Mammoth Mountain, a young volcano in eastern California, sits on the southwest rim of Long Valley Caldera. In 1994 scientists detected high concentrations of CO2 gas in the soil on Mammoth Mountain. This invisible gas, seeping from beneath the volcano, is killing trees on the sides of the mountain and can pose a threat to humans.
earthquake activity is responsible for opening the pathway to the surface where the CO2 is escaping.

This is the third series of Blockhead character builds. This series celebrates all things Halloween! The second series was based on various animals and infused with expressions. The first series was based on the myriad of emotions I've seen from my newborn. There are twelve different characters in each wave, collect them all!
You can see all of the new series on my Facebook page, and if you do stop by, why don't give it a "like"!
I feel I'm milking it a bit with all these Speeder/Scout Trooper pics. But, it's pure coincidence that I got the Series 14 Crazy Scientist today and thought I'd try the arms out on this guy.

Why would anyone want to track crows? Crows, in the Corvid family, are clever, adaptable, inquisitive, and sometimes mischievous. Highly social they will feed a baby that is not theirs and even conduct funerals for their dead. They can problem-solve and learn from other Corvids.
Crows will eat almost anything. Perhaps the leg banding study was about a creature that was on the crow's menu?
The Least Tern is a Mockingbird sized guy who soars through the air and sounds like a pet store parakeet. Their babies are like cotton balls with little legs. So cute. Last year a Least Tern colony was found at Malibu Lagoon. It was cause for celebration. The tiny birds had survived thoughtless people with garbage, dogs, drones, kites, feisty little kids .... two days later it was destroyed by crows.
Scientists collected abandoned eggs and wired them up to give a predator a small zap of electricity and then placed the eggs at a fenced off area known to be a Least Tern colony on Venice Beach. Speaking as someone who has backed into an electrified fence, it makes an impression. Will the shocked Crows learn a lesson from the electric eggs and teach that lesson to other Crows?
A shout out was made to LACoBirds readers to report sightings of banded crows to Thomas Ryan.
W9 spotted the leg bands on the Crow and took video and stills. Lucky for me the guy hopped up onto the fence giving me the perfect excuse for posting a crow photo.

MUAHAHAHAHA! Ahem.
What with all my casting efforts recently, it seemed to make sense to try some different (and hopefully more frugal) materials. I ordered some Composimold on Amazon a few weeks ago; it's a remeltable mould-making material you heat in the microwave. I did like silicone and the effects I could get, but it was getting kind of pricey, and I'm not even that good at mould-making, so I was basically wasting quite a lot of it on poor attempts.
This is my latest Composimold attempt, with a resin cast in progress inside. I thought it looked like a sci-fi prop of clones growing in a jar or something... not that far from the truth, really. ;)

Actually a very sweet young scientist at North York General Hospital in Toronto Ontario. My professor and I photographed the innards of the hospital and got to see some extremely interesting places that your everyday person doesn't get the privilege to see. I got the opportunity to meet some truly incredible people that are changing peoples lives every single day.

Our friend, senior fisheries biologist Dr. Sherrylynn Rowe, prepares to clean an Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) at Petty Harbour, Newfoundland.
Dr. Rowe's science focusses on stock assessment and related research involving ecology and life history of groundfish and marine invertebrates. She has also examined linkages between spawning behaviour and population dynamics of Atlantic Cod and the role of marine protected areas in enhancing lobster populations and fisheries.
Her work takes her to Fogo Island at the northeast tip of Newfoundland, where she is assisting the local fishing community in assessing cod stocks.
Petty Harbour is a beautiful little community not far from St. John's and is worth dropping by for a visit. It's both a working fishing town, and a tourist destination with a small aquarium and good restaurants.
Photo note: Serendipity often brings an image together - in this case Dr. Rowe's work outfit matches the wooden sea wall and the outfit's yellow straps match the yellow railings on the wharf.

Any photo of Sabine's Gull is a prize, and I know I have taken better shots of them, but I quite liked the blurred tundra background and the harsh light as it was a bit different. It breeds all around the Arctic but is one of Svalbard's rarest birds with just a handful of breeding pairs. It was first discovered on an island off West Greenland on 25th July 1818 by 29 year old Edward Sabine, who was a scientist on the John Ross expedition that attempted, but failed to discover the Northwest passage. Edward sent several specimens of the gull to his older brother Joseph in London via a homeward bound whaling ship. There are strict rules that prevent anyone from naming animals or plants after themselves, but Joseph Sabine bent this rule almost to breaking point when he named it Sabine's Gull "Larus Sabini" after his brother Edward. It differed so much from any other known gull that William Leach (of Leach's Petrel fame) later placed it by itself in a new genus Xema, which was a meaningless, made-up name by Leach who was running out of ideas for new names.
Aww, it's alive.
This week's theme is 'Mad Scientist'. Immediately, I thought of creating a photo that is a tribute to Frankie Alina's roots as a monster of Frankenstein. Here we see her experimenting with bringing smaller things to life. This is Frankie Alina's first 'monster'.

Albert Einstein is likely the most well known of the scientists. Pretty crazy to think he was alive less than 60 years ago! With the anniversary of his death coming up, I thought I'd celebrate Einstein in Lego :)
Description Remote, frigid, and often treacherous to traverse, Antarctica has always posed a challenge to the explorers and scientists who work there. As a result, remote-sensing scientists have steadily worked to develop detailed, accurate imagery of the continent—both to support research on the ground and to better study the continent from a safer vantage point. In November 2007, NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the British Antarctic Survey jointly released a new image mosaic of Antarctica. Development of the mosaic was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Known as the Landsat Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA), this map is made of imagery that has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 15 meters per pixel, the most detailed satellite mosaic of the icy continent yet created.
LIMA is comprised of Landsat images acquired between December 25, 1999, and December 31, 2001. This image shows a small portion of the mosaic around Ferrar Glacier, in the Dry Valleys near McMurdo Station. To create this image, data visualizers draped LIMA imagery over a digital elevation model to give a three-dimensional effect. The elevation shown is actual elevation (no exaggeration), and the perspective looks inland from the Ross Sea.
Although many people think of Antarctica as entirely blanketed by snow, the continent sports some areas of bare ground, and the Dry Valleys are a prominent example. Many years of relentless wind have swept these valleys clean of their snow cover. The same wind has also created blue ice. Ice absorbs a small amount of red light, but snow crystals are too small to show this light-absorption effect. Composed of larger ice crystals, however, blue ice makes the red light absorption more obvious. In this image, blue ice appears near the top of the image, upstream from the Ferrar Glacier. (Another example of blue ice appears along Prince Olav Coast, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.)
LIMA shows remarkable detail, such as the peaks and shadows of the Royal Society Range (between the Ferrar and Koettlitz Glaciers), and the dirty surface of the Koettlitz Glacier, covered by dust and rocks blown off the nearby bare ground. LIMA also captures fingers of snow reaching down into Taylor and Wright Valleys, and the pools of snow along Taylor Valley.

First Church of Christ, Scientist, located at 809 South Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, Florida, is a historic structure that on December 3, 1998, was determined to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. However, the owner objected to the property being listed on the Register. It is still a functioning Christian Science church.

Third build in my Iron Builder round against Eann, 2 red cauldrons used.
I almost used cauldrons as buttons on his shirt, but it was too much red. IKR?! I am proud of myself for caring more about the artistic quality of the build than using extra seed parts XD

Buses ain't wot they used to be
The old image of buses as cramped and uncomfortable is changing. The ultimate in luxury must surely be British Leyland's "Business Commuter" bus. It was originally designed as a public relations exercise, but the response has astonished Leyland executives - The National Bus Company has already ordered one.
The bus is built on a standard Leyland national chassis(sic) but, among other things, seats only 20 passengers in aircraft-type seats. Twelve of these seats at the rear of the bus are "social" and equipped with tables and a bar. For the more serious minded there are twelve "super" seats each equipped as a mini office. The idea is that executives will book season tickets, and the full busload of 20 will be picked up one after the other from their homes.
Super seatsd are fitted with a cassette tape recorder and dictaphone, a headset and selector for three radio stations and TV channels, plus intercom facilities linking with a secretarial section at the dront of the bus through which they can make telephone calls via a radiotelephone. The secretarial section, in addition to intercom , radiotelephone, public address and piped music facilities, also has an electric typewriter, electric copier, document shredder, and a mail outward box.
Colour TV sets are provided at the front and rear and there is a colour video-cassette recorder so that homeward bound executives can watch daytime transmissions. The bus, after picking up its commuters, will run into the city centre in about an hour along a "bus only" lane at an average speed of 40 t0 50 mph.
Not surprisingly, fares are likely to be high. A fully equpped "Business Commuter" bus will cost about £25 000 compared to the £10 000 to £13 000 for an ordinary bus, and there are only 20 fare paying passengers.
