Another one from my archives. This is FeeWaybill (old Fee) and his daughter Coco, from Weasel and Fee's first litter of pups. They are modeling winter attire made with the shed hair of our Akita-Husky-Shepherd mix named Malik. They are all gone now and remembered with joy and fondness for who they were, each very unique, special and individual in their own way. (okay that sentence is a bit redundant.) Let me put it this way, we loved them dearly.
It's a snapshot, I have not edited it, I wish I didn't cut their feet off, I don't remember the camera, Fee was 15, Coco 13. She died very shortly after, suddenly. I'm glad I have this crappy picture of them together.
The Barnwell Sentence, Riverside, Cambridge, 31 Mar 2015
When I first saw this I though it was clever street art.
When I saw it close up I realised somebody had been spending lots of money!
'The Barnwell Sentence' mural in Kingsley Walk was created in late 2014 by Lucy Skaer, and is on marble tiles.
The web site says that the artwork takes the form of a 100m ‘sentence', winding its way through the Cambridge Riverside development. It is made up of imprints that tell a story of this site and its proximity. The sculptures and pictograms include Carp fish, strawberries, and school blazers, the largest being a life-sized blue whale skeleton, marking the entrance to the site from Newmarket Road.
I don't speak Barnwell, so don't really understand the meaning of the blue whale. But it does have an exclamation mark!
In Boston, about 45 demonstrators, including a dozen speakers, out for Pvt. Manning on the day of her sentencing. A number of speakers took up the PVT Manning Support Network's call to urge people to sign the petition at pardon.privatemanning.org that calls on President Obama to issue a pardon. Other speakers expressed the view that this approach will be ineffective and that other approaches need to be considered. Everyone who spoke agreed that the 35 year sentence for acts of whistle-blowing is excessive. A number of folks discussed the issues with onlookers and passers-by.
VIsit www.privatemanning.org to learn more about the heroic whistleblower.

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.
By the aim of the search for God and by the concrete form of life the monks are associated with the many Benedictine monks and Benedictine nuns all over the world. In addition, they know themselves in solidarity with all people of good will, like them, seeking true life.

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.
Schottenstift Deed - © Schottenstift
Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.
The museum in Schottenstift

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

The Chengjiang Lagerstätte and the Cambrian Explosion: New Discoveries from China about the Early Evolution of Life
Presented by: Loren Babcock (Department of Geological Sciences, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA) (earthsciences.osu.edu/people/babcock.5)
12 May 1998
----------
[Note: this talk presents the then-current understanding of the Chengjiang fossil deposit - much information has since been revised.]
----------
The Chengjiang is emerging as one of the most important lagerstätten on Earth. (photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/87/86/15_big.jpg) It dates to the latter stages of the Cambrian Explosion. It is 540-535/536 million years old - not a well constrained age. The Chengjiang is one of the few lagerstätten that represents a point within the Cambrian Explosion. The Burgess Shale has widely been heralded as representing the Cambrian Explosion, but it isn’t - there is at least one major extinction between the Cambrian Explosion and the Burgess Shale.
The Cambrian is not the time of the first appearance of organisms, or even metazoans and metaphytes. Life starts at 3.55 billion years ago with procaryotes and eucaryotes at 2.1 billion years. At 1.2 billion years, one sees the first multicellular algae. Cnidarians and sponges are present before the Cambrian. Ediacaran organisms (570-650 million years old) are also around before the Cambrian. (www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/albums/72157647055182319) Evolutionary connections among these Precambrian life forms are unclear. At the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary is a dramatic appearance of most major clades of organisms (>95% of creatures today appeared at the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary). At the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary, there is dramatic evidence that multicellular organisms were active all over the Earth - lots of trace fossils. The boundary is defined by a trace fossil, Phycodes pedum. (geokogud.info/git/specimen_image/181/preview/181-1.jpg)
Small shelly fossils (SSFs) became abundant after the PC-C boundary. (palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/Palaeofiles/Cambrian/fossils/ssf/ss...) They represent disarticulated sclerites worn by organisms with many types of sclerites. In South China, ~100-150 meters above the PC-C boundary (not sure how much above, though - the PC-C boundary is unclear - lots of faulting and unconformities) is a fairly typical Cambrian assemblage - trilobites (mineralized), brachiopods, sponge spicules, echinoderms (rare), hyoliths, and molluscs - a low diversity assemblage. Apart from Burgess Shale and Chengjiang, the Cambrian Explosion would be relatively little known. Lagerstätten are deposits of exceptional preservation - nonmineralized cuticle is common, and gut contents are less common.
The Burgess Shale is famous - ~515-520 million years old (= 15-20 million years after the Cambrian Explosion) - known from a series of middle Middle Cambrian sites in British Columbia, Canada, in Yoho National Park. Lots of trilobites (student.societyforscience.org/sites/student.societyforsci...), brachiopods (www.museumwales.ac.uk/media/7869/thumb_480/popov-5.jpg), and non-shell-bearing organisms. Internal soft part-bearing organisms are celebrated. The mode of preservation of the Burgess Shale is unknown. There's legs with cuticle on trilobites (like Olenoides - www.trilobites.info/Olenoides.jpg). How this leg cuticle got preserved is unknown. Work on Chengjiang helps to understand the mode of preservation. The Burgess Shale has been metamorphosed, destroying the original signature. Why are Burgess Shale-type biotas important? They have nonmineralized creatures (+ internal soft parts/organs) preserved - they tell us about body organization; they preserve for us a record that is more complete than most rocks show. There are 5-6 clades of typical Cambrian creatures. A Burgess Shale-type deposit has >15-20 major clades of creatures. Also, they are important because they are in an important interval in Earth history. At least, they are at times close to the Cambrian Explosion.
Where are Burgess Shale-type biotas found? About two dozen sites have been found in the Cambrian. The Burgess Shale is along the Cordilleran margin of Laurentia. The Cordilleran margin has yielded ~20 or so Burgess Shale-type deposits. Most other Cambrian Burgess Shale-type deposits are from Gondwana. The Chengjiang is on the Yangtze Platform, on the edge of Gondwana. The Cambrian was a time of fairly dramatic sea level (eustatic) rise. There are two good Lower Cambrian lagerstätten - Sirius Passet (a Laurentian deposit in North Greenland - now thought to be older than Chengjiang, but less diverse) and Chengjiang.
Chengjiang deposit - a series of Early Cambrian sites (a dozen or so sites) in Yunnan, China. ~535 million years old at the top & ~540 million years old at the bottom (an overestimate?). Shelly & non-shelly creatures are there, many with soft parts preserved. Chengjiang stratigraphy - has been revised; the lithostratigraphy and allostratigraphy has now been worked out. Lots of unconformities (most previously unrecognized) and faulting make understanding the stratigraphy difficult. Some ages have been revised as well. Have also revised the Proterozoic part of the stratigraphy.
Chengjiang deposit - yellow shales, some siltstone/sandstone in the Yuanshan Member of Heilinpu Formation. The Chengjiang can be characterized as the entire Yuanshan Member, or as pods/lentils within the Yuanshan Member. Preserved soft parts are 1-2 meters above the first trilobites on Earth, and 200 meters above the first small shelly fossils in China. Where that relates to the Avalonian section is unknown: no more than 400 meters above, no less than 200 meters above. The Chengjiang is before the 1st archaeocyathans in the Chinese sections. The Chengjiang is known from a number of localities, but the best is the original locality - Maotianshan (“hat-shaped mountain”). Conditions are often rainy there, making field work difficult. The hillside is pretty much cleared off. There are phosphate mines in the Meishucunian in the area [= Meishucun Stage, lower Lower Cambrian]. Material weathers very quickly - the shale weathers to mud in the rain before your eyes.
Depositional environment of the Chengjiang - originally based on the Burgess Shale - thought to be an anoxic basin adjacent to the base of the Cathedral Reef, where fossils were washed down by slumps, where they were stunned, buried, and preserved. This model has been applied to all other Cambrian lagerstätten. However, the Burgess Shale model jives with its geologic evidence. It doesn’t really apply elsewhere. The model has been applied to Chengjiang. Interpretation - creatures living in shallow, nearshore setting & washed downslope into a deeper anoxic area like Burgess Shale. So, inferring turbidites.
Matrix of Chengjiang samples - not black shale. A black shale unit does exist subjacent to the Yuanshan Member - it is lower in the Heilinpu Formation - there no exceptionally preserved fossils there - only a few pelagic trilobites. So, the black shale model doesn’t work with Chengjiang. Chengjiang has pinstripe bedding - like tidal rhythmites - combine that with a setting in a shallow marine platform, with occasional evidence of fluvial/flood deposits entering the main basin. Some bacteria look like they were desiccated and rewashed out. Deposited in a tidally influenced setting, it is concluded - lagoonal, estuarine - this explains the strange faunal variation from one locality to the next. A couple of supratidal areas? Areas of fluctuating salinity - why they were preserved - get hard part remains like trilobites + nonmineralized organisms (including appendages).
Trilobites are preserved as internal molds of once-calcitic skeletons. Other soft bodied creatures are whole body fossils - have been phosphatized (fluorapatite). So, Cambrian (& Pennsylvanian) lagerstätten are preserved because of thin phosphatic deposition (7-10 days to three weeks after death). Can get phosphatization if salinity fluctuations knock out bacterial biodegraders and scavengers. Saltwater creatures decay slowly in freshwater and vice versa. Saltwater creatures decay quickly in saltwater and vice versa.
Chengjiang creatures - some are Proterozoic holdovers (like spiral bluegreen bacteria). The overall composition of creatures at Chengjiang (we have a census of >3000 specimens) - arthropods dominate the biota. The next most abundant group (~30% of the biota) is bacteria & algae remains, talhough it is difficult to quantify broken thalli and clumps of organisms. Everything else (including “typical” Cambrian creatures) is <3% of the Chengjiang biota. Arthropods dominated the living Chengjiang communities, just like today. Arthropods today are 90-95% of all animals on Earth, in terms of number of species. New arthropods are constantly being described from Chengjiang. Most organisms (including hard-part fossils) are not abundant.
Nonmineralized creatures (97% of biota) - they stand almost no chance of being preserved under normal conditions. So, 97% of a Cambrian community doesn't normally get preserved.
Holdover from the Proterozoic - there is one type of frond-like/seapen-like fossil similar to Charniodiscus (paleontology.edwardtbabinski.us/vendian/ediacaran_fossil.jpg). If it is related to Charniodiscus, it is clear that there were Ediacaran holdovers. The Chengjiang frond-like fossil was found near the top of the Chengjiang zone - one specimen was found lying atop a trilobite sclerite.
Sponges are common - clearly holdovers from the Proterozoic. Proterozoic sponges are known.
One mollusc specimen - the earliest mollusc on Earth.
Nonmineralized animals - worms (priapulids with everted heads & have sediment-filled guts), arthropods. Arthropods include large bivalved things, naraoiids ("soft-bodied trilobites" - a bit strange; have walking appendages, gills, gut tract, attachment points for muscles for legs), earliest chelicerate (possibly) - a primitive scorpion? No definitive chelicerates are known before in the Cambrian. In the Burgess Shale, there is one chelicerate, but it is a bit problematic - that one lacks chelicerae. The Chengjiang has a chelicerae-bearing arthropod. Chengjiang also has an early chordate, according to some (Yunnanozoon - palaeo-electronica.org/2000_1/fossils/images/fig_6a.jpg) - it is an early protochordate according to some researchers, but a hemichordate according to others. There are also strange things - Eldonia pineapple rings - strange (www.fossilmuseum.net/Fossil_Sites/Chengjiang/Eldonia-eumo...). Also anomalocaridids - large, with ferocious mouth parts - 3 meters long. (lejournal.cnrs.fr/sites/default/files/styles/lightbox-hd/...)
Chengjiang tells us that the Cambrian Explosion was very rapid - more rapid than previously thought. Major body plans appeared early. There was considerable body plan experimentation (most went extinct). Predation was an important factor. Complex nervous systems developed early.
Sea pen interpretation - the problem is we never see soft parts. We never see a single tentacle from these, despite fossil hydroids having them in the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte. Ediacaran holdovers in the Chengjiang are in the bases of tempestites, not in the shales.
The Chengjiang stuff is all obviously transported (parautochthonous). We don’t know whether they were alive or dead when transported.
There are laterally adjacent fluvial deposits. Some sandstones near the top of these sections are channels.
Often a kneejerk reaction: lagerstätten imply anoxic basins. But, this doesn’t work at Chengjiang.

Richmond: New re-entry center unveiled for former inmates
By Karina Ioffee
POSTED: 10/13/2015 05:31:40 PM PDT
RICHMOND -- When Edward Williams entered the prison system in 1984, the Internet was an unknown, and he'd never touched a computer.
Once his murder sentence was over three decades later and he arrived back home, Williams felt like he had been dropped on a new planet. Everyone jabbered on cellphones and talked about apps. Most of his relatives, and many friends, were dead, and he now had to think about how he would earn money instead of having tasks assigned to him.
"Everybody wants you to come home, jump into the race and take off, but that ain't going to happen," said Williams, now 74. "They don't understand that prison has its own rules and regulations than the outside, and when you have been gone so long, you have to relearn everything."
Director Nicholas Alexander, center, cuts the ribbon during the grand opening of the Reentry Success Center in Richmond, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2015.

To the left are Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor John Gioia, and Edward Williams, 74, far left, who was recently released from prison after serving 30 years for murder. The center, located in the historic Milens Jewelry Store building on Macdonald Avenue, is funded by realignment money from the state, and will offer former convicts classes, access to computers and other assistance with jobs and housing to help them reintegrate into society. (Jane Tyska/Bay Area News Group) ( JANE TYSKA )
On Tuesday, Williams shared his story at a ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Re-entry Success Center. Located in a former jewelry store in downtown Richmond, the center will help the formerly incarcerated find jobs and housing, access health services and get help with substance abuse and other issues, all under one roof. It formally opens Nov. 2 and will work primarily with people on parole and probation.
"In the past, someone in re-entry would have to go from place to place to get services," said Nicholas Alexander, the center's director. "What we've done is create a hub."
Inside the center, clients will be able to access computers, enroll in GED or college courses, get job-training or placement assistance and meet with a counselor to come up with a re-entry plan. More important, they will have access to a support network that is often missing when people first get out of prison, according to advocates.
"Re-entry is more than just about lowering the cost of ballooning prison costs," Alexander said. "It's about lowering the costs and the impacts to families and children. And it's about growing the workforce and the local economy."
The re-entry center is being funded by a yearly grant of $433,000 from the state, allocated by Assembly Bill 109, better known as "prison realignment." The legislation was passed 2011 as a way to reduce recidivism in California prisons and transfer nonviolent offenders to local jails to serve out the remainder of their sentences.
Another $93,000 per year is being spent by Rubicon Programs, a local organization that offers job training, counseling and other services and that will run the day-to-day operations of the center.
Currently, more than 3,000 people are either on parole or probation in Contra Costa County, according to Alexander, meaning that the demand for the center's work is high.
Advocates for the formerly incarcerated praised the center for being light, airy and not "institutional."
"This is the place we would want to come," said Edwina Perez- Santiago, the founder of Reach Fellowship International, a Richmond organization that offers pre-release and post-release services for women coming out of the prison system. "This is a place where all of our needs will be met. It feels like community."
Contra Costa Supervisor John Gioia praised the center for being a model in re-entry services and said that it had been put together with the input of many former inmates who were able to use their experience to tailor the center's approach.
"Hundreds of organizations came together and understood that we need to invest money not just in county departments or law enforcement, but we need to invest in community-based organizations that are providing real-life services to people re-entering our community," Gioia said.

www.valeehill.net/2021/08/my-top-twenty-one-all-time-favo.... I read On the Island on January 2, 2013 and had this to say: "Any expectations I may have had when I decided to read On the Island have certainly been blown clear out of the water. From the opening line to the last sentence this book was as close to perfectly plotted and paced as imaginable. Although I thought the length of the book (equivalent to 329 pages) was ideally balanced between set-up, character introduction, the passage of time on the island, and life following their rescue I certainly didn't want to say good-bye to T.J. and Anna. I consider this a remarkable novel, period. The fact that it is from a first-time author makes it even more impressive. The wait for her next novel, Covet, will seem long indeed.”
I devoured the novella, Uncharted, in July 2013.

Miika Juhana Tenkula (6. maaliskuuta 1974 Oulu – 18. helmikuuta 2009 Muhos) oli suomalainen muusikko, joka tunnetaan vuosina 1989–2005 toimineen Sentenced-yhtyeen soolokitaristina.
Hän kuoli perinnöllisen sydänvian aiheuttamaan äkilliseen sydänkohtaukseen kotonaan Muhoksella 18. helmikuuta 2009. Hänet haudattiin Kirkkosaaren hautausmaalle Muhokselle
----------------------
Miika Tenkula (6 March 1974 – 18 February 2009) was a Finnish heavy metal musician. He was the lead guitarist and the main songwriter for the band Sentenced until it disbanded. He was also the band's original vocalist from 1989 to late 1992.
After Sentenced disbanded, Tenkula withdrew from publicity. He died of a sudden heart attack caused by genetic heart disease at his home in the town of Muhos 18 February 2009. His former band members remembered him by publishing an obituary in the official Sentenced webpage on 22 February 2009.
Sentenced mourned the loss of Miika Tenkula, "a dear friend, a truly remarkable artist and musician, and the very soul of what used to be Sentenced. Rest now, brother – in your music and our hearts you will live forever".
An open memorial was held in the Club Teatria in the city of Oulu on 18 April 2009. In the music containing ceremony was also show Buried Alive - concert movie, that was filmed in the same location in 2005, where Miika Tenkula and the Sentenced held their last concert before disbanding. In the ceremony, music from Miika Tenkula's favourite artists was heard, but also cover versions from the Sentenced songs performed by various Finnish artists and bands.

The sentence, as it is, with its four little words and a profound word 'Analyze', standing, sticking its neck out, might seem too curious, even egoistic. Nonetheless, hello, what's wrong with analysis? Don't we do it everyday?
We analyze the shine on the toothpaste after we wake up, watch hazy, running feet when we go to work, feel the gear before setting it in. Smacking our lips before a kiss, touching the camera before a click and feeling the auto focus whirring inside, knowing loss when our knees are down, analyzing the triumph after punching an adversary down. Life, in all its glory, hardcore as it is, dazzlingly meaningful and pathetically meaningless in opposite POVs, is a very real, flaming illusion fanned by the existence of senses.
So I gave it a thought, being the furious INTP I am, sifted non-result-oriented thoughts through the value system, and present the discovery to my readers, and to myself, for perusal after many years, for analysis. I so want to laugh this off after 3-5 years, but for now, this would suffice. So if at all, I say 'let me analyze you', to any of the females out there, mark my words, that would be the most romantic thing I can ever say. As for guys, I can say that while taking an interview.
There are thin lines drawn between introspection, being eagles and megalomania. Three countries, boss... Where are we? To the squirrel who looks like it (due to the lack of the knowledge about its gender) is freaking analyzing and to fellow analysts.

I came up with this idea just as I was falling asleep the other night. After that I couldn't get back to sleep because it was all I could think about! I made the background and sign last night for today's photoshoot.
some of the 6yrold's looks have very distinct meanings and this one means [w/ Joe Pesci voice]: "yo, why don't you just keep flippin' taking flippin' pictures and I'm gonna go ahead and keep doing what I'm doing."
