Thousands of brightly-colored post-it notes were posted on the doors of Wisconsin's State Capitol Building as the building remains closed to the public. Each note has a message written on it protesting the lock out and Governor Scott Walker's Budget Repair Bill. The lockout is yet another twist in the ongoing battle between union workers and Wisconsin Republican leadership.

Les armoiries de Genève apparaissent dès le XVe siècle. Leur représentation actuelle a été fixée par le Conseil d'Etat en 1918. Elles représentent la réunion des symboles de l'Empire (l'aigle à tête couronnée), auquel Genève a été rattachée au XIe siècle, et de l'évêque (la clef d'or) dont les citoyens tiennent leurs libertés et franchises depuis 1387.
Le cimier est un soleil apparaissant à demi sur le bord supérieur et portant le trigramme IHS en lettres grecques, reproduction du nom de Jésus sous une forme contractée (IHESUS).
Les anciennes couleurs de Genève étaient le gris et le noir. Au XVIIe siècle, le noir et le violet. Le jaune et le rouge prévalurent au XVIIIe siècle ; le noir fut ajouté durant la période révolutionnaire. Les armoiries de la Ville de Genève sont les mêmes que celles du canton.
La devise de Genève, "Post tenebras lux" (Après les ténèbres la lumière), date du milieu du XVIe siècle. Elle fait référence à la Réforme.
This finger post in Kirby Stephen is unusual as it shows furlongs, as well as the usual miles.
In all my years on this planet, I've only ever known furlongs used on race courses, although I read they are used on canals. In addition, I don't recall seeing any other direction sign on a road showing furlongs, which equate to a distance of 200 metres or 220 yards.
This sign is by the junction it purports to serve, but has been moved slightly following the modification of the junction some years back.

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...
- Opeth (Black Rose Immortal)

Post-Apocalyptic Survival Outpost
Located off the Texas Coast
I have always wanted to build a post-apocalyptic diorama but I didn't want to recreate the usual dio of dilapidated structures and cities in ruins.
In almost every apocalyptic scenario, the cities usually are the first place survivors head due to large amounts of supplies, weapons, non-perishable food, and the possibility of finding other survivors. However, urban areas are usually hit the hardest in any apocalypse. Large amounts of destruction, lack of electricity, presence of outlaw gangs, and other dangers await survivors that hope to find shelter in the metropolis.
With this in mind, where would you turn to find sustainable safety and security for a group of survivors? The county side? Rural towns? The coast?
A while back, I was out fishing near some gas and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought to myself, "why not build a survival outpost on rig a mile off the coast?"

Offshore structures can provide all of the 5 resources required to survive.
Water - A basic desalinization devise along with large amounts of coastal rainfall would provide all the fresh water required
Food - Sea life of all kinds can be acquired near offshore rigs. The structure creates cooler water with shade from the sun and the underwater structure acts as a natural reef which attracts bait and then predators. Crustaceans and shellfish can be collected from the surrounding waters. The tropical climate makes for great greenhouse conditions.
Shelter - A roof and walls offer a place to keep supplies dry and a refuge from the elements.
Protection - Being offshore, the risk of attack is reduced. Survivors are better able to detect possible threats and react accordingly. The near proximity to the shore also makes trips to the mainland feasible. And of course, lots of guns.
Energy - With an almost infinite supply of natural gas and wind, you could power almost anything using natural gas engine conversions and wind generators.
