Spent the better part of the morning bushwhacking Falls Creek with my good friend Mike Karr in search of some of that elusive Fall color or any worthy comps. This is the third segment of the creek i have bushwhacked and will continue my trek upstream until I reach Falls Creek Falls.
Here's a waterfall that Mike and I came upon with much delight. You would never know this exists unless you were on the creek because you cannot see or hear it from the trail. The Fall color on the creek was pretty much a bust but there were some interesting parts of the creek to enjoy. Please click on the image to view large if you care to do so. Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

A Comissão de Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovação, Comunicação e Informática
(CCT) , presidida pelo senador Zeze Perrella (PDT-MG), aprovou (03/06) requerimentos do senador Aníbal Diniz (PT-AC) para a realização de atividades relativas à avaliação do Programa Nacional de Banda Larga.
As atividades pertencem ao plano de trabalho já aprovado pela comissão. O PNBL foi eleito pela comissão como a política pública governamental a ser avaliada ao longo do ano. Instituído em 2010, prevê a massificação da oferta de internet de banda larga no país até 2014.
O primeiro requerimento estabelece que servidores das áreas da Consultoria Legislativa do Senado, da CCT, dos gabinetes de Aníbal Diniz, de Walter Pinheiro (PT-BA) e da Liderança do PT, assim como uma equipe da Secretaria de Comunicação Social do Senado acompanhem as atividades do plano de trabalho. Os servidores serão nomeados posteriormente.
No cronograma estão previstas reuniões externas com representantes da sociedade civil, parlamentares e outras autoridades, sendo uma em Rio Branco (AC), no dia 14 de agosto e outra em Salvador (BA), no dia 28 de agosto. Também está agendada uma visita à Empresa Visiona Tecnologia Espacial Ltda., destinada a coletar informações sobre o desenvolvimento e construção do Satélite Geoestacionário Brasileiro, em 11 de setembro. No dia 23 de setembro, a comissão deve fazer uma audiência pública para debater o tema.
A comissão aprovou mais três requerimentos extra-pauta de Aníbal Diniz — dois para solicitar informações ao ministro das Comunicações, Paulo Bernardo, e ao Tribunal de Contas da União sobre a execução do PNBL. O outro solicita informações ao ministro-chefe da Casa Civil, Aloizio Mercadante, sobre a composição do Comitê Gestor do Programa de Inclusão Digital (CGPID) e suas atividades para acompanhar o PNBL.
Transferências societárias
A CCT aprovou ainda um requerimento do senador Zezé Perrella (PDT-MG), presidente da comissão, e do senador Flexa Ribeiro (PSDB-PA), que solicita informações ao ministro das Comunicações sobre a transferência direta da concessão outorgada à Rádio e Televisão Record S/A para a Rádio Catedral de Sorocaba. A concessão é para explorar, sem direito de exclusividade, serviço de radiodifusão sonora em ondas médias em Votorantim, São Paulo.
Os senadores querem saber a data de publicação do ato de outorga do serviço; a data de publicação do ato que tenha autorizado a última alteração no controle societário da entidade que recebeu a outorga; os números de registro nos cadastros oficiais de pessoas físicas ou jurídicas de todos os que passaram a ter alguma participação no capital da entidade e a comprovação da nacionalidade dessas pessoas.
Para Flexa Ribeiro, a CCT deveria também aprovar as transferências societárias de grupos empresariais que exploram serviços de radiodifusão. Atualmente, essas transferências apenas precisam ser comunicadas ao Congresso Nacional.
- Nós discutimos isso há alguns anos, de que essas transferências das cotas de um grupo empresarial para outro deveriam passar também pela CCT. Não somente a outorga original, mas todas as transferências.
Seria um ato de necessária aprovação por parte da comissão. É como se outorgasse uma nova concessão para um novo grupo – explicou Flexa.

Mars, Jupiter and Venus are very close to each other in the early morning skies this weekend. This was taken last night just before dawn when Mars was about two and a half degrees away from Jupiter and Jupiter was about one and a quarter degrees away from Venus. These planets will continue to dance around each other for the next few weeks but over the next few days they will be at their closest apparent distances. Tomorrow in the early morning hours before sunrise Venus and Jupiter will be at their closest for this particular conjunction at about one degree away from each other, about double the size of the width of the full Moon.

Description The shadowy outlines of the terrain in Vesta's northern region are visible in this image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft. The image comes from the last sequence of images Dawn obtained of the giant asteroid Vesta as it departed the giant asteroid.
The view looks down at Vesta's north pole, which is in the middle of the image. When Dawn arrived in July 2011, Vesta's north pole was in darkness. After more than a year at Vesta, the sunlight has now made it to Vesta's north pole.
This image was taken by Dawn's framing camera on Aug. 25, 2012 PDT (Aug. 26, 2012 CET). Dawn escaped from Vesta's orbit on Sept. 4, 2012 PDT (Sept. 5, 2012 CET).

Spacecraft operations team manager for the Cassini mission at Saturn, Julie Webster, rips up the final contingency plan for the Cassini mission, Friday, Sept. 15, 2017 in mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Since its arrival in 2004, the Cassini-Huygens mission has been a discovery machine, revolutionizing our knowledge of the Saturn system and captivating us with data and images never before obtained with such detail and clarity. On Sept. 15, 2017, operators deliberately plunged the spacecraft into Saturn, as Cassini gathered science until the end. Loss of contact with the Cassini spacecraft occurred at 7:55 a.m. EDT (4:55 a.m. PDT). The “plunge” ensures Saturn’s moons will remain pristine for future exploration. During Cassini’s final days, mission team members from all around the world gathered at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, to celebrate the achievements of this historic mission.

The Limited Edition Ariel and Eric Doll Set, #12 of 6000, in their display case, with the clear acrylic cover removed. None of the factory restraints have been removed, but I have cleaned up Ariel's face a bit, and cut off a loose thread from her blouse. Photographed using built-in camera flash.
My pre-ordered Ariel and Eric Doll Set, from the Disney Fairytale Designer Collection. It arrived on October 15, 2013, and I was thrilled to see that they are numbered #012 of 6000! It matches the number of the other doll sets in the pre-order, except that Snow White and the Prince is #4508 of 6000. There are some slight scratches on the gold nameplate and on the acrylic cover of the display case, but they are very minor, and don't diminish the look of the set. Ariel's head is posed a bit awkwardly, but I'll see if I can adjust it a bit without undoing any of the shipping restraints. There is also a loose thread hanging from the left sleeve of Ariel's blouse. Otherwise, Ariel and Eric look very beautiful, and in perfect shape. I'm so happy that I have them after failing to get them in the in-store raffle earlier in the day.
I'm not going to debox the dolls in this set, but I am going to take photos of it boxed, with the cover sleeve off, and with the clear acrylic cover off, to show off the dolls as much as possible without actually removing them from their factory restraints.
