Monday 31 October 2011 - Day 10 - Trek Surke (2,300m / 7,546ft) to Phakding (2,640m / 8,661ft )
According to our itinerary, this was to be our last day as a fivesome as we were due to rendezvous with the Everest sirdar, our trio of fellow Three High Peakers and their porters at Phakding this morning. However, we woke to find the cloud had descended to ground level, and it didn't lift much all day. Little did we realise that last evening's glimpse of blue sky and a snowy peak was to be our last of either for another seven days... October/November peak trekking season in this part of the world, due to the "normal" weather conditions being cloudless blue skies, and the "inclement weather" caused havoc as bad weather = no flights, and we'd spent 6 days walking from the nearest roadhead....
The path to/from Lukla joined the main trail during our morning's walk, and we saw a lot more people today than for a long time. Lots of glum faces, hardly a "hello" amongst them - with hindsight, everyone must have been fretting about their chances of getting back the KTM in time for their international flight home. Still, we were cheery, passing plenty of well maintained mani walls under atmospheric cloud shrouds as we walked through Chaurikharka (2,760m / 9,055ft) and Chheplung (2,660m / 8,727ft), where we also just caught a glimpse of the Bhutan-esque gompa clinging to the mountainside. Lots of orchards and farms here too, and Daa Waa pointed out a small spritely blue and yellow crested bird in a bush, which put on a great performance. I think Daa Waa said it was a woodpecker, but it put me in mind of a blue tit.
At our tea stop by the river crossing at Thado Kosi we crossed paths with Brit+Kiwi, before continuing on through prosperous paved Ghat (lots more mani walls/stones and prayer wheels), and up to Phakding - the biggest place we'd seen since Jiri!
In the warmth of the sun room at Jo's Garden (which has been renamed the Himalayan Eco Resort, and is a sister operation to the Eco Lodge we stayed at in Lobuche), we tucked into a late lunch of veg pakora and papar (pancakes) whilst earwigging to a contest of traveller's one-up-manship between a Dutch father/daughter duo and a pair of Canadian ladies. Left to our own devices for the afternoon, while Daa Waa tried to find out what was happening with our fellow trekkers-to-be, we decided to do a spot more acclimatisation and cultural exploration, and walked up the trail to the Pema Chholing monastery. A good decision, as the path took us between stone walled fields and then up through pine forests giving a good view out over Phakding and the torrential Dudh Kosi down below. At the monastery, a monk opened up the main prayer hall for us and then showed us upstairs to the store of prayer books, masks, hats, trumpets and drums - all of which were very similar to items we'd seen in use at the Paro festival in Bhutan. Magic.
Back at base, we pottered around in our huge room, unpacking/repacking to take account of the change in weather conditions (it had started raining on our way back), and I decided to test out the Hot Shower in our En Suite.... only to realise that the heat is solar powered, and there hasn't been much sun... still my hair got its first wash for a while!
The bad weather meant that Phakding was a ghost town once the overnighters and Namche arrivals had departed for Lukla, and so having adjourned to the dining room we read the guide book, played travel scrabble and cards, and ate in splendid isolation - warmed by the yak dung powered stove in the middle of the room. I took the chance to recharge my camera battery too - at the time 200 (?) rupees seemed pricey... little did I know! After dinner, we chatted with Daa Waa for a while and he told us that we would be continuing up to Namche tomorrow in the hope that the other three would be able to fly in and catch up with us there in the next day or two... On the bright side, it meant one more day with the lovely Kumar and Mingma!

I believe this was the thing used for lowering a baker into the river to nearly drown him for baking loaves that were too small. For shame.
When the opportunity to get more than one good angle of this bus is available, you can bet I'll take the opportunity! D&E Coaches City Sightseeing Inverness Dennis Trident 2 Plaxton President S88 YST is pictured headed to Inverness Bus Station to complete the penultimate service of the day on the Red Route Tour around the City and out to Jacobite Cruises at Dochgarroch.
This vehicle wears the City Sightseeing Inverness red and yellow livery we all know well by now and it looks fantastic as ever! And you can bet I've got even more photos of this bus coming from 2023 too! And with a bit of luck hopefully more will be able to be made in the coming Sightseeing season too!
S88 YST was new to Lothian Buses in November 2002 as SK52 OHN (Fleet Number 651). Its first livery was, rather obviously, the Harlequin livery, which it had from its first day until approximately the end of 2011. 2012 saw it get repainted into the Forth Bridges Bus & Boat Tour livery and a new registration of XIL 1484 while continuing with its original fleet number. It ran in this livery until 2017, at which point it was painted into the new 3 Bridges Tour livery, the design of which is based on the current Madder & White Fleet Of The Future corporate livery Lothian currently use. 2019 saw the bus transfer to Stagecoach Highlands (Inverness) to replace an ALX400 which had caught fire in 2018. With its original reg SK52 OHN re-applied, SK52 OHN received its City Sightseeing Inverness livery and ran one of the service slots throughout that year. It transferred to D&E Coaches in 2021 as part of their acquisition of the Sightseeing tour operations into their subsidiary D&E Tours, however SK52 OHN sat out that year with D&E's newly obtained Gemini 2 and the ALX400 that came from Stagecoach running instead. In 2022, with the ALX400 not returning, SK52 OHN made a triumphant return under its latest reg plate S88 YST and in 2023 it was the reserve bus with only one route running and the ALX400 still out of action.

Looking across the former front lawn to the original 1782 General Hospital building and Jubilee Wing
Upon the outbreak of WW1, 102 beds were immediately placed at the disposal of the military authorities. The Jubilee Wing was soon full of sick and wounded soldiers and further hospital expansion became necessary. In 1915 temporary wards to accommodate 150 casualties were built on the front lawn.

This unique healing device has two parts: a two inch thick dome of pure crystalline Himalayan Pink Salt and a hand-crafted rosewood base that both supports the salt dome and houses two small light bulbs.
Please scroll down at page`s end for product pictures
Himalayan salt works in a number of ways:
When the Himalayan Salt Detoxer is warmed, the salt helps release negative ions that are anti-microbial, air purifying, skin purifying and that promote a sense of well being. Purifying the air by binding positive ions helps dust and allergens to settle.
The warmth of the stone causes the feet to sweat, allowing the salt to purify and cleanse. Toxins are pulled out and minerals pulled in, thus decreasing unhealthy acidity. This also helps ease tiredness, aching, and symptoms of stress caused by over-exertion.
As well, the Himalayan Salt Detoxer softens and gently exfoliates the skin as it binds with the salt through the moisture on the hands and feet.
It is the source of many vital nutrients. Himalayan salt can contain as many as 84 natural minerals vital to health that can be absorbed through the skin.
The Himalayan Salt Detoxer helps to re-attune the body to the Schumann resonance, sometimes called the heart beat of Mother Earth which helps ease nervousness, insomnia and lack of concentration while helping to clear cancer causing free radicals from the body.
How to Use the Himalayan Crystal Salt Detoxer
The Himalayan Salt Detoxer is used for foot detoxification, localized skin care treatments, manicures and pedicures, among many uses. For instance, some people use it:
For manicures or pedicures. Rest one hand or foot on the Himalayan Salt Detoxer while attending to the other hand or foot.
To re-invigorate tired feet and legs after work or exercise.
To lessen the pain of carpal tunnel or arthritic conditions.
How Long the Himalayan Salt Detoxer Should Be Used for Each Session?
Initially we recommend 10 to 20 minute sessions. When this is comfortable, an individual may progress to 30 minutes to a maximum of 60 minutes. It can be used for one long session or for a few shorter sessions during the day. Please discontinue use if there is any discomfort.
How Do I Turn It On and Adjust the Temperature?
Heat is controlled by using the UL-approved dimmer switch. Before using the Himalayan Salt Detoxer turn the dial on the dimmer switch to the maximum level for 10-20 minutes. Then, once the salt is a comfortable temperature, turn the switch back to the mid-point. Periodic temperature adjustment of the unit, by rotating the dimmer control switch up or down, may be needed. This will maintain the preferred level of warmth. Salt is a temperature sink (which means it holds heat very well), but temperature changes are not immediate so please take care, especially if you feel the dome is too hot. Even when removed from the base it will feel warm for a number of minutes.
Are There Any Precautions Before I Begin to Use the Himalayan Salt Detoxer?
We firmly believe in the benefits of the Himalayan Salt Detoxer, but we make no medical claims to cure, treat or prevent any kind of disease. Before using the Himalayan Salt Detoxer please seek appropriate medical advice if you have symptoms that are of concern. Such concerns may include:
Pregnancy
Already being under medical supervision
Currently taking medication for a pre-existing condition
Are diabetic or have diminished sensation in your feet
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not use a very wet cloth as this will dissolve the salt gradually or cause it to crack.
What Should I Do If the Salt Surface Starts to Look “Crusty”?
This is usually due to the surface getting damp either from the moisture content in the air, from a hand or foot that has touched the surface or from water droplets that have gone undetected. To prevent “crusting”, the Himalayan Salt Detoxer should be wrapped in a plastic bag then sealed OR kept lit on low when not in use. To repair moisture damage, wipe off the crumbly salt and put the Detoxer on high for 30 minutes to make sure it is thoroughly dry.
For your safety:
Use only for hands or feet.
Never stand, sit on or apply full body weight to the Himalayan Salt Detoxer equipment.
Do not use if the dome is cracked or split.
Discontinue use and seek medical attention if your skin swells or becomes inflamed.
Keep away from water and places where the salt surface may come into contact with water.
Never use when the cord or plug is damaged.
If you are pregnant, under medical supervision, or taking medication, consult your physician before using the Himalayan Salt Detoxer . Not recommended for use by diabetics.

Himalayan salt rock detoxification blocks. If you’ve tried the detoxifying pads, you know they can be very expensive. This is not only a cost saving alternative, because the salt crystal blocks have anti-bacterial properties, the whole family can use them for a healthier body.
* Warm the salt block using one of the following method.
1. Oven: 200 degrees for 5 minutes
2. Microwave: 30 seconds with 5 seconds increments to achieve desired temperature
* Place a towel on the floor and put the blocks side-by-side on top of the towel.
* As you can sit down in a comfortable chair, rest your bare feet directly on the salt block.
* 15 minutes treatment is all that is needed. Repeat once daily, as desired.
Cleaning
Simply wipe the Himalayan Salt Block with the towel that the Salt Block rests on. No additional cleaning is required, since these salt blocks are antiseptic and hypo-allergenic.
Caution
Use caution when warming the Himalayan Salt Blocks. Test the temperature of the salt block prior to use. If temperature is too hot set the bock aside for 15-20 minutes to cool. Repeat this procedure as necessary. Do not allow children to use this product without adult supervision.
Each foot-shaped block comes in a terrycloth sock; the set arrives in a cotton canvas carrying case with zipper top and handles. Each block is 4 ½” wide, 11″ long, 1″ thick.
If you are pregnant, under medical supervision, or taking medication, consult your physician before using the Himalayan Salt Detoxer . Not recommended for use by diabetics.

The Lidl Run Kildare Events 2013 were held at the Curragh Racecourse, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 12th May 2013. There were three events: a 10KM, a half marathon, and a full marathon. This is a selection of photographs which includes all events. The photographs are taken from the start and finish of the marathon, the finish of the 10KM, and the finish of the half marathon. Due to the large numbers participating we did not manage to photograph everyone - which was not helped by the weather. Congratulations to Jo Cawley and her RunKildare crew for another great event. The weather didn't dampen the spirits of the many happy participants.
Electronic timing was provided by Red Tag Timing [www.redtagtiming.com/]
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 3,000 participants over the 3 race events - there were runners, joggers, and walkers participating.
Weather: A cold breezy morning with heavy rain at the start. The weather dried up for the 10KM and the Half Marathon races
Course: This is an undulating course with some good flat stretches on the Curragh.

Can I use the photograph with the watermark?
Yes! Absolutely - you can post this photograph to your social networks, blogs, micro-blogging, etc.
How can I get a full resolution, no watermark, copy of these photographs?
All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.
If you would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Some people offer payment for our photographs. We do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would pay for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
THE IMPORTANCE OF GOURDCRAFTING
There was a maid servant
who had cleverly trained a donkey
to perform the services of a man.
From a gourd,
she had carved a flanged device
to fit on the donkey’s penis,
to keep him from going too far into her.
She had fashioned it just to the point
of her pleasure, and she greatly enjoyed
the arrangement, as often as she could!
She thrived, but the donkey was getting
a little thin and tired looking.
The mistress began to investigate. One day
she pecked through a crack in the door
and saw the animal’s marvelous member
and the delight of the girl
stretched under the donkey.
She said nothing. Later, she knocked on the door
and called the maid out on an errand,
a long and complicated errand,
I won’t go into details.
The servant knew what was happening, though.
“Ah, my mistress,” she tought to herself,
“you should not send away the expert.
When you begin to work without full knowledge,
you risk your life. Your shame keeps you
from asking me about the gourd, but you must have that to join with this donkey.
There’s a trick you don’t know!”
But the woman was too fascinated with her idea
to consider any danger. She led the donkey in
and closed the door, thinking, “ With no one around
I can shout in my pleasure”.
She was dizzy
with anticipation, her vagina glowing
and singing like a nightingale.
She arranged the chair under the donkey,
as she had seen the girl do. She raised her legs
and pulled him to her.
Her fire kindled more,
and the donkey politely pushed as she urged him to,
pushed trough her intestines,
and, without a word, she died.
The chair fell one way,
and she the other.
The room was smeared with blood.
Reader,
have you ever seen anyone martyred
for a donkey? Remember what the Qu’ran
says about the torment of disgracing yourself.
Don’t sacrifice your life to your animal-soul!
If you die of what that leads you to do,
you are just like this woman on the floor.
She is an image of immoderation.
Remember her,
and keep your balance.
The maidservant returns and says, “Yes, you saw
my pleasure, but you didn’t see the gourd
that put a limit on it. You opened
your shop before a master
taught you the craft.”

Prior to World War II and the invention of radar, acoustic mirrors were built as early warning devices around the coasts of Great Britain, with the aim of detecting incoming enemy aircraft by the sound of their engines. The most famous of these devices still stand at Denge on the Dungeness peninsula and at Hythe in Kent. Other examples exist in other parts of Britain (including Sunderland, Redcar, Boulby, Kilnsea) and Selsey Bill, and Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq in Malta. The Maltese sound mirror is known locally as "the ear" (il-Widna) and appears to be the only sound mirror built outside Great Britain.
Acoustic mirrors at Denge
The Dungeness mirrors, known colloquially as the "listening ears", consist of three large concrete reflectors built in the 1920s–1930s. Their experimental nature can be discerned by the different shapes of each of the three reflectors: one is a long, curved wall about 5 m high by 70 m long, while the other two are dish-shaped constructions approximately 4–5 m in diameter. Microphones placed at the foci of the reflectors enabled a listener to detect the sound of aircraft far out over the English Channel. The reflectors are not parabolic, but are actually spherical mirrors.[1] Spherical mirrors may be used for direction finding by moving the sensor rather than the mirror; another unusual example is the Arecibo Observatory.
Acoustic mirrors had a limited effectiveness, and the increasing speed of aircraft in the 1930s meant that they would already be too close to deal with by the time they had been detected. The development of radar put an end to further experimentation with the technique. Nevertheless, there were long-lasting benefits. The acoustic mirror programme, led by Dr William Sansome Tucker, had given Britain the methodology to use interconnected stations to pin point the position of an enemy in the sky. The system they developed for linking the stations and plotting aircraft movements was given to the early radar team and contributed to their success in World War II; although the British radar was less sophisticated than the German system, the British system was used more successfully.
There are three acoustic mirrors in the complex, each consisting of a single concrete hemispherical reflector.
The 200 foot mirror is a near vertical, curved wall, 200 feet (60m) long. It is one of only two similar acoustic mirrors in the world, the other being in Magħtab, Malta.
The 20 foot mirror is similar to the 30 foot mirror, with a smaller, shallower dish 6 m (20 ft) across. The design is close to that of an acoustic mirror in Kilnsea, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Acoustic mirrors did work, and could effectively be used to detect slow moving enemy aircraft before they came into sight. They worked by concentrating sound waves towards a central point, where a microphone would have been located. However, their use was limited as aircraft became faster. Operators also found it difficult to distinguish between aircraft and seagoing vessels. In any case, they quickly became obsolete due to the invention of radar in 1932. The experiment was abandoned, and the mirrors left to decay. The gravel extraction works caused some undermining of at least one of the structures.
Preventing deception is the job of anti-counterfeiting devices like the transparent window in the (all-plastic) Australian 10-dollar bill.

Here's the problem: I often shoot (or ask a passenger to shoot) photos from my plane. But I don't have a storm window, or any way to avoid shooting through the Lexan windows. A polarizer helps, but not always; vexing reflections are the norm.
Here's my solution.
Perhaps there is a commercially available product - but doing it this way was fun, satisfying, quick and cheap!
