January 11-22, 2023 - CBC doesn't seem to promote Men's Hockey leagues like AHL, ECHL, or Men's USPORTS hockey ? And Canada has just won both Golds at the recent 2023 international University Hockey FISU tournament.

Halifax, Canada Jan 2023 - This time around the IIHF Men's World Juniors hockey tournament is being held in Canada. No games were shown on CBC, and many Canadians were unable to watch Canada's finest male Junior hockey players incl Connor Badard play in their home Country and win the Gold for Canada ?
However, although CBC ignored and did not televise any of the IIHF Men's junior hockey games played, they were sure to make daily news reports and give a lot of air time focusing on an alleged past scandal that had involved a previous Men's IIHF Junior hockey team ? cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-...

However, CBC appears to have a different attitude when it comes to supporting and televising many pro sporting events played by the male athletes such as the Grey Cup, FIFA, Copa America international Men's soccer football and the Men's World Juniors, and so a huge Canadian fan base is not able to watch Canada's star male pro athletes like Acadia Axemen footballer Bailey Feltmate in the Grey Cup, or Nova Scotia's Jacob Shaffelburg in the Copa international Men's soccer tournament or Connor Badard in the IIHF World Men's Juniors hockey tournament ?

Bell media, is a proud Canadian Company ? It's Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas Nevada USA. Prior to the big game CTV has been flooding North American airways with ads to promote their full coverage of the upcoming American Superbowl and they will then broadcast 10 straight hours of uninterrupted prime time live T.V. coverage of this prime American sporting event on Superbowl Sunday 2024 ? However, on the other hand, back home in their home country of Canada, they don't broadcast anything at all, nothing (zero) blanco, zilch, silencio, not even 1 minute of CTV coverage of their own 2024 Canadian Grey Cup game for their fellow Canadians to enjoy ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/53523500175/in/datepos...
Feb 2024 - Halifax Nova Scotia,
Bell media and CTV have deafened and blindfolded many East Coast residents after eliminating many critical hours of local and community news programming in the Atlantic region ?
Recent Bell Canada Corporate decisions have now left many Maritimers in a vulnerable position ? East Coast Provinces appear to be the target of severe local live Newstime cancellations and these cut-backs have left many Maritimers without their daily Noon news hour updates that are broadcast everyday all week long ? ATV viewers will now be forced to tune into the other station (CBC) where CBC tends to run mostly world international news along with their select choice of the National News, along with lengthy live news conferences that are put on by the PM and other liberal party members ?
Aside from terminating the popular weekday ATV Noon hour news show, CTV has also downsized in half the very popular and iconic , 'ATV live at five' 5 P.M. local community news program, (prompting long time popular host Jason Baxter to seek early retirement) ? Adding to the devistating loss of this much needed news reporting that is traditionally broadcast every week, Bell will also now terminate all weekend Saturday and Sunday local news reporting currently running on ATV ? The cancellation and elimination of so much allotted local news airtime that is normally given to Atlantic Canadians surely threatens the safety and security of residents especially now that there will be a 24 hour local news blackout for 2 full days each and every weekend and even for as much as 3 consecutive days every holiday long weekend ? And so it seems that arch rival CBC has taken over prime time live local news reporting in the Maritimes and Bell Canada is blaming the Liberal Government's new Bill C-18 for them having to slash so many prime time hours of local and Provincial news coverage in the Maritimes ?

Is this a CBC Stanley Cup cruel joke ? June 2nd, 2024 Edmonton ? Fans are upset after CBC had broadcast the first 5 games of the Men's NHL Dallas vs Oilers series, and then, without warning and for no logical reason, CBC blacked out the critical and most important climactic final game that saw Edmonton win and gain entry into the Stanley Cup finals ? It remains unclear why CBC would do this ? Was it arrogance, or was it to be mean spirited, or was it a gender bias issue due to this being Men's pro hockey, or was it maybe a lesson given out to remind Canadians just who is running this Countries main media and who controls the programming ? v=iW0yzPhwC4s" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW0yzPhwC4s

Factory where girlfriend's father works is moving to a new city and laying off all workers, most have been there over 20 years.
An enjoyable trip to Starved Rock on Saturday. It's good to get the rust off the camera and shoot with friends after a bit of a lay off from Flickr activities.
We had 9 people on our outing! The group not only had me back but we saw BoyPhoto and RHITMrB. BoyPhoto doesn't live in the Peoria area any more but is an easy drive away from Starved Rock so she met up with us. We also had two "new" participants with Julie and Sandi. Sandi joined us in the pre-meetup search for a couple of new canyons and then had to leave us.
Finally.... the best part for us Canon folks was that we had 6 Canon's to 2 Nikon's!! Canon Rocks!
Some more from the second trip to Harperbury. Decided to lay off the processing, these have just had minor adjustments made.

The Rupes Recta at f15. Bit of noise starting creep in (around the top left corner) of this. Might have to run it through registax again and lay off the wavelets a bit.
Once employing over 400 workers, in December 2008 and laying off and closing, now sits uninhabited. The locals called it Elkin Furniture. It was owned by Vaughan Bassett in Galax Va but is now vanished. Probably a result of imports and free trade agreements. Black and White.
These are scenes in and around Fries Va next to the New River in Grayson County. Some are of the Washington Cotton Mills which vanished in 1989 laying off 1700 employees. Many are the mill houses left behind from the mills employees.

This is a rare sign to see. There are barely any restaurants, retail, or food stores hiring. The economy has taken a turn for the worst; therefore, not only are they not hiring, but they are laying off jobs as well, resulting in unemployment.

If your floaters are white, you might want to see a gastroenterologist. Or lay off the marshmallows. A delightful set of candles from, what, the 1970s probably.
Local 526 in Kings Bay, GA at the Naval Submarine Base. Many of the soon to be laid off workers are Veterans of Foreign Wars and Veterans of Military Service.
On July 26th Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Communications Workers of America (CWA) President Larry Cohen spoke to a very-well-attended "Bring Jobs Home" rally in San Francisco.
The event was organized by the California Labor Federation and the CWA. There was a very large crowd at Union Square, with a brass band warming up the crowd ("Solidarity forever, our union makes us strong!), and several enthusiastic speakers.The rally was one of many around the country, part of the AFL-CIO's Bring Jobs Home campaign.
In the past decade, more than 50,000 manufacturing sites closed and 6 million American manufacturing jobs were lost to offshoring. More than 500,000 call-center jobs have also been shipped out of the country! Our government actually gives tax breaks to companies that close factories here, lay off the workers, move the machines to other countries, then ship the same goods back here to sell in the same stores! That's called "trade." As a result there is pressure on wages, and people are afraid to speak up for themselves or organize unions for fear of losing their own jobs.

This woman must be stopped. She is a maniac and will end up killing someone.
In this shot, she had just driven up on the curb (in the dirt!!) to go around me on the right. Just to get 10 feet ahead on the road.
Wow. Lay off the meds lady.
From ‘Hengistbury Head’ by Barry Cunliffe, pub. Elek, 1978:
Barrow 1. A low mound 40 m in diameter, 1 m high, apparently undisturbed. Two small vessels of Bronze Age date were found near by in 1935. [This one now seems to form a green on the golf course ffs].
Barrow 2. A low mound, possibly a barrow. Unexcavated and now obscured by bracken.
Barrow 3 (Bushe-Fox, barrow 1). A large mound composed of gravel and sand measuring some 30 m in diameter and 2 m high. It appears that the barrow had been dug into in the eighteenth century, at which time an urn and some bones were found (Grose 1779). Bushe-Fox found another burial which the earlier excavators had missed, presumably because it lay off-centre. The deposit consisted of an inverted collared urn, which contained the cremated remains of an individual about twenty years old, an incense cup, two gold cones which would once have covered buttons of an organic material, a halberd pendant of amber and copper alloy and three small amber beads.
Barrow 4 (St George Gray, mound B). An oval mound, probably a mutilated round barrow. It was extensively excavated by St George Gray in 1919, but no trace of a burial was discovered. In 1958, however, part of a collared urn was found in a telephone cable trench dug along the fringe of the mound (Calkin 1964). In all probability this vessel represents a secondary burial, unless it was a fragment of the primary burial which had been discarded by earlier barrow diggers, or even displaced by the rabbits which St George Gray records had infested the mound.
Barrow 5 (St George Gray, mound A). A small barrow c. 18 m in diameter. The mound was excavated by St George Gray in 1919, but no burials were discovered.
Barrow 6 (Bushe-Fox, barrow III). A mound of gravel and sand 12.8 m in diameter and 1.2 m high. Nothing appears to have been found in the centre, possibly because of earlier robbing, but towards the periphery five separate deposits were encountered: four were represented by groups of potsherds, two of these being mixed with black charcoaly soil, the fifth consisted of an extensive patch of burnt oak without pottery. It seems probable that we are dealing with a number of secondary burials which had been extensively disturbed, probably by rabbits. The potsherds which can be reconstructed represent two collared urns, of which one now survives.
Barrow 7 (Bushe-Fox, barrow II). A mound composed largely of sand, measuring 30 m in diameter and 2 m in height. No central burial was found but a number of, presumably, secondary burials were recorded. One consisted of a cremation contained in a biconical urn of Cornish type, two others were cremations associated with collared urns. In addition two simple examples of southern food vessels were discovered, apparently without cremations. Bushe-Fox records two other vessels which disintegrated and eight separate pockets containing 'burnt matter'.
Barrow 8 (St George Gray, mound C). An apparent barrow examined by St George Gray in 1922. Gray found nothing and concluded that the mound was a natural formation.
Barrow 9 (St George Gray, mound E). A mound now 12 m in diameter but originally considerably larger. The barrow was examined by Gray in 1919, who records the discovery of a number of fragments of a pot of Bronze Age type, decorated with cord impressions inside and outside of the angular rim? The vessel cannot now be traced.
Barrow 10 (St George Gray, mound F). Barrow some 14 m in diameter excavated by St George Gray in 1919. The barrow had been extensively disturbed in previous excavations and no burial remains were found. However, near by, in 1953, a few metres to the west of the barrow, a bronze axe was found 60 cm below the surface. Though corroded, it is clearly of Early Bronze Age type and may well once have accompanied a burial either in a flat grave or beneath a barrow which has since been removed.
Barrow 11 (St George Gray, mound G). Barrow, 12m in diameter. The mound was excavated by St George Gray in 1919, who considered that it had already been extensively disturbed by previous excavation. No burial remains.
Barrow 12 (St George Gray, mound H). A mound 10 m in diameter and 0.7 m high, which was extensively excavated by St George Gray in 1919. He records the discovery of three vessels, a collared urn standing upright on its base, a small urn of unctious clay' of which only the base remained, and part of another vessel with an 'encircling ridge which proved to be very fragile. Of these only the collared urn is extant. All three seem to have been associated with patches of wood ash.
Barrow 13 (St George Gray, mound J). A mound 14 m in diameter and 0.5 m high, which was excavated by St George Gray in 1919. Gray records the discovery of a complete urn which had been inverted over a cremation. In all some 3 lb of bone were recovered, which were examined by Sir Arthur Keith who identified them as the remains of a woman more than forty years old. Fragments of at least five other pots, apparently without diagnostic characteristics, were noted. The finds cannot now be traced. In addition to the burials three 'burnt areas’ were recorded within the mound.

The orange lines indicate the extent of the ‘double dykes’ that have been lost to the sea. Barry Cunliffe cites Archaeologica Vol. 5 published in 1779 that contains a letter from the antiquary Francis Grose to Gustav Brander:
“A Description of an ancient Fortification near Christ-Church, Hampshire. In a Letter to Guftavus Brander, Esq: from Francis Grose, Esq; F. A. S.”
“The Western side of the harbour of Christ-Church is formed by a point of land, rising towards the sea to a bold head-land or cliff, called Hengist-bury head, i. e. Hengists, or the Stone Horse Hill; whether from some now forgotten story of the Saxon leader of that name, or from some fancied resemblance of a Horse; a conceit not uncommon in the neighbouring counties, of which the Giant in Dorsetshire, and the White Horse in Wiltshire, are well-known instances. The North side of this point is bounded by the harbour or conflux of the rivers Stour and Avon; both which empty themselves into the sea at the Haven's mouth.
About a mile West from the point is a strong entrenchment running cross the peninsula from the harbour to the sea, terminating at both ends with a kind of epaulement or circular re-turn. This work fronts the West, and was constructed to defend the possession of the point against the attacks from the interior country; and therefore evidently seems to have been thrown up by some invaders, who thereby secured the command of the harbour. Near the Northern extremity is a large barrow or tumulus, which was opened some few years ago, when an urn and some human bones were found in it.
This entrenchment consists of a double rampart, the inner or easternmost much the highest; between them is a ditch, the bottom whereof is below the level of the natural ground; the extent of this work measures nearly five hundred yards, including the returns. The inner rampart is about twenty-five feet high, and twenty yards thick at the base; the outer one, fifteen feet high, and about ten yards in thickness; the breadth of the ditch, taken from the tops of these ramparts, near twenty-five yards; the slope or talus of the ramparts, forms an angle of about forty-five degrees, with the plane of the horizon: there are three entrances as shown in the plan. West of this line are several sand hills appearing somewhat like tumuli.”

The blue lines indicate depressions / valleys that I thought might have been errors in the LiDAR scans but they do exist for real and are quite intriguing. I assume that they’re natural landscape features.

If you’ve read this far then you must be keen! In which case, I recommend that you visit historicengland.org.uk/images-books/photos/ and search on the word Hengistbury. You should stumble upon hi-res photographs of the J. Bushe-Fox excavations of 1911/12.
This one is just for fun and a good story. This is the very elusive and rare 8 eyed Northern Pygmy Owl.
Ya ever have one of them photo ops that go like this one. i have been frequenting the Lower Deschutes for the last 10 or 15 years and spends weeks of vacation there. In all that time I have never seen a pygmy owl, seen a great horned or two but never the Pygmy. So last week as we are sittin in camp and its near dark and I'm on my 4th or 5th bottle of aiming fluid this little dude flys right into camp and lands on a limb not 10feet away. We all jump up and rush to get a look and I grab the camera get a focus pull the trigger only to hear click ........click. Oh crap nothin like a 2 second exposure for a wildlife image. So I guess the lesson of the day here is if you're going to shoot slow exposure wildlife images use a tripod or lay off the aiming fluid.
Members of OAPSE 238 and allies rallied in front of the Madison Board of Education to protest the recent privatization of the bus service, which meant lay offs for about 50 members of OAPSE 238.
I managed to coax this little girl onto a desert rose, which was flowering, and got this weird shot. The flash was being diffused by the petals of the flowers.
I think this looks a little alien :D
I think I'll lay off macro for maybe a little while and concentrate on scenery and landscape!
18 people were later arrested for blocking Market at 9th st
There will be a vote today (Tuesday, November 24th) by the Board of Supervisors on using reserve funds to prevent lay offs.
