The Burt Line was an unfinished railroad intended to cross NY state, and competed during construction with the West Shore & Buffalo Railroad. The 2014 Oneida Railway Company book discusses the unfinished line in some detail, and ironically states that construction of the line had been halted around this general vicinity due to an embankment that the West Shore built just west of Quality Hill Rd. (Now Beebe Bridge Rd.) Apparently both railroads surveyed land, and even did some grading, in some places side by side. I theorize that many parts of the West Shore may have been built at a later date over the proposed route of the Burt Line. From what I recall in the book, the two railroads went to court, but neither were found responsible, and construction on the Burt Line ceased not long after, due to the death of General Burt; the mastermind of the proposed railroad. I have no clue how much of the Burt Line was actually built, surveyed, or graded. It is clearly evident here, and on the north side of the old West Shore right-of-way at the end of Stone St. and Lenox Avenue in the city of Oneida, NY. Interestingly, I did see traces of stone, cinder, on the embankment, and a fence on the south side of this grade, typical in design of those built by the railroads. This made me wonder if the West Shore ever used this as a siding during the early days of operations? Perhaps during construction, or until the NYC take over?

Unfortunately I didn't go round the back so don't know the trim level or whether it's a 10 or 20 valve model.
High Barnet Underground Station (Northern Line), 1 May 2023. The station is the terminus Finchley Central – High Barnet branch originally proposed by the Edgware, Highgate and London Railway (EH&LR) but construction was left to their successor, the Great Northern Railway, who completed it in April 1872, when the station opened. It is a good example of a (little altered) GNR country station although a new ticket hall has replaced the original station building, though still standing.
In 1935 the London Passenger Transport Passenger Board launched its Northern Heights Project which included the LPTB take-over of the LNER Finchley Central – High Barnet branch for an expanded Underground service. The first Northern Line train (to High Barnet) served High Barnet in April 1940. LNER passenger services continued until March 1941.

This Coptic bound book features beautiful handmade Indian cotton paper, and chiyogami Japanese paper. The diagonal stitching I created by drawing out the pattern I wanted finished on the spine with a pencil, then punching all the sewing stations from the back (the "mountain peak").
A little bonus is the lined pages - I figured out that I could just print them on my computer!
The journal is filled with 160 pages of 60lb acid free sketch paper.

'Making war against terror a success'- Island Editorial
"Democracies, the world over have had to respond to threats from both within and without in a similar manner or concede victory to evil forces and perish in the process. Sri Lanka has, after years of oscillation between the two alternatives, finally opted for the former. Tiny as Sri Lanka may be in size, it has taken on the 'most ruthless terrorist organisation' in the world" says the Island in its Editorial published, today, Sep 2.
"The only way to judge the success of a war is to see if it makes life better for civilians after its conclusion. Land may be liberated from the clutches of a terrorist outfit through military means, terrorists killed and the writ of the government re-established in some parts of the country where it had ceased to run, but, if civilians do not feel their lot has improved at the end of the day, the war has failed", the editorial further stated underscoring the need to address the fundamental needs of the affected communities.
Following are excerpts of the editorial published in the Island daily, Tuesday, 1 Sep.
War is hell as General Sherman famously said after the American Civil War. All wars in this world have been fought at the expense of the unarmed civilians on the side of both the victor and the vanquished. War crimes usually become the crimes committed by the vanquished and not the victor, who becomes the judge, the jury and the executioner.
Military operations are like surgical operations: However desirous we may be of avoiding them, there come times when we have to face them whether we like them or not. The world was without an alternative to war in dealing with Hitler. Unless that psycho had been stopped in his tracks, albeit with some delay, he would certainly have made Jews of all the races in this world, save the one he favoured. Had the democratic world adopted the same appeasement policy as some nations that chose to lick his blood-stained Nazi boots in return for non-invasion and allowed him to do as he pleased, today's world would have become one massive concentration camp equipped with state-of-the-art gas chambers.
Democracies, the world over have had to respond to threats from both within and without in a similar manner or concede victory to evil forces and perish in the process. Sri Lanka has, after years of oscillation between the two alternatives, finally opted for the former. Tiny as Sri Lanka may be in size, it has taken on the 'most ruthless terrorist organisation' in the world. Ironically, although Sri Lanka is doing exactly as the champions of global democracy are doing elsewhere in dealing with terror, and its victory against the LTTE is sure to send a chilling message to other terrorist outfits threatening global peace, the self-appointed custodians of global democracy are all out to throw a monkey wrench in the works on the pretext of a humanitarian intervention to let the cornered Tigers off the hook. They, ably assisted by the pro-LTTE INGO/NGO lobby, are preparing the grounds for invoking the so-called R2P (Responsibility/Right to Protect).
The Tigers are on their last legs, having plunged the country into war in 2006. And the biggest challenge before the government is not capturing Kilinochchi or Prabhakaran but denying those members of the international community conspiring to help him by stopping the war an opportunity to achieve their goal. They are eagerly waiting for a humanitarian catastrophe in the Wanni to intervene and the LTTE is doing its damnedest to increase collateral damage and create conditions for that.
The only way to judge the success of a war is to see if it makes life better for civilians after its conclusion. Land may be liberated from the clutches of a terrorist outfit through military means, terrorists killed and the writ of the government re-established in some parts of the country where it had ceased to run, but, if civilians do not feel their lot has improved at the end of the day, the war has failed.
There are many backers of the on-going military offensives against the LTTE. But, sadly, among them, there is hardly anyone willing to make a contribution towards ameliorating the plight of the war-displaced, on whose wellbeing the success of war hinges. Various activities being done at a massive cost to boost the morale of the armed forces, who are already doing extremely well, should also be used to mobilise the public to help the war-torn populace. That is not a task that should be left entirely to a government. There must be popular participation in providing relief to the war displaced. Relief must flow into the Wanni from the four corners of the country!
Meanwhile, it is reported that the army has at long last released a small portion of land in the high security zone in Jaffna to the people for paddy cultivation. That is the way forward. Land liberated from the terrorists must be returned to the rightful owners without undue delay to bring it under the plough so that civilians will rest assured that they will gain from the defeat of terrorism. The Rice Bowl of Mannar and other fertile land which the army cleared of the LTTE must be handed back to the people as early as possible. That will be a blessing not only for the indefatigable industrious farmers in that part of the country but also for the whole country. For, the cultivation of those lands will give a boost to the national food supply.
The LTTE has got what it asked for and its terror machine is giving way under military pressure. But, the success of war-let it be repeated-consists in the ending of the civilians' suffering and winning their hearts and minds. Those who want the LTTE crushed militarily to clear the path to peace cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility for helping the war displaced. Will they rise to the occasion?

Will you Draw The Line with Us?- Photos by Damien
Conway.
Citizens from Seattle, Bellingham and beyond came together for a
coordinated national day of action to Draw The Line against fossil
fuel foolishness. Inspired by the beautiful Salish Sea
that unites our bio-region, activists are organizing to protect what
they love, building the future they envision, and stop dead in the
tracks the climate cooking corporate criminals threatening our
children's future. Native allies successfully resisting tar sands oil
extraction and transport through their ancestral lands and Youth
fighting for generational justice provided participants with the moral
compass and courage to take our activism to the next level with deepened
commitment and conviction. Honored were the 14 Montana's
who escalated resistance action by engaging in non-violent civil
disobedience sitting on the coal train's railroad right-of-way, an
escalation of the fight since last year's week-long coal export action.
From the plains, to the ports, we the people are united. We are engaged
in a struggle of paradigms, on one side is Goldman Sachs, Warren Buffet
and fossil fuel companies like Arch Coal, Peabody Energy, and Trans
Canada who profit through disregard for life and all things sacred
through uncaring extraction, exploitation, and domination. On the other
side is We The People people non-violently, steadfastly,
defending in a beautiful expression of what we love a world worthy of
passing on to future generations. Bill McKibben and Seattle Mayor Mike
McGinn who also spoke reminded us that when the People Lead, the Leaders
Will Follow. Draw The Line by joining those who share
your values and becoming active members of the numerous groups who made
this event possible: 350Seattle, Rising Tide Seattle,
Backbone Campaign, and Plant For The Planet
Seattle. Allies also present and whose contributions made the
event possible: Sierra Club,
Friends of the Earth, Washington Fair Trade Coalition,
Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., member of the Yankton Sioux &
Chickasaw Nations, and the Four Worlds International Institute Chairman;
Sundance Chief Rueben George of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation in B.C.
I went to an IceHogs game on Sunday afternoon. The Hogs were playing the Charlotte Checkers for the first time (the Checkers 1st year in the league ). The game didn't end with a win for the Hogs, they lost 4-2 to a very good team. I was able to catch this goal as it snuck over the line.
