|Display at Heller Nature Center, Highland Park, Illinois
We'd planned a day for hiking and birding, but the fickle Midwestern weather had other ideas. Alternating between sleet, freezing rain, and eventually snow, we tried braving the 40 mph winds but quickly understood it wasn't going to be a nice day for a walk in the woods. Earlier, we'd tried to explore the lakefront by the remains of what used to be Ft. Sheridan, but conditions were even worse at the shore. Defeated, but unwilling to just head back into Chicago, we stopped in the visitor's center at Heller.
|Reading space well stocked with nature books, bird guides, etc.
It had come up, as Danny was talking about a sports team outside of Illinois. "Our neighbour used to own that team", I mentioned casually. I'd never thought that was strange. Successful businesspeople (in this case, someone that made a fortune providing the most mundane service) often go on to buy sports teams. I mean, why work so hard if you don't get to spend it on something you'd like? Anyway, other than remembering the school bus stop was at the corner of his front lawn, and he always waved to us as he left for work, I can't say much about him as a person. Oh, there were rumours of wild parties, but I was never invited to those😀. Anyway, Danny had never seen a truly over-the-top posh neighbourhood, so off we went.
When we moved to Highland Park in the 70's it wasn't because my parents wanted to. After several heart attacks and eventually a triple bypass (a fairly new surgery at the time) my mother wanted to live in a home where she wouldn't be required to climb stairs. Unable to find an existing home they liked in Skokie, someone suggested they see a new subdivision being built in Highland Park where they could buy a lot and custom build the house they'd like.
At the time, Highland Park west of the highway was still rural. I mean, rural. Like horse farms, and fields rural. There were about a dozen homes already built in the newly developed area, and the street where we eventually built our house was only partially paved. The sidewalk wasn't even completed, ending abruptly in a pile of mud. The few existing homes were very, very, fancy. My mother caught sight of one, like a miniature version of the White House complete with white columns and a sprawling horseshoe driveway in front. "We don't belong here." She observed. We didn't, but went ahead and did it anyway.
In the decades since, the area has been completely built-up with newer, larger estates. As we turned in, my husband noticed the house that had so intimidated my mother back in the early 70's. He was struck by the state of disrepair and the pretentions that must have inspired someone to build such a horrible thing in the first place. The lawn was a wreck, the paint was all peeling, and the overgrown bushes, now trees gave it a Grey Gardens vibe. You couldn't possibly use that driveway without doing serious damage to your car.
The people that built homes in that subdivision weren't from "old money" families. They were newly rich in the era of WIN ("Whip Inflation Now") when the rest of the country was struggling. Where it might have been gauche to flaunt wealth in most places, no such social prohibitions existed there. I'd never encountered people that would start conversations with a stranger by asking how many square feet your home had, until I moved to Highland Park.
I've always been thankful that my personality was pretty much formed before we moved to Highland Park or I might have had a harder time with the fact that I absolutely did not fit in. I'm not always in the right, but being the sort of person that is willing to believe I am, despite any evidence to the contrary provided just enough insulation to get through eight years of living on the North Shore. I'm always struck when I run into people that grew up in Highland Park how they end up in the extremes. One person became an investment banker, another a Catholic Worker. Highland Park does that to people, I guess.
The house I lived in didn't look too bad, and I noticed they built an addition because...it wasn't already large enough?! The quince bush/tree was gone, understandably as unless you particularly liked quince it would quickly cover the lawn in fruit each autumn. The other trees that were mere twigs when we planted them were now fully grown and offered shade and privacy dwarfing the one-level ranch style house. I couldn't see the backyard, but I'm certain they didn't leave it wild prairie as my parents had. I'd guess there was a pool, and possibly a tennis court back there by now.
We drove through, looking at the homes that seemed so opulent in the 70's but had aged poorly and in another town with favourable zoning might have been divided up into several living spaces. Where older homes in established neighbourhoods can blend in without drawing too much attention, even being desirable housing stock, these properties, each more outrageous than the last and secluded in a subdivision appeared a museum of bad taste-and not in a kitsch sort of way. Not every home was in a state of disrepair, but enough of them were, to dissuade anyone from wanting to buy there when so many newer, modern McMansions are being built just down the road. What will they look like in 40 years? I wonder how long it will be before the subdivision is razed for something newer to be built atop all that 70's brick?
We found One Point Four's house. It still looked like a windowless office building, but someone had replaced the strange panelling on the outside to give it a bit of a face lift. It was raining heavily, and the outside looked like someone had splashed water on a slate and the chalk had smeared in places.
The interesting thing about the house was what you couldn't see from the outside and would only know if you'd either been inside, or had seen it being built, as I had. The entire structure, which I can only describe as a gigantic, multi-storey box, is built around an equally gigantic boulder. No, not a "rock." A giant, maybe 20 Ft. tall boulder.
I remember when it arrived on the site. Naively, I thought it was something they'd put in the garden, and that it arrived prior to building so they could get it properly situated. Nah, they were going to build their house around the rock, and still leave room for an indoor pool. In comparison, spending your money on a sports team seems like a more reasonable investment. They were runoured to have paid cash for the house as well, which might have been true as the stagflation years of the 70's weren't a good time to be asking your banker for $1.4 million to build an ugly house around a boulder in the posh suburbs.
These days, the homes in planned communities have very little to tell them apart. Working off a handful of floorplans, a few exteriors to chose from, and a standard landscaping design you would be unlikely to find a builder willing to build a house around a rock, or stick a swimming pool in a courtyard. As crazy as some of those homes were (40ft. gold lion statues at either side of the drive?) at least they were distinctive. They weren't especially well built though, and less than fifty years on they look ready to collapse. I wonder about the people living in those houses today. Would a Highland Park address really be worth living with a giant boulder in your living room? I'm willing to bet they couldn't get $1.4 million for it today. Imagine the real estate listing.
"Six bedroom, four bath home in Highland Park. Indoor pool, eat-in kitchen with updated appliances, giant boulder in living room."
A better writer could find a lesson in all this about the impermanence of wealth where all that remains is a giant boulder, but I'm struggling to do it without sounding like a moralising prat. If my parents were still alive to see the decay of the neighbourhood it would undoubtedly bother them. Being the least ambitious person I know, seeing the present state of things felt pleasingly levelling to me. Perhaps for the first time in my life I felt successful. Not in the financial sense, rather in that I've never been so full of myself that I would entertain, much less follow through on building a house around a giant boulder, just because.

text: Studies on Arts Examine Turnouts, Impacts in Schools Page ContentThe Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) This article summarizes major findings from Motivations Matter, a Wallace-supported report from the Urban Institute that explains how people's motivations for attending arts events — and their expectations of what they'll experience — vary greatly depending on the arts discipline or type of event. "The study concluded that arts groups wishing to turn audiences into frequent visitors need to heighten the particular kind of satisfaction those visitors seek from their cultural experiences," Carolyn Jack writes in this Plain Dealer story. Motivations Matter, released in November 2005, contains the most recent insights in The Wallace Foundation's effort to enhance arts providers' knowledge about what approaches might draw new audiences for their work. An ongoing goal of the foundation is to increase arts participation among adults and children and within underserved audiences. The Plain Dealer story also connects the conclusions of Motivations Matter with recent research from the Arts Education Partnership, which looked at arts curricula and opportunities at 10 schools nationwide, one of which is located in Cleveland.

NAHL announces Combat Hockey 3 stars of the week
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) today announced the Three Stars of the Week presented by Combat Hockey for the week ending December 19, 2011. The Three Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2011-12 regular season that honors the top performing players each week of the regular season as nominated by their respective teams.
1st Star: Connor McBride, forward, Janesville Jets
Janesville's momentum from their overtime win over division-leading St. Louis back on December 11th carried right into this past weekend as they traveled to Chicago for a three-game road set against the Hitmen. Thanks in large part for forward Connor McBride, the Jets kept that momentum going with a sweep of all three games and kept pace for the division lead. McBride, 20, recorded nine points (5 goals, 4 assists) in the sweep and now is tied for the Jets team lead in scoring. The native of Hartland, Wisconsin struck for two goals and two assists in back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday, which the Jets won 6-4 and 8-2 respectively. On Sunday with the Jets down 3-1, McBride scored a key power play goal that fueled the Jets comeback to win 4-3. For the season the 5'10/175 lbs. forward has 29 points in 29 games played. This is McBride's second year with the Jets. Last season, he was selected to compete at the 2011 NAHL Top Prospects Tournament in Ann Arbor before sustaining an injury. "Connor had a very big weekend for us. I think he really got back on track after he scored the overtime winner against St. Louis last weekend," said Jets head coach Dane Litke. "He is a streaky scorer so when he is working hard to get to the net, shooting more and playing with a lot of confidence. He is at the top of his game and helps us be a better team."
2nd Star: Jeffrey Pauluk, defenseman, Fresno Monsters
Fresno has the #1 power play in the league as a big reason why may be the play of this week's #2 star, defenseman Jeffrey Pauluk. This past weekend the native of Bloomington, Minnesota recorded five points (1 goal, 4 assists) from the blueline in two games as Fresno continued their current winning streak with a weekend road sweep at Dawson Creek. Pauluk, 19, was also a +4 during the weekend and he currently leads the Monsters in scoring for defenseman with 22 points in 22 games played. He ranks tied for 4th in the NAHL in defensive scoring. On Friday he recorded an assist in Fresno's 5-3 win over the Rage. On Saturday, the 5'7/165 lbs. Pauluk had a shorthanded goal and three assists in an 8-5 win, which extended Fresno's winning streak to four games. "I think Jeff has learned a lot in the two years he has been playing in the NAHL, and it is showing," said Monsters head coach Eric Ballard. "He is more productive offensively, better defensively and is playing in every possible situation for us. He isn't big, but he has the skill necessary to compete and play at the next level and has been the anchor for us all season long."
3rd Star: Cory Ward, forward, Aberdeen Wings
Every team has its most valuable player and Aberdeen forward Cory Ward may be just that for the Wings this season. This past weekend, Ward, 18, helped the Wings sweep a home-and-home set with the Minot Minotauros as Aberdeen has now won six of their last seven games. Ward finished the weekend with five points (4 goals, 1 assist) in two games played and was a +4 on the weekend. On Friday, the Las Vegas, Nevada native recorded a goal and assist as the Wings beat Minot 4-3 in overtime. Ward scored the game-tying goal on a penalty shot with just one-second remaining in regulation. The next night, Ward recorded a hat-trick, which included goals in all three periods as Aberdeen beat Minot, 5-1. For the year, Ward leads the Wings in scoring with 39 points in 28 games played and he also ranks 5th in the NAHL in scoring. "I think Cory did a great job of finding the net, but what people don't understand is how good he has been defensively," said Wings head coach Pete Sauer. "Playing the defensive part of the game is just as important to him as scoring. He goes out of his way be physical and deliver a hit. He is the perfect example of how you should play two-way hockey and it's one of the major reasons he obtained a scholarship. He is one of the best pressure players I have seen."
Other players nominated were (alphabetical): Anthony Appleyard, defenseman, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Jordan Bancroft, forward, Janesville Jets – Karl Beckman, defenseman, Amarillo Bulls – Riley Borer, forward, Fresno Monsters – Tyler Bruggeman, goaltender, Austin Bruins – Tommy Burke, goaltender, Bismarck Bobcats – Ben Carey, forward, Wenatchee Wild – Michael Dery, forward, Corpus Christi IceRays – Frank Dichiara, forward, St. Louis Bandits – Kyle Gattelaro, forward, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Tyler Green, goaltender, St. Louis Bandits – Gabe Levin, forward, Fairbanks Ice Dogs – Peter Megariotis, goaltender, Port Huron Fighting Falcons – Reid Mimmack, goaltender, Texas Tornado – Patrick Moore, forward, Bismarck Bobcats – Sean O'Rourke, defenseman, Fairbanks Ice Dogs – CJ Reuschlein, forward, Texas Tornado – Blake Roubos, forward, Wenatchee Wild – Anthony Stolarz, goaltender, Corpus Christi IceRays – Mike Taffe, goaltender, Amarillo Bulls – Nolan Valleau, defenseman, Port Huron Fighting Falcons – Marcus Zelzer, goaltender, Aberdeen Wings.
NOTE: Because there are no NAHL regular season games this week due to the holidays, there will be no 3 stars award on December 26th. The next 3 stars award will be announced on Monday, January 2nd.


text: The Kansas Legislature could soon decide on a plan to divert money from roads. Also under review at the capitol is an effort that is intended to improve safety on two well-traveled roadways.A Republican-led initiative in the House would divert $350 million over two years from roads. The money would be used to replace revenue lost by a cut in state income taxes.Two years ago six-tenths of a penny was added to the state's 5.7 percent sales tax. The increase is set to expire in July 2013.To help the state cope with the loss in revenue, the House plan would use funds designated for the state's comprehensive T-WORKS transportation program.The House GOP initiative is an alternative to Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal to extend collection of the 0.6-cent tax.Plans call for the $350 million to be put back into highways down the road.Critics, including the Kansas Department of Transportation, say some road projects would have to be delayed if lawmakers sign off on the diversion.The House plan would set fiscal year 2013 as the baseline for sales tax aid to KDOT. Supporters say the distinction would keep sales tax the same during the next two fiscal years, before increasing in 2016.The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association is opposed to diverting money designated for transportation uses.On OOIDA's list of highway funding principles, the Association demands the responsible use of taxpayer dollars.Also of interest to truck drivers is an effort to improve safety on two heavily used roadways near Kansas City and Wichita.The Senate voted 22-18 to advance a bill to create "safety corridors" on Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Lenexa, and on U.S. Highway 54.The distinction would authorize law enforcement to charge double fines for speeding and other moving violations in the affected areas.Advocates are hopeful the change will reduce deadly traffic wrecks occurring on the roadways in recent years.In addition, offenses of exceeding the posted limit by 5 mph could not be negotiated to keep violations off an offenders' driving record. Kansas law now allows speeding violations up to 10 mph outside safety corridors to stay off drivers' records.The bill – SB342 – is awaiting assignment to committee in the House.To view other legislative activities of interest for Kansas, click here.Editor's Note: Please share your thoughts with us about the story topic.

Spring In Stripes
Happy Tuesday !! Now that spring is rolling in, we can finally enjoy good sunny days. I hope you all are taking full advantage of these golden days, especially if you're from a cold place like London, where the weather is bipolar. Anyway since it's Tuesday and most of you are working, I want to talk about workwear outfit.
Your work outfit doesn't always have to be boring and dull. If you are limited in colours ( to black, white and blue), then you can always play around with different texture and shape to make your outfit more interesting. One good way is to incorporate stripes into your outfit, specially pinstripe. This print is an evergreen classic hit that can be worn every season and you can style it up for a bold & chic look or style it down for a more casual smart look.
Personally, I love pinstripe especially when wore it with matching top and bottom. I also love incorporating elements of feminine touch in my outfit. As for me, A great outfit is when there is a balanced presence of both feminine and masculine element. So Today, I am wearing a matching top and bottom suit with pinstripe detail. I am pairing it with my ruffle blouse for a feminine touch. This outfit is perfect for me when I want to style-up my outfit to look bold and smart-chic.

Breast Resources
I would like to share some of my favorite resources for breast information and treatment.
Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
For help with finding multidisciplinary teams of breast surgeons, oncologists and radiation specialists: www.breastcare.org
For websites of breast surgeons: www.breastsurgeons.org or www.womensurgeons.org/CDR/Breast.htm
There are several websites that cover the basics and overview of breast cancer treatment options. Here are my favorites:
A Breast Center should have a library of information, pamphlets, brochures, videos and check lists: www.educareinc.com/patient
Information on understanding choices between a lumpectomy and mastectomy: www.healthandage.com
Information about a relatively new procedure called sentinel node biopsy. www.cancernews.com/ and www.healfaster.com
Most breast centers today have equipment to biopsy mammographic findings with a needle and thus spare a woman a trip to the operating room. This is called a stereotactic biopsy or a mammotone-core biopsy
Breast Cancer Prevention
Audio tape about doing self-exams, talking women through an exam with music in the background — www.womentowomen.com/shop/video.php
The website of Diana Dyer,
a nutritionist who has had breast cancer 3 times: www.dianadyermsrd.com,
or Anne Fonda's website: www.annieappleseedproject.org.
Anne has compiled a wealth of
personal and scientific information on complementary and alternative,
including nutritional treatments. Also I would suggest www.drnorthrup.com and www.drweil.com for
diet, recipes and supplement ideas.
For getting involved in the politics of breast cancer, check out the national breast cancer coalition's website: www.natlbcc.org or www.bcaction.org
Breast Pain
Several years ago I wrote an article about solving the mystery of breast pain. The points of that article are still true today.
For breast pain, also check out http://www.cancerhelp.com/ed/breastpain.htm
For breast massage techniques: breast massage techniques
For changes in life or work, a website to share some tools: www.creativechoices.net
The website of Cheryl Richardson, the premiere lifestyle and
life make-over coach: www.cherylrichardson.com
My favorite still remains one of the first — Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book.
Other books I would recommend include:

Panthers to Host Ice Hockey Clinic at Icetopia Skating Rink in Barbados
Alex Petrovic and Ian McCoshen to head the NHL's first ice hockey clinic in the Caribbeanby Staff / FloridaPanthers.com
SUNRISE, Fla. - The Florida Panthers announced today that the club will host an ice hockey clinic at Icetopia Skating Rink in Wildey, Barbados on Tuesday, August 22 as part of the Panthers youth hockey and community outreach initiatives. The NHL's first ice hockey clinic in the Caribbean will feature Panthers defensemen Alex Petrovic and Ian McCoshen as head instructors.
"Our outreach in the Caribbean over the last five years have been invaluable experiences for our players, staff and the youth learning the game of hockey for the first time," said Panthers President & CEO Matthew Caldwell. "After introducing the sport through ball hockey clinics for the past trips we are proud to be the first NHL team to have an ice hockey clinic in the Caribbean and work alongside a great partner like Barbados."
Joining Petrovic and McCoshen on the trip will be Panthers alumni and Vice President, Business Operations Shawn Thornton and Vice President of Broadcasting and Alumni Randy Moller.
The first skating rink of its kind in the Caribbean, Icetopia Skating Rink uses a synthetic ice surface requiring all participants to wear ice skates. Participants in the clinic will range from ages 5-14. All equipment used in the clinic will be donated to Icetopia.
"We are happy to be hosting the Panthers for their second year in Barbados and share this experience with them," said Owner of Icetopia Paolo Carraro. "Skating is of course a very new concept to Barbados. So to have the novelty of being able to skate with a professional hockey player is pretty amazing for a Bajan child."
The trip to Barbados marks the Panthers sixth consecutive offseason visit to the Caribbean involving community outreach and youth hockey. The Panthers previously have visited Barbados (2016), Dominican Republic (2015), Bahamas (2014) and Puerto Rico (2013, 2012).
"It is an honor to host the Florida Panthers on-island and provide the youth of our community with the opportunity to learn ice hockey from some of the sports' best players in the world," said Petra Roach, US Director, Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc.

Nathaniel Can Walk
This was last Thursday (took me this long to figure out how to rotate it so you didn't have to watch it sideways). The week before, we were counting five steps, six steps…. And now he's even more stable. Definitely walking as his primary mode of movement now.

So there are a lot of these Succubus games from Librasoft. Enough to fill a bit to much room in the other games page so I'm going to make a post for these games in release order and just update it when a new game comes, if one does.
For people who don't know what I'm talking about, the Succubus games are mostly Castlevania insipired games purposely made in an older artstyle and using gameplay from older games. The games all feature collectibles that tell you about the world with some girl getting raped in some way in a cg.

KR Audio • VA910 Mono Amplifiers $16,500 Review
October 4, 2017 § Leave a comment
"The VA910 midrange had lovely, emotionally significant accuracy, but it was not as magical as that of a a SET amp, nor did the VA910s bring out the inner harmonic structure of music in the way triodes or OTL amplifiers can. I had no complaints with their bass, which was full and nimble. The upper end of the frequency spectrum, however, was not quite as extended as it could be, with a little less airiness or openness in the upper reaches than I would preferred."

It seems there is simply nothing that Denmark's cute and cosy Copenhagen can't do, its hygge-fuelled engines whirring with gusto at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, leading the way for all art that's brilliantly international and contemporary.
Settled on its cobbled King's New Square home, carved vines frame the wide windows and decorative grilles of must-see Copenhagen art gallery, Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
Hosting contemporary exhibitions, installations, films, talks and events from artists both international and Denmark-based, there is always something to do, see and engage with. And knowing trend-setting Copenhagen, you'll want to be able to say you 'saw it there first', anyway.
The illuminatingly wide, white and glowingly well-lit galleries give off a cool London vibe mixed with Scandi cool, making the Kunsthal Charlottenborg the envy of art curators everywhere.
Stop off at the highly respected Motto Bookstore and grab an artsy, coffee-table memento before you leave, be it an art book on critical design, typography, literature or theory, they have it all; everywhere, in fact. On the walls and in the shelves, from the interior design to the exterior architecture, the Charlottenborg Palace and its extension Kunsthal Charlottenborg live for art, through and through.
A must-see stop-off for gallery fanatics everywhere, you'll be returning again and again to this contemporary palace of style.
For more must-see hotspots in Denmark's Copenhagen, check out our Travel Journal, bursting with ideas for trips, news on style, design, foodie affairs and fashion.
White Line Hotels seek inspiring and enduring travel destinations as much as we do in the contemporary and the pop-up; what is always there is style.

HumiSeal® 1B31LOC is a low VOC solvent based conformal coating that complies with most North American air quality regulations. HumiSeal® 1B31LOC is a fast drying, single component, acrylic coating that provides excellent moisture and environmental protection for printed circuit assemblies. HumiSeal® 1B31LOC demonstrates excellent flexibility and electrical properties, fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection and is easily repaired. HumiSeal® 1B31LOC coating is MIL-I-46058C qualified, and IPC-CC-830 and RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant.
Cleanliness of the substrate is of extreme importance for the successful application of a conformal coating. Surfaces must be free of moisture, dirt, wax, grease, flux residues and all other contaminants. Contamination under the coating could cause problems that may lead to assembly failures.
Depending on the complexity, density and configuration of components on the assembly, it may be necessary to reduce the viscosity of HumiSeal® 1B31LOC with HumiSeal® Thinner 701 in order to obtain a uniform film. Once optimum viscosity is determined, a controlled rate of immersion and withdrawal (5-15 cm/min) will further ensure even deposition of the coating and ultimately a uniform film. During the application, evaporation of solvent causes an increase in viscosity that should be adjusted by adding small amounts of HumiSeal® Thinner 701. Viscosity in the dip tank should be checked regularly, using a simple measuring device such as a Zahn or Ford viscosity cup.
HumiSeal® 1B31LOC can be sprayed using conventional spraying equipment. Spraying should be done in an environment with adequate ventilation so that the vapour and mist are carried away from the operator. The addition of HumiSeal® Thinner 701 is necessary to ensure a uniform spray pattern resulting in pinhole-free film. The amount of thinner and spray pressure will depend on the specific type of spray equipment used and operator technique.
HumiSeal® 1B31LOC may be brushed with a small addition of HumiSeal® Thinner 701. Uniformity of the film depends on component density and operator's technique.

(Part 1)
In Central Europe
Many important new railway systems came into existence after the war of 1914-
1918. Two of the most important are those of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The major portion of the
Czechoslovak railways
was formerly under the control of the State Railways of the Austro-
Hungarian Empire. Since the war the policy of the Czechoslovak railways has been to improve main lines, and to afford better international communications. Electrification has also been carried out, and more is planned. The Czechoslovakia State lines conveyed some 220,000,000 passengers in 1933. The
State Railways of Yugoslavia
have overcome many difficulties, some of them unconnected with the railways themselves. The railways of Yugoslavia are also described in this chapter.
Pages 1454-
British Express Locomotives
The year 1935 has been one of the most eventful years in the history of railways. There have been developments vital to the future of rail transport. On March 5 the LNER steam locomotive "Papyrus" attained a speed of 108 miles and hour; later, a
streamlined engine in Germany
touched a speed of 119 miles an hour; then came a host of startling time-
table accelerations in the USA. In Europe there has also been a reduction of schedules, and an increase of super-
speed rail-
cars. In Great Britain the large number of runs at over sixty miles an hour was greatly augmented. The new
LMS turbine-
driven express
locomotive marked a significant advance; finally there was the record-
breaking streamlined train "Silver Jubilee", which was described in
part 45
. The rapid progress has been due to the steady improvement in the tractive effort of the modern locomotives -
especially in Great Britain. This chapter includes a thorough survey of the notable classes of each of the four big systems and will contain a comprehensive table showing the chief dimension of the principal classes of British express engines in use to-
Pages 1464-
Spain and Portugal
(Part 1)
The systems of one of the older European countries, Spain, are representative of modern influence upon that ancient nation. Some misinformed people believe that Span has not advanced with the times. But this chapter disproves this statement. A nation's railways are a guide to a nation's progress or decline. This chapter shows that an excellent service is offered to-
day by the various companies. In countries as mountainous as Spain and Portugal narrow-
gauge lines might be expected, but the main gauge is, on the contrary, very broad -
5 ft 6 in -
and only to be found elsewhere in India and the Argentine. The main routes through Spain are particularly interesting. The railways in that country began in 1848. By the end of the nineteenth century, the mileage of track open totalled some 8,000. To-
day it is over 10,000. One of the chief
Spanish railways
is the Northern, which owns some 2,300 miles of broad-
gauge track, besides a large mileage of metre-
gauge track. This company operates the most important trunk line from Madrid to Irun on the French frontier. Further, the Northern has followed a policy of electrification, and some of its most difficult sections are worked by electrically-
hauled trains. There are no through expresses between Paris and Madrid, because of the break of gauge. One of the busiest links between France and Spain, however, is Irun, which connects with Hendaye on the system of the Paris-
Midi system.
The total railway mileage in Portugal is about 2,130, and of this total over 1,500 are controlled by the
Portuguese Railways Company
, and the remainder by smaller companies. The gauge of the Portuguese railways is the same as that of the Spanish, 5 ft 6 in. This system too is included in this interesting chapter. The article is concluded in

Pages 1473-
Locomotive Accessories
This chapter describes one of the most important items of a railway engine's equipment -
, which supplies water to the boiler. Invented in 1859 by Frenchman,
Henri Giffard
, it now forms a vital part of the modern engine. The action and use of the donkey-
pump, the
water heater
, the
, the
, and the "booster" will also be clearly explained. The
is one of the most interesting locomotive accessories. It is a small auxiliary engine which drives one or more pairs of wheels on the engine or tender. The "booster" is employed chiefly to give extra power when starting exceptionally heavy trains, and has been installed on several big American and on some British locomotives. This is the seventeenth and final article in the series on
Design and Invention
You can read a useful technical summary of the steam locomotive injector in
George Nissenson's treatise

A Combined Pump and Heater
A COMBINED PUMP AND HEATER for the boiler feed water fitted by Messrs. J. Stone, Ltd., To a "Beyer-
Garratt" locomotive on the Kenya-
Uganda Railway. The water is heated by means of tubular heaters which are placed on top of the boiler. The pump, with its valves, is situated at the side of the boiler, and is controlled from the locomotive cab. To the left of the feed-
water heater pump is shown a small steam turbine and electric generator for supplying current to the headlights at either end of the engine. To the left of the feed-
water heater is seen the dome from which steam is taken to the cylinders, and to the left of this again are the clack valves through which water is supplied to the boiler. Against the smoke-
box can be seen the Westinghouse pump for supplying compressed air to the brake system.

Sounds of the Season Review

The MVHS orchestras and bands always puts on wonderful shows, and last night was no exception.
The show may not have been as good as some of their other concerts, but the show was still very enjoyable, especially for a show that was free admission.
The first half of the show was the string, chamber, and symphony orchestras.
All of the pieces that they played were well performed, enjoyable to listen too, and fit well into the holiday spirit.
The best pieces that were performed were Christmas Troika, Fantasia on "Greensleeves," Allegro Vivo from "Concerto Grosso" and March of the Nutcracker.
While all of the pieces were a joy to listen to, the first half of the concert did suffer from one problem. None of the pieces had a truly memorable piece that could truly elevate the show from a really good show, to a great show.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't make it as good as it could be.
The second half of the show was the Percussion Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and the Wind Ensemble.
Like the orchestras, all of pieces that were selected for the bands were executed wonderfully.
The best pieces performed were Christmas Time is Here, Millenium, NIMROD from "Enigma Variations" and Salvation is Created.
All of the pieces fit the holiday season, and are a joy to listen to.
Unfortunately, the bands suffer from the same problem as the orchestras. All of the selections are good, and performed very well, but there is still a lack one piece that can make the whole concert great.
This could stem from the fact that a lot of the songs chosen have been done a lot in the past. They are still fun to listen too, but it isn't anything I haven't heard before.
Regardless, all of the pieces were enjoyable and it would be foolish to miss the next concert.
The Sounds of the Season concert gets and 8.5/10.

Project Management for Profit - A Special Workshop with Joe Knight
Project Management for Profit - A Special Workshop with Joe Knight
Finally, a sustainable answer to the perennial issues of Project Management...
The holy grail of project management is knowing, in terms of both budget and schedule, where you stand at any given moment – while making course corrections in real time. Most project management systems leave you perilously short of this goal.
We are thrilled to have Joe Knight (co-author of the bestselling Financial Intelligence) join us for a workshop that will help answer this question by teaching participants an easy-to-implement system, developed and field-tested for almost two decades, that will teach them how to:
Track progress on a weekly basis against budget and deadlines
Empower their team to fix whatever goes wrong
Identify the real financial impact of customer change requests as they happen, and precisely incorporate every change into the overall project cost
Create a detailed database of past projects to calculate costs and hours for the most accurate possible budgets
If you're a project management professional, an entrepreneur, or a manager at any level, you cannot afford to find out after the fact that you've missed your targets. The Setpoint system will get you where you need to be!

When the softly strumming guitar and the harmonious voices of Mumford and Sons fill the room, I immediately assume that I'm in for a record of calmly earnest folk music. Little do I know that the opening title track of Sigh No More will build to dark, driving bluegrass. When the lyrics tell me "love will not betray, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free," I imagine my fist punching the air like an impassioned revolutionary.
And that's exactly what the album Sigh No More is—it's impassioned and revolutionary. It's impassioned in that the vocals are sung with absolute sincerity and emotion. It's revolutionary in that it's a hybrid of folk, country and rock that, somehow—almost surprisingly in an era of genre hybrids—is unique.
Throughout the album, the music communicates nostalgia, love, hope, poignancy, anger and desperation. Each song is distinctive by either conveying a different emotion, using a different structure and metre or emphasising different vocal harmonies.
When it comes to the vocals, Mumford and Sons use harmonies that are similar to Fleet Foxes. But, where Fleet Foxes are smooth and choral, Mumford and Sons are more powerful and a little rough around the edges. That's just the way I like it—occasionally even gravelly, the lyrics are unmistakeably masculine.
One of the songs that's a standout is Little Lion Man. A rollicking guitar song, its elevating, barn dance-esque strumming defies the track's lyrics ("it was not your fault but mine/and it was your heart on the line/I really fucked it up this time/didn't I my dear?"), as the song talks about gaining the courage to admit offence.
Dust Bowl Dance is also spectacular. But, in contrast to Little Lion Man is an angry confession of sin from someone who has had taken from them what's important ("I've been kicked off my land at the age of 16"). Heavy guitar licks make Dust Bowl Dance one of the more rocky tracks on the album, despite beginning in a slow and lonely way ("there was no one in the town and no one in the field") but when the song finally does build, frustration emerges, along with the solid guitar.
All in all, Sigh No More is an album worth listening to, even if only for its diversity. Don't be fooled by the opening track though, the album is not for the faint hearted. The mature themes, sophisticated melodies and emotional vocals make this one of the albums of the year.

The Vell-os are a race of telepaths. They, and any other Federation citizens showing signs of telepathic ability, are currently enslaved by the Bureau. Their telepathic ships and weapons have proven to be very effective for military use for the Federation against the Aurorans, and they have also proven to be very effective at locating individuals, such as traitors and Mu'hari spies. Furthermore, the Vell-os are responsible for ascertaining guilt in court cases (although, at present, the Bureau has usurped the process by determining the outcome in advance).
Timeline Edit
-1800 NC (circa 980 AD) - Several powerful telepathic humans, led by an Indian prince named Vell-os, leave Earth using psi powers.
230 NC - The first encounter between the Vell-os and the Colonial Council.
242 NC - The Vell-os become members of the Colonial Council.
420 NC - Even though the rest of the Colonial Council refuses to fund Kerell Polaris's expedition to the galactic north-east, the Vell-os provide support for him.
552 NC - The Vell-os withdraw from the Colonial Council in protest of a declaration of war against the Polaris.
553 NC - A group of Vell-os stops a military fleet sent by the Colonial Council into Polaran space.
555 NC - The Colonial Council attacks the Vell-os in an attempt to force them into becoming members of the Council again.
605 NC - The Vell-os surrender to the Colonial Council in order to prevent more bloodshed. All Vell-os are enslaved by the Council. Krypt is created.
Vell-os Psionic Starships Edit
Vell-os ships are unique in that they are psychic creations, perfectly formed for efficient hyperspace travel.

California Is Drying Up
B. McPherson
The Golden State is facing its worst drought ever.
California is suffering from its worst drought in a century. Governor Jerry Brown has declared a drought emergency. Over 80% of the Golden State is suffering from severe to exceptional drought. Even in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, lack of snow cover has ski resorts closed.
Wildfires in the state are expected to get worse as the vegetation becomes tinder.
California is the leading agricultural producer in the US. Farming is being squeezed due to lack of water. Beef cattle, normally out grazing have to be fed hay instead, at a much higher cost to the farmer. That is, when the farmer can afford to bring in hay from out of state. Lack of water in the irrigation ponds means little water for the animals to drink. Many ranchers are sending their stock to slaughter early and at a loss.
Dairy farmers are faced with low milk prices and higher forage prices.
Much of the fresh vegetables that we enjoy in the Canadian supermarkets come from the rich agricultural lands. The drought is so severe that irrigation water may not be available this growing season and large tracts may be left fallow.
"Annual crops like melons and vegetables may not get planted," Ross said, adding that if that happens, local produce will be at a premium. "Yolo and San Luis Obispo counties (important agricultural producers) are also running very dry." San Francisco Gate
Wine producers in the Sonoma Valley are watching the situation carefully.
One of the reasons that people flock to California to live is because of its many sunny days. According to the US Census figures, the population of that state is now over 38 million. To put that in perspective, the population of the whole of Canada, the second largest country by area is about 35 million. The pressure on the natural resources, especially drinking water is great and getting worse. Gov Brown has urged a 20% drop in individual water consumption.
Lake Folsom, an important water source, is currently only 17% of capacity. A town, abandoned over a hundred years ago, has resurfaced. In the south, the mighty Colorado River is reduced to a trickle.

Drought has brought many civilizations to their knees.
