I put a line of water-based marker on the bottom of the paper, put the bottom edge of paper in water, and let the water soak up into the paper overnight. Worked pretty well, even though I was using cheap bond paper.

If the FT are reporting* ’Brakes put on UK shale gas revolution’, how are investors going to feel? This admission is a big win. It never was viable. It always was a desperate scrabble to maintain governmental private profiteering. Old school fossil fuel habits, strongly influenced by the fossil fuel lobbyists which hold court and ear within our governance. An institutionalised belief that renewables could never meet our needs... or simply not profit them, as they hold all the wrong investment portfolios. Old fashioned governance from a bygone era of fossil fuel energy independence and pollution: where did the North Sea energy independence and profits go?
After witnessing, listening to, and being part of the anti-shale gas voice; as an investor would you now back shale gas UK? Projecting forward our voice's were only ever going to get stronger, larger in numbers. As it would have been on everyone’s back door. The post environmental, health damage, science and reports coming out of America are unequivocal.
We only have two radioactive waste water treatment plants in the UK- the cost of scale up? The cost of strict regulation? The industrialisation of the 'remaining' rural Britain? The cost of pollution, and sub-sequential litigation?
The only way shale gas exploitation was ever going to be viable was at scale, Britain is not America; it all goes to show how naively business minded our governance is. Let’s hope they cut their loses, see sense and go all out for renewables. Combined renewables where community profit first, on an assisted national scale. As when you and yours benefit, the resistance to renewables will drop away. No longer seen as unsightly, or disproportionally sited on your doorstep.
A new political era of climate change governance and private investment needs to sweep in, pulling out of fossil fuel investments and at last backing the real deal, mixed combined community benefiting renewables.
In the very real new era of political governance of global warming, with its potentially devastating consequences, it can't come to soon.

EXTRAÑO A MI POLOL :( TE AMO MI VIDA ♥
Poor baby... (and poor me! I have to watch her all the time, and be very stressed about it, and see how sad Chmurka is...)
Put a polarizing filter on your camera, and then hold up a transparent piece of plastic in front of an LCD monitor. Trippy.
I think we'll end up with raising the counter and putting a new counter and sink in it.
We'll frame the mirror and get new, longer lights.
We think we'll widen the door there that goes into our bedroom. It's only 2 feet wide, and standard is 2 1/2. The other doors are already 3 feet wide.
The corner will have a tall cupboard for our towels and toilletry/medicine stuff.
Put the three spare bullnose tiles to work for the skeletons. Once that countertop is made and the stupid sink arrives this bathroom is a wrap.
Then I'll probably just keep using that shower stall kit I had to put together in basement by sump pump in utility room in order to begin this mess. :)
This try put Woking in front after spending much of the match behind. Unfortunately they couldn't hang on to the lead.

HILL OF CROSSES
Religious meaning
The Hill of Crosses, where people not only from Lithuania have put crosses for couple centuries, witnesses faithfulness and trust of a Christian community to Christ and his Cross. This is an expression of a spontaneous religiousness of the people, and is a symbol not of grief and death but of Faith, Love and Sacrifice. From here the Pope blessed all people of Lithuania and all of Christian Europe.
Place
The Hill of Crosses is situated in the middle of an arable land, sixteen kilometers from Šiauliai. It is seen from Šiauliai – Ryga highway. The hill is 60 meters long and 40-50 meters wide.
Number of crosses
It is hard to imagine so many crosses in one place. But all these crosses tell us about personal and public misfortunes and catastrophes. For example one cross was put after the wreck of the ferry “Estonia”.
The crosses were first counted by Ksywicki in 1900. In historical chronicles he wrote that there were 130 crosses on the hill. Two years later there were already 155 crosses. After the Word War I, in 1922 there were 50 crosses but in 1938 – already over 400. In 1961 the Soviet government demolished over 5000 crosses, by 1975 – 1200 crosses more.
After the political change the crosses were counted by enthusiasts from Šiauliai. They found 14 387 big crosses (1 112 from them were 3-4 meters high, 130 even higher) and about 41 000 small crosses (smaller than 0.5 meters).
Each visitor tries to leave a cross or a rosary. If he has not brought any, he makes one right on the hill, from pebbles, little branches or grass.
The monastery of the Hill of Crosses
In 1994 during his visit to a Franciscan monastery of the mount of Verna (Italy), the Pope John Paul II encouraged the brothers to build a monastery by the Hill of Crosses. A hermit of the Franciscan Brothers was consecrated on July 7, 2000. It is built 300 meters away from the Hill and has sixteen cells. It serves as a novitiate of the Lithuanian Franciscan province of St. Casimir, but the monastery is also open to the pilgrims who look for silence and peace.
History
The crosses on the Hill were first mentioned in written chronicles in 1850, but it is believed that the first crosses were put by the relatives of the victims of the rebellion in 1831 as the tsarist government did not allow the families to honor their deads properly. Crosses of the kind became more numerous after the other rebellion in 1863.
In the beginning of the 20th century the Hill of Crosses was already widely known as a sacral place. In addition to many pilgrims visiting, it was also a place for Masses and devotions. The Hill of Crosses became of special importance during Soviet times – this was the place of anonymous but surprising persistence to the regime. The Soviet government considered the crosses and the hill a hostile and harmful symbol. In 1961 wooden crosses were broken and burnt, metal ones used as scrap metal and stone and concrete crosses were broken and buried. The hill itself was many times destroyed with bulldozers. During the 1973–1975 period about half a thousand crosses used to be demolished each year without even trying to do this secretly. Later the tactics became more subtle: crosses were demolished as having no artistic value, different “epidemics” were announced forbidding people to come into the region or the roads were blocked by police. The Hill was guarded by both the Soviet army and KGB. In 1978 and 1979 there were some attempts to flood the territory. Despite all these endeavors to stop people from visiting the Hill, crosses would reappear after each night.
After the political change in 1988 the status of the Hill of Crosses changed completely – it became both a Lithuanian and a world phenomenon. It gained a world wide fame after the visit of the Pope John Paul II on September 7, 1993. The Pope was extremely touched by the cross with the prayer for his health after the attempt upon his life in 1981. In his sermon during the Holy Mass his Eminence said: “Sons and daughters of your country have been carrying to this Hill crosses, akin to that of Golgotha, which saw our Saviour,s death. Thus people have declared their sincere belief that their deceased brothers and sisters “have found Eternity” (…). Cross is a symbol of eternal life in God”.
In 1997 the Church revived devotions on the Hill. They take place every year on the last but one Sunday of July. Nowadays the Hill of Crosses is under the patronage of Šiauliai diocese, established on the 28 th oh May, 1997, and its first bishop Eugenijus Bartulis.
Cross is a symbol of love
The Hill of Crosses is a sacred place in the Šiauliai region with especially vast spaces for meditations of faith and manifestations of one,s love to God. It is here that Lithuania has passed through Golgotha, its people have experienced so much pain and misfortunes. Namely here revives the sincerest belief in our Saviours sacrifice, love finds response in one,s heart, hopes become stronger. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (Jn 3, 16). Cross is a symbol of such Love.

Bangor bounce back against Portadown
by Roger Corbett
Determined to put their disappointing performance against Dundalk behind them, Bangor produced a patient display against Portadown to win by 17-10.
Last weekend had been a difficult one for both sides. Bangor were well and truly humbled by an exemplary performance by Dundalk, losing by the largest margin in recent years. For Portadown’s part, they travelled to Donaghadee only to be put to the sword by a merciless 46-0. Bangor needed the win today to show that still had what it takes to remain a powerful force in the league. Likewise, Portadown were hoping to stop the rot of several poor results and remain in contention for an all-important top four place, keeping alive their hopes to contest the All Ireland Junior Cup next season. With both sides fielding teams that reflected their growing injury lists, this had all the ingredients for an interesting and competitive encounter. Bangor had 6 changes from last weekend, the most notable being a 1st XV debut for David Caughey coming in for Freddie Black at second row.
Portadown kicked off with the wind at their backs, and for the first half hour of the game play was almost entirely held within the centre of the pitch, between the two twenty twos. Although Bangor were producing the more meaningful attacks, they suffered from knock-ons when tackled, and some miss-timed passes that went astray. On a positive note, the scrums looked solid and the line-outs showed signs of improvement. However, after 35 minutes a good Portadown break saw Bangor desperately defending their line. In the resulting series of defensive rucks, Bangor were eventually penalised and a yellow card was shown to Curtis Stewart. The stalemate was then broken on the stroke of half time when Bangor conceded another penalty, this time in front of their own posts. The straightforward kick was successful giving Portadown the narrowest of leads as the sides turned around at 0-3.
Now playing with the wind advantage, Bangor got the second half underway. However, it was Portadown who showed the early initiative, winning another penalty after 12 minutes of play. With the wind in their faces, the kick was pushed wide and Bangor were let of the hook. Bangor now started to lift their game and were showing signs of promise with characteristically good runs from Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. The sustained pressure eventually paid off when Portadown conceded a penalty which Neil Cuthbertson successfully converted, levelling the scores at 3-3.
As the game entered the final quarter, Bangor were making better use of the wind than their opponents had in the first half. Although some kicks went too long, others provided just enough pressure on the Portadown defence to cause them problems. This is exactly what happened when a kick deep into Portadown’s twenty two looked like it might have been going long, but the Portadown full back decided to play it. However, he underestimated the flight of the ball and only managed to get his hands to it, slowing its progress to the goal area. Realising the danger of his actions, he tried to keep the ball in play and then clear up-field, but it overran and Bangor were awarded the 5 metre scrum. Finding themselves in one of their best attacking positions for some time, Bangor’s scrum proved too much for Portadown who were duly penalised. This hadn’t been the first offence of this nature, so the yellow card was shown to the offending Portadown player. Now with the extra man advantage in the scrum, Bangor set about the weakened Portadown pack, resulting in another collapsed scum. The referee, having just warned the Portadown players about the implications of such repeated offences, had no hesitation in awarding Bangor a penalty try under the posts. With the added conversion from Cuthbertson, Bangor were now ahead for the first time, by 10-3.
Bangor now started to look more relaxed, and were keeping play in Portadown’s half. After another 10 minutes, a Bangor scrum on the right hand wing resulted in quick ball to the back line. A long pass by Mark Thompson at out half missed the centres and went straight to Davy Charles, coming into the line from full back. With the Portadown defence trying to cover across, Charles had the pace to get through and dive over in the left hand corner for a try. The touchline kick by Cuthbertson was superbly judged, added the extras and extending Bangor’s lead to 17-3.
Although Bangor enjoyed further scoring opportunities, these came to nothing as poor passing saw the ball go to ground and the attack falter. Portadown, on the other hand, were anxious to come away with something to show for their efforts and mounted a late surge towards Bangor’s line. In the ensuing waves of attack, a series of penalties conceded by Bangor resulted in a yellow card for Charles. The combination of a quickly taken tap penalty and an out of shape Bangor defence, provided Portadown with enough space to dart through for a converted try, and earn a losing bonus point in the process, as the final score came to 17-10.
While this performance could hardly be described as champagne rugby, it still tasted good for Bangor to return to winning ways, and go some way to putting last week’s loss behind them. The mixture of old and new players worked well together, and demonstrates the depth in strength Bangor enjoy within their senior squad. With no match next week, the players and coaching staff have time to regroup and prepare for another ‘cup final’ game – this time against our closest neighbours and rivals, Donaghadee. With the Dee currently enjoying a purple patch and fighting for their survival in this league, and Bangor looking to maintain their hold at the top end of the table, this fixture promises to be an intriguing encounter.

This woman was awesome.... She came along on our tour with other older women and while I was taking pictures in the gas chamber, she started to make gas jokes then asked me to take a picture of her in the chair........
Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.
