Another Archive Deposited
Our archives team has been busy preparing archives for deposition, and yesterday saw the delivery of a batch to Hampshire Cultural Trust (formerly Hampshire Museums Service). At the request of David Wilson Homes, the landowners, we took selected finds from our site at Marnel Park, Basingstoke, to the Willis Museum in Basingstoke for a photo opportunity. These included pottery, metalwork and shale objects from Romano-British settlement and cremation graves.
Lorraine Mepham and Catherine Coates from WA, and David Allen (right) from Hampshire Cultural Trust, were on hand to show the finds to Simon Kirk (left) of David Wilson Homes. Many photographs were taken, including some of the group arranged around a life-size model of the occupant of a Roman sarcophagus, rather disconcerting as he relates his life story! Thanks to David Wilson Homes, who as well as funding the excavation of Marnel Park and part-funding the publication, which also includes the adjacent site of Merton Rise (available to download from the WA website), have signed the necessary transfer of title, the archive will now be safely curated at the Hampshire Cultural Trust's store in Winchester.

Thames Archaeology Day
London Gateway Port's German Bomber Flies into
"Thames Archaeology Day"
On Saturday 12 October 2014 Graham Scott, Wessex Archaeology Coastal & Marine, gave a talk on the Junkers 88T discovered during dredging work for the new London Gateway Port to a packed public meeting at Southend Museum during their Thames Archaeology Day. Afterwards Graham manned a stand and showed a number of important finds recovered from the World War II aircraft to visitors to the event.
The photograph shows an x-ray of the Luftwaffe first aid kit found amongst the wreckage. This could have been used for makeshift operations – note the hacksaw!
A full colour booklet on the discovery, recovery and identification of the aircraft can be obtained from Thurrock Thameside Nature Park Visitor Centre.
Going, Going, Gone!
It will be a full house at the BIM and the 'ologies Breakfast workshop being run by Wessex Archaeology and Thomson Ecology. This event is now fully subscribed and has a waiting list.
However if you are not one of the lucky ones attending a summary of the keynote speakers presentations will be available on our website after the event. Watch this space!
Wessex at South Yorkshire Archaeology Day

London Archaeological Prize
Wessex Archaeology is proud to have had not one, but two of our publications shortlisted for the London Archaeological Prize 2014!
The London Archaeological Prize, administered by the London Archaeologist, aims to encourage a higher standard of writing and broader coverage of London's archaeology. The two WA publications nominated and shortlisted expand on the archaeological work that took place on the site of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The first publication (Renewing the Past: Unearthing the history of the Olympic Park site) provides a colourful overview of the changes to the landscape over time in a short book suitable for all ages. The second (By River Fields and Factories: The Making of the Lower Lea Valley), a monograph, provides a far more detailed analysis of the results from the archaeological and cultural heritage investigations conducted ahead of construction. Both books are available to buy online via Oxbow books.
Author of the two volumes, Andrew B Powell, and editor, Pippa Bradley, attended the awards ceremony last night at the London Archaeology Forum meeting, and were delighted to have been shortlisted for such a highly contested award. Our congratulations go to the winner Hazel Forsyth, Museum of London, for London's Lost Jewels: The Cheapside Hoard.

Placement Students in Sheffield
After having two wonderful work placement students at the Sheffield office over the summer – Lewis Greenway and Jack Malloy, who both made a valuable contribution to a number of projects – we will be taking on another four students between now and February 2015. Three of these will be coming to us from the University of Sheffield, whilst the other will be from Ridgewood School, Doncaster.
We will be giving them a taste of a range of commercial archaeological experiences including field excavation and recording, finds processing, geophysical survey, and working within the heritage sector.
We are very much looking forward to meeting and working with our new placements.
If you're interested in undertaking a work placement or wanting to take part in voluntary work with the Wessex Archaeology Sheffield office, then please email Lucy Dawson at firstname.lastname@example.com
Back to the Dockyard
As part of our ongoing work with the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust we were once again invited back to the dockyard and this time the weather favoured us! Our target of investigation on this occasion was a pickling pond which is believed to exist beneath the Wheelwrights House. Does it still remain in situ and if so how is it built and what condition is it in?
Firstly a little background. Initially build in the 18th century this pond would have formed an extension to the original Southern Mast Pond the extent of which was around 20 m east of the later one we found on our last visit. So what was it used for? Well in order to produce ships you need wood, and lots of it! This may have been sourced locally but with such vast quantities required the adjacent river would have provided an ideal route for delivering the necessary raw materials. In order to prepare the logs for use they would have first needed to be seasoned and this is where the pickling pond would have come in. Filled with brackish water the timbers would have been immersed and stored during which time sap would have been leached out and replaced by salt from the pond water which would have been provided via a series of culverts and tunnels connected to the adjacent river. Once adequately treated and dried, a process that would take many months, timbers would have been transported to the sawyers for use or stored for later use in the adjacent storehouses. The pickling pond therefore formed an essential role in the mechanism of the dockyard and the production of ships such as HMS Victory (1765), HMS Namur (1756) and HMS Unicorn (1824).
Today the pickling pond lies below the Wheelwrights Shop which was constructed in about 1780 and currently house timbers of the broken up 17th century Warship HMS Namur.
So, what were we expecting to find? Well, excavations carried out on the site over the last few years have suggested that the base would be formed of a timber grid, lined with puddle clay approximately 3 m below the existing ground levels. As to whether this construction pattern remained consistent was at the time unknown. This is why we were there. Future plans for the site need to take into consideration any underlying archaeological material and in order to do that architects, engineers and inspectors from English Heritage all need to know what remains. That way safeguarding measures can be put into place before, during and after development to ensure the survival of buried archaeological deposits.
So back to the excavation! With the assistance of the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust our Fieldwork Director David Britchfield opened Test Pit 6 on a bright and sunny day (although we were under cover within the existing Wheelwrights Shop so still a wee bit chilly!) in March. After marking out an area that measured about 3.5 m square the initial work began with the removal of the existing concrete slab – a somewhat noisy process! This needed to be done in haste as we immediately noticed the difference from our last visit – the site is now open! Numerous buses, school coaches and cars were starting to arrive and the coffee shop was about to open. The last thing they wanted was noisy workman in the next building. Thankfully the construction team from Spadeoak, pictured above, did a great job - the slab was out within the hour and morning tea could be taken in peace!
Using a small machine (we were rather restricted for room and height) we started to peel away at the upper layers which consisted of modern redeposited chalk and clay, carefully keeping an eye out for artefacts and changes in the soil sequence. Once we were down about a metre or so below the existing slab level the foundations for the Wheelwrights Shop became clearly visible cut into redeposited chalk that formed the upper fill of the pickling pond, as can be seen in the photograph below. 'Stop please Mr machine driver, we need to record this'!
Following recording we carried on removing the upper layers of fill and it wasn't long before the test pit began to get deep and things were getting, well, for want of a better word…..smelly. You see the pond has only been filled for a few hundred years. Organic material in such a wet environment takes time to break down and as it does it produces a rather pungent odour.
It was at this level that we also started to notice a difference in the colour and consistency of the soil – we were no longer in deliberate backfill, but in naturally formed silts and clays. In other words, the silted up base of the former working pond. To add to our discovery we had wood….and lots of it! Wood chips were frequent, as one would expect in a timber yard, but added to this we had sections of roundwood that had been deliberately cut and trimmed into large dowel-shaped pieces. We had found treenails! In excellent condition these treenails, a few of which are shown in the photograph above, would have been essential for the construction of ships and of course timber framed buildings and would have been used to fasten pieces of wood together. A great find considering part of the existing building was occupied by the Treenail Makers Workshop!
Now as we were so deep we needed to use a combination of steel sheet piles, props, steps and battered edges in order to get to the levels required, as can be seen below. Unfortunately this meant that space was rather limited at the base and our Fieldwork Director is not a slight man!
Be that as it may we struck gold….well brown really as at the very bottom of our test pit we located a large horizontal timber. Initial examination of the timber confirmed that it was in excellent condition, as can be seen from the two photographs below. The anaerobic environment of the lower sequence of deposits provides ideal conditions for preservation attested to by the frequency of wood chips and treenails within the higher deposits. The timber was sawn, appeared to be made from oak and measured 0.45 m in width with a depth of 0.10 m. Despite a thorough examination there was no indication any joint details or of vertical timber piles below this timber.
Of particular interest is that the timber was found alone. Chatting with Nigel Howard, the Historic Environment & Buildings Project Manager for The Historic Dockyard Chatham, he told us that previous geotechnical excavations to the south of the site suggested that the base of the pickling pond would have been formed using a grid of timbers with two (or more?) layers laid tangentially on top of each other at regular centres. This was confirmed during the earlier geotechnical works where the thickness of timber was recorded as being at least 0.90 m suggesting that the borehole drilled through more than one timber. The timber exposed in Test Pit 6 was also thinner much than originally expected. Its presence directly on top of a chalk bed may suggest that the base of the pickling pond was originally formed using shallower timbers, possibly in order to create a level formation?
So it had all been worth it! Not only did we located the base of the pickling pond we confirmed that the preservation conditions were excellent. Of course as with most forms of archaeological and historical enquiry as soon as you answer one question another three pop up! Where was the timber grid recorded to the south? Was the horizontal base supported on vertical piles? How does the construction of this pond compare with the larger Northern Pond and Southern Pond? Well the simple answer to that is that we may never know as we may not have another opportunity to investigate these levels. That said we now have a better idea as to how the pond was constructed. We are more informed of the preservation conditions and we know what levels the archaeological horizons start and finish. Armed with that information the engineers and architects have produced designs for the new development that enhance the present while protecting the past.
Coming soon - Works at The Historic Dockyard Chatham throughout the summer of 2014 including the excavation of part of the Southern Mast Pond and Brunel Canal.

BIM and the 'ologies
Heard about BIM? But what does Building Information Modelling actually mean for Archaeology and Ecology?
Wessex Archaeology and our partners Thomson Ecology will be hosting a breakfast workshop to do just that!
This informative event for BIM project managers is being held in London on the 2 December 2014 and will examine some of the ways in which we can lifecycle data throughout projects in a more efficient and collaborative way. This is a great opportunity for project managers to find out about how information from archaeology and ecology can be integrated to benefit both the historic and natural environment, as well as aiding the project process.
The workshop will feature talks from David Philp, who leads the UK 2050 BIM Task group, as well as the Head of BIM at Costain and speakers from both Wessex Archaeology and Thomson Ecology who will share their thinking on how BIM fits into our everyday working practices.
More details can be found here.
X-ray Machine on Low and High
The experiments to get the best images out of the x-ray machine have produced some useful results.
Producing a good x-ray relies on getting the x-rays to just pass through the material. You want them to pass through the slightly less dense areas and not to pass through the denser areas. This is how you pick up the internal structure. You have to judge the power so that the x-rays just pass through the material so that these differences in density are significant enough to affect the image on the x-ray plate.
The x-rays generated by the machine can produce lower energy secondary x-rays when they hit other things (like the bottom of the x-ray machine). These low energy x-rays can also affect the x-ray plate and fog the image slightly. You can put different filters in, in different places to remove these secondary x-rays but you have to judge it so that you get the best results.
I have been doing a lot of human bone, at the lower end of the exposure range of the machine. Bone is not very dense and lower energy x-rays are needed (between 65kv and 80kv). Having tried exposures with and without a filter underneath the plate, the general consensus is that the image is slightly sharper with the filter in place. However, putting a filter on top at these low kv values, produces a very 'thin' result (see figure 1) and detail is lost.
At the other end of the scale, you definitely need a top filter at high kv values. The image is very much fuzzier if you do not use a top filter when x-raying thicker metal (see figure 2). The trick has been to work out at what point you need to add the top filter. The cut-off point appears to be 100kv.

Classes. Whats the point?
I've read tons of tutorials, wrote many classes, used them, but I still can't figure out some OOP points.
I mean, I think I got the theory. It's a paradigm, a different way to think and solve a problem. I know all commom points: code reuse, encapsulation, better error handling, easier maintenance, inheritance, design by contract, better documentation, aggregation, composition, some design patterns...
That said, let's go to the real deal. Let's say I have the following:
- a database, and a class to access and query it.
- I have a table named person and another table named address
- Simple business rule: one person can have one or more address (home, work, delivery...), a simple one to many relationship
- I have a highlevel class for commom operations (CRUD). Each table has a class that is a extension from this one.
- Of course, each class (person and address) have their own methods: eg, getAddressByLocation or getPersonsByAge.
- Also there are a dozen views and a couple forms
All this is awesome and sure useful but... I can't stop thinking in the simplest case: listing some people. Yes because every row on the output table is made upon one class instance. I can't stop thinking on how much memory and cpu is used on not used resources.
Listing 50 people means creating 50 instances, full of resources like crud, filtering processing uploads, validating rules and so on when what I need is to run a query and just output results with a simple loop.
This confuses me a lot. And not just confuse, as I already saw some apps where runtime increases exponentialy with database when business rules are a little more complex.
I think, is the case to create new classes or plain scripts to just handle the outputs and reports? If yes, so this mean double effort, making use of OOP pointless, once I would need to create many different classes for same database entity. Coding turns harder, maintenance turns no cool.
Am I missing something? Or this is a drawback of OOP approach?
Should we sacrifice a straight to the point, thin, faster code in order to get faster development and maintenance?
As expected, some points I put before were misleading for some guys...
First, I'm seasoned to really really big projects (I worked at IBM vendoring for Sprint/Nextel USA and Directv North America, so I'm used to see some terabytes being processed daily).
When I said 50 people being retrieved from database, I don't mean strictly 50 people, I just want to gave the idea of many records. I know 50 records is nothing to today's servers. 50 million are. Imagine this last number if appropriate.

During my walk to class this morning I really took in the sights around me, looking back and remembering the time all of it was so strange and new. It was a huge accomplishment if I made it to class without getting lost. Now I try to get lost on purpose (not on my way to class though) so I can find the unfamiliar parts of town. When is the point in time where the strange and different becomes familiar, becomes home? Not only has my perspective changed, but I also feel different. In a very subtle way, like how your hair gets longer but you can't tell until you see pictures of you with short hair (my hair is in desperate need of a cut.)
I'm going to start off by telling everyone it's 60 degrees outside, and I am FREEZING. This cold is giving me flashbacks to the polar vortex and -25 degree wind chill. Except it's 60 degrees. I am an Iowan in and out, 20 years of living with Iowa winters, and I have become soft. This place has changed me into the person that says, "Que calor!" At 80 degrees and "Que frio!" At 60 degrees.
Lu Shen was interested in journalism long before she enrolled at the University of Iowa as a double major in Journalism and Mass Communication and Art. Shen, an undergraduate student from Hangzhou, China, studied for two years before making the decision to come to the U.S. She was encouraged by a favorite professor at home to take on the challenge of studying journalism in a U.S. university, and her parents also supported her decision.
I'm close to my halfway point in my study abroad experience, and I think I've gained enough experience and expertise to let other people know exactly why they should be doing exactly what I'm doing (but in their own way!) If I can convince at least one person to go through with a study abroad experience, I think I would be happy. There are a million reasons why people should study abroad, or travel in general, but here are a few that I came up with that I think are pretty convincing arguments.
Journalist, author, and activist Roger Thurow and tropical medicine specialist Dr. Selma Jeronimo have been named the winners of the 2014 International Impact Awards. UI President Sally Mason and Associate Provost and Dean of International Programs Downing Thomas will present the awards to Thurow and Jeronimo at 5 p.m., November 18, at FilmScene in downtown Iowa City as part of the television/radio/internet program WorldCanvass. The ensuing discussion will focus on the tenacious cycle of poverty, hunger, and disease which afflicts so many parts of our globe—and some of the creative efforts worldwide to break the cycle.
October 8th. Can you believe it? I can't. It's been more than a month abroad, and somehow I'm still surviving. Actually, I know how I'm surviving. With lots of pastries and tea.
I am at the point where everything is starting to feel somewhat normal and at home here. Things are feeling familiar to me, and it's been more than 24 hours since I've gotten lost–although I wouldn't put too much confidence in my inner-GPS skills just yet. I am also very consciously wondering, "Am I integrating myself into the culture enough? Do I look the part? I haven't had paella yet, should I be worried?", while also comparing what it's like to be an American, a University of Iowa student, even just an Iowan, to the culture here.
Although he was a fictional character dreamt up by Scottish author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 1800s, many of Holmes' techniques are effectively used today – over 130 years later. Indeed, the magnifying glass is an effective tool popularized by the detective, as are his methods of logical reasoning, disguise, and forensic science, which were simply unheard of at the time.
As I write, I am sitting in bed, all of my clothes are packed in vacuum-sealed bags, copies of my passport are scanned, and my alarm is set. Yet here I am, wide awake, eagerly anticipating the big trip.
Ever since I first picked up the novel American Psycho a couple of years ago, I've had a sort of infatuation with famous serial killers. I became intrigued at the thought of gaining insight into America's criminal justice system by studying its British roots – criminology is something that has always captivated me. In just a few days, I will be studying abroad in the United Kingdom in a program called Crime and Justice and Britain.

SAIFF Review: Dukhtar
by Alec Kubas-Meyer
Most of the modern foreign films that I watch are from countries that are reasonably similar to the United States. People live in apartments and drive sleek cars. They use smartphones and credit cards. They have the internet. And so even if I'm confused by a particular custom or some broader cultural experience, I can always fall back on the knowledge that their environments are not too different from mine.
Which makes it all the more shocking to see a film like Dukhtar, Pakistan's official Oscar entry for the year. Though it takes place in modern times, the environment is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's something truly foreign.
It's also quite good.

Review: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1
by Nick Valdez
The Hunger Games has come a long way. From humble meh-ish beginnings, to a sequel that, well, caught fire in theaters, the films have gotten increasingly better the more comfortable everyone gets with the material. Going into the latest, Mockingjay- Part 1 (which is based off half of the final text in the book trilogy), that upward trend certainly continues.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 1 is the pinnacle of the Hunger Games series. A payoff of two years of buildup that finally cements this series as the main example of how to do these Young Adult book adaptations. It may have taken a while to get to the peak, but the view is totally worth it.view full story + comments

Kudos to Joanne Jones with Fredericksburg Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities.
On April 5, my husband and I took our greyhound, Bella, to the 2nd annual "Doggie Easter Egg Hunt" at Memorial Park.
We attended the event last year and enjoyed it so much we were eager to go again this year.
Joanne Jones is to be commended for organizing and managing the event. There were lots of dogs of different breeds. All the dogs were well behaved, and there were no unpleasant incidents.
What a great way to socialize the dogs, and what a fun outing. I do not know who enjoyed it more, the dogs or the humans. I thank Ms. Jones for an excellent job!

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Luke 10:41-42 (NIV)
(This devotional is by Jon Walker, editor of the Daily Hope Devotionals and author of Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Bonhoeffer's 'The Cost of Discipleship.')
"It's easy to get so busy for Jesus that we no longer have time for Jesus"
Martha was busy for Jesus, and that left her too busy to be with Jesus.
Jesus was sitting in her living room, but she was in her kitchen steaming vegetables for God. Don't misunderstand; no doubt Jesus would be blessed by a hot meal served by the best cook in Bethany.
But, as Jesus always valued relationships over anything else, his preference might have been a simple cheese and olive pita in exchange for time spent enjoying Martha's company.
Can you think of Jesus simply relaxing among friends, blessed to be with them?
As Pastor Rick has been teaching us this week, it's easy to get so busy for Jesus that we no longer have time for Jesus, and it's easy to get so busy serving at the church that we don't have time for people.
The point here is not to give a free pass for sitting on the sidelines; rather, it's to point you and me toward prioritizing for purpose. First, we seek God (spend time with Jesus), then we do the things he wants us to do.
Our objective is to serve others in love without distractions, being all there, focused on them. Sometimes we serve others simply through our presence.
There may be things you are doing that God never intended for you to do. Maybe you're doing them out of guilt, maybe because you thought you had to, or maybe because it seems like everyone else is doing them.
Nudge Mary over and sit down next to her at the feet of Jesus, and find out what's on His mind. He'll give you a to-do list of the things he wants you specifically to do because he knows what the Father shaped you to do.
Do you ever feel tired, drained or "beat-up" and just don't know why? That's because every day you're fighting an unseen spiritual war. You can't see it, but its effects are very real. In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

Updated: We Have Our Symbol !!! Quilting you are awesome !!!Submitted by celeste on Thu, 08/20/2009 - 13:12
I just received my quillow today from Quilting with her symbol for the revolution on it. I believe Michael is going to share a picture of it with everyone. Trust me everyone will want a flag with "our" symbol on it. Not only is it a remarkable work of art but Quilting also has a poem to go along with it.
I cannot tell you how honored I am to be one of the first to see it. I believe this symbol will unite people in the pursuit of :
I just wanted to add MikeLawson site that shows the symbol
cleaned up. I think it really improved it. Thanks, Mike
In Liberty, quiltingsando
Quilting your contribution is not a small one and if I am correct you will have a secure place in this revolutions history !!!
- Login to post comments
As always...
this is a powerful symbol...in its simplicity and in its complexity it honorably and truthfully depicts Liberty and the life we find worth fighting for.
Assert Your Authority
I see there is already a Ron Paul shop on this site at the bottom of the page that has Ron Paul tee shirts etc. It might be worth talking to them or Michael about offering the new logo on products .
"Its easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
Mark Twain
No Matter What...
I vote for the tree (in any form) as our symbol. It evokes nonviolence from the get go. Also a tree by it's very nature is complex and organic, the very opposite of authoritarianism.
Quilting, great job!
Add two things.
1. A coiled rattle snake.
2. The Tree from the flag "Appeal to Heaven"
A feel it necessary for the flag to represent the emotions of the people during similar points in history is for us to incorporate the the symbols from the past to represent the emotions of today with our added symbol as well. I deem it necessary to reuse many of the symbols Americans had pre-War for Independence in today's movement.
By doing so it will help make the People stand out from the Tyrants, allowing the Tyrants men to make a decision to do with their allegiance.
I reserve the right to govern myself.
I reserve the right to govern myself.
Thank you FreeManOnLand
I had considered your ideas when I developed this symbol. In fact, I almost did not use the word Liberty from what I had learned about Law Of the Sea, that seems what we live under now. I was going to go with FREEDOM thinking it more appropriate but the word LIBERTY is my desire to connect to our ancestors so I choose Liberty. If you look at my symbol at the center with the long line and the points with two branches without points, I was hoping to create the feel of the "Appeal to Heaven" flag. To me it looks like a person with their arms stretched out appealing to heaven for guidance, at least that is what I was trying to convey. I think that the snake flag is very powerful in it's own right and adding it to this would have cheapened them both. As I look back at all the flags of our ancestors I see that they left room for each others ideas. I don't think my symbol is the first or last of this revolution, it is meant only to give comfort to those who seek it.
I share your concerns about who the Tyrants are, but from what I have learned many have been leaders of our past. Who do we trust, I don't know? Who will betray us, I don't know? I do know who I am and I want to be a Free Woman On Land. Peace, Courage & Freedom

Yes, you can

Forgive me if I am a wet blanket
I honestly like the symbol, but my first reaction was, "Oh no! Our arrows are broken!"
Thanks for your honest
reaction and I have thought about this. The root is not broken but bent to support the tree. If the key to Liberty is Knowledge and Truth is New Growth, (green points and the grass roots ) that body of Wisdom the trunk and roots will grow where it finds open minds.
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
Thank you for not being offended
and providing your explanation. I'm just so used to seeing bow-and-arrow WEAPON arrows in American symbolism that I perceived them THAT kind of arrow, not just directional arrows. Thus the split-second dismay at seeing them broken at the top and bottom.
Still very attractive though, and well-made. :)
Well done.
Who did the more drawing-like one?
I like the fact that it also seems to have
slight "imperfections" - the stitched one is really
charming--I love that hand-made quality. So much
can be done with a symbol like this to focus and rally
around. It brings to mind local-ism. It's has masculine
and feminine qualities. As a tree, it's rooted in principle;
making it strong to withstand the trials of life and time.
I also enjoy all of the comments, below. We Liberty-minded
folks are so Romantic.

"If you're into political activism, at least for Ron Paul if not for anyone else, I strongly recommend spending some time with iroots.org." - Tom Woods
I did them both.
I was going to correct the imperfections but something in me kept saying no leave it. I don't understand why. Maybe, in our efforts to gain Liberty we will not be in agreement or balance with each other but none the less will be seeking Liberty.

Sweet! Universal, and Self-Explanatory!
Anyone know Runic? Gotta mean something. Feels naturally primal like my genetic memory remembers something...
From what I can tell, it's merely perfunctory glance on my part, and please correct me, if any of you have actually studied Runic symbolism, or other glyphs for that matter, but as far as this layman can understand, of course it''s after viewing only but a few sites, if "rune binding" is done in Viking, AngloSaxon, and Germanic Futhark, and if "spreads" are done... it actually reminds me of I-Ching (hey who said the ancient Hans and Norse weren't brothers and sisters!), it may possibly denote some of the following: challenge, wealth, drizzle, god, ulcer, ice, Tyr(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tyr), man, water, bow, torch, sedge(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sedge), and ocean
Spread far and wide upon the Ocean, with the force of fire and ice, drizzled and blessed by God upon men, so that he/she may face whatever challenge may commeth armed with bow and torch of intelligence.
How that? 'o) Hey, my first Rune Spread!
So what say you, our inventor of the said symbol, Quilting?
- Ron Paul 2012 !!!
Wow, that is so interesting
When I was working on the design I was reading about the Liberty Tree and how slaves were the first to gather under the tree to celebrate and elect their spokes persons etc. Then the revolutionary citizens gathered under the tree to meet and discuss plans on how to claim their Freedom. I kept remembering how we were the grassroots. I think Liberty has to come from the ground up, not top down. That Liberty is gained through wisdom not weapons. That fighting the immigrant or a person of color or a person of a particular religion will not gain my freedom. My freedom will be by acknowledging who holds the purse strings to it. My freedom will be gained by NOT supporting institutions that enslave me. Wisdom is the Key to Liberty. Our enemy keeps secrets and that should tell us what power there is in secrets.
Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
Primal edifice..
and natural.
A Tree, is growth. A Tree, is life. A Tree, is Knowledge, with or without the judeo-christian Original Sin context; it's dangerous for those who are arrogant. But, to those whom are respectful of Nature, and/or the Creator , it can be a gift: "Wisdom is the Key," indeed.
A Tree, plants itself down, spreads its roots wide, building foundation for the next generation. And, leaves its mark on surrounding soil, influencing its environment. Symbiotically, a Tree, absorbs what surrounds it, both the ground, and the air, so that the lessons learned, are retained and can be passed on. And what's more? A Tree grows upwards. Up, up, and away! Sky's the limit.
Yup, don't want to get all too American Beauty's high-gliding "plastic bag" on ya'll, but the symbolism of a common everyday Tree we irreverently walk past, is pretty deep; if one stops to think about the depth to which our Ancestors gave the simplest creations of Nature, the most profound implications on one's soul, as easily observed, reflected in various life cycles on earth. The older I get, the more, and more respect I have, for what the arrogant anthropologists/archaeologists, aka."quackademic-grantwhores" have dismissively labeled as "primitive" glyphs. Which, the old cliche proves that, indeed, a picture [symbol] IS worth a thousand words, reflective of a time in history where the ancient tongue developed out of its more lyrical oral traditions, compared to the more literal rendition that our modern bland languages consist of. How those brazen eggheads DON'T know, what OUR Quilting knows... 'o)
And I'm glad that the symbol seems to be growing on you; at the rate DP'ers are embracing, it seems already, to have begun a life of its own, as Ernie Hancock's R3VOLution logo has. I posted the following on a separate thread, but I feel it's apropos: http://www.dailypaul.com/node/103971#comment-1138295
Ernie explains to a caller whom inquired about the nature, of the extent of his ownership of the "R3VOLution" logo:
He As he puts it: starts around 8:10 min mark:
"Let me tell you how much ownership I have over that logo: just enough ownership to make sure nobody has ANY ownership."
And, he goes on to communicate one of the more profound statements I've heard in recent memory:
"You want to kill a movement? You try to control it... You CAN'T. STOP trying. Let it go. Because, there IS NO CENTRAL PLAN for Freedom, even if that central plan has an "L" after it." [As he makes an 'L' finger gesture referring to the Libertarian Party.]
-Have the Greatest of WeekEnds, Quilting!
Thanks, for sharing that with me, I really appreciate it. I read that thread and that Ernie is my kind of patriot. It also reminded me of a egg I have in my china cabinet. It is all decorated and I bought it years ago. It reads
"Do not walk in front of me, I may not follow. Do not walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend". That sums it up for me, I don't know who the author is, but I like it.

Nice Rune Spread, Bleu my DNA was touched too.
"Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains."
And never forget, "Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains."
That quote about topsoil, is PROFOUND,
to all of us, except I suppose to someone like Sai Baba, who supposedly can meditate for hours without food and the usual hygenics, not to mention popping once extinct items out of thin air, LOL. Now only if I could live on air, and sunlight... but... but... pizza... Why does path to enlightenment have to be so cruel?
Thanks for the links. Will have to definitely check them out!
P.S. Thanks for the compliments on the spread.
Offering as paper wieghts, or stick on decal transparency.
Rune Uses
The runes are thought of as an ancient writing system but they surpass these limitations by also incorporating the tribe social idealogies (e.g. Sowulo = sun = health = s). The use of runes is limitless they have been found inscribed onto many surfaces of differing materials and have been used for spells, divination, poems and ornamentation. When used for divination they are most commonly cut onto small parts of a branch of a fruit bearing tree but they can be painted onto almost any surface. For this practice it is generally considered best to use natural materials such as crystals, stones and wood.
(The photo to the side is an example of one of my sets - varnished coal stones picked from a nearby beach).
And never forget, "Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains."
Wow, that is so beautiful.
For some reason I could see the symbol burnt on a small piece of smooth wood, something to put in my pocket for strength during the difficult days ahead. Thank you both for this very deep reading of the symbol, very profound.

Beautiful natural presence...
in those stones. Awesome. So does this mean you'll do an iteration of QuiltingSando's liberty tree symbol? That'd be great to see on a three dimensional item, as well as on the usual flat or curved planar surfaces ideal for applique.

The R3volution requires action, not observation!!!!
It's too complicated..
check out this video
The symbols in the video are cartoons trying to be definitive.
They are mere pretty pictures.
Quilts still leaves all to the imagination, from a Girl Scout craft to ancient archeology, but especially, to all languges, and is very, very physically strong from an engineering view, rigid and spewing.
The symbols in the video, democrate donkey, republican elephant, Obamas circle (barbie doll's view from her window? some sort of sun and waving stands of grain?) Mere cartoonish.
Quilts is sophisticated, and perhaps not for everyone, you know, those that will see anything as a cartoon, or want to see a cartoon.
Quilts speaks of persistance and consistancy, a linear and reasoned approach, clutching the earth and giving strength, almost scary strength to the stand.
Opps, there I go again, trying to figure out why I am so attracted to "lines" and a touch of brown and green. Darn, it's so ambiguous, I just can't stop imagining!

My two cents
Can this go to help quilting some how. She deserves full credit for this. We should find a quality tee shirt and flag company and someone who can put it on coffee cups. I would take one of each ! I'm sure Quilting mentioned it could go to help candidates too.
Quilting, its up to you. We don't want to step on toes but we are here to help when you decide if and how you want to proceed. I'm sure Michael would be a big help too.

The planet, we are informed, is warming. The ice caps are melting.
Climates are changing. Scientists blame factory smokestacks, car exhausts and the destruction of the rain forests. "The Arrival" has a more terrifying hypothesis to explain the phenomenon. In the great paranoid tradition of science fiction, the discovery of this possibility is made by one man who cannot get anyone to listen to him and who grows desperate as the establishment slams its doors. The man is Zane Zaminski (Charlie Sheen), a radio astronomer who listens for signs of intelligence from outer space. Unlike his colleagues, he's looking in the noisy FM band: "It's like searching for a needle," his partner tells him, "in a haystack of needles." When he picks up an unmistakable signal, Zane takes it gleefully to his boss (Ron Silver), only to be told that the government's entire intergalactic eavesdropping operation is being scaled down because of budget cutbacks. Zane's frustration is the engine for a science-fiction film of unusual intelligence that keeps on thinking all the way to the end, springing surprises and ideas. The movie is as smart as "Mission: Impossible" is dumb.
"The Arrival" is always clear about its science, its plot, its characters and its meaning, unlike "Mission: Impossible," which is concerned with surface flash, visual impact and action. (That's not to say "Mission: Impossible" isn't entertaining; I am simply making the comparison.) Zane is dumped from his job but cannot shake the conviction that he did indeed hear an intelligent signal from another planet. He's kind of a nerd with a goatee and a pocket protector, who can duplicate a science lab in his own attic with a couple of good computers and a soldering iron. Aided by a smart kid from next door (Tony T. Johnson), he soon has his own listening station up and running. His method for duplicating a big government radio telescope is ingenious: He gets a job as a repairman for consumer satellite dishes, secretly wires them into a network and puts together his own "phased array" to listen to space. I have no idea if this would work, but I like his attitude. His investigation of the signals leads him to Mexico, where he encounters another scientist, played by Lindsay Crouse. We've seen her in the film's splendid opening sequence, which begins with her sniffing a flower in a meadow, and then pulls back to show the meadow surrounded by thousands of square miles of arctic ice. Together, they speculate about global warming and its possible connection to the strange situations they encounter in a small central Mexico village. At one point, frightened by where her reasoning is leading her, she sighs, "I get so damned apocalyptic when I drink." Read no further if you plan to see the film. What I appreciated about "The Arrival" is that it stays with its thesis all the way to the end. It has a chilling hypothesis: Earth is being" terraformed" by an alien species that would prefer the planet a little warmer before it moves in. Combining this idea with a touch of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and some ambitious special effects, "The Arrival" springs surprises on us right to the end; the screenplay is by David Twohy ("The Fugitive"), who also directed, and who doesn't run out of steam. Consider, for example, a clever little spinning globe that seems to work as a vacuum cleaner, sucking everything into another dimension. The job it does on a gigantic radio telescope is one of the best recent examples of special effects. There is a shot when Zane's fiancee (Teri Polo) rolls to the edge of the big dish; at first, all we see is its vast white expanse, and then suddenly we see the earth below, spread out beneath her. The way the shot is constructed makes it into 10 seconds of just about perfect cinema. A lot of movies in this genre break down in the end into a simpleminded series of chases and fights. There are fights and chases in "The Arrival," but they're generated by the plot and punctuated by revelations and possibilities, so that the movie keeps on thinking and doesn't go on automatic pilot. "The Arrival" fulfills one of the classic functions of science fiction, which is to take a current trend and extend it to a possible (and preferably alarming) future. Unlike "Species," which assumed that alien invaders would be monsters (or, if you read the film differently, would send monsters ahead to clear the way for them), "The Arrival" gives its aliens credit for reasoning that we might almost be tempted to agree with. "We're just finishing what you started," one of the aliens tells Zane, referring to the smokestacks, auto exhausts, rain forests and so on. "What would have taken you 100 years will only take us 10." He, or it, has a point.

Wind energy typically conjures up images of towering turbines being revved up by massive, spinning airfoils. At a much smaller scale, however, its also possible to harvest wind power from the friction of flapping flags.
A new study released Monday found that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of North America over the past century closely followed natural changes in the wind, not increases in greenhouse gases related to global warming.
It is difficult to find fault with a process that can create food from sunlight, water and air, but for many plants, there is room for improvement. Researchers have taken an important step towards enhancing photosynthesis by engineering plants with enzymes from blue-green algae that speed up the process of converting carbon dioxide into sugars.
Sometime in the early first century B.C., a ship went down in the Mediterranean Sea, just off a Greek island named Antikythera. The wreck itself wasnt unusual. The island was surrounded by jagged rocks, which likely caused many a boat to disappear back then. But there was something different about this one. The boat contained a trove of statues, jewelry, and most notably what some scholars believe to be the earliest computer known to man.

At a press conference earlier this year, former Nasa astronaut Dr Edward Lu announced that there are around 1m asteroids in the Earth's vicinity "with the potential to destroy a major metropolitan area".

Recent surveys have shown that a significant portion of the population believes in ghosts, leading some scholars to conclude that we are witnessing a revival of paranormal beliefs in Western society. A Harris poll from last year found that 42 percent of Americans say they believe in ghosts. The percentage is similar in the U.K., where 52 percent of respondents indicated that they believed in ghosts in a recent poll.

Kate Gosselin and her twin daughters Cara and Mady went on the Today show to talk about their new People magazine article in which Kate insisted the family was not "messed up" despite having their lives filmed for a reality show. During the interview, host Savannah Guthrie quizzed the 13-year-old former stars of Jon & Kate Plus 8 on whether they were "doing okay", but was met with periods of silence.
The girls' mother urged them: "It's your chance, spit it out, but Cara and Mady remained quiet. Kate continued, "This is the most wordless I've heard them all morning. I don't want to speak for them but, Mady, go ahead. "Sort of the things that you said in the magazinethat years later they're good, they're fine. Go for it, it's your chance." "No," Mady replied. "You just said it."
Guthrie went on to ask the twins whether they felt as though people had the wrong impression of them. After prompting from her mother, Mady replied, "I wouldn't say wrong, I would just say not the full story. A lot of people think that filming our show has damaged us but it has only really helped."

Chris Brown - Forever
Artist: Chris Brown
Producer: Polow Da Don
Album: Exclusive: The Forever Edition
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 163 votes )
If you thought it couldn't get any better for Chris Brown (ya know, #1 single in the country and Caribbean vacations with non-girlfriend Rihanna), you might want to think again. On June 3, the teen R&B sensation will re-release his newest album, Exclusive, with four brand new songs and a bonus DVD with footage from his recent Up Close & Personal Tour. The new packaged disc will be lead by the Polow Da Don produced single, Forever, an up-tempo club joint with a futuristic Daft Punk pop feel. Interestingly enough, it's Brown's most logical competitor (and label-mate), Usher, who will release his new album, Here I Stand, a week before Exclusive: The Forever Edition hits stores.

Planned Carmel Valley MERGE project draws praise and criticisms
There were a mix of opinions on the proposed new mixed-use project MERGE at a meeting held by the developer on June 12. MERGE is a proposed retail, commercial and residential project for the corner of Carmel Country Road and Carmel Mountain Road.
Some in attendance expressed frustration and a fair amount of anger at the workshop format of the meeting, wanting more of an open discussion where everyone could hear the questions asked and answers given.
"It's like you don't care," one resident told developer Gary Levitt.
Levitt said the purpose of last week's meeting was always intended to be just an informational presentation; he said the appropriate place to debate the project will be at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, where they will vet the project in subcommittee and regular board meetings in the coming months.
Levitt said he is very proud of what he is proposing and will adjust the plan where appropriate. He said he has a vested interest in the project being successful not just as a developer but as a neighbor. He has lived in the area since 1983, is the chair of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board and also owns the Torrey Hills Shopping Center down the street from the proposed project.
The community plan was developed for the area in 1990 and established what could be done with the space on Carmel Country Road and Carmel Mountain Road — it is entitled to 200 multi-family homes and 4 acres of neighborhood commercial center. In 2004, Pardee Homes developed a plan for Highlands Village and built 169 townhomes and was granted permits for a 28,000-square-foot strip shopping center.
"I was lucky enough to buy the property," Levitt said. "It is a wonderful property but it had a lousy plan."
Levitt said the plan was no better than any other strip center and was not designed to be a good neighbor to homes directly behind the project. The backs of box-store retail, including alleyways and loading docks, would be facing the fronts of people's homes on Dry Cliff Trail.
"I think the community deserves something better than what's planned," Levitt said. "I'm not going to build another strip center."
Around the perimeter of the project, the residences, businesses and offices will front the street to provide a "welcoming environment," Levitt said. There will be plenty of green spaces, including a central garden and wide sidewalks all around — a total of 1.6 acres of pedestrian and open space.
Levitt said he wants to build a place that will attract an authentic coffee shop and artisanal restaurants that people can walk to, with indoor and outdoor dining. He said he would like to build unique office and retail spaces that would attract interesting tenants.
"If you want to attract great tenants you have to build great places," Levitt said.
Levitt developed ground rules for the design of MERGE, which was taken on by Safdie Rabines Architects. The rules were that they don't change the community plan or zoning, don't generate any more car trips than the approved project, that it aims to be certified LEED Gold for its green building standards and provides pedestrian-friendly linkages through and around the property.
