I've been using the Mint Pepper Session Tracker available from Peppermint Tea for what seems like forever now. I love being able to see how users are browsing my site.
A few days ago I fixed a horrible wrongdoing in my site known as "No Home Link." It shouldn't have taken me a year to add it, I know. What I've noticed in the week since it's been there is that people are navigating my site by returning to the home page and diving back in from there.
This isn't really a surprise, as I myself will do the same. When I get to a site, sometimes I'll notice a link on the front page that I'm interested in, but click on something else first. Rather than try and find that other information from where I am now, I'll go back to the home page and find that thing I saw before.
Anyway, you can see here that this user (among others) is doing just that. Interesting.
This poor woman was buried alive - below is the story from the BBC website:
At the beginning of the eighteenth century Edinburgh had become an important centre for the study of anatomy. Students were assigned one cadaver ā usually an executed criminal ā on which to practice their studies. However this was not a sufficient amount and gradually students and surgeons began to seek other ways in which to obtain corpses to dissect.
One such method was to exhume the bodies of the recently buried. This act of āgrave robbingā was apparently practiced quite widely, especially here in Ireland. Body snatching was carried out by āresurrectionistsā who were able to forge a career out of this ghastly act.
Sometimes though the bodies of the recently deceased were dug up ā not to be used for research ā but so the grave robbers could remove any valuables such as jewellery from the body.
One such case that recalls the dark era of body snatching is that of a young woman who lived in Lurgan around 1705, named Margorie McCall. This case is a little different from most thoughā¦
It is believed Margorie was married to John McCall ā who is thought to have been a surgeon ā although it was common in those days for people to have more than one ātradeā ā and she lived with her family in Church Place.
Margorie is thought to have fallen ill and - as her family thought ā died. There was quite a lot of commotion at the wake concerning a valuable ring that Margorie was wearing. Many of the mourners tried in vain to prise the ring from her fingers ā perhaps because they anticipated the possibility that grave robbers would desecrate Margorieās resting place in order to steal the ring.
After the wake ā which was traditionally an attempt to avoid premature burial as the family of the deceased would sit and watch over the body for a few days to see if the person awakened - Margorie was duly interred in Shankill Graveyard. That very same night her body was exhumed by grave robbers. The robbers also tried in vain to remove the ring from her finger, but could not. Eventually a blade was produced ā perhaps with the intention of severing her finger to remove the ring. As soon as blood was drawn from Margorie she came to ā revived from the coma-like state - or āswoonā - she had fallen into. This obviously gave the robbers the fright of their lives and they fled the cemetery never looking back. She climbed out of the coffin and began to make her way home.
Meanwhile her family were gathered around the fire at home when they heard a knock at the door. Margorieās husband John ā still wrecked with grief ā exclaimed ā āif your mother were still alive, Iād swear that was her knock.ā And sure enough, upon opening the door John was confronted by his ālateā wife ā dressed in her burial clothes, very much alive. He fainted immediately.
It is said that Margorie McCall lived for some years after this grotesque event and when she did die she was returned to Shankill Graveyard and to this day her grave stone still stands.
It bears the inscription ā
āLived Once, Buried Twice.ā

Valencia March 2009 L'Ofrenda floral. This is what is known as the "Ofrenda de Flores a la Virgen de los Desamparados", a floral offering to the Kingdom of Valencia's patron saint, Our Lady of the Forsaken. All the Fallas Committees take part in this event, decked out in their finest, to present their bouquets of flowers to the enormous image of the Virgin which stands in the centre of the plaza named after her, overlooked by her Basilica.
This occurs all day on their days of March 17th and March 18th. The virgin's body is then constructed with these flowers. The Falles (in Valencian) are a Valencian traditional celebration in praise of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Falles refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration.
Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a falla which is eventually burnt. A casal faller is also known as a comissió fallera.
The name of the festival is thus the plural of falla. The word's derivation is as follows:
falla ā Vulgar Latin *facla ā Latin facula (diminutive) ā Latin fax, "torch". There are a few different theories regarding the origin of the Falles festival. One theory suggests that the Falles started in the Middle Ages, when artisans put out their broken artifacts and pieces of wood that they sorted during the winter then burnt them to celebrate the spring equinox. Valencian carpenters used planks of wood to hang their candles on. These planks were known as parots. During the winter, these were needed to provide light for the carpenters to work by. With the coming of the Spring, they were no longer necessary, so they were burned. With time, and the intervention of the Church, the date of the burning of these parots was made to coincide with the celebration of the festival of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of the carpenters.
This tradition continued to change. The parot was given clothing so that it looked like a person. Features identifiable with some well-known person from the neighborhood were added as well. To collect these materials, children went from house to house asking for Una estoreta velleta (An old rug) to add to the parot. This became a popular song that the children sang to gather all sorts of old flammable furniture and utensils to burn in the bonfire with the parot. These parots were the first ninots. With time, people of the neighborhoods organized the process of the creation of the Falles and monuments including various figures were born.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Falles were tall boxes with three or four wax dolls dressed in cloth clothing. This changed when the creators began to use cardboard. The creation of the Falle continues to evolve in modern day, when largest monuments are made of polyurethane and soft cork easily molded with hot saws. These techniques have allowed Falles to be created in excess of 30 meters.
Dear flickr friends, I've been away for some time, having small projects, not necessarily connected to photography. One project that is related to photography and wanted to share with you is my photo website. Probably the shape of it is not final and will still work on it. Suggestions welcomed!

Campfire Cherry Hand Piesā¦.do I have you intrigued? These little delights were made while camping, they are THAT easy! You can make hand pies with refrigerated dough or try the Tenderflake Pie Crust recipe that I have here on the website. You also donāt need a deep fryer ā just a tried and true heavy skillet that you can put an inch or two of oil in! We made these over the campfire, making them a delicious and easy camping treat for the whole family!
Is anyone surprised that I made cherry hand pies while we were camping? I didnāt think so. There is no doubt about it; I am a glamper you guys. I love making delicious food too much to ever do a hike-into-the-wilderness-and-camp trip. I like a trailer, cold white wine, an oven, a fire and SO much cast iron that you would need an army of Unsullied to carry it with you into the wild.
Speaking of Game of Thrones, ( the Unsullied is a GOT reference) who else is watching? Itās AMAZING to finally see how the ending is unfolding, even if they are making us wait yet another year to find out what the scoop is! I wonāt write any spoilers for those of you that donāt know, but things are getting exciting!
Thatās the only drawback to the trailer, no TV. Ugh, talk about roughing it! How do I survive?
Now, these are cooked in oil, so you are going to need to think about keeping cooking oil in a container at your cabin/trailer etc because let me tell you, YOU CANāT DISPOSE OF THAT OIL DOWN ANY DRAINS! Have an oil disposal plan in place, peeps!
Now that we have that out of the way, think about some cast iron as well. You only need an inch and a half or so of oil ā I am a firm believer in working with as little oil as possible when you are out of the kitchen-which is just enough to cook one side without it sticking to the bottom, then turning it over.
Hot oil can be completely fine to cook with as long as you do it safely. That for me meant no kids or dog around. I have mentioned in my cookbook that I have firm rules when I am cooking with oil. I donāt own a deep fryer so I work with deep pans, just like you do with these cherry hand pies. You donāt need a vat of oil, simply enough heated over the fire to make these easily.
If you use tongs, you can get away with an inch of oil, for sure. If yon turn the pies by gently lifting with tongs and placing the uncooked side back in the oil, you need very little oil. Remember, we arenāt going for professional deep-frying here folks, these are CAMPING cherry hand pies and as much as I āglampā, I forgive pies for being ugly while camping. They only need to taste great after a long day at the beach!
Happy glamping babes!
Love,
Karlynn

Description
Campfire Cherry Hand Pies! All you need is pre-made pie crust and cherry pie filling and you have the best cherry hand pies ever!
Ingredients
1 package of pre-made pie crusts that rolls out, not in a pie plate (has two pie crusts per package)
1 small can of cherry pie filling
1/4 cup white sugar
Also needed: cast iron pan, vegetable oil and paper towels
Instructions
Roll out the pie crust and cut out circles using a water glass. The circles will be around 2-3 inches wide. Gather together the crust and roll out again to the original thickness of the pie crust ( you can use that water glass! Thatās what I did!) and cut out some more circles. Repeat until you have as many circles as desired!
You have two options to make these : you can use one circle and pinch them into a moon like a perogy OR you can use two circles and make them into a round ravioli shape. The ones I made in the photos use two circles.
Place one circle down and place 1 heaping tbsp of cherry pie filling into the center. Place another crust circle on top and using the tines of a fork, press the edges together all the way around. Gently turn over and repeat, sealing the pies edges on both sides with the fork. ( This method works beautifully, I had no leaks!)
Place 1-2 inches of oil in a cast iron pan and place on the fire over coals, not direct flames. Heat the oil until it sizzles instantly when water droplets are dropped into it.
Place 1-2 pies into the pan and cook until the first side is well browned. Take your tongs and turn each of them over.
Once the other side has been browned, remove and drain on paper towels.
If wanted, dredge the pies through white sugar after they have drained on the paper towels.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
You can keep your oil in a container and use it again to fry food in as long as it didnāt get too dirty!
Calories in this recipe have been calculated with the assumption that each pie absorbs 1 tbsp of oil.

Teaching Environmental Sustainability
āIt is crystal clear we are in a great transition period as we have to shift to sustainability. This shift has to be accompanied by a fundamental transformation in the way we perceive the world. And that, I believe, is strongly shaped in the early years of life. I believe the most critical period is K to Grade 4 as children acquire beliefs and values that become the lenses through which we perceive the world. You are doing (next to parents) the most important job in education.ā ā David Suzuki
~
The CITE Cohort and the David Suzuki Lecture
During the year, the CITE cohort lead a student initiative to organize a David Suzuki presentation for the UBC Education faculty and students. At the event, David Suzuki talked about teaching environmental sustainability and he made great links about the importance of connecting and understanding our place with the earth. When we forget that we need ⦠The earth, the soil, water and air ⦠We seem to do the most illogical things with them.
~
Reconnecting Ecology and Economy
In order, for our species to survive, we need to transform our thinking. We need to change our energy and consumption patterns. We have to question our goals of material wealth. Do we really need corporations to always dramatically improve profits every year? Maybe this recession is a wake up call to re-examine our priorities? As David Suzuki said to us in March, āWe have to find some harmony between our ecology and our economy ā after all ā they have a common root.ā
~
Our Role In Shifting Perspectives
David Suzuki said the biggest way to implement change is through reaching societyās children. With our messages and engaging lessons, children have the potential to shift their parents thinking and actions. As teachers, we have the potential to make a gigantic impact on our future.
~
The Power Of People
The event was a huge success and our CITE cohort created a wonderful and inspiring contribution to our profession. It was a powerful example of the endless possibilities of a school community working together.

is the capital of the Co-principality of Andorra, and is located high in the east Pyrenees between France and Spain. It is also the name of the parish that surrounds the capital.
The principal industry is tourism, although the country also earns foreign income from being a tax-haven. Furniture and brandies are local products.
Andorra la Vella is located in the south west of Andorra, at the confluence of two mountain streams, the Valira del Nord and the Valira del Orient, which join to form the Gran Valira. It adjoins the urban area of Escaldes-Engordany. Being at an elevation of 1,023 metres (3,356 ft), it is the highest capital city in Europe and a popular ski resort.
History
The site of Andorra la Vella (literally, "Andorra the Old") has been settled since prior to the Christian era ā notably by the Andosin tribe from the late Neolithic. The state is one of the Marca Hispanica created and protected by Charlemagne in the eighth century as a buffer from the Moorish settlers in the Iberian Peninsula.
The settlement of Andorra la Vella has been the principal city of Andorra since 1278 when the French and the Episcopal co-princes agreed to joint suzerainty. Andorra La Vella's old town ā the Barri Antic ā includes streets and buildings dating from this time. Its most notable building is the Casa de la Vall ā constructed in the early sixteenth century ā which has been the state's parliamentary house since 1702. Andorra la Vella was, during this period, the capital of a largely isolated and feudal state, which retained its independence due to this principle of co-sovereignty.
Well into the twentieth century, the area around Andorra La Vella remained largely forgotten; indeed the state was not part of the Treaty of Versailles, simply because it was not noticed. After political turmoil in the 1930s and an attempted coup by Boris Skossyreff, an informal democracy developed.
In 1993, the country's first constitution formalised this parliamentary democracy with executive, legislative, and judicial branches located in Andorra la Vella.
During this period, Andorra also developed as a tax haven, resulting in the construction of modern banking offices in Andorra La Vella. The city also developed its skiing facilities, to the extent that Andorra la Vella was Andorra's applicant city for the XXI Olympic Winter Games, the 2010 Winter Olympics. However, Andorra la Vella was not selected by the IOC as a candidate city, following the evaluation report of an IOC commission. It also hosted both the 1991 and 2005 Games of the Small States of Europe.
The city's old town is characterized by old stone streets and houses. The central EsglƩsia de Sant Esteve (Saint Stephen) church is part of the area that guidebooks often label as a picturesque part of the city.[4] This was built in a Romanesque style in the eleventh century. As mentioned earlier, the old town also includes the country's historic parliament building. Probably the oldest building in the city is another church, dating from the ninth century, of Santa Coloma.[5]
The city is the country's cultural centre, with the Government Exhibition Hall acting as a main theatre and museum. The piazza outside the parliament building is also the location of a number of events, and the town hosts a music festival every winter.
