Updates - Egypt, July 1, 2013**
Protests continue for the second day after the official call for the revolution in tens of cities and villages across Egypt. While millions of protesters were sure that they will bring Morsi down, others decided to let it be known. Like the case of January 25, some protesters decided to show that they brought the regime down by protesting in front of the ruling group's headquarters. The clashes in the vicinity of the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters left eight dead and many injured when the MB youth shot live bullets at the protesters. Later the headquarters was broken into and set on fire.
Later in the day, the Armed Forces gave its first communique. The military helicopters that were met yesterday with great support from many protesters resulted in a statement declaring that the Armed Forces is on the side of the people. The Armed Forces gave "a final 48 hours for all sides to meet the people's demands, or else it will have to do its national duty of protecting the people." In the case of not meeting the demands before the end of the 48 hours, the Armed Forces will put its own roadmap and oversees its implementation. It was also stated that the Armed Forces will not take part in politics.
The communique was met by both the majority of protesters and people who didn't join with great support that has given the squares of Egypt a celebratory spirit. Secular political groups like the Salvation Front, the National Association for Change and Tamarod Movement also gave a positive reaction, but stated that protesters will ensure that the army stays out of the political life.
The Presidency and the Muslim brotherhood both announced that they will hold press conferences to comment on the communique, but none of them ever happened. Meanwhile the Islamist groups started mobilizing their youth in marches in more than six cities all over the country.
Egypt, June 30, 2013**
The second wave of the revolution has started! June 30 began as a much bigger movement than January 25. After a majority of Egyptians were fed up with Muslim Brotherhood rule they took their decision and lead the politicians to the street.
June 30 made a great start with millions of people revolting in almost all governorates of Egypt. With red cards and whistles, Egypt declared Morsi out. Rules were put for the protesters to never chant for or against the army or the police, but when a military helicopter started flying over Ithadeya many cheered for it. The loudest chant though was "LEAVE", all protesters united on one aim, to topple the Islamist fascist regime.
Meanwhile a few clashes between the regime supporters and revolutionaries took place in Assuyt and Beheira, leaving at least five dead and around 80 injured. In Cairo, the clashes were in front of the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Mokkatam where supporters fired bird-shot from the building and where met with Molotov cocktails from the protesters resulting in small fires inside the building.
June 29, 2013**
The Egyptian People did one final warm up before the Red Card comes out. Tamarod Movement (Rebel) held a press conference early Saturday at the Journalists Syndicate, the movement's founder announced that the final count was more than 22 million signatures. He called upon the people to protest on June 30 to continue what they started and topple the first civilian elected president one year after his inauguration for his failure in achieving the main objectives of the January 25 Revolution as well as putting the Muslim Brotherhood in control of the top of power of all country's sides of power. He also asserted that the number of signatures was a reflection of how much the public has turned against Morsi. It is noteworthy that the number of signatures collected is more than 85% of the number of voters in the presidential elections' second round.
Egyptians took their decision and raised the red card against President Mohamed Morsi!
Egypt, June 28, 2013**
As Egypt approaches June 30, the date of the uprising called for by Tamarod (Rebel), a movement that has already collected more than 22 million signatures to ouster President Mohamed Morsi, both excitement and apprehension fill the residents of the capital. In the governorates though, the protests have started earlier than expected. On the day of the governors' reshuffling people took the streets in all governorates that had a new Muslim Brotherhood governor. As the protests became bigger they have also demanded the removal of the regime.
In the past year, the life of the average Egyptian has become harder everyday; prices of essential products never seize to increase, people had to stand in endless lines to find diesel, every house and workplace all over Cairo suffer from water and power cuts. All this lead to rising aggression between a great percentage of the population. Anger was dramatically increased when Egypt ran out of gas and the streets of Cairo turned into one big parking lot.
By the beginning of the week, it has become known that Ann Patterson, U.S. Ambassador to Egypt met with Khairat El Shater, deputy supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood. The meeting with a non-governmental-official was never explained by the embassy, but it has become clear that the U.S. Administration still supports the Muslim Brotherhood rule, and President Morsi as part of it. The U.S. Administration that has always claimed to encourage democratic change in developing countries, proved itself wrong after the Arab Spring. It is now understood that the American support is always given to a group whom they believe will give them the most benefit regardless of the group's view on people's freedom. For this reason, a new addition to the revolution's banners was ones against Obama, Patterson and the U.S. Administration in general.
The Defense Minister, Abd El Fattah El Sisi has been very discreet about his stance regarding the Muslim Brotherhood rule. On Sunday he gave a vague speech that has kept people wondering if we'll be facing a coup in the coming days, especially when he mentioned that the army's role is to protect the will of the people. One day after the minister has spoken a National Security Council meeting was announced. The meeting's statement expressed the attendees' respect to peaceful protests and declared that the parliamentary elections will be held in a few months, once the elections law is approved. The presidency has also announced that the president will give a speech on Wednesday to celebrate the first anniversary of his inauguration.
Tamarod met the announcement of the president's speech with calling for a protest to watch him in Tahrir Square. After the whole country waited in front of a television, Morsi spoke for almost three hours saying complete nonsense. The speech that had not once mentioned June 30 or the clashes that were happening in Mansoura a few hours before he spoke, had one aim; to show that the army and police are on the side of the regime. This was proven, from the president's opinion, after both ministers of Defense and Interior were present in the front row listening to his speech, and after mentioning five times that he's the commander-in-chief of the police and armed forces.
Two days before the revolution, the plan was to mobilize all governorates but Greater Cairo's. Today what actually happened was that there were protests in almost every city and village in Egypt. While Alexandria, Dakahleya, Port Said, Dameitta, Monofeya, Gharbeya, Sharqeya and Beni Souief had huge protests, Greater Cairo had four sit-ins for the first time since January 25, 2011. As protesters poured in in Tahrir Square, others stayed in Kitkat in Giza, and others in front of the Ministry of Defense. A warm up has started with two small sit-ins in the vicinity of the Presidential Palace in Heliopolis. The day has faced clashes in many cities between revolutionaries and regime supporters that left two dead, one of which is an American citizen, and 227 injured.

While continuing to clean out the barrel of images waiting to be posted (honestly, some are getting kinda cranky.....like this one when it muttered "Its about time!" as I hit the upload button), remembering the moment of capture is a little hazy.
Good grief Mike, was that actually a sentence you wrote there? What in the world are you saying!
Sorry.....
I remember a quick U turn after slamming on the breaks to head back to this little cove just off the road. I do love my travel to exotic locations, but there is much I haven't seen here in my own state. On this little self assignment journey, I bumbled a bit around the St. Lawrence River in Northern Florida (I think thats what it was called).
Although I have never been much of a painter, I pretend to be one in the digital darkroom. I used a few techniques on this one, including HDR processing for tonal range and Topaz adjust for the painterly look. Hope you like :)

Work continues o ground works to join to of Leicester's attractions - the National Space Centre (in the background) and the neighbouring Abbey Pumping Station - a former Victorian sewage pumping station powered by steam engines! (Hint: the latter is more interesting!).
The Victorians had civic pride, this building and its contents are quite stunning.
Bizarrely, this is an ideal time to perform works like this. The venues are closed.
The truck was brand new to the fleet in October 2020.

Continuing this week's theme of comic book covers.
I have the job of scanning a batch of magazines and comics for auction on www.ebay.co.uk under the seller name of the_genies_cave. Not having handled a comic for about forty five years I realised that they were quite arty and I thought that they might have a wider interest. Further, I discovered a Flickr group dedicated to comics! I don't know much about the dates of some of these but I hope you enjoy the colourful nature and design.

Continuing my new Set of places in Brockton, Massachusetts, that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Moses Packard House is an historic house at 647 Main Street in Brockton, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1897 and added to the National Historic Register in 1978.
It currently serves as the Dahlborg-MacNevin Funeral Home which has added a Chapel to the building.
Continuing our review of the Sydney Trains network - Rhodes railway Station. Located on the Main North Line it serves suburban trains on the T1 line.
From Wikipedia:
Rhodes station opened on 17 September 1886. In March 1892, a second platform was added when the Main North line was duplicated. In 1912, an extra line was added to the west of the station, but no platform face was provided until 1928.
Rhodes developed into a predominately industrial area, being the base for railway locomotive manufacturer Tulloch.
To the north of the station, the line crosses the Parramatta River via the John Whitton Bridge. This opened in May 1980 replacing the original iron lattice bridge.
Beginning in the 1990s with the gated village/suburb of Liberty Grove (the luxury suburb opened in 1998) the area was redeveloped. It now includes residential apartments, commercial offices and the Rhodes Shopping Centre. In the early 2000s, Rhodes station underwent a major redevelopment.
In 2015, a southbound loop was added south of the station as part of the Northern Sydney Freight Corridor project

Luckily I had had my mind state recorded aboard the GCU Lightly Seared on the Reality Grill prior to that sordid business, and growing a new body was done within weeks.
I let a knife missile do the dirty work and had the GCU displace what was left of her into the sun before going in to loot. The credits on my motbok was utterly used up (BIG surprise) but I managed to get my mitts on this here fine FB book.
So. All is well that ends well. If only I could find her blasted soul keeper I'd sleep better. Anyway, I left a handful of nano missiles and a small anti-matter charge just to make sure.
Stats are stats, but you can only know how what the different seasons are actually like when you live through them. Although it's not been Arctic of late, the crocuses have blossomed up, and the tulips and other plants have started to poke out of the dirt. But in nature, I've not been seen much green, but I did spot these pussy willows on a recent walk...

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.
Continued to work on the passenger door. Last photo before the door panel goes back on the door. Glass has not scratches and is cleaned from paint booth dust.

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.

Mother of missing woman sharing story with others

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.
