I have made probably 100 of these. Wouldn't a tree look great using these not as gift tags, but as ornaments? These are all made from recycled food packaging...the backs are plain, but the fronts are boldly graphic. What do YOU think? Non-traditional tree ornaments or gift tags? Maybe a garland instead? Give me your thoughts please.

Moore Park pedestrian overbridge ...
The pedestrian overbridge at Moore Park tram stop continues to take shape. Steps and lifts well underway
Continued flooding caused evacuations throughout the county, power outages and the closure of U.S. 36 on Thursday. Parts of most major roads in Boulder were also closed.

Ok so let's continue this story on #hypershop.
a repair that should take only a few days to complete is now in its 5th week and after countless mails that stay unanswered and a few phone calls we finally got an answer.
"We will send everything back on Monday"
We thought "pffff finally"
But much to my horror, surprise etc. today we got this in the mail.
Thanks #hypershop
But where is my battery?
So we have to pay for import duties, vat etc. and we still don't have our product back from repairs. Let's go into week six and see if they manage to do what they promised.
I hope hypershop will at least send the battery back in a way that we don't have to pay again. Otherwise I could have better trashed the device. (Yeah import duties are not cheap).

I don't complain a lot. But this is really bad.
The first of a long and continuing series of experimental “X-planes,” the X-1 was the result of the USAAF’s interest in supersonic flight. At the end of World War II, when Bell was asked to build three research aircraft, speeds of aircraft had begun to reach the transonic barrier, Mach 1, and several test pilots had died or nearly died attempting to break it.
The Bell X-1, originally designated XS-1, was patterned after a .50 caliber bullet, as that would be stable at supersonic speeds. An all-moving tailplane was added, giving the pilot additional control at high speeds, and the X-1 was powered by a liquid rocket engine, one of the world’s first and designed by the “father of modern rocketry,” Robert Goddard. Though the X-1 had landing gear and could take off under its own power, it would be given an extra boost by being carried beneath a B-29 mothership to altitude. The pilot had essentially no means of bailing out—ejection seats of the time were still primitive and the shape of the X-1 would prevent it in any case.
Flying from Muroc Dry Lake (now Edwards AFB), Bell’s program was gradual, beginning from glide tests to powered flight throughout 1946. Progress was too slow for the USAAF, which took over control of the test flights in June 1947. At that point, Bell’s chief test pilot, Chalmers “Slick” Goodlin, demanded $150,000 for the supersonic test. The USAAF—now the independent US Air Force--balked at that price, and instead Captain Charles “Chuck” Yeager would fly the test flights on his regular salary. Yeager soared into the record books on 14 October 1947, reaching the speed of Mach 1.06 in the first X-1, 46-042, named Glamorous Glennis for his wife. The fact was initially classified by the USAF, but news was leaked in December.
The X-1’s career did not end there, as the type was further modified and refined as the top speeds of aircraft began going higher and higher in the 1950s. The X-1A through X-1E pushed the record to Mach 2.44 by December 1953; the program also tested thermal dynamics, set altitude records (90,000 feet in May 1954), and incorporated design elements that would be used in space travel, such as reaction jets in the nose. It was an extremely dangerous job: three men were killed during the program, and Yeager himself nearly died when the X-1A went out of control after he reached Mach 2.44. Four of the X-1 prototypes were lost in accidental explosions.
By November 1958, the design could be improved no further, and technology had surpassed it—production fighters were regularly reaching Mach 2, and Mach 3 aircraft were already being built. The X-1 program was ended for good, but left behind an incredible legacy.
This is the real "Glamorous Glennis," as she hangs today in the Milestones of Flight exhibit at the entrance to the Smithsonian. (The wing in the foreground is the "Spirit of St. Louis.") Once X-1 testing was finished in August 1950, the aircraft was immediately handed over to the Smithsonian for preservation. After having read so much about Yeager and the X-1 in Tom Wolfe's "The Right Stuff," along with the movie of the same name, it was quite something to see the X-1 in person.
The roe deer is primarily an animal of mixed and small woodland but is capable of adapting to a wide variety of habitats. It has colonised the northern conifer forests and has penetrated many towns, making use of gardens, parks and other open spaces where there is food and cover. It may also be seen well out into open farmland.
The roe deer is a native species which has been present in Britain since at least the Mesolithic period. However, probably because of over-hunting, it became extremely scarce in medieval times and by 1700 was considered extinct in southern and central England and all of Wales. It also disappeared in most regions of Scotland except for the northern Highlands. After 1800 there were re-introductions into England and colonies were established in Dorset, Sussex and East Anglia. At the same time, there was a gradual re-colonisation of most of northern England and Scotland. Today, roe deer occur in most of southern England, all of northern England and Scotland, and they are continuing to spread into the Midlands and Wales.

This is from the diary of Mary Anne Frances Wilmot. She came from Oystermouth in Wales, and was 9 years old when she started it. The full text of the diary and some details of the people in it can be found at wilmotdiary.wordpress.com.
We all assembled in the drawing room, and the Bride came down and looked so very nice. She was beautifully dressed. Her dress was white glacé silk with the upper skirt trimmed with ruches of white silk, and a wreath and veil, which became her beautifully. She was quite composed and remained so throughout the whole ceremony.
We 8 bridesmaids then started in the Break. We were saluted several times on the road by the firing of some guns, which made us all jump, and scream tremendously.
I forgot to say the day was miserably cold and it was raining hard; and we in our thin muslins were nearly frozen ( Our dresses were white spotted muslin. the upper skirt trimmed with silk and finished off in Vandykes of ruches in tulle, Lilac. white muslin scarfs, with Lilac riban and bow behind. and white crepe bonnets trimmed with white and Lilac, Lilacs)
When we arrived at the Lytch gate, we had to wait some time while the people who had started before us, got out of their carriages. While we were waiting there Aunt Caroline and Grandmama arrived. So we waited in the Lytch gate till she got out, and she took Morton’s arm; and we followed her up the walk to the church – fortunately they had put some matting down, so that saved our white satin shoes, a little, but it was raining hard, and Dulcie Vivian and I had to walk up without an umbrella.
Mr Welby did the service very nicely, and after it was over we all came home, to the breakfast; at which there were 36 people, all the Vivians and Grenfells, & others.
The cake was very pretty and very good. & while we were very busy eating it, the bride appeared at the door, all ready to start, just to say goodbye, but every body rushed out to see the start, and an old shoe was thrown after the carriage – they both looked very happy, particularly Aunt Caroline.
We had to wait some time longer before we could be quiet. The Vivians and others stayed in the drawing room, and conversation was carried on. At last they went, & very glad we were to take off our dresses, and rest.
Continuing with the Xmas In July joy,here we have a giant mag o' joy from my pal Michele. I was REALLY stoked to get this cos I discovered a lot of great ads/layouts I have coveted in other people's Flickr streams over the years
You done good,girl!

Such a beautiful bridge to walk, bike, or jog on.
Heavy rain on a mid elevation snow-pack caused local creeks/rivers to rise ~ 60 cm. overnight. Work crews work to repair the damage on Highway 26 east of Quesnel in the Cariboo District.
once you start playing this game with Finn it's hard to stop. Poor Two Spot is so so so worried about him.
The road work on the section of Hwy 97 between 70 Mile House and 83 Mile is still ongoing. They have the outside lanes down but still have some work to do to finish the inside ones. Sep 12, 2013.
News - TROY FLEECE/Leader-Post - Family, friends, trained search and rescue, members of the RCMP and other members of First Nations joined in a search effort on Friday to try locate missing Amber Redman on the Standing Buffalo Reserve. Amber's mom Gwenda Yuzicappi was on hand to help organize the search parties for her missing daughter.

Gwenda Yuzicappi has never stopped looking for her missing daughter, Amber Redman, in the hopes that she is still alive.
On Friday, the mother from the Standing Buffalo First Nation will take her story to Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., as part of a conference there on murdered and missing women.
The conference, entitled "Feminicide = Sanctioned Murder: Gender, Race & Violence in Global Context", takes a hard look at the large number of disappearances and murders of women in Canada, Mexico and Guatemala.
Yuzicappi has her own reasons for attending the conference.
Ever since Redman, 19, went missing from a Fort Qu'Appelle bar on July 15, 2005, Yuzicappi has led numerous searches for her daughter and has spoken publicly about the painful turn her life has taken.
"To me, doing this, I feel that this is one of my purposes for my daughter and I feel that I'm on the right track," she said. "This is my purpose."
Since Redman disappeared, Yuzicappi has spoken publicly at a number of events across Canada and said she felt honoured to be asked to go to Stanford to represent Canadian First Nations people who are searching for missing loved ones or mourning those who have been found murdered.
Yuzicappi said she has found an affinity with other families who share her experience and hopes she can now begin to connect with families from other countries.
"At (an) event (in Ottawa), I made a statement that I would like nation to nation to come together and support each other, the unity, to bring this issue to the forefront," she said. "When we have more people the strength is stronger and the support is enormous...
"I just believe this is so important and I'm so passionate about this issue that I would go and speak anywhere. If I can let one more person know about my daughter, then I believe that my purpose is met that day."
Yuzicappi will be speaking at Stanford alongside women from Mexico and Guatemala whose daughters have been the victims of violence in their countries.
Yuzicappi said she was touched by a Canadian/British-produced documentary called Killer's Paradise, which tells the story of the brutal murders of women in Guatemala, many of which go uninvestigated and unsolved. That film was to be shown at the conference on Wednesday.
"When I watched that documentary, it upset me but ... when I heard the parents speak on there, I just felt, 'You're going through the same thing that I'm going through,' " she said.
Yuzicappi said she would like to be able to help other families the way she feels she has been helped by bonding with others in Saskatchewan who share her experience.
"When we mention one thing, we all understand that loss that we're facing," she said. "We understand going through shock, going through denial and when we talk about it we have that similarity within the families ...
"But going back to Stanford University and the conference, that's my intent when I go down there. I'm hoping that (through) my words that I'm bringing, my healing and what I'm going through every day, that I'm able to extend that out to other families and vice versa."
Later in May, Yuzicappi will join other family members of missing aboriginal women at an event in Saskatoon. She said she would one day like to help organize a conference in Saskatchewan to host families from around the world who are experiencing the same loss.

Continuing with my Colston Project.
To photograph all mentions and commemorations in Bristol to the slave trader Edward Colston and his influence on Bristol.
A row that has freshly been ignited by the recent decision to rename the Colston Hall, Bristol's comparatively small concert venue to a name that does not honour the transatlantic slave trade.
