Forget me Not Spotlight Synopsis Lily had a crush on her brother's best friend, Derek for years - which led to their steamy night ten months ago in her bedroom. Now, Lily is going off to college and she and Derek are still going strong. However, when school starts, she realizes it's hard to maintain a relationship while also trying to live her own life. She and Derek find themselves falling apart and Lily has no idea where to turn. Enter Jack. Everything about him is wrong for Lily and she knows it, but she can't stop herself from being attracted to him. When things implode with Derek, it's Jack who is there to pick up the pieces - and show Lily an entirely new set of experiences she didn't know she was missing. Of course, Jack has his own problems and once Lily gets to know him better, she starts to wonder if she can handle all of Jack. When Derek reappears on the scene, Lily is forced to decide between two guys and herself. Can she find herself without losing the people who matter in the process? **New Adult Contemporary Romance. Due to language & sexual content, this book is recommended for readers 17 & older** Meet the Author Sarah Daltry writes erotica and romance. She's never happy staying in one place. Sarah spent a lot of time in school between college and nearly eight full years of grad school. One of these days, she’s convinced she will make some use of all those impractical classes. When she isn't writing, she's usually looking for new and creative ways to waste time. Right now, those include shooting virtual monsters on Xbox, searching the internet for cat pictures, and watching terrible reality TV.

An important first!

Well, "mommy" has been having shopping withdrawals - I haven't been anywhere other than the hospital and my parents' house since last Friday! So, we decided to beg G'pa to drive us to Walmart today (only a half hour away - I was desperate for civilization.) I took pictures to document this important event in Sweet Pea's life - her first shopping trip! She wasn't as excited about it as I was - she slept the whole time!

3D Fiberglass Woven Fabrics (Sandwich Structure Fabrics)
3-D spacer fabric construction is a newly developed concept. The fabric surfaces are strongly connected to each other by the vertical pile fibers which are interwoven with the skins. Therefore, the 3-D spacer fabric can provide good skin-core debonding resistance, excellent durability and superior integrity. In addition, the interstitial space of the construction can be filled up with foams to provide synergistic support with vertical piles. These products have broad application prospects in automobile, Locomotives, aerospace, marine, windmills, building and other industries.
Product Characteristics
The 3-D spacer fabric consists of two bi-directional woven fabric surfaces, which are mechanically connected with vertical woven piles. And two S-shaped piles combine to form a pillar, 8-shaped in the warp direction and 1-shaped in the weft direction.
The 3-D spacer fabric can be made of glass fiber, carbon fiber or basalt fiber. Also their hybrid fabrics can be produced.
The range of the pillar height: 3-50 mm, the range of the width: ≤ 3000 mm.
The designs of structure parameters including the areal density, the height and distribution density of the pillars are flexible.
The 3-D spacer fabric composites can provide high skin-core debonding resistance and impact resistance and impact resistance, light weight. High stiffness, excellent thermal insulation, acoustic damping, and so on.

The 2011 Masters Golf Tournament Broadcasted Online in 3D

April 8th, 2011 · 6 Comments · General 3D News

Last year’s Masters Golf Tournament has been broadcasted in 3D online and apparently they’ve decided to do it again this year, they’ve already started on 6th this month actually, but you still have the time to catch up until the last broadcast in Sunday. The video stream is in Windows Media format and the 3Dvideo is packed in Over/Under format, so you should be able to play it on a 3D-capable desktop PC or a 3D laptop directly, or even from a normal computer to a 3D HDTV if you have one.

The 3D coverage will be available during the following windows:

Wednesday 6 April 2011: 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Thursday 7 April 2011: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Friday 8 April 2011: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Saturday 9 April 2011: 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Sunday 10 April 2011: 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

And although the golf may not be the best sport that everyone likes, at least outside of the US, it is still something that you can check out of sheer curiosity just to see how the 3D works with sports broadcasts. I know I’ll be doing just that as I’m not that big fan of Golf, but I can say that I’ve played some and that I’m not very bad at it actually, so with some more time and training… who knows.

Here is the URL you need to open in the 3D Vision Video Player, the Stereoscopic Player or any other compatible with the MMS streaming protocol player in order to get the streaming 3D video content from the 2011 Masters Golf Tournament:

And you are of course welcome to share your feedback in the comments below, is it working for you, how well does it work, do you like what you see, what do you think about sports in 3D in general and golf in 3D more specifically and so on…

    The timezone seems to be EDT.

  • 3 StarKnight // Apr 8, 2011 at 13:27

    Will it be available for all countries or only for US people ?

  • 4 Bloody // Apr 8, 2011 at 13:52

    Yes, the timezone is EDT, so depending on where you live you may need to do some adjustment to fit in the live broadcast windows…

  • 5 StarKnight // Apr 9, 2011 at 00:24

    I’m watching it now and the quality is fine. It is not HD but compression is good and the 3D effect is also nice.

Summer Rhythm

Summer Rhythm

I’ve been thinking about it since last week but finally today I made a decision about our summer rhythm.  This may not seem like a big deal but without it, a plan that we can work towards, things tend to go badly around here.

We didn’t have a great start to our day today and that was the crunch moment, how are our days going to go so that we all know what to expect and we can avoid some of the arguments that seem to be springing up around every day stuff?  I hate the feeling of scratchiness that comes when we are all floating a bit aimlessly, none of us know what to expect so we all argue and complain at each other.  I’ve been mulling this over for the last week or so but today the time for action had come, no more dillydallying missy.  I explained our new ‘schedule’ to Huwyl and honestly his face went from angry sad boy to beaming boy.  He even said “Do you see how my face is shining now?” and I did.

So for anyone who would like to know what we are (mostly) going to be up to around these parts, here it is:

Yoga (I’ve been using the Yoga kids book and really enjoying it)

Morning song and shared stories

Free play

Morning activity (today that was baking bread)

Free play

Table work – this covers any written or structured project that we are working on as part of homeschool.  I’ve decided to simply continue on with our school throughout the summer as the general idea is that it really isn’t too onerous and it gives us a sense of flexibility about how much work we do during the year.  It also helps us to have a clear structure to our days, which we seem to need.  Our school week is basically 3 days long as we meet with our homeschool group on a Friday and we are currently doing a story telling workshop on a Monday morning.

Free play

Quiet time (in separate rooms so that Mummy gets quiet time too)

Art or craft project

Outside time – most days this will be swimming unless the weather is too cool as we are members of a local club this year

Dinner prep (playing on the deck or some tv time for the boys)

Free play/Clean up (guess who’ll be doing what)

Daddy home at about 6.30

As I write this we are half way through our day and having quiet time.  It is a sweltering day and having the chance for a little down time is utter bliss and much needed.  I’ve started to realise that I’ve been feeling pretty fried (mentally and physically with the increasing heat) and need to build in some breaks in our day.  I know that having a strategy for the day won’t resolve all the day to day issues of having kids around 24/7, we get grumpy with each other, they fight, I lose my patience etc etc

But I do think this gives us a chance of having a good and productive day every day.  I’m already starting to plan out what cooking projects we can do in the mornings (tomorrow rhubarb compote and maybe muffins) and looking at The Artful Parent and others for art and crafts ideas (I’ll be popping the links on Pinterest if anyone is looking for similar things to do).

Honestly I do wish that we could just drift happily through our day in a magical haze but that isn’t our reality.  When we have a plan, when I can look at our day and say ‘this is what we achieved’ I feel altogether more positive and am inclined to forget the yucky bits.  When I think “today we made bread together, we completed a lesson in All About Spelling, we practiced handwriting and we did some water colour painting” I feel good.  Maybe I’m an overachiever but I’m at peace with that, especially when I see how much better the boys do when they know what to expect.

Our rhythm will have to change again once the build is in full swing and we begin to take our first steps along the road of hobby farming but I’m sure we can work it out.  Plus spending time on our land takes care of Physical Education, Nature Study, Science and Outside Time – that’s a lot of ticks!

As I write this, decompressing slowly from a busy and slightly tense morning, I am beginning to remember what is great about our day.  I am remembering how lucky I am, how much I like my two crazy, challenging, beautiful boys and that I’m looking forward to our full afternoon.

But not yet.  Not quite yet.

11 thoughts on “Summer Rhythm

  1. Thank you for sharing, you write so beautifully. We actually got around to this last week where we sketched out a quick guideline to what when and on which days. Hope you are better at sticking to it than me. 🙂

    1. You are a sweetie pie : ) Sorry we didn’t make it out on Monday, we got caught in the horrid traffic works and ended up being just too late and nowhere to park! Next week for sure.

  2. Like you I like to have a plan, I guess I’m an overachiever too! Nothing I like better than my own little debriefing at the end of the day, when I can say to myself: ‘Ive done this, we’ve done that, improved this and enjoyed that!’

    1. Plans are good! I love doing a mental debrief too, just so satisfying! Nothing better than knowing our day has been purposeful. I’m glad I’m not the only crazy mama who does this!

  3. I know my son would beam, too if we had a rhythm he could count on. It’s actually Mama that can’t seem to make it happen. But, I know that’s what we must find if we are to live together harmoniously. Thanks for getting us started!

    1. Rain, I certainly hear you! I am trying to really back myself into a corner and make it all ‘formal’ so that I can’t flake out on it! I know how much it improves things and yet I still really struggle. I will keep you posted on how we get on in practice!

  4. sounds like a good plan! we homeschool through the summer as well albeit a lighter load. it works really well for our family, gives us all the sense of structure and routine we need. wishing you much luck and happiness with your new schedule!

    1. Thanks Amanda, I’m hoping it really helps things and keeps the potential for misery to a minimum! I was going to stop school for the break and I suddenly thought – what will we do instead? That’s when it made sense to just carry on. We’ve been very ‘flexible’ during the year and Huwyl is still young but there are certain targets I’d like to achieve. Plus I love teaching him so for me it really isn’t a chore! It’s interesting to hear about what other families are up to : )

  5. Oh this is such a great post. You are a great mama to plan this all out. I agree that Rhythm is so important. We’ve been without it for about two months, and now that the kids are starting to their stability back, they are doing better. I also feel like I can work with them on things like manners & cleanliness, things I would often brush aside when we were on the go.

    1. Erin I don’t feel like I deserve your praise! Really our rhythm is being created out of a desire to stop tensions in the house, I should have done it a while ago! I’m hoping it helps us all to feel calmer though. Huwyl has already suggested an amendment so we’ll have to see how it all goes!

Jason Aldean‘s fifth studio album hasn’t hit shelves yet, but it’s already off to a racing start. The upcoming record’s lead single, ‘Take a Little Ride’ debuted at No. 19 on the country chart, making it Aldean’s highest debuting single to date. And the rocking country star’s accomplishments don’t end there: Billboard predicts that the single’s brisk sales will make history as the biggest debut ever for a digital song by a male country artist.

“I am honestly just blown away,” said Aldean.  “I had a whole year of ‘firsts’ last year … things like my first arena tour selling out and taking home my first CMA awards, but I still feel like I’ve got a long way to go, so having two more ‘firsts’ come this week is really exciting for me.  I love this single, and there are 14 more songs that I’m really proud of coming right behind it!”

Download projections for ‘Take a Little Ride’ are approaching 200,000 for Wednesday’s chart. Although Aldean is blown away by the single’s success, fans aren’t shocked to see his latest single performing well on the charts. The popular country artist has been selling tickets to his My Kinda Party tour like hotcakes. Aldean has sold out every date on the show so far, including his first ever stadium sell-out show in Columbus, Ohio.

Tickets are going so fast that over the weekend it only took 30 seconds to sell out the 20,000 seat Blossom Music Center in Cleveland (9/7) and just four minutes to move 20,000 tickets at Dallas’ Gexa Energy Pavilion (10/27).  Last week, Aldean fans snatched up more than 44,000 tickets in four minutes for his St. Louis (9/14) and Indianapolis (9/15) shows.

If Aldean keeps rising up the charts, he might just become the next king of country music. Click here to stay up-to-date on the country star’s future performances.

Sunrises, sunsets... and More Horse Feed...

*Sunrise over the Chiricahaus*

A couple of folks made comments on feed for the road on the last post...

There's lots of issues dealing with horses on the road. The two most critical, to my mind being feed and water. Throwing curves at horses concerning those two things will flow out and cause a nomad unwanted difficulties.

Stability/consistency with feed is a pretty strong need. Change their groceries sudden like and the incidence of colic and other troubles goes up fast. On top of that, the need to control the spread of noxious weeds is something a responsible horseman needs to keep in mind.

A huge amount of graze is lost every year to the spread of inedible or even poisonous invasive weeds.

So... like Karen said, there are sites where certified hay producers are listed. My trouble with the hay has mostly been the nearest producer that actually has some left in his barn always seems to be a hundred miles away...

The option, like Stymie mentioned is Hay Pellets.

*Moonrise the night before over the same Chiricahua Mountains*

Right there is a big 'cultural' issue with many horsemen, that I tee totally get. I'm not one who is much for gimmicks and gadgets. I like old time ways... right up to that point when some modern creation actually is an improvement.

I fed pellets, years ago in Arizona. It was, and to large degree is still the only way you could reliably get good quality feed on the desert. A heavy % of the hay in Arizona is grown for dairies. Results in some pretty nasty forage if you try and feed that to horses.

Over time I learned there are a great number of advantages to pellets... Simply said, all things considered, hay pellets whup long stem hay pretty much on every count.

Straight off horses fed pellets have a significant reduction in the incidence of sand colic and also founder. Horses eating hay off the ground tend to suck up a lot of sand in the process, pellets pretty much eliminate that. Founder is reduced by the better nutrient 'balance' that is built into most pellets. There is a reduction in starch in many brands that contributes to a reduction of founder.

For the traveling horseman a HUGE benefit is the reduced space required. Pellets occupy about 1/2 the space required for the same weight of baled hay. In the tight confines of a trailer... A BIG plus!

...and That is a giant Convenience upgrade. Life being as tough as it needs to be all on its own, finding ways to soften the road is a valuable plus.

 With my setup, the side compartment divided up into a pair of feed bins and two four foot boxes on the truck I can carry just about a full month of groceries for two horses... and No need for a high dollar roof rack for half as much hay...

... and the PITA of getting bales up there... and the feed back down twice a day... or ... more!

Some folks complain that pellets lead to boredom... Yeah? well... a hay eating horse that's left standing in a stall 24/7 is about six minutes less bored... and truth is, it's far easier with hay pellets to break the days feeding up from the standard twice a day... to the FOUR feeds a day that I use.

Best way to deal with boredom is... put your phone down and saddle 'em up...

Feeding as I do not only breaks up the horses day, but it puts the feed to him in a more natural volume spread across the day, rather than the heavy slugs loading up their guts of the same weight in a twice a day regime. Result? = less boredom and even greater reduction of colic and founder.

Some complain about the cost of pellets... I'd say sit down and do some calculatin'. By the time you factor in the waste reduction ( horses eat all the pellets - not shoving stems away or dropping as much as 25% on the ground as they eat to be walked into the dirt and lost.), the feed efficiency (my experience has been that a significant reduction in weight is fed due to the grinding of the feed to smaller pieces to pelletize resulting in better feed conversion), the absolute convenience, consistency and reliability of the feed all shined up by far less worry of colic... I kinda see them as cheaper, not more expensive.

The last plus ( and a big one for those like me that like to stay out in Far Country) is that although only a few brands of pellets have gone through the certification process, the Forest Service accepts (again, in my experience) most all pellets as weed free for their purposes due to the manufacturing process that destroys the vast majority, something over 98% of viable weed seeds. Pretty much equal to any certification process of baled hays.

Yep... I'm a firm believer in the benefits of feeding pellets.

*The Dragoon Mountains under a soft sunset*

Time to get back to work, spring comes fast... need to get back to forming up the battery box for my battery bank upgrade, keep on tinkering with the stone for that cistern project... and... I need to decide if  enough time has passed to check on how my Cora is doing... Trying hard to not to be a pestering owner with the guy ;)

Trullo: The Cookbook & a recipe for Mussel Fritti

When Trullo opened on an unpromising stretch of road in Islington in 2010, the area had a fairly lacklustre dining scene. Upper Street was dominated by chains and although there were good places to eat in the borough: the Duke of Cambridge organic pub, Au Lac Vietnamese in Highbury, the French Conran restaurant Almeida, there weren’t really enough of them. The chef Tim Siadatan, who was one of Jamie Oliver’s original trainees, set to change that with Trullo. This was a different beast, using British ingredients to make simple and brilliantly executed Italian dishes. The pappardelle with beef shin ragu fairly quickly became a classic to the extent that the restaurant takes it off their menu at their peril. We also have an enormous soft spot for their pudding list – it’s the kind of restaurant where you’ll want all of your party to have something sweet to finish so that you can eat your way through the whole list!

We can’t go to Trullo quite as often as we would wish, however, so are delighted that Siadatan has now distilled all his wisdom into a cookbook. This is a gentle, undaunting book of crowd-pleasing recipes. Nigel Slater, no less, has said ‘This is the book I’ve been waiting for.’ If you’re still unconvinced, here’s a recipe from the antipasti section for mussel fritti, or ‘popcorn of the sea’ as Siadatan calls it. Serve with aioli and a cold beer and imagine you’re in Italia.

Mussel fritti

Serves 4

about 50 mussels, cleaned (or ask your fishmonger to clean them
for you)
a glug of olive oil
125ml white wine
300g plain flour, sifted
300g semolina
1.2 litres groundnut oil
16 flat-leaf parsley leaves
lemon wedges, for serving
fine sea salt

To clean the mussels, rinse them under cold water, scrape off any dirt, pull
off the ‘beards’, and discard any mussels that are open once tapped or have
broken shells.

Heat a pan big enough to hold all the mussels on a high heat and add some
olive oil, followed quickly by the mussels and white wine. Give the pan a shake
and put a lid on, and cook for 3–5 minutes until the mussels have opened.

Transfer onto a tray (retain the cooking liquid) and allow to cool.
When cool, pick the mussels out of their shells, discarding any closed ones.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve, then leave the mussels submerged
in the liquid.

Get your pane ingredients ready: sifted plain flour, mussel cooking liquid and
semolina. Fish out the mussels with a slotted spoon, then, working in batches,
roll them in flour, dip back into the mussel juice then roll them in semolina.
Heat the groundnut oil to 180˚C (or throw a breadcrumb in – when it sizzles
and turns golden you’re ready to go). Working in two batches, deep-fry the
mussels for 2 minutes, then add the parsley for 10 seconds (stand back, it
spits!). Transfer to a bowl lined with kitchen paper and season with fine sea salt.

Serve with a wedge of lemon for squeezing.

Aapo Alinikula
Musician | Composer | Arranger

About Me

I am a guitarist and music educator based in Helsinki, Finland. Proficient in most styles of popular music, I perform, record and teach everything ranging from jazz, blues and funk to pop and rock. I also compose and arrange original instrumental music for my own group.

Born and raised in Finland, I received my formal music training at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where I studied performance and composition with, among others, Jack Pezanelli, Jon Damian, Rick Peckham and Ayn Inserto. Additionally, I have played and studied with artists such as Alain Mallet, Lin Biviano, Marcello Pellitteri, Mika Pohjola, Bob Pilkington and Jake Hertzog.

I have worked as a sideman- and bandleader on festival stages, in theater productions and studio recording sessions, playing with everything ranging from big bands to small ensembles. Awards and accolades include an academic scholarship awarded to me by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.

I play guitar in a variety of different line-ups that can be customized for events and ceremonies of all kinds:

  • My group Aapo Alinikula Elements performs my original compositions and arrangements of assorted jazz standards
  • Cover bands for all wedding and party purposes
  • Acoustic duo line-ups, for example guitar & vocal or guitar & saxophone, for smaller events as a stand-alone performance or as background music
  • Jazz combos: trio-, quartet- or quintet line-ups

Good music rehearsed and performed with quality and detail helps make your event special. Contact me for booking requests.

I have studied with some of the world’s most renowned jazz educators during my time at Berklee College of Music. In my private guitar- and music theory lessons I share the concepts and exercises passed on to me by my peers and teachers.

Guitar lessons focus on teaching fundamental techniques for performing music well, regardless of genre. I am a firm believer in that all well-executed music is good, this means developing good tone and time and a comprehensive understanding of the instrument. Other areas of study include sight-reading, transcribing, arranging, composing, as well as breaking down basic music theory.

Every lesson is designed individually based on the needs of the student. They can be done in person or by video call. Contact me to schedule your first lesson.

Common Sunstar

A family walk this morning between Druridge and East Chevington was intended to see if there were a few birds about but heavy rain meant little birdwatching this morning. These days I'm always looking down to the ground and I had noticed a rough sea and the tideline strewn with seaweed and razorshells. My wife and daughter had noticed a dead starfish which turned out to be a Common Sunstar (Crossaster papposus), the first time I have seen a one. A quick google when I got back and the species is common around our shores particularly in the North west. It is a Northern species, circumpolar and is found from the Arctic to the English channel. Smaller ones are sometimes found in rock pools and are commonly seen by divers. They are omnivorous and feed on their own kind and swallow them whole and are also scavengers. This was about 34cm across which is the maximum size they grow to, they usually have 8-10 legs, rarely 10-13 but the one above clearly has 14 legs. It looks a bit like a ships wheel but reminds me of the cover of Lal and Mike Waterson's album 'Bright Phoebus.'

Spurge Laurel

In the Flora of Northumberland, Swan describes Spurge Laurel (Daphne laureola) as scarce in the county. There are some naturalised plants but he believes the ones found in the Wansbeck valley are native. I wonder if this refers to the above plants growing on the steep North banks of the River Wansbeck at Scotch Ghyll woods. They are easy to look for at this time of year as they are evergreen and are in flower now until April.

Friday, 20 January 2012

Borough Woods

A walk through the Borough woods is quite productive with regular woodland species. There are large flocks of birds mainly Long tailed, Coal, Blue and Great Tits but among them are Goldcrests, Nuthatches, Treecreepers and Marsh Tit. Great Spotted Woodpeckers are drumming and Jays are very vocal. The days of seeing Red Squirrels here are gone, before 2009 you would still see a few but on Tuesday I saw 7 Greys in different places in the woods. There are species of fungi still to be found but some are difficult to identify. The top one is possibly a mature specimen of Collybia erythropus but I cannot identify the second one. The third pic is Beech Woodwart and then some unusual growth on a dead Oak stump. The winter is still relatively mild even though we have had some cold spells and several species are in flower like the Pineapple Mayweed.

Fresh Morpeth morning

Frozen River Wansbeck

Pity that fence post was in the way

That white rump stood out a long distance away

A fresh walk around Morpeth this morning turned out to be a bit of a mammal watch. Walking down towards the Abbey there was a Roe Deer in the field but it was too quick for the camera. The river was still frozen in parts this morning but milder weather is on the way but I was heading for Cottingwood common where I saw a Barn owl the other night. Thinking there might be a Short eared or something I thought it was worth a look. No Owls but 2 kestrels and lots of the usual woodland edge birds such as Bullfinch and Siskin. I saw no fewer than 6 Roe Deer here and a Fox carrying some small prey but all except the above were too fast to get a shot with the camera, even that one was a good couple of hundred yards away.

Winter Polypore

Sometimes you can look too hard for certain species. I found this Winter Polypore (Polyporus brunalis) growing on an old fallen mossy oak branch just a couple of hundred yards from my house, a species I have searched the local woodland for.

Above are Spindleshank and Velvet shank commonly found in deciduous woodland at this time of year. At the turn of the year some bird species are consistent as the Tawny Owls have gone quiet and Song Thrushes have been singing in the garden since the 4th. Yesterday a Great spotted Woodpecker was drumming in the Borough woods. Lots of birds in the Borough woods with large numbers of Great tits, among them 5 Nuthatches and 3 Treecreepers. The only Squirrel sighting has been of a Grey.

Norfolk or Caucasian?

Came across some Comfrey plants growing close to the riverbank at Low Stanners, Morpeth. With the flowers Azure blue and the sepals divided less than half way I knew it wasn't Russian Comfrey which is familiar along our waysides these days. I thought perhaps it was Caucasian Comfrey a naturalised plant that is found in some parts of the country and sent a pic to the county recorder. He has sent it to Clare O'Reilly, an ecologist from Haltwhistle who thinks it maybe Caucasian or Norfolk Comfrey but will need an uprooted whole plant in May/June to analyse. So I''ll have to wait a few months to find it's true identity. Whatever it turns out to be or where it originated from it is a good local find.

East Stobswood

Yesterday afternoon I called in at East Stobswood to see if the Geese were there but there was only a large flock of Common Gulls. I had a walk around the tip and as it was late afternoon I thought there might be some Short eared Owl activity but there wasn't. As it was mild there were very few birds here other than Jay and a single Snipe. There must be plenty of small rodents here as there were 7 Kestrels and a Buzzard hunting the open grassy areas. As the light was failing 2 large flocks of Geese flew towards East Stobswood to roost, one from the North and the other from the East. I drove around and there was just enough light left to put the  scope on them. The birds from the North were all Canadas with nearly 400 of them, the other flock were nearly all Pink footed Geese, over 700 with 2 White fronted and 2 Barnacles.

Tuesday, 3 January 2012

I was reading other bloggers resolutions for the new year and I have decided to eat more chocolate and drink more wine. I do need to post more often though. I was at Hauxley on new years day seeing a good variety of waders and a nice flock of Tree sparrows. Its been blustery in Morpeth, there are 2 drake Goosanders on the river at Oldgate and I have noticed many plants in flower. On the woodland floor the wild Garlic is coming through and there was Lesser celandine in flower at Deuchar park. I hope this is the first of many posts.

Understanding The Concept Of Things We Cannot See

When we look at a light bulb burning we cannot see the electricity at work. Yet we believe the underlying concept. When sending a fax or email information is transmitted almost immediately. Much of life functions is this way, where something tangible cannot be grasped and fully understood. On a similar note we question the invocations and supplications of prayer and other spiritual actions.

Man has yet to discover so much more in the field of science and discovery. On a very metaphysical level , the concepts of intuition and sixth sense comes into play. We can feel something strongly

but cannot explain it fully.On a similar note we pray to God, we sometimes wonder how the message gets through, finding its way through the entire cosmic entity.

When we love someone strongly, there is no particular reason attached to this love and attraction, but just a notion of love , not knowing why. If this was not the case, then we would all be attracted to and in love with everyone on this planet.

A difficult subject to explain fully. The magnetic focus , of lenses of the eye, upon which the idea of a camera is based. We can see and enjoy the beauty of sight, yet no one can tell how this came about and why?

These incidences highlight a very important fact, that we are not here by some accident. Much of actions and happenings can be accounted to free will, leaving destiny out of the picture completely.

But then again major factors affecting a persons life, cannot be accounted to only free will alone. Births, deaths, paths in life somehow point in the direction of destiny at play.

So many different views to the same subjects and man can argue till he turns blue in the face. The answers, still to be discovered, will leave the concepts open to many different discussions. In most instances we are trained what to believe and what not to believe.

If thought and contemplation takes place on an individual level, without a sense of general guidance, chaos will become the order of this world.

However much we refute or deny the origin and existence of the unknown, it is still there for contemplation and mans experiment. The day folds into night without pressing a button, but happens in synchronized harmony. The sun fades away to be only replaced by the moon. Yet both entities provide physical light, only at different points of the time cycle. We don’t wake up at night to find the sun shining in all its glory.

An interesting point to ponder and reflect on. The point being made here is, everything does not have to be tangible and visible to the naked eye in order to be understood or be in existence.

atheism, the new religion

In the last couple of months, I've listened to interviews with controversial atheists Sam Harris (once) and Richard Dawkins (twice), and also read the recent column Mr. Harris syndicated nationally. I haven't read their books, though I do plan on reading The End of Faith, which has been sitting on my shelf for a year now. I'm mainly responding to Harris. Richard Dawkins strikes me as someone who enjoys fanning the flames, being at the center of a storm of controversy -- someone who relishes stirring things up. I just don't have a lot of energy for that. His arguments seem to me to be as much about getting his fifteen minutes of fame as anything else. But while that element is present in Mr. Harris's arguments, I find them much more interesting and thought provoking.

At the heart of both Mr. Harris's and Mr. Dawkins' argument is a firm belief that fundamentalism is the true face of religious belief. Mr. Harris mostly pokes fun at religious moderates; he claims that theologically they are on shaky ground compared to their fundamentalist counterparts. Mr. Dawkins claims that religious moderates make extremism possible, by mainstreaming religious beliefs that are centuries out of date. But who says? They have no way to back that up, it's just their opinion about the religious experience. And it has the added bonus of making their argument 100% easier-- then they only have to respond to the extremists.

In short, at the same time that they criticize the fundamentalist mindset, they insist that fundamentalists have the only correct way to experience religion. The millions of us out here who have religious beliefs but don't share fundamentalism's strict (biased) interpretation of some ancient text are just dismissed with a jibe about "believing what we want to believe." It's easy to set up the terms of your argument and then insist that that is the only way the discussion can be conducted. Good job, guys. But it ignores the truth of the experience of millions of people on the planet who have deeply-held religious beliefs that are based on compassion and tolerance.

never finished this one but I'm posting it anyway.

Talks and visits

I am delighted to have been invited to talk about something of ACIC’s work with children in crisis in the Holy Land and am looking forward very much, over the next few weeks, to visiting St Thomas a Becket Church, Shirenewton in South Wales, Lanchester Methodist Church near Durham and the Church of Scotland in Berwick upon Tweed. In a couple of weeks, I am also looking forward enormously to being able to share some thoughts and reflect with folk from the Banff area in the north of Scotland who will be having a pilgrimage to Holy Island.

Making a positive difference to young lives

Looking forward to a return visit to see friends in Blackburn on Monday and then back to Holy Island to run a retreat for a wonderful group from St. Gabriel’s Church in Manchester. The following Sunday, an invitation to visit and talk to the members of a friend’s church in Coventry. It will all be a fantastic opportunity to talk about the children who find themselves in critical need and how ACIC is trying to help to alleviate some of the problems facing the children. Along with those I will meet next week who have already supported the children in so many ways, a huge thank you to all who make the financial sacrifice to positively change some young lives.

Assets, Liabilities and Equity

A short Discussion of Assets, Liabilities and Equity:

Assets are those physical and non physical material which you own. Generally in balance sheet, assets are recorded on the left side. It is mainly categoried into two i.e. current and non-current assets.

Current assets are those assets that can readily be converted to cash. Bank accounts are of course most readily convertible, but any assets that can be converted to cash within a short time are current assets. The short time for the current assets is taken as one year or less.

Non-Current assets are further divided into fixed assets and other assets. Non-current assets are mainly intended for long period of time like machine, building, furniture etc. Such non-current assets may be sold in less than one year or is intended to help to operate the business for periods of greater than a year.

Liabilities are what you owe. It is recorded on the right side of the balance sheet and it is also categorized into two i.e. current and non-current liabilities.
Current Liabilities are the liabilities which are to be paid in short period i.e. within one year or less.

On the other hand, non-current liabilities are the long term debts for more than one years. Long term debt, bank loan etc are non-current liabilities.

Equity is what's left over. It is your net worth. Equity consists of money invested in the compnay by the owners, money taken out of the company by the owners (i.e. their return on their investment) and net income.

ACLS Commission on Cyberinfrastructure

With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, ACLS appointed a national Commission on Cyberinfrastructure in the Humanities and Social Sciences. John Unsworth, dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, chaired the commission. The commission carried out research, hearings, and consultations to gather information and develop perspective during the calendar year 2004. A draft report was issued in 2005 for public comment, the intended audience being the scholarly community and the societies that represent it, university provosts, federal funding agencies (including but not limited to the NSF), and private foundations. The final report, Our Cultural Commonwealth , was released in the fall of 2006.

What is Cyberinfrastructure?

"Cyberinfrastructure" is more than just hardware and software, more than bigger computer boxes and wider pipes and wires connecting them. The term was coined by NSF to describe the new research environments in which capabilities of the highest level of computing tools are available to researchers in an interoperable network. These environments will be built, and ACLS feels it is important for the humanities and social sciences to participate in their design and construction. Ed Ayers has commented that much of the work of developing the Valley of the Shadow was analogous to building a printing press when none existed. Effective cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences will allow scholars to focus their intellectual and scholarly energies on the issues that engage them, and to be effective users of new media and new technologies, rather than having to invent them.

"Cyberinfrastructure" becomes less mysterious once we reflect that scholarship already has an infrastructure. The foundation of that infrastructure consists of the libraries, archives, and museums that preserve information; the bibliographies, finding aids, citation systems, and concordances that make that information retrievable; the journals and university presses that distribute the information; and the editors, librarians, archivists, and curators who link the operation of this structure to the scholars who use it. All of these structures have both extensions and analogues in the digital realm. The infrastructure of scholarship was built over centuries with the active participation of scholars. Cyberinfrastructure will be built more quickly, and so it is especially important to have broad scholarly participation in its construction: after it is built, it will be much harder to shift, alter, or improve its foundations.
