The Sandy River Basin, a scenic and recreational treasure, is located within 25 miles of one-third of Oregon’s citizens. Nearly a quarter million visitors each year are drawn to the scenic deep gorges, adventurous whitewater, runs of wild salmon and steelhead, and the Barlow Road portion of the Oregon National Historic Trail.
Located just above the Sandy River, the Sandy Ridge Trail System provides trail opportunities specifically designed for mountain bikers in the foothills of the Cascade Range. The Sandy Ridge system offers over 15 miles of single-track trail ranging from beginner flow trail to narrow technical trails with exposure. The system was designed and built with assistance from the International Mountain Biking Association and Antfarm YouthCorp and input from user groups such as Northwest Trail Alliance and local stakeholders.
The Third Silesian Uprising was the last and largest and longest of the three uprisings.
The Third Silesian Uprising began on May 2–3, 1921, with Polish destruction of German rail bridges in order to thwart immediate German measures to suppress the uprising. A particular concern was to prevent a recurrence of the many acts of violence that had been perpetrated against the populace by German paramilitary groups, the Freikorps, which had ostensibly been created to support the German border-protection police. The Freikorps comprised mostly volunteers and demobilised German soldiers.
After an initial success of the insurgents, taking over a large portion of the area of Upper Silesia, the German Grenzschutz several times resisted the attacks of Wojciech Korfanty's Polish troops, some cases in cooperation with British and Italian troops. An attempt on the part of the British troops to take steps against the Polish forces was prevented by General Jules Gratier, the French commander-in-chief of the Allied troops. Eventually, the insurgents kept most of territory they had won, including the local industrial district. They proved that they could mobilize large amounts local support, while the German forces based outside Silesia were barred from taking an active part in the conflict.
Twelve days after the outbreak of the insurrection Korfanty offered to take his troops behind a line of demarcation (the "Korfanty Line"), conditional upon the released territory not being re-occupied by German forces, but by Allied troops. It was not, however, until July 1 that the British troops arrived in Upper Silesia and began to advance in company with those of the other Allies towards the former frontier. Simultaneously with this advance the 'Inter-Allied Commission' pronounced a general amnesty for the illegal actions committed during the insurrection, with the exception of acts of revenge and cruelty. The German Grenzschutz was withdrawn and disbanded.

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and
Third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Happy to have my first photo of this noisy guy with the help of my new toy at river side. Heard their sounds for year but they are just too difficult to appoach....
Using shutter line this time, it offers a more easy focusing and quicker response to birds. But the magnification of my eye piece+camera still too large (about a 4000mm lens), which seems a little bit outside the optical resolution of my scope and leaving me an exposure time of 1/20s during a sunny day. Another unexpected problem is the wind, half of my photos failed on that.
Should seach for an eye piece with low magification now......
My little vice can be used as a third hand tweezer. It's a reverse action heatproof twizzle, good for soldering. I made the vice from a tractor piece.
Well of old synagogue where Kaifeng No. 1 Hospital is now located.
In 1908, Gustaf Mannerheim estimated that a third of Kaifeng's population was Muslim. “You frequently meet Chinese with typical Turkish heads—aquiline nose, beautiful almond eyes with an uncovered caruncle, well-trimmed beard etc.” He had heard that many had immigrated as merchants from Istanbul during the Tang Dynasty, the golden era of the Silk Road. There was even a small Jewish community of about fifty-five households, mostly poor, engaged in small business. “I did not see a single full-blooded Jew,” he wrote. “All of them had some Chinese blood in their veins, and I saw no typical Jewish heads.”
While in Kaifeng, I hired a guide to take me to the "Jewish Quarter." It was located in Nanjiaojing Hutong (alleyway). Here, I met Zhao Pinyu, aged eighty-one, a Chinese Jew who had a Menorah in her house. “During the North Song Dynasty, many, many Jewish people lived here. This old woman is very queer, very queer,” my guide told me. Later, we went to the Kaifeng Number One Hospital into a utility building. A man in underwear came our and showed me the well of the old synagogue that had apparently crumbled to the ground in the mid-nineteenth century during the Taiping Rebellion.

Mike decided to make a run for my civilians. But we are the Ijad! We treasure life! And we don't like to lose our victory points!
I had to call my whole army back to fight him. He found himself in a two front situation, fighting me on one side and Rich on the other. It went about like you'd expect.
In the end, Mike lost two frames, leaving him with 9 points. I fought him (and won), and that managed to yield me 15. Michele Mishko (who filled in for Bill, who had to attend to con duties) ended with 15 as well, and Rich ended with 21, having really benefitted from Mike and me getting into a furball.
