Horseshoe Falls, Near Llantysilio Hall in Denbighshire, Wales.
Horseshoe Falls · Geolocation
52.981316° N, -3.199795° E
Horseshoe Falls is a weir on the River Dee near Llantysilio Hall in Denbighshire, Wales, about 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-west of the town of Llangollen.
The distinctively shaped weir, which is 460 feet (140 m) long, helps create a pool of water that can enter the Llangollen Canal (via an adjacent valve house and flow meter). The canal west of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the construction of the weir were authorised by an Act of Parliament obtained in 1804 by the Ellesmere Canal Company. The canal was a navigable feeder, which supplied water to the Ellesmere Canal beyond Pontcysyllte, and to the Chester Canal, to which it connected near Nantwich. Thomas Telford was the civil engineer responsible for the design, and the canal and feeder were completed in 1808.
Since 2009, the weir has been part of a World Heritage Site, which covers 11 miles (18 km) of the Llangollen Canal from just west of Horseshoe Falls to just beyond Chirk Aqueduct. The canal was awarded World Heritage status because of the bold civil engineering solutions needed to construct a canal with no locks through such difficult terrain.

I watch the sparrows out on my back deck. Annoying little creatures, really. The little "beggars" waste bird food in incredible amounts. They sweep their beaks through the feeder troughs, almost with disdain, and the food (that I paid for) goes flying. Not to mention the mess they leave behind!
Many people have counseled me to stop feeding the sparrows, that they are so common, and they are a terrible nuisance. And instead, I should put out food that will attract only the prettier birds, the more desirable birds.
I thought about that. I really did. But God sent these ungrateful, sweet little wretches to my back deck. Then it dawns on me that they are kind of like some people in our lives: the common, the less pretty, the annoying. And yet God drops those types of people at our back deck, too.
It would be so much easier to turn away. Much easier to tell the person to stand on their own two feet, stop being so needy, and stop being so demanding. That I have my own life's demands. It would be so much easier to turn my back and walk away.
I have such a person in my life. And like a sparrow, she came out of nowhere. Fragile, not helpless, but still in need of assistance. Had I turned my back on her when she asked to speak to me one day, I would never have known what she copes with every day.
Profoundly deaf, she struggles with the hearing world. Nothing wrong with her mind, except she gets frustrated and angry when the hearing world treats her as though she were less than human. As she puts it, "like when I lost my hearing, I lost my marbles, too."
No, I don't have the time for the added responsibilities that have come into my life. It will mean giving up other things like my social networking, and maybe even the promotion of my book., Martha's Vine, which is now in print on Amazon.
But then maybe those things don't hold as much priority as the care of one little sparrow. At least in God's eyes. And maybe, that's the point.
With love to all the disenfranchised "sparrows" in our lives.

Quantum Break
Hard to understand why this one gets such poor reviews. Amazing gun play and the AI is the best I've encountered. Early days though.

Quantum Break
The lighting adds a lot to this game. For those who haven't played it; to my surprise, after a few levels, I was hit with a long ass actual video. Weird mix.
The video is shot in a gamey style, but non of the characters are at all likable which, for me destroyed any immersion the actual game had built.
They seem to have really high production values, in said video, but it stubbornly remains, as my so put it, " really shit."
This shot is from a cutscene, which they do blend in well with the actual game.

About Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The May 25, 1977 theatrical debut of Star Wars --- on a scant 32 screens across America -- was destined to change the face of cinema forever. An instant classic and an unparalleled box office success, the rousing "space opera" was equal parts fairy tale, western, 1930s serial and special effects extravaganza, with roots in mythologies from cultures around the world.
From the mind of visionary writer/director George Lucas, the epic space fantasy introduced the mystical Force into the cultural vocabulary and it continues to grow, its lush universe ever-expanding through film, television, publishing, video games and more.
