Whoops! I almost forgot to post about this week's TWD recipe, chosen by Carmen. You see, I was so excited about this cake that I baked it super early--last Tuesday instead of this past Saturday as I usually do. I too like "plain" "dry" cakes, so I was amped and even did the full recipe instead of halving it. Hope level was HIGH. Code Red Expectations over here.
I love coconut, and I love lime, so I decided to use that variation on the recipe.
lime sugar smells SO GOOD!
This cake was a little unconventional in its preparation. You start off beating sugar and eggs and then adding flour and leavening, but here you add hot (coconut) milk, too, after you add the flour. This seemed dodgy as you generally try to handle batter as little as possible once the flour is in. There is also very little butter and it is melted in the coconut milk. I used "lite" milk, so I suppose my cake was kind of lowfat? It was late, so I didn't bother toasting the coconut, though now I kinda wish I had to cut some of the sweetness.
The batter was really thin. Surprisingly so. I wasn't sure what would happen and I was afraid the lime zest would all migrate to the bottom of the pan. It was bubbly, too.
My fear was unfounded. The cake came out beautifully.
Taste: was ok but disappointing. It looked fantastic, was very, very moist and very coconutty and very limey--but somehow it wasn't nearly as compelling as I expected. I tasted a LOT of sugar. I couldn't taste the rum at all. I made it, had a slice, thought, "not too shabby," and promptly forgot about it for a week. That's not a good sign. If I were to make again I'd definitely do a lime glaze for it, at the least. But I don't think I'll be making it again.

Ask the millions of parents whose children have had the hereditary skin condition eczema and many will report that the first ''trick'' their babies learned was how to scratch the intensely itchy lesions against the crib sheets. Some will even say that the itchiness kept their babies from sleeping through the night.
Beyond such reports, you're likely to hear what Dr. Herbert P. Goodheart, a New York expert on the condition, might call a myth -- that the baby is reacting allergically to milk-based formula or some other food that must be eliminated from the child's diet. Another common belief that he considers erroneous is that exposure to water (as in baths) should be limited.
Dr. Lawrence Eichenfield, chief of pediatric and adolescent dermatology at Children's Hospital in San Diego, said: ''There's been an overemphasis on specific allergens. Although most children with eczema may test positive for certain allergens, avoiding those substances doesn't change the course of the disease.''
In other words, the baby may indeed be allergic to various substances, but eliminating exposure to them is unlikely to clear up the eczema. Rarely is eczema brought on by allergens, Dr. Eichenfield said, though dust mites may occasionally be a trigger. Instead, he explained, eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is primarily a built-in hypersensitivity that goes along with other atopic conditions like asthma, hay fever and hives.
Like asthma, eczema appears to be on the rise. And about half of the children with widespread eczema develop asthma by their teenage years.
Eczema tends to wax and wane. Although many children outgrow it -- some as early as age 5, some by 8 -- it becomes a lifelong problem for others, and it can be cosmetically distressing and socially inhibiting, not to mention very annoying.
All told, 12 percent to 15 percent of American children and an estimated total of 15 million children and adults are affected.
Treatments Are Improving
The good news is that there is a revolution brewing in how skin problems like eczema can be treated. The standard treatment for four decades has been the use of topical steroids -- or oral ones for severe flare-ups -- which have some risks if used chronically. In December, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first of a new class of drugs called topical immunomodulators, which are highly effective in suppressing eczema even though they contain no steroids.
The new drug, tacrolimus, sold by Fujisawa Healthcare under the trade name Protopic, is an ointment approved for use on adults and on children age 2 and older. Coming along the regulatory process is a second topical immunomodulator, pimecrolimus, by Novartis. It appears to be safe to use on children as young as 3 months, which is when eczema commonly starts in babies.
The main advantage of these drugs is that they are skin-selective. That means that when applied to the skin they stay there, as opposed to steroids, which are more penetrating and can be absorbed into the bloodstream, potentially causing unwanted side effects.
Dr. Goodheart, whose photoessays on eczema were published in the last four issues of the journal Women's Health in Primary Care, called the new topical immunomodulators ''the most exciting thing in dermatology in decades.''
''Protopic ointment is so safe it can be used on the eyelids of a 2-year-old,'' Dr. Goodheart said. And now, he added, doctors are using it for inflammatory skin disorders like psoriasis, even though it has not been specifically approved for those conditions.
Protopic and pimecrolimus also appear to be safe for intermittent long-term use, whereas long-term use of steroids, even topical ones, can be hazardous. The new drugs do not cure atopic dermatitis; nothing does.
Nor do they bring complete relief to everyone affected. The three 12-week studies that formed the basis of F.D.A. approval for Protopic found that the drug resulted in 90 percent improvement in about a third of patients, with lesser degrees of improvement in others.
But, Dr. Eichenfield pointed out, use of these drugs will allow more sparing use of steroids, and the extra options will greatly enhance the safety of long-term treatments for eczema.
Coping With Eczema
Although specific allergies may not be the usual cause of eczema, certain environmental and internal conditions can make matters worse.
''One of the common triggers is a change in the weather,'' Dr. Goodheart said. For some people, it's the dryness of winter air; for others, it's hot humid weather that causes sweating. Atmospheric conditions that ease eczema in some people make it worse in others, although the dryness of winter heat is the more common irritant.
As for internal matters, stress is the most common factor to bring on an attack of eczema, perhaps because stress can disrupt the body's immune system and make any autoimmune condition worse.
For those allergic to dust mites, keeping the household as dust-free as possible may help to limit flare-ups, although Dr. Goodheart is skeptical about the importance of dust mites in eczema outbreaks. But Dr. Goodheart and Dr. Eichenfield agree that there is little point in trying to eliminate possible allergy-causing foods from a child's diet in hopes of curing eczema.
But there are other practical steps that are likely to help. Although pediatricians commonly advise parents to limit the number and length of baths for children with eczema, Dr. Goodheart maintains that ''bathing is good if it is done properly -- it gets rid of bacteria and other potential allergens from the skin.''
He recommends bathing in lukewarm water without harsh soap and avoiding the use of any soap on lesions. Instead, use one of the more moisturizing products labeled ''bath bar'' (Dove or Oil of Olay bath bar, for example) or a product like Cetaphil or Aveeno cleanser, which are far less irritating than soap. Immediately after bathing, while the skin is still moist, sufferers should apply a moisturizer to help the skin retain the water it has absorbed.
Topical steroids and moisturizers, the mainstay of treatment since the 1960's, are likely to be used even after practicing physicians become familiar with the new products. The goal is not to eliminate steroids but to keep their use to a minimum.
Steroids work because eczema involves an inflammatory reaction in the skin and topical steroids effectively relieve inflammation. For mild cases of eczema, an ointment containing 1 percent hydrocortisone, which is sold over the counter, may be all that is needed to keep the condition under control.
If that doesn't do the trick, the next step is a prescription steroid applied in a very thin layer over the affected area, with a moisturizer smeared over it to keep it from rubbing off. Only in very severe cases are oral steroids used.

The Best TV Drama Shows of the 1970s
List Rules Any drama series that aired during the 1970s.
List of the best dramas on television in the 70s, as ranked by television critics and fans. The 1970s was not just about Farrah Fawcett haircuts and skinny jean fashion. The culture was also defined by the groundbreaking dramas that were popping up on television in both the UnitedStates and United Kingdom. Trends that were once popular in the 60s were beginning to die off, such as the televised western. Bonanza and Gunsmoke were the only two westerns that survived into the 70s.
Two genres steadily rose in the 70s: crime shows and science fiction dramas. The stars of crime dramas quickly became icons, with their feathered hair and serious dispositions. Many of the detectives from these shows became legends of the genre, from Kojak's lollipop sucking detective skills to Columbo and his cunning ways of tricking a criminal into slipping up.Science fiction shows like Wonder Woman and Battlestar Galactica worked as a foundation for a drama genre that would continue to grow over the years.
This list answers the question, "What are the best TV dramas of the 70s?" The shows on this list range from family friendly period pieces like The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie to medical dramas like Quincy,M.E. These dramas truly capture the feel of the 70s.

Mark spun in circles and his eyes scanned the leaf covered ground. It was still the park, but where was the playground?
The statue of the angel was still there. But, was it different, too? He shivered from its stony gaze.
A twig snapped to his left and he turned to look. He swung his eyes back to the angel. Did it move? No, it can't have moved. But, it was different. The hands clasped together before, not outstretched toward him, right?
A rustle. He turned toward the sound, but a prickling on the back of his neck swung his gaze back to the angel, now twenty feet from him.
Mark jumped backward.
No, this was not happening. He stepped backward away from the angel, and hit something. No, someone. He spun and a man stood there. Older, and somehow familiar. "Who are you?"
The man smiled. "I'm the doctor."
I would love to discuss this story and more with you. You can Contact me through email, or Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads.

This extraordinary national park, whose unique characteristics are the result of the proximity of its mountains to the sea and a combination of Mediterranean, Alpine and continental weather influences, boasts a hugely diverse character which makes it truly unique.
Its wealth of flora and fauna, the varied splendour of its landscapes, renowned wild nature and its rich historical and cultural heritage all contributed to its designation as a national park in 1979.
From olive trees to mountain pastures and larch forests to snow-capped peaks, the Mercantour is home to flora and fauna and landscapes of a rare diversity and variety, even on a global scale. The Massif du Mercantour is the only high mountain national park in France where you can find every stage of vegetation. With its summits in excess of 3,000m in height, its numerous glacial lakes and six valleys, each with their own distinct character, the Parc National du Mercantour is a unique jewel of pristine nature – and just one hour from the coast!
At the heart of the park you'll come across the Vallée des Merveilles, an archaeological site with over 30,000 wall engravings which bear witness to the sacred rituals relating to agricultural and pastoral activities in protohistory dating back to 2500BC, and where shepherds would come to immortalise their pagan beliefs.
A few unmissable hikes are:
- the Vallée de la Vésubie: Trecolpas circuit / a hike of average difficulty starting from Le Boréon – ascent/descent +500m/-500m – duration 4hr
- Vallée de la Roya: the Vallée des Merveilles / a hike of average difficulty starting from Tende – ascent/descent +1,000m/-1,000m – duration 8hr
- Vallée de la Tinée: Baisse du Druos / a hike of average difficulty starting from the ski resort of Isola 2000 – ascent/descent +600m/-600m – duration 4hr

Posted by Jamie Fitzke | Date April 16, 2018
This joint letter was submitted to Minnesota Representative Pat Garofalo, Chair, and the House Job Growth and Energy Affordability Policy and Finance Committee Members on Friday, April 13, 2018. The undersigned oppose proposals introduced in the 2018 legislative session that would negatively impact Minnesota's Conservation Improvement Program.
Dear Chair Garofalo & House Job Growth and Energy Affordability Policy and Finance Committee Members,
Our organizations – representing consumer groups, the business community, the clean energy community and the hundreds of heating, cooling and lighting contractors all over the state -- urge you to not include any changes to the Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) in the omnibus supplemental budget bill your committee will be acting on this session.
CIP has consistently been Minnesota's most successful energy policy since its inception, saving Minnesota energy consumers over $3.5 billion dollars just since 2007. We collectively recognize that, while conditions may warrant updating CIP to ensure it continues to provide significant consumer benefits, any changes to CIP must be data-driven and fully vetted to ensure against unintended consequences.
To this end, the Minnesota Department of Commerce has contracted to update the statewide potential for cost-effective energy efficiency available to utilities and customers across the state. This Statewide Energy Efficiency Potential Study will be available in the fall of 2018. The study is led by the Center for Energy and Environment and guided by a broad-based advisory committee including the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, investor and customer owned utilities, and consumer groups. Information provided by the study will be critical in evolving CIP's path in Minnesota.
Cost-effective energy efficiency is Minnesota's lowest cost energy resource, reducing energy costs for all customers and giving individual utility customers greater control of their energy bills. In addition, contractors use CIP incentives to motivate customers to install high efficiency equipment, generating economic value to local economies and ensuring Minnesota businesses remain competitive. A recent economic analysis by the well-respected Cadmus Group revealed CIP delivers over $4 in benefits for every $1 spent on the program.
Once the results of the study come back in fall 2018, we look forward to using the study results to have a data-driven discussion about how to make CIP work best for Minnesota. Any changes to the program before we receive those results, though, would be premature.
So, we again urge you to not include any changes to CIP in the 2018 legislative session, and to work with us in 2019 to ensure that CIP continues to significantly benefit Minnesota energy consumers.
Thank you for your consideration and we all stand ready to answer any questions you might have.

But AFAIR it was removed from the public API before the 0.5 release. So, 0.5 does not export it. The application used by the OP is probably very old, and has not been converted to the new (swscale) API. In my understanding, the OP can: 1) checkout an old ffmpeg version from svn, which supports img_convert() or 2) port the application to the swscale API Luca

My personal tribute to the finest open-air museum anywhere. Please begin your journey to the past at the 1st post July 8, 2008
Originally from Newton, New Hampshire, this shoe shop, run by William Currier, dates back to the 1880's and represents one of the earlier smaller shoe factories where machinery was used. Mr. Currier, who worked at this building for more than 60 years, would hire neighbors to help run the steam-run machines that drove the stitching machine and buffer as well as do the hand work.
During the 19th century there were around two thousand small shoe shop factories in America similar to this one. Because of their size, these shops were called "ten-footers" and were often located beside the shoemaker's home.
The cobbler would work all the day and into the evening hours, using the smoky kerosene lantern for light.
When this building was located in side of Greenfield Village, originally situated right next to the Cooper Shop (how wonderful that must have been!), it would show many of the objects used by Mr. Currier (and other shoemakers) such as the rack upon which the new shoes were dried, cutting patterns, a leather-splitting machine, and even the waxed thread used. Some of these tools are still shown, although the structure is now, for some reason, located inside of the Henry Ford Museum rather than in the Village. It was moved there, from what I understand, in the mid 1990's.
The photographs taken of the Currier Shoe Shop are all from inside the Henry Ford Museum.
Deluge Fire House:
The mid-19th century Deluge Firehouse was originally from Newton, New Hampshire as well.
I have recently read that the Hearse Shed, now in the Village, was transformed into the Deluge Firehouse when Mr. Ford re-erected it inside the Village. This comes from numerous master presenters. More research will need to be done.

Using US sales terms in Europe
Nearly every US in-house counsel has faced the task of tackling an impending overseas deal when only US State law governed terms are at hand.
Often, there is an overwhelming desire to use what you have. You have invested time in these terms, you understand their structure and where you would concede on them. What's more, they are based on your home law. If you get embroiled in litigation, it is not far to travel to litigate in the Santa Clara County courts and you will be defending your position with California law and with terms you drafted.
However, if you use them abroad, are they enforceable?

California isn't just a place, it's a perspective. It's 75 and sunny, avocado on everything, and the Beach Boys playing with the windows rolled down on a drive up the PCH. But if there's one thing that hasn't quite gelled with this picture, it's California wine. Stodgy and expected, the steakhouse bottles of the '90s were a far cry from the state's signature free spirit; there is nothing "chill" about a trophy wine like Opus One. But a different style is finally taking hold, and it's redefining what California wine is all about. Forget buttery Chardonnays and ginormous Cabs. A new generation of progressive winemakers is breaking the rules of heavy oak and high alcohol to make wines that are lighter, brighter, and way more fun. This is wine the California way, and it's never tasted so good. Here are 5 West Coast winemakers you need to know about.
Want to know more about the California winemakers we love right now? Check out this week's podcast episode! Correction: In the BA Foodcast, Lou Wine Shop is located on Hillhurst and Franklin in Los Angeles, not Hillhurst and Fountain.
Michael Cruse, Cruse Wine Co.
Finding Champagne on the West Coast
The biochemist turned winemaker is the Tarantino of fizz: prolific and irreverent. He consults on sparkling-wine projects for fellow winemakers around the state, and his Champagne-style Ultramarine is, to wine nerds, a status symbol akin to Krug.
Try: Ultramarine is near unfindable, so look for his Sparkling Valdiguié, $30
Tracey & Jared Brandt, Donkey & Goat
Doing the whole urban winery thing
This couple quit their tech jobs to start a tiny operation in a graffitied warehouse (classic Berkeley, right?). They trained with a natural wine master in France, and apply those skills to wines that range from funky pet-nat to classic Rhône blends with grapes like Grenache and Syrah.
Try: Donkey & Goat Sluice Box, $28
Amy Atwood, Amy Atwood Selections
Repping a new wave
She not only makes her own easy-to-drink wines under the label Oeno. She distributes the wares of fellow makers, too—because great wine means nothing if no one can find it. Her portfolio reads like an MLB All-Star list of small-scale heavy hitters, and most locally focused wine lists in the state have her to thank.
Try: Oeno Russian River Rosé, $23
Steve Matthiasson, Matthiasson Wines
Keeping Napa cool
The classic rock of the movement, Matthiasson enacts change right in Napa, the epicenter of butter and oak. He consults for high-profile labels, and produces defiantly restrained and classy Cabs and Chards of his own. (This is the wine to impress your boss or parents.)
Try: Matthiasson Cab. Sauvignon, $60
Hank Beckmeyer & Caroline Hoel, La Clarine Farm
Putting the farm back in winemaking
Farmers as much as winemakers (they keep goats as well as vines), this couple makes unfiltered, unconventional "field blends" from a mix of whatever grapes happen to grow together (chemical-free) in their Sierra Foothills vineyards.
Try: La Clarine Farm, Jambalaia Rouge, $25

The Girlfriend Experience
Steven Soderbergh is an Academy Award winning director who often makes great films, but also finds the need to experiment and it is when he takes on these projects that he usually fails. The Girlfriend Experience is an example of one of these projects. It details the life of a high-priced call girl in NYC during the height of the 2008 presidential campaign as she meets with Wall Street clients involved in the bailouts. At home is her trainer boyfriend who seems satisfied with the life his whore girlfriend has chosen. The Girlfriend Experience is beyond and feels long even at its 78 minute length. The characters are uninteresting, the dialogue is uninspired and it seems like no effort was put into the filming.

Frequently Asked Questions
With what style you film weddings?
I have two styles of filming. One is Romantic and another is Documentary. My wedding films tells the story of your day, and as well as capturing the key moments. I also capture all the little details, the things that you've spent hours sourcing or creating!
How long will my finished wedding video be?
A standard full-day wedding will be edited down to a 90-minute film. Recently, brides have become enthusiastic about shorter wedding videos, films that are perhaps 30 to 45 minutes in length. The focus of these "short form" videos is the emotional content of the wedding day.
Can I have my choice of music on my wedding video?
The simple answer is almost certainly yes, depending on the type of music and how much recording is involved.
What areas do you cover?
Based in South London, my standard package covers travel in all London. But for little extra cost, I do travel all around England.
When should I expect my finished wedding video?
Editing (post-production) takes many more hours than the actual filming. As this tends to be spread out according to my workload, a wedding film typically takes around 2-8 weeks to complete, depending on the time of year and the package you choose.
How do I book your videography service?
I accept payments by cash or bank transfers. A non-refundable deposit of 30% is required when booking to secure the date of your wedding. The remaining balance should be paid one week before the day or on the day. I will also send you by email my booking form which you have to fill in and send it back to me by post or by email (scan).

Dear Colleagues and Students,
please mark your calendar for an upcoming GHSM lecture by Professor Harris Solomon, Cultural Anthropology and Global Health, Duke University, titled "On Life Support".
When: Friday, 2 June 2017, 4-6pm
please mark your calendar for an upcoming GHSM lecture by Professor Harris Solomon, Cultural Anthropology and Global Health, Duke University, titled "On Life Support".
When: Friday, 2 June 2017, 4-6pm
Where: Old Committee Room, King's College London, Strand Campus.
Organizers: Professor Megan Vaughan (UCL) and Dr Carlo Caduff (KCL)
This paper considers the phenomenon of breath to understand the edges of living and dying. It is based on ethnographic research in a trauma intensive care unit in one of Mumbai's busiest public hospitals. The paper examines how patients, their kin, and doctors navigate the thorny state of not being able to breathe on one's own. At this point, patients are put on a respirator ("venti" in Hindi and Marathi) for artificial ventilation. Being on a ventilator is always relational. The ward has very few ventilators and demand for them is high. The closer one patient comes to death, the closer another patient comes to an available ventilator and possibly life. I explain how people experience this bind, and detail how the ventilator breathes life not only into specific patients in Mumbai but also into survival economies of Indian medicine, law, and ethics.
About the speaker
Harris Solomon is an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Global Health at Duke University. He received his PhD in Anthropology from Brown University. His major research projects employ ethnographic methods to detail the dynamic relations between people, their lived environments, and chronic illness in contemporary urban India. His book, Metabolic Living: Food, Fat, and the Absorption of Illness in India (Duke University Press, May 2016) examines the relationships forged between food, fat, the body, and urban life in light of India's rising rates of obesity and diabetes. It focuses conceptually on the phenomenon of metabolism. In March 2015, Solomon received a NSF CAREER Award from the NSF Cultural Anthropology Program for his current research project. He is now studying how traffic on Mumbai's roads and railways works as the context, cause, and consequence of bodily injury and trauma.

And this is the family dog, Daisy. One of the sweetest, silliest Golden doodles you would ever want to meet. She looks lovely resting in front of the roses.
Like most of the country we're headed for a heat wave in the next few days. After all the rain the northeast has experienced a little sunshine is much appreciated. At this point it's looking like I may end up replanting my window boxes, as all the flowers appear to be in need of some critical care, in an area where they won't be visible to general public. And to think a little more than week ago they were so glorious.
I hope your week-end is a good one : )

Nice find!!!

Great find! Thanks for the info about these.
|nico @ 2016-12-06 18:32:37
|Underground Access
Great find!!! The Bing Image seems a little bit sharper, doesn't appear to be your typical Army base. The site is located in the region of the ICBM 816TH BDE/ 51st BASE, I would say it's probably some-kind of ICBM support site. There's quite a few ICBM sites to the north east of this site and HQ for the 816th is located near by.
|nico @ 2016-11-16 16:04:53
|Underground Access - Aircraft Hard Hangars
The airbase next to it has a line up of what looks like 26 entry level small trainers. Maybe the runways have been resurfaced recently?
|nico @ 2016-11-15 18:29:40
|Bombing Target
That's a really weird location for a bombing range, probably old site since there's so many civilian buildings nearby .
|nico @ 2016-01-10 14:59:18
|Iranian Drone Testing
Just a little to the east is a small launch pad that has been used to fire ASMs, could be that this is related and UAV is used for targeting.

Yeah, Iran got a couple of them from Ukraine and they have "successfully" reversed engineered them.

Doesn't look like all the Su24s have been completely replaced although by now with updated imagery, more Su34s probably have arrived.

|Possible NASR-9000 Fuel Air bombs/bomb casings
That's what I was wondering about, Egypt got any dense jungles near by? LOL!
Daisies are also good for opening up paths for MBTs and IFVs thru minefield's.

What would they drop it from? A C130? Great catch Alkavian!

In the latest imagery, you can now spot 5 drones and quite some different installations built.

Article in Jane's Defense Weekly 1 Jan 2014, shows that this airfield is in use for carrier training. There's 2 ski jumps for take off practice and 2 locations with arresting wires for carrier landings.

For moderator: sorry but I don't know how to get the URL from BING maps, that's where I got the image but the coordinates are from Google Earth.

|Alleged new Nuclear site
I meant Jane's WASN'T convinced that it was a new military site.
|nico @ 2013-10-20 14:59:14
|Alleged new Nuclear site
There is what looks like a cement plant and the image you posted looks like an aggregate field for the cement production. Jane's Weekly was convinced 100% either that is was a new missile site, it is interesting to see the next images. I have a couple of other locations that I have spotted that could be missile/nuclear/military related that are in building phase. It is really hard to tell, need more images.
|nico @ 2013-10-13 22:11:16
|Chinese sub
I think it is the pollution, also depending of the time of year, farmers burn all the fields, makes for lots of haze. Noticed that too, lots of China imagery looks "dirty".
|nico @ 2013-09-26 20:45:38
|Chabelley Airport/New US drone site
" Rattled by the rash of drone crashes, the Djiboutian government asked the Pentagon to move its unmanned aircraft away from the city to a rarely used airstrip in the desert, Chabelley Airfield, according to the unclassified documents, which were obtained by The Washington Post as part of a public records request.
In a letter to Congress in February, the Pentagon asked for urgent authorization of $13 million in funds and equipment to build "minimal facilities necessary to...

|Underground Access
Great find!
|nico @ 2013-09-21 20:27:36
|Rather odd array
Just checked out HAARP for the first time. Yeah, kind of similar but it is different. Need to go back and checked the size.
Hmm, the Chinese array measures a bit smaller than HAARP but still quite large. I didn't know that HAARP imagery was censored. Some of the array is visible but the norther part is censored.
Interesting, just measured Chinese array north of this one and it is bigger, probably same size as HAARP.
|nico @ 2013-09-21 20:18:08
|Rather odd array
It just seems a bit odd to me to put it so close to a bombing range. Also seems very similar to the one north of it at another bombing/testing range. Could it have something to do with the range? I was thinking more along the lines of EMP testing or anti GPS stuff....
|nico @ 2013-09-21 20:10:37
|Steel frames in the desert
I am guessing that was an older image when the hangar was being built. Also the cross looking runway was being laid down. Check out the stuff to the left of the steel frames. The blue and white "buildings", some kind of weird lay out and looks like a formation of 10 trucks? in the GE and even GM imagery, it seems like they have all been "taken" out. Pretty cool.
|nico @ 2013-09-21 18:20:31
|Target practice, unusual site
Yeah, I saw that one, it appears to have been built early 2010 and blown up later in the year, it is damaged in the 8/19/2010 image.Hasn't been repaired since. I was getting tired last night and didn't include it! I thought the odd steel frame structures next to it were more interesting. They haven't been bombed yet or maybe they are something else than target practice, I don't know.
|nico @ 2013-09-21 18:15:00
|Transport plane inside hangar?
Not only you can't see in in Google Maps but I noticed on Google Earth, it was displaying the 2011 imagery even thought there was more updated imagery, not sure why.

|Damaged Great Mosque of Aleppo
This is really pissing me off!!!! News outlets and especially those bastards at Google Earth have stopped putting out new satellite imagery of the planet for the last 2 months and pretty much more than 1 year for Syria so there is no way for people like us to spend time looking at battle damage and try to report to military/Intel sites where we could spread the word and images!!!!! I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

There appears to be another on undergoing some heavy maintenance, it looks like the rear has been removed to swap engines, I am assuming...Also, in the most recent GE pictures, there is now a line up of 5 AWACS.

|National Airlines Flight 102 crash site
From what as been said so far, it would appear that the cargo shifted in the bay and 747 entered a spin at such low speed/low altitude/ Cg gone to hell, no way the pilots could regain control...
|nico @ 2013-04-29 19:26:13
|Military airfield
Most probable. From what I know, AN-2 was considered to be the Soviet/Russian equivalent of the Cessna 170, so most likely it is a training center. Although, North Korea has over 100,000 special forces troops so it could have a secondary role as in incursion operations center, kind of far from DMZ but you never know.

This school year, the program is expanding to include 600 more students across the province.
Helping more students succeed is part of the government's economic plan for Ontario.

New 2019 Ram 2500 Release Date?
The newest 2019 Ram 2500 is a model which brings us all the advantages that we are used to having from it. In fact, it is set as a regular Ram 1500 but offers superior towing and hauling capabilities. It is a heavy duty truck for a reason and it delivers on that promise. Like the 1500, this one also comes in different sizes, configurations and powertrains, all with the aim of providing best performance rates and the necessary performance.
Now, the upcoming 2019 Ram 2500 will be released on the market pretty soon. The latest set of pictures saw the vehicle's unofficial announcement. But the car is coming, make no mistake about it. The updated vehicle is supposed to make up for all the previous mistakes and will genuinely update the model's interior and comfort. It will make the model a lot more useful and satisfying for the people. Expect to see it for sale by middle 2018 or somewhere towards the end of the year.
2019 Ram 2500 Price Changes
The price of the future 2019 Ram 2500 has not exactly been made yet. But due to the fact that they are planning to expand the technology inside the car and them adding new features, it will probably affect the price. The thing is that the vehicle is adding all the necessary parts to compete in the segment.
Of course, there are some priorities that need to be made and addressed first. But it does not mean that this vehicle will underperform. In fact, we expect it to gather the necessary following that it needs and a starting price of around 34,000 dollars is just enough and will be enough for the fans to appreciate. All in all, we did not expect it to go beyond the current price range and it delivered on the promise.
Newest 2019 Ram 2500 Rumors
The rumors about the 2019 Ram 2500 started spreading with the release of the spy photos. This was marked with the ultimate comeback of the vehicle which will shake up and take the industry by the storm. In fact, this model has gain a lot of attention for just a short period of time. The competition has a lot to be concerned about. First of all, the 2019 Ran 2500 has everything that the competition has and does not go so far beyond the machinations which the competition presents.
But the Ram 2500 has one thing that separates it from the flock, and that is the coil spring rear suspension. It helps with having a much more compliment ride compared to the competition. It does not matter whether you are driving a car with an empty bed or a fully loaded one, the effect is the same. The car will in each situation provide the best driving features that you would want to have. It is immensely powerful and comfortable to ride in.
What are the Exterior Changes for the 2019 Ram 2500?
The exterior of the 2019 Ram 2500 is not changing so much compared to the outgoing model. Their aim is not to configure the truck so much but to help it become a more modern vehicle. They are doing in on the outside more and have decided to sacrifice the exterior.
That is why the exterior of the vehicle does not go beyond what it already had. It is a familiar vehicle and there are only a few changes in elements that will make this model look different. The aesthetics is sometimes the least thing that the people worry about and they mainly think about the utility and the power output.
The model is going to come in the familiar assortment of trims and configurations. This is a utility vehicle so there is a whole lot to expect from it. As far as the cab styles go, there are three different ones to choose from. You also have the option of picking between two bed lengths and that is also made available throughout seven trims. The trim models that are brought back include Tradesman, SLT, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Laramie, Longhorn, Limited and Power Wagon.
What Colors are Available?
The same as with the aesthetics of the 2019 Ram 2500, the color is not a decisive factor for the truck. It is something that people whose aim is not the utility of the car but they want to have it as a model that they can drive around in. As for the changes made for the color of the car, the news is scarce. There is no doubt that they plan to introduce some new color options, but for the most part they will most likely stick to the basic and usual specter.
The debuting vehicle will most likely bring the same colors as the last time. However, the coming 2019 vehicle might introduce some novelties in terms of completely new color schemes. There are plenty of possibilities to think of. And we are very much hoping that they do decide to add some new color options in order to update the car even further.
2019 Ram 2500 Size and Dimensions
This part of the 2019 Ram 2500 is going to remain largely the same. According to an announcement, the vehicle is not going to change the size and will keep its appearance and dimensions. This keeps the car at the same position which it was and allows it to have the same characteristics which it used to.
This is mainly aimed at the utility and the towing ability which this model has. Thus the vehicle is still 237.4 inches long and the wheelbase of it is 149.5 inches. The width is 79.1 inches and the height is 77.7 inches. The interior passenger volume is at 125 cu ft which allows more than enough interior comfort. Also the curb weight is 7020 lb. this still means that the 2019 Ram 2500 is going to be a very imposing and massive car.
Interior Changes and Updates for the 2019 Ram 2500
The 2019 Ram 2500 is going to have something for the interior that not many cars have. The comfort in the cabin is unusually high for a vehicle like this. It owes to the immaculate driving quality which the vehicle possesses and the seat configuration which the model is adding. The cabin is quiet, roomy and supportive. It will help you snuggle the passengers and the driver equally well. Another thing is the advanced ergonomics which makes things a lot easier.
Technology is another part that they are updating. The new technological updates, including the touchscreen, radio control and the new Uconnect infotainment system are all of pretty high quality. The button configuration is working very fine and it simply helps you get used to everything here much quicker. The setup is easy to access and easy to use. And there is more of it this time so you are not going to be concerned about the usage of technology here.
Engine Offers for the 2019 Ram 2500
There are several engines to choose from for the 2019 Ram 2500. The base model which is available for most of the trims and offers is the 5.7-liter V8 gasoline engine which can develop up to 383 horsepower, 400 pound-feet of torque. This engine is also usually pared with a six-speed automatic transmission.
There are also two additional optional engines, the A 6.4-liter V8 which makes 410 hp, 429 lb-ft of torque and a turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel six-cylinder that can generate up to 350 hp and 660 lb-ft. The former one has a six-speed automatic transmission while the latter comes with a six-speed manual transmission. But if you add the reinforced six-speed automatic into the mix, the numbers will jump to 370 hp and 800 lb-ft of torque.
0-60 mph and Top Speed
The specs for the acceleration and top speed of the 2019 Ram 2500 are not going to change. With the similar sort of powertrains available the car will manage almost the same kind of a speed up. It will gain the 0-60 mph mark in around 7 seconds. It will also have a top speed of 104 mph as before. All in all, there are no needs for the changes here, as it is perfectly appropriate the way it is now.
Fuel Stats for the 2019 Ram 2500
Fuel stats for the 2019 Ram 2500 are officially not out yet. But we are probably going to have something that the previous car consumed. These numbers include an EPA rating of 12 mpg in the city and 14 mpg on the highway. But as said, all of this is still not official. We will have to wait and see just by how much the car will improve in the fuel usage department. We do not hope to see any significant improvements there, though.

There is an especially poignant message for us today as we honor Our Lord in the Feast of His glorious Ascension into Heaven.
"I go to prepare a place for you. And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to Myself, that where I am, you also may be." (John, 14, 2, 3)
Our reading for today, the Feast of the Ascension of Christ into Heaven is taken from Archbishop Fulton Sheen, in his "Life of Christ".
His sacrifice being completed, as He was about to ascend to His Heavenly throne, He raised His hands bearing the imprint of nails. That gesture would be one of the last recollections the Apostles would have, save one. The hands were raised first to heaven and then pulled downward to earth as if to draw down its blessings on men. Pierced hands best distribute benediction. In the Book of Leviticus, after the reading of the prophetical promise of the Messias, there came the high priestly benediction; so too, after showing that all prophecies were fulfilled in Him, He prepared to enter the heavenly sanctuary. Hands that held the sceptre of authority in heaven and on earth now gave the final blessing:
"And even as He blessed them He parted from them, and was carried up into heaven…" Luke 24:51 "And is seated now at the right Hand of God." Mark 16:19 "So they bowed down to worship Him, And went back full of joy to Jerusalem, Where they spent their time continually In the temple, praising and blessing God." Luke 24:52, 53
Had Christ remained on earth, sight would have taken the place of faith. In heaven, there will be no faith because His followers will see; there will be no hope, because they will possess; but there will be love for love endureth forever! His leave-taking of the earth combined the Cross and the Crown that governed the smallest detail of His life. The Ascension took place on Mount Olivet at the base of which is Bethany. He led His Apostles out through Bethany, which meant passing through Gethsemane and the very spot where He wept over Jerusalem.
Not as from a throne, but from a mountain elevated above the garden with the twisted olive trees crimsoned with His Blood, did He give the final manifestation of His Divine power! His heart was not embittered by His Cross, for the Ascension was the fruit of His Crucifixion. As He said, it was fitting that He suffer in order to enter into His glory. In the Ascension the Savior did not lay aside the garment of flesh with which He had been clothed; for His human nature would be the pattern of the future glory of other human natures, which would become incorporated to Him through a sharing of His life. Intrinsic and deep was the relation between His Incarnation and His Ascension. The Incarnation or the assuming of a human nature made it possible for Him to suffer and redeem. The Ascension exalted into glory that same human nature that was humbled to the death. A Coronation upon the earth, instead of an Ascension into heaven, would have confined men's thoughts of Him to the earth. But the Ascension would cause men's minds and hearts to ascend above the earth.
In relation to Himself, it was fitting that the human nature which He took as the instrument for teaching, and governing, and sanctifying, should partake of glory as it shared in shame. It was very hard to believe that He, Who was the Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief, was the beloved Son in Whom the Father was well pleased. It was difficult to believe that He, Who did not come down from a Cross, could ascend into heaven, or that the momentary glory that shone about Him on the Mount of the Transfiguration was a permanent possession. The Ascension put all such doubts away by introducing His human nature into intimate and eternal communion with God.
The human nature which He took was mocked as a Prophet when they blindfolded Him and asked Him to tell who struck Him; He was mocked as a King when they put upon Him a mock-robe of royalty and gave Him a reed of straw for a sceptre; finally He was mocked as a Priest when they challenged Him, Who was offering Himself as a Victim, to come down from the Cross. By the Ascension His triple office of Teacher, King, and Priest was vindicated. But the vindication would be complete when He would come in justice as the Judge of men in the human nature which He took from men. No one to be judged could complain that God knows not the trials to which humans are subject. His very appearance as the Son of Man would prove that He had fought the same battles as men and endured the same temptations as those standing at His bar of justice. His judgment would immediately find an echo in hearts.
Another reason for the Ascension was that He might plead in heaven to His Father with a human nature common to the rest of men. He could now, as it were, show the scars of His glory not only as trophies of victory but also as emblems of intercession. The night He went into the garden He prayed, as if He were already at the right hand of the Father in His heavenly abode; He uttered a prayer that was less that of a dying than that of an exalted Redeemer.
"…That the love wherewith Thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.." John 17:26
While in heaven, He would be not only an Advocate of men with the Father but He would also send the Holy Spirit as man's Advocate with Him. The Christ at the right hand of the Father would represent humanity before the Father's throne; the Holy Spirit abiding with the faithful would represent in them the Christ Who went to the Father. In the Ascension, Christ took our necessities to the Father; thanks to the Spirit, Christ the Redeemer would be brought into the hearts of all who would believe in Him. The Ascension would give Christ the right to intercede powerfully for mortals:
"We can claim a great High Priest, and One who has passed right up through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God. It was not as if our High Priest was incapable of feeling for us in our humiliations; He has been through every trial, Fashioned as we are, only sinless." Hebrews 4:14 .
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Life of Christ, Kindle Edition.
He has gone before us, to prepare a place for us!
"And I have made known Thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me, may be in them, and I in them." (Link)
May Our Lord Jesus Christ bless you, stregthen you and sustain you always, dear readers, and may Our Lady keep you close to her Immaculate Heart always and bring you safely to eternal joy when all our trials are over.

Tomorrow, our post will be our accustomed Novena to the Holy Ghost in preparation for Pentecost.
† Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of our hearts, Mother of the Church, do thou offer to the Eternal Father the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the conversion of poor sinners, especially our Pontiff.

Top 3 Reasons to Practice Yoga at Home
Aside from the fact that it's really, and I mean really, cold, snowy and slushy in New York right now, there are so many other reasons to stay in, clear a little space and start to develop your own personal yoga practice at home.
1. You get to come just as you are. There's no rummaging through your "fancy yoga pants" drawer required. It's a roll out of bed, throw on whatever you like (or leave on your PJs for that matter), brush your teeth, sip a half a cup of coffee or tea and get on the mat kind of thing. There's no dress code because nobody's watching! Ok, maybe your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/family/etc. but they've seen you in those ragged genie pants and your "vintage" 2008 NYC Marathon tank before so who really cares, right? The point is that maybe at home, without a studio wall-to-wall mirror and twenty other people, there's an opportunity to let the ego have a fit that you, perhaps (or maybe it's just me 😉 ) look a fiery hot mess and couldn't care less. You're practicing yoga. Om shanti.
2. You discover your own flow. "You gotta dance like there's nobody watching," right? With a home practice you get to choreograph your own dance and enjoy the party without letting the ego get you all revved up because you're not in that back bend with your leg up in the air thingy of a pose. "But what if I don't know what to do or how to start?", you say. I hear you! Try starting your practice standing or seated with eyes closed. Tune into your breath. Tune into your body and ask it what it needs. No, really I'm serious, ask! You might be surprised and get a response. Set an intention or dedication. Then, perhaps, kick things off with a few Sun Salutations. From there, it's all yours to play. If you need a few pointers or direction as you first begin, a private session with your yoga instructor might help. Click here to get info on private yoga bytracye. And you can also check out my quick Sun Salutation breakdown for Navafit.com here.
3. You get it in. With dedicated practice comes, you guessed it, a dedicated practice. As long as you have your body's length and width in floor space somewhere in your house or apartment you're good to go. A mat really is optional fanciness. Ideally, it would be great to have a separate, quiet, beautifully designed yoga space where no one in your family could interrupt by asking where they could find their other sock (Again, that might be my world.), but you don't need that. At home, and especially before work, school, and the rest, you get the chance to "get it in" and take a dose of all the good physical, mental, and spiritual vibes this practice brings to those who, you guessed it, practice!
Would love to hear how you work your home practice or questions about getting started in the comments below!

Lodz Walk-of-fame
Lodz is the second largest city of Poland.
Kieslowski's father sent him to a fireman's training college at around 16. He got fed up after 3 months and went back home. Many different schools later, he got into the College for Theatre Technicians in Warsaw through a distant uncle. There he "fell totally in love with the theatre" and decided to become a theatre director. He appplied for the Lodz Film School "to become a film director, as a way of becoming a theatre director".
He was rejected twice before being accepted on his third attempt, though by then he said he had stopped liking the theatre:
"I decided that I didn't want to be a theatre director at all any more, or any sort of director for that matter. Even less a film director. In the meantime, of course, I worked because I had to have something to live on."
Despite his claim, he graduated from that famed film school and went on to become a great film director.
