The stunning Rona II entering Portsmouth Harbour.
A 21m ketch used for the Rona Sailing Project.
She has a computer generated, high performance keel to maximize stability and sailing performance.
She can carry 21 people.
Every year, the Rona Sailing Project takes around six hundred young people to sea for a week of offshore sailing adventure and teamwork in our three purpose-built sail training yachts. Most people come to us with little or no sailing experience but nearly all find it a life-changing experience.
“Look overhead and you will see an aerial sculpture comprised of two hundred golden arms hanging from the ceiling. Each is a casting of the outstretched right arm of Tommie Smith (b. 1944), the American winner of the men’s 200-meter race at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.
“During the medal ceremony, Smith bowed his head and raised his black-gloved fist in an act of protest. Coming at a moment of turmoil in the United States, where unrest flared over the war in Vietnam and racial inequality, his gesture was an assertion of Black solidarity in the fight for human rights. Echoed by the American bronze medalist John Carlos, it inspired social causes around the world and irrevocably changed Smith’s own life.
“Glenn Kaino created ‘Bridge’ as part of an ongoing collaboration with Smith and as a reflection on the power of the athlete’s gesture nearly fifty years after it occurred. Nearly one hundred feet long, the sculpture reaches both backward and forward, acting as a bridge through time and space into the present. It serves as a monument to one person’s action and its aftermath, evoking the ways that even small acts can ripple through time and alter the course of history.” [From the accompanying text]
[Note: Tommie Smith’s personal effects from the 1968 Games are held at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.]

Visiting a local church we sat down in the shade to talk the community about their needs and wants for the future. A little girl all dressed up in her finest dress sat down next to me and I offered her some water. She drank it all in big gulps. After that she didn't leave my side for the whole afternoon.

Though presented in a ceramic rice pot, the rice didn't have the delicious, crispy, caramelized rice skin often found on the bottom of "bowl jei fans" but it did have a heaping pile of cooked meats, sausages and seafood. Sadly some of the sausages and the giant prawns were slightly overcooked (likely residual steam from the rice as we were making our way through the course). For my olive and raisin hating friends, the rice was studded with many little olives (some with pits) and plump large raisins, but neither imposed on the final product. A couple of the calms had grit, but it didn't distract much. The addition of croutons on top was an interesting added touch. I did find the bites of cha siu and mild flavoured Portuguese chicken (this version wasn't as strong as the stereotypical ones found at HK diners) a delight. I have to admit that there was a lack of fat slicking each of the loose grains of rice - a detail that's noticed likely by us who grew up with "lap mei fan" (fatty cured meat clay pot rice) and it's intoxicating aroma of sweet fat; instead this was more like a dry paella (vs inflated, moist, soupier rice). And although nice on it's own, the flavours tasted "more" with the pickled peppers and the soy dressing poured tableside.
So it really depends on what you're looking for. It's not lifechanging, but it is a good central dish and provides enough reason to have a group gather around.
For maximal enjoyment, the namesake Fat Rice would go well with a vegetable side dish. Even better, if it were shared between 3-4 hungry diners as it's quite substantial and doesn't actually leave you craving more with each subsequent bite.

Name: Louis Offie
Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 13 March 1907
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-105-Louis Offie
The Shields Daily News for 13 March 1907 reports:
"COLOURED MAN IN TROUBLE AT NORTH SHIELDS. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.
At North Shields Police Court today, Louis O. Fie (30), Seychille. a coloured man, was charged with having stolen a stone of flour and a quantity of yeast, valued at 1 s 6d, the property of Peter Spokes, refreshment house keeper, Clive Street, on the 12th ult. Prosecutor said the accused and another man came to his house and had tea, after which they left. When they had gone he missed a quantity of flour and yeast and gave information to the police.
E.S. Slater, manager of the Crane House, New Quay, said that last night the prisoner, in company with two other men, came into the bar and asked for a drink. They were drunk and were refused. It was found necessary to eject the prisoner, who was carrying a parcel of flour, which he threw down in a temper when outside. Evidence of the arrest having been given the accused was formally charged and pleaded not guilty. He said the flour was taken by his companion and it was his intention to return it.
Prisoner was also charged with indecent conduct in the presence of two young women in Dene Street last night. Evidence having been given, the accused emphatically denied this charge also.
There was a third charge against the accused of having indecently assaulted a young girl in Lawson Street. The Chief Constable reduced the charge to one of common assault. Prisoner said he was not guilty.
The magistrates found him guilty upon them all and committed him to 7 days for the theft, six weeks on the second charge and six weeks for the assault, one to follow the other. The Chairman (Lieut.-Col. Haswell) conveyed the thanks of the Bench to the two young women and the girl who had given evidence, for the public service they had rendered in coming forward to prosecute in such an unpleasant manner".
These images are a selection from an album of photographs of prisoners brought before the North Shields Police Court between 1902 and 1916 in the collection of Tyne & Wear Archives (TWA ref DX1388/1).

Drobo just changed my life.
If you're in Toronto, Jeff at www.photocreative.com/store/ has them in stock.
All I can say is, every serious photographer should have one of these for backup. It's so easy it's ridiculous. It does everything except pat you on the back and say "Good job".
You can put any size hard drives in there, but I went with two terabyte disks for now, because I'm backing up my entire collection. Slipping the disks in was as easy as putting bread in the toaster.
Gut Monkey's Leading X program facilitates life-changing experiences for adults in the bleeding disorders community. We canoed down the Green River in eastern Utah as it flows towards and joins the Colorado River. During our trip, the river was flowing at 15,000 cubic feet per second. When it was put in terms of a cubic foot being the size of a basketball, I was simply amazed! www.gutmonkey.com/leading-x
One-armed explorer John Wesley Powell led a couple of expeditions down these canyons nearly 150 years ago when he realized the value and beauty of the region. Without his life-long support of this area, many large cities in the southwest may not have flourished as they have.
Mary C. Rabbitt wrote about his motivation in the US Department of Interior's1969 publication of "The Colorado River Region and John Wesley Powell"
"Finally, he made up his mind. The region to the southwest was largely unexplored, represented on the Government maps as a blank. There were many and fabulous stories about the Colorado River which flowed through it, of explorers who had disappeared, of places where the river disappeared underground, and of great falls. The Indians were afraid of the river. They said that long ago a chief, who was mourning the death of his wife, had been taken by a god to visit her in the happier land where she then dwelled so that he would cease to mourn. The trail to this beautiful land was the canyon of the Colorado. On their return, lest others who were discontented with this life should attempt to reach heaven before their appointed time, the god had rolled a river into the gorge, a mad, raging stream that would engulf anyone who tried. But, Powell said, "the thought grew into my mind that the canyons of this region would be a book of revelations in the rock-leaved Bible of geology. The thought fructified, and I determined to read the book."

So this is the dress that makes me look like I'm ready to fly out to Hawaii and lay out on the beach :)
Which I actually am so ready to do, but still.
My stepmom says that it could be my YAY NO MORE AP dress, but I like the Hawaii idea better myself.
I felt so colorful all day long, hahaha :)
It was sunny, sorry for the squinting.
My anchor necklace is my favorite thing ever now, haha.
Im going to take more pictures outside now :)
And I went to the Holocaust museum today and it was lifechanging.
It was so sad, and now I'm going to do a photo shoot dedicated to the survivors and the victims that died.
1/3 of the Jewish population died in the Holocaust and one of the Pope's guys says that it didn't even exist.
Wow, we have some pretty ignorant people in the world.
Anyway, on a happier note:
I'm really happy about life right now.
I hope you are too :)
I love someone very dearly and I hope they know that I am there for them, even when I can't be physically next to him.
I'm there for you Body and Soul.
These relay games are at a camp for people with disabilities. I love the joy on their faces. This is my ministry, my life.

In rural Uganda people have very little experience of cameras. To put it mildly. If I wanted to get a portrait of someone the first couple of shots looked like the one on the left here. However by shot four or five things could look very different. As seen on the right. In this case I said, "Why do you look so serious?" And was greeted with a smile that would make the Joker envious.
This is Robert. He has a second hand clothes store where he also does repairs. Togheter with his chicken business, breeding and selling, he hopes to make enough money to find a wife and get married.

So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars'll be out, and don't you know that God is Pooh Bear? the evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what's going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty.

It puts me to sleep in moments.
Just like it will put me to sleep rather soon.
SAT today. The proctor screwed up our time so I didn't have enough time for my essay, but it is just a test, nothing lifechanging. Hopefully it will be my last one.
