Rat snakes (or ratsnakes) are members – along with kingsnakes, milk snakes, vine snakes and indigo snakes – of the subfamily Colubrinae of the family Colubridae. They are medium to large constrictors and are found throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. They feed primarily on rodents and birds. With some species exceeding 3 m (10 ft) in total length, they can occupy top levels of some food chains. Many species make attractive and docile pets and one, the corn snake, is one of the most popular reptile pets in the world.[citation needed] Other species can be very skittish and sometimes aggressive, but bites are rarely serious. Like nearly all colubrids, rat snakes pose no threat to humans. Rat snakes were long thought to be completely nonvenomous, but recent studies have shown that some Old World species do possess small amounts of venom (so small as to be negligible to humans).[citation needed]
Previously, most rat snakes were assigned to the genus Elaphe, but many have been since renamed following mitochondrial DNA analysis performed in 2002. For the purpose of this article, names will be harmonized with the TIGR Database[clarification needed].
As part of my architecture degree, my design studio class has been given some real world clients. The theme for this design studio is Design, Re-design and Adapt.
We are to re-design a families beach house which they have simply out grown. As a group, we conducted a detailed site analysis, which also ties in with my Architecture and Environment class.
The first part of this project is to design a micro dwelling to house two people while the main house is being built. The second part is to re-design the main house to suit the large families needs. Thirdly, there is an expectation that the new, larger house will undergo further changes in the future. Once the children have grown up, the parents would live there by themselves, possibly with the grandparents.

Until 1973 North American Juncos with dark eyes were split into five different species. Two of these were widespread; The Slate-colored Junco of the eastern United States and most of Canada (which is blue grey throughout with a white belly), and Oregon Junco in the East (with a dark hood, brown upperparts and pinkish flanks). But all forms have now been lumped into a single species known as Dark-eyed Junco, although people still refer to the distinctive races as if they were species. There are now 15 named races but recent molecular analysis found little difference between them.
This is the western race of Dark-eyed Junco, also known as Oregon Junco (Junco hyemalis subsp thurberi). It was also formerly known as Thurber's Junco after George Thurber, a 19th century American botanist. Apparently the name Junco was an old Spanish name for Reed Bunting deriving from the Latin for rush (Juncus), though the bird isn't associated with rushy habitats. Hyemalis means of the winter, because it is a winter visitor to much of the United States. Mark Catesby (1663-1749 the English Naturalist who wrote the Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahamas) called it Passer nivalis (Snow Sparrow) and Snowbird was an alternative name for it as it arrives with the snow over much of the USA. In fact, it was Dark-eyed Junco that was the bird that Anne Murray sang about in her 1975 hit Snowbird ("Spread your tiny wings and fly away. And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day").
In the early days of American ornithology a number of birds carried the name Oregon (eg Jay, Chickadee, Towhee) but these old names have fallen into disuse as less geographically precise names have gained acceptance. But when these "Oregon" birds were first named in the first half of the 19th century, Oregon Country then Territory was a much larger area, before the State of Oregon was founded in 1859. Oregon Country comprised of Oregon, Washington, parts of Idaho and Montana, and even part of British Columbia in Canada. It seems inappropriate that geographically widespread birds should bear the name of a single place, though this tradition persists in the American Warblers (eg Tennessee, Nashville, Cape May, Connecticut, Kentucky).

.....not so far from the ancient roman columns of San Lorenzo, in the heart of Milan (Italy)
you can find the artistic street art which represent all the history of this magic city through the main important characters and events...
the citizens of Milan love this place near Porta Ticinese, one of the most characteristic place of the city... they love its history...
this is the creative imagination, the magic hands describing the history....
...IN THIS PORTION OF THE GRAFFITI, YOU CAN SEE:
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SECESSION WAR BETWEEN THE SFORZA AND VISCONTI FAMILIES (RULERS OF MILAN)........
The advent of the Visconti signoria was accomplished in ways not much different from those which saw the affirmation of signorial regimes in so many other cities at that time. The definitive breach with past practice seemed to come in the late thirteenth century, firstly with Napoleone Della Torre and then, after the victory at the battle of Desio in 1277, with the new signori Ottone Visconti, Guglielmo, marquis of Monferrato, and Matteo Visconti. Certainly, even during the Francesco Sforza era, Milan as the capital continued to enjoy a series of privileges in taxation and food-supply compared to other cities of the duchy. The defeat of Lodrisio Visconti at Parabiago in 1339 marked the definitive containment of Mastino II Della Scala ambitions in western Lombardy and the indisputable primacy of the signori of Milan.

The surface of the earth is about 70% water. A recent lab analysis found that my photostream is also 70% water the remaining 30% is hot air. Today I went exploring in the tide pools and spotted this nice looking shell. I went to pick it up and bring it to higher and drier ground but a gentle pull in the opposite direction let me know it was still occupied. It startled me a bit to feel the fullness of life inside the pearly spiral hull since most of the shells along the shore are empty.

Flickr Analysis... I don't know if any of you have studied what's going on with the folks that you follow but every year or so I do just that and this is what I have found. The first time that I did this, I found that hundreds of people that I follow had not uploaded a single photo in more than 2 years so I decided that anyone that has been inactive for more than 1 year, I unfollow them... then 1 year later I made the same study finding that hundreds once again had landed into the more than 12 months inactive (see attached). So, once again, I am unfollowing those that have been inactive for more than 12 months.
If you want to take a look at the status of the people that you follow, click the "You" pull down menu, then click "People", then click "List" on the page, then click the column header "Last Uploaded" twice to put the list in reverse order by date. So on this same page, you can right click on the name to open in another tab to review the information or just click "Edit" to unfollow,

Evening game as the sun sets... one nil up but now two one down! Defensive frailties are being discussed!
Chalamain Gap filed 30ft deep with avalanche debris. This did not feel like a safe place to hang about taking photos; a steep slope of ice and snow that had not yet fallen stretched 200 metres further back behind me along the gap.
The crown wall of the avalanche can be seen on the top right off the photo, roughly 2 meters high, starting halfway through Chalamain Gap and continuing for 300 meters along the North East ridge.
Time to go.
