The Barnsdale tunnel is a very straight 1226 yards in length, and was opened in the 1880's. The last passengers would have peered out into the dark in 1932, although trains steamed through here until 1959. This is part of the Hull and Barnsley Railway. You may know know this railway from other tunnels, such as Weedley, Sugar Loaf and the big monster Drewton Tunnel, all nearer to Hull. It's a nice one as local residents objected to it being fenced off. There are three capped airshafts in the Barnsdale tunnel. Most of the brickwork in here is in fairly good nick, although in parts bricks have fallen away.

According to Wikipedia, The Drum Tower (Gulou) was built in 1272 during the reign of Kublai Khan, at which time it stood at the very heart of the Yuan capital. At that time it was known as the Tower of Orderly Administration (Qizhenglou). In 1420, under the Ming Emperor Yongle, the building was reconstructed to the east of the original site and in 1800 under the Qing Emperor Jiaqing, large-scale renovations were carried out. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang removed the official status of the towers, replacing them with western time-keeping methods, and renamed the building "Mingchilou". In the 1980s, after much repair, the Drum Tower was opened to tourists.
The Drum tower is a two-story building made of wood with a height of 154 feet (47m). In ancient times the upper story of the building housed 24 drums, of which only one survives.

Tragedy at Six Bells
By David John Withers, Brynmawr
My father worked in the colliery all his life and I sort of followed him into the pit. I went to work in Six Bells Colliery at 17 years of age.
When I first went on the 0.18 coal face as a collier's helper I was introduced to my 'batty' Reggie Poe who showed me the tools we were using and two chalk marks 15 yards apart on the coal face. This was our working place, 15 yards long by 4-foot-6 deep by 5 feet high. I thought 'bloody hell' - it seemed a huge amount of coal to shift.
Although the other coal faces in our district were more modern with hydraulic roof supports, we were still using the older friction posts and linked bars. I've still got the scars where one of the bars came down on me!
We had quite a few problems with gas on the 0.18 coal face and the dust was killing. At times the conveyor would start up and you couldn't see each other until the dust settled down.
As boys we often refused to go onto the face because of the amounts of dust there - being youngsters we stuck together even when the officials threatened to send us home. It wasn't much of a threat as I was only earning about £6 odd!
I had been working about two years when the explosion happened. I was working on the 0.18 face at Six Bells on the 'turning shift' and arrived at the colliery on the bus to see the place in turmoil and heard that an explosion had happened. As the explosion had occurred at our place of work, we offered to go down and help as we knew the place, but the Rescue Brigade had it under control and wouldn't let us go down.
It's hard to say my feelings about it all. We knew there was gas there and they said a spark had set it off. I had mostly enjoyed the colliery up to then. I remember four of the men who died - I used to give them snuff with powdered bark mixed in as a joke - there was a good spirit amongst the men at the pit.
Once the explosion had happened it put me off. I finished and I put my notice in soon after. I was too young to lose my life in the colliery. If I had been working the day shift that week it would have been me. The explosion opened my eyes to the dangers and I went into the construction industry instead - I was always good with my hands. The pit made me grow up.
The deaths of 45 men killed 50 years ago in a colliery explosion have been remembered with a service at the site.
A gas explosion ripped through the Six Bells colliery near Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent at 10.45am on 28 June 1960.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, led a service of remembrance at the site.
He also unveiled a memorial to the tragedy, a 20m high sculpture of a miner by Sebastian Boyesen.

As copied from this post on Accessify:
Ever the apologist, here I am again justifying lack of activity on this site (and some others) over the last year or two (the list of other time-suckers can be found here). What's the justification this time? Well, it's a good one.
While travelling around the globe a couple of years ago, I started doing some technical editing for Sitepoint. It was a great way to earn a bit of money to pay my way while not getting in the way of moving from place to place - no bar work or fruit-picking for me! Much of this editing work was carried out in the back of my van in the late hours while my wife-to-be snoozed. When I returned to UK after travelling, I was approached about some more potential writing work. Despite the fact that I knew I had an extremely busy year ahead of me, somehow I felt brave enough to take it on. Over seven months, while dealing with two house sales, buying a new house and making tentative wedding plans, I spent many evenings working on this project. Today, for the first time, I saw the evidence that it was finally coming to fruition - Sitepoint have added the book to their 'coming soon' section.
So, what's the book about?
At this point, it might be worth re-reading this post about the poor state of many beginner web design books on the market. The reason for my trip to the book shops was to really get a feel for what's out there and to make sure that I was on track with what I was writing. I couldn't have been happier at how bad it was - it made me realise that what I had started writing for Sitepoint was much needed and much overdue.
Who is this book aimed at?
Well, chances are it's not aimed at you. As much as I'd like to say it's a cutting edge book about CSS tricks that you and I love to peruse, or an accessibility book with a slightly different angle than those currently out there, it's neither. This is what it is:
It's a book that you can give to your web newbie mother/sister/auntie
It doesn't presume any foreknowledge of HTML or ownership of any expensive/fancy web authoring software (nor does it suggest going out and buying any)
While it's for beginners, it's not going to call anyone a dummy ;-)
It's a web design book that refuses to teach bad, outdated practices as a way of getting eye-catching results more quickly than the 'proper' method. For example, the first time you will see page layout covered is with CSS in chapter 4. Tables are covered - but in a chapter about managing data in tables, just where they should be .
In short, it's a book that aims to teach complete beginners how to build web sites that conform to web standards such that they won't need to unlearn bad practices at a later date, or even know that those bad practices exist.
Well, I've talked it up so much, about time I provided a link:
Build Your First Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS
Publication date is March/April (I believe the latter ismore likely). If you think you know someone that this could be of benefit to, please do add your name to the notification list (by joining the Sitepoint Book Buyers' Club). I am looking forward to seeing the finished result ... and I really do wonder what bizarre and completely off-topic picture this book will have on the cover!

From the farmer's market folks
Fava Beans with Prosciutto
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced prosciutto
1 teaspoons minced garlic
1-1/2 pounds fresh fava beans in the pod, shelled, parboiled, and peeled (yields 1 cup of fava beans)
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and sauté for 1 minute. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until mixture is fragrant and just beginning to turn brown, another 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the fava beans, season with salt and sauté until the beans are heated and coated well with the pan contents, another 2 minutes. (Some of the beans will begin to turn a lighter color.)
Add the balsamic vinegar, turn off the heat, and stir to coat. Add the mint and stir to combine and wilt it.
Additional Comments: TIP: Fava beans have two protective layers: a pod with a soft, furry lining; and a tough skin around each bean. Popping the beans out of the pod is obvious. Unless the beans are very young, they need to be peeled before using.
To remove the skin, boil the beans briefly, about a minute, cool under running water, and pinch the loose skin off with your fingers.

Matthiessen Bridge View on black.
I went up to Matthiessen State Park again yesterday - to see the park in the Spring - in all of it's flooded glory - and it didn't disappoint. I spent most of the day standing in cold water lugging around gear and could not have been happier.
I started just after sunrise at the south end of the Dells portion of the park - trying to get to the Wishing Well and the big falls there. The river, 10-15 feet in that valley last November, was at least 40 feet across now and three-to-four feet deep. It was slippery, muddy and very slow going. I think a small inflatable boat and a very watertight bag are going to have to be pursued for next spring.
This is the view from the long footbridge over the river, looking south.
We've been without air conditioning in half the house for the last two weeks (one problem after another!) Then yesterday a transformer blew on our street about 5:00 p.m. and we had no power at all until around midnight - on one of the hottest days of the year!
Such different sounds around the neighborhood without the hum of all those air units, power tools, tvs and boom boxes. For a long while I could hear the lucky folks with pools splashing in them, kids running through sprinklers with shrieks and giggles. We stayed outside, turned our own sprinklers on and moved our chairs so as to catch the most of the breeze cooled through the sprinkler mist and watched Krypto wear himself out chasing, killing and eating water. ;-)
After a bit, the happy sounds around us began to take on a more frazzled sound ... tempers were getting shorter ... more sweaty neighbors stalking around the street looking for signs of a TXU work crew. I started having flashbacks to scenes from the Spike Lee movie Son of Sam and the heat wave power outage in NYC ... ;-)
When the mosquito mob turned nasty we left for our own dinner ... burgers in the coldest joint nearby - and we made them last a long, long time. ;-)

The Castle and Clan Donald Centre near Ardvasar has some beautiful grounds. Armadale Castle is a fascinating ruin. Plus it has beautiful gardens behind it and a HUGE lawn area between it and the Sound of Sleat.
The Clan Donald established itself on Skye in the 15th century, occupying castles at Dunscaith and Knock, both within a few miles of Armadale, and Duntulm Castle at the north end of the island.
From the 1650s, the MacDonald chiefs also began to stay at Armadale. From the 1700s onwards, the mansion house at Armadale was used as a dower house (a large home occupied by the widow of a late owner or chief) and then rented out to others.
A number of famous historical figures have visited Armadale over the years. Flora MacDonald, famed throughout the world for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie to flee Scotland after the Jacobites' defeat at Culloden, was married here on 6 November 1750. Samuel Johnson and James Boswell visited in 1773.
Around 1790, a new mansion house was built at Armadale and this, combined with the start of the plantings you see around the gardens today, became a real demonstration of the wealth and lifestyle of the landed aristocracy.
In 1815, the mansion house was extended to form Armadale Castle, designed by the renowned architect James Gillespie Graham. In 1855, fire destroyed much of the original house, which was replaced by the current central section (designed by David Bryce). In 1925, the MacDonald family moved to a smaller house leaving the castle to the wind and rain.
Today, the Gillespie Graham section is a sculptured ruin and garden with the staircase and facade often used for wedding ceremonies. Housed in what remains of the original mansion, dating from around 1790, the Somerled Rooms offer a unique conference and wedding facility.
Try this on a black background. It much better on black.
And the mummy bear turned to the daddy bear and said: "Has that bloody Tracey Emin been sleeping in our bed again!"
Some months ago I started taking pictures of the impressions left by people's bodies in sofa's, chairs etc and started calling these sofa dunes.
Not long after I started doing this I started experimenting with other impressions left by people; especially those in beds. I called these bed dunes. Over the last few months I have amassed a small collection - most of which I am not very satisfied with.
For want of a better term I started referring to these collectively as body dunes. I'm sure that someone else is already doing this and producing much much better results - so if there is a generic adopted term for these impressions please let me know. I did search for relevant Flickr groups but didn't find any; but I'm probably searching for the wrong thing; even though I did try quite a few varied searches. Please let me know ... else I'll have to start one.
The image above is the state of the my own bed linen - illuminated by the light from a bedside table. Have to do something while I'm sick :-)

Winter Song
sung by: Sarah Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
it rolls in from the sea
My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
to carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love
They say that things just cannot grow
beneath the winter snow,
or so I have been told.
They say we're buried far,
just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.
bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum
I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
and life will find a way.
I'll be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
it rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
to carry you to me.
Is love alive?

Regular Flu Has Killed Thousands Since January
By Doug Gross
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
There had been no confirmed deaths in the United States related to swine flu as of Tuesday afternoon. But another virus had killed thousands of people since January and is expected to keep killing hundreds of people every week for the rest of the year.
That one? The regular flu.
An outbreak of swine flu that is suspected in more than 150 deaths in Mexico and has sickened dozens of people in the United States and elsewhere has grabbed the attention of a nervous public and of medical officials worried the strain will continue to mutate and spread.
Experts are nervous that, as a new strain, the swine flu will be harder to stop because there aren't any vaccines to fight it.
But even if there are swine-flu deaths outside Mexico — and medical experts say there very well may be — the virus would have a long way to go to match the roughly 36,000 deaths that seasonal influenza causes in the United States each year.
"That happens on an annual basis," Dr. Brian Currie said Tuesday. Currie is vice president and medical director at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York.
Since January, more than 13,000 people have died of complications from seasonal flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's weekly report on the causes of death in the nation.
No fewer than 800 flu-related deaths were reported in any week between January 1 and April 18, the most recent week for which figures were available.
The report looks at deaths in the 122 largest cities in the United States.
Worldwide, the annual death toll from the flu is estimated to be between 250,000 and 500,000.
About 9 out of 10 of those deaths are among people older than 65, Currie said. Most times, they already have health problems that the flu makes worse, he said.
"Regular influenza can be taxing," he said. "It causes their underlying disease to decompensate and then they don't have the reserves to get through it.
"While it may not be the direct cause listed on the death certificate, it certainly contributed."
One of the reasons medical experts are nervous about the swine flu outbreak is that many of the people who have died in Mexico have been young and otherwise healthy. The strains found in the United States have so far been weaker.
But even the regular flu is sometimes fatal for younger victims.
"It's not unheard of. It happens, either directly from influenza or they get a bacterial superinfection" like staph, said Currie.
While researchers haven't developed a vaccine to fight the new swine flu, it can be treated with antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, the same drugs used on the regular flu.
Many times, seasonal flu itself is tough to prevent because it has mutated to a form different than it was when the vaccine was made.
Seeking to put the swine flu outbreak in perspective Tuesday, Los Angeles County public health officer Dr. Jonathan Fielding echoed other public officials calling it "cause for concern, but not for alarm."
"Given the size of L.A. County, given the traffic between here and Mexico, it would be very surprising if we didn't have any cases," Fielding said.
He said the county, where the CDC had confirmed 10 cases of swine flu by Tuesday, sees more than 1,000 flu-related deaths every year.
"So it would also not be surprising if there were deaths with swine flu — even if it had the pattern of seasonal flu," he said. "Thus far, the pattern we see in the United States is very similar to that of seasonal flu — relatively mild to moderate cases."

Eso es lo que dicen los informativos, que estamos afectados por una masa de aire siberiano. Lo llevan anunciando desde hace días como si el infierno fuese a caer sobre nosotros. Yo simplemento lo llamo invierno. Que ya tocaba. ¿Que hace frío? Pues nada, abrigo, gorro y bufanda.
Como solía decir mi difunto abuelo: "Es fred mata es cuc, es fred és salut", en otras palabras, el mejor insecticida natural que existe.

It worries me sometimes that the public don't think we're real people with real lives, doing things every other Tom, Dick and Harry does for themselves or their families. Nobody shakes a stick at footballers who earn millions, and even the bankers and government get away with blaming us and other people when really they're the real scumbags, toying with money that isn't theirs. The papers might say otherwise, but it's true what I say: You don't know how the Underground really works unless you've lived it. Annie Mole can tell you all she wants, and yes I wont doubt the fact she knows a lot about the Underground, but there's something she can't seem to capture about (after all, she just blogs about the Underground; she doesn't work for the Underground) – the real essence of the lives of those who work to keep this tinpot railway going – real life on the job as we say. I want to try and capture it, or the stories at least, and perhaps the ones you don't really care about because because you're too busy listening to what the Evening Standard is telling you about us.
We always tell each other to enjoy the days off and the annual leave when we do get it, because we spend our hours at work willing the time away to the ends of our shifts. Before you know it, that time has been and gone Underground. All the old-timers always tell me that if the shift work doesn't get around to killing you, something else will. There are endless stories of people finally managing to retire, but then keeling over days later. Or getting cancer (as we breathe in a lot of crap doing all that time Underground – and half the stuff we come into contact with is carcinogenic, not counting the cigarettes people smoke).
In my second year on the job, I worked a lot with a bloke called Roger, but then he passed away. I'd worked with him on a Sunday afternoon. He kept telling me now and again that this job would be the death of him. He passed away early on the Tuesday morning. It was weird. Everybody turned up at his funeral in full-and-formal uniform. There was even an Underground roundel made from flowers. Lewisham Crematorium was packed out with about 50 members of staff that day.
It's horrible not knowing what day it is because you've been working all night or because you've set the alarm for 02:30 for the dead earlies. Everything's a blur. People come and people go. We see thousands of faces everyday. Some are kind and some are not, but sometimes they're all a blur too. Things change, but some things stay the same. The stories, the traditions, the practises and the heritage. All in a fraction of a second. All forgotten by the next day.
Time might seem slow for you when you're stuck on a train for whatever reason, but for us, it flies by. I was 18 when I started and I remember my first day out on the gateline like it was yesterday, but when I think about the fact I'll be turning 22 towards the end of this year, I find it so hard to make sense of it all.
