Photographer's Note
Kangchendzonga and the range.
Also spelt as Kanchanjangha or Kanchenjunga(8586 m).
Kang-chen-dzo-nga or Yang-chhen-dzö-nga are four Tibetan words. In Sikkim they are interpreted as Five Treasuries of the Great Snow.
This mountain is a religious place to the local people as it holds an important status in mythology.
Kangchendzonga is the third highest peak of the world. It was considered as the highest peak till 1852, when GTSI (Great Trigonometric Survey of India) declared Mount Everest as the highest mountain.
Fatal accidents on first two expeditions (1929 and 1931) gave Kangchendzonga a reputation for unusual danger and difficulty. No one else attempted to climb it until 1954. In 1955, a British expedition led by Charles Evans reached the top, but the team stopped within a few yards of the actual summit to honour the religious beliefs and wishes of the Sikimmese.
Peaks visible in the picture are ---
from Right : Narsing, Pandim and Kangchenjunga in the middle,
then Talung, Kabru and Kumbhakarna.
Shot at Kaluk, West Sikkim, India.

Hello Alekhya,
The beauty of the Himalaya is magic, especially at a moment like this when the last (or first?) rays of the sun hit the highest peaks and turn them into gold. This is a well composed and well exposed photo in four layers.

Namaste Alekhya
Marvellous image from high up in the Himalayas, battling high altitude and sub zero temperatures. Gorgeous the way the dawn light is creeping over the snow peaks yet it is still so cold and what can I say about the pinkish red hot! You must be over the moon with this shot and judging by this shot it was worth the hard work. My compliments
P/s tx to your positive crit on my last upload.
Kind regards
Super light effect in snowy mountains
very nice, a perfect image.
liked it very much, tebikler

Hi Alehhya
What a sight this is! I can only imagine how aw inspiring it is to stand here and witness this for yourself, so thank you for taking the time to take the image of it too. The light has illuminated the mountain tops with a beautiful gold hue, and the raising of the light from dark to bright from bottom to top adds tremendous depth. Really nicely done, thanks for sharing.
All the best

Confederate Cemetery, Fayetteville; 360341N 0940908W
On College Avenue south of Fayetteville, approximately 0.1 miles after the Intersection of College and Mountain (on the right), turn east on Rock Street. This will be just as College starts down the hill and to the right. The road is hard to see until you're right on it, so you probably want to be in the turn lane (if heading south) assoon as you pass Mountain. There is a sign that directs you to the Confederate Cemetery, but it can only be seen from the south. :-) After you turn east on Rock Street, you will head down a steep hill, and you will come to an intersection (where you have a yield, if I remember correctly), and the road will go south and continue east. You will continue east and proceed up a LONG and steep hill. Just as you reach the top of the hill, the cemetery will be on the left.
You will be able to see the native stone wall around it as you approach the top of the hill. They don't allow car traffic (or I've never seen the gates open, at least), ut there are plenty of places to park by the gates. [Thanks to email@example.com for this info]
|---* Cowan Cemetery, Lincoln; 360355N, 942347W----19 MAY 2007
Also known as Mount View Cemetery
Go Highway 62 (runs west from Fayetteville to Lincoln). In Lincoln, go right on Washington County Rd 33. Go about 10 miles on Rd 33. If you arrive at Lake Wedington, you've gone too far. Located between Lincoln and Lake Wedington (near Fayetteville, Arkansas).
Watch the right side of the road for a small sign near the cemetery entrance. The sign is somewhat small and could be easily missed, so look carefully. Turn right onto the driveway near the sign, and go up a small hill.

Located 6 miles south of State Hwy 45 on Washington County Road 3. The turnoff from 45 to 3 is about 5 miles east of the intersection of 45 and State Hwy 59 (the intersection is at Dutch Mills). The road is on the south side of 45. Continue on 3 through Morrow. The road will turn to dirt approximately 4.5 miles after the turn off of 45. The cemetery is located on the right side of the road, almost exactly 6 miles from the turnoff. It is just after a curve to the right, so you have to watch closely. The cemetery is pretty well kept, considering its location. The most recent interment I could find is 1962, and there are burials as old as the late 1880s. Many of the stones are illegible, and there are quite a few fieldstones. [Thanks to email@example.com for this info]

Springdale; 361058N
This cemetery is located on the west side of Pleasant Street in Springdale, immediately across from the gym and football practice field. You will need to walk across some private property to get to it (I will get the house numbers at a later date), and it is common courtesy to ask before crossing. The cemetery is very old, and hasn't had any new burials since approximately 1889. It is likely this cemetery houses some of the founders of Springdale (then called Shiloh), but many of the stones are missing or removed from the graves. Add in the number of fieldstones or unmarked graves, and there could be any number of people here. The cemetery is maintained by the city, so it should not be a problem getting through it.

There are signs pointing the direction to the Fayetteville National Cemetery. This road will lead directly into the cemetery. Just as you enter the main gates, there is a brick building to the left. In the breezeway of this building is a book with an alphabetical listing of all interments. It will specifically tell you which section and number where the deceased is located. Around the cemetery, they have small markers along the road signifying which section is which. I could not find a map anywhere on the premises, but one may be available during normal business hours. Just before you enter the main gates, there is a road that goes to the right. They recently opened this section,and many of the more recent interments are located here. I believe they start with section 25. The cemetery is very well maintained, as many national cemeteries are. [Thanks to Rosa Cline for this info]

When you see that sign, there is a service road on the right (west) side of the road coming to a dead end. The service road will dead end & keep following it. There is a sign there that says county maintenance ends. At this point, the pavement ends and it is gravel. You have to drive across a dry creek bed, low water crossing. You will come to some mailboxes on the right. You go past those to the next set of mailboxes & 2 houses. (about 100 yards) You will be in the private drives of these two houses at this point. The cemetery is located on a flat spot on the ridge of a hill. [Thanks to Darren Jerome for this info]

From US Hwy 71 in Fayetteville, take the exit for US Hwy 62. Depending on which way you are coming will depend on where you go next. There is a feeder road on the west side of Hwy 71 called Shiloh. You will want to take this road and head north. If you were heading south when you took the exit, just turn right at the stop sign at the end of the exit. If you were heading north at the time, you will need to go under the overpass (heading west), and turn north at the first stoplight on the west side of the underpass. About 0.1 miles north on Shiloh, you will turn west on Old Farmington Road. The turn is between Hampton Inn and Park Inn Limited. The cemetery is located approximately 0.3 miles down this road on the left. It has a nice arch with the name of the cemetery on it, along with a chain link gate. Inexplicably, when I was there last, the gate was closed, but there is no fence around the cemetery. :-) Don't know exactly what they were trying to accomplish. The cemetery is reasonably well maintained, and there didn't seem to be a lot of fieldstones or unmarked graves.

I don't usually put my Christmas decorations up until the end of November but I am mighty tempted to put them up sooner this year. Not sure why I'm in such a Christmassy mood already but I might as well embrace it. :-)

Healthy, happy Doan enjoying goal-scoring resurgence
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Shane Doan is off to the second-best start of his 18-year NHL career as far as goal scoring. With eight goals in his first 18 games, the Coyotes captain is on pace to eclipse his career-high for goals in a season, which was 31 in the 2008-09 season.
Oh, yeah. Doan turned 37 in October. What gives?
Article continues below ...
"Honestly, I feel young again," he said.
There are multiple reasons for that feeling.
"His mind is fresh and his body is healed," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "He had some medical issues taken care of in the off-season, and then, when you look at how hard he's worked to help this franchise find stability here and all the hours he put in during the lockout, he's had a lot on his plate the past couple seasons."
Doan had double-hernia surgery this summer that he admitted Monday had actually been bothering him for two seasons, not just last season.
"When you're hurt, you feel older," he said. "Everything is a big effort. It feels like work."
Doan suffered his first hernia in 2000, then another in 2001. Those were surgically repaired with an old medical technique where mesh is used to fix the tears. The mesh has a shelf life of 10-12 years, so Doan finally saw a Philadelphia-based doctor this summer to undergo another hernia repair procedure that has done wonders for his body.
So has the absence of the ownership saga, which dragged on for four years. Doan rolls his eyes when asked how many times he was asked about the club's long-term prognosis in the Valley. But the blessing and curse of being Shane Doan is that he answered the questions every time, with the same polite and respectful tone you always get from him, even if he secretly wants to strangle you.
Now that those physical and mental hurdles are in the past, Doan is approaching the next chapter of his career like a kid at recess. But it also helps that the Coyotes brought in center Mike Ribeiro to aid the power play, while defensemen Keith Yandle and Oliver Ekman-Larsson have matured into the offensive catalysts the team envisioned when they drafted both.
"I've said it before, but when you look at our back end, those guys don't get enough credit," Doan said. "When you take the reins off of them and let them get after it, they do amazing things."
Tippett can't speak for how Doan was used by previous coaches, but it's possible that Doan is finally getting a chance to maximize his goal-scoring opportunity because of the personnel that surround him.
"This is probably the most skill he's had in a group to play with when you look at Ribeiro (Antoine) Vermette, (Ekman)-Larsson and Yandle," Tippett said. "The skill level of our group is a little higher and everybody gets dragged into that, everybody gets opportunities from it."
Those opportunities increase with the man advantage. Five of Doan's eight goals this season have come on the power play, That, Doan notes, feels doubly special "after I got shut out in that department last season."
Ribeiro clearly draws attention when he has the puck, but so do Yandle and Ekman-Larsson, which might be creating just a little more space for Doan, who Tippett also thinks is a step quicker with his health in order.
"When you look at those three key guys, they're all left-handed passers, and he's a right-handed shooter, so you can easily put those two things together and figure out why he's finding opportunities," Tippett said. "But he's taking good shots, too, and he's been good at net front (setting up screens). He's done it a lot on the power play, and Yandle and Ekman-Larsson have gotten a lot of pucks through (for redirects or rebounds)."
Six of Doan's eight goals have come with a Yandle assist attached, but Yandle insists he isn't looking for Doan any more than he usually does.
"I always look for him. I know whenever he's on the ice because he can make a difference in a game," Yandle said. "I just think pucks are finding him more, and I don't know if he gets enough credit for how hard his shot is and how good it is. He works on it every day after practice, and he's 37 years old, which says a lot about the kind of player he is."
Doan admits that not scoring in his first five games, and only netting one in his first nine, was frustrating, even if he thinks the well-worn narrative of his slow starts is a bit overplayed.
"Sure it was frustrating. It was driving me crazy," he said. "In the end it doesn't matter if we're winning, but I love scoring goals. I really love scoring goals, and it just wasn't happening."
Goalie Mike Smith and goalie coach Sean Burke both noticed that most of Doan's shots were ending up between two and three feet off the ice where a goalie's hands can easily grab them. Now Doan is working on keeping the shots low or high.
Doan has never been a 35-goal scorer and has only reached 30 twice. While he would like to score 30 again, he isn't nearly as hung up on that as he was earlier in his career.
"When you get older you just understand that there are more important things," he said. "I know who I am as a scorer and as a player, and I'm comfortable with it."
Tippett was asked if there will come a time soon when Doan, the face of this franchise for a decade, will have to accept a lesser role.
"I haven't seen anything to indicate that's where it's headed," he said. "If you're a team playing against, us he's still one of the key guys you look at."
But Doan knows that day has to come.
"It's good to hear Tip isn't seeing any reason to do it now," he said, laughing, "but when that day comes, I'll be OK with it. As long as I can still contribute."

Chacon pregame interview
Game 4 starter talks about pitching in the postseason
By / MLB.com
SHAWN CHACON: I think the biggest thing was realizing that I was being put in a situation to win and knowing that I might not get an opportunity like this and just getting a chance and trying to run with it.
Coors Field, was that a factor, too?
CHACON: Yeah, obviously. I mean, you can ask anybody that's ever pitched there that they don't want to make a living there or want to try to.
I think getting out of there and having an opportunity to pitch every day in a decent environment, decent pitching environment, it helps, I'm not going to lie.
Is there any way, looking back in the spring, that you could ever imagine that you would be pitching what could be a decisive game in Yankee Stadium for the Yankees this weekend?
CHACON: No. I would never have thought that this spring, no chance. You go into the season thinking about having a good year, staying healthy all year and obviously being with the Rockies, you don't know what's going to happen.
Having grown up in Colorado and been drafted and playing in an organization and going through some tough times there, was there almost a feeling of graduating, coming to New York and getting out of a place you had never been for so long and maybe people had already made judgments about you with the Rockies?
CHACON: Absolutely. That was one of the biggest things I felt was good for me was that I was getting out of my home, out of the shadow of friends and family and really getting a chance to go somewhere where not only other people could see me pitch, but I could see for myself what I was capable of.

Read about new hires, promotions, retirements and board election results in the credit union industry.
The credit union industry is leading the way with green initiatives, from small shops to the NCUA.
Nov. 5 may have been Bank Transfer Day but AmeriCU had some other priorities — supporting the troops and its members by taking part in the re-organized Central New York Veterans Day Parade & Expo.
The first 90 days after a new member signs on have taken on new meaning as the industry continues to experience slowed membership growth.
The 110,000 members of AmeriCU Credit Union can now plan to manage their finances online with the Geezeo personal financial management solution, the company and credit union said.

Welcome back Trillion!
This is a well-thought out OP. We are deeper and better than we were before the Melo trade. The luck involved in Lin coming to the forefront and the savvy of the FO in drafting smartly are the reasons we can claim to be in a better position.
We don't have Melo or Jorts back and we beat a good team like Dallas. This really bodes well for us going forward.
I still can't believe my eyes as I'm watching Lin to the things he's doing in these games.
Good thread.

Results for Starch plates
- Add 5mL of iodine
- 1A1 or IA751 : big zones of clearance
- IA751 + ECE112 : no zones of clearance (photos), just small white points on colonies : the gene AmyE seems to be knocked out, transformation ok!
- 1A1 + ECE112 : problem, soft agar melted... impossible to observe!
Transformation of IA751
- We used IA751 plate from 12/08/08, vectors ECE 153, 166, 171
- Spectrophotometer : blank made with medium A
- t0 = 120min
- Follow the protocol of transformation
- Plasmid miniprep of ECE153, 166, 171 (to make the transformation)
- Nanodrop ( to add 0.5μg of DNA for transformation)
- Plate (with appropriate antibiotics)
Check our stock of ECE171
- We made big stocks of ECE171, before keeping it, we wanted to check it, so we run double digest on a gel!!
- Results : problem!!
- 2 possible causes : Double digest was made " days before and kept in the freezer (possible degradation) + too much DNA on the gel
- New double digest (from pellets in the freezer) + new gel
- Results : ok!
Glycerol stocks
- for IA751 and IA771, add 100μL of culture and 500μL of glycerol (60%)
Xylose experiment
- To test the transformation of ECE153, we want to induce the promoter Pxyl, and we will have green fluorescence
- Add 1mL of culture IA751 + ECE153 (from yesterday), 8mL of LB and 45μL of Spc50, 1mL of xylose (1g into 10mL)
Plasmid miniprep for B.S.
- We first tried to use the same protocol than for E.coli (Zyppy kit) for ECE166 transformed in IA751
- Nanodrop to see the result
- We have very low concentration of DNA, we will digest that plasmid tomorrow morning to see if it is ECE166, and if it does work, we will try to modify our protocole tomorrow
Transformation of ECE188, 189, 190 in E.coli

Cuban Coffee or Cafecito
YIELD: Makes 6 servings
- Espresso ground coffee
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Special equipment:Stovetop espresso maker
Fill a 6-cup stovetop espresso maker with water and coffee according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to pack down the coffee. Place the espresso maker over moderate heat.
While the coffee is brewing, place the sugar in a tall container with a spout, such as a liquid measuring cup. As soon as the coffee starts to fill the reservoir, pour about 1/2 tablespoon of coffee over the sugar and return the espresso maker to the heat.
Using a spoon, beat the sugar and espresso until the mixture turns a pale beige color and most of the sugar granules begin to dissolve, about 1 minute. The mixture may seem a bit dry at first, but keep beating, and it will come together.
Once all the coffee has been brewed, slowly pour the coffee over the creamed sugar, stirring to make sure all the sugar dissolves. A thin layer of sugar foam (crema) should float on top of the coffee. Pour the coffee into espresso cups and serve immediately.
cook's notes:
Stovetop espresso makers come in several sizes. This recipe is written for the 6-cup version, yet you can substitute any other size simply by adjusting the amount of coffee and sugar used. Ultimately, the coffee's sweetness is up to you.
Making the sugar crema is the technique that defines Cuban coffee. You cannot overbeat the sugar, so err on the side of beating too much. If you accidentally pour too much coffee into the sugar, continue with the beating process, as you will still achieve sugar foam.

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland
I unsuccessfully went pro se against the other party who had a lawyer. When I filed, I filed motions to waive the court costs. I am now required to pay these court costs and received a bill from the court and a letter that said, if I don't pay, the matter will be referred to an administrative judge. I am unemployed and can't pay the costs. What should I do?
Asked on 8/22/12, 12:41 pm

Robert Sher Wagshal and Sher
You might try writing a letter to the clerk explaining your situation and requesting a continued waiver of the court costs. If that is rejected, and you expect to be re-employed, perhaps they would defer collection until then. If you are ordered to appear before a judge, you could use that opportunity to explain your situation and work out a solution.

Today's Look: North Aurora Twins with Cerebral palsy are making progress with experimental treatments. Now if only their insurance would pay for them.
Bob Gerrard - Chronicle photo staff
Kerri Branson of North Aurora plays with her 3-year-old son, Luke, after a physical therapy session in their living room on Thursday. Luke and his twin brother, Zach suffer from cerebral palsy. Five days a week, the boys sit in a special metal chamber at an alternative clinic in Arlington Heights, breathing in pure oxygen. Kerri thinks the treatments - coupled with intensive therapy - are behind the miraculous progress Luke and Zach have made in the last few weeks.
Fighting for her sons
fund-raiser to be held in Batavia on Saturday.
By DAN CHANZIT
"It's amazing," Kerri marveled, as three therapists worked with her
sons that day in the family's living room.
"I'm not doing anything — this is all him," therapist Barb Buckham told Kerri that day, pointing out that Zach could now lick a lollipop with minimal help.
Two years later, the treatments still help.
One thing has changed, though. Those oxygen treatments used to be very expensive. Insurance previously did not pay for the sessions because they were experimental.
Kerri won that battle. She faxed the insurance company records and reports showing the advances the boys had made after treatments.
Insurance adjusters changed their coverage.
"They pay for it now," Kerri said, smiling. "After we had 80 treatments under our belts, I faxed them a 20-page letter. I showed the company all the good that has happened, how much money they saved by us not having to go to the hospital. I won that battle."
That was when the Bransons visited a doctor's office in Arlington Heights. The boys did not tolerate the treatment well, so the Bransons sought a new clinic with better equipment.
"They used to cry the whole time," Kerri said. "They were very frightened of the big metal tank."
Now they travel to a clinic in Naples, Fla., that has better equipment. The tanks are built so Kerri can sit inside them with her boys.
"It's just like laying down in bed and watching TV with my boys," she said.
The Bransons considered moving to Florida to cut the cost of treatment, but they
said they could not leave their friends and family.
"We need a lot of help, and we have a lot of help," Kerri said.
"It's teamwork," Scott said.
Insurance covers the cost of treatment, but it does not cover travel, food and lodging. That prompted the Bransons to host a fund-raiser.
The event is from 2 to 10 p.m. April 12 at the Eastside Community Center in Batavia. The event features live bands, food, raffles and an auction. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children.
Two years ago, the Bransons hosted a similar event.
"It's hard asking people for money," Scott said. "I have a hard time with it."
Kathy Freedlund of Batavia, a family friend and a former neighbor, has helped organize the fund-raisers.
"People really like to rally around people who need help," Freedlund said. "I can't believe the outpouring of donations. That's how I know why I live here. I was born and raised here, and this is a great place to raise a family."
The Bransons have been in Naples all week for a series of treatments before the fund-raiser.
On Thursday, there was another miracle.
Zach said, "I love you," to his mother for the first time while sitting inside the oxygen chamber.
"He said it three times," Freedlund said. "The boys don't say anything, really. They say 'hi' sometimes. And he said it three times. That's really cool. Kerri said it was totally worth the trip to Florida."

In response to requests from Plumbing Manufacturers Intl. (PMI) and its members, as well as from other supporters of the U.S....
Flash Intense Light Used to Eliminate Microbial Contamination
Culligan International Co. and PurePulse Technologies, a subsidiary of Maxwell Technologies, Inc., announced that Culligan and PurePulse have entered into an agreement to collaboratively develop water purification systems that employ PurePulse's proprietary PureBright pulsed light technology to eliminate microbial contamination. PurePulse initially will receive license fees based in part on certain development milestones and, ultimately, would receive royalties based on product sales.
The PureBright process, which also is used in bioprocessing an medical product sterilization applications, employs brief flashes of broad spectrum pulsed light 90,000 times more intense than sunlight at sea level to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and other microorganisms that can transmit disease.
"Culligan's unmatched brand recognition, development capabilities and global marketing and distribution network make it the ideal collaboration partner for PurePulse," said Tec Toch, president and chief executive officer of PurePulse Technologies.
The development agreement is consistent with the company's strategy of aggressively pursuing new technology to maintain its leading-edge position in the water treatment industry, reported Greg Norgaard, Culligan's executive vice president.
"The PureBright technology has demonstrated its ability to reduce microbial contamination, and we are very interested in applying it broadly in water purification to include both consumer an commercial markets," he said.
In addition to working with Culligan to develop water purification systems, PurePulse is collaborating with several other companies to apply the PureBright technology for pathogen inactivation in the production of blood products, vaccines and biopharmaceuticals.

Stevens pleads guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor Wednesday
A Washington County resident has pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor.
Joshua Foster Stevens, 28, of Washington pleaded guilty on July 9 to the aggravated misdemeanor of sexual exploitation of a minor and was fined $625, his court record said.
On May 15, Stevens was arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, the court record said. This was stemming from an incident on May 12, when Stevens unlawfully and knowingly possessed electronic visual mediums of minors engaging in a prohibited sexual act.
Originally, he entered a plea of not guilty on June 24 but at a hearing on July 9 he entered his guilty plea, his court record said.
Stevens was given a suspended prison sentence of two years and will have two years of probation through the Iowa Department of Corrections, the court record said.
According to his court record, the terms of his probation include: complying with the treatment and evaluations the supervising officer recommends; not using any controlled substances or entering any establishments where the primary activity is the sale of alcohol; will not associate with anyone who has a criminal record; will actively seek and maintain employment; pay all restitution ordered; submit to toxicology testing through the Department of Correction al Services; and successfully complete the Sex Offender Treatment program.
He will also have to submit DNA to the Iowa Department of Corrections for DNA profiling, register within five days of his sentence with the county sheriff's department on the sex offender registry, and will have to notify the sheriff's department of where his main residence is, according to his court record.
Once his probation is finished Stevens will have a special sentence of 10 years of supervision as if he were still on parole with the Iowa Department of Corrections, his record said.

When Nights Were Cold is a book by Susanna Jones Published
01/03/2012 by Mantle.
I was fortunate enough to be given a copy of this book prior to publication to read and review. It might sound a bit strange but I was excited to be reading this book, this is the first book I have had prior to publication so it felt a little special to me.
The story is told by Grace Farringdon, a young lady who dreams of an Antarctic exploration and following the footsteps of her hero Ernest Shackleton. She can think of nothing better than pushing herself to her extreme limits.
The first stumbling block is getting out of her over protective home. Grace's parents want her to get married, run a household and look after her family but Grace has different plans.
Grace applies and gets accepted to Candlin to complete a science degree. After facing a battle at home to be able to attend the women's college Grace leaves her parents and her older sister, Catherine and finds herself nervous and alone in her room.
Once Grace has settled in at Candlin College she creates an Antarctic Exploration Society. The society is made up of four young ladies, Leonora Locke, Cicely Parr, Winifred Hooper and Grace Farringdon. During their weekly meeting the girls discuss how their trips would go and cover all the theory that is involved in an exploration. It is not long before the girls are desperate to put their theory into action and actually come face to face with the mountains.
Looking back, the memories from the mountains are terrifying but Grace has decided it is time for her to search the caves in her mind, to remember the past and re-live the events that went on to shape her future.
I could not begin to imagine what life was like for these girls being expected to watch life pass them by when all they wanted to do was get out there and enjoy life.
This is a story where I could not put myself in the position of the characters, but I think that is mainly because being cold and climbing mountains does not appeal to me. A lack of appeal for the hobby did not affect how much I liked this book though.
During the story there is a change in years quite regularly which did seem a little confusing at times but even still it was not too hard to catch up in my mind.
I also felt that there could have been more to the story, it had the potential to be a fantastic book but instead it was a good book.
This being said though I still really enjoyed reading this book, it was exciting, interesting and had a small amount of romance. I would read this book again as I feel that there were parts to the story that I may have missed and feel I would enjoy reading this book again.
I would recommend this book to someone who would like an easy and interesting read.
I flew through this book, it is the type of book that I would like to sit curled up in an armchair by a roaring fire whilst I relaxed and enjoyed the story unfolding in front of me.
This review is also on Ciao under the same name. Thank you for reading.

If I am not for myself, then who is for me?
If I am for myself alone, then who am I?
Growing older without a community of like-minded souls around you is like baking bread without salt. Life loses its savour and then you don't eat enough to be nourished.
Friendship is like an expanding ring of ripples in a pool of clear water.
You are the centre, because if you don't make friends with yourself, for all your imperfections and irritating ways, you'll find it almost impossible truly to befriend others.
The next ring is your intimate circle, your life partner if you have one, those friends and family you are closest to. (And please don't kid yourself here: sometimes the friends and family members you have most to do with are not those closest to you. I'm talking here about connection at an intimate level.)
Next is your circle of acquaintances: work colleagues you get on with, remote family, fellow members of your local activist group, the plumber you can rely on not to rip you off, the vet who nurses your pet through its last illness and witnesses your tears. Also, if you are so inclined, all those people you know only through online communities, blogs and so on.
Then we come to the people in your life who you may wish were not in your community! That belligerent boss, the intrusive cousin who never allows you time to yourself, perhaps the ex-husband you have to see occasionally because of the kids.
But you know it's a funny thing about our ripples of water. It only takes a breeze or a bird to stir the water and change the direction of those ripples, mash them together or skim them out to the side of the pool.
Friendship is like that. We might feel such a close connection with someone we only know online that they become part of our inner circle; we might slowly grow apart from a close friend who changes direction.
And there's one more factor: as we grow older, friends who are our contemporaries begin to get ill, and we will experience the heart-wrenching sadness of losing friends to death. In a memorial for those who died in the terrorist attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001, a speech was read on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. It included this phrase:
Grief is the price we pay for love

MARC Run supporters came through again
Dear editor,
The 13th Annual MARC Run was held Saturday. This benefit, hosted annually by the Bad to the Bone Riders, the MARC Center Board, our community and friends, Raises money to benefit the consumers of MARC in Rockdale.
The ride has grown from a few local bikers interested in lending a hand to a major opportunity for bikers from all over the United States to enjoy a day of riding and fellowship and help some dearly loved people.
An auction in the afternoon and this year a BBQ meal was offered for sale to the public to allow those who don't own a bike but wanted to participate.
The community once again shined through by donating items to the auction, attendance, purchasing plates, purchasing auction items and lending a hand in any way.
The morning saw over 70 bikes and 28 passengers through town as they headed out to their first destination on a four-stop tour.
The riders returned to the final stop and were greeted by the smell of BBQ plates.
The auction was once again the highlight of the day as John Fisher of Rockdale entertained the crowd.
Most exciting part is presenting the check to the MARC Center Board and consumers.
This year, Bad to the Bone Riders are proud to present $30,407.50, with more money coming in, to the MARC Center.
With this years total MARC has received $167,000 over 13 years. We appreciate all of our sponsors, helpers and our friends, and those who keep coming back to ride and participate every year.
Thank you all for making this the best year yet.
Love the Bad to the Bone Riders.

Biodiversity Survey part 5: Making a Collection
Lesson 7 of 9
Objective: Students will be able to complete their work on the biodiversity survey project by creating a tangible product to showcase their observations and write a thoughtful reflection on the experience of being an amateur naturalist
This lesson covers the final part of the biodiversity survey project, which is to make some sort of collection to organize some of the observed specimens in a somewhat more tangible way than the inaturalist website.
If this is your first look at any part of this project, you might want to start at the beginning to make sense of what's happening here. The descriptions of how I implement this entire project in class are spread out over 5 lessons:
- Community Mapping and Introduction to iNaturalist
- Observing and Identifying Local Species
- Citizen Science
- Managing a Long Term Project
- Making a Collection
Unlike some of the other lessons in this sequence that actually can occur in a single class day, this is the cumulative part of the project and covers many, many days of actual class time. Therefore, the focus here is really explaining the ways that students can tie the whole project together with a tangible product and a reflection on the entire experience of participating in the biodiversity survey project.
So, after completing the requirements of the digital portion of the biodiversity project, students write a final reflection piece that will be included with their finished product which can be either:
- an insect collection
- a plant collection
- or a field guide
All of these options are described in the initial project description worksheet which I distribute on the second lesson in the sequence, but I will describe each option in more detail in the sections below. Although the online portion the project (uploading observations to our iNaturalist project) described in previous lessons required students to individually upload 10 observations, they could choose to make their field guide, insect or plant collection in a group of up to 3 members. Most students chose to complete their collections in groups, but a few students chose to make their own individual projects.
Connection to Standards:
In this lesson, students will conduct research to answer questions and solve problems, acquire and use domain-specific vocabulary, and produce clear and coherent writing describing their experience working on the project.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
As you'll see in the sections that follow, I didn't give a whole lot of guidance to my students on the actual collection part of the project. In a sense, as this was the final project of the year, I was eager to see what they could accomplish on their own. For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised and this segment of the project became a kind of lesson in laissez-faire teaching for me. In short, I gave my students some basic guidelines and sat back and watched what they accomplished on their own.
Coming from the project description worksheet, the requirements for the insect collection option were described as such,
An insect collection consisting of at least 8 insects mounted, numbered, and identified. The 8 insects must all be from separate species. (please note: although spiders, centipedes, pill bugs (aka "rollie pollies"), etc, are not technically insects, they belong to the phylum arthropoda and can be part of this collection)
And that was it.
So how did I help get students from there to a finished collection?
1. I provided a few resources for my students:
- insect collecting nets
- small, medium, and large insect pins (I used size 00, size 3, and size 5)
- a set of Audubon Society insect and spider field guides to help identify their collections
- modeling foam board from an art supply store (so that the collected insects could be pinned into the box)
- cigar boxes (generously donated by the Buena Vista Cigar Club in Beverly Hills)
2. I provided instructions on making and using a "Kill Jar":
- Obtain and clean out some kind of small jar (preferably clear, colorless glass so that photos may be easily taken of insects in the jar). Some students brought in small jars such as baby food jars, but I found it all around easier to use a slightly larger jar such as one for jelly or pasta sauce.
- Carefully douse about 2 to 3 cotton balls (depending on the size of the jar) with nail polish remover fluid. (I demonstrated how to do this in class because I didn't want anyone actually pouring the nail polish remover into their jar).
- Seal up the jar tightly with the lid (unlike the jars little kids make to make "firefly lanterns", you can't punch holes in the lid of a kill jar if you want it to do its job)
- When the time comes, place the unfortunate specimen into the jar and seal it (please note that this can be very troubling for some students. The experience of watching an insect die in her jar was so traumatic for one student that she said that even though she routinely squashed bugs without a second thought, she felt like a "murderer" and decided to do the plant collection instead)
3. Finally, and most importantly, I gave them lots of time and got out of the way:
- I took about an hour on several class days to essentially repeat lesson 2 of the project and took students outside. Students were very enthusiastic about throughly searching every nook and cranny of the campus for insects.
- On other days, I gave students plenty of class time to use the identification guides to identify their collected insects, to make their collection box, and to use any available resource to deepen their learning (one of my favorite moments in this or any other project was when a group of students gathered around to watch a youtube video on how to pin insects into a collection box. I neither suggested they take this route nor even knew the video existed, it was an entirely student-generated strategy and was a fantastic example of students practicing the skills necessary to be lifelong learners and problem solvers in an information-saturated society)
To label their specimens with identifications, most students hand wrote identifications on index cards and then cut the label out of the card and glued it into the box next to the specimen. Next time I do the project, however, I'm going to suggest to students to type their identifications and then print and cut out the labels because the handwritten labels had to be so small (and some students wrote them directly on the foam) they turned out looking a little bit messy in an otherwise well organized collection that represented substantial time and effort.
Resources (8)
Resources (8)
Much like the insect collection option, the plant collection requires a few resources and a lot of time to let students figure it out for themselves.
From the project description,
A plant collection (leaves, flowers, seeds, etc.) consisting of at least 8 specimens mounted, labeled, and identified. Each specimen must come from separate species. The plant material should be affixed with adhesive to paper either on a poster display, individual sheets, bound as a book, or displayed in some other durable manner. Try and add as much plant material as possible (e.g., collecting a leaf, a flower, and a seed from a tree is better than just collecting a leaf).
The plant collection was less resource-dependent than the insect collection, all students really need is some acceptable paper, a way to press the plant material, and some adhesive.
- I purchased some watercolor paper from an art supply store. I chose it because it's very firm and durable and doesn't warp when exposed to glue or small amounts of water.
- I got some basic Elmer's glue from my school's art teacher and mixed it with a little water in a dissection pan (I used what was handy in class, any baking sheet or small pan would work). Students put their pressed plant material into the glue/water mix and then set it on the watercolor paper.
- Although it's possible to purchase or make a more elaborate press to flatten the plant material, I took a decidedly simple route: since I'm the department chair, I have several stacks of heavy science textbooks in a corner of my classroom and had students carefully lay their plant material between two paper towels and then put that somewhere in the stack of books where they would be under a lot of pressure. After a few days, most plants were pressed suitably flat to be affixed to the paper.
- Additionally, I also provided Audubon Society field guides for wildflowers and trees to help students identify their collections. However, it should be noted that for this and the insect collection, students could also use the many guides available on iNaturalist to make their identifications so it isn't strictly necessary to have the hardcopies of the guides, though many students seemed to prefer using them.
Although some students chose to bind the pages of their plant collection into a small booklet, most preferred to make separate sheets (that incidentally made some natural art, suitable for framing) to display their specimens. Whether displaying their plants in a book or on separate sheets, most students carefully hand wrote their identifications (scientific and common names) directly onto the watercolor paper sheet.
Like the insect collection, students making the plant collection needed ample class time set aside to observe, collect, identify and organize the specimens in their collection. Keep in mind though that since it's essentially the same project, just with a different collecting focus, this work can take place concurrently while other students are working on their insect collections.
Please note, however, that because it takes several days for plants to be pressed flat enough to be mounted on paper, students should have their specimens ready for the press at least a week before the project is due if they hope to have it done in time.
Resources (5)
Perhaps the opportunity to make tangible collections was simply too tantalizing to pass up, but for whatever reason, I didn't have any groups choose to make a field guide.
From the project description, the field guide option was,
A "Field Guide" to the Ecology of Los Angeles (come up with an appropriate title) which includes descriptions and photos of at least 10 different species and 5 different ecological interactions. The field guide must consist of species in the following categories:
- At least 4 plants, including a flowering plant, a conifer, and a succulent
- At least 4 animals, including an insect, a spider, and a vertebrate (bird, fish, mammal, amphibian, or reptile).
- At least 1 fungus (lichens are ok too)
What I expected most student to do if they chose to make a field guide was to produce it digitally (either as a powerpoint or word document) and then print it out and bind it in a book form. Another option could have been to make it more of a "handmade" book with illustrations instead of photos, but this would have made an extra layer of work. It would have been fairly simple to drag their photos and copy their identifications and descriptions straight from their iNaturalist uploads and into another document, but again, none of my students chose this option. However, I would still include this option for this project in the future because I imagine that some students could make a quite interesting and useful guide to some of the biodiversity in their immediate neighborhood.
On the day before the final, when this project was due (both the 10 iNaturalist observation uploads and the insect or plant collection) we took 15 minutes to write an open-ended response to the question, "why did we do this project?"
This question wasn't asked to collect something for a grade (they were about to have a comprehensive assessment the next day), rather it was a chance for them to reflect on the "point" of the project and for me to collect some data on whether the project offered a successful path to the learning goals I had hoped the students would achieve.
Reading the student response below, I think it's clear that something valuable came from this extensive project, even if it's hard to put one's finger upon exactly what that was:
What I gained was exposure to something new. Not many projects have one observing their surrounding[s]. Besides the bug collection being a new project I have not done before, the process taken to finish the assignment has become a new outlet. Maybe the reason for this assignment was for that, creating a connection to our environment. Maybe the reason was to pick up a habit of being more observant and mindful of the other species which we share space with. Maybe it was to become familiar with some of the more common species around our area and to prepare us for more hands on activities. I'm unsure of the reason for the project besides the learning aspect but I enjoyed capturing these organisms in photographs. This captures the genius that occurs naturally without our interference. Overall it was a fun project and I feel that the learning from this project occurs while creating it. It isn't a project to show what one can do but to learn along the way and share the knowledge.
Ultimately, I think it's more important for students to share why their work was important than for me to tell them why it's important. Learning takes place when students connect the dots for themselves.

Four traveler's 5 hour journey to a small pottery village in Dhamrai, Bangladesh
Reaching the unfamiliar paths of Dhamrai, I looked beyond the horizon. My sister stood beside me, giddy with excitement. I was momentarily relieved to be far away from Dhaka city. Finally! I told myself. I needed this break however, short.
The Hunt for the Pottery Village
It took us one and a half hour to reach Dhamrai from Dhaka by bus. Now, as I talked to the village dwellers for directions to reach Nayarhat Bazaar, I couldn't help but feel safe. Dhamrai looked like a harmless village ready to embrace tourists.
Soon, my sister and I were on our way to Nayarhat Bazar by an auto. The auto driver seemed like a decent man as he explained to us the places where we could go. He charged us 6 taka each which was undoubtedly the best part of the ride. I mean who charges that low? Not even rickshaw pullers back in Dhaka!
Afterwards, he dropped us off in the middle of an isolated land and gave us further directions. We started on foot but after ten more minutes we reached nowhere. Excitement seemed to turn into a thin sheet of apprehension. Going back was not an option. At least not for me! Thankfully, after asking a lot of village dwellers we finally reached the Bazaar.
The Bazaar seemed to hustle and bustle in its own unique way. The dwellers must have been thinking what on earth we were doing there this early in the morning! But hey! It was 9'o clock in my defense. Everyone in the village seemed awake, doing their work; running their business. Despite all, there were no potteries or pottery making. So, we decided to recharge by having breakfast.
Humble Breakfast
We ordered dal, and scrambled eggs with paratha. We didn't really expect a sensational local cuisine or such. We knew what we were ordering 'A Simple Breakfast'. Our stomachs were growling by the time the food came but I should go a step ahead and say, "Never have I tasted paratha this pure and scrumptious". Perhaps it was the cooking oil or the hunger. But it was simply delicious.
Round and Round the Village
Our hunt for the pottery shops resumed. Although we knew the shops were close by, we took a lot of time finding it. It seemed to take numerous turns, relentless effort and heavy patience to find the pottery shops. Fortunately, we arrived at our target destination.
Making Potteries
My sister wasted no time after a minute or two of watching the beautiful way of making potteries. She jumped in to make some. Believe me when I say that this skill of pottery making is a difficult one. You need patience and determination to do it. My sister's pottery making was a success. Mine, however, was a failure. All the mud shaping ended up like a mesh of goo! After a couple of more attempts, I gave up. Sadly, this task was not for me.
The Art of Pottery Making
The art of pottery making is indeed a very interesting one. After they are made, they are left in the Sun to dry. Then, they are kept beautifully in a burn room. The fire is then kindled. Unfortunately, I didn't witness the pots burning if that is what you are thinking. All the pots were already burned or drying in the sun.
Anyway, this burning process hardens and darkens the color of the pot. Finally for the finishing touches the rim of the pot is added meticulously. These potteries are made which plenty of love and care. The sad part is that even if pottery making is a part of the village dwellers tradition, it still is a poor way to make an income.
Moreover, people are buying less pottery every year and therefore, villagers fear that soon their pottery making business might end.
Back to the Highway by a Boat
Two of my friends bought two small pots and we headed back home with peace in our minds and smiles on our faces. We had a shift of perspective that made us appreciate everything that we had in life. One that put me in deep contemplation.
As I sat on the edge of the boat and looked beyond the horizon, I realized that the survival of a society at some places depends upon the survival of traditions.
