I stumbled upon this open cluster while thumbing through Sky Safari and thought I would image it, given that a) this cluster is a bit obscure and b) the Moon was up, making it a good open cluster imaging night. There are various descriptions of this cluster online, but none of them mentioned the distinct "S" shape I see within it. The "S" is on its side in this photo, but I would say that it is very distinct. Could this be called the "S" cluster?
NGC2281 is in the constellation Auriga, about midway between Castor and Menkalinan (the other "top" star in Auriga, next to Capella). It is pretty close to the plane of the Milky Way, putting it in a star-rich area of the sky, and is about 1800 light years away.
This is a great cluster visually in my 80 mm scope... its members are bright pinpoints, gleaming like tiny diamonds in the eyepiece. I highly suggest giving this cluster a look visually.
Take a look at the full-resolution version of this image to get a nice, magnified view of this great cluster.
This image was created from 57 one-minute exposures. Unbelievably, I didn't have to throw away any of the subs I took... the autoguider, satellites, and airplanes all were cooperating nicely during this session. After the usual round of processing I threw in a hint of star spikes to give this image a little pizzazz.
Given myself an alphabet soup game. Two new photos and another two from my photostream or archives, when possible.
Not a very exciting start but something that was there for the using.

I haven't given her a name yet, so I don't know her story. She's wearing Triad's old Night Stalker outfit. She's got some serious long hair and it's very fine, I'm not sure what to do with it at the moment, though I may just leave it as is.
While I know the outfit was originally red and black like the video game character BloodRayne, it also reminded me a little of the outfit Jennifer Garner wore in Daredevil, hence the Sai.
Given the density of traffic using this road these days, this could be the first of several problems encountered by these equestrians. Fortunately here, there is a place for the horses to pull in, further up, it is more difficult.
Given how much these arms and bolts cost me, I want to show them off! In total it was something like just under £300 for the bits, plus fitting. I was getting a terrible clonking off the rear suspension due to worn bushes on the outer ends of the lower control arms, now it feels (and sounds) really tight. Oddly this problem wasn’t actually an MoT fail as it wasn’t on the steered axle.
The car may not look immaculate, but it’s my daily driver and I like it to drive properly. It’s very solid underneath and with 98k miles on the clock should have years’ more life left in it yet. With spares available off the other ones I own I want to keep it going for as long as I can.
Next job is to get the dented door repaired…
Given the sad news I would just like to thank all the admin at the Daily Post and the Post over the years who have chosen my pictures for print. It was because of this great paper that I gained the confidence to carry on with my photography which I don't think I would have if I hadn't have had a picture (top left) chosen by William Leece back in 2009.
It's sad to see the Post go, but good that there are no job loses. Good luck to those who will surely find themselves in new jobs hopefully at the Echo to give it a much needed boost making sure it doesn't go the way of its great sister paper.
Best Wishes

A postcard given to my Dad in 1945 by one of the four girls he knew in De-Haan.
For about eleven months during 1944 / 1945 when my Dad was in the army he was based at De-Hann. He was billeted with a family there. Their daughter Aline and her sister and two of their friends became friends of Dad.
When recently sorting through my Dads belongings this was one of about 35 photographs that I found which I did not even know existed. The photos are all connected with his army service during Word War II. Unfortunately not all the photos are dated and many do not have the location on where they are taken. I have tried my best to work them out and they are now all on here with the little information I have.
My Dad made quite a few friends during the war and he always kept in touch with them until he died. There was Alf Watton who was in the army with him. In 1941 he met Freda at Wadhurst, East Sussex. In 1944 he met Aline, Rachel, Marcelle and Yvonne at De-Haan, Belgium. In 1945 while in Holland he met Josephine (Amsterdam) and Jan (Breda).
In 1946 after the war Dad visited his friends in Wadhurst, Belgium and Holland. During the 1960’s 1970’s 1980’s and 1990’s along with Mum he had several holidays to visit his Belgium and Dutch friends. I also visited Freda and her husband Stan with Dad at Wadhurst in June 1972.
Also of interest found with the photographs were two diaries (1943 & 1945) that my Dad had made during the war. To date I have not read them as the writing is extremely difficult to read and I have just not had the time, I would imagine that when I do they will be quite interesting.

British postcard in the Cameo Series, London, no. KC 10. Photo: MGM.
Marion Davies (1897-1961) was one of the great comedic actresses of the silent era. She starred in nearly four dozen films between 1917 and 1937.
Marion Davies was born Marion Cecelia Douras in the borough of Brooklyn, New York in 1897. She had been bitten by the show biz bug early as she watched her sisters perform in local stage productions. She wanted to do the same. As Marion got older, she tried out for various school plays and did fairly well. Once her formal education had ended, Marion began her career as a chorus girl in New York City, first in the Pony Follies and eventually in the famous Ziegfeld Follies. Her stage name came when she and her family passed the Davies Insurance Building. One of her sisters called out "Davies!!! That shall be my stage name," and the whole family took on that name. Marion wanted more than to dance. Acting, to her, was the epitome of show business and she aimed her sights in that direction. She had met newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst and went to live with him at his San Simeon castle. They stayed together for over 30 years, while Hearst’s wife Millicent resided in New York. Millicent would not grant him a divorce so that he could marry Davies. San Simeon is a spectacular and elaborate mansion, which now stands as a California landmark. At San Simeon, the couple threw elaborate parties, which were frequented by all of the top names in Hollywood and other celebrities including the mayor of New York City, President Calvin Coolidge and Charles Lindbergh. When she was 20, Marion made her first film, Runaway Romany (George W. Lederer, 1917). Written by Marion and directed by her brother-in-law, the film wasn't exactly a box-office smash, but for Marion, it was a start and a stepping stone to bigger things. The following year Marion starred in The Burden of Proof (John G. Adolfi, Julius Steger, 1918) and Cecilia of the Pink Roses (Julius Steger, 1918). Hearst backed the latter film. Because of Hearst's newspaper empire, Marion would be promoted as no actress before her. She appeared in numerous films over the next few years, including the superior comedy Getting Mary Married (Allan Dwan, 1919) with Norman Kerry, the suspenseful The Cinema Murder (George D. Baker, 1919) and the drama The Restless Sex (Leon D'Usseau, Robert Z. Leonard, 1920) with Carlyle Blackwell.
In 1922, Marion Davies appeared as Mary Tudor in the historical romantic epic, When Knighthood Was in Flower (Robert G. Vignola, 1922). It was a film into which Hearst poured millions of dollars as a showcase for her. Although Marion didn't normally appear in period pieces, she turned in a wonderful performance and the film became a box office hit. Marion remained busy, one of the staples in movie houses around the country. At the end of the twenties, it was obvious that sound films were about to replace silent films. Marion was nervous because she had a stutter when she became excited and worried she wouldn't make a successful transition to the new medium, but she was a true professional who had no problem with the change. Time after time, film after film, Marion turned in masterful performances. Her best films were the comedies The Patsy (1928) also with Marie Dressler, and Show People (1929) with William Haines, both directed by King Vidor. In 1930, two of her better films were Not So Dumb (King Vidor, 1930) and The Florodora Girl (Harry Beaumont, 1930), with Lawrence Grant. By the early 1930s, Marion had lost her box office appeal and the downward slide began. Hearst tried to push MGM executives to hire Marion for the role of Elizabeth Barrett in The Barretts of Wimpole Street (Sidney Franklin, 1934). Louis B. Mayer had other ideas and hired producer Irving Thalberg's wife Norma Shearer instead. Hearst reacted by pulling his newspaper support for MGM without much impact. By the late 1930s Hearst was suffering financial reversals and it was Marion who bailed him out by selling off $1 million of her jewelry. Hearst's financial problems also spelt the end of her career. Although she had made the transition to sound, other stars fared better and her roles became fewer and further between. In 1937, a 40-year-old Marion filmed her last movie, Ever Since Eve (Lloyd Bacon, 1937) with Robert Montgomery. Out of films and with the intense pressures of her relationship with Hearst, Marion turned more and more to alcohol. Despite those problems, Marion was a very sharp and savvy businesswoman. When Hearst lay dying in 1951 at age 88, Davies was given a sedative by his lawyer. When she awoke several hours later, she discovered that Hearst had passed away and that his associates had removed his body as well as all his belongings and any trace that he had lived there with her. His family had a big formal funeral for him in San Francisco, from which she was banned. Later, Marion married for the first time at the age of 54, to Horace Brown. The union would last until she died of cancer in 1961 in Los Angeles, California. She was 64 years old. Upon Marion’s niece Patricia Van Cleve Lake's death, it was revealed she had been the love child of Davies and Hearst. The love affair of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst was mirrored in the films Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941), RKO 281 (Benjamin Ross, 1999), and The Cat's Meow (Peter Bogdanovich, 2001). In Citizen Kane (1941), the title character's second wife (played by Dorothy Comingore—an untalented singer whom he tries to promote—was widely assumed to be based on Davies. But many commentators, including Citizen Kane writer/director Orson Welles himself, have defended Davies' record as a gifted actress, to whom Hearst's patronage did more harm than good.

I seldom use buses in London these days because I don't understand them. I mean. Can I use my All-Day Travelcard? I think I tried it once and it was OK. And what about that "Buy tickets here before boarding" sign on the right? ...well, I just can't be bothered to go into it all. Everything was easy when you just got on, sat down and paid a harrassed but cheerful conductor from Trinidad. Same as I can't be bothered with the self-service machines on the underground. I just go to the man in the booth. I used to like those free-standing self-service machines, with the angled perspex tops on which were printed the names of stations which could be reached for a particular price. You went to the 3d machine for instance, inserted your three-penny bit, the machine extruded a ticket from between two little rollers and you were free to travel to any 3d station. Simple and unimprovable.
Only in London could a street be jammed which is open only to buses and taxis. When, in 1962, I first visited London, the number of taxis in the streets was one of the things that thrilled me. I don't think I'd knowingly seen a taxi before ...and those that existed in the provinces were just ordinary saloon cars with a light on top. Here there were so many that the demand sustained the livelihood of a specialist manufacturer. "Is that some kind of PT Cruiser they have here?" asked a first-time American visitor whom I conducted around London a few years back. So here I was, one day last month, due to meet Mrs B at Liverpool Street in an hour before returning to the car, which was parked at Epping. I thought I'd stroll from Oxford Circus to Marble Arch and then get the Central Line. Oxford Street is often described as architecturally dull, but there are some half decent, quite interesting buildings here and there, about to be augmented by that bulgy, caterpillar-like structure in the distance.
Given the treacherous conditions at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2007 you'd think the riders would take things slowly. That wasn't the case.
Concert given in memoriam for Donald, who died tragically in an accident while hillwalking in the highlands in 2015. He paticipated a lot in the edinburgh music scene by doing live audio recordings of gigs and open mics.
Given the importance of agriculture for the whole Ferghana basin, natural resources such as land and water have historically been amongst the most important factor in this regions development. The size of the population depending upon these resources is consequently a key political security, and environmental issue. The Ferghana valley is the most populous area in Central Asia. High population densities increase the risk of depletion of natural resources, and thus competition and even conflict for their control.

Washington's General Orders given at Cambridge, July 4, 1775
"The Continental Congress having now taken all the Troops of the several Colonies, which have been raised, or which may be hereafter raised, for the support and defence of the Liberties of America; into their Pay and Service: They are now the Troops of the United Provinces of North America; and it is hoped that all Distinctions of Colonies will be laid aside; so that one and the same spirit may animate the whole, and the only contest be, who shall render, on this great and trying occasion, the most essential Service to the great and common cause in which we are all engaged."
Cambridge Common was set aside as a common pasture and military drill ground in 1631, and has served as a center for religious, social and political activity ever since. George Washington took command of the Continental Army on the Common on July 3, 1775, beneath the Washington Elm, and it served as the army's encampment from 1775 to 1776. Today the ballfields and playgrounds are popular with families. In 1997, the first monument in the U.S. to the victims of the Irish Famine was unveiled on the Common.

This is a photograph from the 7th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 23rd October 2016 at 11:00. This photograph was taken on the River Boyne Bridge at Ashfield, Clonard, Co. Meath where the beautiful River Boyne marks the county administrative boundary between Kildare and Meath. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today. The weather didn't exactly play ball with some heavy showers of rain for both races. However this didn't do anything to dampen the atmosphere of the race.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157672030705623

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway. The weather was almost perfect for road running. A beautiful crisp autumn morning with dry cool conditions. 5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

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!

Houmas House / Burnside Plantation
40136 Highway 942
Darrow, Louisiana
Ascension Parish
NRHP Reference#:80001694
Added to NRHP:September 27, 1980
The first owners of the plantation were the indigenous Houmas Indians, who were given a land grant to occupy the fertile plain between the Mississippi and Lake Maurepas to the north.
The Houmas sold the land to Maurice Conway and Alexander Latil in 1774 by Celapane, Chief of the Bayou Goula and Houmas Indians.
The original French Provincial house that Latil erected on the property in is situated directly behind the Mansion, adjoined by a carriageway to the grand home described during its antebellum heyday as "The Sugar Palace." The original home was later used as living quarters for the staff that served the great house.

By the time of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the plantation was established and producing sugar.
In 1810, Revolutionary War hero Gen. Wade Hampton of Virginia purchased the property and shortly thereafter began construction on the Mansion. However, it was not until 1825 when Hampton's daughter, Caroline, and her husband, Col. John Preston, took over the property that the grand house truly began to take shape.
Construction on the Mansion was completed in 1828. At the same time, Houmas House began to build its sugar production and continued to increase its land holdings, which ultimately grew to 300,000 acres.
Irishman John Burnside bought the plantation in 1857 for $1 million. A businessman and a character, Burnside increased production of sugar until Houmas House was the largest producer in the country, actively working the crop on 98,000 acres. During the Civil War, Burnside saved the Mansion from destruction at the hands of advancing Union forces by declaring immunity as a subject of the British Crown. In addition to building a railway to carry his products to market —"The Sugar Cane Train (1862)" — Burnside, a bachelor, is also said to have offered payment to any parents in the parish who would name their sons "John."
An avid sportsman who wagered heavily in horse races, Burnside once secretly purchased a champion thoroughbred back East with the intent of defeating the steeds of fellow local businessmen in a big race. He quietly slipped the racehorse into the billiard room of the Mansion where it was "stabled" until Burnside's surprise was unveiled at the starting line and hailed in the winner's circle.
Houmas House flourished under Burnside's ownership, but it was under a successor, Col. William Porcher Miles that the plantation grew to its apex in the late 1800's when it was producing a monumental 20 million pounds of sugar each year.
In 1927, the Mississippi came out of its banks in the epic "great flood." While Houmas House was spared, the surrounding areas were inundated. The ensuing economic havoc was but a prelude to the devastation of the Great Depression just two years later.
Houmas House Plantation withered away. The Mansion closed and fell into disrepair, a condition in which it remained until 1940 when Dr. George B. Crozat purchased it.
Crozat bought Houmas House to be a summer home away from his native New Orleans. He renovated the property with the intent to give it a more "Federal" look than the stately Greek Revival style in which it was conceived. The structure was painted white inside and out. Crown moldings and ceiling medallions were removed and both interior and exterior forms and finishes were simplified.
Eventually, the Crozat heirs opened the property to tourists. In 1963, the defining Bette Davis film "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" was shot in the property. The room in which Ms. Davis stayed while filming is preserved as part of today's Houmas House tour.
Current owner, Kevin Kelly, who fulfilled a lifelong dream by acquiring the property in the Spring of 2003, the mansion today reflects the best parts of each period in its rich history alongside the big bend in the Mississippi River.

Námaskarð, situated 6km east of lake Mývatn at the foothills of the towering mountain Námafjall, is the name popularly given to Iceland’s best-known area of mud pools. The high-temperature geothermal area is more correctly known as Hverarðnd, although sometimes it is called the Námafjall Geothermal Area because of its proximity to the mountain.
Námaskarð earns its notoriety mainly because of its hot bubbling mud pools and sulphurous steam vents (solfataras or fumaroles) which are spread over an area of several acres. At a depth of 1000m, the temperature is above 200o C; even at the surface the mud in the pools can be at a temperature of 80-100o C so they must be approached with caution. The most active mud pools are those with a crater rim around them, formed from the splatter caused by escaping gas bubbles. The pools are not static but evolve over time, with new pools starting up and old ones dying out as the years pass.
The mud pools are like primitive chemical plants. Steam and water, percolating upwards through porous rock to the surface, contain dissolved chemicals and gases, mainly hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. When they react with oxygen in the air, mineral deposits, like sulphur and gypsum, are formed. Iron sulphide, commonly called pyrite, forms in the mud pools, giving them a dull blue-black hue. Also present is sulphuric acid, which breaks down the surrounding soil and rocks, forming sticky clay mud.
EDPA award for outstanding contributions in drug development in the form of an award of letter of appreciation given on 27th July 2014 at Hotel Lemon tree Kaushambi, opposite Anand Vihar Metro station Delhi. This bioenhanced anti tubercular formulation Risorine is based on a pioneering discovery of world's first bioenhancer Piperine discovered (and reported in IDMA bulletin) in 1979 by Dr.C.K.Atal (former Director and research team leader at IIIM Jammu, formerly called RRL Jammu) along with his research team.This discovery scientifically established a new chapter of Bioenhncers in science.This term did not exist before. Dr Atal also initiated the bioenhanced antitubercular research project which resulted in development of world's first bioenhanced antitubercular formulation developed by CSIR.It was officially released by Indian government on world TB day 2011 at Anusandhan Bhawan Delhi and also presented to world dignitary Mr. Bill gates ,Chairman of Microsoft at Hotel Le Meridian, Delhi same day.
This is a basic discovery which has scientifically established a new chapter of Bioenhancers in science.Initially called Bio-availability enhancers by Dr Atal and his team, it was later renamed Bioenhancers in short as further research continued globally.
Dr.Atal also received the Indian medical Association (EDB,Delhi)CHIKITSA SEVA RATTAN(RATNA) award in 2010 for this discovery.
