Micro mill at Walatowa Timber Industries (WTI) mill facility, where the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF) and the Pueblo of Jemez have worked together to utilize the timbers harvested from USDA restoration work such as the Southwest Jemez Restoration Project and the proposed Rio Chama Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) to help supply harvested timber is processed into wood pellets for heating, poles for utilities, Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, White Fir and Spruce beams and vigas for conventional and traditional home building, ties for railroads, posts for fences, milled lumber, mulch and firewood, in Jemez Pueblo, NM, Sept 10, 2019.
The Southwest Jemez Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project is a long-term forest and watershed restoration strategy to increase the landscape's resilience to severe wildfire and other large-scale disturbances. The landscape area is approximately 210,000 acres in the Southwest Jemez Mountains (SWJM) comprising the entire upper Jemez River watershed and including 110,000 acres on the Santa Fe National Forest, the 86,000-acre Valles Caldera National Preserve, the Pueblo of Jemez Pueblo, and additional parcels of state, private, and tribal lands. The project area includes ponderosa pine, mixed conifer, aspen and piñon-juniper forests as well as grasslands, meadows, riparian areas and aquatic habitats. The effect of human activities has significantly changed the ecological complexion of the landscape within the Jemez Mountains. Over time, the suppression of natural wildfires has dramatically altered the diversity, age, and productivity of native plant species. The forests have experienced dramatic increases in tree densities, thick understories, and ground litter. Decades of livestock grazing have left river and creek embankments without enough vegetation to hold the soil and shade the waterways to provide optimal temperatures for native trout and other aquatic species. Invasive plants and noxious weeds have encroached across the landscape, diminishing the quality, quantity and diversity of native forage for both wildlife and livestock. The overall goal is to restore the forest to conditions that were common to this geographical area prior to the first European contact. The SWJM project was designed to meet four primary purposes:
•Restore the forest's resilience to wildfire and other disturbances by using low-intensity fire to return fire to the landscape
•Protect cultural resources
•Improve wildlife habitat, watershed and riparian conditions, vegetation diversity and water quality
•Create local economic development opportunities
The program allows Walatowa Timber Industries (WTI) mill to process and sell the harvested timber. WTI produces wood pellets, poles for utilities, Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, White Fir and Spruce beams and vigas for conventional and traditional home building, ties for railroads, posts for fences, milled lumber, mulch and firewood.
The USDA FS Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF) have worked with the Pueblo of Jemez on the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) that encourages the collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of priority forest landscapes. This helps to reduce the threat of wildland fire through hazardous fuels removal, promotes forest health through reducing insect infestation and disease, and the harvest of timber will go to the tribe’s nearby Walatowa Timber Industries mill.

Work in Progress on the roof of the second floor of the Batcave. The structure uses 15 technic plates that are 16x16. Each plate is pinned together with 48 technic 3L Pins with Friction Ridges. A total of 648 pins in an alternating pattern to pull it together. The outside is strengthened with 23 Modified 8 x 8 with Grille and Hole in Center Plates. Lighting and bats will be added next.
Mark Irwin worked for Convair as the Chief of the Film and Video Group from 1944 to 1977, during one of the most innovative and productive time periods of the company’s existence. His work covers Convair’s premier programs such as the Seadart, the R3Y Tradewind, the Atlas ballistic missile, the POGO and the Tomahawk cruise missile. In addition to routine filming projects, Irwin conducted a variety of unusual shoots such as cold weather (snow) environments at Squaw Valley and Bemidji MN, and in 1956 embarked on a 2 year assignment at Cape Canaveral, FL at the very beginning of the Atlas program.

About a week ago I met Mannix Flynn who was protest against the renewal of BID under the banner “WE ARE NOT DUBLIN TOWN”. As various parties are now exchanging legal letters I will not comment further on this issue. I was a bit surprised that he was not too happy with the LUAS Cross City project. Unlike Mannix I am in favour of the project mainly because I use nothing but Public Transport to get around and I am a big fan of trams and trains.
I do admit that I am really fed up with the ongoing construction work that has greatly impacted my area for many years … my photographs will give you some idea as to what it has been like.
Mannix described the trams as monstrosities [meaning awful rather than big]. Many people may not be aware that the new trams will be extended versions of what are currently being used. The new trams will consist of nine sections rather five making them more like trains and there is a certain amount of logic to this because what is currently being built is a pre-metro.
A pre-metro is a tramway or light railway which includes segments built to rapid transit standards, generally as part of a process of conversion to a metro-standards railway usually by the construction of tunnels in the central city area. The concept of the systematic use of tunnels to carry tram lines under city centres was devised in Germany during the 1960s when, instead of building expensive entire metro systems immediately, the idea of building only the city centre tunnels at first was implemented. They could be used by trams in the short term, but the intention in the long run would still be the conversion to full underground-based rapid transit systems. The idea spread to other European countries in the 1970s, especially Belgium, where such systems were named premetros.[ Also portion of Vienna's U2 subway line (Rathaus-Museumsquartier) is a converted underground tramway line built in 1966.
I am not sure if the final system will actually include tunnels but there will be two sections Brides Glen to Charlemount and Broadstone to Broombridge that already meet light rail standards [these sections use dedicated track separated from any other types of traffic]. I am not 100% sure about the section between Sandyford and Charlemont.

Happy Halloween!!! We have had a busy week and an even busier weekend. As event coordinators for the local rescue my husband and I have to attend every event. Sita is marvelous with babies, small children, adults, and older folks. Since she is a gentle soul who loves everyone she gets to come to these events. I caught this funny shot of her asking to come out of the x-pen and mingle. She worked very hard and even wore her Halloween costume and the donation dog vest.
Made for the Active Assignment Weekly group, this week: Hard Work.
The only way out of the global recession will be from hard, honest work. The auto mechanic who fixes your car, the railroad engineer who hauls our produce, the metal worker who forges raw material into tools, the salary worker who has decided to become an entrepeneur, or the scientist who assures that the next communications satellite makes it to orbit are only a few examples of people, who everyday, will assure that a prosperous future is ahead of us.
The assignment for this week will be to take a photo that depicts the results of, progress of, or the conclusion of an honest day's work. It can include anything, animal, human, vegetable mineral as long as the photo's subject speaks "hard work" as a part of its message.
Restrictions: no text overlays
Dare: make it a night shot.
What it took: It takes real guts to play a real game. Lots of planning and hard work go into the strategy that decides where you places those little round chips. This game is also being played outside a local tap house (aka "bar"), which supports the hard work of the bartender and our local economy.
Bhang maker displays his green gold for the camera near Sehwan Sharif at a place known as Molla Ali Kuwa'n (well of Ali). It is also called Punj Tan ka Bagh.
Bhang is a popular item on the menu of lots of faqeers, pirs (sic), dacoits and policemen. Therefore, in areas near major Mazars (tombs) bhang is freely available and faqeers share them with each other. They say it makes them coward and after having it they just want to hide from the public view.
When it's warm at work people tend to get a little "nuts". This is what they did to someone so she wouldn't get out of her cube; but she escaped anyway.
Right across from the trains and lego area is this sweet board where you can showcase your work.
Some very interesting "doodles" there. [If you are ever in NYC there's another set of impressive ones on the fourth floor.]
My favorite is the one on the top left, love that vibe. :)
Bob, from R.P. McLaughlin Plumbing & Heating in Salem, is a funny funny guy, as well as being able to scrunch down small. He's working on the pumps for our new gas heating system.
Given how many pictures I took of various workers, almost none came out. I have flash issues.
Winter break was an experiment this year to see how both my wife and I handled an extended period with me presenting as Bree. While, I still don't have plans to transition it's something we both needed to get a handle on.
So, no 'turning it off' even for a holiday party at work friend's house. This is just the quick selfie I took to prove that everyone's dog loves me and for some reason instantly assumes I want their presence even though I am not a dog fan at all. Still had a fun afternoon with nice folks and great food!
