A favorite cozy moment in a cabin by the Pacific Ocean. Kalaoch, Washington. Solitude at the new year, spent listening, visioning and journaling what will be.
Perhaps it is the very feeling of home, this grounding magic, that causes me to wonder who came into this back door after a long days work or after some time away...sunk into a chair or a bed or someone's embrace...and breathed a sigh of gratitude. Home.
The calm, centered, stable feelings that our home brings us cannot be very different from others...cannot be very different from the people who called this place home.

Yoga Workout ~ Grounding Flow with Evangeline Yeun youtu.be/nVN1S_DK59A An excellent yoga flow class to open and strengthen your whole body filled with loads of motivating inspiration. This grounding yoga flow is taught by acclaimed yoga teacher Evangeline Yeun from Sydney, Australia, and brings positive, grounding energy to your yoga practice, as well as strengthening and opening your whole body, heart and mind. Evangeline was first introduced to yoga in 2001 when she took a yoga class in her hometown of San Francisco. Working in the fashion industry, she was always stressed out and discovered that a regular yoga practice calmed her nerves and helped her to feel better about herself. In 2005, she decided to take the plunge. She decided to leave the corporate world and embark on a new adventure by enrolling in the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training. Since then, Evangeline has taught in San Francisco, Vancouver and now Sydney, her new home. Here, she has combined her love of yoga with her fashion industry experience, and launched her own unique brand of yoga wear for men and women – Yogalicious. She was also the Yoga and Lifestyle Advisor for Biotherm’s “Energy Team” for 5 years. Her love of yoga has also expanded into learning and teaching other Yoga styles in Sydney. In 2007, she participated in some workshops and teacher trainings with Twee Merrigan and in 2009 completed Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Mark Breadner. She has also immersed herself in Jivamukti and Anusara training and is inspired by Shiva Rea, Twee Merrigan, Sharon Gannon, Kathryn Budig, Mark Breadner and her family and friends. AntiGravity Yoga has also been a recent love affair as she just completed her AntiGravity Yoga Teacher Training. She loves to incorporate different styles of yoga and dance in her creative, playful and dynamic classes. “I love teaching yoga and sharing this passion with others. I strive to remain calm, present and aware at all times and live yoga off the mat. I encourage students to relax, have fun and be themselves. Yoga is a beautiful journey and has changed my life.” — Evangeline Check out some of our other Yoga videos here: Power Yoga Workout ~ Let Grace Flow www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ00C12psuw Yoga Workout for Hamstrings, with Hanumanasana www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgoU5Ph94a8&t=28s Bikram Yoga Full 90 Minute Workout with Maggie Grove www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e2pDKZHNaI Handstand Yoga Flow www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqTtNXzeYBs&t=1121s Power Yoga with Twists www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=6lnhDl9g9R0&video_refer...

Plane in the rain, DFW, Dallas Texas
Sitting on the tarmac waiting for takeoff when a storm came through, grounding our flight.
2018 has been a taxing year for airlines operating Rolls-Royce powered Boeing 787s… Airlines have had to endure groundings as airframes await new engines and the suitable modifications.
The second half of 2018 is where there is more pressure on the Boeing 787 fleet as both Rolls-Royce and Boeing are expecting a high influx of Dreamliners being grounded as aircraft expect new engines. Those fitted with General Electric and Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-TEN engines are not affected by the potential groundings.
British Airways are a large Boeing 787 operator and whilst their Boeing 777 fleet have been used when they are not available, they won’t be enough to cover their extensive S18 schedule whilst their Boeing 787s are grounded awaiting modifications and new engines.
Already, British Airways have applied to the UK Civil Aviation Authority to wet-lease up to 3 Airbus A330s from Qatar Airways, but that will become a reality beginning the 9th June 2018 where they will take over 3 flights.
As per Airline Route, British Airways have outlined planned use of 3 Airbus A330-200s being wet-leased from Qatar Airways. The Airbus A330-200s will be operating the following flights commencing 9th June 2018:
-Delhi-Indira Ghandi: Until 20th August 2018, operating BA142/143 daily replacing Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Kuwait City: Until 30th June 2018, operating BA156/157 daily replacing Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Muscat-Seeb: Until 19th August 2018, 5 times weekly BA79/80 replacing mixture of Boeing 787-8/9s.
The interesting part is that the Airbus A330-200s are replacing Boeing 777s on two regular flights and one Boeing 787 flight operating 5 days a week. This will allow Boeing 777-200ERs to provide more slack and possibly fill-in if any Boeing 787s are unavailable, whilst that one Boeing 787 flight removed from the schedule will cover for maintenance.
Due to the nature of the Airbus A330-200s, these flights will not be providing World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) and First services during this time period. The in-flight crew and catering are to be provided by Qatar Airways staff.
Currently, British Airways operates 58 Boeing 777s, which includes 3 Boeing 777-200s, 43 Boeing 777-200ERs and 12 Boeing 777-300ERs. British Airways have 3 second-hand Boeing 777-300ERs on-order, but this is subject to change owing to IAG ad Boeing negotiating an order for wide-body aircraft.
Victor India India Kilo is one of 43 Boeing 777-200ERs in service with British Airways, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 3rd February 1998 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GE90-85B engines. Since new, she carried Animals & Trees World Tail designed by Cgoise and based on the artwork of the Kalahari Desert. She lost her World Tail in October 2004 after being repainted into BA’s standard Chatham Dockyard Union Jack livery.

Along with a TUI 767-300 G OBYH four Virgin Atlantic 747s grounded due to the Covid-19 situation in late May, front to rear are G VROS, G VLIP, G VROM, & G VAST all have now departed to various locations, the sole remaining Virgin 747 at Manchester at the beginning of October 2020 was G VXLG.
Home is often a place of gathering and grounding. Yet these very qualities have also made it a target for those wishing to eradicate peoples and their cultures. Artists depict how communities resist destructive legacies of government agendas by embracing cherished memories of home and community. In response to the traumas of colonialism, an alternate world of fantastical depictions becomes a site of habitation and diasporic displacement is eased through shared spaces of community and family gatherings. Non-human community is also shown as a reminder that natural sites are shared, cross-species places; to enter these spaces is to enter another’s home. Ultimately artworks remind us that home is a place of respect, enriched through shared experiences, values and memories.
Fidalgo Bay. Cap Sante Marina.
Press Release from USCG:
Coast Guard tows grounded vessel, responds to pollution near Anacortes, Washington.
A Coast Guard Station Bellingham 45-foot Response Boat- Medium crew towed and safely moored the fishing vessel Arline at the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes after receiving a report that vessel was aground in the Swinomish Channel Thursday evening.
A boarding was conducted by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie, an 87-foot patrol boat homeported in Port Angeles, Wash., revealing the master and crewman aboard the Arline to be intoxicated and the local police department took the master of the fishing vessel into custody.
Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound watchstanders received a call from the master of the Arline reporting the grounding near Anacortes. The Coast Guard Cutter Adelie was on a routine patrol at the time and was diverted to assist the crew of the grounded vessel.
Upon boarding the vessel, the Adelie crew suspected the master of the vessel was intoxicated and issued a field sobriety and breathalyzer test revealing a blood alcohol content level of .115, well over the legal limit in Washington State.
“Thanks to the crews of both Station Bellingham and the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie for making our local waterways safer,” said Captain Joe Raymond, Commanding Officer of Sector Puget Sound. “Boating while intoxicated is not only a danger to the crew of the vessel being operated, but it is endangers the lives of any boaters in the area.”
After the vessel was moored a light sheen was discovered coming from the Arline. Further inspection revealed a crack in the vessel’s shaft packing causing oily water to be discharged overboard.
Containment boom has been applied around the vessel. A Coast Guard incident management team from Seattle is working with contractors to contain further pollution and develop a possible salvage plan for the vessel.
The Arline is a 50-foot fishing vessel homeported in Seattle and is reportedly carrying up to 150 gallons of diesel aboard. The Coast Guard is investigating the grounding.
This isn't the first time the F/V ARLINE has run aground and a captian was arrested:
From September 5, 2013
British Columbia: American skipper arrested Monday on suspicion of impaired operation of a vessel after his fishing boat ran aground near Kelsey Bay.
The 58-foot American F/V Arline was heading south when it ran aground and the two remaining crew members apparently tried to abandon ship. Conditions may have been foggy at the time. The two remaining crew were safely evacuated and the captain was escorted to Campbell River while Coast Guard towed his boat. Awaiting the captain at the docks in Campbell River were Mounties, Canadian Border Services, Transport Canada, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Police arrested the captain on suspicion of impaired operation of a motor vessel and dangerous operation of a motor vessel.
Built by BREL York Works in 1971, the Prototype Electro Pneumatic (PEP) vehicles, formed into two 4-car Class 445 and one 2-car Class 446 sets, were the grounding for many new EMU classes. After operating in passenger service for a few years, they entered departmental service as traction development sets. I photographed one of the Class 445s from beyond the boundary at Wimbledon Depot c1980. At this time, it was numbered 935 056 in the deparmental series (but may not have carried this number) and the livery comprised a dark grey upper body with red and blue bands swooping up at the end.

Vancouver's Barch Chilling Beach claims its next "participant"
1950s Zeiss Novar 75mm - Ilford FP4+ - Zeiss Ikon Nettar
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
You guys know I do a bit of energy work, right? My Reiki master told me a long time ago that when I finish a treatment on someone, to help bring them back to the here-and-now and awareness of their bodies (since there is a tendency to be rather light-headed and floaty after) I should visualize deep, strong, grounding energy coming up from the earth through their legs, and bright, light energy coming in through their heads. Let the two energies mix around and weave themselves together in the body, so you're left with someone who is both aware of spiritual and "higher" things, and also grounded, present, and able to drive themselves home safely. I thought what a lovely idea that would make for a photo, but it was quite a while before I was able to make the photo a reality.
I have been a big fan of
Brooke Shaden for a long time now. Not only does she create the most amazing images, she is also incredibly sweet and generous to other artists. She agreed to model for this photo for me, and even took me to one of her favorite spots to photograph. She was also completely fine with me making a puddle of mud and smearing the mess all over her legs and the skirt of the dress and was patient with the sparkly, jewel-encrusted crown I had made just for this shot which required a lot of holding very still of it would come tumbling off. Thanks, Brooke! :)
I am very, very pleased with this photo.

2 x PASHA BULKER ZENFOLIO GALLERIES - Plus full details of the grounding and Salvage Operation.
The Pasha Bulker was one of 10 vessels (of the 58 anchored off Newcastle awaiting access to bulk coal loading facilities) who defied requests to move to sea by Port Authorities in the serious 1 in 30 year storm of June 7th-8th 2007.She finally dropped her ballast water and attempted to head to sea,to no avail,being washed up on Nobbys Beach just near the harbour entrance.There was great concern for the likely environmental impacts of an unsuccessful salvage but on July 2nd 2007 salvage tugs were,with the aid of on deck winches and sea anchors,able to drag her free,fortunately with minimal environmental impact.
The ship was successfully towed to Asia after basic repairs where she underwent major repairs to the damaged superstructure.The Pasha Bulker was given a new name and now plys the oceans once more.
Greenpeace saw an opportunity at the most critical point of the recovery operation when the world's media was fully locked onto the story to promote the case that coal causes global warming by projecting a large laser projected slogan to that effect across the ships bows.

Part of a grounding line for the 400kV DC system. It seems that given the ongoing mining in the area, they cannot risk the ground for the DC converter being in an area liable to be excavated for mining, so this line runs to a point a few miles northwest of the plant.

Folks, we at The Shop have a new offering for your design needs: grids!
Are you making a retrowave/synthwave/1980s piece, and need the right grounding element? Are you composing a mid-century modern mood board, and need some visual structure? Are you crafting a collage, and need a nifty pattern? We have you covered.
The set includes forty-five (45) base assets, themselves available in a few different variations. There are scans of real vintage graph paper sheets (metric units). There are scans of printed grids (imperial units). There are scans of two different sets of hand-drawn grids (imperial units). There are distorted grids, created manually while scanning.
Because these are made out of assets that were scanned in, they retain a particular texture, and grain, that makes all of them unique.
In addition to all of this, there are matching transparent PNG versions, Bitmap TIFF versions, and even vector versions. This set will be your new go-to for grids, regardless of the scale you need to work in. And of course, all files are clearly labeled, and organized, as usual.

Explanation:
Phase 1 and phase 2 kits are on the lower left.
Starting at the upper left:
Grounding mat with wrist strap. Doesn't actually have a connector TO ground, you'll note, but does keep you and the workpiece at the same potential, so better than nothing. Now you appreciate the little chain that drags on the ground under the carts and chairs in some labs.
Some people and their environment and wardrobe choices generate more electrostatic potential than others. I know a guy who used to lead with his car keys to the latch seat on the door jamb, whenever he went through a doorway at the office. One key would arc to the bare-metal plate the door latches on. He drew arcs that made audible "pop!" sounds if he didn't offer a low-impedance path, and the arcs hurt. Could have had something to do with polyester suits. I prefer cotton.
The mat can't hurt, might help. If the workpiece's grounded cord is plugged in, use an alligator clip haywire to connect chassis ground to the mat. Or touch the chassis ground with one hand while working. Or connect the mat to ground at a grounded outlet- the North American 3 wire receptacle ground connection take a standard "Banana" jack. (A forthright Canadian friend uses the word "jill" in place of "receptacle"... the counterpart to a "jack". Suit yourself)
Ethernet (RJ-45) to USB adapter. More than two connectors and a wire, there's Ethernet transmitter / receiver hardware in the body of it, and USB receiver / transmitter hardware too. Just like you'd expect, these have their own MAC and you may have to make that known (depending on how your network runs). Sadly, I haven't yet seen a PXE boot setup that accepts the external adapter's MAC. But I have over-written the adapter's default to have the adapter take the place of a failing-but-not-completely-broken built-in NIC...
Note ROM disk with drivers.
Partially-unbent paper-clip, size large. For resetting things with recessed reset buttons, forcing CD/DVD drives to eject, etc. Its on a badge-clip and attaches to the lanyard with the bootable USB stick. Save the last one you made and you don't have to find another paper clip when time is of the essence...
Small tube of thermal putty. Better quality heat-sink-and-fan assemblies come with a dab already in place, and it will squish and flow when heated. If you're reusing a heat-sink when upgrading the processor on something, you'll need your own supply. It does dry out, so put the cap on after cleaning the surfaces. Don't buy the big, economy, size, unless you really use it frequently. I don't like to let an open tube go more than 6 months.
Non-conductive ruler. Wood or plastic. A metal edge on a wooden ruler is OK, but an all metal ruler is unnecessary trouble.
Grounding strap - wrist band to aligator clip, use with mat or separately, see discussion at top.
Pocket-size volt-ohm-(amp)-meter, aka VOM. Cheap. Something to read what you expect to be +/- 5V, 120 VAC, 240 or 208 VAC, +/- 12, 3V lithium cells for CMOS memory, etc. Built-in leads don't fall out or break off. Some alligator and/or "ball clip" jumper wires will help if you need to secure one or both ends. Ammeter functions in these are usually too few mA to bother with, but if you use it, get some replacement fuses, its a "when", not "if", situation.
"Magic" tape dispenser. For mending or sealing paper and cardboard. The "magic" 3M tape can be written on with ballpoint pen, vastly superior to shiny tape.
Large multi-bit screwdriver, with Phillips, regular, Torx and socket ends. For unusual jobs, where it is worth having the right tool for the fastener. You can't buy an assortment of 'bits' without getting all the regular blade and Phillips sizes in any event. I prefer a dedicated handle and a bit that doesn't come off, but I don't have 1.3 meters of wall space to hang them all on.
Phase 4 exists, it includes a small, sharp, knife, coffee cup and coaster, cup or can for pens, pencils, plastic flatware, skinny tools; duct-tape, vinyl tape for color-coding, extension cords, a Brother or similar label maker, zip-lock polyethylene bags, nickel-plated anti-static bags, boxes and bins for organizing stuff, extra monitors, keyboards and mice. Broom, dust-pan, small-but-powerful vacuum cleaner (Mighty-mite from a garage sale, or similar). Speakers for your radio / computer / phone audio when acceptable. I don't favor headphones in the lab, may people do. A water bottle or large plastic cup.
There are also consumables: tie wraps, facial tissues for blowing your nose and cleaning up surfaces, paper towels / napkins, light cardboard tags to attach to stuff that has a story. Blank CD/DVD media. A notebook.
An ice shelf is a thick platform of ice that forms at the grounding line of a glacier, where the glacier meets the coastline. Most freshwater on earth is bound in the huge ice shield covering almost entire Antarctica and extending in shelf-ice to the sea. Increasing melt of Antarctic ice would lead to significant sea level rise.

The SS Amur was an iron-hulled steamship with a diverse career spanning four decades. Built in Sunderland in 1890 as the freighter Famous, she operated in European waters before being acquired and renamed the Amur in 1898 for use during the Klondike Gold Rush. The Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, later C.P.R. Steamship Services, purchased her in 1899, and she became a vital link connecting Vancouver and Victoria with remote northern British Columbia ports and Alaska. Despite several groundings on the challenging coastal routes, she proved durable. After suffering significant damage in 1911, she was converted into an ore carrier and finished her working life under her original name before ultimately being scuttled in Burrard Inlet in 1932.
(1 June 1906) - NORTHERN TRAVEL. There is a great exodus north this season of homeseekers and prospectors. Last year the movement in the direction of Bulkley Valley doubled the previous year, and though it is now too early to attempt an accurate forecast, the indications are favorable that the same will occur this Summer. On the Northern British Columbia Coast considerable stir is evidenced at different points. More people are going to Port Simpson, up the Skeena River, to Kai-en Island and up the Portland Canal than was ever previously known to have gone in these directions, and the prospects are, generally speaking, very reassuring of a big volume of business. As proof of this statement it might be stated that the C. P. R. Company is making the steamer Amur ready to join the Princess Beatrice on the Skeena and Skagway route. She will sail to-morrow night, and by the time she completes one round trip it is expected the steamer Princess May will be in condition to resume her service on the route. This steamer, which has been in the hands of the B. C. Marine Railway Company during the Winter months, has lately had new boilers installed, and the cabin work, which had to be left until this undertaking was completed, is being advanced now with all possible despatch, so that in a few more weeks the steamer will, it is thought, be running.
1906 Picture Post Card with "Vancouver & Skagway, R.P.O. / Str. Amur Postmark", a very fine and light strike in purple, dated JUN.5.1906 on a postcard mailed from Parry Sound Ont. on MAY.10.1906 (c.d.s. ties stamp) to Captain Smith in Vancouver (MAY.15 receiver), where it was redirected on MAY.18 to Port Simpson BC (MAY.31 broken circle on back) and finally to Caribou, Yukon Territory (Ketchican Alaska duplex transit dated JUN.8 on back).

(3 June 1906) - For Skagway, Port Essington, Port Simpson and Ketchikan -Princess Beatrice May 28th, June 9th and 21st. "Amur" on June 2nd and 15th. The C. P. R. steamer Amur sailed late last night for Skagway with a large number of passengers and a good sized cargo of miscellaneous freight. The Amur will alternate with the steamer Princess Beatrice on the Northern route during the month of June or until the steamer Princess May is ready for service.

Captain T. Smith Identification: Information from a postcard (May-June 1906), sent to "Capt. T. Smith" via the Salvation Army in Port Simpson and routed to Carcross, Yukon, helped identify him as a specific historical figure:
The Salvation Army established a notable presence in the Yukon during the height of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, focusing on missionary and social work among miners. Led by Eva Booth, commander in Canada, a team of volunteers and nurses traveled to Dawson City to provide support and repair the broken dreams of miners.
Key Aspects of Early Yukon History:
Klondike Gold Rush Initiative: Prompted by the 1898 gold rush, Salvation Army officers, including nurses, were dispatched to Dawson City to provide, spiritual, and social aid to miners.
Missionary Focus: The focus was on "saving the souls of miners" and offering support to those facing difficult circumstances in the northern frontier.
Growth in Canada: This effort was part of the Army's expansion across Canada following its establishment in 1882, a period marked by rapid growth and social service.
Role of Eva Booth: Supported by her father, General William Booth, who visited North America in 1898, Eva Booth led the expedition into the Yukon.
The early work in the Yukon was characterized by a direct approach to supporting individuals in need, similar to the Salvation Army's efforts in other parts of Canada during that era.
