Crossrail's Tunnelling Site on the Limmo Peninsular
If you take the Docklands Light Railway from Poplar to Canning Town, the train takes a wide loop just after East India station. The enclosed area is the Limmo Peninsular and it sits in a loop of the River Lea as it travels towards the River Thames. In the distance there is an enclosure with several large cranes surrounded by blue fencing.
I would assume that this is tunnelling site for Crossrail. The picture was taken from the platform at Canning Town station.
A couple of days after I took the picture, I went back again and took a picture of the site from a train on the Docklands Light Railway going to Beckton.
I also took another showing an impressive set of Portacabins.
You can just see the Crossrail logo on the buildings.

DULUTH, MN (AP) - Sand, mud and gravel from last week's torrential rains in northeastern Minnesota are spreading into western Lake Superior.
The lake's chocolate brown tint is visible in satellite photos from space. Boaters report entire trees floating in the lake.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources fisheries specialist Josh Blankenheim tells the Duluth News Tribune (http://bit.ly/NHC4Z8) that crews found visibility of just six feet in the water this week. That compares with being able to see down 35 feet last week.
The mud, muck and clay already are settling to the bottom. But the exact impact of all that sediment is uncertain.
As many as 10 inches of rain pounded the Duluth area over two days last week, breaking a more than century-old record.
Temp: 55°F (13°C)
Dewpoint: 55
Wind: 4 N
Weather: light rain

RENO, Nev. – D.J. Seeley matched his career high with 32 points and a hot-shooting Cal State Fullerton team erupted for a 112-69 victory over Southern Utah Saturday on the second night of the World Vision Classic at the Lawlor Events Center at the University of Nevada.
The point total matched the sixth best in school history for the Titans (1-2), who made interim head coach Andy Newman a winner in his official debut.

Southern Utah (0-3) committed 31 turnovers with the Titans credited with 20 steals including 7 by Seeley, who also had 7 assists and 4 rebounds.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
The S102 comes at a good price, but although the navigational experience was solid, it just doesn't do enough to command a glowing rapport. There are plenty of better options available on the market.
The ASUS S102 offers fully fledged turn-by-turn navigation, a photo viewer and MP3 player. Unfortunately, despite the use of the popular Destinator mapping software, the S102 falls well short of most other units on the market thanks to a slow user interface, questionable build quality and a largely uninspiring design.
The S102 has a straightforward, simple interface with clearly labelled selection boxes for most sections. The 3.5in, 320 x 240 pixel display makes it fairly easy to navigate through the unit, and a stylus is housed in the rear if you don't want to use your finger. The screen is adequate, although not as bright and clear as competing models. Sunlight glare is an issue; on a bright day, we struggled to see the screen while driving. Our main issue with the interface is when adjusting settings. The S102 is very sluggish and has an annoying chime tone when you tap the screen that can't be turned off.
The undoubted strength of the S102 is the Destinator software, also used on the Hitachi models MMP-401 and MMP-501. Unlike most other units, suburbs aren't filtered by state. Instead you'll get a full list of suburbs in Australia, with the state in brackets. For example, Fairfield (NSW) and Fairfield (VIC). Street names are then filtered by suburb, reducing the list of streets during searching to a manageable number. The S102 allows navigation directly to a house number, intersection or to the middle of a street.
The main menu of the Destinator software is made up of many large boxes with text and coloured icons, so first time users shouldn't have any problems understanding it. There are icons for address, recent locations, favourites and points of interest (POI). Tapping the settings button on this screen also allows users adjust all navigational options. Meanwhile tapping the address button allows you to navigate to a specific address. A host of POI's are also available, such as airports, shopping centres, parking stations, hospitals and cafes. In total, the S102 comes with over 350,000 POI's out of the box.
ASUS claims the S102 has "high-sensitivity antenna technology" that contributes to the speed of picking up a GPS signal and makes reception more stable. It was a little speedier than normal, taking roughly 30 seconds to acquire a signal, but it wasn't a significant improvement over other models. It uses the popular SiRF Star III GPS chipset seen in many other units currently on the market and re-routing times were positive as well, taking just a couple of seconds in most instances.
The maps are simple and easy to read and can be zoomed in and out of easily using the large + and - controls on the touch screen, or the dedicated zoom button below the display. Users can select either a 3D or 2D view, switch between day and night mode and plan multi-stop trips. The S102 also has an avoid area feature; you can program the unit to avoid certain areas when you plan your trip, such as known traffic hot spots, for example. The S102's voice commands were fine, although there is only one voice English voice option which is quite loud at its highest volume level.
The S102 is fairly compact, but rather thick. It measures 110mm x 86.8mm x 20.5mm and weighs a hefty 183g. The unit is finished in a dull, dark grey plastic, with a bright orange corner surrounding the SD card slot and obviously housing the internal antenna. Its build quality is a little questionable; the plastic surrounding the front buttons on our review unit peeled off and wouldn't stick back on properly.
A convenient volume scroll wheel is located on the left hand side of the S102, so changing volume while driving is easy. Maps are loaded onto the included SD card, the slot located on the left hand side. The right side has a headphone jack, mini-USB port, and the volume scroll wheel. Dedicated zoom, mute, menu and power buttons adorn the row of space just below the display.
The S102 also includes an MP3 player and photo viewer. Files can be stored on the unit's 64MB of internal memory, but if you want to store your multimedia on an SD card, you'll have to buy an extra card and swap them over. This will also mean you can't use the GPS functionality until you reinsert the default card, but that is a common situation with most media capable GPS units. The MP3 player is very basic with only repeat and random play options but there is a four preset equaliser and it is easy to use thanks to large, easy to tap controls on the touch screen. Sound quality from the external speaker is below average though.
ASUS rates the S102 battery life up to four hours, but we experienced closer to three hours with moderate usage. Keep in mind that use of the photo viewer and MP3 functions will diminish battery life further. The S102 sales package includes an AC charger, in car charger and window mount.

- Moldex 9000 Series Full Mask Respirator
Filters and cartridges are sold separately. An Asbestos and Mold Full Face Combination is available which includes filters.
This Moldex respirator is exceptionally lightweight to accommodate the face protector needs of workers in diverse job environments. In fact, it is the lightest of all popular full face respirators on the market.
The full face ventilator weighs less than 12.7 ounces, providing all day comfort that makes workers more inclined to wear the protective facemask. Using innovative frameless construction technology, the reusable respirator is also designed for durability with harness straps molded securely onto the flange and a scratch resistant lens secured with a revolutionary over-molded flange design rather than clunky clamping found on other reusable respirators.
The affordable, reusable 9000 Series full-face breathing mask gets high marks for comfort with its slide-on head harness with wide opening and one finger ratchet fastening strap release system that makes it a breeze putting the mask on and off. The face piece also features a super wide, full face viewing lens which provides a larger field of vision.
Integrated Exhalation
With an exhale valve built-in and an easy lock system, attaching filters and cartridges to the breathing mask is a breeze.
Easy Maintenance
Despite its sophisticated design, this lightweight respirator is easy to maintain. That's because there are fewer parts to worry about and absolutely no metal parts. What's more, the lens is easy to clean and its design eliminates scratching when the safety respirator mask is put down. All these features make maintenance of the Moldex 9000 Series Full Face Mask Respirator effortless and less costly.
- Accelerated Aging/Conditioning Tests: The full face mask respirator withstood temperatures of 160 degrees F and 90% relative humidity for 7 days AND negative 10 degrees below F and 10% relative humidity for 7 days.
- Lens Tests: The face shield lens did not get damage when a 1 pound, 1.63 ounce projectile with a pointed edge was dropped from a height of 50 inches. In addition, the lens remained intact when a 0.25 inch steel ball traveling at a speed of 250 feet per second hit it. The perfect scores achieved by this safety facepiece in these tests comply with the high impact eye protection standard under ANSI Z87 and other ANSI standards for safety glasses.
- Strap Cycle Tests: The respirator mask strap remained intact after it was put on and off 500 times. Plus, the harness, buckles and straps did not falter after a 10 pound weight was put on and taken off them more than 250,000 times.
- Exhale Valve Cover Cycle Test: After being opened and closed 15,000 times, the exhale valve cover on the respirator remained good as new.
- Cartridge Cycle Test: The cartridges used with this full face breathing apparatus were attached and removed 500 times, yet remained in tip-top shape.
From hazmat workers to auto body and refinishing workers to textile workers, the Moldex 9000 Series Full Face mask Respirator fits any job where odors and irritants are a concern. When it comes to inexpensive respirators for your own business or to meet your workplace respiratory protection program, there's no better deal than this full face respirator.
No matter your occupational safety or environmental safety concerns, this lightweight facemask accommodates all types of filtering cartridges. It provides OSHA, ANSI and NIOSH compliant lung protection for employees in chemical manufacturing, foundries, aluminum processing, boat building, electroplating and jobs using paint, embalming fluids, adhesives, or other lung irritating odors. As a gas mask, it accommodates filtering cartridges that protect against hazardous gas and vapors.
For a user-friendly air purifying respirator, no other compares with the Moldex 9000 Series Full Face mask Respirator. It's industrial safety gear that fits your compliance requirements and meets the wearability concerns of your workers. You might think that all this innovative technology and multitude of features would cost more, but in fact, this reusable full face respirator, complete with a tear away lens protector and reusable storage bag, is priced to meet your budget. Take the lead in your industry and equip your employees with the leading safety full face mask respirator for better workforce production and compliance.

0voteA: You would most likely need a SCBA or an air line unit of sorts for protection should there be bush fires. The mask will give you some protection against smoke, but in heavy conditions it won't be as effective.
0voteA: Moldex sells a full face lens protector that works as a clear shield to be applied over the face mask. And, once you're done with the protector sheet, you can peel it off and the mask will remain clean from debris.
0voteA: Unfortunately no standard respirator will fit over a beard. If shaving isn't an option you'll need to go with a helmet system. The Pureflo ESM PAPR Helmet PRO2000 would be a great option.
0voteA: The clear lens of the Moldex 9000 series full face respirators is designed to absorb impacts, in much the same way safety glasses do. The lens meets ANSI Z87+ for high impact requirements.
0voteA: Standard glasses are not compatible with a full face respirator. The temples (part that goes over your ears) breaks the mask seal. Without a seal, contaminated air will take the path of least resistance, bypassing the filters or cartridges. Moldex, similar to other manufacturers of full face respirators, offers a 'spectacle kit' for their masks.
The Moldex 0098 spectacle kit hangs inside the mask, and is adjustable to make a comfortable fit. The idea is to take the frame provided in the kit to your optometrist. They make a set of lenses with your prescription and put them in the frames. A little bit of hassle, but the only sure way to have your glasses in combo with a full face respirator.
As an aside, it is not recommended that contact lenses be worn inside of a full face respirator.
0voteA: Filter (or cartridge) life varies widely, depending on what it gets exposed to. In the case of a dust particulate filter, the amount of dust in the air will have a huge impact on filter life. Lots of dust equals short(er) life, less dust equals longer. When breathing through the mask and filter combo, it should be fairly easy to inhale. As the filter becomes loaded with dust, inhaling becomes progressively harder. The filter is actually becoming more efficient, but there is a point at which the increased effort makes this problematic, and you need to change the filter.
In the case of cartridges, the activated charcoal absorbs the vapors, whatever they might be. When first used, you should not be able to smell the vapors, solvent for instance. High concentration of vapors equals short(er) life, etc. Once the cartridge is exhausted, the smell will break through. Once again, time to change.
When used in a combination of filter and cartridge, same thought process applies. Long way of saying it depends on how the product is used, and your mileage may vary… There is no hard and fast time limit.
0voteA: The sizing refers to the adult face. Small would be appropriate for a petite woman for instance. Whether it would work on a child is an open question, and is completely dependent on the size of the face. That said, these products are not intended for use by children.
0voteA: Companies like 3M and Moldex operate under the assumption that the majority of people have about the same sized face. Therefore roughly 85-90% of population will fit into a medium sized respirator. If you are one of the relatively small part of the population that fits into the small and large sizes, you already have an idea because of your previous experiences purchasing hats or safety glasses. And it sounds like you know this about yourself already.
Unless the girl you mentioned has a small face where glasses and hats need to be quite a bit smaller than most other folks, chances are she will fit a medium mask.
Because face shapes vary so much, the companies don't have actual face size charts for their respirators. The only 100% for sure way of knowing the respirator is fitting perfectly is to do a Fit Test. This is a fairly involved process and usually only undertaken by large companies. But by covering the intake openings when you don your mask, you'll get a good idea about the face seal.
The Moldex full-face masks are very comfortable and have a great soft seal that conforms to a wide range of face shapes.

Robach Recognizes Digital Afternoons Students And Employers
Senator Joseph Robach held a ceremony this afternoon with County Executive Maggie Brooks to recognize the 26 students and 20 employers who participated in the second annual RochesterWorks! Digital Afternoons Program. Digital Afternoons is an innovative job-readiness program that trains high school students in technology and business and provides them with paid summer internships at local companies. Brooks launched the program in 2005. Senator Robach secured a $45,000 State grant for the program this year. Brooks and Robach were also joined by representatives of RochesterWorks! and the local school districts participating in the program.
Students from East High, John Marshall, East Rochester and Greece Olympia high schools completed a 10-week on-line curriculum in technology and business, including courses in time management, business etiquette, and the basics of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The students were then placed in paid summer internships at local companies and organizations and given the opportunity to practice their skills in the workplace.
"I am very proud to have supported the Digital Afternoons Program and its goal to provide computer and business training to our community's young people, as well as giving them the opportunity to apply and utilize these skills in an actual workplace environment," said State Senator Joe Robach.

Gareth Snook Joins Cast of CAFE SOCIETY SWING, Begin. 17 June at Leicester Square Theatre
Acclaimed actor Gareth Snook joins the cast of the new revised version of Cafe Society Swing that begins its first West End run on June 17th at the Leicester Square Theatre.
Snook, whose many theatre appearances include Andre in Phantom of the Opera, Alex in Aspects of Love, a principal role in the critically successful 'Make Me A Song' at the Charing Cross Theatre, and Bamatabois in the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables alongside TV credits that include Law and Order UK, The Bill, and Rory Bremner, plays three roles in Cafe Society Swing: an investigative journalist, a bartender, and idealist Barney Josephson, the real-life founder of Cafe Society and who worked for racial equality and progressive causes.
He also appeared in the film version of Les Miserables, directed by Tom Hooper.
Cafe Society Swing is a musical revue that tells the remarkable, true story of the pioneering New York nightclub opened by Barney Josephson in 1938 through to its demise in the anti-Communist hysteria of the late 1940s. Cafe Society became the first racially integrated club in New York City, probably the United States of America, calling itself 'The Wrong Place for the Right People'. It became the launching pad for some of the finest musical talent of the 20th century including Billie Holiday (who was given what became her signature tune there, Strange Fruit) Lena Horne, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie and many others. Revitalized with a new cast that boasts the crème de la crème of the UK jazz scene, Cafe Society Swing takes the audience on a thrilling musical journey performing classic songs of the period. Stellar vocalists Vimala Rowe, Cherise Adams-Burnett and Ciyo Brown and the Cafe Society All Stars (which include, amongst others, Jason Yarde, Denys Baptiste, Shane Forbes and Winston Rollins) perform an irresistible soundtrack of music from many of the artists who performed there.
Cafe Society Swing returns to the Leicester Square Theatre for its first full West End run following two sold-out shows there last year, and 2012's residency at the Tricycle Theatre both of which earned rave reviews. Then, in another landmark event for the production, it heads off to New York City (the very home of the story) where it will run for three weeks in December at the 59E59 Theatre.
Café Society Swing is directed by Simon Green. Green has worked extensively as a director in the UK and New York, at theatres including Wyndhams, Cadogan Hall, Bristol Old Vic and Salisbury Playhouse. He is also an award winning actor, and has performed across the UK and abroad.

Mount Kenya National ParkOne of the world's highest National Parks, Mount Kenya is an extinct volcano some three-and-a-half million-years-old. Straddling the equator, the mountain offers a unique mosaic of forest, moorland, rock and ice, and is crowned by the glittering twin peaks of Batian (5,199 m) and Nelion (5,188 m). The sacred home of Ngai, God of the Kikuyu people, Mount Kenya is Kenya's highest mountain, a national icon, a climbers' Mecca, the nation's namesake, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage site and a wildlife stronghold. Anyone in reasonable health can attempt the steep trek to Point Lenana (4,985 m), which is the highest point for trekkers.
Fact File
Altitude: 1,600-5,199 m above sea level.
Area: National Park 715 sq km, National Reserve 2,124 sq km.
Location: Nyeri District, Central Province.
Distance from Nairobi: Mount Kenya straddles the equator, 175 km north-east of Nairobi.
Gazetted: the National Park was gazetted in December 1949 and the National Reserve in July 2000.
Climate: Mount Kenya's weather is notoriously unpredictable and varies with altitude. At points over 4,000 m the mountain is usually freezing cold, misty and windy. During sunshine, daytime temperatures may rise to over 15˚C (over 4,000 m) and during periods of cloud cover they may drop to nearly 0˚C. Nocturnal temperatures habitually drop to around -10˚C.
Vegetation: alpine and sub-alpine flora with montane and bamboo forest, moorland and tundra.
Wildlife: includes; giant forest hog, tree hyrax, white-tailed mongoose, elephant, black rhino, suni, black-fronted duiker, bongo, leopard, Mount Kenya mouse shrew, hyrax, duiker and the endemic mole-rat.
Birds: 130 recorded species.
What's in a name?
To the indigenous people who lived in central Kenya for thousands of years, Mount Kenya had various names. The Kikuyu, who make up the bulk of Kenya's modern day population, called the mountain Kirinyaga, which roughly translated means, the 'white' or 'bright' mountain. The Embu people, meanwhile, called the mountain Kirenia (the mountain of whiteness), and the Maasai called it both Ol Donyo Eibor (the white mountain) and Ol Donyo Egere (the speckled mountain).
Namesake of a nation
Anthropologists and linguists believe that the modern name 'Kenya' comes from the Akamba people, who called the mountain Kiinyaa, the 'Mountain of the Ostrich', because, in their opinion, the dark rock and speckled ice fields looked like the tail feathers of the male ostrich.
Maasai laibons immortalized
The peaks of Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana were all named by Sir Halford Mackinder (who made the first recorded conquest of the mountain) in memory of three legendary Maasai laibons or medicine men, all of whom were renowned for their wisdom and bravery.
A giant born of fire and ice
Like most of East Africa's mountains, Mount Kenya is an extinct volcano with a massive volcanic cone, circular in shape and around 70 km in diameter. Born between 2.6 and 3.1 million years ago, it formed as successive layers of volcanic lava erupted with massive force from a central vent, which had burst open in the earth's surface.
Once the highest mountain in Africa?
Rising a majestic 5,000 m above its 800 m high surrounding plains, Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa (after Mount Kilimanjaro at 5, 896 m). Experts believe, however, that at its birth it may have been 1,000 m higher, which would have made it Africa's highest mountain.
Glaciers 16 km south of the equator
Considered the perfect example of an equatorial mountain, though it straddles the equator, Mount Kenya is permanently crowned in ice. A number of glaciers extend from the peaks, the largest being the Lewis Glacier, which lies along the route from Teleki Valley to Point Lenana via the Austrian Hut.
The wildlife of Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya's forests are rich in wildlife and shelter such threatened creatures as leopard, bongo, giant forest hog, black rhino and African elephant together with the uncommon central Kenyan species of black-fronted duiker.
Along the forest tracks, for instance, both elephants and buffalos are common while black and white colobus monkeys leap in the ravines and Sykes' monkeys feed along the roadsides. Bushbucks and Defassa waterbucks are plentiful, and after sunset the chilling screams of the tree hyraxes and the cries of the bush babies can be heard; white-tailed mongooses may also be picked up in the glare of the spotlight.
The dense understorey of the forest provides shelter for black-fronted duiker, suni, bush pig and giant forest hog (the latter first noted by scientists in 1904). The animals of the understorey are rarely seen by visitors, due to their natural shyness and the thick vegetation which constitutes their realm.
The forests are also home to one of Kenya's rarest creatures, the elusive bongo, a massive forest antelope with a rich red-brown coat banded with white stripes, which is now teetering on the brink of survival (less than 100 Eastern Mountain bongos remain in the wild, most of them in the Aberdare National Park).
Mountain bongo, flagship forest species
Weighing up to 450 kg, the massive bongo is the largest and rarest of Kenya's forest antelopes; it is also wholly endemic and restricted to the Kenyan highlands. The last sighting of a bongo on Mount Kenya was in 1994, while there are believed to be only one hundred or so remaining in the Aberdare National Park. Shy and easily disturbed, bongos range from the high forest glades to the bamboo zone, and even up to around 4000 m in pockets of sheltered woodland. Easily recognizable by the 12-14 vertical white stripes that emblazon the flanks of their bright chestnut coats, bongos tend to live in groups, while the old bulls usually leave their group to live out the last of their 12-14 year lifespan alone. A bongo breeding and re-introduction programme is currently being carried out by a number of institutions including the Bill Woodley Trust and KWS.
Leopards are common throughout the forests and have occasionally been seen as high as 4, 500 m, where they hunt for rock hyraxes and grass rats. Lions and serval cats are also infrequent visitors.
As for the rhinoceros, though the forests of Mount Kenya once offered a traditional stronghold for the black rhino, today only a few are thought to remain there. Above the forests, at around 2,400 m impenetrable thickets of bamboo appear, often pierced by dark tunnels which are the thoroughfares of elephants and buffalos. The glades of the heath zone, meanwhile, are the home of the giant Kenya mole rat, whose presence is flagged by the existence of what look like large mole hills thrown up in the turf. In the deep mossy glades you might also make out the slightly raised earth outlines that mark the tunnels of the endemic Mount Kenya mole shrew, while the earth mounds of the endemic Ruppell's root rat can often be seen in the Hinde Valley.
Above the forest zone the most commonly seen resident is the rock hyrax, which feeds on the abundant lobelia leaves proliferating there. Duiker, eland and other species of antelope are also present, while the Sirimon slopes of the mountain are home to a herd of zebra.
Lions have been known to hunt high on the Naro Moru trails, while elephants and buffalos are also occasional visitors (the skeleton of a buffalo found by Sir Halford Mackinder in 1899 can still be seen today). Rodents meanwhile abound, particularly the groove-toothed rats that scuttle along the trails.
Above the 3, 300 m line, vast swathes of blonde tussock grass stretch to the snowline. And although elephants and buffalos sometimes venture as high as 4000 m (especially in the Teleki Valley) and elands and zebras have been seen at the base of the peaks around 4, 300 m, this is essentially the realm of the rock hyraxes who thrive among the rock outcrops. Endemic mole rats are also common and there have been rare sightings of a mysterious 'golden cat'. The northern slopes, meanwhile, are the habitat of hartebeest , steinbok, zebra (especially along the Timau Route) and eland (often around the Sirimon roadhead).
Wildlife highlights: includes; giant forest hog, tree hyrax, white-tailed mongoose, elephant, black rhino, suni, black-fronted duiker, bongo, leopard, Mount Kenya mouse shrew, hyrax, duiker and the endemic mole-rat. Birds: 130 recorded species.
The birds of Mount Kenya
An ornithologist's paradise Boasting the second highest bird-count in Africa (after the Democratic Republic of Congo), Kenya numbers over 1,070 species of birds (compared to 300 in Britain and 600 in North America). And, though forests cover only 1% of sub-Saharan Africa, 30% of Africa's total of 1,500 bird species live in her forests. In Kenya, 335 of the bird species inhabit the forests, of which 230 are entirely forest-dependant and 110 are forest-specialist.
Did you know? The prevailing bird spotting record in Kenya stands at 797 species in 25 days.
The best time for bird watching is early morning and late afternoon in the rainy seasons, and during the winters of the northern world, when Kenya hosts a wide range of European migratory species.
Mount Kenya's birdlife, abundant and rare
The mountain is rich in montane bird fauna with 53 out of Kenya's 67 African highlands biome species, at least 35 forest-specialist species and 6-8 of the species that make up the Kenyan montane endemic bird area.
What to see, and where
In the forests that cloak the lower slopes, pairs of Hunter's cisticolas duet on top of bushes, Hartlaub's turacos glide across the road with a flash of scarlet wing feathers, silvery-cheeked hornbills swoop and sun themselves (especially near the Naro Moru Gate) and red-fronted parrots flock around the fruiting Podocarpus trees.
As you walk you may see white-headed wood hoopoes probing the cracks of the gnarled forest trees for insects, or the cinnamon-chested bee-eaters which snap up prey from exposed branches. The forest also hosts two species of francolin, the Jackson's francolin and the scaly francolin, both of which will scurry away into the undergrowth at your approach.
In the deep, marshy forest glades, you may spot the rare Mount Kenya race of the green ibis, while another great rarity the Abyssinian long-eared owl has been recorded in the high forest near the Sirimon track.
High on the moorlands alpine chats perch fearlessly at arm's length while jewel-hued sunbirds probe the everlasting flowers, gladioli and brilliant blue delphinium. Scarlet-tufted malachite sunbirds may be seen feeding on half hidden lobelia blossoms. Slender -billed and red-winged starlings also hunt through the lobelia for the thin-shelled snails that make their home there.
Above 3, 300 m the birdlife includes African snipes in the grasslands, African black ducks on the tarns and white-naped ravens scavenging around the huts. High above the crags cruise the mighty lammergeyers (especially around Sendeo or Terere Peaks on the Sirimon Route). Mottled and scarce swifts are also common and alpine swifts can often be seen near Two Tarn Hut.
The People of Mount Kenya
Mount Kenya represents the ancestral home and heartland of the Bantu-speaking Kikuyu people, Kenya's largest ethnic group. Heavily influential throughout Kenya's history, the Kikuyu were instrumental in leading the fight for independence. They also provided the country with its first President, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, and have forced the pace of all subsequent political developments. The original Kikuyu are thought to have migrated from the east and north-east of the continent in the 16th century. However, because land was the dominant factor in their social, political, religious and economic life, this brought them into conflict, first with the Maasai, and then with the European settlers, who seized large tracts of their territory. Despite these conflicts, the Kikuyu have adapted to the challenges of Western culture more successfully than any other Kenyan ethnic group and are amongst its most vigorous business people and politicians. They are also successful and progressive farmers who grow coffee, tea, pyrethrum horticultural crops, vegetables and flowers for the export market.
Traditionally the Kikuyu have always believed that their God, 'Ngai', lives amongst the snow-capped peaks of the mountain. And, although Christianity has altered these beliefs, there are still many churchgoers who maintain that their ancestors control their destiny thanks to their closeness to 'Ngai'.

As a longtime social service worker with my church, I know teen pregnancy is one of the leading causes of poverty among those who already suffer the handicap of insufficient education and lack of skills.
I do, however, believe there is another side to this issue. Several of our clients, mostly young women, have told us recently that many agencies won't help them, and food stamps have been denied to them, because they don't have children.
Most of these young women are trying hard to educate themselves, and make a good life for themselves, unburdened by children, before taking on family responsibilities. It seems grossly unfair to penalize them for this. Also, the temptation to have children to qualify for more assistance must exist in these circumstances.
How do we rectify this situation? I believe those making decisions about qualifying for government assistance or other types of aid should consider this issue, and change their policies. Women who are trying their best eventually to live independently should be given every benefit to help them when needed.
Why not encourage young women to remain childless until they can support a family, by allowing them special benefits for doing so? Encouragement would seem, in the end, to be a more effective strategy than penalizing those who are trying to help themselves. The children these women eventually bring into the world will undoubtedly have a better start in life than those who start out in poverty. Think about it.

Ordered it early morning yesterday, paid the $16 2-Day delivery and it just arrived! Canon 5D MkIII. Charging battery (no charge on it). Like a newbie, I should have ordered some additional memory cards. Such an amateur.
I did step out to Bad Buy yesterday to get the 40/f2.8 pancake for testing. I'll need to get comfortable with this camera, and the Canon experience as I've been in Nikon since the 80's.
The Canon experience. Well...you'll find some differences with the Nikon experience, that's for sure.
I own several cameras including the 5D3 and D800E which I usually mount with lenses of different FLs to limit lens changes in the field (among other reasons). Almost every time I handle one or the other brand, I am reminded of the differences in how a function is executed by each brand. I would say, on the small stuff, Nikon nudges out Canon for the more photographer friendly implementations. Canon beats Nikon handily for Live View and rear LCD visibility.
On the major stuff, AF & fps vs resolution, neither company has both though I do not find the D800's AF inferior in any way.

Supported bus services in East Sussex are under threat.
The county council proposes to cut £1.8 million from its transport budget over two years which will have a devastating effect in some areas.
Many rural bus services could be cut from six days a week to just two days and others halved in frequency.
Local services in Lewes could also be cut as well as the evening service on Brighton & Hove routes 28/29 to Ringmer, Uckfield and Tunbridge Wells.
We urge bus users to object to their local councillors and MPs and to respond to the consultation which closes on 28 September at www.eastsussex.gov.uk/haveyoursay.

The Hamilton hunter who shot dead Lower Hutt teacher Rosemary Ives has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
The charge was upgraded from careless use of a firearm causing death.
Andrew Mears' lawyer says he is terrified at the prospect of prison, but wants to face the consequences of his mistake.
Mears was on the verge of tears as he pleaded guilty to killing Ms Ives.
Yesterday police upgraded the charge against him from one of careless use of a firearm causing death to manslaughter.
"The feature that makes it more serious than the average one is that he was hunting in breach of the terms of his permit, and his permit said no hunting at night," says lawyer Roger Laybourn.
Mr Laybourn says it's unusual for manslaughter charges to be laid in a hunting case and he'd like to see Parliament introduce an intermediary charge.
"Here we have this extraordinary gap between the level of careless causing death, which has a three-year penalty, and manslaughter, which has a maximum of life imprisonment."
Jan Lindeman has been hunting for 60 years, and is concerned the actions of one hunter will cause more restrictions against hunters.
"I think he's doing the right thing by pleading guilty. The thing that worries me is people like this giving hunting a bad name."
Mears will be sentenced in February and is aware he could face prison time.
"Well frankly he's terrified," says Mr Laybourn, "but he has accepted very early on that consequences must follow."
Manslaughter carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, but Mears lawyer is hoping he'll avoid jail altogether. He'll be asking the judge for either a suspended sentence or home detention.

The Baskerville area of Dublin was recently awarded a grant that should help the renovation and growth of the existing community.
The Community Development Block Grant was awarded to the Dublin community in the amount of $1 million, as announced by Governor Bob McDonnell. One of the main aspects of the plan calls for an upgrade to existing water and sewer lines in the community.
"The Town of Dublin accepted a gracious invitation extended by Mr. Shawn Utt, community development director for Pulaski County, to cooperate with the grant in every way," said Dublin Town manager William Parker. "Our portion will fund new infrastructure, primarily water and sewer line extensions serving the community."
Also involved in the project will be the demolition of one structure that is vacant and the revitalization of 11 homes and a rental property in the community. All of these projects are expected to begin sometime in the winter months.
In order to be eligible for the grant, each resident in the community must have fallen into certain criteria as part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Two people were forced from their homes because of the deterioration of their living conditions.
"I personally, as well as the mayor and Town Council, feel that it is an excellent opportunity to provide improvements for the community as a whole," Parker said. "Moreover, without the grant funding, it would be next to impossible to fund such an undertaking in today's economy."
According to the HUD Web site, the Community Development Block Grant program was founded in 1974 and is one of the longest running programs operated by HUD.

How to Get Rid of Actual Holes Left over from Piercings?
Dear Emily4939,
Body piercing holes sometimes close on their own, depending on the age, size, location, time since used, and individual person.
The piercing holes can usually be closed or removed through a simple office procedure in which the hole is removed and the surrounding tissues are used to close the defect.
Please consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation.
Warmest wishes,
Larry Fan, MD
Body piercing
Body peircing hole are lined with epithelium and will not usually close on their own. Basically the skin has to be cored out from the hole to allow it to close. This could be as simple as using a punch biopsy device and putting a stitch on both sides to close it.

It is unrealistic to expect these holes to close on their own.
Like everything in life. If you want something to happen it never seems to happen. The best course is to have a the holes excised and carefully reconstructed. There are several surgical specialties that perform this work not just board certified general plastic surgeons. A facial plastic surgery is probably a safer choice for the lip.

Well, it has been quite some time since I've done a Menu Planning Monday post. And it is time!!
Simplified Home reprise
Ah, it's time to regroup. A spring spruce up in my kitchen hasn't been finished yet, but it has thrown me into a tizzy. So I need to get back into my groove with posting my menus every week again. I want you to know that I'm still planning monthly menus but I will be posting once a week again. Planning my meals is the easy part. Getting a car to get my weekly shopping done is a bigger struggle. With 9 people at home, several of whom have jobs or go to college and only our 15 passenger van and my daughter's car, we find transportation a challenge. I'm hoping that posting my menus each week will be a push to get my shopping all done in 1 fell swoop, which will then help to get my simplified life back on track. A reminder that I offer fruit at breakfast, raw veggies at lunch and either cooked veggies or salad with suppers. Feel free to download and use either my Month at a Glance Writeable Menu Planner or my Weekly Writeable Menu Planner.
So what are you doing today to simplify your home? Are you planning your menu for the week to help you save time and money? Join with me and link your posts below that fit in with this focus today!

TV Guide is reporting that ABC has opted out of its legal wrangling with Prospect Park over the fate of the three actors — Kristen Alderson, Michael Easton and Roger Howarth — who are under contract to the network, but the rights to whose characters are in Prospect Park's domain, precipitating the departures last week of Starr, John and Todd. As a result, the trio are expected to return to GH, but not as their Llanview-to-Port Charles incarnations; rather, they will be playing new characters. Howarth will, however, reprise the role of Todd for a short-term stint on the online relaunch of OLTL this spring.

What are you doing with your food scraps? Your yard debris? Instead of throwing these items in the trash, consider composting them.
You've probably heard about it but what exactly is composting? Composting is nature's way of recycling. Microorganisms break down organic material - like yard trimmings and food scraps - into a dark, crumbly, soil-like amendment that can be used for gardening and landscaping.
Turn your waste into a valuable product.
Whether you're a homeowner, an educator, a solid waste professional or a business owner, composting reduces your waste, your water bill and your fertilizer purchases, saving you money.
Let us help you get started.
The Office of Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling (Office) offers free resources and assistance to help residents, schools, local government and businesses compost more and waste less. For additional information, call 1-800-768-7348.
Compost is a free fertilizer and mulch you can make in your own backyard. To get started composting at home, check out our residential composting guide or fact sheets on composting and grasscycling.
Unsure about what to put in your backyard compost pile? Use the "Compost This!" card as a quick reference.
Looking for more in-depth guidance on sustainable gardening practices? Download the S.C. Smart Gardener Handbook.
If you're not ready to compost yourself, many local governments compost residential yard trimmings. Some local governments sell or give away compost for you to use, too. To see if these services are available in your area, choose the county where you live.
Just like your recycling program, composting can save you money by reducing your waste disposal costs. Businesses of all sizes have a range of on-site composting options. Your business can:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides a detailed explanation of the different types of composting methods on its website.
If your business is in Charleston County, you may be able to participate in its food waste composting program.
For additional information about composting for businesses, see the Techinical Assistance – Composting is Smart Business – Fact Sheet or contact the Smart Business Recycling Program or Green Hospitality Program.
Composting provides hands-on learning for students and complements existing school recycling efforts. Plus, it may help your school save money. If you want to start composing at school, see Composting: A Guide for South Carolina Schools.
Not sure how composting would work at your school? Learn how students at Oakview Elementary and Charleston County schools compost its cafeteria waste.
Starting with the 2014-2015 school year, the Office will offer training, presentations and workshops specifically about school composting. For more information, call 1-800-768-7348.
Local Governments
Take your recycling program to the next level by composting. Composting makes a valuable soil amendment that can be used for landscaping, erosion control and even remediation projects. Plus, you can gain community support by providing compost to the public.
Counties in South Carolina are already making and using compost. Learn how Charleston County has expanded its composting program to accept food waste.
Encourage your residents and businesses to compost, too. The Office provides customizable materials to help you spread the word about composting and assistance starting or growing your composting program. To request copies of publications or for additional information, call 1-800-768-7348.
Composting Regulations
If you are a business, local government, college/university or other entity interested in starting a new composting operation, call the DHEC Division of Mining and Solid Waste at 803-898-1367 to find out if you need a permit. Please note that backyard composting does not require a permit.
If your college or university produces food scraps or landscaping debris, composting can save your school money by cutting down on disposal costs and by reducing costs for fertilizer. Composting operations can be large or small depending on the size of your college/university and the amount of compostable material generated on campus. See our composting methods factsheet for a detailed explanation of the different composting methods. For additional information about in-vessel composting see our in-vessel composting fact sheet
For additional information about composting see the technical assistance fact sheet or contact the RecycleU Program at firstname.lastname@example.com or 800-768-7348.

How Do I Prepare?
Every personal injury case is different and presents unique questions about what type of civil claims exist, when and against whom these claims can be asserted, and what legal defenses exist.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with your specific questions at 314-A-LAWYER (314-252-9937).
Who is responsible for repairs after a car crash?
The person at fault in a car crash is ultimately responsible and must pay, though many insurance companies will repair or replace your car before your injury case is resolved. If they refuse and your insurance policy has auto collision coverage, you may choose to make a claim under your own insurance policy instead of waiting for the result of your lawsuit.
However, you will have to pay your deductible cost upfront, and collect that amount from the wrongdoer at the end of your claim. As your attorney, we help you get your medical payment coverage, resolve your auto damage claim, and get a free loaner car.
When someone dies, who has the legal right to pursue a wrongful death claim?
A wrongful death claim belongs to the survivors and only certain people have the right to pursue a claim. Different classes of survivor– spouse, child, parent or more distant relatives have different rights.
Do I collect for the medical bills that my health insurance pays?
Your health insurance is a benefit to you, not someone who injured you. By law, you are allowed to recover the cost of your medical care even if your health insurance has paid for it. Why? Under most insurance plans, you have a limited amount of benefits so you should not be forced to use these limited benefits because of another's fault. Some health insurance plans may seek reimbursement from you if you win your case. We will help you minimize this amount, if reimbursement is allowed at all.
Do I collect for missed work, even if I am covered by a sick leave plan?
Sick leave, like health insurance, is a benefit to you. If you are forced to use your vacation or sick leave time due to another's fault, you are allowed to recover these losses. Watch this CNN special report – it's "No Accident"
Are photos important to my case?
Yes, photos are priceless in a personal injury claim. If you're involved in a vehicle crash, photos of your smashed car, truck or bike will tell the story of the impact. Photos of the place where you were injured give color to the story of your injury. In the case of a defective product that cannot be preserved, photos may keep your case from being thrown out of court.
What if I am hurt at work?
Work related injuries are typically controlled by Workers Compensation law, and under this law, your case proceeds in front of a judge rather than a jury. You are entitled to medical treatment, a portion of your wages while you are unable to work, and a final amount for the disability from your injury. Disability, under Workers Compensation law does not necessarily mean complete disability.
If you work for the railroad, on a riverboat, or are hurt through the fault of someone other than your employer, including a fellow employee, Workers Compensation law may not be your only remedy. If you are hurt on the job, contact us for a free consultation – there is no fee unless we collect for you.
Will I have to go to trial?
It has been our experience that while most personal injury cases settle out of court, it is necessary that we fully prepare your case for trial. No insurance company will pay the full value of your claim if they think you are not going to win at trial. Too often injury victims don't hire experienced trial attorneys and learn this lesson too late.
If I can't come to your office because of injuries, will you travel to meet with me?
Yes! While we often gather your initial information over the phone and through the mail, we will make "house calls" to your home, hospital room or other location in extreme circumstances.
Should I "disturb" my lawyer with calls and letters?
The relationship between you and your lawyer is a confidential and professional one. While many clients are concerned that an email, letter or call to their attorney is unwelcome, nothing could be farther from the truth.
The S.E. Farris Law Firm is committed to providing personal service which requires prompt communication. Should we be in trial or away from the office, our response may be delayed, but we will return your call or email promptly.
Call 314-A-LAWYER (252-9937) or contact us online.

Braintree Town Council President Charles Kokoros of District 1 argues that the board did not violate the Open Meeting Law.
In a four-page reply to the complaint filed by Town Clerk Joseph Powers, town council President Charles Kokoros of District 1 argued there was no violation of the Open Meeting Law last month when the council's committees on ways and means and ordinances and rules met six days apart regarding travel expenses of the council's office and the town clerk's office.
"Notwithstanding the council's position that no violation of the Open Meeting Law occurred, the council acknowledges that a determination of violation ultimately rests with the office of the attorney general," Kokoros stated in a letter to state Attorney General Martha Coakley that was approved by a 7-0 Dec. 19 vote of the council. (District 5 Councilor Ronald DeNapoli and District 6 Councilor Paul "Dan" Clifford were absent.)
Prior to the vote, Councilors-at-large Sean Powers and Charles Ryan commended Town Solicitor Carolyn Murray for her work drafting the council's response to the complaint Joseph Powers made Dec. 3. The reply, which was required to be sent to Coakley by Dec. 20, was "very thorough," Sean Powers said.
In a Nov. 7 report Town Auditor Eric Kinsherf submitted after conducting a review of travel expenses from fiscal 2012 to 2014 to date, he found there was no pre-approval process for conference, lodging and travel expenses, some payment requests for submitted travel expenses didn't have the council president's signature and invoices about conferences did not include agenda or course information, the number of days attended and the expected value to the town.
In his complaint, Joseph Powers challenged the specificity of meeting notices for the Nov. 19 ways and means meeting and the Nov. 25 ordinances and rules meeting, both of which included "financial audit meeting expenses" as an agenda item.
Neither meeting notice referred to "any discussion on policy relative to financial audits or travel expenses as was expressly discussed (Nov. 6) by the full town council," he stated.
Asked what action he wanted to be taken as a result of his complaint, Joseph Powers replied that the council should file proper notices and reconvene meetings of the ways and means and ordinances and rules committees to give "full and specific notice" of the discussion relative to adopting a policy on travel expenses.
In response to the complaint, Kokoros argued that no Open Meeting Law violation occurred when the ways and means committee met Nov. 19 because no policy was "discussed in detail or formulated." Instead, he declared the committee reviewed Kinsherf's audit report and findings before voting to refer the matter to the ordinances and rules committee, which would, in turn, develop a policy.
"It is the position of the council that the meeting notice and agenda properly alerted the public that a financial audit on meeting expenses would be discussed so that any interested person could attend the meeting to hear the discussion," Kokoros stated. "Further, it is the position of the council that the discussion of a policy related to meeting expenses is a natural extension of the audit findings, such that an interested reasonable person could anticipate the policy as a related, ancillary discussion."
As for the Nov. 25 ordinances and rules meeting, Kokoros argued before repeating the council's position concerning the Nov. 19 ways and means meeting that no Open Meeting Law violation occurred then either since the committee decided to defer development of the policy until its Dec. 3 meeting
At that time, members thought they would finalize a travel expenses policy before submitting it to the council for a possible vote, but this didn't happen. Instead, following the advice of Murray, both the committee and the council tabled action before Kokoros scheduled a special Dec. 9 meeting to discuss the complaint Joseph Powers filed earlier in the day.
"If the committee discusses a policy on meeting expenses tonight and offers a recommendation to the full council to adopt a policy of meeting expenses, both bodies, now that they are aware of the Open Meeting Law complaint on this issue, may risk committing an intentional violation of the Open Meeting Law if they take further action on the matter," stated Murray in an email to Kokoros, noting that such a violation could result in financial penalties imposed by Coakley's office.
She suggested that the committee and the council defer the issue until a later meeting for which the notice and the agenda would indicate that the discussion would include consideration of adopting an expenses policy.
Murray also advised Kokoros to include a discussion of the Open Meeting Law complaint on the agenda for the Dec. 9 council meeting, pointing out that the council is required, within 14 business days of receiving a complaint, to send a copy to the attorney general's office and advise it of any remedial action taken.

World Champs! We've had quite a week in the neighborhood. Our local Little League, Park View, won the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, PA on Sunday. Most of our ministry occurs on the Mexican side of the border in the northern part of the Mexican state of Baja California. Our home, though, is located on the US side of the border in Chula Vista, just north of Tijuana and south of San Diego. With well over 200,000 in population, we're really not a small place and there are some eight or nine Little Leagues within Chula Vista's boundaries. What makes this even more special is that Park View is our local league, the one in which both of our sons, Aaron and Daniel played.
Crossing the border now to Mexico.......
In our last update we wrote about Teresa Miranda, the first missionary to be supported fully by Baja Baptist Convention churches. She is off this week to begin her ministry as director of a cross-cultural missionary training school in southern Mexico. She begins this new phase of her mission work with the promise of both prayer and financial underpinning. Her commissioning service was very well attended with over 300 present from churches throughout the north of Baja.
Mexican grade schools began last week and we are pleased to report that the Monte Horeb School, where Patti teaches, is off to a much better than expected start. It usually takes a few weeks for most students to return to classes yet after only a week there are over 100 already enrolled, including most all of Patti's special needs children. They are still looking to hire two teachers, though.
As we write these notes a powerful hurricane, Jimena, is bearing down on southern Baja. That's one thousand miles away from us but we are concerned for the general population as well as the many pastors and churches we know and work with from southern Baja. Especially susceptible to loss of homes and lives are the thousands of workers who have migrated to the area to work in the tourist industry. We trust that the current evacuations now being ordered will be effective and drastically reduce any loss of life.
In appreciation of your continued support and prayers,
Patti and Tim

We use cloth, and there are about 6 brands I am very loyal to. Most are made by different Cafemoms :)
We use Pampers. We've used Huggies, Parent's Choice, Up & up, and Luvs.
Pampers work the best for us.
LUVS or Pampers. Luvs when her father gets them Pampers when i get them. Huggies use to give her a really bad rash!
I use cloth diapers...Flips with organic cotton flip inserts or prefolds inside, my fave...if I had to choose a disposable brand I would choose huggies or pampers...ampers were great for my 1st and 2nd...I mostly cloth diapered my third since birth, but whenever he used disposables pampers gave him a terrible rash, huggies seem to be a little better for his skin...but I still swear by my cloth, absolutely love it.

I had paid for an international flight ticket at Nageesha travels and tours at Naugasse 41 8005 Zurich and was to travel a month later. When I went to board my flight, I was told the ticket was not proper. (was only booked and not confirmed). I could not fly that day and I went to the travel agent. He gave some lame excuse and told me that he would get me a ticket for tomorrow. He asked me to pay for this second ticket which was exorbitant price since it was a last minute ticket. He said he would refund me this price for the second ticket in a few days and provided me with a refund voucher.
After I returned from my trip, I check the bank account and the refund has not been made by the travel agent. I went to the travel agent and found that he has changed the name of his travel agency. It appears that he probably filed for bankruptcy and now runs that travel agency under a different name. He has been telling me that he will refund me the money but has never done that. He is a LIAR and a FRAUDSTER.
