A New Bedford man is covered in snow as he uses a snow blower to dig himself out from the Jan. 21 storm that hit the area. For more photos from the week of Jan. 20, 2014, from SouthCoastToday and The Standard-Times, click here ...

More than a foot of snow fell while we were at the cabin. The road is not maintained in the winter, so we were thankful for the powder.
Hargeisa (Arabic: هرجيسا) is the capital of the state Somaliland and the second largest city in Somalia.
These photos are a small side-project from a field mission documenting the work of the Finnish NGO Physicians for Social Responsibility - specifically their long-running effort around TB in Somalia.
P.S. It is not uncommon for words in Somali to have several different spellings in English [e.g. Hargeysa / Hargaysa].
P.P.S. If you've got appetite for more Africa then do see this collection.
Frank was taking time from his schedule to dig up all the pecans that squirrels buried in the backyard.
Plus this photo shows Frank's coat - which is hard to photograph (being it is many shades of brown/tan) unless the lighting is just right.
Several years ago we purchased a wonderful piece of land in the untouched hills above the city where I was born. Summer days are sooooo hot here and the sun is strong so this year during our visit to Montenegro we decided to try to find water and build a well.
I was surprised to learn that my high school math teacher is also a well-known and successful “water-finder” in the area. He uses the principles of radiesthesia. First he surveyed the lot with the brass dowsing pendulum and then he used two L-shaped brass wire rods. He managed to locate about 7 “water spots" and then marked the strongest one for us to start digging. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diviningmind.com/stor...
At that particular spot he estimated that there are 4 water runs that are meeting at depth of 7-7.5m underground. So we started digging.
Digdigdig! We have had some problems with holes in our back yard. This afternoon we saw who was responsible. I didn't want to get too close, but I tried to get some pictures, because they really are very cute.

Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.

On 7th January 17 people started digging on the site next to Carter's House at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. They are involved in the important task of preserving the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. An exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun will open to visitors next spring.
The project has been funded by Factum Foundation.

Excavators digging themselves up and out of a foundation hole. One digs up its ramp behind while the upper one lifts and loads the truck and sculpts a ramp for the other to climb.
I work with the photos of Geoff Charles, and I couldn't resist drawing this particular one:

If I've said it once then I've said it a thousand times - I love debut novels from emerging writers - and just lately I seem to have had an affinity with Welsh-based ones. First, although not from an emerging writer of course, there was Caradog Prichard's most excellent One Moonlit Night (Canongate Books). Then there was Jayne Joso's superb Soothing Music for Stray Cats (Alcemi) - which embarrassingly I've still to write up my final super-positive afterthoughts on *blush*. And now there is the possibility of a third in the form of Twenty Thousand Saints by Fflur Dafydd (Alcemi).
Twenty Thousand Saints isn't Dafydd's first novel, but it is her first to be published in English. Currently lecturing in the English Department at Swansea University, and with an MA in Creative Writing from UEA, and a PhD on the poetry of R.S. Thomas from the University of Wales, Dafydd's literary credentials speak for themselves. But if that's not reason enough to make one want to dive into her debut English novel, then maybe the cover blurb will be:
**
Archaeologist Deian returns to Bardsey, the island of his childhood, where his mother disappeared without a trace. Sister Viv, closet heretic and host of the annual conference of hermits, has erected a gold plaque in her memory, declaring her unofficial sainthood. Meanwhile, documentary-maker Leri is keen to portray the island's inhabitants as anything but saintly, pursuing a story that has less to do with birds and saints' bones than with real bloodshed. A mystery about excavation - spiritual, linguistic, filmic and sexual.
**
Well that certainly sounds like a compelling storyline to me (can you see now why I've presented the book in a freshly-trowelled hole?), but there's yet another reason to pick up Twenty Thousand Saints. And that's because this is the novel that also won Fflur Daffyd the Oxfam Hay Emerging Writer of the Year award earlier this year. Hay Festival director Peter Florence hails Twenty Thousand Saints as being 'the most compelling novel [he's] read in years; a love story, a thriller, and a profound mediation on language and identity.'
Is there any end to the praise for Dafydd's novel? Well almost. The final thing I'm going to say is that Twenty Thousand Saints publisher, Alcemi, have also submitted the novel as its October nomination for the People's Book Prize (an award which is nominated by the readers themselves). Currently it's sitting in top position for the month.
I've personally scheduled my read through of Twenty Thousand Saints for mid-December, so I'll be back round about then to talk about it more. Meanwhile take a look at the product page for the novel on the Alcemi website, and I also urge you to drop by Fflur Daffyd's website, where you can see for yourself just how sickeningly good she seems to be at everything. Yep she's even a renowned singer-songwriter too....*sigh* :)
