INACTION FIGURES!!
Tony Stark, the Invincible Iron Man, and James Rhodes, War Machine, taking their ease on China Beach at Đà Nẵng in Vietnam.
"Y'KNOW TONY, IS IT JUST ME, OR IS CHINA BEACH A LOT COLDER THAN IT WAS BACK IN THE DAY?"
"FUN-NY RHODEY. FUN-NY...JARVIS, OVERRIDE CODE: 'SIR PALOMIDES' - DEACTIVATE AIR CONDITIONING IN WAR MACHINE ARMOUR...."
"AWWW. SHOOT!! Y'KNOW STARK, FOR A PARTY DUDE YOUR'E A REGULAR BUZZKILL...MAN, DAMN, IT'S HOT!"
"YEAH MAN, BUT IT'S A WET HEAT!!"
"FUN-NY TONY, FUN-NY..."
If you've been following this photoset you know that the Iron Man character had his fictional origin in 1963 in Vietnam during the Second Indochina, or Vietnam, War. Which explains (of course!) why I took I.M toys with me on holiday there for the 49th anniversary of the comic book hero. (Or they took ME, as time passes I'm beginning to wonder...)
Well, James Rhodes is Tony Stark's best mate, personal pilot, sometimes employee, and, also the wearer of the formidable Stark-built War Machine armour.
Rhodey, then a U.S Marine Corps pilot, met Tony in Vietnam immediately after the billionaire, genius, inventor became Iron Man. After the war, Tony offered Rhodey a job at Stark Industries and they've had a long and turbulent friendship ever since.
War Machine, like Iron Man, is also a member of the superhero team, the Avengers, and the James Rhodes character has been featured in both the live action Iron Man movies and in I.M related animated series and movies.
For more about W.M see here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Machine
Although the War Machine armour is now most often associated with James Rhodes as its pilot, it actually was originally built by Tony Stark to wear in battle against a group of powerful foes back in 1992 in the Iron Man comic, issue #281. This particular action figure is a Hasbro 2010, 11 centimetre one, with 18 points of articulation, including the shoulder mounted weapons. It was #23 in the Marvel Universe line.
In the I.M comics Tony did later revisit Vietnam, and I'm certain he would have kicked back on China Beach during one trip or another. Rhodey, no doubt, would've spent R & R time there, by the same fictional logic. So it ticked several geek boxes for me to 'install' them there in a kind of hypothetical 'return trip'. (I'm sure it made sense to me at the time!)
Actually, I'm lucky we didn't spend much time at the Đà Nẵng beach on the day, the sand was hot enough that it felt like it could soften, if not melt, plastic! The sand, incidentally, as you can see, was remarkably fine. It doesn't look too out of scale with the toys. This really was a matter of just tossing the lads onto the beach and snapping a couple of fast piccys and hoping that it worked. A lot of the "I Am Iron Nam" photos were like that! It was actually ANZAC day when we were there (April 25th) which, if you're not an Aussie or a New Zealander, etc, translates into Veterans Day, or similar.
Friday, February 9, 2018, a meeting was held in Auvers-sur-Oise entitled, Iranian people’s uprising, and international call for freedom of prisoners of the uprising. Maryam Rajavi and a number of European MPs from UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Malta, Lithuania, Switzerland and Poland participated.
Climate change induced degradation of land could be the inheritance of inaction regarding climate change. This picture shows the quick process of land degradation near Kosh Agach village, Altai region, Russia. Dangerous wind and water erosion of land requires urgent measures on adaptation, specifically through aforestation and forest belts planting in this area, which is the aim of a USAID-funded project in this area.

Statement of support from Zack de la Rocha:
There is nothing criminal about a family’s search for dignified work and housing. There is nothing illegal about the need to alleviate hunger and find peace and security for people in their communities, or find adequate health care. In my mind these are rights that are universal, transnational, and non negotiable. Displaced by corporate globalization and war, the more than 12 million undocumented workers within the U.S. in search of those rights are not only denied the fruits of their labor, but are beaten away from the tree of enormous wealth and services that their sweat has watered for generations.
No amount of hate filled rhetoric, unlawful racist detentions, or tear gas can mask these essential truths that were made so clear by the millions workers themselves. People whose courage in the face of repression, and the potential loss of jobs , continue to pour out from the shadows and into the streets. Not only to heroically defend their rights and dignity, but have also revitalized the historical relevance of May Day, in which migrant workers of years past fought and died for the rights of all workers as they helped established the eight hour work day.
Since the movement lead by the undocumented has re-emerged, the inaction and silence from congress has become deafening. Though the neo-fascist seinsbrenner bill was for the most part defeated, the inability of congress to draft a new more humane and sensible legislative solution has left an extremely repressive and violent vacuum. Most notably the arrogant abuse of power exemplified by Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and his deputized vigilantes. His shame full application of the Homeland Security Departments ill conceived 287g agreements have forced entire communities of workers in Maricopa county to live in constant states fear and terror.
This series of prints designed by Shepard Fairey and Ernesto Yerena originated from photographs taken during the historic 2006 may day march and to me reflect some of that determination and dignity that is driving this most important assertion of workers rights in recent history. I want to thank both of them for they’re work thoughout the years. I also want to thank Marco Amador from Produciones Cimarron for his work and consultation on the project and for his work along side the communities themselves.
¡La Lucha Sigue!
Hopefully see you in the streets.

I am an immigrant. My ancestors left England and Scotland to come to this land to create a better life for themselves and their families. America is a land of immigrants. Ironically, the people’s who this land was inhabited by before “Americans” were Native Americans North and South American descent. I bring up this history not to stir up controversy or animosity, but to simply point out the complexity of who is entitled to live here. Something that is not complex and should not be controversial is the right of all humans to be treated like humans. People coming to America for the same reasons our ancestors did deserve human rights. The United States was created by immigrants and now our country needs immigration reform. I collaborated on this project with my co-worker Ernesto Yerena who shot the photos and helped with the graphics. Zach De La Rocha and Marco Amador provided input and support. All the proceeds from these posters go to creating materials for the May Day marches and donations for immigration reform organizations. Thanks for supporting human rights!

Artists Who Are Reshaping America’s Immigration Debate
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Sunday, July 1st, 2012
Given the debate recently, it might surprise you to know that illegal immigration from Mexico is actually down.
A report from the Pew Hispanic Center, a respected nonpartisan research group, found that migration from Mexico has come to a virtual standstill, and the number of illegal immigrants in the United States may even be in decline. But you wouldn't know that from the overheated debate, which makes it sound as if immigrants are coming in droves, committing kidnappings and then freeloading on food stamps.
When it comes to issues like Arizona's strict enforcement law, President Barack Obama's DREAM Act order, or arguments about border security, there are plenty of distortions, large and small, that enter the political discourse. PolitiFact, the national politics website of the Tampa Bay Times, has long been tracking and debunking inaccurate statements about immigration. We've found that immigration claims are especially prone to exaggerations and falsehoods. For example, 29 percent of all claims we check earn a False or Pants on Fire. But for immigration, 35 percent do. With that in mind, let’s find the border between truth and fiction.
Decapitated bodies in Arizona?
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled key portions of an Arizona immigration law that was considered one of the nation’s strictest. The court struck down provisions making it a crime for illegal immigrants to seek work and for local officials to jail illegal immigrants for acts that could lead to deportation. But it gave provisional approval to part of the law that required law enforcement officers to check immigration status if they had reasonable suspicions when stopping people for other reasons.
Supporters of the 2010 law said it was necessary because Arizona couldn’t afford the social costs of so much illegal immigration. It's true that illegal immigrants can enroll their children in public schools. When they show up with emergency conditions at hospitals, the hospitals are required to stabilize them.
But the law’s supporters -- including Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer -- went too far with several dramatic but unsubstantiated claims about crime. Brewer said the situation was so bad that law enforcement was finding decapitated bodies. "Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert, either buried or just lying out there, that have been beheaded," she said.
It was a powerful story, but it wasn't true.
Medical authorities in Arizona, though, told PolitiFact that in the vast majority of border deaths, the cause was exposure -- extreme heat in summer, extreme cold in winter -- not criminal violence. The remainder of deaths, fewer than 5 percent, were related to the process of human smuggling, such as auto accidents. PolitiFact rated Brewer’s statement Pants on Fire.
Another inaccurate talking point was that Phoenix was "the No. 2 kidnapping capital of the world."
We couldn’t find any evidence from law enforcement to prove this statistic. Meanwhile, private security companies told us that Phoenix was nowhere near the top of their lists for kidnappings. These firms were negotiating hostage releases from cities like Mexico City; Caracas, Venezuela; and Tegucigalpa, Honduras. When Arizona Sen. John McCain repeated the erroneous "kidnapping capital" statement in 2010, we rated his statement False.
‘Freeloaders’
Another theme we've seen: that illegal immigrants are freeloaders taking advantage of federal welfare programs. Those types of charges are often repeated in anonymous chain e-mails, on blogs and Facebook. "More than 43 percent of all food stamps are given to illegals," said a typical claim, this one from a Facebook post promoting "10 Illegal Alien Facts."
When PolitiFact researched the numbers, though, we found the claim ridiculously false and rated it Pants on Fire. About 46.4 million people receive food stamps, so 43 percent of that number would be just under 20 million. That significantly exceeds estimates for how many illegal immigrants are in the country. The Pew Hispanic Center put the number at 11.2 million in 2010.
On top of that, most social welfare programs bar illegal immigrants from receiving benefits and require proof of immigration status. That includes food stamps, as well as cash welfare assistance, Medicaid, and even the new health care law. It's true that some children of illegal immigrants qualify for benefits if they were born in the United States and are citizens. (Critics derisively call them "anchor babies.") But there aren't nearly enough of those types of children -- an estimated 4 million -- to account for 43 percent of food stamp recipients.
Another claim is that illegal immigrants dominate public housing run by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department, or HUD. "Nearly 60 percent of all occupants of HUD properties in the U.S. are illegals," the Facebook post said. That statement too earned a Pants on Fire, because it would require half of all illegal immigrants in the country to live in that housing. And again, HUD requires proof of legal status.
Frank Sharry, executive director of the pro-immigration group America's Voice, said that these kinds of anonymous attacks aren't typical of the public's views of illegal immigrants, but they are out there. "Polling shows that attitudes toward immigration are improving. But the people who don’t like it are really nasty," he said. "The haters have gotten more intense."

“When it comes down to it, government is simply an abandonment of responsibility on the assumption that there are people, other than ourselves, who really know how to manage things. But the government, run ostensibly for the good of the people, becomes a self-serving corporation. To keep things under control, it proliferates law of ever-increasing complexity and unintelligibility, and hinders productive work by demanding so much accounting on paper that the record of what has been done becomes more important than what has actually been done. [...] The Taoist moral is that people who mistrust themselves and one another are doomed.”

“You don’t need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It’s better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;
“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.”
Integrity is the key to freedom. It’s only your own truth that can ‘set you free.’ It’s perfectly fine if your truth doesn’t match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, as long as you’re both being true to yourselves, that’s all that matters.”

On National Day of Action, Hundreds of New Yorkers Say: Washington Must Move Now on Immigration Reform, Halt Deportations
Statewide Campaign Demands Fairness and Equality for Immigrants in New York and Nationwide
(New York, NY) On a warm spring day, New York’s Foley Square was packed with New Yorkers - old and young, workers and students, families and faith leaders, elected officials and labor, immigrants and their allies - united with one message: inaction is not an option. New Yorkers for Real Immigration Reform, the statewide campaign organized by the New York Immigration Coalition, coordinated the rally as part of a national “Day of Action” for immigrants’ rights. In Los Angeles and in New York, advocates made clear that Congress needs to move immediately to pass immigration reform, that the Administration must stop deporting over a thousand people every day, and that immigrant communities refuse to wait any longer.
With deportations reaching over 2 million in the last six years – approximately 400,000 deportations a year since 2008 – New York’s immigrants and their families have suffered immensely while our Federal elected officials have failed to reach a fair and workable solution to our broken immigration system. At the rally, speakers representing New York’s diverse communities urged the Administration and members of Congress to act immediately to pass immigration reform and bring an end to the deportations that have torn immigrant families apart. Throughout the rally, speakers shared the same sentiment: that our communities will not stop fighting until we pass comprehensive immigration reform that honors family, bolsters the economy, serves the public interest, and provides a path to citizenship for undocumented Americans –our patience is running out.

Bottom Center: Steven Choi emcees the rally
Steven Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, opened the rally by saying, “There is a crisis in our immigrant communities, with our families continuing to be ripped apart and hope torn asunder by destructive immigration policies. It is high time that Congress get on the right side of history and pass a bill that allows people to come out of the shadows and become citizens. It is high time that the Administration brings an end to the deportations that have decimated our communities. The level of inaction from Washington on the issue of immigration reform is a national disgrace. We will do what we can in the meantime to support our immigrant communities – like pushing forward municipal IDs for all New Yorkers regardless of status, or fighting for the New York State DREAM Act – but our Federal elected leaders must step up immediately and provide relief for the millions of immigrants waiting for solutions. Our communities will not - and cannot – simply wait any longer, and we demand that our politicians step up and show true courage and leadership.”
New York’s top elected officials, faith and labor leaders, immigrant advocates, and members of affected communities also came together to share stories highlighting the suffering that New Yorkers have faced in light of Congress’ stalemate.
“I am proud to stand side by side with advocates on this immigrant day of action, urging Congress to pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” said Councilmember Carlos Menchaca, chair of the Immigration Committee in City Council. “At the local level, I will fight for a reform package that doesn't undercut important immigrant community needs. Congress needs to come together to end the suffering of our immigrant families and put them on a path to real security.”
“Comprehensive Immigration Reform isn't some passing political issue, it is a movement that will define a generation,” said Byron Silva, assistant business manager at Laborers’ Local 78.
“Immigration reform has been used as a political football for long enough,” said Janet Baharona, a cleaner in Manhattan who is a member of 32BJ SEIU. “Congress’ inaction – and the silence of my Congressman Michael Grimm – is tearing families in my community apart and pushing more and more hard working immigrants into the shadows and into poverty. Voters will hold Rep. Grimm and accountable for his actions.”
“For too long House Speaker John Boehner has let a small faction in the Republican party hold immigration reform hostage,’’ said S.J. Jung, president of MinKwon Center for Community Action. "Our NY Republican Congress Members now have a chance to break this stonewall by signing on to the discharge petition. We are done with lip service and delaying tactics! The Asian American and immigrant communities across the nation demand real immigration reform now!”
"Immigration reform is just as important to American citizens as it is to those whom are undocumented," said Magdolyn Kawas, member of the Arab American Association of New York. "Many of us were born and raised here, and still our communities continue to suffer from a broken immigration system. My father came to the U.S. for a better future for his family but, because of his immigration status, we are forced to live apart. As someone impacted and as a voter, I'm calling on Congress to take action. We need real reforms that will reunite me with my father and bring thousands of families back together."
“While we are resolved more than ever to put pressure on the House to act on comprehensive immigration, we are seriously concerned by the devastating impact of the deportations that have been tearing apart our communities,” said Imam Souleymane Konate with African Services Committee. “Seizing on the anniversary of the historic April 10th rally, we are appealing to the administration help build families, but not to destroy them.”
"Immigration reform is absolutely necessary. As a Catholic and a DREAMer, I strongly believe that immigrants need to be treated equally and recognized as part of this nation in soul, heart and mind. Let's make humane reform a reality,” said Dennisse Pizarro, an undocumented youth with Cabrini Immigrant Services of NYC. “To congress and the white house: it is is said that we can make a change if we all work together"
"This is not a political issue for pundits to opine over, this is an issue of civil rights, respect, and basic human dignity. Washington has procrastinated for far too long, the need for reform is urgent and the time is now!" said Don Elisa-Garcia, member of La Fuente.

“When it comes down to it, government is simply an abandonment of responsibility on the assumption that there are people, other than ourselves, who really know how to manage things. But the government, run ostensibly for the good of the people, becomes a self-serving corporation. To keep things under control, it proliferates law of ever-increasing complexity and unintelligibility, and hinders productive work by demanding so much accounting on paper that the record of what has been done becomes more important than what has actually been done. [...] The Taoist moral is that people who mistrust themselves and one another are doomed.”

“You don’t need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It’s better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;
“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.”
Integrity is the key to freedom. It’s only your own truth that can ‘set you free.’ It’s perfectly fine if your truth doesn’t match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, as long as you’re both being true to yourselves, that’s all that matters.”

This shot previously uploaded in colour but i felt like this today.
Standing in the middle of the mighty river Murray at Goolwa South.
Drought and over allocation of water has killed off what used to be a mighty stretch of river, and the politicians just continue to talk, as they have for years.
Below is a re-inaction of taking this photo (keep in mind Nerd and I weren't getting along because we fought over where to put our tripods to take photos of the fireworks on 4th of July)
Jas ::tries to draw in the air with purple flashlight::
Nerd "Here, let me help you"
Jas "ok, thanks... Okay, ready, set, go!"
Nerd ::starts drawing in air::
(Nerd only thinks the shutter is on for 5 seconds)
Nerd ::keeps walking to the end of the bridge::
Nerd "Damn! How long is this on for?!!"
Jas ".........20 seconds!!"
Whoops... I felt bad... I should've told her how long the shutter was on for coz she kept walking and walking and it felt like forever.. haha. But! The photo came out! So yes, thank you Nerd for all your help ;p
I was browsing the National Grid website, and was pleased to find that they are using two of my Getty images on their website.

“The perfection of yoga, therefore, does not terminate in voidness or impersonalism; on the contrary, the perfection of yoga is attained when one actually sees the Personality of Godhead in His eternal form.”
― A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Three months ago I reported this to Haringey through the FixMyStreet website. So far there is no sign of a fix.
I will re-report this to Haringey with my new photo taken on 12 October 2016. Another three months of inaction risks this alley having a sheet of ice if we get a cold winter.
The deer herd at the Jay Property take cover in the invasive multiflora rose thicket on the site.
Invasive shrubs that have deliberately been allowed to proliferate for literally decades provide cover for these animals and protected places to breed. This increasingly destabilizing combination of deer and invasive plants and vines is reducing the biodiversity of flora and fauna on the Jay Property, threatening the ecology of this important place and negatively diminishing the health of surrounding residential lands. The invasives also provide cover for coyotes tracking the deer.
Chris Graseck, President of Friends of Marshlands, told Rye reporters "Because deer graze on native plants and avoid invasive species like the multi-floral rose, Graseck said the deer "make it very difficult to do any habitat restoration. If the county were to remove the invasives and reintroduce more native species, the deer would quickly devour the plants and consequently leave the property again vulnerable to invasives."
This is circular thinking and only promotes inaction allowing destructive invasives to spread further and crowd out fragile natives indefinitely.
Ironically these plants are identified, cautioned against, and removed by Westchester County Parks at its other properties but not in Rye. See Westchester County Parks brochure on invasive plants: www.nativeplantcenter.org/Invasive Brochure.pdf
Said JHC President Suzanne Clary, "The Jay Heritage Center respectfully disagrees with Chris Graseck and Friends of Marshlands. We agree with NY Audubon which believes that invasive species like the multiflora roses should be removed as part of a thoughtful stewardship and regular habitat management plan. Both shrub birds and grassland birds would benefit. It is important to send the right message to the public -- don't give up and propagate alien, non-native plants in your backyard - be proactive and save our endangered native species and the wildlife that need them."
ny.audubon.org/BirdSci_HudsonRiverValleyConservation-Deci...
"Maintain enough habitat and connect “open-space” – Grassland birds need relatively large fields (20 acres and larger, depending on the species and the landscape). A small grassland patch surrounded by open space, even if the surrounding fields are not grasslands, is better for grassland birds than a grassland surrounded by trees.
Clean up fence lines – Although hedgerows provide important habitat for some wildlife, along with other benefits such as erosion control and wind and snow breaks, even small trees and shrubs pose problems for grassland birds. A line of brush or trees delineates the edge of a grassland habitat patch to birds that prefer large grasslands for breeding. Also, hedgerows and brush lines attract weasels, raccoons, skunks, foxes, crows, and more—all species that eat grassland bird eggs and nestlings. Reducing the woody corridors that intrude into or border grasslands helps young grassland birds to survive.
Control shrubs and woody vegetation in the field – Abandoned fields make good grassland bird habitat, but only for a few years. Once shrubs and saplings are established the habitat quickly becomes unsuitable for grassland birds, and bringing it back into good condition becomes more difficult and more expensive. If a field is large enough to be used by grassland birds, a regular plan of mowing, haying, or grazing is important to keep it as grassland, but timing is crucial (see the following note)! Mowing each patch every 2 or 3 years, or a rotating fraction (1/3 or 1/2 of the patch) each year, is preferable to mowing annually.
Grassland habitat
Time mowing and hay-cutting to allow young grassland birds to escape – The nests, eggs, and flightless young of ground-nesting grassland birds are obviously vulnerable to the tractor wheels and mowing equipment. The following mowing/haying dates are ranked in order of value to breeding grassland birds from highest to lowest:
After 20 August only.
Once before 20 May, and once after 20 August. The following options will allow only limited successful breeding:
Once before 1 June.
After 20 July only.
Maintain a healthy mix of grass and other beneficial plants – Both native plants (such as goldenrod and some asters) and non-natives (knapweeds, mugwort, and honeysuckles) can easily spread in grasslands. Regular mowing (as soon as possible after the dates listed above) helps maintain healthy grasslands. For some invasive species, more aggressive techniques are needed, such as early spot-mowing (mowing only the affected “spot” in the field) to prevent flowering and spread of seeds, or other controls for heavy infestations.
When grazing, keep stocking rates low enough to maintain nesting cover – High-intensity grazing (including rotational grazing) removes the vegetation needed as cover for grassland bird nests, exposing the nests to severe weather and predators and also subjects nests to a greater risk of trampling. Maintaining “refuge patches” that are not grazed is also a critical component of any sound rotational grazing prescription that advertises wildlife benefits. Grazing at low intensities is also extremely useful for maintaining open, grassy fields, although occasional mowing (after the breeding season) is sometimes needed. "
ny.audubon.org/BirdSci_HudsonRiverValleyConservation-Deci...
"Maintain adequate patch size
Shrub habitats between 5-25 acres will provide habitat to a number of the at-risk species; in general, larger is better. However, smaller, isolated patches less than 5 acres can also provide habitat to some of the at-risk species.
Control woody vegetation
The mechanism and frequency of management you employ will depend on the current structure and species make up of the area you are interested in managing; tree species require more management compared to shrubs. On average, shrub habitats need to be managed every 5-10 years, sometimes less frequently.
If you have:
Existing shrub habitat without trees (i.e., areas with shrubs interspersed with openings of grasses and forbs), management may be required only every 2-4 years (sometimes less frequently) to prevent the openings from reverting to forest. Management options for maintaining these areas include mechanical mowing, selective removal of trees if they appear, prescribed burning, or grazing.
Existing shrub habitat with trees, trees should be removed by stumping and mowing every one to three years, perhaps coupled with an herbicide application to control trees that may attempt to resprout. The remaining area should be managed as noted above in #1.
An area dominated by trees, shrub habitat can be created by clear cutting and then managing the area every one to three years to remove regenerating late-successional, or shade-tolerant, trees while maintaining the shrub structure. These areas will initially require aggressive management using land clearing equipment such as a hydroaxe, Brown Brontosaurus, tree shear, or hand removal with chainsaws in smaller patches to remove larger unwanted trees, followed by less frequent action (e.g., every three to five years) to maintain the habitat. Once the shrub habitat is established, it can be maintained as noted above in #1.
Time your management activities so it doesn’t harm birds
Mowing should not be done during the nesting season (April 15 to August 15) and can take place without serious impacts to wildlife during late fall and winter. However, if trying to control invading tree species, mowing should take place as soon after August 1 as possible, because mowing during the growing season helps to minimize resprouting.
Control Invasives
Invasive plants should be removed because many are aggressive and will displace desirable native species if not controlled. For example, autumn olive and multiflora rose can become well established and dominant in two to three years."
BOTTOM LINE : The Jay Property in Rye needs a stewardship plan ( and there is one - an award winning, 2002 Cultural Landscape Report by Heritage Landscapes). Invasives should be removed. Appropriate meadow and shrub habitats can then be restored with native plants and the community can follow this example of management in their own backyards.
Westchester County already has an Executive Order in place which mandates the removal of invasives in County Parks and invasives have already been controlled in other parks like Ward Pound Ridge, Lasdon and Lenoir with great success along with reintroduction of native plants and shrubs, many of which are deer resistant.

“You don’t need validation or approval from anyone but yourself. Even if the entire world goes against, disagrees with or attempts to crush you, stand up for what you believe in, and stand up alone if you have to! It’s better to die while living your own truth than to live in the truth of another. Lord Krishna in the holy Bhagavad Gita pointed this out when he said;
“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.”
Integrity is the key to freedom. It’s only your own truth that can ‘set you free.’ It’s perfectly fine if your truth doesn’t match that of others because the experience of physical reality is a completely subjective one. It doesn’t make either of you wrong, as long as you’re both being true to yourselves, that’s all that matters.”

“Once you emerge from the state of absolute divinity, the self within you becomes Christ – it becomes Buddha – it becomes Moses – it becomes Krishna. The sage who emerges from the state of non-duality begins to perceive the self as Christ, not Christ as Christ – the self as Moses, not Moses as Moses – the self as Mohammed, not Mohammed as Mohammed – the self as Krishna, not Krishna as Krishna.”

“Narada Muni says - Whether you consider the human to be an eternal jivatma or a temporary body, or even if you accept an indescribable opinion that he is both eternal and temporary, you do not have to lament in any way. There is no cause for lamentation other than the affection which has arisen out of delusion. (1.13.44)”

“being attached to any one philosophy or religion
dwelling on moot differences and wanting to fit in
despite the path all are led Home in time
following an alternative pathway is certainly no crime
Krishna, Buddha, Allah or Zohar Kabbalah
devoted nonviolently, one is led to Nirvana
Hindu Sages, Zen Masters or Christian Mystics
many tongues, but identical truth spoken from their lips
mentioning Self or no-self or God is Father or Mother
according to their culture emphasizing one method or another
allness vs. nothingness, meditation vs. prayer
devotion in practice is all you should care
when Truth reveals itself you're beyond all conception
then not a single man-made word will hold any traction”
