More than 100 Soldiers, Civilians, Retirees and Family Members joined Korean volunteers today for the second annual Humphreys Make a Difference Day at Deog Dong San Park in Pyeongtaek.
The volunteers spent the morning picking up trash, raking leaves and conducting beautification projects under the watchful eyes of the Pyeongtaek City Parks and Greenbelt Management Division.
Following the work the volunteers enjoyed lunch, a performance by the ShinHan Middle School traditional dance team and a post-work awards ceremony.

The main difference between the landscape park and the asylum estate was the presence next to the asylum building of enclosed exercise yards, or airing courts, which replaced the typical Victorian formal terrace which surrounded so many country houses. Male and female patients were, as always, segregated, and for each sex there were several airing courts allocated to different medical classes of patients. The airing courts were laid out ornamentally, usually to enhance a pleasant, elevated view out which was perceived to calm and cheer the patients, and contained benches and shelters, and perhaps privies. From 1950s the airing courts were often opened up by the removal of boundaries, in order to provide a less confined atmosphere for patients.

Cane Hill was the Third Surrey County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, necessitated after the Springfield (1842) and Brookwood (1862) asylums were filled to capacity. Surrey Council (charged with the provision of care for the insane under the 1845 asylum act) therefore re-employed the architect of Brookwood, Charles Henry Howell, to design and build the new asylum, which would be sited on a hilltop overlooking Coulsdon and the Farthing Downs.
By this time Howell was the principle asylum architect in England and an advisor for the Commission of Lunacy. Cane Hill was therefore designed by a master architect, built to high standards and became a show piece and the largest building of its type in the UK.
The asylum was completed in 1882 and represented the final say in “radiating ward asylums” – the pavilion blocks comprising the wards were linked to an internal horseshoe shaped corridor. The hospital was divided into female and male halves, the vertical symmetry being cut along its centre by the administration block, a Chapel, a large recreation and dining hall, kitchens, stores and laundry (with drying grounds at the back of the structure). A large water tower provided the necessary pressure for a building of its immensity, around which were clustered stores, maintenance and ancillary buildings.

HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Joining millions of people around the world, about 250 members of the U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys community, along with 100 students and adults from Pyeongtaek City, participated in Make a Difference Day by helping to clean up Deog Dong San City Park, in Pyeongtaek, Oct. 23.
According to Denise Chappell, the Army Community Service volunteer coordinator and project officer for the event, “Make a Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others; a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.”
The program was created by USA Weekend Magazine 20 years ago and has become an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of October.
This was the third year in a row that the garrison partnered with the local community to participate in the program.
At the park, volunteers from the Bright Society-Goodwill, Cooperation and Service Shinhan High School Chapter, Pyeongtaek City’s Park and Green Belt Management Division and People-to-People International Shinhan High School Chapter, were waiting with gloves and trash bags, ready to get started.
In addition to picking up trash, there was also a need to help build a nicer walking trail, which required some of the volunteers to carry stone and shale, which were leveled out by other helpers. This was used to provide better traction for those who walk the trail on a regular basis.

Forbiddance against waste disposal. First I thought: Make assurance double sure. But then I found the nice distinctions in the middle texts. It's amazingly, in which languages the municipal administration Altstätten, Switzerland expresses itself. I only know one of them. Oct 28, 2007.
Version 3 on the left, Version 2 on the right. In Ver 3, the paint most obviously is of a different quality. The aperture scale is white numbers on black anodise, as opposed to black numbers on shiny aluminum in Ver 2. The bearing plates look to be the same, but the one in Ver 3 is mangled, which was probably the source of the shutter speed selector binding I experienced when installing it on the camera.
One thing that can't be seen here, is that the depth of the bayonets differs, with Ver 2 being taller when stacked next to the Ver 3 ones. Also, the slot that the aperture control arm resides in is wider on Ver 2.
Here's a "Difference of Decades" that's not. The previous shot in my photostream is from February 2006; this one's from Oct. 8, 2005. The location is nearly identical, though I shot this one with a big tele and the last one wide angle. Note the blue water of Lake Superior in the background. If it looks like a hill, it is: this bowling ball is rolling up a 2.2 percent. The big change, of course, is the removal of Main 2. This is yet another product of getting my "voluntary days" granted.
Other than Main 2, I'd imagine this shot would look pretty much the same today. Cept the locomotive consist might be slightly different.
You guys liking this stuff? Shall I continue? I know it's cheap substitute for Steve and his Fs, but you guys' pain is my pleasure.

I chose this title, because there are a woman and a man who are challenging each other. The man is probably stronger than the woman, but she still keeps "fighting". We must overcome sexual distinction.

This was inspired by my best friend Mackenzie. We went and picked up our schedules yesterday, got lunch, and had to come back for our college credit course review test( ridiculously easy). Then Mac saw that her guy Matt was also taking the test.
So we went and got tea in Shelby( my new Honda Fit!) at Starbucks. Matt texted Mac so we went and picked him up and then we all went to his house where we watched House( fantastic show).
Matt's dad came home about 5 minutes after we got there and finally met Mackenzie for the first time. They seemed to get along pretty well. But the odd thing was Matt's dad kept calling me Mackenzie...so I assumed he just wasn't good with names.
Mackenzie talked to me this morning and the story was rather more interesting than i'de assumed.
Matt's dad is a pastor and Mackenzie is an atheist. Matt's dad is used to him dating the typical popular, attractive, but shallow, highschool girl. So the whole time we were at the house Matt's dad assumed Matt was talking about liking me, when honestly he is quite devoted to Mackenzie. Just because I was dressed nicely( heels, new shirt, nice jeans, curled hair) and Mackenzie was just wearing a tank top and jeans with sneakers, her dad assumed Matt would like me.
Apparently Matt's parents were confused as to why he liked Mackenzie and not me.
I found this rather upsetting. Mackenzie is my best friend. She is a wonderfully intelligent, eccentric, and beautiful person who is so full of a love for all that is life. And just because she wasn't Matt's "typical" kind of girl his parents weren't that fond of her. It's so strange how some can be so narrow minded.
Matt plainly told his parents he was tired of being the typical highschool quarter back...dating cheerleaders and dating only for appearance. Matt found a wonderful person. And neither Mackenzie nor Matt should have to give up what they might have for such superficial reasons.
Sorry the pictures small. I accidentally saved a small version :/
Craftivism: Making a Difference in the World~ One Stitch at a Time
KnitLit group, spring 2011 Haverstraw Middle School, Haverstraw, NY
People are doing it. They are doing it on subways, in restaurants and on airplanes. They are doing it in baseball stadiums, movie theaters and in the park. They are doing Craftivism and everywhere you turn you can find people of all ages, races, creeds and religions participating in what has become a global phenomenon of making the world a better place- one stitch at a time.
The term “craftivism”, hybrid of the words craft + activism, was coined in 2003 by creator and knitter, Betsy Greer. It is a movement based upon the idea that a person’s time and talent can really make a difference in the world. Most craftivists are knitters and crocheters looking to find different and more meaningful ways to share their craft and it is being used to bring attention to a multitude of causes. Craftivists help to bring about positive change in the world through their skills.
Some of the causes targeted in the craftivism movement are environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-sweatshop, anti-war a well as various personal causes such as breast cancer awareness, literacy, homelessness, domestic violence and children born into poverty. Knitters and crocheters around the world participate in covert “yarn-bombing” escapades, mimicking graffiti street art only with hand knitted fabrics sewn around trees, light poles and statues using their art to beautify the things around them.
It is here that I introduce you to New Yorker Betsy Rodman, a fellow knitter and craftivist. Betsy is the founder of Project Scarf. Project Scarf is bringing knitters from all over the world to join in creating the world’s longest scarf. Separate sections of knitted scarves are sent in to and assembled by Betsy to form a larger scarf. What does one do with the world’s longest scarf, you might ask? When the project is complete, the sections will be disassembled and the individual scarves are distributed to various organizations to provide to help keep warm those who have little.
Betsy also founded the KnitLit program in her local school. This program teaches kids the skill of knitting. Squares are knitted and sewn together to form blankets which are also distributed to those in need. The kids involved in the program choose where to donate. However, this ain’t your grandma's knitting bee- these kids also listen to great books on audio and discuss them as they are knitting. Betsy has had tremendous success in her school and hopes to one day be able to bring KnitLit to schools across the nation. I got to ask Betsy a few questions about herself and her programs.

This photograph has been taken from the Turners Collection at Tyne & Wear Archives. Turners were a commercial photographic company based at Pink Lane, in Newcastle upon Tyne. These Aerial Photographs of Sunderland were taken in 1969.
Inspired by the upcoming Grayson Perry exhibition 'The Vanity in small differences' Tyne & Wear Archives have created this set in reaction to some of the themes surrounding Sunderland and its social make up that have been explored by Grayson Perry in his six large scale tapestries.
This set features both Social and Landscape Photography of a nostalgic Sunderland; these consist of both Aerial views of the physical make up of Sunderland's landscape, mixed with social portraits of the working community and industrial scenes traditionally associated with Sunderland's Heritage. Both are relevant to Grayson Perry's upcoming collection of Tapestries exploring the story of class mobility and the influence social class has on our aesthetic taste.
When recently interviewed on the subject Perry states "When I asked club singer Sean Foster-Conley what I should feature in my tapestries to show working-class taste, he said “the mines and shipyards”. “But they no longer exist,” I replied. In a very important way, however, he was right. The heavy industries that shaped the north of England also shaped the emotional lives of the generations of people who lived there. Winding towers and cranes can be torn down in a day, but the bonds, formed through shared hardship working under them, live on."
These images of a community driven by industry, mixed with Aerial
Views of the physical make up of Sunderland during this time reflect on Perry's view of the eternal relevance that Sunderland's social and industrial past has on its present community.

This false-color mosaic, made from infrared data collected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, reveals the differences in the composition of surface materials around hydrocarbon lakes at Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Titan is the only other place in the solar system that we know has stable liquid on its surface, though its lakes are made of liquid ethane and methane rather than liquid water. While there is one large lake and a few smaller ones near Titan's south pole, almost all of Titan's lakes appear near the moon's north pole.
Scientists mapped near-infrared colors onto the visible color spectrum. Red in this image was assigned a wavelength of 5 microns (10 times longer than visible light), green 2.0 microns (four times longer than visible light), and blue 1.3 microns (2.6 times longer than visible light).
The orange areas are thought to be evaporite -- the Titan equivalent of salt flats on Earth. The evaporated material is thought to be organic chemicals originally from Titan's haze particles that once dissolved in liquid methane. They appear orange in this image against the greenish backdrop of Titan's typical bedrock of water ice.
In this mosaic, Kraken Mare, which is Titan's largest sea and covers about the same area as Earth's Caspian Sea and Lake Superior combined, can be seen spreading out with many tendrils on the upper right,. The big dark zone up and left of Kraken is Ligeia Mare, the second largest sea. Below Ligeia, shaped similar to a sports fan's foam finger that points just up from left, is Punga Mare, the third largest Titan Sea. Numerous other smaller lakes dot the area. Titan's north pole is located in the geographic location just above the end of the "finger" of Punga Mare.
The annotated version of this image highlights a high-resolution strip and shows the north pole marked with a red cross. Other smaller lakes are also labeled.
An unannotated version is also available.
The data shown here were obtained by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer during a close flyby of Titan on Sept. 12, 2013.
Until now, the spectrometer has only been able to capture distant, oblique or partial views of this area. The Sept. 12, 2013, flyby provided better viewing geometry. And sunlight has begun to pierce the winter darkness that shrouded Titan's north pole at the time of Cassini's arrival in the Saturn system nine years ago. A thick cap of haze that once hung over the north pole has also dissipated as northern summer approaches. And, thankfully, Titan's beautiful, almost cloudless, rain-free weather continued during this flyby.
The resolution varies across this composite view depending on when each cube of data was acquired, but the best surface sampling is 2 miles (3 kilometers) per pixel.
Views of this area by other Cassini instruments include PIA17471, PIA17472, PIA17473 and PIA14584 from the imaging science subsystem; and PIA10008 and PIA17031 from the radar mapper. An earlier VIMS view can be seen at PIA16845.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and the visual and infrared mapping spectrometer were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. VIMS operations are based at the University of Arizona, Tucson.
