Our traditional breeds of cattle have lively support from passionate breeders who take enormous care to ensure they survive and thrive.
An ancient breed, the Gloucester was originally tri-purpose, being used as oxen as well as for dairy and beef. A striking-looking animal, it has a dark mahogany body and a black head and legs, a white stripe passing from the small of the back, over the tail and udder and covering its underline and midlength horns that are white and tipped with black, sweeping upwards. In 1972, just one herd remained, despite the fact that this had once been an incredibly popular breed. Today, single Gloucester cheese is protected, while Double Gloucester isn't – the former was the cheese usually consumed on the farm, while the latter was exported all over the world in the 18th century, including to the US.
Clifford Freeman, who farms in Gloucestershire, near Redmarley, says the breed is exceptionally quiet: "They are very docile and easy to deal with. The breed calves easily and has a very steady level of lactation, meaning they will have a long period of milking after calving. My father bought his first Gloucesters in 1971 and he had a cow that milked for two years despite not calving. The beef is fantastic – beautifully marbled and with a lot of flavour. Today they are more of a dual-purpose breed than a dairy one, as they haven't been improved by cross-breeding with Holsteins, unlike many others, so just don't produce the volume."
Clifford's cattle are grass fed, but he says, "They don't stay out all winter, more because they poach the ground than because they can't deal with the cold. Having said that, the breed was originally farmed on river meadows, so aren't hardy to tougher conditions."
A range of colours exist from red, white, red and white or roan, with small upswept horns. Cows usually weigh around 550kg, with bulls at around 750kg. Charles Castle, a vet in Northamptonshire, says that, while most are friendly, "You do get the occasional stroppy one. We handle ours in a race, we don't need to use a crush."
While the Northern Dairy Shorthorn is in the same group as the other shorthorn breeds, it is genetically distinct, having been isolated from other shorthorns in the 1700s. Charles explains: "The Northern Dairy Shorthorn was a cow of the Dales, bred for upland areas. They need very little in the way of concentrate and are perfect for pure grass production." Smaller, hairier and tougher, these cattle were effectively a closed herd until the early 1940s. Despite their name, they are effectively a dual-purpose breed, with a light bone structure and an ability to live purely on grass. "We usually slaughter at 30 months, and the meat is well marbled and has excellent flavour. The average milk production, which isn't very high, would be between 4,000 and 6,000 litres per lactation, but a good level of butterfat at 4%. A huge advantage of the breed is that they calve very easily – the calves tend to be small. That's why I chose the breed – as a vet I knew I would have to have cows that didn't need much help, as I'd be looking after other people's herds!" Of 110 calvings, Charles has only had to do anything in four. The cows are also long lived and fertile: "I had one cow who lived to 19, producing 14 calves in that time. The calves may be small when they are born but they grow quickly."
With their eponymous long horns, which can curve straight out from the head or turn towards the mouth, the Longhorn is instantly recognisable. The horns must contain no black, and the hooves should not be black either. The colour is normally a brindled red, with a white line down the centre of the back, while a white patch on each thigh is particularly desirable.
Pat and John Stanley, of Blackbrook Longhorns, based near Coalville in Leicestershire breed Longhorns primarily for pedigree, "Though we do butcher the 'failures', the ones that aren't good enough for breeding. They make unbelievably good eating. With young bulls, you can either feed them concentrate and eat them at 15 months, or, as grass-fed steers or heifers, they're ready between 22 and 30 months. It's very marbled meat, and cooks beautifully." The Blackbrook Longhorns won "Best Meat in Britain", a Country Life award, in 2012.
"They're very docile, very easy to deal with," John says, "And they calve easily. We keep many of the males as bulls." The Longhorn is now widely exported, and there are some 10,000 females. As to hardiness, John says the only reason to bring them in is to avoid poaching the fields, "They're more than happy outdoors all year round otherwise."
The Hereford has a dark red body with a white face, crest, dewlap and underline, though white markings can often be seen below the knees and hocks as well. Medium-length horns are always downward curving. The modern Hereford is one of the most widespread breeds in the world thanks to its adaptability and its ability to graze on poor soil, in any conditions, and yet still produce good beef. There are herds of Modern Herefords from the Russian Steppes to the American Prairies, but these are not to be confused with the Original Population Herefords which Helen Macleod breeds. These Original Population Herefords must have no imported blood and will be able to trace their descent entirely from the British Hereford Herd Book which was closed in 1886.
Helen has a small herd, near Malvern, which she grazes on wildflower meadows that have 20 species per square metre in parts:
"They were bred to be thrifty, stocky and sturdy and have a high output from a low input. I don't feed mine anything but grass and, in the winter, hay. The traditional Hereford is definitely tough enough to be outside all year, but we are on heavy clay and it would damage the meadows too much during winter so they are in and feeding on hay from November to early April, depending on the conditions."
Helen manages her herd entirely on her own, which is testimony to their good natures. "They are very quiet, very docile. They calve easily, and Hereford bulls were often put to dairy cows to ensure an easy calving and a good carcass on the calf."
The Original Population Herefords breed very true, according to Helen, "While those that have bloodlines that may have come from Herefords that were exported to North America, for example, many have been bred to prioritise height or frame size over easy fleshing, calving and ease of management.
"The worldwide breed has seen a huge rate of change, as they had to adapt to very different conditions from the Welsh Marches from where the breed originated, but the Traditionals offer the breeder genetics of guaranteed provenance."
Helen sells boxes of her beef, and says that the meat is well marbled and flavoursome: "We slaughter at between 24 and 30 months, and then hang the meat for between 21 and 28 days. They're a thrifty animal, producing well meated high value 300kg carcasses, which many butchers prefer to the bigger breeds as they are more manageable. They're long-lived, too. Bulls and cows will work to a great age and on reaching the end of their breeding lives will produce a good weight of carcass."


text: Ok! I've got my KEF eggs (at last!), my Marantz 4100 OSE sits waiting by my telly and my Denon 3802 will be arriving next week . . . (I can't wait!). Now . . . I've gotten a great offer from a HiFi dealer in Dublin regarding interconnects. Thing is, I need to order by the end of this week (19th) before the offer ends - and I need to know what interconnects I need to hook up up all the bits and pieces lying around my living room! So. What do I need to connect the Denon to my DVD, Video and Sky box? My TV is a 2yr old Sony with s-video and 2xScart (one presumably RGB) Video is a standard Mitsubishi vcr (scart + phono) Sky box is, well, a sky box! Also, what's the best way to set up the KEFs? Do I need a mono lead for the sub? Should I run all sats from the amp? What about running the 2 rears from the sub? I know it's a lot, but I'd really appreciate some quick advice. Thanks for helping out a newbie who's been saving for ages for this system! Cheers Finty

A Happy Mother's Day: An American Sonnet
Workshop for Writers: Persistent Editing Pays Off
As the last two lines of this poem state, I wrote the rough draft on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8, 2011. A partial version was one of the first items I published on HubPages shortly after joining in June 2011. I did not then identify it as a sonnet, American or otherwise, because it was, in point of fact, not one.
The HubPages presentation received not one single reader comment, and readership statistics show convincingly that it was not a big hit, and indeed, was barely noticed, one of the worst performing of all my contributions to HubPages. As I said in another poem last year ("When Fay and I Got Married"),
The truth is paradoxical, my friend, and truly daunting:
if you're too fragile for this world, it soon will break you.
They have another world all set for you if you can't take it!
But you can long delay when you must "meet your Maker"
if you consult Him (or Her!) daily as your Friend and Teacher.
Thus it makes me doubly happy (dare I say "proud"?) to report that I persisted in editing this poem written to my own mother and all other unforgotten mothers, and it did "made the cut" after all, because it was included in my new book, American Sonnets and Other Poems (April 2012). This 56-page privately printed, self-published book contains 25 new poems and 12 workshop essays written between April 2011 and April 2012. (The Academy of American Poets in 1996 designated April as National Poetry Month.)
Much of this book stems from writing I first-drafted during the year on HubPages, to which I gave ample credit in the Acknowledgments and elsewhere. Here I wish to repeat my gratitude to HubPages and to all the readers, there and elsewhere, who responded to my work in the past year and became my friends.
Here now, on the occasion of Mother's Day 2012, I present a fresh copy of the poem as it appears in my new book. I hope you like it.
A Happy Mother's Day
From "Maxie" Havlick (and I'm sure you'll find no other)
to Jean (Russell) Havlick, his one and only mother,
and also every other unforgotten mother:
I'm hungry for your melodrama, melodrama mama dear.
You know suspense, anticipation, curiosity, and fear
can either help or harm a youngster's growth when near is here.
To honor mother, children young or old enjoy her poorest stories told
to them, no matter whether she reads sad or glad, or weak or bold,
so long as it is mother's voice so clear, each year, still possible to hear.
This sentiment inspired in me by dearest friends of mine
(and friends, indeed, they are to everything benign)
who also bear the scars and honored title "mother."
On Mother's Day, on May the eighth, in year twenty-eleven;
at Villa Park, in Illinois, it might as well be heaven!
An American Sonnet
Sunday, May 8, 2011
Copyright © June 2012 by Max J. Havlick and Fay M. Havlick, 16 W. Vermont St., Villa Park, IL 60181-1938, all rights reserved. The book is Max J. Havlick, American Sonnets and Other Poems -- in a Workshop Setting for New Writers (Villa Park, Illinois: New World Community Enterprises, April 2012). While we look for a formal publisher, we have made copies available in a self-published, privately printed first edition with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" format and blue paper cover for $20 postpaid in the U.S.A.

– An American daredevil has performed a bizarre stunt at his father's beehives
– The young man stripped down and stand naked amongst a colony of bees for almost an hour
– The whole process was filmed on camera and later became viral
Charles Wieand is a comedian, daredevil, and YouTube personality, thw best known for his outdoor comedy, pranks, and absurd stunts.
However, this time he went too far — the man removed his clothes to shock bees at his dad's beehives in Homestead, Florida, USA.
READ ALSO: Man covered in 100kg of bees sets world record (photos)
The preformer was standing naked amongst a colony of buzzing honey bees for about 45 minutes without getting stung even once.
The video shows him proudly standing in the buff with only a bee-covered honeycomb in his hands to protect his modesty.
The baflled insectes are seen crawling all around his face, neck and down his back. Although Charles looks rather imperturbable, his panicked eyes are speaking for themselves.
Commenting on his stunt Charles said: "Once it was all over I was relieved, if not a little shocked. I genuinely thought I was going to get stung hundreds of times. A few flew and crawled up my inner thigh and I wasn't sure where they were going.
It's not exactly the ideal place when you're not wearing any clothes. Some landed on my eyelid and face, behind my ear, but the rest just harmlessly crawled all over me. I've been stung before so it wouldn't have been a massive deal, if I hadn't been naked.
But it was the sheer volume of insects that worried me. Before I opened the hive, I thought they'd come at me, but then I lifted the lid and saw them fly at me all at once. That made me really nervous at first but they were really relaxed and I figured why not just chill with these bees for a while.
I thought they were the coolest things in the world so started beekeeping. I even got my dad into beekeeping but he tried to discourage me from doing this stunt. He said I'd get stung all over the place but I just love to do crazy stuff so I did it anyway.
READ ALSO: See monster crocodile who sent the whole world into a frenzy (photos)
At the end I joked the bees didn't try anything as they knew I had already survived gators. They might not be as big an alligator but when you open the hive they all fly out at your naked face all at once. That was the only worrying moment."
Watch video:
In his previous stunt Mr Wieand was riding an inflatable toy crocodile to take a dip in an alligator infested pool. He has also handled cobras, rattlesnakes, swam with sharks, and jumped out of airplanes.

It's 4pm on a Friday afternoon. I sit alone at the dining room table. There's a cheap, half-finished bottle of Sauvignon Blanc standing incongruously to the right of my open laptop. I stare at the laptop willing words to appear on the stark white screen. In one hand I have a book, its pages covered in highlighting with notes in the margins, in the other, an almost empty glass of wine. My hope is that I will somehow bring order to the indiscernible mass of ideas swirling in my head. Or maybe that's just the alcohol. The names repeat endlessly – Esmeralda, Despina, Hypatia, Chloe, Clarice – 55 names, 55 places, or just one place?Read More
"You Will Not Fight Your Battles on My Body Anymore": Voicing and Identifying Sexual Violence in the Congo and Iraq through Theatre
Since the turn of the century, there has been a huge surge in plays about the Middle East and other conflict-ridden nations, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (Friedman 593). Through the medium of theatre, Western playwrights are finally giving 'voices' to the untold millions of victims subjected to sexual violence in war zones. Sharon Friedman explains that this is an attempt "to bring attention to sexual abuse, rape, survival sex, and psychological violence toward women in countries ravaged by conquest and conflict" (600). This essay investigates two plays which fit Friedman's description, Ruined by Lynn Nottage, and 9 Parts of Desire by Heather Raffo.Read More
The 'Art' of Change
The phrase 'poetry changes nothing' has its origins in a poetic eulogy attributed to W. H. Auden called 'In Memory of W. B. Yeats,' written just after the famous Irish poet's death in 1939. Such a sweeping generalisation begs for a response – can poetry, literature and theatre change anything? And if so, how and what can they change?Read More

Beyond the formal group portraits to show how pretty everyone looks, beyond the ubiquitous cake cutting and ring photographs, beyond the obvious, there are the small and hidden moments that the bride and groom may never witness.
I capture the events as they unfold, your college friends laughing with your grandparents, loved ones meeting again for the first time in years, the atmosphere, the celebration.
To capture the moment, I chronicle the day, I don't create it. I bring you memories you weren't even aware of.

Western Show Jackets
June 10th, 2010 7:40 PM | No Comments
By the time Susan made the decision to step away from her two decade old fashion design business in 2001, she had already been designing and making show jackets, for nearly 7 years. Several retailers had seen her beautifully tailored cocktail and evening suits, and asked if she could produce only the jackets for them to sell to their customers who showed horses. Thus, in 1993, her show clothing business was born.

Ok, we need not to waste a lot of time on this.
Noah Smith has written his worst post ever. By appealing to straw man arguments, he shows that he is unable to (or maybe he doesn't want to) make a basic distinction between stereotype "internet austrians" people and serious austrian economists.
You can see his "arguments" destroyed here, here, here, and here.
Is it possible that so basic straw man fallacies are coming from a PhD guy? Yes, it is possible.

Usually, in the shower, I get writing ideas. Today it clicked that in one week we transfer a LOT of money and sign the deeds of settlement on OUR HOUSE. It, huh, does not feel real. It has, ironically, a 'life for rent' sense, in that if someone told me tomorrow, "oh, there was a problem, you haven't actually bought a house," my first reaction would be closer to, "Oh, okay," than !!!!!??.
I want to send the vendors, a mother and daughter, a densely-written card. We haven't spoken to them; have only communicated very little through agents. I'm stuck on I hope you don't miss this place too much and We will love it so much, I love it already and I wish you well wherever you're going. All very... high level. Gushy. I want to find my way towards something specific enough to be believably personal.
Other things: Work is fine. One of the most knowledgeable members of my team is leaving, moving countries. I really like him and will miss him. As a consequence, my boss sent around the job ad she's about to put up. It was weird to see a very similar ad to the one I answered from the opposite side. Hard to put into words how much I'd had to guess at interpreting it then.
Yuletide is EVERYTHING ELSE. There's a pop-psych text/saying - I forget how it goes - about the large scheduled events in your life, like work hours or picking your kids up from school or doing this thing every week - being like large rocks you put in a jar, and it looks full but - then there's large gravel-ish bits of things that are more or less scheduled and more or less necessary, and you shake them in around the rocks - then there are smaller pebbly things you fit in around all these necessary things - and then you fill your life up with the tinier things, sand - and - you keep filling it up with smaller particles, even though on paper/in your head it's already full. Right now for me Yuletide is water. In and around everything thing else in my life, in and around every other thought.
I'm the kind of person who hits the snooze button a lot when their alarm goes off. When I go to sleep thinking about Yuletide, I don't wake up and hit the snooze button. I just roll over and catch up on my phone on Yuletide things.
Yuletide, water, is also like a strong current. I dip into it and I'm pulled far away from a conversation, to a different place in a day. I love it. I love being swept up in it.
After I post this, I'm going to
-wash some mushrooms and then braise them, as the first step in making marinated mushrooms, as a contribution to a lunch at a friend's home tomorrow
-work on a Yuletide task (making up fake other-fandom questions to send to someone whose author has a question that's specific to the fandom they matched on)
-try to re-book transferring our internet connection from the current house to the next

I hope you blog about this next life phase. Home ownership!!! I'm so happy that you're happy about this! It's such a huge thing...and ambivalent feelings don't bode well. I resonate with your desire to thank the previous owners...a kind of passing of the abode torch.
You sound great! Glad you've got that immersion feeling! It keeps everything exciting and fresh!
You sound great! Glad you've got that immersion feeling! It keeps everything exciting and fresh!
I'll try! I think it'll sort of come rushing up in the next few days. Hitting the ground.
I do feel inspired by your occasional comments on redecorating, redesigning, paring down. I like to think of a house as malleable. I hope to gain confidence in adding and making and repairing.
Sounds like there's a lot going on for you - I wish you luck with it all.

The first night in your own bed in your own house is a really good one. Hold on to that thought.
Thanks :)

Not unlike our prestigious real estate network, our brand's founder, the esteemed Sotheby's auction house, has recently had a considerable global impact.
On June 3, Sotheby's held an auction in New York on Egyptian, Classical and Western Asiatic Antiquities. Highlights of the auction included a Middle Kingdom anhydrite kohl vessel, a majestic Ptolemaic basalt falcon figure and a long-lost monumental Roman marble bust of Zeus. An exceptional sale total of $6.4 million nearly doubled the pre-sale high estimate. Click here to see the full results of the auction.
On June 4 in New York, Sotheby's hosted a sale of Master Paintings from Old Master Paintings Worldwide. Also on sale were paintings from the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College and the Art Gallery of Ontario. A sale total of approximately $4.4 million, buoyed by a $670,000 sale of Antonio Joli's Rome, rendered the auction a great success. Click here to see the results.
On June 11, Sotheby's held a trio of significant auctions. The first sale, the London Fine Jewels Auction, offered a wide variety of jewels from the 17th century to the present day. A 1930s bracelet attributed to Ernst Paltscho, a yellow diamond brooch and pair of earrings from Vacheron Constantin, and a natural pearl and diamond pendant from Boucheron complemented other jewelry flush with popular floral motifs. Hosted at the Sketch Café in London, the sale garnered a total of 4,868,938 GBP, or approximately $7.6 million.
That same day, Sotheby's hosted an auction in Hong Kong with items ranging from Eastern and Western contemporary works to iconic design furniture of the 20th century. The offerings of Boundless: Contemporary Art included works by Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Bernard Buffet and Zhan Wang. The sale yielded a notable total of 41,499,375 HKD, approximately $5.36 million. Keith Haring's Untitled was the top lot of the auction at 4.16 million HKD, fetching four times its pre-sale estimate.
Lastly, an auction with timepieces ranging from 1760 to 2015 brought Sotheby's its highest-ever total for a 'various-owner' sale of Important Watches in New York. With an impressive 88.8% of lots sold, the sale achieved an extraordinary total of $12.5 million. The highlight of the auction was a magnificent private collection of 22 Swiss enameled automata, called the Swiss Mechanical Marvels, which together brought $6.1 million. Click here to see the full results of the auction.
There are also several noteworthy upcoming Sotheby's auctions. On June 24, the brand will host an auction in Paris on "Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie," or African and Oceanic Art.

Review: Wytches #4
The latest issue of Scott Snyder and Jock's Wytches picks up the pace with multiple scenes that manage to deeply unsettle, and not just in a single way. There are the parts that are uncomfortable thanks to physical terrors in setting and character interaction, while other portions of the comic manage to be frightening because they peel away layers on main characters in a way that isn't very flattering. Wytches #4 is a shocking comic, but in the most subtle way possible. None of the reveals in this comic, besides the one on the last page (which fits, considering how the comics craft works), are out of left field, which is perhaps what is so impressive about their overall effectiveness. Wytches works, and it does so with surprises that aren't so unexpected as to be sensational; it doesn't need that.
Sailor, the teenaged, anxiety-raddled girl who's been victimized so much in this comic thus far, finds herself in quite the predicament this issue. The circumstance she finds herself in is visually terrifying, brought to the page in wonderfully creepy style thanks to Jock's art. There's just enough respective detail and obscurity in the drawings to simultaneously force readers to look at something shocking and imagine the rest. What's even more distressing are the mental gymnastics Sailor has to do to save herself, which recall an anecdote from her past in which she exerted herself to impress her father Charlie.
This anecdote makes her dad look awfully mean and gross, depending on a substance and only extending love to his daughter through the most boisterous, obnoxious, and demanding of ways; this is quite different from the man readers have become accustomed to. The simple fact that Sailor saves herself by recalling a mildly traumatic moment in her past, dealing with an unsavory version of her father, is incredibly cool whenever the contrast set up in this issue is considered. In the present, her father, who is shown here to be filled with guilt over how he used to treat her, is trying his best to save her but fears he'll fail her.
On his side of the fence, the environment is even harsher, making him deal with a stupendously screwy woman with constantly confusing motives. Jock visualizes his struggles in the same great way as he does Sailor's, with lots of spooky art. This issue may just be the most impressive yet in terms of art, with the splashes of paint toned down in favor of more interesting coloring techniques. Alcohol finds itself sprinkled on the pages instead of random rainbow-colored drops, and certain pages take on themes tailored to a certain color similar to a Francavilla or Deadly Class-style page. Anything that's difficult to make out is never frustratingly so; it's done for increased horror.
There's a specific panel in Wytches #4 that is especially awesome, further bolstering the point that this is the best issue since the debut. At one point, Charlie talks to his wife about a monster he believes he saw, and she tells him, "There's no such thing as monsters." This line is super-imposed over a flashback panel of that unsavory Charlie, which emphasizes what Snyder has been saying this series is all about from the start. He's not trying to startle us with inhuman monsters, but make us afraid of the monsters inside all of us; even in seemingly loving parents.

The 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC Lens for Nikon F Mount with AE Chip from Rokinon is a manual focus telephoto prime lens useful for portraiture and all medium telephoto applications. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is effective in low light and enables shallow depth of field control. With a rounded 9-blade diaphragm, shallow depth of field imaging will be rendered with pleasing out-of-focus highlights. Compatible with both FX and DX format DSLRs, it provides the 35mm focal length equivalence of 202.5mm when used on DX cameras. Its minimum focus distance is 2.6'.
The Nikon F-mount version of this lens features an AE chip that provides auto exposure metering in Auto, Program, Aperture-Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes as well as a focus confirmation in the camera's viewfinder when focus has been reached manually.
The optical design includes one extra-low dispersion lens element to control chromatic aberration, contributing to sharp, color-accurate imaging, and each of its lens elements features Ultra Multi-Coating to improve light transmission and reduce ghosting and flare. An internal focus system prevents the front end from rotating which allows more effective use of variable filters.
A durable metal barrel with a wide focus ring and manual aperture control ring offer tactile control over focus and exposure. An included, removable lens hood deters stray light from entering the lens, while protecting it from accidental impact and precipitation.

Were women in ancient India more feministic than present ?Most of us would think feminism as a modern concept. But our epics and ancient Indian literature have feminism in them. Almost most of the female Gods we worship now have their origin during ancient India. It was the time when Draupadi who accepted polyandry was glorified by Lord Krishna himself. Women had been rulers and they took active part in governance of the country. Sabhas (councils) like Vidatha were there which involved women who could question authority of the king and remove him if he doesn't seem ethical. Women sages have composed hymns Eg. Gayatri mandala in Rig Veda is attributed to female Goddess. Rivers were often named after them. Women have led armies as commanders and were glorified as killing Asuras.
All these concepts suggest that once Indian society had been far more advanced in women's rights than even present times. So what went wrong in between? What might be the factors that gradually brought in the changes? How do you view these changes and concepts in our society?

Then Friday I saw the mailman walking up to our door with a package. It was from my brother--a housewarming gift he had told me was on the way. I opened it up expecting a candle or gift certificate or something. But instead, there it was--my very own ipod Nano!
It was such a nice and completely unexpected surprise. There are too few of those in life I find, and I absolutely love them--both creating them for others and receiving them. He said he just thought I needed one.
So now I too will sport the white ear buds, and I'm so excited to go out and run with it. Except that in the move, our computer (desktop) is now not working. (Small vent--my husband spent a small fortune "building" a computer so it would have these special graphics features, etc., etc. He ordered all the parts separately, then had some super tech guy help him "build it." This was about six months ago, and since it's all special, it's not like it's under warranty and we can just send it back. So now, the super tech guy is back in Washington and my husband has no idea how to fix it--can you sense my irritation??? I knew it was a bad idea when he set off to do it in the first place. We should have just got a freakin' Dell or something. But I digress).
So I can't wait to start downloading some music and getting my running list down. I need input on good songs you love to run to (or think you would like to run to if you did indeed run)??? For whatever reason, the first song I want to download is "I would walk 10,000 miles". No idea why that's my first choice. It's not my favorite song or anything, it just pops into my head sometimes when I'm running. Let me hear yours.
P.S. Of course the whole experience also left me a little depressed as I think about my wonderful brother and other siblings, and how PB (probably) won't have any. Who will buy him an ipod someday? Who will he get to surprise like that?

Can I ask why he won't have siblings? It may be touchy, so ignore me if so.
But what a beautiful gesture. I loved this post.

Your brother rocks :-) Congrats on the new ipod. I opted for an MP3 player with a radio, as I don't buy much music...
Why, Mom will always be there to surprise and do special things for PB, and then, that job will be taken over by his significant other. We won't lament our lot in life, but work hard to make the most of it :-)

Just found you on blogger, and have only read this particular post. I have no iPod either; I have a new truck with a sixdisc cd changer, but I listen to the radio. When I jog I listen to a little pocket am/fm radio my daughter bought for me for fathers day about 15 years ago. I didn't realize til now how "out of cool" I must be because the wires are black. Can you buy white earphone wires without buying a iPod? btw: I used to live in Sequim and I bet you know where it is.

SLP--I wrote about the only child thing here http://closetmom.blogspot.com/2007/08/brother-where-art-thou.html
It's probably the best description. It used to be a touchy subject, but I've mostly grown numb to it over the years and actually feel it's helpful to talk about.
Wes--good wisdom as always :)
Jim--thanks for stopping by! and yes, I do know where Sequim is, but I never actually made it there. I've heard good things though!

Sequim = lavender.
I have to admit that I pinged Cheletales and asked what was going on re: single child, so I'm up on that story. I wanted to say that I've been thinking about you, and that if PB grows up without a sibling, he won't know any different, and he'll have good friends & as wes said, an SO, and cousins and relatives. It's like when I grieve for Maya (and I know she'll do this too) for not having a "normal" brother...Noah would never, as an adult, go online and purchase his sister an ipod, probably because he couldn't. But that will be her life, and she will have friends and guy friends who she will call "brothers", just as I did. They will be more resilient than we think - we're just worriers, and we worry about our babies. I SO get that.

The city of Apalachicola and all its beauty is featured in my book Southern Fried & Sanctified. Postage-free, signed copies available via the author website, click on title of the book to order and view the book's photo gallery. All text and photographs copyrighted.
According to the Apalachicola Historical Society website…
The Chestnut Street Cemetery is the oldest burying ground in Apalachicola and is the burial site of many individuals connected with the history and development of the town and area. Approximately 540 marked graves are located in the cemetery, but there are many more grave sites that are unmarked. A variety of tombstones decorate the cemetery, from simple vertical slabs from the 1830s to elaborate marble monuments. A few graves are marked with simple wooden crosses or a blanket of shells with no names. Beginning in 1912, the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) marked the graves of all the Civil War veterans in the cemetery. There are at least 79 Confederate veterans and 7 Union veterans buried in the cemetery.
Each Spring and Fall, the Apalachicola Historical Society Hosts a Ghost Tour in which local history enthusiasts take on the personna of the cemetery's more notable inhabitants to tell of life in Apalachicola more than 100 years ago.
The Chestnut Street Cemetery Walking Tour will take you about 30 minutes in which time you will discover the rich history, lore and heritage of Apalachicola from more than 100 years ago.

Spots (ticking)
not piebald (white coat coverage)
I don't think the inheritance is as simple as once thought.
Ticking is believed to be a simple autosomal dominant
Ticking is considered to be the same gene whether plating, dalmatian,
ticking or flecking.
While all of these ticking genes do appear to be simple dominants,
the plating is present at birth.
All of the others fade in from birth(similar to roaning).
If they were the same gene with modifiers dictating the size,
it shouldn't be possible to have more than one size spots(ticks) on
an individual dog.
Unless they would be location specific which doesn't seem to be the

I'm currently evaluating VueMinder Pro as a potential personal calendaring solution, and I like the rich feature set so far.
For dynamic events where documents are received or created over time, I place the files in a folder/directory as they arrive. I would like to link the Folder in the Files Tab for the Event/Task however it is not allowed. I can however create a shortcut to my folder, and then add that to the Files Tab. This is a lot of extra clicking just to add a shortcut to a Folder for an Item, and is one of the gripes I have with Outlook as well.
I suggest allowing a Folder to be dragged and dropped on the Files Tab, have VueMinder automatically create a shortcut to the Folder, then add that to the Files Tab. When preparing for the Event, a simple click opens the Folder and everything needed is at hand.

My friend Katie sent these awesome coloring book hacks yesterday! Totally love the Spinosaurus (I'm also totally guessing) holding the PBR, I think I saw him hanging around off the Lorimer stop the other day!

Phew! After a week of a few odd scheduling issues (and one instance of beer winning the battle over printing!) I've finally finished up the first round of color.
Next up… I got the blue blue blues!
As always, Pre-orders are available through Supermarket.
Swedish artist Thomas Broome created these great typographic illustrations. If Neo was a type designer… well, you know. Seriously though, great artist great work.
Great prints from the guys over at Nashville-based Family Tree. While I think they are all great, I particularly love The Kraken print! Sailors would be sure to tremble in there boots at the mere thought of this terrific beast of the sea!
{via NotCot}
You can look at a screen all you want but, honestly, the best way to tell if a screen is exposed well is to use the thing, so I pulled some test prints earlier… looking good.
If you're wondering, I used black because the red recipe that I whip up is a bit on the expensive side and given the heavy ink coverage for these guys, I'll need every squeegee pull I can get.
Speaking of inks, we're are all mixed and prepped, so glad I wrote down the recipes to these colors, it made life so much easier.
Next up… not much left to do but to lay down some color!
Pre-orders are available through Supermarket.
Spent some time this afternoon over the lightbox to touch up these screens. All-in-all things weren't too bad… The "You" screen had some pinhole issues, but that's nothing a little emulsion can't fix. Looks like the guy has serious case of chicken pox though!
The "Me" screen only had a few pinholes to deal with but, unfortunately, on closer inspection, my third color artwork looked horrible so I had to fill it up and will have to get that redone later this week or next.
Next up… Test prints!
Phew! The second screen turned out ok this time around. Next step… Touching up the screens and then it will be almost time for +P! Stay tuned.
So yesterday I mentioned how the awesome folks at French Paper are, in deed, awesome. Well they are quickly reaching epic status now, as they have overnighted my replacement paper on their dime and on top of that they packed it extra nice. A perfect stack of paper from my favorite paper source! I think it's gonna be good day.
In addition to the paper, I also got new fresh new screens made today! Unfortunately only one of the two screens made the cut, the other one (the one that will be the first color pass) wasn't done very well and had to be re-redone… hopefully tomorrow.
So I received my paper shipment today, from the fine folks over at French Paper Company of course, and alas… damaged. Blech! Be forewarned when mail ordering paper in large sizes, there is a good chance that UPS will damage it. One good drop on the corner and BAM! Ruined (at least for this project). Fortunately, Mr. French is totally awesome about it when you call them, they send you a new package immediately to replace the damaged stock and if your really nice to them, they will send it quite quickly. Thanks Mr. French!

homily preached at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Bellingham, WA
by the Rev. Josh Hosler
The Feast of Edmund, King of East Anglia, November 20, 2014
In the late ninth century, the four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were invaded by the Great Heathen Army of Denmark—well, at least, their enemies called them that. They called themselves the Great Viking Army. Either way, this "great army" swept into Britain under the leadership of Halfdan Ragnarsson and Ivar the Boneless. (Did you know that? I didn't.) They took over a giant swath of the island, including the little country of East Anglia, where Edmund was king.
Edmund of Anglia was probably a real king, and he was probably martyred in this invasion. Other than that, most of the information we have about Edmund is hearsay from an Archbishop of Canterbury 90 years later, who heard it from someone who claimed to be Edmund's armor bearer, so … you know. Grain of salt. But Edmund became universally loved in that part of the country, his fame peaking about forty to fifty years after his death, when coins honoring him became very popular.
The story goes that Edmund came to the throne at the age of 15, but the invasion didn't take place until he was 29. Two Danish Vikings named Hinguar and Hubba, whose force of men had been burning, looting and plundering the countryside, offered to share the loot with Edmund if he would renounce his faith, ban Christianity, and act as their puppet king. Edmund refused, choosing to fight the invading force instead. Though he fought valiantly, he was captured, tortured, beaten, shot through with arrows, and beheaded. Edmund's traditional site of burial is a place now called Bury St. Edmunds.
You know, every November, as our weekly Bible readings turn gloomy and dark, I wind up preaching a lot about death and what it might mean to prepare for it. The feasts of martyrs inevitably turn our thoughts in this direction as well. I wonder what Edmund did throughout his life to prepare for the moment of his death. I wonder what I am doing, and what you are doing.
Do you ever wonder how you would react if your life were threatened on account of your Christian faith? I sure have. But we don't even need to get that extreme. When faced with a crisis, whether life-threatening or not, what is the source of the strength you need to overcome it?
The first letter of Peter instructs us to be ready at all times to give an accounting for the hope that is in us—that is, a defense of our faith—maybe the "elevator speech" I mentioned last week. Yet Jesus' promise in Matthew's gospel says something rather like the opposite. Jesus counsels us not to worry too much in advance about a situation like this. Rather, we are to live our lives knowing that we are in the presence of God, and this is what will prepare us in ways that we can't begin to understand now. In the same way, it is not running a marathon that enables us to run marathons—it is the exercise we do in the weeks, months, and years leading up to it. Moments of crisis—including martyrdom—work the same way.
Jesus counsels his disciples to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves." It seems that most people prefer to be one or the other—shrewd, or sheltered. I don't know how shrewd Edmund was. It sounds like the Great Heathen Army was not something that could be avoided, and as Edmund learned, it could not be appeased except through moral concessions that the king was not willing to make. So whether wise or innocent or both, Edmund came to a moment of decision, and he chose to stick to his principles. He decided that it was not acceptable for him to fold under pressure.
I have a friend who came to her bus stop one day and saw a man and a woman there. The man was aggravated about something. He took the woman's scarf off her neck and started beating her across the face with it. My friend acknowledged that she was afraid, but she knew something had to be done. She stepped up to the man and said, "Hey, are we going to have a problem here?" Immediately the man shrank back and began to make excuses: "I've had a very bad day." The woman said nothing, but she was visibly upset and crying. A large, burly man stepped up behind my friend to support her, and that helped her feel bolder.
Eventually the bus came, and everybody got on board. The man and the woman didn't look at each other at all; the woman sat on the edge of her seat as if she wished she could be anywhere else. My friend was the first to get off the bus.
As she told me the story, and she wondered: "Did I do the right thing?" It bugged her for days: "What should I have done differently? I didn't know what to say, so I just said things. I wasn't prepared for anything like that."
I replied, "But you were prepared, and you know that because you acted. Something prepared you. The sum total of your life experiences prepared you in some way to choose to do the courageous thing instead of the easy thing." My interpretation is that the Holy Spirit gave her exactly the words that were needed.
My friend went on: "I just hope I didn't make things worse for the woman later on, when the two of them are alone." I commended my friend's bravery and sensitivity, and I acknowledged that she was right: we don't know. But we can never know all the consequences of our actions. We can only do what we believe to be right, and often that's the courageous thing instead of the easy thing. And when it comes to those we're not likely to cross paths with ever again on this side of the grave, well … we can pray for them as often as we like.
It's a small example. It's not martyrdom. But I'm glad my friend stood up to the man, sending him a clear message. She gave an accounting of the hope that is in her: that the world should be different than it is. Nobody should never have to cower in fear. Such a world is not OK and must not be allowed to go unchallenged. There was no excuse for this man's violent behavior.
I remember times in my own life when I have succeeded or failed at doing the courageous thing. I remember failing completely to call out words of blatant racism. On another occasion, I remember hearing misogynistic language and not letting it go, but giving my account in no uncertain terms. So today I want to commend to all of us the courage of King Edmund of East Anglia, and also of my friend at the bus stop. Amen.

It's Monday and I have...nothing to significant to report.
I have been out of town, my friends, working on my other career which is writing. There was no Friday Fiber update, nor was there a podcast on Sunday. I simply ran out of time to get everything done and set up in advance.
So! I will be playing catch up this week and getting things back on schedule again. Fair warning, there will possibly be another interruption like this at the end of June when I'm off for writing things again. Until then, however, I promise to be present and at least moderately productive.
Apologies for any disappointment and please come back to keep me to my word. :)

It's May — you know what that means. It's getting warm, the flowers are blooming and the time-honored tradition of prom is back again. So get your corsages, turn up the cheesy music and fuel the limos, because this week we're catching up with your favorite stars and helping them relive their prom memories.
Many people capture their prom in photos that they later share with their friends and family on Facebook, but some people had a whole crew documenting every second of the dance — like Kristin Cavallari did when she was on "Laguna Beach."
But the soon-to-be "Hills" star went to more proms than just the one we all saw on MTV. "I actually went to five proms, which was a lot," she told MTV News. "My favorite was senior prom, and I wore a dress similar to the color of my shirt, like a peach dress."
She also talked about her date for the night — who most fans of the show will remember. "I went with Talan, who was on 'Laguna Beach,' and I think most of my prom was on an episode of [the show]."
Despite having cameras in her face all night, Cavallari said she had a blast. "Senior prom was just a lot of fun," she said. "It was just all your friends right before you graduate ... and it's, like, the last thing."
We'll have lots more celebrity prom stories rolling out throughout the week (and check out even more celebrity prom coverage on the MTV Buzzworthy blog)!

|Level Information
|Ggb0y (Update verified by Riot)
|Extreme Demon
|Level ID
|At the Speed of Light
Cataclysm is a 1.9/2.0 Extreme Demon, originally created and uploaded with a hacked verification by Ggb0y. The level was later updated and verified legitimately by Riot. Upon its release, it was featured and became one of the hardest levels in Geometry Dash, but is now considerably easier than The Hell Factory and A Bizarre Phantasm. It is currently #90 on the Official Geometry Dash Demon List, above Violently X (#91) and below Excessive Compliment (#89).
Cataclysm possesses a very interesting story within the Geometry Dash community.
A popular creator, known as Ggb0y, uploaded a video on December 30, 2014, showing him playing some parts from an upcoming extreme demon named Cataclysm, set to be the hardest level in the game up until that point.
Fast forward, and Ggb0y had over 80,000 attempts to try and verify the level, but still couldn't beat it. So, he used hacks to verify Cataclysm. Some time after, players like ZorroZ Zet and Lyra Bandicoot said that they beat it legitimately, but later confessed to hacking the level (clearly seen because of the facts that their waves, trail and jump rings were not pulsing in places they should have been).
After all this, everyone thought it was impossible to complete Cataclysm without any hacks. But eventually, an extremely skilled Korean player named Cyclic was thought to have completed it without any hacks on Stream, and he was considered to be "the first survivor" of the Cataclysm (which subsequently blew up Cyclic's channel and his popularity), though later admitting he hacked the level (and later, confessed to hacking every major demon he ever beat).
After Cyclic, a highly skilled player called Giron David was the first to legitimately beat it, who still calls it his "best work" as of today. Soon after, a very skilled player called Sandstorm and an extremely skilled player called Riot did it at the same day. That made them the second and third players respectively to complete it (Riot's popularity also blew up after this). Then Powerbomb was the fourth, and Creepy Dash became the fifth. Soon, more and more people started to beat Cataclysm, and with the release of Bloodbath, Cataclysm was knocked down the list and was no longer the legendary hardest demon it was once considered.
However a year later, Riot let Ggb0y update Cataclysm by buffing the ship sequences, adding an "extra death", as well as user coins in the level. Riot verified the newly buffed update of Cataclysm legitimately on stream. This version is now known as "New Cataclysm" and is considerably harder than "Old" Cataclysm.
- 0-6%: The level starts off with a fairly easy half speed cube section, with a few fake jump orbs.
- 6-20%: Next, the player enters a very hard double speed wave segment that contains tight spaces, many size change portals, and inconsistent and awkward timing. It then turns into an auto segment, briefly into a cube, where "CATACLYSM/GGBOY" appear briefly on screen.
- 20-26%: After that is a hard triple speed ship sequence with gravity portals and many invisible size portals that require very light tapping and good transition controlling to avoid death. The ship was one of the few parts completely overhauled after the 2.0 update.
- 26-30%: It changes back into a mini wave at half speed, but is easier than the first wave as it is not double speed.
- 30-38: The player then changes into a double speed ball that requires very good timing and hitter clicks, then goes half speed and goes through very tight spaces, with a few speed changes to try and throw the player off.
- 38-43%: The player then enters a double speed UFO segment with many jump rings, gravity portals and tight spaces with fairly awkward timing.
- 43-47%: This UFO then transitions to a half speed ship sequence that requires insanely straight flying, and also has jump rings and gravity portals; missing one jump ring results in a crash.
- 47-56%: The ship then transitions into a double speed cube that needs good timing, then turns into a half speed mini cube that mostly requires a little bit of mashing.
- 56-68%: Afterwards, the player heads into the halfway section of Cataclysm, where the player becomes a ball that needs a little bit of hitter clicking and good timing. Gameplay-wise this is the easiest part of Cataclysm, however, the level becomes dark with the obstacles flashing intermittently and it becomes hard to see where the player is going, and switches to the cube and ship a few times before going back to a ball, which can throw off players not used to the section.
- 68-81%: The level then goes into Cataclysm's last two hard sections, which are a very difficult ship and a tight half speed wave. The half speed ship is very difficult, having extremely tight spaces, size changes. and a short dual section halfway through the ship. The second user coin is hidden here.
- 81-91%: Afterwards, the player goes into the last part of the level, which is a tight spaced half speed wave segment. Multiple players are known for crashing here, either out of nervousness and anxiety, or just screwing it up.
- 91-94%: After this moderately difficult wave segment, the player enters a short robot section containing the third and final user coin.
- 94-100%: Then, the level ends with one final ship sequence, with the well known area that says "GBOY", the creator's name, and "U NEED TO REST", finishing with "GG" and a two block space to fly through but requires to keep straight from flying as if there were spikes before ending. After that, a hall of fame of those who have finished the level legitimately can be seen and a message from Ggb0y admitting to hacking it and an apology, and lastly thanking Riot for verifying the level and adding coins, from which the level ends.
User Coins
This level has 3 user coins. The first and last ones require some timing to obtain, but the second one is fairly easy to get with good memory and straight fly.
- The first coin is fairly easy to get with relatively simple timing. You must hit a blue orb, and you will get a coin. A teleportation portal will send you back on course.
- The second coin is the easiest of the coins. At the first segment in the dual ship, fly in between the spiked area to get the coin. You will exit the little space and continue the level. This route is agreed to be easier than the route that prevents the coin collection.
- The third coin towards the ending. You must hit the last blue jump and you go through the gravity portal. While in it, tap because there is an invisible orb that will take you up to the last coin.
- Ggb0y had to hack to verify this map. However, since the harder update of Cataclysm, Riot has legitimately verified the level.
- It took Ggb0y 80088 attempts to verify the level, even when he used hacks. These attempts were likely faked.
- Other players like Lyra Bandicoot also had to hack to complete the map. This sparked a lot of debate which resulted in many users uploading videos on how to spot hackers of the game.
- Cataclysm was the hardest map ever created but, after creation of Bloodbath and Sonic Wave, those both became the hardest.
- The level is part of an official trilogy, consisting of (in order): Cataclysm, Bloodbath, and Aftermath.
- Riot is the first player confirmed to have beaten Cataclysm more than once, completing all three runs in livestreams, and the last one being a reverification of Cataclysm for Ggb0y to update coins into the level.
- Cyclic had admitted to hacking this level, so GironDavid was the first. Sandstorm & Riot both completed the level a week after GironDavid, making Sandstorm and Riot the second and third players respectively to beat Cataclysm. Powerbomb soon followed as the fourth, and Creepy Dash as the fifth.
- Players, who beat the level before it got updated have now been added to the "hall of fame" at the end of the level. This list comprises the following players: Cyclic, GironDavid, Sandstorm, Riot, Powerbomb, Creepy Dash, MaxiS9, MrKebab, Smokes, SoulsTRK, Danilkaz, Elite, R3YGA, and Mabby01.
- Sandstorm is the second player to beat the updated version of Cataclysm, getting all three coins in the process. Not too long after, Kins0 and Quasar followed Sandstorm and became the respective third and fourth players to beat the new version of Cataclysm. Then, Brandon Larkin beat the updated version with 2 coins, making him the fifth person to beat the updated Cataclysm. Finally, as of April 21, 2016, hotball1 completed the level on stream, making him the 6th, most recent and youngest player (11 years old) to complete the updated level.
- Ggb0y claims he made this level to replace Ice Carbon Diablo X. The level did end up becoming harder than it, but was eventually dethroned upon the publishing and rating of Bloodbath.
- The "GG" obstacle that appears at the ending has been imitated in many other difficult demon levels, and sometimes in impossible levels.
- Despite the fact that a player, Garomo, has appeared to have legitimately beaten Cataclysm before Mabby01, his legitimacy was not known before the Cataclysm coin update. Therefore, he is currently not on the "Hall of Fame" in the level.
- Renato 16 is the only person to have beaten Cataclysm on phone with a YouTube video. He beat the old version before the update as it appears to be the old version and gives stars, but it is unknown on which date he beat it because he uploaded the video after the update came out.
- It is possible he had the old version stored on his phone when he beat it.
- TrusTa has created a level which the player have to beat the old version of Cataclysm two times which is called "Multi Clysm". TrusTa has also beaten this level almost 30 times. He says that he is attempting to beat the level 100 times.
- The record for the lowest number of attempts to beat Cataclysm is 546, by Temporum.
- Unfortunately, the video that served as a proof cannot be watched anymore, as he put the video to private.
- There is a redecorated and redone version of Cataclysm made by LazerBlitz called Quest for Perfection. It uses a blue and black color scheme, and replaces the last wave of Cataclysm with a difficult mixed dual. Most other sections of the level are merged, however.
- Cataclysm is currently the most defeated demon on the Demon List, with more than 200 victors.
- Bloodbath and Aftermath are directly inspired by this level, being direct extensions of the original level. Hundreds of other levels are thought to be inspired by this demon as well.
- Ggb0y's level Infernal Abyss was supposedly an intended sequel to Cataclysm, however that idea was dropped once Bloodbath was released, being the official sequel to Cataclysm, and when Manix648 and Bianox took over designing it.
- Sunix himself stated that he believes Cataclysm is more like Hard Demon difficulty to him.
New version
- themaster402, Hotball1, SrMusca and Slypp all crashed at 90%.
- MaxiS9 and Cerni crashed at 89%.
- Theo crashed at 82%.
- Ninetales crashed at 81%.
- Jamby crashed at 74% 3 times.
- ChrisCredible crashed at 77%
Old version
- SrGuillester crashed at 93%.
- R3YGA and YGYoshi crashed at the 91% bug.
- Riot crashed accidentally after the last wave segment.
- Elite crashed at 89%.
- MaxiS9 crashed at 88%.
- SoulsTRK crashed at 74% twice.
- Cyclic crashed at 86%(although this may be hacked)

Two of the passengers were pronounced dead at the scene, while the other three were taken to hospital in critical condition. They were pronounced dead in the early hours of Monday.
Police said a sixth person, the pilot, managed to free himself from the helicopter after it hit the water. He was rescued and taken to a hospital, before being released in good condition.
Federal investigators have been dispatched to New York to determine what caused the crash. Fourteen officials from the National Transportation Safety Board are expected to arrive on Monday.

Video footage of the crash showed the red helicopter slamming into the water near Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood before turning on its side with the rotor blades still turning.
According to the New York Daily News, the pilot sent out a distress call, saying the engine had failed. Authorities said the aircraft went down just after 7 p.m. local time (2300 UTC).
Victims submerged 15 meters into East RiverNew York Fire Department Chief Daniel Nigro told reporters that rescue divers had to dive 15 meters down into the East River to rescue the passengers, who were stuck in the aircraft at temperatures near freezing.
"We are told the five people were all tied tightly in harnesses that had to be cut and removed," Nigro said. "It took a while for the divers to get these people out. They worked very quickly as fast as they could. It was a great tragedy that we had here."
Authorities said the helicopter was a private charter taking photos of New York City. The sightseeing service that owned the helicopter, Liberty, organizes aerial tours of the city.
There was no indication of what could have caused the crash. The weather in New York City was calm with clear skies at the time of the accident. The US Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating the accident.
Crashes in New YorkWith the skies over Manhattan constantly abuzz with tourist helicopters, private aircrafts and traffic reporters, crashes in the area are not unheard of.
In 2009, a sightseeing helicopter operated by the same company collided with a private plane and crashed into New York's Hudson River. Nine people died in the accident, including a group of Italian tourists.
In October 2011, a helicopter crash in the East River killed a British woman who was visiting New York City for her 40th birthday.
In July 2005, two choppers crashed into the East River in the same week, although there were no casualties in either incident.

Authorities have discovered a mass grave in southern Vietnam believed to contain remains of communist fighters killed by French colonial occupiers during a failed prison escape, an official said Monday.
A woman uncovered 17 sets of remains last Tuesday as she dug a foundation for her house on the former site of a French prison in Luong Hoa Lac village, Tien Giang province, said Vo Van Hung, the village chief.
The remains were likely those of communist fighters killed by the French during a failed escape from the prison in early 1949, Hung said. The site of the grave and the number of remains both match the well-known story of the escape attempt.
Three communist fighters managed to escape, but 17 more were killed and buried in a mass grave, Hung said. The bodies of two others were thrown into a river.
It took authorities three days to recover the remains, he said. The recovered remains will be buried on Wednesday, but it was not yet clear if the remains would be reburied at the site or at a cemetery.

Christmas Shopping...
Years ago with the birth of A I learned that although shopping for kids is one of the most fun activities a parent can have whilst carrying around grumpy kids, it is also a nightmare during the festive season. I know a few of the readers here are native Edinbuggers but just to illuminate what Edinburgh's Princes Street is like from the months of November to January:
Alright...while this shopping district in Quiapo, a district in the centre of Manila, Philippines is half the size of Princes Street, you get the point...
So when A was about 3 years old I acquired internet access and every year since while friends huffed and puffed their way through the various shopping spots in the Edinburgh and the Lothians, I sat back with my coffee and biscuits, logged on and completed the whole task in less than 24 hours. The next few weeks would be spent making Christmas decoration and receiving packages from the post person.
Until this year that is.
Edinburgh has been hit really hard by the snowfall.
The army had to be brought in to clear the streets, schools were shut for an entire week and none of the pavements were cleared or gritted. With a baby in a buggy I was housebound for a week! The snow meted and then turned to ice and after witnessing a few people fall with baby's in slings, I stayed in the house. With the snow crisis we have been having here all of the parcels I ordered in November haven't arrived! I have none of the kids Christmas presents and have had to face the terrors of Edinburgh shopping to buy back up gifts and all of the relatives gifts.
It has started to snow again....
2 comments:
I hope they arrive - I just received an Amazon order from 25th November 2 days ago so fingers crossed. I've been putting off visiting the Christmas Market this year cos I have this strange preference for picking the direction I want to move in, but I fear we are running out of time.... we may only have the weekend left (urgh!)ReplyDelete
They're slowly coming in now, Nikkii.ReplyDelete
I attempted the market a few times with the buggy and developed market rage so gave up and had a sneaky Glühwein when I was on my own. Miss B loved the lights and A loved the pretzels. Merry Xmas. x
