The Alaska Women Reject Sarah Palin Rally was held outside, on the lawn in front of the Loussac Library in midtown Anchorage. Home-made signs made a clear statement that Sarah Palin does not speak for all Alaska women, or men.
The rally was organized by a small group of women, talking over coffee. It makes you wonder what other things have started with small groups talking over coffee. KBYR radio, home of Eddie Burke (a long-time uber-conservative Anchorage talk show host) announced the rally and called on his listeners to protest the protest. He also referred to the rally organizers 'a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots', and then went further... reading the home phone numbers of the organizers aloud over the air, urging his listeners to call and tell them what they thought. The organizers, of course, received some nasty, harassing and threatening messages.
Basically, in Anchorage, if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, it's a success. A real statement will have been made if there had only been 15 demonstrators surrounded by hundreds of menacing 'socialist baby-killing maggot' haters.
About 20 minutes before the scheduled start of the rally, there was a long line of sign wavers stretched the full length of the library grounds, along the edge of the road, 6 or 7 people deep!
The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not including the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the great State of Alaska.
The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by. And even those that didn't honk looked wide-eyed and awe-struck at the huge crowd that was growing by the minute. This just doesn't happen in Anchorage.
Then, the infamous Eddie Burke showed up. He tried to talk to the media, and was instantly surrounded by a group of 20 people who started shouting O-BA-MA so loud he couldn't be heard. Then passing cars started honking in a rhythmic pattern of 3, like the Obama chant, while the crowd cheered, hooted and waved their signs high.
So, if you've been doing the math Yes. The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin's rally that got all the national media coverage! So take heart, sit back, and enjoy the photos. Feel free to spread the pictures around to anyone who needs to know that Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans. The citizens of Alaska, who know her best, have things to say.

According to legend, the Glastonbury Tor is the The Isle of Avalon, burial site of King Arthur.
Name: St Michael's Church, monastic remains, and other settlement remains on Glastonbury Tor
Overview
Heritage Category:Scheduled Monument
List Entry Number:1019390
Date first listed:24-Apr-1951
County:Somerset
District:Mendip (District Authority)
Parish:Glastonbury
The Diocese of Bath and Wells
National Grid Reference:ST 51198 38597
Heritage Category:Listed Building
Grade:I
List Entry Number:1345475
Date first listed:21-Jun-1950
Reasons for Designation
The complex of settlement remains, graves, building foundations, and standing remains on Glastonbury Tor have been demonstrated by excavation to reveal a lengthy period of occupation on the Tor lasting, with possible gaps, from around the fifth or sixth centuries through to the Dissolution of 1539. The height, shape, and prominence of the Tor in an otherwise flat and once marshy landscape means that it will have attracted attention for its defensive qualities as well as being naturally attractive as a place of spiritual or religious pilgrimage. The high status nature of the pottery and metal finds of the post-Roman period found in excavation suggest the use of the site as a stronghold although an early Christian settlement cannot be ruled out. Certainly, the site supported what appears to be a monastic retreat from at least the tenth century and churches were successively built on the summit. The second medieval church has been shown to have been accompanied by contemporary buildings suggesting that a permanent presence was retained on the Tor in order to attend to pilgrims and enabling mass to be celebrated; the tower of this church, dedicated to St Michael, still stands as a landmark which may be seen from miles around. A number of surviving medieval documents serve to confirm the antiquity of the Tor as a religious centre and it is firmly woven into the ancient and literary traditions surrounding the presence of King Arthur at Glastonbury. The monument will retain important archaeological evidence for the lives and religious beliefs of the populace of the post-Roman period (a period where evidence is otherwise very scarce), the later Saxon period, and the medieval period, the signifigance of the Tor in former times as a place of worship and the relationship between this site and the nearby Glastonbury Abbey.
Details
The monument on Glastonbury Tor includes part of the below ground remains of a post-Roman occupation site dating from the sixth to the seventh centuries AD, part of a monastic settlement probably dating from at least the tenth century, and part of the above and below ground remains of what has been interpreted as a medieval pilgrimage centre for the cult of St Michael. This latter complex includes the foundations of the church of St Michael and its 14th century standing tower which is a Listed Building Grade I. All of these remains are located on the relatively flat summit and the south west shoulder of Glastonbury Tor, a prominent natural conical hill with a 300m long whale- backed ridge sloping away to the south west, just to the south east of Glastonbury. The summit, at 158m above sea level, has commanding views over much of the flat Somerset Levels which surround it and the Tor is traditionally associated with the legendary Isle of Avalon, a reputed resting place of King Arthur. Although artifact finds of earlier periods have been made on the Tor, the earliest evidence of settlement comes from the post-Roman period (the so-called Dark Ages). Excavation carried out in 1964-66 demonstrated the presence of the remains of timber structures, metal working hearths, and pits, on the summit of the Tor to the north east of St Michael's Tower. These remains, which were planned, recorded, and published, were considered by the excavator Philip Rahtz to represent the site of a post-Roman stronghold or settlement centred on the sixth century, but perhaps dating from as early as the fifth century, of secular or possibly early Christian origin. Two graves discovered in association with the earliest recorded remains were considered to be pagan due to their north-south orientation. Post-Roman finds recovered from the excavation were of high quality for the times and included imported Mediterranean pottery associated with either wine or olive oil which are indicative of a surviving trading network in the post-Roman south west; this contrasts with what appears to be the situation in the rest of the country. There is no evidence of continuity between the early settlement and the complex which replaced it but continuity in some form may be considered likely. In excavation, a number of timber buildings set on platforms cut into the rock and including two possible monastic cells and the post-holes for timber uprights of a possible communal building were recorded. These remains have been interpreted as those of a monastic retreat of late Saxon origin which lasted probably into the early Norman period. A cross base found on the summit was believed to be Saxon in date. Although there is no direct reference to a pre-Conquest monastery on the Tor, a 13th century document known as the `charter of St Patrick' names two lay brothers, Arnulph and Ogmar, residing on the Tor in former times. This suggests that in the 13th century there was a strong tradition that there had been a monastic settlement on the Tor. The summit of the Tor is dominated by the standing tower of the church of St Michael. The original stone church, which may have had timber predecessors, has extant foundations believed to date from the 12th century. This church appears to have formed the focus of a monastic complex and this is confirmed by a charter of 1243 which gives permission for the holding of a fair `at the monastery of St Michael on the Tor'. The 12th century church was reportedly destroyed by an earthquake on 11th September 1275. Rebuilding commenced under Abbot Adam of Sodbury in the first half of the 14th century and the base of the standing tower is believed to date from this period; it was restored in 1804 with the north east corner being entirely rebuilt. The tower, which survives to three stories high but is unroofed, has seven canopied niches on its western side. Five of these are vacant but one contains a statue of St Dunstan and another, the base of a statue of St Michael. Flanking the western doorway of the tower, are matching relief carvings, one of an angel watching over the weighing of a soul and one of St Bridget milking her cow; a relief carving of an eagle is set just below the string course of the upper storey. On the east side of the tower the scar of the nave roof may be seen; its foundation walls partly survive below ground and were recorded and left in situ by the excavator. The exposure of the foundations showed the rebuilt medieval stone church to have been 25m in length inclusive of the tower, and 7.5m wide. Revealed in excavation to the south west of the church were the enclosure wall of the churchyard and beyond that the traces of a suite of buildings of 14th to 15th century date which are interpreted as the living quarters of a resident priest in attendance at the church, and a possible bakehouse for the provision of food to pilgrims. If this interpretation is correct it seems likely that pilgrims attracted to Glastonbury Abbey would visit St Michael's on the Tor as well and that the two establishments were almost certainly linked in some way. All of the above ground stonework of St Michael's Church, apart from the tower, was removed in the aftermath of the Dissolution of 1539 probably at the same time that buildings at Glastonbury Abbey were dismantled. The last Abbott of Glastonbury, Michael Whyting, was executed on the Tor in 1539 as part of the political ramifications of the Dissolution and his quartered body distributed to the four Somerset towns of Wells, Bath, Bridgwater, and Ilchester.

Audience members learn best practices at a "Nonprofit Storytelling Filmmaking Workshop," scheduled as part of the first annual Benevolent Media Festival in Washington, D.C.
www.benevolentmedia.org/2011/11/16/making-soup-with-stone...
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Monday November 7, 2011 10:30am - 12:00pm @ World Resources Institute
Sponsored by Stone Soup Films, a nonprofit film cooperative based in DC, this workshop is a practical look at communications challenges many nonprofits face and how a film can help move the ball forward. This is a hands-on exercise, with real-life scenarios and examples. The workshop will be held at the World Resources Institute, a global environmental think tank.
About the Speaker:
Director/Founder, Stone Soup Films Liz Norton was a freelance television producer for over ten years, with a focus on public policy issues. Those programs included several Fred Friendly Seminars for PBS, which explore thorny political and ethical issues in depth and she has also produced for MTV News, educating teens on crime-related issues such as gun control. During the Clinton Administration, Liz was a research director in the White House Office of Communications. In that role, she served as a link between the president, the press and the public, primarily on the issues involving crime and drug policy. Before then she was a researcher on political campaign finances for Common Cause, a non-partisan lobbying organization. For twenty years Liz has been a director of the Diane and Norman Bernstein Foundation in Washington DC. She founded Stone Soup Films in early 2008.
Like the Queen of Hearts photo, this one also took a year because of my super busy schedule.
I wanted to do Hercules since I first started this series, in fact my first photo was also Hercules.
Through the years, I wanted a super buff Hercules, then I realize recently... I don't need that. He just needs to be fit. I've had people of all shapes, sizes, and colors posing as Disney characters, why should Herc be an exemption? Besides, Joe is pretty darn buff and fit to me! I think he's perfect.
This was shot at Metrocon 2016. The only true thing to this photo is that I kept the floor and the lighting of the original image. Lighting have always been kept the same even if I adjusted it a bit. I had the skirt, shoes, and wig for YEARS!, since I was in high school actually. The wig is a Party City quality, and I had to style that obnoxious wig. The torso section was something I practiced when I was a student at NSU.
I'm really happy with this image. It wasn't what I imagined, but it works. It fulfilled a goal I had since the beginning.

Today I arrived a bit early at the RDS (7am) where the 2012 Web Summit was to take place and therefore had the opportunity to photograph the venue before the action commenced.
The event, which featured a host of big names from the industry speaking and advising start ups as well as other businesses, is now in its third year.
Today’s schedule included round table discussions on big issues such as the state of the start up environment in Europe today as well as chats on mobile payments and the relationships between media and the tech world.

The ferry "Grand Manan V" is shown as it turns to approach the terminal at North Head, Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada. It is completing one of its regularly scheduled crossings from Black's Harbour on the mainland. The trip is 32 km long, and takes about 1½ hours.
"Grand Manan V" has provided reliable service on this run since 1990.
Since 2011, it has served as the second summer ferry. The rest of the year is available for service whenever the newer "Grand Manan Adventure" has breakdowns.
Still going strong, ex Trent Excel 165 is now at Northampton with Meridian. A regular on the 31 service from town to Kings Heath, it alternates the 15 min schedule with a swb Excel.Seen leaving Kings Heath on Wed 5th Dec 2012.
After traveling to Montreal in 2014 for Eurokracy, I’ve always wanted to return. But due to a busy schedule last year and some last minute plans changing, it didn’t happen.

A continuing adventure in the original Cass Technical High School yeilds some interesting images.
Cass Technical High School, formerly known as Cass Union School, was founded in 1861. Cass Union School was established to provide training in woodworking and metal trades for young men. The school was built on land given to the City of Detroit by former Secretary of State and Michigan Governor Lewis Cass. The donated land formed a triangle at Second Avenue, Grand River Avenue, and High Street West. That land had a pickle factory on it, but they transformed it into a school building. In 1918, Cass Technical High School lent its space to Ford Motor Company outside of regular school hours to allow their employees access to the industrial training facilities within the building. During the 1920s Cass held classes in chemistry, bacteriology, biology, and dietetics for local nurses in addition to printing classes. In 1970, concern over the condition of the school building surfaced. It was feared that the building would be allowed to deteriorate beyond repair and that the school and its curriculum would be eliminated. Modernization of the school began in 1981 and was completed in 1985. The addition was designed by Albert Kahn Associates. The new wing included a gymnasium, various music rooms, a recital hall, and a practice room. The new wing provided an enclosed lunchroom on the second floor that held approximately 700 students. Classes in the business wing were also renovated. The school was closed in 2005 and students were transfered to the new Cass Technical High School right next door. The building has been abandoned and vacant since and is currently scheduled to be torn down in January 2010.
