It looks congested but there is room for more downstream. University of Brighton students measuring flow discharge in a meltwater stream from Mt Etna.

It doesn't look nearly so congested as it does when you are there but being a pedestrian here for the first time is quite an experience. When I first arrived I asked, "so how do you cross the streets here?" and the woman at the hotel reception explained that, "you walk out into the street and they will go around you but do not run and do not step backward or they will hurt you." It seemed to work. It was like stepping into a school of fish. They just go around you.

There's a story here. Seems that the owner prior to the fellow that I purchased Rider from wasn't quite sure how much oil to add when the oil pressure light went on.
Assuming that more oil would lubricate better, he proceeded to dump 8 quarts in the beast. It still runs (for now), but won't be going anywhere until I drain it and change a few gaskets.
This was taken at the same intersection, just about the same place, as the "Trouble at the Donut Shop" pic. Please note the truck bed looks crooked whereas the freeway overpass in the background does not.
While walking through the congested walkways of Venice, Italy, I noticed this wonderful empty square. A sidewalk painter was creating a beautiful portrait on the ground and it just seemed like he had the entire area to himself. It was beautiful.
When this bridge was raised a century ago, it was busy times out here. A lot of sawmill traffic was funneled through this point, a valuable crossing keeping logging trucks from congesting Highway 1 through Weymouth town. But all that industry is long gone now, the downtown bypassed by Highway 101, and this bridge can't safely carry the weight of its intended purpose. Now it's a creature of rust and worn-out decking, hanging precariously over the Sissiboo River. Some are convinced that it's an essential crossing, but many locals aren't even aware of its existence. I was here for an hour last winter with two cars passing. Some may say that it's got local history, but it's no handmade covered bridge. These steel truss spans were mass-produced all over North America, and as such, have no individual personalities.
Despite all that, and sure enough, I love a rusty one-lane. Even though repairs are eventually impossible, it's a charming tale of inevitable loss. It keeps us closer to a sense of life and death, reminders that we're temporary residents in a world of corrosion and erosion. The significance of noticing what's going is something so often overlooked. The tourist bureaus and chambers of commerce give you every ounce of upside that anyone could stomach. But as a lifelong citizen of western Nova Scotia, I like to reflect what gets left and lingers. No one could claim it's the best of us, only that it's a truth that the upsiders aim to overlook. Don't try to save me by only seeing the good, give me the good you found by prying it from the grip of what's bad.

At home yesterday evening, Dolce experienced congestive heart failure and died due to mitral valve displaysia. This resulted in mitral insufficiency and systolic regurgitation of blood into the left atrium of her heart. Her heart dilated and then ruptured; she died at home in my husband's arms on the living room floor. We were both home from work when she passed and are thankful that she was not alone. We really believe she waited for us to get home before passing as she wasn't her usual self the day before. She didn't have much of an appetite, her tail was down and I said to my husband, she looks like she's trying to tell us something. In her own way she did; she could no longer go on although we knew in our hearts she wanted to be with us.
This is such a sudden condition that could have happened at any moment and is undetected by the most advanced veterinary equipment. She was just at the vet last Saturday for her routine and a heartworm test and had an EKG not too long ago but there was no sign of anything abnormal. Of course, Dolce did have an enlarged heart and heart murmur which was doing ok but because of this, her old age, and just her heart not being able to continue on, she couldn't get any more oxygen to her brain.
We left her at the AMC last night; we are going to visit her this evening and then move forward with a private cremation which will take place tomorrow.
My special little angel, my little baby girl is gone and we knew the time would come some day but when it does come, you are never prepared. Part of me as well as my husband has died. Yes, time will eventually heal the pain but it will never go away, never.
Dolce brought so much joy and love and fun times in our life, as well as Moonbeam's. We are so happy we rescued her and were able to give her the best of everything and a household and family full of love. That's all she wanted and all she loved...besides her snacks. All she wanted was to beloved and that's what we gave to her unconditionally. We will never forget her as we know she will never forget us.
Thank you for everything Susan, Jackie, Lauren, and Beth.

Motorcycle commuting in Shanghai is a common mode of transportation for many residents due to its convenience and efficiency in navigating the city's congested streets. Motorcycles and scooters offer flexibility, allowing riders to weave through traffic and access narrow alleyways that larger vehicles cannot reach. However, regulations on motorcycle usage in Shanghai have become stricter in recent years, with certain areas of the city imposing bans or restrictions on motorcycles to address traffic congestion and safety concerns.

Overly congested Karachi Fish Harbor has resulted in landing of poor quality fish, unhygienic handling and dilapidated sanitary conditions.
We are moving into the bowels of the congested old city of Amritsar now, and so our heritage walk commences here in right earnest. Some of the heritage structures are unfortunately being knocked down and rebuilt but I was fascinated by how that building appears to be literally crushed between the two newer ones! The Amritsar heritage walk is a guided tour deep inside the narrow lanes and by- lanes of the 400 year old city of Amritsar. One gets to see Katras, Akharas Bungas, Havelis,and Hatties. (these are various names for types of traditional architecture- I don't know what exactly they are myself, barring the haveli, which is a large stately mansion). The walk takes you back in the time as you witness town planning of olden days. You can also see traditional trade and crafts being practiced in the same place and in the same manner as has been done for centuries. It is however,the famous intricately carved wooden facades of many of the older buildings that really fascinate you This walk is an opportunity to feel part of this beautiful, sacred and yet vibrant city.

Baker Street: The World's First Underground
..the origins of the world’s first Underground network.
Opened on 10 January 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, Baker Street was home to the launch of a revolutionary idea – carrying passengers beneath Victorian London’s congested streets. Cutting a 90-minute journey to just 20 minutes, the ‘Met’ revolutionised travel in the city and provided the foundation for Metro systems across the world.
Explore closed-off parts of the station including original platforms, disused lift shafts and corridors that are hidden in plain sight - some of which were last accessed by the public over 75 years ago in 1945. Learn about the station’s history as the Operational Headquarters for London Underground, and hear first-hand accounts from those who worked (and played) there over the years.
This tour will take you on a historical journey through the 160 years of the station, starting with the early days of Victorian underground steam travel and ending in the busy station of 10 platforms and five Underground lines that it is today.
Along the way, you’ll hear what the very first passengers thought of underground travel in 1863, how the Underground grew and expanded over the next 16 decades, and how Baker Street served not only passengers, but also London Underground staff..

HISTORY: In 1854 an Act of Parliament was passed enabling the Metropolitan Railway to construct an underground railway between Paddington and the City, as part of an envisaged 'Inner Circle' linking the mainline stations, to be completed in conjunction with the MR's collaborator, later arch-rival: the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR), inaugurated in 1864. This - the world's first underground railway - was constructed 1860-3 under the supervision of (Sir) John Fowler, the MR's Engineer in Chief, from Paddington, Bishop's Road (now Paddington), and Farringdon Street (Farringdon), with intermediate stations at Edgware Road, Baker Street, Portland Road (Great Portland Street), Gower Street (Euston Square) and King's Cross. The railway was constructed on the 'cut-and-cover' system whereby a trench is excavated and roofed over, a method employed until the 1890s when it was superseded by the deep tube system for electrified trains. Both broad and standard-gauge track were laid.
The original MR station surface buildings were relatively modest, single-storey Italianate buildings in brick and stucco and none survives other than as fragmentary remains. Of the seven, Paddington, Edgware Road, Kings Cross and Farringdon had platforms in open cuttings flanked by brick retaining walls covered by conventional iron-and-glass roofs, while Gower Street, Great Portland Street and Baker Street had sub-surface platforms covered by a brick barrel vault, lit by globe gaslights; these latter stations were thus the first true 'underground' stations. At Baker Street and Gower Street, which were virtually identical, lighting was supplemented by a series of deep lunettes pierced through the vault, lined with white glazed tiles, each of which had a thick glass cover at surface level with ventilation apertures, enclosed by railings. No more of these sub-surface platforms were built due to the noxious atmosphere from steam and gases.
Baker Street station opened on 10 January 1863, comprising a pair of one-storey buildings on the north and south corners of Marylebone Road and Baker Street, each containing a booking office and stairs down to the west end of the platforms. In 1868, two surface-level platforms opened on the north side to serve an extension to Swiss Cottage, later extended to four, with a link to the existing line. From here the line - known as the 'Metropolitan Extension' - was incrementally extended north-westwards into Middlesex, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, reaching Aylesbury and Verney Junction in 1892, some 50 miles from central London. Branch lines were opened from Harrow to Uxbridge (1904), Moor Park to Watford (1925) and finally Wembley Park to Stanmore (1932). The MR absorbed the Hammersmith & City Railway in 1867, and opened a new branch from Edgware Road to South Kensington in 1868. The MR also operated trains on the London and South Western Railway line to Richmond by 1877. The original line was extended to Moorgate in 1865; Bishopsgate (Liverpool Street) in 1875 and Aldgate in 1876. Meanwhile, the remainder of the Inner Circle was constructed by the MDR, from South Kensington (1868) to Tower Hill (1884). The Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (later the Bakerloo Line) opened its station at Baker Street on 10 March 1906.which stood to the northwest of the MR station, interlinked to it by a subway. It was demolished in the 1960s.
The MR deliberately cultivated the image of a mainline company (which in effect it was). The line was electrified by 1907, and in 1911 the MR embarked on a comprehensive rebuilding programme in which Baker Street was to be its new company headquarters and flagship station. This was prompted not only by increasing congestion, but also the drive to exploit suburban expansion to the northwest. Here, the MR enjoyed a uniquely privileged position whereby it was legally enabled to retain surplus land it had acquired for railway development in the late C19. Thus was born 'Metro-land', the term coined by the MR's publicity department in 1915 and used henceforth in MR marketing, and which rapidly entered common parlance as an idealised evocation of northwest London commuterland. Baker Street Station was the 'Gateway to Metro-land'.
The new station was designed by Charles Walter Clark (1885-1972), appointed Chief Architectural Assistant to the Engineer of the MR in 1910 and Architect in 1921. It was intended to form part of the ground floor of a large five-storey, 15-bay hotel carried on a tall rusticated-arcaded ground floor, approached by a long ramp. The station comprised a grand booking hall and concourse at basement level with a ladies' room, buffet, lost property office and WH Smith bookstall among the facilities, providing a modern service comparable to that of a main-line station. To the east were offices, a parcels office and a goods entrance. The MR Extension platforms were remodelled, and to the northeast in Allsop Place an imposing new MR headquarters was built to Clark's design. Building ceased on the outbreak of WWI, and the hotel proposal was superseded by a scheme for mansion flats, named Chiltern Court, designed by Clark in 1927 and completed in 1929.
The MR remained fiercely independent until 1932, having resisted absorption into 'the Combine' which dominated underground railway construction in London until the 1930s. In 1933 the Combine, the MR and all bus and tram networks, were merged into the London Passenger Transport Board, an unsubsidised public corporation, and the MR network became the Metropolitan Line. In 1939, Bakerloo trains took over the ML service to Stanmore. Another entrance was formed further to the west in Chiltern House c1939, linked to the ML booking hall by a corridor. In 1979 the new Jubilee Line took over the Baker Street to Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo line and added an extra northbound platform. In 1990 the section of the ML from Baker Street to Hammersmith became part of the newly-created (or recreated) Hammersmith & City Line.

Pickles the Miniature Pinscher/Manchester Terrier mix was found in a "saucy" part of Tucson, zigzagging to avoid traffic through a congested intersection. Someone who adopted two of our puppies contacted us to help, and while we ordinarily cannot afford to take in strays, get them healthy and altered, and then adopted, we took a chance on Pickles.
MANY vet visits later we learned that Pickles had an insane hyperthyroid issue that would soon be fatal as well as advanced valley fever in his bones. He also has at least one bb lodged in his side.
Pickles' health is now mostly stablized with aggressive doses of medication, other than the dramatic seizures we've seen a couple of times. Meanwhile, Pickles is the friendliest dog that all the other canines want as a buddy.
Through all of his medical issues we decided that we didn't want to adopt out the onus and potential shorter lifespan, so Pickles went from a stray, to a foster, to a forever home all very quickly.
Description: The June 30 evening shooting which occurred just before 6 pm at the congested corner of Stockton and Clay streets, is believed to stem from an apparent dispute between alleged rival Asian gangs jockeying for fireworks sales turf. Incident underscores law enforcement weaknesses, policy problems. Some community activists are not so sure about the alleged gang affiliations and question the quick assumptions of the police and the media. Questions have arisen within the Chinese American community of whether the fireworks problem necessarily equates to a "Chinatown problem."
