Alpena gets back on track with sweep
by By Brian McDonough | NAHL.com
Read the full NAHL Weekly Release.
Losers of four straight games, the Alpena IceDiggers came back to life last weekend with a morale-inspiring two-game sweep over the Motor City Machine.
"Obviously, it was big for us to break out of that slump. That and the fact that every aspect of our game was struggling," said IceDiggers assistant coach Josh Harrold, whose team improved to 22-15-5 on the season. "It was nice to get back on track."
Erik Peterson's third-period goal lifted the IceDiggers to a 5-4 victory on Friday. Peterson also chipped in two assists, and Ryan Timar (goal, assist), Sam Cheraso (goal, assist) and Jay Camper (two assists) each recorded two-point nights. Nick Graves turned aside 20 shots to pick up the win in goal.
The next night, four different players lit the lamp for Alpena as it doubled up the Machine, 4-2. Adam Bristol connected for the game-winning marker, and Graves made 18 saves.
"We played better defensively and, because of that, we created more opportunities offensively," said Harrold.
And Peterson took advantage. The 20-year-old from Alpena put home a goal and three assists last weekend to lead the team's offensive charge.
"It was nice to get Erik back on track," said Harrold of his team's leading scorer, now in his fourth season with the IceDiggers. "He's struggled to find his scoring touch recently. Hopefully, it stays around."
A mainstay between the IceDiggers' pipes, Graves also rebounded last weekend, picking up his 17th and 18th wins of the season to go along with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage.
"Nick has been good all season, but, like everyone else around here, he's been struggling lately," said Harrold of the 20-year-old keeper from Hewitt, Wis. "It was good to see him bounce back, too."
Veteran defensemen Ryan Sell, Jerrod Hartman and JC Gulch also put forth better efforts last weekend, as did first-year blueliners Jason Souva, Bristol and Scott Eberline.
Offensively, Tyler Pilmore, John Fritsche, Andy Yarber and Jim McCusker have delivered with consistency all season, with Camper and Timar and Cheraso and Jordan Miller working well together on their respective lines. Mike DeGrazia has also proved his worth, connecting for some big goals lately.
The IceDiggers also got a big boost upfront with the recent additions Jon Puskar and Richard Manley, both of whom were acquired from the USHL's Lincoln Stars. Puskar, who played for Alpena last season, tallied a goal and an assist in his first two games last weekend; Manley picked up an assist.
"These two guys will bring some much-needed leadership and offense to our team, which we've struggled with in recent weeks," said Harrold. "Their arrival should help spark some of our other players, which it seemed to do last weekend."
Given the strength of the NAHL's North Division, the IceDiggers knew they'd have a fight on their hands in their quest for a playoff berth. Sitting in third place behind the division-leading Mahoning Valley Phantoms and the second-place Traverse City North Stars, Alpena is taking nothing for granted with 16 games left in its regular season.
"We're right where we thought we'd be, chasing Mahoning Valley and Traverse City," said Harrold. "Every game, with the exception of a few, have been decided by one-goal, and we don't see that changing down the stretch. There are no easy games in our division."
And Harrold likes the character of his team, especially when times get tough. That trait could pay dividends as the postseason nears.
"We have a great dressing room," he said. "These guys stick together through adversity and we believe that unity we help them achieve their goal of making the playoffs," he said.
"If we play like a team and are willing to pay the ultimate price shift by shift, game by game, we have a chance to win, just like everybody else."
The IceDiggers don't have any players committed to Division I schools just yet, but, with a strong finish and a meaningful playoff run, Harrold is confident that will change.
"We have players who've made great improvements this season and we've had conversations with a lot of (college) coaches," said the coach. "A lot of our guys know they're being watched and some don't know they're being watched.
"Regardless, we anticipate many of our players to make commitments soon."

International shows of works by contemporary Indian practitioners
Paris-based Galerie Daniel Templon is hosting the first solo in France of the renowned contemporary Indian artist, Atul Dodiya. His works often channel elements of Malevitch, Picabia, Godard, and Munch apart from Bollywood, drawing from popular culture alongside cinematic and literary references. With his propensity for self-reinvention, he has worked in diverse styles, successfully embarking on newer experiments, from his early foray into photo-realism to his rolling shutter works that fetched his international recognition.
Considered one of the most widely followed and established artists of his generation, like his other renowned contemporaries, including Sudarshan Shetty and Subodh Gupta, he looks to build bridges between Indian and Western artistic traditions. He unveils the suite of his latest works - a scintillating series of oils on canvas plus watercolors largely inspired by recent upheavals that took place in Mali. In Timbuktu, the former hub of Malian learning, many scholars are defending their rich cultural heritage courageously against the fundamentalists' attacks. His series pays homage to these fighting scholars and their unflinching fight for artistic and cultural freedom and the unhindered transmission of memory. Skeletal silhouettes, traces of blood and cracked surfaces evoke the haunting feel of the destruction unleashed in Timbuktu.
The poignant figures tend to contrast with the soothing motifs in Turkish tapestries, Malian fabrics, mosaics, Iranian calligraphy etc. Atul Dodiya celebrates the sunniest features of rich Islamic cultural traditions. Glowing in the light of a mystical cosmic circle (moon, sun, globe, eye, and bowl), we get to see glimpses of the author's affinity for quotations and amalgams. Each piece carries a text that features the words of French poets Claude Royet Journoud and Philippe Soupault.
Meanwhile, Sudarshan Shetty's new exhibit, entitled 'The Pieces Earth Took Away' takes place at Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna. In the guise of a peculiar public 'stage' set for theatrical mourning, an intriguing installation series further extends his ongoing interest in futility and meaninglessness, transience and mortality. He appropriates certain ceremonial objects as well as rituals from their funereal social context, as seen traditionally, to recreate them as contemporary props, mourning a fictional death. The passing away of life here operates as a canny trope to explore the very emptiness of production
On the other hand, several of prominent sculptures and installations by the renowned contemporary Indian artist, Bharti Kher, are on view at London's Parasol unit. 'Solarum Series I' (2007–10) is a 9ft tall fiberglass tree has its branches covered with hundreds of seemingly golden autumnal leaves that are of extreme delicacy. One sees on closer inspection that they are miniature, waxy-looking heads of many fantastical creatures. Also on view is 'The deaf room' (2002-2011), her sculpture of dark glass bricks.
Explaining the work, an accompanying note elaborates: "It is seemingly a strictly aesthetic minimalist work, but when one learns the origin of its bricks it begins to reveal its feminine bias and a wealth of symbolism. The barely translucent dark bricks are made from melted glass bangles, those that Indian women traditionally wear in multiples on their wrists. The merest hint of the radiant glow of bangles only becomes apparent when the bricks are exposed to light behind the gestural clay build of the work. It stands for the absence and memory of a woman, in an emptied room, whereas her 'Warrior with Cloak and Shield' (2008) is a life-size fiberglass figure of a woman adorned with exaggeratedly huge stag's antlers. It's part of a series of hybrid half-human, half-animal figures, which again testifies to her non-abidance mind and unflinching imagination!"
Another prominent female artist of her generation, Zarina Hashmi is known for a vivacious visual vocabulary - minimal albeit rich in associations with her own life apart from the thought-provoking themes of exile and displacement, revolves around the concept of home – be it personal, geographic, familial, national or spiritual. It resonates all through her oeuvre. A retrospective of the renowned printmaker-sculptor courtesy Allegra Pesenti features several famous works by her dating from 1961 until now.
The show curated by Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, takes place at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Entitled 'Zarina: Paper Like Skin', it's the major first retrospective show of this world-famous Indian-born American practitioner. Paper is of core essence and central to her art practice, both as a flexible material with its own history and properties as well as a handy surface to print on. Works in the show incorporate woodcuts and three-dimensional casts done in paper pulp.
Born in Aligarh, in 1937 she has settled in New York for the last three decades. Although primarily a printmaker, the artist is an expert sculptor as well. This is, in part because central to her work process is the activity of carving wood blocks. Several artworks in the loosely chronological exhibit are being showcased for the first time ever. They together reveal the breadth of her vision and also the versatility of her wide-ranging practice. According to Ann Philbin, the Hammer director, it's one among a series of survey exhibits to focus on important but many under recognized female artists like Alina Szapocznikow and Lee Bontecou. The presentation of Zarina's artworks also goes to emphasize the institution's commitment to the collection and study of works on paper.

Discussion.The process and modes of healing in the osseous defect were similar histologically in all groups at each period. The histological findings using a light microscope and a fluorescence microscope showed that bone regeneration occurred diffusely about 2 weeks after the surgery. At 8 weeks, the volume of new bone labelled by fluorescence dyes in the osseous defect was greater than that at 16 weeks. Namely, the activity of bone regeneration at 8 weeks was higher than that at 16 weeks. The osseous defects were closed by newly formed cortical bone in all specimens at 16 weeks, and it appeared that bone remodelling activity in the osseous defect at 16 weeks was close to normal. Many studies have reported that e-PTFE membrane is an excellent material for GTR in periodontal treatment (Kon et al. 1991, Caffesse et al. 1994, Cortellini et al. 1996). Also, several studies have shown that GBR using e-PTFE membrane is an effective technique because of its high ability to create a secluded space (Dahlin et al. 1989, 1990, Nyman 1991, Pecora et al. 1995, Simion et al. 1996, Ito et al. 1998). Dahlin et al. (1990) was the first to report in endodontics that bone regeneration using e-PTFE membrane was predictably achieved in osseous defects. Pecora et al. (1995) reported in a clinical study that GTR principle using e-PTFE membrane could be applied effectively to the healing of large periapical lesions. Simion et al. (1996) and Ito et al. (1998) compared the bone regeneration histologically when resorbable and non-resorbable membranes were applied to osseous defects. They concluded that e-PTFE membrane was most effective for GBR. In the present study, the percentage of bone volume (BV/TV) using e-PTFE membrane was significantly higher, and the concavity of new cortical bone using e-PTFE membrane was smaller than that in controls. As such, the application of e-PTFE membrane to the osseous defect in conjunction with apicectomy was an effective technique to achieve bone regeneration.
Figure 5. Representative sections at 16 weeks. Group A, e-PTFE membrane; group B, PLGA membrane; group C, collagen membrane; group D, calcium sulphate; group E, controls ( 1, Villanueva's bone stain).Figure 6. Representative section in group B at 16 weeks after the surgery. Asterisks, the trace of PLGA membrane; F, fibrous tissue; B, newly formed cortical bone ( 5, Villanueva's bone stain).
In periodontology, Caffesse et al. (1994) and Cortellini et al. (1996) reported that similar findings could be achieved in GTR procedures when PLGA membrane and e-PTFE membrane were applied. However, Simion et al. (1996) reported that PLGA membrane produced some bone regeneration when compared with controls, but to a lesser extent than e-PTFE membrane. In the present study, PLGA membrane was inferior to e-PTFE membrane and not superior to controls in bone regeneration. The fibrous tissue between the PLGA membrane and the new cortical bone was thick, so that the new cortical bone in the PLGA membrane group was remarkably concave compared with the other groups. Possibly, the PLGA membrane was less biocompatible than e-PTFE membrane, collagen membrane, and calcium sulphate. Collagen is known to show different effects on tissue healing depending on its type, structure, condition of cross-linking and the type of chemical treatment it has undergone. Furthermore, in GTR, microfibrillar collagen membrane, purified from bovine corium collagen, did not effectively prevent apical migration of epithelium in humans (Tanner et al. 1988). However, Zahedi et al. (1998) reported that diphenylphosphorylazide (DPPA), crosslinked collagen membrane, had physico-chemical characteristics compatible with the requirements for GBR. The collagen membrane used in this study was made from atelocollagen that was type I collagen, purified from bovine dermis and solubilized with pepsin. Minabe et al. (1989) reported that the use of atelocollagen membrane in periodontal wounds suppressed the epithelial down-growth along the root surfaces, which rapidly reduced postoperative inflammatory reaction and foreign body giant cell reaction compared with controls. In the present study, however, atelocollagen membrane was not effective for bone regeneration after apicectomy compared with controls. The resorbable membranes used in this study were not effective for bone regeneration compared with e-PTFE membrane, and not different from controls. Another resorbable membrane, polylactic acid (PLA) membrane, has been applied in GTR (Magnusson et al. 1990, Gottlow et al. 1994) and GBR (Uchin 1996, Maguire et al. 1998, Ito et al. 1998, Bohning et al. 1999). Uchin (1996) indicated that the GBR procedure using PLA membrane was an effective technique as an adjunct to endodontic surgery. However, Bohning et al. (1999) found no statistically significant difference in bone regeneration in rat calvaria, whether the GBR using PLA membrane was introduced or not. Maguire et al. (1998) reported that the use of PLA membrane did not show a significant positive effect on periradicular osseous healing in cats. Explanations for these findings include:
Calcium sulphate has been applied to osseous defects (Peltier 1961, Calhoun et al. 1965, Pecora et al. 1997a,b). This material is inexpensive, easy to apply, biocompatible, and completely resorbable. Membranes should be trimmed to cover at least 2–3 mm beyond the margins of the osseous defect and be totally submerged under the repositioned flap to minimize postoperative infection risk (Pecora et al. 1997b). This makes application of the membranes complicated. However the application of calcium sulphate is not difficult, because it is simply mixed and plugged into the osseous defect. Studies reported that the resorption of calcium sulphate and subsequent regeneration of bone occurred rapidly over a period of weeks or months (Peltier 1961, Pecora et al. 1997a, Kim et al. 1998a,b). Yamazaki et al. (1988) suggested that the resorption period of calcium sulphate might be related to its density. In the present study, calcium sulphate was resorbed at 4 weeks. This was similar to the previous report (Pecora et al. 1997a). Bone regeneration using calcium sulphate was similar to that using e-PTFE membrane and superior to controls in the present study. Although many studies reported that the application of calcium sulphate achieved good bone regeneration, its true mechanism is unclear (Peltier 1961, Calhoun et al. 1965, Pecora et al. 1997a). Yamazaki et al. (1988) reported that calcium sulphate did not induce bone formation in the femoral muscle pouch in mice at 6 weeks after implantation of calcium sulphate. Possibly, the calcium sulphate may not be osteoinductive but osteoconductive. In the present study, controls were inferior to e-PTFE membrane and calcium sulphate with respect to the bone volume. Without bone regeneration after apicectomy, the prognosis of the tooth might be compromised because of insufficient resistance against occlusal forces and possible periodontitis in the long term. Also, if the contours of the alveolar bone are concave when the teeth are extracted, prosthodontic procedures or treatment with dental implants might be more difficult to perform. Therefore, it is important to regenerate bone tissue into the osseous defect in conjunction with apicectomy to accomplish predictable treatments.

Microsoft (Quote) is planning a big security update for next Tuesday, with a total of 12 bulletins for the Windows operating system and for many of its major applications.
The software giant has tabbed several of these fixes, come days after Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates discussed the need to shore up computer security in a keynote session at the RSA security show, as "critical."
Five security bulletins involve Microsoft Windows. The company did not say if this is restricted to just Windows XP or also includes the newly-released Windows Vista. Some of the fixes require a restart of the computer.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660766;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281312070;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20392931;e=iTwo Microsoft security bulletins affect Microsoft Office, the highest rated critical. A number of Microsoft Office-related bugs have emerged in recent weeks, some of which have not been patched. In addition, one bulletin impacts both Windows and Office.
The rest are a curious assortment of Microsoft products not prone to security issues. One bulletin impacts Visual Studio, the highest level severity being "important." Another bulletin affects the Step-by-Step Interactive Training, the highest level being important.
There is one security bulletin for the Data Access Components, the highest rated at critical. The final bulletin affects Windows Live OneCare, Microsoft Antigen, Microsoft Windows Defender, Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server and Microsoft Forefront Security for SharePoint with a rating of critical.

We all thought claymores were bad, IED's are so much worse. No way of knowing their there, no way of getting away from them. IED's need to have some sort of beeping sound that always plays when they are placed on the map. IED's are stupid, just like this game.
Use the perk to see them. Stay away from them or shoot them. Yes this game is SHIT I totally agree with you.
the problem is the perk(s) costs 2 slots where using the IED only costs 1. Not very balanced if you ask me.
Well you see a lot more then just IED's.
Ahh, there's a blinking light on the top. Use perk to see equipment. Use tactical before rushing in. USE MARATHON AND YOU CAN JUST RUN RIGHT BY BEFORE IT BLOWS UP! I say that in caps because it happens all the time to me. Trust me, I place mine in good spots too. It's the only none streak mine there is in the game. It's not OP IMO. You can't get more from scavenger either.
if you read a prior post of mine i normally run with blast shield also marathon does not allow you to run past them in hard core game modes its just unlimited sprinting you are better off going with agility but still cant run past them and if you run sit rep and blast shield its 4 slots filled, sit rep is just 2 but thats cool and all that you can see them but like ive mentioned before sometimes there in places you cant pr detonate them b4 going through so you have to go all the way around the map to get by them. blast shield i think is great and helps a lot but not all the time. and what i posted was about being killed by one from 12-15 ft away that was set off by another team mate (who had blast shield). all i was getting at was making the blast radius a true 4-5 ft.
the IED do have a beeping sound, its 2 clear sharp beeps whenever you walk near them, they have a built in stalker pro perk where you can run right past them without any damage.
get out of that BO2 mentality and slow the fuck down, your dieing all the time because your running around aimlessly, spraying bullets everywhere expecting the game to spoon feed you everything.
the game isn't stupid you are.
Not just run right past them but stand right next to them and no die. They don't always kill at point blank range and that should never happen.
got to agree the blast radius is insane but they are alot of fun to use while we are on about them is there a perk that lets you get past them with out setting them off ive seen a few people run straight past mine
TThey flash bright orange or blue or if your blind use the perk that shows them or better still try not runing round like a headless chicken

Welcome to our website!
Like many of the staff I get a company car. The firm picked the mini because of it's reliability, cheap insurance (we bought it through monthly payment site
buymonthlycarinsurance.co.uk to help keep our cash flow healthy; they had the lowest premiums and interest rates), low running costs and all round economy. This helps us to save money and keep our prices low!
I received the 1.5 3 door hatchback as my company car and, to be honest, it wasn't my initial choice; however, after spending a year with it I now love the car! Obviously, choosing to drive a Mini is without doubt a style statement, and I appreciate that it's not for everyone. The design is very clever, though, and there's a great sense of character about the car - I especially like the dashboard layout.
On the road, the Mini feels very positive and the handling in particular is outstanding, which is of course unsurprising as the car was designed and developed under BMW's watchful eye (although as I recall the original Mini was quite good fun to drive too!). The 1.5 engine is a gem - there's plenty of pace on offer, but the engine always remains smooth and refined too. It'll also return over 40mpg, even if you drive it hard. The only slight disappointment is that the gearchange could be a shade slicker when driven quickly.
It's fair to say that the Mini, in 3 door format at least, is not the ideal choice for drivers who regularly cover longer distances. The seats are a little uncomfortable after extended periods of driving, and the hard suspension can also become jarring after a few hours at the wheel. Practicality isn't a strong point; the roofline can obscure taller drivers' vision (especially when trying to see suspended traffic lights) and the door openings are small and oddly shaped, which can make entering and exiting the car an awkward process for taller passengers. The back seats are unlikely to win favour with adults or older children either, except for short journeys around town. I also find that the upright windscreen tends to collect more dead bugs than other vehicles I've owned. Of course, there are other options available in the Mini range that offer accommodation better suited to families; for example the Clubman estate and Countryman SUV models.
Equipment is fairly generous; mine came with a range of features including Adaptive Modes (you can choose between Eco/Norm and Sport), which really change the character of the car depending on what mood you're in! There's also an auto parallel parking feature, although I have never actually used this as the Mini's compact dimensions make it very easy to park unassisted. The stereo also offers Bluetooth connectivity, so that you can stream music from your phone or tablet without fiddling with messy wires.
Lastly, there have been a few small niggles reliability wise, but service from the dealership has been very good - it's certainly not been bad enough to put me off the car!

Well, I'm feeling much better today I managed to get to work early on Tuesday, and work went ok. Actually, I'm enjoying work at the moment. It's varied, and it's interesting. Yesterday I had some admin and paperwork to do, then some meetings to arrange. And today I was on a training day for a qualification thingy I'm going to do. It was in Kent, so I drove over and stayed with a friend last night (as it was closer than driving to the training from home). And it was lovely. We had cake and squirty cream, watched tv and had hugs and giggles. It makes such a difference to have such a good friend, you know? The first thing she did when I got there was give me a hug. And that was just what I needed. You know who you are. Thanks
Today was ok. Though I did get a little annoyed at the man next to me playing with his false teeth all day! Aswell as that, he was eating boiled sweets that kept clunking off his falsies and making an awful racket! I know I shouldn't get annoyed – that'll be me one day! But the sound of sucking on a boiled sweet and then sucking on the false teeth was just too much today I think lol.
So I'm still positive. Even though I crashed on Monday, I bounced back on Tuesday, did a good day's work and got myself up out of the pit again. And a year ago, this crash would have set me back about a week. So there's a huge improvement there. And to be honest, thinking about it, I think it happened because I haven't had a *full* two day weekend for 2 weeks. I've been to Kent to observe some training for the last 2 Saturdays. (It was my choice – I thought I'd be fine!). I think that just took it out of me. but at least I know now, and I know not to do it again
So all's good in the world of Lemonpillows. I'm still feeling bouncy and in a good mood. I've even decided who I'm going to switch my internet connection to! I can't wait to have the reliability of a decent connection – and decent customer service!
Right. I'm off. I have fishcakes and oven chips in the oven, then I need a bath and an early night if I'm to function tomorrow.
Thanks to those of you who sent comments, texts and emails. They were really appreciated. And they do help. Thank you
Ciao readers!

Last week I spent the afternoon helping Hayley sort through some things at her Grandad's house, and amidst the boxes we came across a set of slides..
I had never seen such a big collection of family photos in slide form before. Just when I thought that was it, we found even more hiding in the cupboard!
The most incredible thing about this collection of slides is how organised it has been kept by Hayley's Grandad. I'm used to filing away negatives, so I know how time consuming and boring it can be! I still even have negatives sat at the bottom of shoe boxes without any notes to indicate what they are of.
Once we've had the chance to see what pictures are on these transparencies, my job is to scan a load of them, so I'll definitely have a big job ahead of me! It will be worth it in the end though, and I think it should uncover some entertaining & interesting family history for Hayley.
It's amazing to think that there was time when people waited to see their holiday photos, and when the slides eventually did come back in the post they would be viewed as a sort of presentation with the entire family gathered round.
I also think it's nice to see family photos in physical form, rather than on a screen. I wonder if in years to come it will be the norm to have a tangible copy of these pictures, or whether the iPad is the new family album?

I hiked it on a rainy day.
|Follow the sign
Two weeks ago, I had a Friday off from work. Perfect time to visit Ramona Falls! Since this trail is very popular, I was stoked to tackle it on a weekday when it wouldn't be so crowded. As Friday neared, I checked the forecast. Why did it show those pesky rain clouds??? Ugh....
|Droopy waterlogged flowers
Would my Ramona Falls trip be foiled yet a third time? Thursday night, I hemmed and hawed, totally on the fence whether to go. Finally I decided, there is no perfect time to visit. If I wanted to see the falls, I'd better just bite the bullet and do it. So on Friday morning, I packed up my raingear, and plenty of plastic garbage bags, and pointed my car towards Mt. Hood.
|Sandy River's rocky banks
Ramona Falls is located on Mt. Hood's west flank. The path to the falls crosses a wide, bouldery Sandy River and then climbs through some very lovely fir and hemlock forests. Rhododendrons bloom in large numbers during early summer. A 7 mile loop and about 1000 feet of climbing make this moderate hike a very busy trail.
|Rainy blossoms
Through intermittent showers I traveled, until reaching the trailhead's large gravel parking lot. Only occupied by a handful of vehicles, the rain had obviously scared off most hikers. Although the skies were dry as I started down the trail, I wore my rain jacket and clutched an umbrella - the latter a last minute grab from my car. (A very wise move I'd find out later)
|Severe erosion on Sandy River's banks
In the beginning, the Ramona Falls Trail ambles through a forest of hemlock and alder. Bright yellow-green moss carpeted the forest floor. It wasn't long before the steep, bouldery bank of the Sandy River came into view.
The Sandy River originates from melting glaciers high on Mt. Hood. The water itself is very milky in color, due to fine glacial silt suspended in its currents. Heavy winter rains often cause huge amounts of water to scream down its channel, transporting large boulders and undermining the riverbanks. Most of the year, the Sandy is a large rocky outwash plain, with a small channel winding down it's middle.
|The very skimpy hiker bridge
My trail followed the top of the riverbank. The scenery here was quite dramatic. I passed by places where tree roots had been so severely undermined, the trees had toppled into the river. Everywhere carpets of moss dangled over the bank. Some of these steep slopes didn't look very stable, and I shied away from the edge.
After following the riverbank for a mile and a half, the trail took a bend, and crossed the river. I remembered that during summer months, the Forest Service installed a temporary bridge over the Sandy to enable hikers to cross. I was envisioning a nice sturdy, high log bridge. BUT when I reached the crossing area, I was disappointed to find the bridge was narrow and rickety. Worst of all, it didn't reach all the way across the Sandy's churning waters.
|Shiny wet blooms
It appeared as though I'd have to hop across the final quarter of the crossing distance. I was a bit nervous about rock-hopping on a very damp day. But as with most river crossings, they always look worse than they actually are. I jumped the bridge gap no problem. Climbing the steep bank up the other side, I was met with two surprises.
The first - RHODIES! Lovely pink rhododendron blooms were popping out everywhere. So bright and pretty, I whipped out my camera to get some shots. That's when surprise number two kicked in. It began to rain.
|The bushes were everywhere
Good thing I had my umbrella! I quickly popped that sucker up, and ducked myself and my camera underneath. Now protected, I was able to get some images of those wonderful raindrop-spangled rhodies.
|Forest accents
I meandered through rhodie alley, taking copious shots, and admiring the wet, uber-green forest. The umbrella worked wonderfully, keeping my head, shoulders and camera dry.
The trail I was following became the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) It paralleled the Sandy River here, on its way up to Timberline Lodge. Through gaps in the forest, I caught glimpses of the Sandy's steep, gravelly banks and churning waters. Although only a mile and a half in length, this path seemed to go on forever. It probably didn't help that it was also gradually uphill the entire way, which I know slowed down my pace.
|Ramona Falls peeks through the trees
But finally I began to hear rushing water. I came to a wooden stile, designed to keep horses out, and knew the falls were just beyond. Winding down the trail, I caught a sneak peek of Ramona Fall's sheer white curtain through the trees.
|Ramona Falls in its glory
There it was! At 120 feet in height this cascade stair-stepped across a rocky cliff, creating lovely water patterns. Ramona Falls reminded me of an elegant bridal gown, with numerous lacy trains.
|Cascade close-up
My tripod, which I'd carried the entire distance, decided to give me issues, so I spent most of the first 15 minutes dealing with that. About the time I got it to behave, the rain, which had quit for a short while, decided to come back for another visit.
So I ducked myself and my tripod under the umbrella and attempted to get some long exposures of the falls. I did manage to get a couple photos I liked, but most of them ended up being flops.
|Footbridge and falls
Cold, wet and hungry, I finally decided to throw in the towel. Putting my camera inside my backpack (the driest place at the moment) I gobbled down a quick P B & J, drank some hot tea, and admired the gorgeous waterfall before me.
|Charming Ramona Creek
After filling my belly, and donning another layer, I decided it was time to head back. Everything was beginning to get wet, and I wanted to protect my camera as much as possible. For the return trip, I decided to follow the Ramona Falls Trail and make this hike a loop.
|Gorgeous forest on the return trail
Best decision ever! The Ramona Falls Trail was a true delight. It followed lovely little Ramona Creek, as it wound through the mossy forest floor. Large ferns overhung it's banks, and huge lichen-draped douglas fir trees stood tall and proud above the trail. Everything was an uber-bright color of green. Scampering downhill, I occasionally stopped and admired the tiny white rapids that churned beside me.
|More rhodies - just because!
And....there were even more rhodies! I couldn't resist just a few more photos. I got my camera wet for these shots, but don't you think it was totally worth it?
|Droplet-spangled flowers
I ended up back at my car with most of my gear totally soaked. But I didn't care. I'd finally made it to Ramona Falls. And although the weather was less than ideal, I'd still had a great time. And I even managed to get a couple of good photos.
Moral of the story - conditions are never going to be perfect. Don't wait for the right moment - do it now. You'll be glad you did.

- The first four treatments have been a combination of Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide, followed by an injection of Neulasta to help me fight the white blood cell deficiency and strengthen my bone marrow and keep it healthy. This chemo treatment is very powerful but has lots of dangerous side effects. The FDA will only allow patients to have so much of it as it is also can be quite damaging to the heart.
- The next four chemotherapy treatments will be a drug called Taxol. It comes with its own set of side effects, mostly bone and muscle pain. Maybe I will get lucky and not experience this, just as I experienced very little nausea during the first four treatments.
- My next four treatments will mean longer days. Each day begins with about 90 minutes in the lab for blood tests, then a visit with Dr. Makhoul, and finally they administer the chemotherapy in the Infusion Center. Because the chemo I've been on only takes about 60 to 90 minutes to administer, most days I leave UAMS about 3:00 pm. However, the new treatment takes THREE HOURS to administer. I guess that means more reading materials and a stronger battery for my laptop.
21 April 2010
Four Down, Four More To Go
Tuesday marked chemo treatment #4. That means four down and four more to go before my surgery. My doctor continues to believe that I'm doing very well, responding to the chemotherapy. I just feel it in my bones that this is all going to end well, that in late 2010 or 2011 I will move myself into the "survivor" category. I hope to be just like Mom, who is out in California this week visiting with her forever friends from high school – Shirley, Jan and Marlis. Allyson and Anna-Lee like to call them "The Golden Girls." At age 74, they have seldom missed a year of spending a week together just enjoying life. They are my role models for girls having great fun!!
A few details from the day:
Dr. Makhoul has scheduled my next treatment for May 4th, AND I will also visit with my surgeon, Dr. Suzanne Klimberg. At that time we will discuss having my surgery in July. We are definitely making progress!!

Allyson just called me from Mizzou. Her question: "Is it your chemo brian, Mom? You need to read the first paragraph of this post. What year do you think it is?" How embarrassing. I've gone back four years in time. Ouch!ReplyDelete

District 2, Cumberland View
Community Muralist, Andee Rudloff was awarded $4,000 to engage with students from grades 2-4 at Robert Churchwell Museum Magnet Elementary School currently living in Cumberland View. Teachers at the school assisted in inspiring words and designs using a lesson plan developed by Rudloff, which was used to create a finished design. Funds covered artist fees and supplies and materials. The design was scaled and applied to a wall located centrally, yet prominently in Cumberland View. Students and their families were invited to paint the design featuring their drawings. All activities as well as the mural were free and open to the public.

MANILA Relatives of pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles, who had been indicted for allegedly conspiring to illegally transmit Philippine government funds worth USD20 million to the United States, can be extradited provided that they are not facing charges in the country, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Thursday.
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said they are now checking with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) on whether Napoles' relatives who are named in the money laundering complaint are still in the country.
Those (indicted Napoles kin) who are here and not facing charges in Philippine courts may be the subject of a request for extradition; those who are in the US may be immediately arrested, Guevarra said in text message to reporters.
We shall continue to extend legal assistance to our US counterparts, including the possible extradition of certain persons who might be found here, he added.
On Tuesday, the US Department of Justice said Napoles, her children Jo Christine, James Christopher and Jeane, brother Reynald Lim and his wife Ana, were indicted for money laundering and conspiracy.
American prosecutors said the money was used to purchase assets in the US, including property and luxury vehicles.
Guevarra, however, stressed that the cases against Napoles in the Philippines would have to be settled first before she can be extradited to the US.
Although we cannot extradite Napoles until her cases in Philippine courts have been terminated, the DOJ will extend all assistance to its US counterpart in prosecuting the money laundering cases, and in ensuring the people's money is returned in due time to our national treasury, he added.
The Justice Department has yet to receive a copy of the formal indictment from its American counterpart.
From what I know, there is a separate case for civil forfeiture in the US that will trigger the return of the laundered money to the Philippines. However, that forfeiture case will have to await the outcome of the money laundering and other fraud cases against Napoles and her family, Guevarra said.
He added that two options are available concerning Napoles' possible extradition to the US: (1) defer extradition proceedings until the Philippine case is terminated and/or she has served her sentence; or (2) temporarily surrender her to the requesting state so that she may be prosecuted there, subject to terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the Philippines and the US.
The US has to file a formal request for the Philippine justice department to commence extradition proceedings in a domestic court, which will then determine whether Napoles is extraditable.
Napoles is being accused of creating bogus non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or the so-called Napoles NGOs that connived with politicians and government officials in the country in a scam involving the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) or pork barrel fund. Politicians and lawmakers allegedly got kickbacks from the scam.
Former senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr., their staff and several other politicians and government officials have been tagged in the scam.
Napoles is currently detained at a detention facility in Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City, after a legal intervention of Solicitor General Jose Calida paved the way for her acquittal by the Court of Appeals in May last year.
She spent only two years at the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City following a guilty verdict meted out to her by a Makati City judge for the serious illegal detention of her cousin Benhur Luy, the primary whistleblower in the scam.
Napoles has previously filed several petitions before the Supreme Court seeking to stop her indictment in the PDAF cases, but these were all dismissed.

Snuggle up in the Snug...
11 comments:
Not a snug exactly, but a small 2nd floor sunroom, off the bedroom. Once the sun comes in it is so warm and cozy I can forget about this never ending Canadian winter (-17 today)ReplyDelete
I love the bottom right picture, looks so cosy! :) xReplyDelete
Bizarrely,the bottomright pic is kind of how I want my fireplace to look. We are searching for an old piece of wood at the moment, like the one in the picture. We have our wood burning stove, but it is not installed yet. The fireplace will be in our living room. It will be open plan, not a snug as such, although I love those cosy rooms. Are you going for any wallpaper. I am currntly debating whether to or to have bare walls and if so what coloir. Ah decisions decisions. Loving your ideas,
Oh yes, My favorite site in my home is the couchReplyDelete
Hi hun!ReplyDelete

I can easily relate to all the stories you are writing about at the moment as i am going through the same process of doing up a new house. Tiring but so exciting. It's like a renewal! DeeBeeReplyDelete
We don't have a snug. I like the bottom right hand picture the best.ReplyDelete
Just to change the subject you are on my Stylish Blogger Award list www.sillyoldbearcrafts.blogspot.com
oh, Exciting times for you, enjoy.ReplyDelete
I had a fireplace like the one on the bottom right in a previous house - loved it
i'm pointing to the bottom right photo too!ReplyDelete
I love them all, theres nothing more inviting than a fireplace on a cold day. I love the use of the clocks as a feature in your favourite pic!!!ReplyDelete
In these long dark Irish winters there is nothing as lovely as having a wood burning stove and a comfy couch in front of it! Have to say I love the top two photos here, they're just so pretty :) I envy you decorating your own home! I'm getting tired of renting apartments, have a yearning for my own little nest to decorate.ReplyDelete

Never Not Slightly Comical
Thomas Jones
- Odysseus Abroad by Amit Chaudhuri
Oneworld, 243 pp, £12.99, February 2015, ISBN 978 1 78074 621 0
The meanings that the word abroad has accumulated since it was first used to mean 'widely scattered' include: 'out of one's house' (Middle English), 'out of one's native land' (late Middle English), 'at large, freely moving about' (late 15th century) and 'confused, dazed, astray, wide of the mark' (early 19th century). All of them are present in the title of Amit Chaudhuri's intelligent and funny new novel, which follows a young Bengali man and his uncle on their uneventful wanderings around London on a mid-1980s summer's day. Homer and Joyce are clearly present, too, but Ananda isn't impressed by Homer, 'noting that the "rosy-fingered dawn" recurred without volition, like a traffic light, every few pages of the Iliad, and, with greater fascination – salivating, even, because he was often hungry – how the soldiers feasted on pork "singed in its own fat" at regular intervals.' He once got a kebab from a Greek takeaway on Charlotte Street: 'It was odd how quickly the meat became cold and lumpy: masticated chunks settled in his stomach, allaying the restive juices. He wondered if the food at the takeaway was below par, or whether Homer had overrated the soldiers' repasts.' As for the Odyssey, 'he hadn't bothered to read' it, though Chaudhuri clearly has.
There may be much that is autobiographical in the novel: Chaudhuri, like his Telemachus/Stephen Dedalus figure, was a student in London in the 1980s. But there's enough distance for the writer to see the character with a balance of ironic detachment and generosity. Any portrait of the artist as a young man runs the risk of either taking its subject too seriously or ridiculing him too mercilessly; Chaudhuri steers a careful middle course. (Scylla and Charybdis? If you like. The other approach is to do both, remorselessly, so they cancel each other out. That's the tack taken by Coetzee in Youth,[*] another downbeat, virtuoso account of a young man from a former British colony abroad, in every sense, in London.)
There is no dawn, rosy-fingered or otherwise, in Odysseus Abroad. 'He got up at around nine o'clock with the usual feeling of dread,' the novel begins. Twenty-two years old, an undergraduate in the UCL English Department, Ananda lives in a bedsit on Warren Street. Lonely and adrift in Bloomsbury, he writes poems, sings ragas, eats Chinese takeaway food, takes indigestion tablets, masturbates. He never gets enough sleep, because he keeps to a different timetable from the other people who live in the house. The title of the first chapter compares his neighbours to Penelope's suitors. The Patel brothers upstairs, who have come to London to study management, start listening to 'a new kind of music called "rap"' late at night; the young woman downstairs would 'come home at three in the morning, shut the door with a bang, turn on cheery music. She told him that she did her aerobic exercises at that hour.' He complains about the rap and the cheery music; they complain about his singing in the morning. None of them changes their habits.

The country is aiming to achieve upto 10% of additional installed capacity to be set up till 2012 to come from renewable energy sources.
On July 5, 2014, the organisation conducted "RE:Energise " a state-level seminar on renewable energy; opportunities and challenges. After a warm address by SKC Director Rev. Dr. Franklin Menezes, the chief Guest, Ms. Rosemarie Hille, (Deputy Consul, German Consulate Kolkata) shared her country's views and achievements towards transforming to clean, renewable energy. Germany's Energiewende (energy transformation), as this plan is known as, is to shift from nuclear and fossil fuels to renewables. Conceived as early as in the eighties, it became policy in 2000.
With 2011 Fukushima disaster, German chancellor Angela Merkel, scrapped nuclear power extension and closed seven reactors. Germany must – and hopefully, will, now meet its green energy goals with renewable alone. Greenhouse-gas emissions are to be cut from 1990 levels by 40% by 2020 and by 80% by 2050. Delinking economic growth from energy consumption will be a key to the success of this transformation.
Dr. Ghosh also stressed the importance of micro hydel along with solar, as the answer to India's need for energy. While micro hydel projects had far less environmental impact and human displacement than mega projects, it is also more efficient. Grid linked solar was another the way to go, as it could also do away with the need to store energy locally. The Government should also amend the law to make solar roofs mandatory for new buildings, felt Ghosh.
The professor also gives some other interesting facts – renewables have already surpassed nuclear in terms of installations! And in a populous country like ours, solar employed 17 persons against 5 in a thermal electricity plant – a good thing. Post lunch there were presentations by industry players, such as Mr. Subhendu Roy of Vikram Proener Projects, and Saikat Roy Choudhury, Director at GPTronics Private Limited. Both lead companies which are players in the solar sector.
Mr. Sujan Pandit of WBREDA spoke on current and predicted trends in Solar PV development and economic prospects of the same. Dr. Salil Kumar Sahoo, a scientist from Vivekananda Institute of Biotechnology, SRAN, spoke on the innovations in bio gas and other alternatives his institute has successfully worked on, while working to develop an innovative model of energy service for the people of the Sundarbans, in West Bengal.
Seva Kendra Calcutta will also be inaugurating their water harvesting system on July 12, at the same campus. Rainwater claimed will be used for all the needs of a pavilion there.
