Area I expecting and new parents meet at the Camp Casey Community Activity Center June 2, 2012, for a Baby Shower. Various garrison activities had boothes where they passed out information. Dads-to-be were given a chance to see what it was like to be pregnant with the "empathy belly". Both parents also got the chance to see who could change their "baby's" diaper and try to guess the flavor of baby food. U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth
Another blooming successful catch!
August is upon us, and the mild weather looks set to continue, with a few outbreaks
of rain here and there expected over the next week. Today was hot and humid and with
a high of 34 degrees, it would have been rude not to set the trap up!
Despite clear skies the temperature was still 19 degrees at 6am this morning. Moths
were absolutely everywhere, in the trap, on the wall and within the long grass. It
took just over an hour of sorting. Unfortunately quite a few had passed away, possibly
to do with 4 dead wasps in the trap and a combination of high temperature and the sheer
amount of Dot Moths and Dark Arches, the latter numbering close to 80 individuals.
Best Macro moths were Barred Hook-tip, Campion, Slender Brindle and the long awaited
Swallow Prominent (having had Lesser Swallow on numerous occasions)
Best Micro moths were 3 Limnaecia phragmitella, Clavigesta purdeyi and the tiny Epinotia nanana. Adding 3 new Micros to my all time list was very pleasing indeed.
I will be trapping again on Sunday night.

....the Spanish Inquisition! Every Halloween my High School bud C.R. would have a costume party at his house in First Colony subdivision. I think this is either from my junior year or senior year. I decided to come as "The Spanish Inquisition", from the Monty Python sketch of the same name. We were all massively Monty Python geeks in High School, watching it religiously on PBS every weekend, and The Benny Hill Show on the WB, Channel 39. Only place on network/public television you could catch brief frontal female nudity without paying for cable. Partial answer to a High School boy's dream...(we were all horny little bastards and mostly still are, just less dorky).
Processions, an element in all ceremonial, are to be found, as we should expect, in almost every form of religious worship. The example of the processions with the Ark in the Old Testament (cf. especially 2 Samuel 6 and 1 Kings 8) and the triumphant entry of our Saviour into Jerusalem in the New were probably not without influence upon the ritual of later ages. Even before the age of Constantine, the funeral processions of the Christians seem to have been carried out with a certain amount of solemnity, and the use of the word by Tertullian (De Praescriptio, xliii) may possibly have reference to some formal progress or movement of the faithful churchwards, which led afterwards to the assembly itself or the service being called processio as well as synaxis and collecta (Probst, "Sakramentarien und Ord.", 205). About the time of St. Gregory the Great, and possibly earlier, two forms of procession played a great part in papal ceremonial. The one was the procession to the "Station", the other the solemn entry of the celebrant from the secretarium, or sacristy, to the altar. A good description of the stational procession is given in the St. Amand Ordo, n. 6 (Duchesne, "Christian Worship", 474). The pontiff, the clergy, and the people assembled in the appointed church, where the clergy vested and the office was begun. The poor people of the hospital went first with a painted wooden cross; the seven stationary crosses, with three candles each and a retinue, followed, and then the bishops, priests, and subdeacons; finally came the pope surrounded by his deacons, with two crosses borne before him and the schola cantorum or choir following behind him. As the procession moved along to the stational church where the Mass was to be offered the Kyrie Eleison and the litanies were sung, from which the procession itself was often called litania. The solemn entrance of the celebrant as he proceeded from the sacristy to the altar was of course a procession on a smaller scale, but this also is minutely described in the first "Ordo". The pontiff was again surrounded by his deacons and preceded by the subdeacons, one of whom swung a thurible, and a conspicuous feature was the group of seven acolytes carrying tapers, which make us think of the seven candles now lighted on the altar at a pontifical High Mass. In this procession to the altar the antiphon of the introit was sung. On certain special occasions, notably St. Mark's Day (25 April), which coincided with the old Roman festival of the Robigalia, and in Gaul on the three Rogation Days before the feast of the Ascension, there were processions of exceptional solemnity
I thought these fly agaric mushrooms were all finished, but just to prove me wrong here’s one in the pine forest alongside Entwistle Reservoir, Bolton.
Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection.
The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

I wasn't expecting this unit to come through. What happened is that CP 244 entered London this morning but then swapped out the lead pumpkin for a pair of CP units before continuing east. I know CP 254 sometimes runs on Mondays and once again just like CP 254 seen last month didn't think much of it until I was told it was on said train and in front, which motivated me to get out and catch it...multiple times. Here is the first catch of CP 254 with BNSF 5479 (in a nice H2 scheme) and CP 8935 as it hauls a short train south to Kinnear Yard on the CP Hamilton Subdivision. Really nice to catch this movement as Mondays are typically slower for rail traffic. Thanks to everyone for the information; always appreciated.
Another trip downstairs 1am in the morning, or is it midnight?

Hometown boy returns as a 69 year old rocker after blowing in the wind all these years. A lil' raspy, as some might expect, but that's not bad, just time having it's say. Actually he and the band sounded good, and as much of the concert that I heard, it was pleasing. I walked the concert grounds outside and on the Bayfront, listening to the tunes drift in the air. Nice time, fun to chat with some, too. Hi Ches and Diane ...
I decided to Mucho El Grande the font, as the name, Bob Dylan, as an icon is larger than life. Fame is what it is. Superimposed on the photo of him and his band on the stage sort of says it all. The photo was taken about a half a block away, on a dark night, the band moving, high iso, on a tripod, and cropped about 80%, the stage dimly lit as well. Difficult conditions, this photo the best of the bunch.
Kind regards ...
Contrary to some of the rumors going around, (tic), there was no Dubstep, at least not what I could hear, and the rendition of him and the band doing Gangnam Style is totally false. I left a little early, so the rumor of him doing Call me Maybe by Carly Rae, may have some truth to it, but I doubt it. Bob will be Bob, will be Bob, and that's something that we can all be thankful for.
A memory of Bob's music that seems to stick in my head, it was a date night long ago, the girl was Lolly from Oshkosh, we were sitting in a booth at Sammy's Pizza on First Street, the song on the Jukebox was Lay Lady Lay, Lay across my big brass bed. It was brand new just released.
Funny how associations for some things just stick, the simple imagery and easy to recall lyrics. One of my favorites was Blowing in the Wind, I was a Peter Paul and Mary fan, too.
I like Bob's music, it was around growing up, and influenced a generation.
It took me a lot longer than I had expected to get these pictures up from last weekend, but it's been hard to find time between my job and volunteering. Taking pictures just has not been the most important thing for me at this point, but nevertheless I will continue squeezing the shutter whenever I can. Hopefully, we will all be able to see dramatic transformation of these areas back into their original beauty, but it is clearly a long road ahead.
If you live in the area and wish to help, please contact me and I will send you a list of volunteer centers throughout Miyagi as well as a list of important equipment to bring with you. If you do decide to volunteer, please go with an organized group and bring the necessary equipment. I don't mean to frighten anyone, but I was notified again today that there still are dangerous areas. Don't go alone, please.
Here is a video that I took of the area the same day I took these pictures:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CazswZd454o
The area that these pictures were taken, was utterly obliterated by the tsunami. After a few hours of hauling items back and forth between my friends' destroyed home, I started to get a headache and feel sick from the fumes. In my last post, I also mentioned that I had heard of people setting off explosions and starting fires from trying to light their cigarettes.
We worked amidst pure devastation for about 5 Hours, however we were only able to salvage a handful of their things. Sometimes it was hard to know what was theirs, since the tsunami had swept a whole city worth of belongings through the first floor of their home.
Surprisingly, the four-year-old house was in pretty good shape despite the fact that it was blown back off of its foundation about 200 feet and sat about 10-15 degrees off of level (in the video I said 60 feet, but I meant to say 60 meters. The distance and angle is still a total guess, but you can judge for yourself in the pictures/video). The structure of house was in such good condition, that we were able to walk up to the second floor and salvage most of the dry, smaller items. Their daughter was just given a brand new bed and desk-set as an elementary graduation present, but we unfortunately could not take it out.
The reason we needed to go and salvage what we could as quickly as possible was because the house, although it did not look like it, was sitting in the middle of a road. The city and self defense force had given them only a few more days to clear out before they would have to bulldoze it down.
I asked the family if they had tsunami insurance, but apparently there is no tsunami insurance. They will receive a small amount of money from the government, but it will not even come close to covering the damage they sustained.
The most dumbfounding part of that day for me was not surreal experience of walking through the total destruction of an entire town, but rather the laughing and smiling that came from a family who just lost everything- everything except each other. Items and worldly possessions are of little value against the people we hold dear. I tried to reciprocate the smiles, laughter, and healthy conversation (especially in light of the children), but it wasn't easy fighting off the grim emotions lurking below the surface.
This last weekend, I was able to volunteer for a short time in Downtown Ishinomaki and also take a few more pictures/video The downtown area seems to be getting a lot more attention, and about half of the roads seem traversable. Downtown also felt incredibly safe during the day time due to the dozens of police and military (both Japanese and US) walking the streets and distributing food and water at the camps. I will post those pictures later this week.
I know my website is in shambles right now (I just have not had time), but I'm hoping to have it looking nicer as soon as possible. I've never really sold anything from my website, but I'm going to donate all of the money I earn from ANY of the pictures I sell (not just the quake photos) to Red Cross Japan for at least the next year. Please take it into consideration. Here is my site:
In addition, I contributed many of my pictures to QUAKEBOOK.org, and if you have never heard this organization, PLEASE check them out as well. All of Quakebook's revenue will also go towards the Red Cross Japan.
Lastly, you can contribute directly to Red Cross Japan here:

Thank you very much for facing this tragedy with us. With cooperation, strength, and perseverance, we can accomplish anything.
Take care,

My monthly walk guided by Roy Hazel & accompanied by Keith Hughes & Bramble. Today the walk was about 12 Hazel miles in weather much better than expected from the forecast. It did start off dismally at Coombe Hill NT carpark about 8.30am but the amazing pollarded trees and bluebells here soon put us in high spirits. Heading South through High Scrub & Dunsmore, turning West eventually at Cobblershill Farm passing along a cunningly hidden path into Hampdenleaf Wood, at the far side briefly stopping for Sheila's bread pudding & a hot drink while enjoying the peaceful vale ahead, gradually being bathed in sunlight, revealing a Brown Hare standing still in the middle of a field of wheat. Across the valley we encountered an odd structure, part church, part medieval building, Little Hampden Church. Over the west side of this ridge and through a bluebell swathed copse across the Prestwood to Askett road & up across wheat and pine wood (passing a large Wellingtonia) to Hampden House in bright sunshine greeted by the sounds of demented barking from beyond a tall Laurel hedge. Giving the house HAHA a slight birth we turned north west up the tree lined avenue & then diagonally across a very stunted & dry field of wheat towards Barnes Grove where realised we should turn NE along Grim@s Dyke & the edge Kingsfield Wood & on into Knighton's Hill Wood, then around Green Hailey Farm leading into the steep descent of Whiteleaf Hill, still in brilliant sunshine, to the welcoming sign of The Red Lion for a refreshing pint of Aylesbury Pale Ale taken outside as we watched a steady stream of AT Bikers struggling past with a clicking of cogs & a lot of puffing. we all agreed one pint was adequate & off we set again across a cricket pitch where members of the team were praying to Mohammed before play, then through a pristine golf course and eventually up the long slog through Grangelands & Rifle Range BBOWLT nature reserve to the foot of Pulpit Hill where a quick bite was taken sat amongst the prickles of a cleared Blacthorn scrub. It was a long & winding plod through Pulpit & Pond Woods down in sight of Chequers through more stunning masses of Bluebells down to across the same road crossed earlier and through yet another field of wheat (this looked much healthier) up to Buckmoorland & up a never-ending sunken lane in dappled sun up to Goodmerhill Wood & on through Fugsdon Wood, eventually regaining the trail that we had descended 7 or so hours earlier. The scene had changed since 8.30am, now heaving with cars, children and dogs. Ditching our rucksacks we staggered a few hundred yards to The Monument to wonder at the view and how far we could see across several counties, even to Kings Wood on the Greensand Ridge. So safe home very weary but all agreed a great walk, certainly the best so far this year. My thanks already given to Roy & Keith, I should like to add thanks to Sheila for her sustaining bread pudding and to Bramble for all her encouragement as I staggered at the rear when every 10 minutes or so she would rush down to find where I was and after a swift pat rushed back to inspect the trail ahead. :)
RICHMOND, Calif., - More than 300 volunteers are expected to roll-up their sleeves to rebuild the aging John F. Kennedy Park into a community gem. The City of Richmond, in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, is championing the one-day community-build park project in the City’s Park Plaza neighborhood, which will also include the installation of more than neighborhood trees in celebration of Arbor Day.
Built in 1968, the seven-acre park will be renovated to meet the changing needs of today’s park users and bring multiple benefits to the neighborhood. The project and process is a catalyst of a new era for park revitalization and cross-sector partnerships.
“I’ll be there with a wheel barrel and ready to work,” said Mayor Tom Butt who’s a strong supporter of expanding the City’s urban park footprint. “I applaud the commitment of the neighborhood residents who have been working with our urban planners to redesign the park into something we can all be proud of.”
Since April 2015, more than 400 community members have joined in the participatory process to design the park improvements. Together, they are helping shape future programs aimed at improving quality of life and providing connections to meaningful, safe, beautiful outdoor spaces for people of all ages.
“Our park has been underutilized for many years for a variety of reasons,” says Madalyn Law, President of the Park Plaza Neighborhood Council. “The rebuild of JFK Park gives our neighbors an opportunity to use the park again in a more positive environment with new features designed for all ages to come together for health and wellness and fun in the outdoors.
Generously funded and technically supported by The Trust for Public Land, the new design will feature a family zone with a children’s playscape, offering a fun environment designed to enhance youth's imagination around play, and build positive childhood memories. The park will be the home of the City of Richmond’s first Fitness ZoneTM and fitness trail. Together, the fully-accessible and senior-friendly fitness zone and the fitness trail encourage area residents to meet in the park and support one another in healthy lifestyle choices and strengthening social ties.
“Every Richmond resident deserves a quality park within walking distance from their home,” said Gina Fromer, The Trust for Public Land California State Director. “Good parks make neighborhoods healthy and whole.”
Other park improvements include a community garden, the installation of energy efficient LED lights, a 5,000 square foot mural, and a rain garden.
“With the new improvements going into the park, I have no doubt that it will be a community treasure for generations to come,” said Mayor Butt. “Open space that has a mix of passive and active use and is appropriate for different age groups means everyone in our community will be able to enjoy it.”
The upcoming volunteer action is part of the City’s on-going commitment to invest in its neighborhoods. Earlier this year, more than 100 volunteers came together to rebuild the softball field in an event sponsored by O.C. Jones & Sons, beginning a powerful movement for change in the neighborhood.
Chevron is providing funding for the Chevron STEM Learning Center and Community Plaza, which will provide a teaching space for local schools to use to explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as a picnic pavilion for residents to enjoy.
“We are proud to partner with the City of Richmond on this park project, which will help spark interest in STEM for students at neighboring schools,” said Kory Judd, general manager of the Chevron Richmond Refinery. “The John F. Kennedy Park provides a unique opportunity for our neighbors and students to enjoy the park space and explore STEM education in a park setting.”
In addition to the community-build park event, the public is invited to visit The 50 Tour: Champions of the Bay presented by Chevron. The tour will feature the eight Vince Lombardi trophies from the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers and a guest appearance by an NFL legend. It will also feature the Chevron STEM Zone, an interactive learning space that demonstrates how STEM fuels innovation all around us – through the lens of football.
"I've been a proud resident of the south east community for over 40 years and it's wonderful that some of our requested neighborhood improvements are coming to fruition," said Naomi Williams, President of the Pullman Neighborhood Council. "With the park improvements and the reopening of the Richmond Swim Center, we are seeing a south east renaissance."
