Same mall we took a look at recently, this time during the day in March so you can see the differences with Stratford Square Mall from night to day.
Yes, this is the same mead on the right in the Feb 15 photo. In a little over a month, it dropped very clear and has the exact color of mead. Apparently "caramel coloring" isn't stable enough to survive a flocculating yeast environment.
Yes, it tastes just like Dr. Pepper!

Monday 2nd Jan 2009 will be remembered for the amount of snow that fell, most of us thought that snow would never fall like this again in Great Britain, but it did!

This is not my picture. I forgot to bid at the last minute on Ebay. I have a very similar picture of a child on a bed with the coffin nearby. I thought they looked very similar (different siblings?) but the wallpaper is not the same.

n ancient Greek cult-practice and literature, a nekyia or nekya (Ancient Greek: νέκυια, νεκυία; νεκύα) is a "rite by which ghosts were called up and questioned about the future," i.e., necromancy. A nekyia is not necessarily the same thing as a katabasis. While they both afford the opportunity to converse with the dead, only a katabasis is the actual, physical journey to the underworld undertaken by several heroes in Greek and Roman myth.Main article: Nekyia For broader coverage of this topic, see Active imagination and Amplification (psychology). See also: Dialectic, Dialogic, Hero's journey, and Katabasis As the shadow is a part of the unconscious, a method called Shadow work is practiced through active imagination with daydreaming and meditation – the experience is then mediated by dialectical interpretation through narrative and art (pottery, poetry, drawing, dancing, singing, etc.); analysts perform dreamwork on analysands, using amplification to raise the unconscious to conscious awareness.[33][34][35] Jung uses the term Nekyia to describe the descent into darkness, where the ego fades.[36] The eventual encounter with the shadow plays a central part in the process of individuation. Jung considered that "the course of individuation [...] exhibits a certain formal regularity. Its signposts and milestones are various archetypal symbols" marking its stages; and of these "the first stage leads to the experience of the shadow."[37] If "the breakdown of the persona constitutes the typical Jungian moment both in therapy and in development,"[38] it is this that opens the road to the shadow within, coming about when "beneath the surface a person is suffering from a deadly boredom that makes everything seem meaningless and empty...as if the initial encounter with the Self casts a dark shadow ahead of time."[30]: 170 Jung considered as a perennial danger in life that "the more consciousness gains in clarity, the more monarchic becomes its content...the king constantly needs the renewal that begins with a descent into his own darkness"[39]: 334 – his shadow – which the "dissolution of the persona" sets in motion.[40] "The shadow personifies everything that the subject refuses to acknowledge about himself",[41]: 284 whether consciously or unconsciously, and represents "a tight passage, a narrow door, whose painful constriction no one is spared who goes down to the deep well."[41]: 21 [If and when] an individual makes an attempt to see his shadow, he becomes aware of (and often ashamed of) those qualities and impulses he denies in himself but can plainly see in others – such things as egotism, mental laziness, and sloppiness; unreal fantasies, schemes, and plots; carelessness and cowardice; inordinate love of money and possessions...[30]: 174 The dissolution of the persona and the launch of the individuation process also brings with it "the danger of falling victim to the shadow ... the black shadow which everybody carries with him, the inferior and therefore hidden aspect of the personality" – resulting in a merger with the shadow.

In common parlance, however, the term "nekyia" is often used to subsume both types of event, so that by Late Antiquity for example "Olympiodorus ... claimed that three [Platonic] myths were classified as nekyia (an underworld story, as in Homer's Odyssey book 11)".[1]
Questioning ghosts
A number of sites in Greece and Italy were dedicated wholly or in part to this practice. "The Underworld communicated with the earth by direct channels. These were caverns whose depths were unplumbed, like that of Heraclea Pontica."[2] The most notable was the Necromanteion in the northwestern Greek town of Ephyra. Other oracles of the dead could be found at Taenaron and Avernus. Such specialized locations, however, were not the only places where necromancy was performed. One could also perform the rite at a tomb, for example. Among the gods associated with the nekyia rite are Hades, his wife Persephone, Hecate, and Hermes (in his capacity as psychopompus – one who escorted souls to Hades).
The Odyssey
The earliest reference to this cult practice comes from Book 11 of the Odyssey, which was called the Nekyia in Classical antiquity. Odysseus was instructed to "make a journey of a very different kind, and find your way to the Halls of Hades ... across the River of Ocean".[3] There he consults the soul of the priest and prophet Tiresias about the means to return home to Ithaca, in a setting of "ghosts and dark blood and eerie noises, like a canvas of Hieronymous Bosch".[4] He sacrifices a ram and an ewe so that "the countless shades of the dead and gone" would "surge around" him[5] and then he meets and talks to the souls of the dead.
"The story of Odysseus's journey to Hades ... was followed ... by further accounts of such journeys undertaken by other heroes", although it is clear that, for example, "the κατάβασις [katabasis, "descent"] of Herakles in its traditional form must have differed noticeably from the Nekyia".[6]
The Athenian playwright Aeschylus features the use of tombside nekyiai in his Persians and Libation Bearers.
The Aeneid
In the Aeneid, Aeneas descends into the House of Hades and travels through the world of the dead.[7] In this, his journey differs from that of Odysseus, who merely journeys to the entrance of the Underworld to perform the ritual sacrifice needed to summon the spirits of the dead, the ghosts whose knowledge he seeks.
Menippus and Lucian of Samosata
Lucian of Samosata is the author of a satirical dialogue titled Μένιππος ἢ Νεκυομαντεία, dating from 161–162 CE, which, as German classical philologist Rudolf Helm (1872–1966) argues,[8] may be an epitome of the lost Nekyia of cynic philosopher Menippus. In The Lives of the Philosophers, Diogenes Laërtius lists the Nekyia among the thirteen works composed by Menippus (Vitae philosophorum, VI, 101). In Lucian's dialogue, Menippus, perplexed by the conflicting accounts of the afterlife put forward by Homer, Hesiod, the philosophers, and the tragic poets, decides to discover the truth for himself. He therefore enlists the help of a Babylonian Magus, named Mithrobarzanes, in order to visit the underworld. Mithrobarzanes performs a necromantic ritual, and the two descend to Hades, where they see Pyriphlegethon, Cerberus, the palace of Pluto, Charon, and the rest of the mythological machinery of the Greek underworld. Ultimately, the underworld setting serves Lucian as a vehicle for satire on not only the rich and powerful, but also the philosophers.
Jung
C. G. Jung used the concept of Nekyia as an integral part of his analytical psychology: "Nekyia ... introversion of the conscious mind into the deeper layers of the unconscious psyche".[9] For Jung, "the Nekyia is no aimless or destructive fall into the abyss, but a meaningful katabasis ... its object the restoration of the whole man".[10]
Jolande Jacobi added that "this 'great Nekyia' ... is interwoven with innumerable lesser Nekyia experiences".[11]
Night sea-journey
Jung used the images of the Nekyia, of "the night journey on the sea ... descend[ing] into the belly of the monster (journey to hell)", and of "'Katabasis' (descent into the lower world)"[12] almost interchangeably. His closest followers also saw them as indistinguishable metaphors for "a descent into the dark, hot depths of the unconscious ... a journey to hell and 'death'" – emphasising for example that "the great arc of the night sea journey comprises many lesser rhythms, lesser arcs on the same 'primordial pattern,'"[13] just like the nekyia.
The post-Jungian James Hillman however made some clear distinctions among them:
The descent of the underworld can be distinguished from the night sea-journey of the hero in many ways… the hero returns from the night sea-journey in better shape for the tasks of life, whereas the nekyia takes the soul into a depth for its own sake so that there is no "return." The night sea-journey is further marked by building interior heat (tapas), whereas the nekyia goes below that pressured containment, that tempering in the fires of passion, to a zone of utter coldness ... The devil image still haunts in our fears of the unconscious and the latent psychosis that supposedly lurks there, and we still turn to methods of Christianism – moralizing, kind feelings, communal sharing, and childlike naivete – as propitiations against our fear, instead of classical descent into it, the nekyia into imagination… (Only) after his nekyia, Freud, like Aeneas (who carried his father on his back), could finally enter "Rome".[14]
Cultural references
"Thomas Mann's conception of the nekyia draws extensively from 'the doctrines of the East...Gnosticism, and Hellenism'".[15]
Jung viewed Picasso's "early Blue Period ... as the symbol of 'Nekya', a descent into hell and darkness".[16]
In 1937, English composer Michael Tippett planned a large choral work based on Jungian concepts, titled Nekyia. The work would become the basis of his secular oratorio, A Child of Our Time.[17]

Same spot today. Oil company and lumberyard are both redeveloped. Fortunately the old train station and wooden outbound platform shelter still stand.
Memorial of Glory was built in 1975 to the 30th anniversary of the Victory in the Park of the 28 Panfilov Guardsmen from the east side, in the same year the Eternal Flame was lit. The opening of the memorial complex of the four parts was held 8 May 1975. The first part - the high relief "Oath" (on the left side) - is dedicated to the young fighters for Soviet power in Kazakhstan. The central part of the triptych, The Deed, depicts the images of Panfilov heroes who defended Moscow with their breasts. To the right is the composition "Trumpeting Glory", which gives the whole memorial an optimistic sound, its images embody the anthem of triumphant life. Near the Eternal Flame there are massive cubes of labradorite, under which capsules with soil from the heroic cities are immured. It is a monument of art, architecture and history (included in the register on 20 April 1980), included in the Almaty State Historical-Architectural and Memorial Reserve (decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan № 46 25 November 1993).
The 28 Panfilov Guardsmen Park is an urban park near the Ascension Cathedral in east-central Almaty, Kazakhstan. The park honors the Panfilov's Twenty-Eight Guardsmen, 28 soldiers from an Alma-Ata infantry unit of the Red Army who reportedly died during World War II in the Battle of Moscow. Named after Soviet General Ivan Panfilov, they are remembered for delaying the German advance into the Soviet capital of Moscow during Operation Barbarossa. An eternal flame commemorates the fallen soldiers, situated in front of a black monument honouring troops from all 15 Soviet republics.
The park covers an area of 18 hectares and is covered by smooth paths and alleys that run through a mixed deciduous grove comprising perennial oaks, elms, aspens, maples, poplars, pines, and firs. The park's historical significance and architectural ensemble make it a point of interest for both residents and tourists.
The park was founded in the 1870s on the site of a Cossack village cemetery, originally named Starokladbischensky Park (Russian: Старокладбищенский парк, lit. 'Old Cemetery Park'), which was destroyed in 1921. The only preserved graves belong to Leonilla Kolpakovsky, buried in 1860, and her grandson Vladimir Basilevsky, buried in 1882; the gravestone was restored in 2011. Mass grave memorials for victims of the 1887 earthquake are now lost. The park was later connected to a Catholic Garden and renamed Urban Garden. In 1899, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Russian poet Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837), the park was renamed Pushkin Garden. Between 1904 and 1907, construction occurred on one of Almaty’s few surviving Tsarist-era buildings. In 1913, it hosted an agricultural and industrial exhibition for the Romanov Tercentenary, organized by military engineer Andrey Zenkov. New buildings were constructed, with 28 state-owned and 15 private pavilions showcasing Kazakh national art and crafts. Nearby, the Ascension Cathedral and the Verny City Council were equipped with electricity, enhancing the Garden City image.
In 1919, the park was renamed Park of the Fallen Heroes in honor of those who fought in the Russian Civil War, later changing to Lenin Local Park due to a prohibition on urban cemeteries. By 1927, as Alma-Ata became the capital of Soviet Kazakhstan, it was renamed Federation of Soviet Republics.
On 5 May 1942, the park was renamed to 28 Panfilov Guardsmen Park in honour of the Panfilov's Twenty-Eight Guardsmen of the 1075 regiment of the 312th rifle division, who defended Moscow in November 1941. The park includes historical buildings from the early to mid-20th century, such as the Ascension Cathedral, which was built without nails, the Kazakh Museum of Folk Musical Instruments, and the House of Officers. Today, the park is a popular destination for locals and tourists. During Victory Day celebrations, Almaty residents lay flowers and wreaths in memory of those who died in World War II. Zenkov played a crucial role in the park's development and in improving Almaty. In 1982, the park's significant sites, including the museum, Ascension Cathedral, and Memorial of Glory, were listed as historical and cultural monuments of republican significance in Kazakhstan.

Celebrity hair transformations always end up shocking us, sometimes in a good, inspiring kind of way that makes us want to jump up and experiment with the same look. And other times, the transformation is so dramatically ridiculous that we just can’t shrug off those awful creeps every time we imagine our own hair like that.
But we have to admit, some celebrities are pretty bold and reckless when it comes to haircuts and dye jobs, and the way most of us run away from change, that’s just the kind of attitude we need in our lives.
Here, feast your eyes on some of the hottest celebrity hair transformations so far in 2017:
All our lives we’ve been believing, and forcing others to believe that, girls with naturally curly maggi noodles have no right to flaunt front bangs unless and until they own a straightening iron.
Well ladies, supermodel Allana Arrington has gone ahead and slammed down all such hypocritical bang-notions by sporting the hottest haircut of the season, which is curly bangs with a messy shoulder-grazing bob. Her look is amazingly energetic and a major source of inspiration for curly heads who’ve been devastating their gorgeous curly strands with straightening products and equipment.
Katy Perry’s insanely cool pixie haircut has undergone a razor sharp shortness, and we just can’t believe how someone can look so unbelievably sexy with such short hair! Seriously, is there anything this gorgeous woman can’t pull off? Except for throwing shade at Britney, no one can do that, uh-uh!
Kim K’s long and seek black layers have undergone a massive chop and now, the sexy bombshell is flaunting a razor sharp long lob with a sensual center-partition that allows her lob to artfully frame her face.
Kristen Stewart walked down the bold lane by shaving her head and dying it beach blonde to create an edgy punk hard look for the promotions of her upcoming film, Personal Shopper.
Sophie Turner’s pastel pink streaks are making headlines for all the right reasons, and we love how they’ve energized her wavy blonde locks. This is the perfect look for summer, reports suggest that Sophie experimented with this look to revamp her style for Coachella.
Well played Sophie, very on-point for festival fashion, but what we’re all really wondering is, can Sansa Stark pull off these funky pink streaks in her medieval braids?
It seems as if Selena Gomez has bid goodbye to her long wavy strands and embraced a dramatically messy and sporty bob. The tousled chin-grazing bob works wonders to mark a refreshing change for Selena, and we can’t say we’re not delighted because this is truly the best summer-friendly hairdo that doesn’t scare us away with its pixie-sharpness. No offense Katy Perry!
Demi Lovato ditched her sleek and long hair, which were hair extensions anyway, to get a dramatically tousled shoulder-grazing lob. We have to admit, the lob has added life to her hair, it looks so much more voluminous and her new vibe is so refreshingly energetic.
It appears that sleek bobs are trending super-hot on the fashion radar, and Kerry Washington is one of the celebs to hop on the bandwagon for a sleek and sharp look. She ditched her fringed layers for a just-below-the-chin bob that framed her cheekbones with subtle side-parted layers in the front.
The most edgy and stunning appearance at Alexander Wang’s fall’17 showcase did not come from the collection itself, but in fact, it was Kylie Jenner’s insanely drop dead dramatic shag that commanded all attention. The makeup empress ditched her long layers for a sharply razored shoulder-grazing bob with a dramatic full-fringe that covered up her long forehead. It’s a very dominating look and we must admit, Kylie pulled it off with a lot of glamour.
