To celebrate completion of the first week of my Fall Semester I made a late Friday trip down to Alviso to check out Salt Ponds A6 and A8. These ponds lie just west of Alviso and have been opened to tidal flow in the last year.
I was able to visit Salt Pond A6 (the Knapp Tract) a year ago to photograph the pre-breach condition of the pond. It was an interesting landscape for a variety of reasons. The pond had been in disuse and its bottom had been taken over as a breeding ground by tens of thousands of California Gulls. The scene provided interesting ground textures with the added bonus that you could see the earthwork preparations for the upcoming levee breach.
Salt Pond A8 was a different scene. A year ago this pond was not dry but filled with water in a way that was visually complex. From the ground it looked like a large pond. But from above it was clear that the upper layer of the pond was clear fresh water (I assume rain water) while a couple of feet below the surface the water appeared to have higher salinity and the mid-green, turbid color of halophiles. This murky green water conformed to the deepest areas such as old marsh channels and borrow ditches. The effect was photographically interesting.
Fast-forward to the current day and Salt Pond A8 is still filled with water but it is now managed tidal flow. This new water is also turbid – with sediment not halophiles – and causes the pond to have a uniformity that is less interesting to photograph. On the other hand, Salt Pond A6 has made a more interesting transformation from dry abandoned pond to a place that fills and empties with the tides every day. It seems much transformed as seen from the air and is already accumulating sediment.
This set also includes views of Salt Pond A7 and its large crop of Cyanobacteria as well as Alviso Slough and the A ponds on its other side.
The Heartlands Project is a community-led vision to transform 7.5ha of Cornwall’s most derelict industrial landscape into a truly inspirational cultural attraction.
LUC won an international competition to masterplan and design an imaginative mixed-use site that would become a catalyst for regeneration in the future. Working with a large multidisciplinary team, for the client Cornwall Council, our team delivered a project that referenced Cornwall’s history and the site’s heritage, making it a space that fosters convergence and reflection.
Our design aimed to capture the spirit of Cornwall, providing dynamic new spaces for the community and visitors to enjoy. The masterplan included places to relax in the Diaspora Gardens, an outdoor events space and surrounding parkland. We also created the largest free adventure playground in Cornwall, with play specialists Timberplay. Revelling in Cornish folklore, the playground includes custom-made wooden climbing structures, tunnels and a beach with diggers and a sand transportation system.
The development also encompassed the Grade II listed Robinson’s Shaft, which was restored to provide a gateway for the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, artists’ studios and residential units.

Newburgh, NY - Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) today congratulated six students upon their graduation from the Newburgh Youth Build, joining them to celebrate completion of a year long renovation project, which transformed a blighted building at 6 Federal Street in Newburgh into a three-unit transitional housing facility for low-income Habitat for Humanity families. Hinchey secured $210,000 in the fiscal year 2009 budget for the program designed to engage young people from 17 to 24 years of age in a GED completion program and impart skills needed to obtain future employment in the trades. Youth Build was a joint venture of Habitat Newburgh, Best Resources, and the Laborers’ Local #17.
"This shows what a community can do when it comes together," said Hinchey. "Today these six young people have acquired the skills and experience they need to find good jobs. Countless families will benefit from the new transitional housing units they helped to renovate, and it was all made possible through the hard work of Habitat for Humanity of Newburgh, Best Resources and the Laborers' Local #17. I was very pleased to secure federal funding for this project because the value to this community could not have been more clear. The community will benefit from this facility for years to come and the skills gained by these hard-working students will serve them well in their careers and lives. I'm so proud of everything we have accomplished."
Hinchey thanked the board and staff of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh for their dedication and strong leadership in implementing the project, directly recognizing President Maureen Crush, Executive Director Cathy Collins, and former Executive Director Deirdre Glenn.
All of the participants completed general classes provided by the Laborer's Local 17. These classes included: ladder safety, traffic control, scaffold building, fire safety, site maintenance, and construction math. In September, three of the participants went on to complete certificates in the following areas: NYS Asbestos Handler, EPA Renovator, General Construction, Scaffold User, Scaffold Builder, new OSHA Signal Person, Traffic Control, Forklift, Mason Tending, OSHA 10, Hilti, Landscape, and Welding.
GED classes were provided by Best Resources. Two participants passed their GEDs, one has taken his GED and is awaiting his results, and two are still working on their GED. One of the participants has enrolled in Orange County Community College starting in the spring.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh builds homes and strengthens community in Newburgh. Habitat Newburgh is dedicated to providing decent, affordable housing in partnership with local, hard-working families in need. Reaching across religious, cultural, and racial boundaries, Habitat strives to restore a sense of community with the common goal of strong neighborhoods and dignity through homeownership. To date, Habitat Newburgh has built 43 safe, decent and affordable houses in one of the most distressed urban areas in the United States. Over 225 children and adults now call these houses home, and the homes in the City of Newburgh’s assessed property values have increased by over $8.3 million.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie and the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) celebrated the substantial completion of the H-1 Freeway Rehabilitation Project at a dedication ceremony at Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, overlooking the freeway. The project reconstructed and resurfaced one of the most heavily traveled corridors in the state and added an extra travel lane in both directions in less than 11 months. New LED street lighting, added drainage, and glare screens were also installed to improve highway safety.
As part of completion of the Certificate IV in Business Management (Small Business) I'm currently undertaking, and as a pre-requisite for acceptance into the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) program, I have to conduct a survey about the portrait photography business I am starting up.
Your assistance in answering some quick questions for me would be greatly appreciated.
Please take a look at the 'facade' section of my website to get an idea of the portraiture that I do, and then scroll to the bottom of the page to click through to the survey to answer the questions.
Please let me know if you have any problems with the online survey or any questions about it.
Due to the nature of the business I'm starting, at this stage those of you in Melbourne and surrounds are the respondents I'm most interested in; but if you happen to be interstate or outside Australia and feel the urge to complete the survey, by all means go ahead. I'd love to travel with my business in the long term, so there's no harm in knowing where else in the world my services may be required ;o)
Thank you in advance to those who are able to complete the survey.

So that Fergal could show people the circuit at various stages of completion, we had a webcam on a tripod he could use to project his Arduino onto the screen. Cheese is very handy.
You can also see the rather natty visual circuit representations provided by Oomlout for their kits (and one of their ARDX kits too) which we're basing our course on.
Didn't use it that much this time out, but it's handy to have (and looks fancy)

Construction began in 1866 but was not completed until 1903. It cost $3.2million but the dome was left unadorned until 2002 due to controversy about what to place atop it. "Ad Astra", a statue of a Kansa warrior was placed atop the dome.
Since 2002, the Capitol has been undergoing restoration with hopes of completion sometime in 2013.

Canton Viaduct is a blind arcade cavity wall railroad viaduct built in 1834-35 in Canton, Massachusetts, for the Boston and Providence Railroad (B&P).
At its completion, it was the longest (615 feet) and tallest (70 feet) railroad viaduct in the world; today, it is the last surviving viaduct of its kind. It has been in continuous service for 179 years; it now carries high-speed passenger and freight rail service.
The Canton Viaduct's walls are similar to the ancient curtain wall of Rhodes (built about 400 BCE) with rusticated stone. It supports a train deck about 60 feet above the Canton River, the east branch (tributary) of the Neponset River. The stream pool passes through six semi-circular portals in the viaduct, flowing to a waterfall about 50 feet downstream.
The viaduct was the final link built for the B&P's then 41-mile mainline between Boston, Massachusetts; and Providence, Rhode Island. Today, the viaduct serves Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. It sits 0.3 miles south of Canton Junction, at milepost 213.74,[6] reckoned from Pennsylvania Station in New York City, and at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's (MBTA) milepost 15.35, reckoned from South Station in Boston.

Sparks fly as the cut for the firepot is being made. Special thanks to my family for letting me use the space to do this project.
With the completion of the Santa Fe Railroad at the turn of the 20th century, the American Southwest became a tourist destination. Fred Harvey, a British businessman, recognized the potential of this new market and took the opportunity to open a series of hotels, restaurants, and dining cards along the route. Tourism led to a rising interest in Native American jewelry. This necklace, probably made by Pueblo peoples, is typical of the kind of jewelry sold by the Fred Harvey company. It features multiple small crosses flanking a central pendant of turquoise. This illustrates the cultural complexity of the region -- Christianity was imposed on Native peoples of the area by Spanish missionaries beginning in the sixteenth century, but Indigenous people adapted many Catholic practices to their own beliefs as well.
