The initial design, by the Swedish developers D.I.C.E., had the Asian character Faith looking quite distinct and supposedly orientated around Western concepts of beauty - a little bit edgy with facial tattoos and an athletic physique. The end result was a Western conception of Oriental beauty - something which is frequently criticised by gamers from different geographic regions. A few sites have carried series of contrasting pictures dealing with the idealised notion of beauty (see Kotaku, Joystiq, etc).
A different version of Faith appeared on a message board, produced by a Korean gamer, which depicted what he thought was a more appealing depiction of Asian female beauty. As you should be able to see from the images, the amended picture loses the facial tattoo, has a narrower jaw-line, larger eyes, a smaller nose and significantly larger breasts. The story is timely given the recent release of the latest Lara Croft game in the successful Tomb Raider series (despite the review scandal), no stranger to having been edited by fans.
The MTV interview with Farrer was quite revealing. He wasn't exactly overjoyed that the character design his team had worked on in an attempt to make Faith seem 'human ... more real' was rejected in favour of the new version. The following extract is taken from the MTV interview with Farrer:
"We really wanted to get away from the typical portrayal of women in games, that they're all just kind of tits and ass in a steel bikini. We wanted her to look athletic and fit and strong [enough] that she could do the things that she's doing.What is interesting about Farrer's comment is the focus on the increased breast size - it seems to sidestep the more pressing issue about the rights and wrongs of pandering to stereotypical depictions of ethnicity within representational forms. Lots of blog discussions followed the initial posting of the comparisons last month in which questions over which of the images was 'more real'.
"We wanted her to be attractive, but we didn't want her to be a supermodel. We wanted her to be approachable and far more real. It was just kind of depressing that someone thinks it would be better if Faith was a 12-year-old with a boob job. That was kind of what that image looked to me."
We have to ask whether or not this visual preference of one Korean gamer is significant? Does it merely pander to juvenile concerns (inflated breasts) or does it raise more intersecting issues about enforcing ideals of beauty onto ethnic 'others' (part of a process which Edward Said referred to as 'Orientalism')? Can Occidental designers ever transcend their geography?
What does this tell us about the perception of women in games? Is it symptomatic of what Dmitri Williams refers to as the 'consistent pattern of male technocratic privilege' typical of gaming culture? In a conversation I had about the issue with a colleague, Dr Vicky Ball, she noted that the images were interesting in that they pointed to how the inescapable codes of femininity appear regularly in media depictions of the female form. The amended image almost seems to want to bring about a retraditionalisation of gender codes, in terms of the established binary divisions which seem to exist between Eastern and Western conceptions of beauty.
This seems to be precisely the opposite intention of D.I.C.E.'s initial design, however, when one culture attempts to aestheticise another there is always going to be some contentious issues raised about the legitimacy of the output.

DAVID STARR AND SPEARS MOTORSPORTS READY TO ROCK AND ROLL IN MEMPHIS Ready to rock and roll their way to victory David Starr and the Spears Motorsports crew head for the Memphis, the city famous for both blues and rock and roll, and Round 14 of...
Ready to rock and roll their way to victory David Starr and the Spears Motorsports crew head for the Memphis, the city famous for both blues and rock and roll, and Round 14 of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, July 23 at Memphis Motorsports Park.
"After having a week off we're definitely really to cut a fast-paced tune," said the popular Texas native. "The combination short track and tri-oval design of the Memphis track makes it a fun and challenging place to race and I definitely like it. Doing well requires a good handling truck and we have that in our Chevy Silverado. With a little help from Lady Luck, we will be good to go."
Currently ranked in 11th in the overall point standings, Starr and everyone at Spears Motorsports are working overtime to get out of their recent slump and back on top of things. "We fought our way to a 10th place finish two weeks ago at Kentucky," says Starr, who fell back as far as 25th. "It certainly wasn't what we wanted. We are a championship caliber team and we know we can do a lot better than we have been doing in the last few races. This is a phenomenal crew and none of the guys have any intention of settling for poor results. We are here to win races and that is what we intend to do."
The O'Reilly 200 will mark Starr's fifth start at Memphis Motorsports Park. "So far my best finish was a 7th in 2002," continues Starr. " Last year, we finished 10th. This year, we plan to better that. The last two times out, Dodge has grabbed the victory. This year, I would like nothing better than to be able to restore the Checkered to Chevrolet. That would really be an honor."
Armed with a tough Chevy truck, great horsepower from Ron Hutter, a highly experienced dedicated crew, and a fantastic sponsor, Spears Motorsports has now added the talents of former truck competitor Rick Carelli as their spotter. "I'm really excited to have Rick aboard," says Starr. "His ability, experience and knowledge will be great and I think he will be a great boon in helping make our way to the front."
Qualifying for this one-day event will take place at 4:30PM ET, with race action starting at 8PM ET. Be sure to check out TruckSeries.com for live qualifying and follow race action on SPEED TV.

Well, anyway, just wanted to leave a brief blurb apologizing for not posting. I've had some health issues lately that have really sapped my energy so badly that all I've been able to do is come home and pass out on the couch after work.
However, I have returned from the doctor and am on the mend. I've only been taking medication since Wednesday evening, and I already feel a million times better than I did. I was just telling the hubs that even though I've gotten through today on only four hours of sleep, I still feel 200% better than I did just last week.
Sooo ... I've got some stuff I need to organize so I can post!
Like the second half of my Parthenon trip, plus a few book reviews and such, and I'm sure I'll have something to say about my trip to the Southern Kentucky Book Fest tomorrow with my friend Shalena from Writer Quirk!
I'm also looking forward to having energy again so that I can finish up my novel-in-progress that I have neglected more and more as my health kept going downhill. But, as I said, I'm doing better now, and am looking forward to getting myself re-organized and back into fierce edit/rewrite mode!
Good things are on the horizon, I know it!

Beavers for Everyone!
I just came across this story while cruising the BBC News online and thought it was pretty cute: the UK is all excited about the first wild beavers to be born on the island in four hundred years!
Native to Great Britain, beavers were, sadly, hunted to extinction there several hundred years ago. Last year scientists reintroduced the little guys to Scotland as part of the Scottish Beaver Trial, with eleven animals coming from Norway. In addition to starting families, it sounds like they are damming up all sorts of stuff and creating great new wetland environments. Good for you, beavers! ...and it's nice to know sometimes we humans can fix the things we screw up (even if it takes four hundred years!).

Newton Upper Falls is a village situated on the east bank of the Charles River in the city of Newton, Massachusetts, in the United States. The area borders Needham, Massachusetts to the south/southwest, Wellesley, Massachusetts to the west, the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston to the extreme southeast, and the Newton villages of Waban, Newton Highlands and Newton Center to the north and east. The village is served partially by Eliot "T" station, part of the Green Line "D" Branch of the MBTA, with rapid light rail service inbound into downtown Boston and outbound to Riverside. Major roads that serve the village are Route 128, and Route 9 (Boylston Street), which provides a direct, 6 mile commute into downtown Boston. Newton Upper Falls is home to the Hemlock Gorge and Echo Bridge, a large aqueduct turned pedestrian walkway over the Charles River. It is said to be the only village that has retained its original name from when the area was founded in the 1600s. It has over 150 homes on the historic register despite its small area. Sullivan Avenue, an unpaved private road in Newton Upper Falls is the last remaining portion of the ancient highway connecting Boston and Cambridge with Newton and points west in the 1600s (back then it was called Cambridge Village). Also on Sullivan Avenue is a famous pothole; not the kind you avoid with your car, but a geological anomaly where a boulder that was originally pushed down the cliff by a now extinct waterfall got caught and became round. The boulder spun around in its place carving a shaft over thousands of years. Since then half the shaft collapsed and now all that can be seen is half of a cylindrical shaft through the cliff at the corner of Sullivan and Elliot Streets.

I was just there over the weekend with a girlfriend and it was great. The resort was clean and the staff was super friendly. There were people from all different places, it was awesome to see so many different nationalities. The rooms were clean, with enough space and a really nice balcony. We usually hung out there listening to music and drinking in between getting ready for dinner. The weather was the best during our 5 days. It only rain once on Friday night but the rain lasted less than an hour and it was while we were back in the room getting ready for dinner.
Food was ok, nothing out of this world. They had a different theme every night which was nice. And the Mexican restaurant was really good. Just remember to make reservation for the Mexican place either the day before or the day off. And they are close Sundays and Mondays.
They also have a snack bar that runs all day. They have burgers, hot dogs, pizza and fries. We had pizza and fries everyday. I think I gain 6 pounds by the time I came back.
The vendors on the beach can be a little annoying but just say "No gracias", they usually go away, but they will come back. This is how they make their living. I was kind of glad the vendors came up to us, I was dying to do the zip lining and monkey jungle but the hotel could not make it work during the time I was there. So we ended up booking it with Sergio on the beach. They picked us up the next morning at the front desk at 8:30am and we were back by 1pm. It is definitely a must do. It was AWESOME!!!! The guides at the monkey jungle were very friendly, plus the money goes to a good cause.
The animation staff was also great. The shows every night wdere entertaining. They are not Broadway caliber, but there is some talent in there. The Michael Jackson show was the best out of the ones we saw. And "baby face" the kid impersonating Michael Jackson is an amazing dancer. They also had another boy who is obviously classically trained. They were a delight to watch. During the day the animation staff did a nice job trying to get the staff to get involve in games. They did pool aerobics, Sexy Juan Carlos ran volleyball games on the beach everyday and Scooby Doo was trying to get us to play some game with a golf ball and a bunch of colorful balls. I never really understood it, or played it for that matter. I got my workout walking to the bar to get drinks. The bar was open since 10am, the drinks were a little weak, but it didnt bother us since it was all inclusive. The disco is really small, but since it was during off season it was not crowded down there. The animation staff hangs out with all the guest to make sure everyone is having a good time. We will coming back. It was lots of fun.
Our only complaint is the water temperature for the jacuzzi. It was really cold. We also went to the spa to get manicures and pedicures. The staff was super friendly but the water used for our pedicure was cold and there were no massage jets while soaking our feet like we are used to in the States!

I drove to the nursery today and bought three tress--a flowering pear, a hybrid maple and an elm. It's very exciting to have these new trees home and to try to decide where they would go best. Christine, the nursery owner, told me to plant them high so that some of the top feeder roots will be above the soil line enabling the water to run off. At the same time, I have a small berm around the perimeter to make drip watering easier. The water will soak down to the roots.
The holes are so big that it's really hard work to fill in the hole around the plant. I'm using a bag of composted steer manure, adding a sack to each hole. It won't provide many nutrients but it will make it easier for the roots to move out into the hole. I putting a slow release fertilzer which I will bury under the last full shovel full of dirt, careful to put it out to the full diameter of the hole, so the roots will go searching for food farther out from the planted root ball.
These trees need to grow tall fast so plentiful food and water is important.
I planted this tree yesterday evening. I love maple trees since I grew up with them in Indiana and this Red Sunset Maple is supposed to have bright red leaves in the autumn. It will often grow to between forty and sixty feet tall which will be perfect for shade protection from the western summer sun.
The leaves of a red sunset maple tree are shiny green on top and pale green beneath in the spring and summer seasons. They typically have three to five lobes, and are up to six inches in diameter. The flowers are small and red, appearing in dense clusters during mid spring. Red fruit replaces the flowers in mid summer. Red sunset maple trees also have reddish stems and twigs, which provide a good deal of winter interest once all the foliage has fallen.
Another main reason to buy this tree is that red sunset maple trees are relatively fast growers, and can grow up to two feet per year until maximum height has been reached. I'm happy to have this plant and have put it in the best hole and given it some water. We are expected to have dry and sunny weather here for the next few weeks.

I bought a redwood tree from Home Depot. It's about 15 feet tall and has new growth on it. I picked through the lot for a tree that was free from dead grey needles and had a healthy color. They were only $25 so I figured it was worth the chance. The real coastal redwood growing area is about 30 miles to the west, but several locals have had success with growing redwoods, including my neighbors on each side.
Today is a perfect day for transplanting. It's weather Coastal Redwoods should love. It's foggy, cool and drizzling rain. Yesterday I talked with a friend about this project and she suggested to fill the large hole I dug with the same dirt that came out of it instead of putting in potting soild and lots of fertilizer. She said the tree would act more like a container plant if I babied with the good growing medium and it's roots would just grow round and round the hole and never start to push out into a larger growing area. I'm going to compromise and fill the hole around the tree with two shovels of dirt and one shovel of potting soil and manure.
I've picked a place where the tree won't shade the house in winter and is far enough away to not be in danger of falling limbs. I'm very excited about growing a redwood.

A friend just brought me some American Persimmons from his father's orchard. They were soft and ripe and there's nothing as delicious as persimmon when fully ripe. The genus name is diospryros which means "fruit of the gods". Native Americans prized the fruit for it's flavor and sweetness and they are a popular food for wild turkey, mockingbirds, deer, raccoons, foxes, squirrels, rabbits, and other wildlife. They can be made into pudding, preserves, beer, and brandy, and can also be dried for winter eating.
At Thanksgiving we always had a persimmon pudding with whipped cream which was our traditional dessert. Delicious! The fruits I just got I ate fresh, biting off the end skin and sucking the pulpy insides out. So now I'm thinking of trying on in the yard in one of the new holes. In addition to its fruit, the tree can make an attractive mid-size yard tree. The large drooping leaves give it a soft look, and the dark checkered bark of mature trees provides winter interest. The flowers are an appealing creamy-yellow, very fragrant, and an excellent nectar source for honeybees.

I picked a great day to do the transplanting--a very cloudy day and the day after, rain and snow. Perfect! This red rose has been in the garden for about five or six years and I"ve never paid any attention to it or given it any care. But I decided I could move it to the new house and put it in a corner hole, I'd already dug where I could see it out of the sliding glass doors and where it could brighten the patio area I have planned.
The root ball was about two feet across and I had to break off a large piece and leave it in the original spot.. I put potting soil and composted steer manure in the hole and mixed it around. The root ball was so big it didn't leave much room for filling in around the plant, but I packed in as much dirt as I could and stepped on the filled hole to make sure the roots were touching dirt. It's not a good idea to leave air next to the roots.
I pruned off the branches and the roots before planting. A friend of mine kept reassuring me that you can't kill a rose and I hope that the case, but I'm very excited to have this new plant where I will be able to enjoy it's blossoms all summer long.

Burpee Catalog is filled with tons of new items. The King of Color tomato collection is featured on the cover with four varieties each a different color and perfect for slicing. There is a "Green Envy" cherry tomato which is deep green. Most of the new items are hybrids. Brokali is a cross between borccoli and kale and there is a lovely exotic looking petunia called Phantom which has black petals with a yellow star on them.
Burpee has been in business for 135 years and is one of the oldest and most venerable of seed companies. It made itself famous during WWII promoting victory gardens and in 1954 offered $10,000 for a white marigold. This is the company that developed the Big Boy Tomato and has continued to supply seeds and plants, both perennial and annual as well as garden supplies.
Their catalog is a delight to look through. It has a huge flowers section listings from A to Z both perennials and annuals, a total of 40 pages. The sweet pepper collection is really vast, all sizes, colors and shapes--a joy to behold.
You can check it out online or order one at Burpee
The Chitalpa is a cross between Catalpa bignonioides and Chilopsis linearis. The Chilopsis is a desert tree, sometimes called a Desert Willow. From the Chilopsis, the Chitalpa inherits long 3 to 5 inch dark green leaves and the ability to withstand some dry heat. However, unlike its desert parent, the Chitalpa can withstand low temperatures of around minus 15 degrees. This sounds like the perfect tree to in the front of my house. It has lovely flowers and grows quickly, but doesn't get too tall so that it won't block the view from the kitchen window.
Chitalpas start flowering in the spring and continue all summer long. The flowers are large and beautiful.
The local nursery is carrying these plants and I will talk to them about my concern about winter water being too much for the root system.
At Chitalpa
I"m ordering this tree in hopes of good results. I planted a redwood tree that was given to me about 10 years ago and although I water it well in summer, it has stood very quietly growing about six inches a year and it still isn't head high. You'd think results like that would give me pause, but I'm hoping with a nice, big hole and fertilizer that I will have better luck near the new house where I desperately need shade and something fresh and green outside the window.
This redwood start might be the one to do it for me. Although they thrive in the temperate rain forests of the Pacific Northwest, they can adapt to higher elevations and warmer and dryer climates, as well as colder areas. The secret is lots of water and sunshine. Sounds simple, huh? The product description says you can regulate the speed of growth by varying the light -- the lower the light, the slower the growth. We think these can be grown outdoors successfully from zones 5 through 9 if proper care is given. I live in zone 8.
At Nicely started California redwood tree - 22 inches high
A California wildfire swept through my place six years ago, killing most all of the trees and burning down a just restored barn. I had many lovely madrones on my land, some three hundred years old and all of them died. Madrone bark is thin and provides no protection from fire while some of the big pine and fir trees survived. But amazingly enough, the madrones immediately resprouted from the roots and now many of them are 8 or 9 feet tall and thanks to a friend of mine have been shaped into a tree. The sprouts come out so thick that the madrones after the fire look like shrubs, but with some skillful pruning can be encouraged to begin a tree existence sooner than nature would allow.
The Madrone is a lovely tree, evergreen, with large shiny green leaves and pink or red bark that peels off in the spring to reveal a satiny green new bark which in turn turns reddish. It has sweet smelling flowers in the spring that come in white droops and later a red berry forms which feeds wildlife, birds, deer, bear among others. I'm so happy my madrones are making a come back. They are notoriously hard to transplant and really thrive only in a Mediterreanean climate with hot summers and wet cool winters. If you're interested in trying to grow this lovely tree, you best start with a seed and plant it where you want it to grow. If you can't find a source of seeds, let me know and I can send you some this summer when the berries come ripe.
I'm digging three holes around the new house and transplanting the peonies from pots to the holes. I found some good advice from the "Gardner's Helper". The best time to plant peonies is in early fall. (early September until mid October are ideal) so they will have time to become established in the soil before winter. I"m assuming because mine are in pots this will not be a problem.
Mature plants will reach a diameter of three feet or more and so it is important to give them enough room to grow and develop. The planting hole should be at least 18 inches deep and about 18 inches in diameter. At the bottom of the hole, add a 4 inch layer of organic matter such as compost, pine bark, or well-aged manure. A half cup of a good organic plant food (10-6-4), bone meal or superphosphate should be mixed into this layer. You should avoid adding fertilizer to the soil that will be in direct contact with the roots.
Fill the hole half way with a mix of garden soil and compost, and then set the root division in place with the eyes facing upward. Spread the roots outward and evenly. Water thoroughly. Watering will not be a problem as it has rained and is supposed to keep raining for at least a week.
Make certain that the eyes will be no deeper than two inches when the planting is completed, or your Peony may fail to bloom. If potted peonies are being planted, plant them at same level as they are growing in the pot. I'm using potting soil and also returning some of the clay I dug for the hole. The rest I'll make a circle dam around the plant for easy watering in the summer.
After the division or plant is in place, work the soil in around the roots, finish filling the hole, and then water again. If root divisions are planted in the spring, they may not bloom for up to two years. However, peonies which are potted and already growing may bloom for you the first year when planted early enough in the spring.
"If childhood memories include gorgeous pink peonies from your grandmother's garden, ones with lots of full blossoms and perfume that made you swoon, there's a very good chance the variety was Monsieur Jules Elie. First introduced in 1888, this peony has graced countless gardens, edged thousands of driveways and been the featured flower on dining room tables across America for generations. Monsieur Jules Elie is an early bloomer with large, fully double rose-pink blossoms and plants that grow to almost three feet with a two foot spread. Deer resistant."

AUBURN HILLS, Mich (NBA.com exclusive) -- When Joe Dumars created the blueprint this summer to make the Detroit Pistons a contender into the next decade, he envisioned a game like this.
Dumars, the Pistons' president of basketball operations, saw Ben Gordon firing up high-arcing 3-pointers, making floaters in the lane and creating opportunities for his teammates. He also saw Charlie Villanueva going on explosive scoring runs with an array of 3-pointers, slashing moves into the lane, baseline runners and post ups.
Everyone at The Palace of Auburn Hills witnessed the same thing Wednesday night as the combination of Gordon and Villanueva led the Pistons to a 98-75 wipeout of the punchless Charlotte Bobcats.
Gordon racked up 22 points and a season-high eight assists while Villanueva poured in 30 points despite sitting out the fourth quarter of the blowout. Dumars invested $90 million in Gordon and Villanueva during a free-agent signing spree and they're paying early dividends.
"They did have it going," said Pistons coach John Kuester, who defeated his former Pistons boss and mentor, Larry Brown. "The nice thing about it was how they shared the basketball. Charlie has an uncanny ability to make very difficult shots at times. They complement each other."
The Pistons led by as much as 35, even though starters Tayshaun Prince (small disc rupture in lower back) and Richard Hamilton (right ankle sprain) remained sidelined. They played arguably their best game this season, collecting a season-best 26 assists on 40 field goals while shooting 55.6 percent.
They hadn't made more than 20 assists in their previous seven games and were last in the league in that category entering the game.
"I don't think our ranking in the league right now is indicative of the team we are," said Gordon, who was just one shy of his career high in assists. "We have a lot of unselfish guys but sometimes we rely on ourselves too much. Tonight, we did a good job of moving the ball and recognizing when guys had it going and we got everybody involved."
Charlotte, playing the second game of a back-to-back, also got everyone in the act. Unfortunately, the Bobcats were equally guilty of coughing up the ball. They made 20 turnovers, leading to 27 Pistons points. They had eight players with at least two giveaways.
Brown ripped his team in a postgame meeting.
"We just got out-coached tonight," he said. "They executed, they played great and they were much more organized and played much harder. I admired the way that they played and I was embarrassed by the way we played."
Ranked last in both scoring and field-goal percentage, the Bobcats had their pick-and-roll plays diffused by the Pistons' energetic defenders. That led to bad passes and low percentage jumpers. "I thought we were just being active," Gordon said. "Even when we made mistakes defensively in our coverages, guys were making second and third efforts. We were able to force turnovers and score off of them."
A 19-7 run at the end of the first half gave the Pistons a 52-41 halftime advantage. Pistons reserve guard Will Bynum ignited his club and the crowd by driving past Gerald Wallace and throwing down a one-handed dunk over 7-footer Tyson Chandler. The 6-foot Bynum, who also dunked on a fourth-quarter fast break, wound up with 16 points.
"That got us going a lot," Gordon said. "Will is one of those guys who's like a freak of nature. When he gets a lane to the basket, he's liable to end up on SportsCenter."
Detroit built on that momentum by outscoring Charlotte 29-12 in the third. Villanueva had 18 of those points, overwhelming counterpart Boris Diaw.
Gordon added six points and five assists in the third, four on Villanueva buckets.
Gordon stripped Flip Murray and fed Villanueva for a fast-break dunk, then executed a pick and roll that turned into a Villanueva 20-footer.
Moments later, Gordon dished the ball out to Villanueva for a 3-pointer, then fed his favorite target once again with a behind-the-back bounce pass, leading to a Villanueva baseline drive.
"I knew Ben Gordon was talented one-on-one and was going to score points for us," Kuester said. "I'm just so impressed with his unselfishness."
Rodney Stuckey chipped in 16 points and seven assists for the Pistons, while Nazr Mohammed's 13 points and eight rebounds topped Charlotte. Wallace was held to 12 points by Detroit rookies Jonas Jerebko and Austin Daye. Diaw had just seven points for the Bobcats, who played without starting guard Raja Bell (calf strain).
"We were bad all over the place," Chandler said. "It was very disappointing tonight because I don't think that we should have lost to this team that way."

Ancient Chapel Rescued by Recclesia
If English Heritage had existed in the 1700s, Wervin Chapel would almost certainly have been on the at risk register even then. Having stood since before the 1200s as a chapel of ease to the Abbey of St Werburgh's in Chester, the chapel was deconsecrated in the eighteenth century and was very quickly robbed of much of its red sandstone fabric. As the building became ruinous and the neighbouring farm grew larger following enclosure, the chapel was given a new but somewhat less holy function as a cow shed. Its demise was brought another step closer during the Second World War, when anecdotal evidence suggests that some local boys in possession of grenades decided to spend an amusing afternoon blowing up what was left of the chancel.
The partially standing remains of the North and East elevations are designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Listed Building. Despite there being so little fabric still evident, English Heritage determined that the site was worthy of conservation work to prevent the total loss of the historic site. Masonry conservation specialists from Recclesia were called in to undertake the careful excavation, sorting and recording of the tumbled ruins in conjunction with an archaeologist. Following the extensive process of documenting the site, the objective was to conserve as found the sections of the chapel that were still standing and to uncover and consolidate what was left of the footings of the elevations. The intention was very much to ensure that the monument was not only stable and able to take weather, but that its original form could be read and understood by visitors.
To this end, the footings were excavated under archaeological watch and each stone found was carefully cleaned of soil, moss and root growth. A number of worked stones were uncovered, including several sections of the east window and a large kneeler stone from the east gable. Some remains of glazed floor tiles were also found fully intact during the dig. After carrying out a long inventory of material, Recclesia's masons began consolidating the core of the standing stones and footings. The excavated stones were used to rebuild a section of the east elevation, meaning that all the unearthed original fabric was retained and reused. Hydraulic lime mortars were used with local sands to bed and point and larger gaps in the structure were galletted using excavated smaller stones, slates and tile. The standing walls were tested for water traps and carefully placed lime mortar was used to ensure that the structure was able to shed water as best it could as a defence against excessive weathering.
The results of the work are in line with the intentions of the plan to conserve the site as found. The remaining elevations have been conserved to a point at which the rate of decay has been significantly slowed and the layout of the original building is more readily apparent to anyone who looks at the site. Root growth and surface vegetation have been removed from the core and from the footings, reducing the risk of structural damage to the monument and below-ground damage to the archaeology of the site. The masonry itself has been given a fighting chance of survival thanks to the use of appropriately mixed and applied lime mortars, descaling of the friable surface and careful introduction of weather-shedding aids.
Without such work being commissioned by English Heritage, the historic remains of the chapel would certainly have been lost in no time at all. Thanks to careful work by Recclesia, the remains stand as a very clear marker of the history of the site and the local area.

REPORT ON CANVAS TOWN FIRE 8th MARCH 2006 TIME 17:16 HOURS
[Presented at 2006 FRFANZ Conference]
Rural Fire Responsibilities in Marlborough
The total land area in the Marlborough District comprises of 1.7 million hectares or thereabout. Rural Fire is managed by two separate bodies:
On this particular day two major fires started simultaneously in Marlborough North. The first at Canvastown at 17:16 hours and a second fire at Snake Point in the Marlborough Sounds at 17:43 hours. Then on Saturday 11 March at 18:30 hours, a further fire was responded to at McLarens Bay in the Marlborough Sounds involving a commercial tree crop. This fire was extinguished by 2 Helicopters and two fire crews.
The Ruapeka fire at Canvastown occurred on 8 March 2006. The fire was first reported at 17:16 hours. In the initial response the Fire Service sent two Fire Service appliances from Havelock and Rai Valley. The Havelock Fire Service appliance was the first to arrive at 17:33 hours, 17 minutes after the first call was received in the Fire Service call centre in Christchurch. On arrival the Havelock Fire Service Officer called for additional appliances. One further Fire Service appliance was responded from Renwick together with a Marlborough District Council Water tanker and the Linkwater Rural Fire Force. The Canvastown Rural Fire Force arrived very early in the initial stages but their time of arrival was not recorded.
In the 3 month period leading up to the fire, the weather had been dry but considered normal for this time of the year. The weather readings taken at the Ral Valley weather station on the day of the fire were as follows:
Temperature 18.6
There was a strong North West wind blowing at the fire site which resulted in a high intensity fast spreading fire especially through the gorse and scrub growing on the private property below the forest belonging to Weyerhaeuser. The fuels were very combustible with an abundance of available fine fuels. The scrub fire models were extreme.
At the time of the initial attack (1733) the fire was burning in scrub fuels. The RIMT estimated the rates of spread at around 2500 metres per hour with a fire intensity of around 20,000 kilowatts per metre. The RIMT estimated the rates of spread in the exotic forest slightly less than in the scrub fuels. The ROS in the Forest was around 500 metres per hour with fire intensity of around 6,000 kilowatts per metre. The drop off in wind strength and a reduction in temperature over night did reduce fire intensity and fire spread which enabled the crews to contain the fire.
Eight houses were identified as a possible risk from the fire. The residents of these houses were evacuated by the Police and Fire Service personnel during the initial attack. In addition to this there were one or two temporary residents living in an old bus and another person living in a tent within the fire perimeter which were also evacuated.
The total area burnt was 215.4 hectares, 133 hectares of exotic forest and a further 82 hectares of scrub and grassland. The fire threatened eight houses and delayed traffic on highway 6 the Blenheim to Nelson highway. The mop up continued for a further 14 days and many fire crews were away from their normal contracts and employment for this period of time.
The initial response came from three Fire Service appliances and two Volunteer Fire Force units and staff from Weyerhaeuser. The Marlborough RIMT was notified at 21:30 hours with the team arriving at the fire site at 22:45 hours. By 23:00 hours the fire had made its main run and by this time the RIMT was in place. Containment of the fire at this point was achievable, the wind had dropped away to nothing and the temperature had dropped down into single figures.
The RIMT started by collecting the number of resources on site, where the resources were and mapping the fire perimeter. The team then produced a situation report and started developing an incident action plan for the day shift which was to take over the operation at 06:00 hours the next morning. During the night, fire crews continued to secure the perimeter and respond to a number of flare ups. The fire was contained on two flanks by two forestry roads, highway 6 (Blenheim to Nelson) and at the head of the fire by a native beech forest; it was our objective to contain the fire within these boundaries. Crews were placed on the roads with instructions to contain the fire within the set boundaries and not to allow fire to jump across the road. During the night we still had to protect the houses that were still threatened by fire which by this time were a little subdued but still a risk to the houses. Traffic on the highway especially at night was a real issue as we had diggers, fire appliances and crews working from the highway. The RIMT worked well we had a team of seven initially and as we got operations under way we dropped two off at around 02:00 hours. I think it would be fair to say that on reflection the RIMT should have been engaged much earlier than it was.
It would have been easier to pick up the threads earlier in the night and make arrangement for the next day before people went to bed. The team made a decision not to phone crews before 04.30 hours, to let them sleep so they would wake up at least having had some uninterrupted sleep.

Excellent interagency co‑operation. Good water supply in Pelorus River Overnight wind speeds at around 3 kph. Overnight temperature as low as 5 oC. Gale force winds predicted for Thursday did not eventuate. Distance of travel to the fire from Blenheim or Nelson was short. Good support from Havelock community only 7km from fire ground.
4 houses within the fire perimeter. 4 houses just outside fire perimeter but threatened. State Highway 6 Blenheim to Nelson running along one flank of the fire. Skid sites with large quantity of buried, unburnt heavy fuels. Transmission lines ‑ Blenheims entire power supply running through the fire area. Narrow roads and tracks requiring good communication between crews driving around Fire area.
Excellent Regional interagency co‑operation between MarIborough and Nelson crews.
RIMT worked well and was essential in managing both fires but should have been responded much earlier.
Good communications; in this instance communications was not an issue.
CIMS structure worked well but not sufficient people in the RIMT at times.

Beachy head cliffs is ranked seventh most notorious suicide spot in the world (although London's Underground reportedly has up to hundred and fifty suicides annually). Located on the South Downs Way these Chalk cliffs rise to over 500ft (160m) above the sea and rocks below.
There is something about this place where earth meets water, air and dazzling light, a pan-dimensional rift that occasionally appears serrated from jagged cliff edge across to the rising event horizon.
The entire area is heavy patrolled. I've been here more than on one occasion and told both overzealous police and chaplaincy suicide look out team to piss off.
The local eating pub is also on the watch for potential cliff jumpers so don't be looking sad and drinking to much in there. Attached next door is a visitors centre which is well worth a visit if you find you've taken an interest in the area.
The retired residential light house half mile away to the west was a filming location for a mid eighties hit "She Devil" television series; subject matter which I thought rather humorous.
The above photos were taken by myself in the month of February, 2016.

A low-key Saturday turned into a celebration of sorts April 30, as patrons ate cake and were shown some recent changes to the Chugiak-Eagle River library. Donors were invited to the 3 p.m. event for the unveiling of a series of plaques, next to the front door, designed to recognize foundations, corporations and individuals that helped fund the building of the new library.
One change that was immediately noticeable is that the reference collection is no longer in the front corner of the library. It is being moved to the long wall at the back of the library. Instead, low shelves have been moved into the former reference area, effectively adding about 500 square feet to the children's area of the library.
"There was no floor space in the children's area," said Zane Treesh, the manager of the Chugiak-Eagle River Library. "We actually have less room here than we did at the old location."
With the additional space, Youth Services librarian Wendy Sparkman plans to create play, reading and education areas among the shelves to entice young imaginations and creativity.
Also in the works is an expansion to the outdoor book drop, Treesh said. Right now, the book bin is often overflowing, especially after holiday weekends when it is not emptied for three days. Not a big deal for patrons perhaps, but for staff, the extra bins will be a timesaver as well as reducing damage to books and media crammed into one bin.
"I feel like we are really settling into this space now," Treesh said, pointing out a new set of shelves that has been added to the adult fiction area. "We been here long enough to have identified areas, that with small improvements, can make a big difference both to the staff and to our patrons."
May, in fact, is a month of transition for Anchorage's public libraries. Generally there are no regular children's programs scheduled. Staff is ramping up for the Summer Reading Celebration, which encourages kids to read all summer long. Summer reading is important to maintaining the reading skills of students when school is out. Studies have shown that kids who read during the summer increase reading skills, putting them ahead of their non-reading peers when school begins.
Summer Reading kicks off May 14, with the Reading Rendezvous on the lawn at Loussac Library. This free event is great fun for kids, with dozens of booths, each with a hands-on, literary project for attendees. The whole family can sign up for summer reading too. Adults who read a book and submit a brief online review are entered into a drawing for prizes.
This weekend, May 7 and 8, is the Friends of the Library Spring Book Sale. What's not to like? Thousands of nearly new books, CDs, DVDs, Alaskana and antique books for great prices. Stock up with books for your kids' summer reading only $1 for hardbacks and 50 cents for paperbacks. Even better on Sunday everything is half price.
Toni Massari McPherson is the Community Relations Coordinator for Anchorage Public Library. For more information about the library and upcoming events, go to www.anchoragelibrary.org.

American Idol's Pia Toscano Signs With Interscope Records
Published 11:01 am, Wednesday, July 6, 2011
It was announced this week that American Idol season 10 contestant Pia Toscano has been signed to Interscope Records. This is great news for Idol fans that were absolutely enraged about Toscano's early elimination during this past season's competition.
"I am thrilled to be joining the Interscope and 19 Recordings family," Toscano said in a press release. "Jimmy Iovine was an amazing mentor during my time on Idol and I'm looking forward to working with him and everyone at Interscope Records and 19 Recordings. This is a dream come true."
Toscano's debut single, "This Time" is set to be released digitally next Tuesday, July 12. The song was written by Esther Dean, who has written tracks for such artists as Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, and Katy Perry. The "acoustic guitar and beat-driven" track is said to be only a taste of what fans can expect off of Toscano's debut album, which is slated to be released later this year.
Fans will be able to hear the singer perform "This Time" during the American Idols Live! Tour, which kicks off tonight at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah.
For more information on Pia Toscano, check out her official website. To find out when the American Idols Live! Tour is coming to your town this summer, check out American Idol's official website.
