sound can enter beyond the ear and be felt deep within our organs, tickling our skin, and affecting emotions and memory it takes on a whole new property than background noise or an imposition.
Sometimes the sounds of a place can be deafening: the crashing tide along the snaggle-toothed coast of Sea Ranch, the choral howls of monkeys in Costa Rica, a thunderous monsoon having an emotional breakdown in fits and fury of light and sound. Other times it's only when I silence the chatter in my head I can hear – really hear – the space I'm inhabiting. Even in conversation, so much can be communicated with the pause when words are unnecessary or insufficient. Yet in our nervous state we continually decide to layer in more sound onto our lives? It's a most perplexing habit of humans to continually speak and seek being spoken to with volume mistaken for meaning.
To learn how to hear the world without it screaming in our ears is a proficiency with lasting effects even after you've departed from sweeping sounds of the forest, the stark silence of the desert, or the throaty cool exhale of the sea. What a world…what a lovely world…is revealed when we set out not to seek more, but discover an appreciation for less.
* One of my favorite memories in Costa Rica was Emily and I both leaning our ears to the ground to listen to a streaming line of leaf cutter ants, each hurrying across a network of branches and fallen leaves with purpose, their percussive procession like the tiniest bars of a typewriter writing the story of industry with each footstep.]]>
Although we were much enamored by everything about the multi-level geodesic dome and accompanying verdant edible garden – from its open multi-level layout, dramatic panoramic deck view, winding garden trail, and the potential of an on-site yurt – we sobered up to the fact that the sizable duties required of caretakers wouldn't offer a realistic opportunity for us to maintain both our professional aspirations. The maintenance of the property and the influx of AirBnb guests on a daily basis were better suited for someone who made the house their primary focus, perhaps with art or writing as a creative supplemental.
With regret we bowed out for consideration.
Today Haeg sent word he's putting the home on the market:
"After 15 happy years at home here, from the olden days of Sundown Salon gatherings to Sundown Schoolhouse programs, I've decided it's time to find new hands for this special place as I focus exclusively on the future of the new long term project Salmon Creek Farm in Northern California."
At $890,000 asking price, I'm a little short in funds to make an offer myself. But I'm hoping someone out there who shares an appreciation for the spirit imbued by the architecture initially designed by Los Angeles architect William King back in 1982 and further expanded by Haeg's vision throughout the year will continue evolving one of the most unique homes in all of Los Angeles into something uniquely their own.

The Costa Rican diet is primarily made up of beans, rice, fish, vegetables, and a wide variety of native and Asian/African tropical fruits mostly eaten whole or in juice form (plantains and the pejibaye are two exceptions, with each enjoyed preferably cooked). Some warned the food in Costa Rica would leave me unimpressed. I'd disagree. There was much to appreciate in the populace's appreciation for freshness, as was on full display as sellers peeled, poured, chopped, scooped, stirred, and shucked the cornucopia of the region's bountiful produce. It will be a long time before I forget a market so characterized by its fragrance and punctuated by flavors so dimensionally rich beyond sweet.
Featuring exclusive music and artwork, this very special limited edition box set has been created in celebration of Carsten Nicolai's exhibition at The Vinyl Factory space at Brewer Street Car Park, which featured unicolor (2014) and an expanded version of his audio-visual artwork, bausatz noto (1998).
Four Technics SL-1210 turntables are integrated into a table. On each of these turntables lies a specially produced vinyl record with endless grooves, each of which provides the visitor with the opportunity to play several sound loops endlessly. The table functions as an instrument allowing the viewer to layer and superimpose the sound loops and to create perpetually new combinations. The field of interaction is further expanded by the option to substitute the record, to vary its pace and to have it rotate unpredictably through alternating holes. Headphones on the table invite the visitor to attentively follow the emergence of the sound surface.
Our first water and power bill arrived recently and I was relieved to be informed by Emily that our total use is actually far below the average. In fact, if these figures are correct, we're only using about 1/4 the average of the typical LA resident. It's a welcome surprise discovering a small house can be comparatively efficient to an apartment, but those figures underlines our city as a whole has a long way to go in regards to water/energy efficiency (for those seeking some help about recommendations for reducing water use, check out the Home Water-Energy-Climate Calculator)
It helps our place is small, there's no lawn, we cool the home with natural circulation and ceiling fans instead of AC, I've been switching all of our lighting to LED, and we've been trying to reuse greywater for the garden as much as possible (bucket by bucket in some instances). Our big project for the next few months – years – will be to convert the front and backyard into a drought tolerant landscape, one which also invites pollinators and stabilizes the surrounding hills from soil erosion. In comparison being water efficient inside seems much simpler than changes and work required outside.
And yet we're living comfortably, underlining conservation doesn't mean a life of wanting. It seems all of those "if its yellow, be mellow" and "shower every other day" practices have merit.]]>

NEW JERSEY (CBSNewYork) — As Memorial Day weekend nears, you may be wondering how the state of the Jersey Shore is following rebuilding from Superstorm Sandy and a very tough winter season.
For the record, "Our beaches are in excellent condition moving forward for this summer," Dr. Jon Miller said.
Miller, a research assistant professor at Stevens Institute, works on the State of the Shore report every year for the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, WCBS 880's Levon Putney reported.
"We've been the beneficiary of a lot of great work done by the Corps of Engineers and the state in re-nourishing our beaches. So in a lot of cases, they're actually built back stronger and better even prior to Sandy," he said.
State Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bob Martin told Putney they've tested the waters up and down the shore.
"The water is excellent on all the shore beaches," he said. "So we're looking forward to the summer and a great start to the summer with Memorial Day."
