And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back."

¿Y tú cómo vas?
tienes mala cara,
no me digas más,
si yo te contara…
falleció mi suegro,
me operé del quiste,
¿tú me ves más triste?
Y me doy con un canto en los dientes
porque a la presente,
y, cruzando los dedos,
lo puedo contar,
aunque, gracias a Dios,
yo no soy creyente,
con lo que una ha visto,
y que Dios me perdone,
no hay que ser muy lista.
Pa mí… Jesucristo
el primer comunista.
Como te digo una “co” te digo la “o”
¿Y las religiones?
Ponme una de cada,
que están rebajadas
en el Corte Inglés.
¿Y cual es la mejor?
Mire usted, la mía,
porque es de cajón
que algo tiene que haber.
Llámalo equis,
me parece bien.
Llámalo energía,
mejor todavía
¿Y los curas?
esos ni en pintura
¿Y el tarot, y la astrología?
me los hice ayer en la peluquería
¿Y el dinero?
el único Dios verdadero
¿Y Lutero y Buda y Mahoma?
con su pan se lo coman
¿Y qué opinas del Papa de Roma?
ese… un particular.
¿Pero a ti qué te voy a contar?
Fíjate que yo,
sin ser socialista
de las de carné
y hasta aquí del GAL
y de la corrupción,
que sí, que existió,
una mala gripe
que había que pasar,
pero te decía, como mi Felipe
pa mí que no hay dos,
y si no, tú misma,
porque el del bigote
no tiene carisma,
Como te digo una “co” te digo la “o”...

1972 fire in Bishop Eton monastery roof, Woolton Rd Liverpool 18. The box on the roof of the appliance is a Hi-Ex foam applicator used for when the booms are extended. All Liverpool PHP's were fitted accordingly.This PHP was from Canning Place.
This cottage was apparently built by Henry Hersey (1795-1866) and his son, also Henry (1827-1893), possibly c. 1860, one of several in the area which were built by them. The Herseys were carpenters and bought sections 815 and 1116 prior to the 1860s, building a row of two-roomed cottages which were let for 3 shillings a week. Two larger, four-roomed cottages remain: this property and a house of the corner of Schulze and Gorge Road on section 1116.
In 1860 the cottage was the scene of a crime:
Adolph C. A. Herse was indicted for stealing 28 bunches of onions, value 2s., the property of his master, Henry Hersey, jun., at the Fifth Creek, on the 14th August last.
The prisoner had been in the employment of the prosecutor, who is a market gardener, at the Fifth Creek, and on the day named visited the sleeping apartment of the prisoner, a stable detached from the prosecutor's residence, and there, under the bed, discovered 28 bunches of onions. The prosecutor then, with a person named Sanders, put themselves in ambush to watch the proceedings of the prisoner, to see what he would do with the onions; but neither of them being able to detect the prisoner go into the stable again or leave it, both of them, after being on the look-out for several hours, returned to the prisoner's bed, but found the onions gone. On being spoken to the next day some words passed between prisoner and prosecutor, and those words the prosecutor construed into an admission of the prisoner that he took the onions.
The prosecutor, to-day, said that when he first saw the prisoner the next morning, he said to him, "How about the onions?" which at first he denied having taken, but afterwards admitted to have have taken them for the purpose of giving to a poor fellow out of work, lately in the employ of the Waterworks Commissioner, and which he had given him to sell for himself. When he first made the admission he said they were damaged, and that he had thrown them in the creek, and then went to the creek and brought some rotten ones which he (prosecutor) told him were not the same he had seen under the bed. In answer to His Honor, the prosecutor confessed he could not distinctly remember the exact replies the prisoner made to him when he questioned him about the onions.
John Sanders gave evidence of the interview between the prosecutor and prisoner. He confirmed the prosecutor's evidence that he only asked the prisoner "how about the onions?" He did not hear him charge the prisoner with stealing them.
The prisoner handed in a written defence, stating that he took the onions to give to a poor man, and that when his master found it out, he said he would forgive him if he would remain and work, which he did for several days after, and then wishing to get paid his wages, he asked for them, which the prosecutor refused to give. He then went to a lawyer to get his wages for him, who sent a letter to his master demanding them, and as soon as he received the letter, he went and laid the information against him. The statement added that the prosecution was only instituted to keep the prisoner out of his wages.
His Honor summed up, directing the Jury that the taking had been proved, and, therefore, the only question for their consideration was, whether the onions were taken with the intention to steal; and upon that question the must important part of the evidence was, that the next morning, when the prosecutor spoke to the prisoner, he did not tell him he had stolen the onions; but only asked "how about them?" shewing that - at that time, even the prosecutor did not think they were stolen. It would have been a very different matter altogether, said His Honor, if the prosecutor had said to the prisoner, "You have stolen my onions;" then any answers made by the prisoner to that charge, amounting to a confession, could be received as an admission of his guilt; but he thought both the conduct of the prisoner and the prosecutor did not amount to a supposition that the prisoner intended to steal. There was no doubt the prisoner took the onions, and it appeared he gave his master's property away to a man out of a work of charity, which he had no right to do, but that fact militated against the supposition that he intended to steal them from his master.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner.
De nuevo en mi tierra. De nuevo en Iquique. Mis últimos días en la ciudad que me vio nacer. Se siente raro armar las cajas con lo que me voy a llevar a Santiago. Recuerdos y cosas que pasan por la mente. Una sensación nueva de nostalgia, pero el optimismo y los sueños son mas grandes. La nueva vida se abre frente a mi. Nuevas experiencias, nuevas relaciones me esperan allá. Me esperas tu?

On Sunday I was racing in a rallycross in Santa Rosa (no images yet, but browse here for my past rallycrosses). Typical rallycrosses in California involve warm, dry, dusty days, but on this occasion nature turned the taps on wide open for us. It started pouring just as the race was getting started and didn't let up until we were at Chili's for the after-race get-together. If I wasn't in my car driving my runs I was out working the course and trying to get photos & video, so it didn't take long before I was thoroughly soaked. Thankfully I had brought a dry change of clothes.
On my way back from Santa Rosa I stopped at Battery Spencer for some photography. After the day out in the pouring rain I was pleased to see that the rain had let up a bit. After shooting the Bridge & around the battery I headed over to Sausalito. Then, after warming up with a latte and quiche at Taste of Rome (formerly Cafe Trieste) I headed down to the little beach. This was my first time locating the beach and I think I ended up walking down someone's private walk. Oops!
By the time I made it down to the beach it was raining again, so I ducked under the trees (where the real public entrance is) to wait it out. From the shelter of the trees I couldn't get the angle I wanted, so I took a few shots to the north. The rain wasn't letting up, so I gave in & headed home (almost).

Though it looks small, George Mason's home is quite spacious inside. One of my favourite features was the beautiful center passage or hallway; the front and back doors are, as was common in this style of home, directly across from each other. When both doors were opened, not only was the broad center hallway between the doors cooled, fresh, cool air circulated through the other rooms in the house as well. Functionality aside, though, it is a lovely thing, the main hall.
By the way, Mason, his architect, and his groundsmen did a divine job of designing the home in coordination with the grounds. For one thing, the house was meant to stand alone, with no mature trees growing near it; according to the website, "Mason meant it to be seen standing isolated in space". The black-heart cherry tree-lined drive lead your eyes to the home along a twelve-foot-wide carriage drive; the Palladian portico you see is also twelve feet wide, as is Gunston Hall's aforementioned center passage. The rear, riverfront portico is twelve feet wide, as is the gravel path through the center of the rear garden leading toward the south and the Potomac river. The effect is quite beautiful.
The small building you see on the left side of the frame is the kitchen. The location was interesting to me, because to get to the dining room, slaves would bring the food into the hallway from the kitchen yard (there is a door and hallway leading from the center passage to the kitchen yard), past the Mr. and Mrs. Mason's bedroom on one side and the informal family dining/sitting room on the other, across the great hall, and into the dining room. Weird.
The Fiat 8V (or "Otto Vu") is a sports car produced by the Italian automaker Fiat from 1952 to 1954. The car was introduced at the 1952 Geneva Motor Show. The name 8V was chosen because they thought that Ford had trademarked the name "V8". They weren't a commercial success, but did well in racing. Apart from the differential the car did not share any parts with the other Fiats (but many parts were made by Siata and they used them for their cars). The 8V was developed by Dante Giacosa and the stylist Fabio Lucio Rapi. The engine was a V8 originally designed for a luxury sedan, but that project was stopped. The Fiat V8 had a 70 degree V configuration of up to a 1996 cc of volume, at 5600 rpm the engine produced 105 hp (78 kW) in standard form giving a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph). The engine was connected to a four speed gearbox. The car had independent suspension all round and drum brakes on all four wheels.
Top management were preoccupied with more run of the mill projects, however, and only 114 of the high-performance coupés had been produced by the time the cars were withdrawn from production in 1954.[1] Nevertheless, they continued to win the Italian 2-litre GT championship every year until 1959.[1]
34 of the cars had a factory produced bodywork by Carozzeria Speciale FIAT. Some cars had the bodywork done by other Italian coachbuilders. Carozzeria Zagato made 32 that they labelled "Elaborata Zagato". Ghia and Vignale also made bodyworks. Most were coupés, but some spyders were made as well.
La Fiat 8 V - "Otto Vu" à l'italienne, est une voiture coupé deux places lancée par le constructeur italien Fiat au Salon International de Genève de mars 1952.
Cette voiture était entièrement nouvelle et n'utilisait aucun composant déjà connu sur un autre modèle de la marque.
La partie la plus remarquable fut le nouveau moteur, un V8 de 1996 cm3 de cylindrée avec une ouverture du V à 70°. Le prototype d'essais montait une version à 2 carburateurs qui développait 105 cv tandis que les versions commercialisées comportaient 3 carburateurs et donnaient 115 puis 127 cv.
Avec une ligne élégante et très filante, la vitesse atteingait les 190 km/h, ce qui était exceptionnel pour une voiture de série à l'époque. L'aérodynamique avait été soignée grâce à la mise au point dans le tunnel soufflerie Fiat d'Orbassano.
Disposant d'un chassis tubulaire, plus rigide et plus léger qu'une coque intégrale, la carrosserie en acier était le fruit de l'étude de Rapi.
En 1954, peu de temps avant l'arrêt de sa fabrication, une version prototype avec une carrosserie en fibres de verre a été présentée, mais elle ne connaîtra pas de développement industriel.
114 exemplaires de ce modèle ont été fabriqués, y compris les versions carrossées par Ghia et Siata. D'autres ateliers de carrosserie comme Vignale, Pinin Farina et Zagato réaliseront aussi d'intéressants exemplaires.

The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent. The peacock is the national bird of India.
The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground but roosts on top of trees. It eats mainly seeds, but also some insects, fruits and reptiles.
Peafowl are most notable for the male's extravagant display feathers which, despite actually growing from their back, are known as a 'tail' or a train. This train is in reality not the tail but the enormously elongated upper tail coverts. The tail itself is brown and short as in the peahen. They are a result of sexual selection and are displayed as part of courtship.

CASTELLANO
Pavo cristatus (Pavo real, Pavo real de la India, o Pavo real de pecho azul) es una de las dos especies de aves pertenecientes al género Pavo, que desde tiempos antiguos destacó entre los animales admirados por el hombre a causa del extraordinario abanico policromado que constituye la cola de los machos.
El pavo cristatus es una especie sexualmente dimórfica. Su longevidad es de aproximadamente 15 años, aunque se conocen casos de especímenes que vivieron en cautiverio más de 20 años.
Provisto de un pico fuerte, su cabeza esta cubierta de un plumaje azul brillante y coronada por un copete de plumas. El macho de la especie alcanza una longitud de 2,20 m y un peso de hasta 5 Kg: Su plumaje de color azul iridiscente con reflejos verdosos es característica, pero sin duda el principal atractivo lo constituyen sus más de cien plumas coberteras de hasta 2 m de longitud, que -al desplegarse - forman un majestuoso abanico tachonado por ocelos en tonos dorado, azul y verde.
Estrictamente el abanico no es la "cola" ni las alas del animal-de color pardo- se presenta por atrás y abajo de las coberteras, aunque pasa desapercibida ante la magnificencia del penacho desplegado. El macho puede abrirlo a partir de los tres años de edad, y las coberteras se renuevan anualmente. Por esta causa durante el otoño los machos quedan privados de su fastuoso adorno.

FGR : fruit destruction.
and GWTL : diptychs (wk. 46 revisited....happy anniversary!)
i had a lovely nectarine...i sat and i looked at it....trying to figure out what to do to destroy it. and then i got hungry...and i ate it.
so i opted for grape jelly instead.
i never realized how sticky that stuff is. i kept adding more and more until it was all over my face, neck, and chest. it actually just looked worse the more i added, so i ended up going with two of the more minimal shots. the end ones were just gnarly looking. i tried to lick it off and got some really goofy looking shots. and then i tried to take some off and shoot some more, but it wouldn't come off so easily so then i had jelly and bits of toilet paper stuck to my face as well haha. maybe i'll post a reject later :)
so it got EVERYWHERE...i was sticky sticky sticky after this. it wouldn't come off! it was pretty bad. i was hoping that maybe i'd discovered a great new skin treatment haha. i'm just glad it didnt stain my face.
i did feel a new kinship with jelly donuts.
so in other news. i got new light bulbs on saturday and was probably way too excited about it. but they really make a huge difference...especially since i'm just using my normal house lights.
oh and my work sent me to shoot a kids' fashion show on sunday. it was pretty much an explosion of cuteness. a ton of fun.
i'll probably post a link, if not the actual shots once it's up and running.
happy tuesday everyone!!!!!

Today is the first day of the story, so here goes.

By Garrison Smith
Day One [September 25, 2009]
"Today, I will be starting a story--a thriller. Perhaps you will start reading it and perhaps you'll like it. Perhaps I might continue the story. Perhaps not. Perhaps I should start typing the short story that I just finished telling you I was going to write. Perhaps not. Perhaps I like to use the word perhaps. And perhaps I'm only using the word to annoy you, and perhaps it is."
He tapped at the keyboard with surprising speed. click click click. He had taken a course in typing two years before and it was proving beneficial now. He had no idea what he was typing, but only that he was. He glanced to his left, eying the bright red numbers that stared him in the face. 1:10 pm. It was Wednesday afternoon and a slight breeze whisked through the red and orange leaves on the trees just outside his bedroom window. A typical autumn day, to be sure.
But he would soon discover that all was not typical, and all was not as it seemed.
He leaned back in his chair, and, closing his eyes, searched for words. Finding them, he leaned forward and began punching at the keyboard. "Perhaps I should get up and get a drink, but my thirst is not one to be quenched by water, not satisfied by a cola." He pushed his chair out from underneath him as he stood. He looked around. His room was a mess to end all messes, literally. No one could mess a room like he did, yet he cleaned it regularly. He ran his fingers through his short-cropped brown hair. Perhaps he would continue his typing later--perhaps not.
A knock on the door sent him down the hall and into the dimly-lit living room. He wasn't expecting anybody. For being recently graduated from college, he had a decent place. Landing himself a job at a local newspaper as a journalist helped with the income, and when he was short, his parents provided. His life was going smoothly, as far as he knew.
He swung open the large mock-cherrywood door and with a skeptical look on his face, greeted the delivery man. The package was addressed to Michael Hall. Not the photographer or painter, but himself. He wished he was widely known, but his talent left him writing for a local newspaper. He closed the door as the UPS man left. He grabbed a knife and opened the package cautiously. It was ironic; he'd be using a knife more in the next few days than he had ever done in his lifetime.
He pulled at the packaging peanuts and retrieved a cell phone. 'How cliche', he thought. The second the thought left his mind, the phone chirped to life. Michael jerked, startled by the volume level.
He put the receiver to his ear, "Hello?"
A Manila tambol aparador / armoire
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,300,000
2nd Quarter, 19th century
Manila
Narra and kamagong wood, bone, kamagong and lanite inlays, silver mounts
196 x 125 x 51.5 cm (77 x 49 x 20 in)
Kamagong wood was very scarce and expensive even over 170 years ago. Artisans would combine it with narra wood not only for those restrictive reasons but also to create an attractive and contrasting color effect. Originally made in Manila, this style subsequently spawned several variations – from Bulacan and Ilocos in the north to Laguna in the south – each with vernacular modifications. However, only the wealthiest who could afford such luxury furniture had them in their homes.
Classical Greek, Roman and Egyptian motifs are clearly evident, aside from the contrasting wood color of the dark kamagong frame and honey-brown narra centers that became de rigueur again in the early 19th century. The top frieze is inlaid on three sides, with scrolling leaves and flowers centering a large honeysuckle flower. The effect of using big-sized and light brown-colored lanite inlays against dark kamagong background is reminiscent of the oyster veneer, a decorative technique popular in England in the 17th century. The half-round pilaster columns, inlaid border inlays on the doors, the large foliated flower on the beaded apron, and the lotiform feet have been masterly executed. Opening the doors with turned kamagong pulls with silver centers and a spade-shaped silver escutcheon reveals four shelves and four drawers with knob pulls. This type of aparador remains scarce and highly desirable.

I've giving in and posting this for 2 reasons;
[one] There's quite a few hours of homework ahead of me
[two] A story to go along with this
Went snowboarding today. As most ski hills are (midwest or otherwise) they are always tucked back in the middle of nowhere with windy dirt roads leading to a "mountainous" area. Here in Northern Illinois, that's exactly how it is. There is this little road I always take as a short cut and as I was driving down it, the clouds quite literally parted over this field. It's been flurrying with sun for the past couple of days so, yes, those little white dots are snowflakes. I immediately backed up the car and started *snaps snaps*. I figured I actually get out of my car to get a better angle but as I was walking up to the fence as seen above, I tried to hit the shutter and it did nothing. My little info screen read 'f EE'. So I stood in the middle of the road for a minute, somewhat paniced as my shiny new camera appeared to have pulled a Windows Vista (LOL). So I hop back in the car, grab my BlackBerry and get to Googling.
After I had driven off, I found somewhere on a forum that my camera was "frozen" and I needed to take the battery and the SD card out and let it sit for a couple days. HAHA YEAH RIGHT. So I scrolled down some more and came across another post that simply said, "check the aperture ring, sometimes it can get twisted or knocked out of the lock." And tada, that would be the cure :D So all ended well... except for my crappy snowboarding shots. They...well, they just didn't work out so well, so I leave you with this to ponder.

I nuovi splendori e la strepitosa qualità delle architetture della Reggia restaurata, l'immensità e la bellezza dei Giardini e degli spazi naturali del Parco, consentono di trascorrere amabilmente il proprio tempo immergendosi in sensazioni nuove e cogliendo esperienze diverse, secondo una concezione moderna ed alla portata di tutti del "gusto", del "loisir" e dell'"arte di vivere".
La Reggia di Venaria Reale e la residenza de La Mandria sono stati dichiarati dall'Unesco Patrimonio dell'Umanità."
"The Venaria Reale site is a unique environmental and architectural experience of extraordinary interest. It is an immense, varied and imposing space where the visitor cannot help feeling drawn into the magic atmosphere of cultural attractions and amusements that were the pastimes of nobility.
Venaria Reale and the old market town represent a treasure trove of historic events and trials and tribulations. We sense this in the imposing baroque palace, with its vast gardens, one of the most significant examples of the magnificence of architecture and art in the 17th and 18th centuries. We sense it, too, in the La Mandria Park, one of the finest examples of European environmental havens where numerous species of both domestic and wild animals live in complete freedom, and where a significant legacy of historic and architectural wealth is preserved.
The new splendours and exceptional quality of the architecture of the restored ‘Reggia’ palace, the immensity and beauty of the gardens and natural spaces in the park allow visitors the opportunity to spend their time immersed in new sensations, savouring new experiences and enjoying the modern concept - accessible to all - of “taste”, “leisure time” and the “art of living”.
The ‘Reggia di Venaria Reale’ royal palace and the residence of La Mandria have been declared “World Heritage” sites by UNESCO."

Pancho y Tommy. Más que nada una petición de Pancho para tener una toma para recordar con su perro. Esperaba hacer algo distinto, pero esto fue lo que obtuvimos.
Pancho y Tommy. Mostly a Pancho’s request to have a photo to remember with his dog. I hoped to get something different, but this is what we got.

Se me acaban las ideas y no hay mucho tiempo para tomar fotos. Mis preocupaciones están en otra parte. De hecho, creo que esta es la última foto que subiré en un tiempo. Voy a estar ocupado los próximos dos meses, pero me daré tiempo de entrar a flickr y comentar algunas fotos. Tal vez aparezca alguna publicación. Take care, friends.
I’m running out of ideas and there’s not much time for shooting. My preoccupations are on another place. In fact, I think this is the last photo that I will upload in a while. I’m gonna be busy the next two months, but I’ll take some time to get into Flickr and comment some photos. Maybe, some upload will appear. Take care, friends.
UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

The Colon Cemetery or more fully in the Spanish language Cementerio de Cristóbal Colón was founded in 1876 in the Vedado neighbourhood of Havana, Cuba on top of Espada Cemetery. Named for Christopher Columbus, the 140 acre (57 ha) cemetery is noted for its many elaborately sculpted memorials. It is estimated that today the cemetery has more than 500 major mausoleums, chapels, and family vaults

Wednesday, 09 August 2017: Hakone - Odawara - Kyoto
Left Hakone and the cool mountain climate on the local bus to Odawara (小田原市) (10m above sea level) where we had time for a quick nip to look at the castle before getting the Shinkansen (新幹線) to Kyoto (京都市), arriving just after midday.
[I did lose Rosa just before we were due to get on the bullet train to Kyoto - which almost gave me heart failure!]
HOT but clear skies so not so humid.
Left overnight bags at the Hotel Ibis just across the road from the station and headed out on the local train network to Gion district - for onomoyaki (? It's a savoury pancake filled with tasty things) at a bar/restaurant that was popular with American troops in World War II (with saucy souvenir drawings on the walls to prove it!) and then the shrines / temples and our walking tour of Gion (but no Geiko or Maiko). We did see lots of Japanese tourists dressed up in traditional dress at Yasaka Shrine (八坂神社) though, and tried our hands at ringing the 'love' bells... and chilled out with the dragons in the Kennin-ji Temple (建仁寺).
We got back to the hotel around 7.15pm and after a speedy shower each, nipped out for take out from one of the station kiosks. All a bit Russian Roulette on the veggie front. Indeed, the only real area where things have been tricky so far has been meals out. It's fine when Charlea is around but when we are completely DIY there have been a more misses than hits.
My feet are v tired, and we've another long (hot) day out and about tomorrow!

We had M 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 (Japan time) on March 11th, 2011. The earthquake created huge tsunami waves of up to 20 meters (66 ft), 5 stories building was covered by the water, that struck Japan coast minutes after the earthquake.
We are still having aftershocks. www.jma.go.jp/en/quake/quake_singen_index.html
The death toll will be expected to be 15,000 or more. About 523,288 people become refegees.
Radiation leaks led to a 30 km-radius evacuation around Fukushima I and II nuclear plants. Almost 20,000 people needs to evacuate from the area.
Fukushima I and II Nuclear Power Plants got damaged and four reactors exploaded. The reactor 1 had helium explosion and the outer building got damaged , has possible meltdown and part of the rod is exposed. The reactor 2 had has possible meltdown and all the rod is exposed. The radiation level is so high. (They do not show the number) The reactor 3 had helium explosion and the outer building got damaged, apart of the rod is exposed. The reactor 4 had unknown caused explosion and got two 8 feet diameter holes in the building. The water level of the reactor 5 is significantly decrease. 5 out of 6 reactors of Fukushima I are in great danger. We might get radiation poisoning even we are in Tokyo (About 120 miles from the plants). The level of radiation was 0.809 microsievert per one hour which means 9.1416 microsievert per a day in Tokyo yesterday. They said that it is safe but I beleive that if this situation lasts longer time, it will be very harmful for our health.
The Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the radiation level reached 400 millisievert per hour next to Unit-3 of Fukushima-I nuclear plant on March 15 and the radiation level reached over 1,000 millisievert per hour near the front gate of Fukushima nuclear plant at around 10:00 am on March 16.
It says that if a person exposed 1,000 millisievert to 2,000 millisievert, 10% risk of death after 30 days.
Two other nuclear plants in Ibaraki and Onagawa are in danger too.
Six nuclear plants got damage and stopped working. So, we have huge power shortage and we will have scheduled black out since March 14th. It depens on the area but usually 2 to 4 hours, we have blackout. Many railways running trains maybe 30 to 70% of normal schedules and also only limited area. Everybody is trying to buy bottled water, rice, bread, noodles, rice cake, milk, batteries, flashlight, and Portable Butane Gas Camp Stove. Some local cities adivice their residents not to go outside, if needs to go outside, needs to wear masks and wear long sleeves cloth to cover the skin, change the clothes when get home and put the clothes in a plastic bag, wash your hands and hair throughly. The city we live do not take any precausious measure, public schools are open and kids are running around in the school ground. I am glad that my daughter does not need to go to the school due to the bullying and school violence.
We had M6 class earthquake again twice last night.
My mother, my daughter and I are safe from the eathquakes at this moment. We shut all the windows tight, close the vent and try to stay home for the safety.
Devastated northeast, already short of water, food, medicine, blanket, diapers, electricity and heat. The evacuees are trying to keep warm in near-freezing temperatures. I saw on TV that it is difficult to get hot water there, so mothers cannot make formula milk for babies. So they give the babies some juice and other soft food instead. I hope there will no futher damages in the devasted areas and could get help from unaffected areas. It's heartbreaking to see the hardership on evacuees.
Thank you for your support, prayers and friendship.
