I wasn't sure how stable they'd be, so I left the legs off until just before the party. Turned out I didn't have to worry, they were very secure.

With a dad that's a little too fond of bringing out the camera, it's not strange that the kids sometimes gets a kind of camera fatigue.
This is what the youngest do when that happens. The upside is that even this will be a cool photo to have in his album when he grows up.
Birthday dinner last night was very nice. She was given amazing gifts this year...best ever because she's the big 13.
Pete and I got her a cell phone (that she's been begging for and whining about how she's the last kid in her school who doesn't have one...but we got it for her for more important reasons than that and she knows not to abuse it).
Her father got her a new bicycle, clothes, a beautiful necklace that suits her so well, and gave me money to help furnish her room with some nicer stuff. Yay!
My parents got her a laptop!! It was so cool to see her reaction...she had no idea and was SO excited. It is a Lenovo my dad found a deal on and it is needed...she has an old desktop that barely functions so she is always on my laptop and she needs a computer more and more often for school. This is good for everyone. :-)
She is most interested in making movies with it, though. Hahaha.

At Casey Elementary School on Camp Casey Jan. 14, students and parents take part in the school's second annual Math Madness workshop, which aimed to build math proficiency by using games and other activities to make the subject enjoyable for youngsters. In one of those activities, for example, competing groups had to use 20 strands of uncooked spaghetti and about a yard of masking tape to create the tallest possible structure that would support a marshmallow for at least 30 seconds without collapsing. - U.S. Army photo by Pfc.

Illustration by Henry Holiday (cut by Joseph Swain) to Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, 1876.
Why should a peaceful activity like lace-making (see below or lines #277 to #280 of the Snark) have "proved an infringement of right"? This image may have been used to symbolize dissection in context with C. L. Dodgson's (aka Lewis Carroll's) involvement in the vivisection debate.
053 The last of the crew needs especial remark,
054 Though he looked an incredible dunce:
055 He had just one idea--but, that one being "Snark,"
056 The good Bellman engaged him at once.
057 He came as a Butcher: but gravely declared,
058 When the ship had been sailing a week,
059 He could only kill Beavers. The Bellman looked scared,
060 And was almost too frightened to speak:
061 But at length he explained, in a tremulous tone,
062 There was only one Beaver on board;
063 And that was a tame one he had of his own,
064 Whose death would be deeply deplored.
065 The Beaver, who happened to hear the remark,
066 Protested, with tears in its eyes,
067 That not even the rapture of hunting the Snark
068 Could atone for that dismal surprise!
069 It strongly advised that the Butcher should be
070 Conveyed in a separate ship:
071 But the Bellman declared that would never agree
072 With the plans he had made for the trip:
073 Navigation was always a difficult art,
074 Though with only one ship and one bell:
075 And he feared he must really decline, for his part,
076 Undertaking another as well.
077 The Beaver's best course was, no doubt, to procure
078 A second-hand dagger-proof coat--
079 So the Baker advised it-- and next, to insure
080 Its life in some Office of note:
081 This the Banker suggested, and offered for hire
082 (On moderate terms), or for sale,
083 Two excellent Policies, one Against Fire,
084 And one Against Damage From Hail.
085 Yet still, ever after that sorrowful day,
086 Whenever the Butcher was by,
087 The Beaver kept looking the opposite way,
088 And appeared unaccountably shy.
And if that was not enough:
273 The Boots and the Broker were sharpening a spade--
274 Each working the grindstone in turn:
275 But the Beaver went on making lace, and displayed
276 No interest in the concern:
277 Though the Barrister tried to appeal to its pride,
278 And vainly proceeded to cite
279 A number of cases, in which making laces
280 Had been proved an infringement of right.
421 But the Barrister, weary of proving in vain
422 That the Beaver's lace-making was wrong,
423 Fell asleep, and in dreams saw the creature quite plain
424 That his fancy had dwelt on so long.

Due to the effect of El Nino driven shortage of rainfall, Tigray Region has been affected by severe shortage of drinking water for both people and livestock. The effect was manifested through declining of groundwater levels, drying of water wells and increased malfunctioning of water supply schemes. The main water supply sources for domestic consumption is groundwater source, which is subject to fluctuation of rainfall. ©UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Zerihun Sewunet
This was taken at Slate Run Living Historical Farm in Canal Winchester, Ohio. This is an 1880s working farm that is staffed with costumed volunteers who take care of the daily tasks of the farm. Visiting is like stepping back in time as you can watch as the volunteers plow the fields, tend the gardens, care for the livestock, and can and preserve the crops.
Salted between the leaves, mixed up a rice porridge with chili flakes and veggies, then slathered it between all the leaves and packed it into a container. It's ready to eat right away and can be eaten for weeks.

The Disaster
On the evening of 25th October 1960 a number of barges were making their way up river from Avonmouth to Sharpness. Amongst them were two vessels operated by John Harker Ltd. of Knottingley, Yorkshire. The WASTDALE H had been built locally at Sharpness Shipyard in 1951. She was a tanker barge and was carrying a load of petroleum. The ARKENDALE H had been built by Richards Ironworks of Lowestoft in 1937 as a dumb (unpowered) tanker barge. She had been converted to a motor barge in 1948 and was later lengthened. Her cargo was Britoleum black oil, a heavy oil which required her to be fitted with heating coils in her tanks to keep the oil liquid.
The barges hit thick fog near Berkeley Power Station and the strong incoming tide was running at 5 knots making it difficult to manoeuvre the vessels for their approach to the lock at Sharpness. Both barges were swept past the lock entrance and the found themselves by the old, disused dock entrance further upstream. The two barges came abreast and the skippers found it impossible to separate them. Whilst they struggled to break them apart they drifted yet further upstream until the port bow of the WASTDALE H hit pier 17 of the bridge. The bridge shook with the impact and the WASTDALE H turned onto her port side and began to sink. As pier 17 gave way under the pressure the two spans it supported fell onto the barges causing the WASTDALE H’s petroleum cargo to ignite and explode. The ARKENDALE H’s cargo of black oil was also ruptured and with the help of the petroleum it too ignited leaving the entire expanse of the river blazing. The two barges drifted on up river before grounding on the Ridge Sandbank. Skipper George Thompson of the ARKENDALE H managed to make it ashore. His engineer Jack Cooper also survived but not before he received a severe back injury sustained by an encounter with the still-rotating propeller of the sinking ARKENDALE H. Skipper James Dew of the WASTDALE H was the only other survivor. The other five crew members were missing.
The next morning the smouldering wrecks of the two barges were left high and dry on the sand with the WASTDALE H standing on her port side. On the following tide she settled back to en even keel. Attempts were made to pump out and search both vessels for the missing crew members but their inaccessible position made the job difficult. All five bodies were later found at various locations along the Severn. On 30th October 1960 the Army blew holes in the bow and stern of both barges to prevent them refloating. They remain there to this day, submerged at high tide and exposed at low tide.
On the night of the disaster the Fairfields workers engaged on the strengthening of the bridge decided to take an early meal break in order to listen to the Henry Cooper v Karl Muller boxing match on the wireless at Severn Bridge Station. Had they not done so the death toll would have been considerably worse as the span they were working on was one of the two that fell.
Within a month of the disaster the Western Region of British Railways had prepared an outline plan to repair the bridge. Pier 16 would be repaired and a new concrete pier would be constructed to replace pier 17. A single, welded mild steel span would then be placed across the top, supported in the middle by the new pier. The projected cost for this was £85,000.
It was found that pier 16 was significantly damaged and was leaning towards the Sharpness bank. It was therefore decided to erect a timber trestle beneath span 15-16 and the contract to do this was awarded to Peter Lind & Co. Ltd.
The bridge suffered further mishap on 17th February 1961 when the tanker barge BP EXPLORER capsized and struck pier 20 causing a further £12,740 worth of damage.
Peter Lind & Co. Ltd. hired the twin floating crane TWEEDLEDUM & TWEEDLEDEE to assist with the erection of the trestle. On the 14th April 1961 the TWEEDLEDUM & TWEEDLEDEE broke away from its moorings on a flood tide and drifted into the bridge damaging the dolphins on pier 20. The crane jib also struck the underside of the bridge. This time the damage was estimated at £6,000."
