|A witness told how New Orleans police shot him as he lay wounded on Danziger Bridge [GALLO/GETTY]|
A survivor of an alleged police shooting in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina has described how an officer shot him as he lay on the ground.
Five police officers are on trial over the incident, which left two people dead and four more severely wounded, and an alleged subsequent cover-up.
Robert Faulcon, Kenneth Bowen, Robert Gisevius, Anthony Villavaso and Arthur Kaufman face civil rights violations and obstruction of justice charges. The trial is expected to last several months.
Jose Holmes told the trial on Wednesday how he was shot several times as he lay bleeding on Danziger Bridge.
“I kind of figured if they saw us lying on the ground, they wouldn’t shoot us,” Holmes said.
Holmes said he saw the shadow of “the barrel of a gun” pass over him. “I looked away and tried to brace myself for the shot.”
Holmes suffered gunshot wounds to the neck, abdomen, legs and arms.
Testifying earlier in the trial, Holmes’ aunt, Susan Bartholomew, whose injuries as a consequence of the incident required the amputation of her right arm, described how her arm had been “shot off”.
‘Things didn’t add up’
Earlier on Wednesday, Lieutenant Michael Lohman, the ranking officer on duty (who was not at the scene), testified that he had encouraged officers to “get their story together” because “they seemed to be unsure of what actually happened… Things didn’t add up.”
Tom Ackerman reports on the Danziger Bridge trial
“I felt things had gone wrong on the bridge that day and inappropriate actions had been taken.”
While he says he did not tell officers to make up a story, he said he and an officer discussed a plan to plant a gun, and the other officer assured him the planted gun couldn’t be traced back to police or a crime scene.
He also said that he submitted a false report on the incident.
Lohman faces a maximum of five years in prison if convicted of the charges against him, after reportedly making a deal to testify against officers, shortening his potential jail time from up to 30 years.
Jurors also watched a dramatic video of parts of the incident, showing a rental truck full of police arriving at the bridge and officers jumping out with guns in hand.
Quoted by local journalist Jordan Flaherty, Eddie Jordan, the city’s former district attorney, said that the Danziger Bridge trial would finally make visible alleged corruption at the NOPD.
“This trial is going to show the country and the world that we have a serious problem with our police department… This department is engaged in horrendous acts against its citizens,” he said.
“Fish starts rotting at the head,” adds Jordan. “It’s not surprising that there was a cover-up. You just have to wonder how far that cover-up went.”
The trial is the most well known of nine New Orleans police brutality cases being investigated by the federal government as part of its 158-page report, which stated, “Basic elements of effective policing — clear policies, training, accountability and confidence of the citizenry — have been absent for years.”

West Wing actor Dule Hill files for divorce from actress wife Nicole Lyn after eight years of marriage
West Wing star Dule Hill has filed for legal separation from his wife after just eight years of marriage.
The 37-year-old actor filed documents in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month against his actress wife Nicole Lyn, according to TMZ.
The actor, who also stars in U.S. comedy drama Psych, has cited irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split.

I shuffle around this new space, feeling it both too small and too large at times.
Too small because I’d grown accustomed to the space in which I lived—not vast by any measure but plenty for two adults, a dog, and occasional visitors.
Too small because not all the years of accrued memories and their bits and pieces fit here.
Too small because I am a typically spoiled, white, American female. I have many kitchen appliances.
It is too large because, in my heart, I will never think I deserve this much. Quite possibly, I won’t have it in a few months. For now, though, this few-hundred square feet—two bedrooms, a decent den, a sufficient/efficient kitchen—are more than enough for one human and a dog. Too much, but maybe not for the dog who has long legs and a lot of energy. He sprawls. He wanders. He paces between walks. Were it just me, I could be happy in a studio apartment.
Too large because between the walls, under the beds, behind the doors, the detritus of love is gone. Companionship is a memory to be dredged up here and there in tight conversation.
Too large because an uncertain future looms for myself, my estranged spouse, and my dog, both in the wake of lost faith in the contract of marriage and the in the wake of the 2020 pandemic.
Too large, this space which had no functioning WiFi for a while and so was silent. Too large because of its ease of care. Plenty of time and hush in which to think and feel and read and write. Though, with all that thinking and feeling, I found the lack of WiFi and social media to be a good thing.
I have used this time to gather my wits and figure out who KC is after thirty-six years of being someone else’s other half. Who she is without the demands of normal daily living clamoring at her. I’ve realized I simply don’t want to be an other anymore (in a contractual sense) and that I miss taking part in the outside world and its ruckus. This realization is not why I am here; but it is a somewhat surprising by-product of the move.
From this wit gathering and hush the too-large space tells me, and perhaps it is a lie, it will only ever be filled by me and the dog (dogs?) and the occasional visitors. There’s a strange peace in this.
There is peace in reading again for the first time in months (years?) with the sole purpose of reading, or rather, with the purpose of stuffing my brain with words and ideas in hopes of drawing on their beauty and cleverness later.
There is peace in writing pained poetry with a colored pencil while the dog sighs and flops a tired head on my leg as if to say, “That’s enough now. I’m here.”
For now—assuming I survive COVID-19 and whatever follows, there is peace in hoping that as I shuffle about this space, and perhaps in those to come, I will fill it with the love of my family, a contract with my own dreams, and companionship with friends. I think, perhaps, it will all be okay.

A Chinese gold standard?
The idea is staggering and not to mention fraught with difficulties. China's central bank currently holds 1,054 tons of gold, about 1.8% of its total reserves.
China currently holds $2.85 trillion in foreign reserves. This means the country would need to buy roughly 66,000 tons of gold to fully back its currency. Even if the country upped the ante to just 3%, the country would need to buy 1,000 tons.
China has also been telling its citizens to buy gold, promoting different gold funds, giving investors access to overseas products and launching a global gold contract based in yuan by Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange. The ICBC and World Gold Council recently teamed up for the creation of the Only Gold Gift Bar in China, where a customer can buy gold as a gift complete with engraving and can sell it back to the ICBC for cash.
China’s gambit for global dominance, therefore, rests upon the notion that it must impose economic policies that will boost its power, prosperity, and economic strength. While staying true to the theoretical foundations and assumptions of the communist state, including its commitment to the principles of Marxism-Leninism and Maoism, China realizes that in order for the communist state to be strengthened and prevail victorious, it must incorporate some classical principles and economic concepts associated with capitalism.
Karl Marx believed that all states progressed through a series of several economic stages, culminating in a communist state. Observing economic history in his native Germany, Marx believed that states proceeded from capitalism to socialism, and then culminated in outright communism. Since China never before had a Western-style communist economy, it is now embracing capitalism — not in its true laissez-faire, free-market form, but within the context of centrally-planned state capitalism. After the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, under Deng Jiaoping China began embracing elements of state capitalism, and in 2002, its pantheon of communist theory expanded to include Jiang Zemin’s Theory of Three Represents, which includes an emphasis on economic production, and “represents advanced social productive forces.”
China’s turn toward hard currency in the form of the gold standard is the latest development in its pursuit of wealth and power through state capitalism. This trend has rightly raised the concern of those who fear a dominant Red China, as reported in the Wall Street Journal:
Central to China's approach are policies that champion state-owned firms and other so-called national champions, seek aggressively to obtain advanced technology, and manage its exchange rate to benefit exporters. It leverages state control of the financial system to channel low-cost capital to domestic industries — and to resource-rich foreign nations whose oil and minerals China needs to maintain rapid growth.
China's policies are partly a product of its unique status: a developing country that is also a rising superpower. Its leaders don't assume the market is preeminent. Rather, they see state power as essential to maintaining stability and growth, and thereby ensuring continued Communist Party rule.
It's a model with a track record of getting things done, especially at a time when public faith in the efficacy of markets and the competence of politicians is shaken in much of the West. Already the world's biggest exporter, China is on track to pass Japan this year as the second-biggest economy.
Western critics say China's practices are a form of mercantilism aimed at piling up wealth by manipulating trade. They point to China's $2.6 trillion in foreign-exchange reserves. The U.S. and the European Union have lodged a series of WTO cases and other trade actions targeting Beijing's policies, and hammer China's refusal to let its currency appreciate more quickly, which they argue fuels global economic imbalances.
Similar to China’s economic ascendancy is that of Russia, which has been described as embracing state capitalism as early as under the days of dictator Joseph Stalin’s rule, and to an even greater extent under the rule of its current leader, Vladimir Putin. Tony Cliff, in his book Russia: A Marxist Analysis, first identified Stalinism as a form of state capitalism in 1955, and most recently, Andrei Illarianov, Putin’s former economic adviser, defected from Russia to become a fellow at the Cato Institute, due to what he observed as state capitalism. Illarianov also cautioned that the West, especially the United States, is emboldening and enriching hostile regimes such as Russia and China, through continued investments and economic agreements:
"This is the usual state of affairs of the West. As strange as it may seem, in actuality the West during the course of two centuries, and, perhaps, even longer, has supported any regimes at all. What is important for the West is its own short-term interests. And the West supports relations, including commercial ones, as we know, with Russian special services generals, and with Chinese communists, and with Iranian ayatollahs, and with Saddamist generals... In the 1930s, the West actively cooperated with Hitler's regime — the flow of French, American and British investments into Germany was huge."
“…[s]o one simply needs to understand that that state of affairs which many of us remember from the period of the cold war, when partially certain western leaders — Reagan and Thatcher — took a moral political position in relation to the Soviet Union — such a phenomenon is historically still the exception, and not the rule. The west is extremely pragmatic and sufficiently lacking in principle in relation to external phenomena.”
Russia has also moved toward adopting the gold standard, as previously reported by The Telegraph:
Arkady Dvorkevich, the Kremlin's chief economic adviser, said Russia would favour the inclusion of gold bullion in the basket-weighting of a new world currency based on Special Drawing Rights issued by the International Monetary Fund.
Chinese and Russian leaders both plan to open debate on an SDR-based reserve currency as an alternative to the US dollar at the G20 summit in London this week, although the world may not yet be ready for such a radical proposal.
Mr Dvorkevich said it was "logical" that the new currency should include the rouble and the yuan, adding that "we could also think about more effective use of gold in this system."
Like Russia, which is seeking to strengthen its currency in order to overtake what economist Joseph Liu called dollar hegemony, China has been manipulating its currency and trying to beef up the yuan to make it a more viable global currency. The website of the People's Bank of China says it is trying to allow banks and businesses in countries such as Russia and the U.S. to be able to make direct investments in the yuan, which essentially brings the once-isolated currency onto the world stage. The website explains that this move "better support[s] Chinese enterprises to go abroad and facilitate trades and investments."
Even United States citizens realize the economic superiority of China over the beleaguered American economy, which consistently operates contrary to the capitalistic principles elevating China to wealth at America’s expense. While communist China moves in the direction of market reforms, decentralization, and privatization, including embracing the gold standard, the United States continues to pursue a destructive course of deficit spending, Keynesian economics, unsound and unsubstantiated currency, and economic nationalization. It seems as if Red China has embraced capitalism to a greater extent than the United States, and while Fort Knox remains empty, China has even begun investing in American gold reserves, as reported by The Street (which also notes that because both the United States and China are signatories to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Articles of Agreement, Article IV, Amendment I, ratified in 1978, member countries are forbidden from switching over to a gold standard; they are not allowed to peg their currencies to gold):
But that doesn't mean that China won't try to legitimize its currency by ramping up its gold holdings. The U.S., which sports the current world reserve currency, holds more than 8,000 tons of gold, more than 8 times the size of the SPDR Gold Shares [the largest gold exchange traded product and second largest exchange-traded fund in the world by market capitalization, accounting for over 80 percent of the gold within the Exchange Traded Gold group].
Not only has China been furiously buying gold, but local gold producers have been looking outside the country to find more gold. State-controlled China National Gold Corp bought half of Coeur d’Alene Mines’ gold concentrates from its Kensington gold mine in Alaska.
This seems to be in fulfillment of Vladimir Lenin’s prophetic warning that Communists would “hang the capitalists with the rope they sell us,” as China economically surpasses the United States as it adopts the gold standard, using gold obtained from American mines. In fact, as far back as June 2009, China has been encouraging its citizens and companies to purchase as much American gold, assets, land, and commodities as possible, much of which China owns as part of America’s indebtedness to China. According to a Reuters report, then-head of the Chinese Communist Party Economic Department policy research office Li Lianzhong declared that Beijing should use more of its massive foreign exchange reserves to buy gold to support its aim of raising the international role of the yuan currency, and encourage domestic enterprises to acquire foreign energy and natural resource assets by using part of the foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, Chinese state TV has been featuring numerous Chinese investors trading in yuan paper notes for bars of gold, with China becoming the world’s largest buyer of gold. To quote Wang Zhenying, an official from the People's Bank of China:
China will likely develop more yuan-denominated gold investment products, thus utilizing the more than 30 trillion yuan in savings the country has. A currency's international status depends on its being accepted in trade and settlement and having certain international commodities denominated in that currency helps China's goal to internationalize the yuan. Gold is a good choice to have yuan trading.
It is a sad day for the United States when China adopts economic policies more capitalistic than the United States, and when Beijing is more willing to embrace the ideas of hard-currency advocates such as Murray Rothbard, Ludwig Von Mises, Lewis Lehrman, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) than is Washington, D.C. As long as America continues down its destructive path and allows Fort Knox to remain barren, China will keep on charging toward its goal of global hegemony, overpowering the United States — using the “rope” we sold them and utilizing the facilitating means we so easily surrendered.

At Glastonbury 2008 we got bigger! We had a pedal powered cinema, inside the dome, where we showed a number of short films. A willing participant pedalled away while the rest of the audience viewed the film.
The static bike was connected to a 12 volt battery so the power the cyclist generated was stored. This in turn was connected to 12 volt dvd player and screen , the results can be seen below. Of course we had our bubble machines too, to keep the kids happy!

OK, I've got a build. I could probably do things better and cleaner,
and my app still isn't running but I'm posting this for feedback.
Things I had to change:
# if defined(VTK_SIZEOF_LONG) && VTK_SIZEOF_LONG == 8 && 0
I had to remove the && 0 on this line to use 64 bit ids. Does anybody
know why it is here?
removed Carbon include
hardcoded processors to 2
changed Utilities/CMakeLists.txt to only compile freetype if rendering
changed Main CmakeLists.txt to not link framework:appKit
I can't build testing .... it links to freetype.
In addition I built Parallel:
I had to make these changes:
don't build vtkCompositeRenderManager
don't build vtkParallelRenderManager
in vtkPipelineSize.h and .cxx comment out this function:
unsigned long GetNumberOfSubPieces(unsigned long memoryLimit,
don't link vtkRendering vtkIO
instead link vtkGraphics vtkImaging vtkIO
Any comments on how to do this better would be appreciated.

Reeves’ noting the increasing importance that Pakistan played in Middle Eastern politics served as a backdrop for his commentary on America’s longstanding lack of interest in international affairs. Explanations for this disengagement included a reluctance to acknowledge the increasing vulnerability of the United States. Addendum to explanations are an insistence that Americans become better informed, with 9/11 offered as a warning for what can happen again, should isolationism continue to dominate.

When should I expect my baby bump?
You’ll probably start to show in pregnancy at 12 to 16 weeks.
You’re more likely to show early if you’re short, carrying multiple babies, or you’ve been pregnant before.
By week 20, your doctor will start measuring your fundal length, the distance between the pubic bone and the top of the uterus..
Which month of pregnancy does the stomach get bigger?
You’ll likely notice the first signs of a bump early in the second trimester, between weeks 12 and 16. You might start showing closer to 12 weeks if you are a person of lower weight with a smaller midsection, and closer to 16 weeks if you’re a person with more weight.
Where do you start to feel your baby bump?
“With a first baby the abdominal muscles are strong and the bump doesn’t start to show until it starts to rise out of the pelvis at around twelve weeks and can be felt just above your pubic bone,” says midwife Anne Richley.
Can twins cause a negative pregnancy test?
You cannot conclusively distinguish a single pregnancy from twins on a urine pregnancy test. That said, you may have a very early positive pregnancy test if you are carrying twins.
Can you be pregnant with no bump?
Women who are very fit may have no periods at all, which could make detection of pregnancy harder, and if the baby is small too, then there may be no real noticeable pregnancy bump.
How do you self check your stomach for pregnancy?
Walk your fingers up the side of her abdomen (Figure 10.1) until you feel the top of her abdomen under the skin. It will feel like a hard ball. You can feel the top by curving your fingers gently into the abdomen. Figure 10.1 With the woman lying on her back, begin by finding the top of the uterus with your fingers.
Why do I feel pregnant but the test is negative?
You can get a negative result on your pregnancy test for two reasons: You are not pregnant or you are pregnant, but you tested too early for the pregnancy test you used to pick up the hCG ‘pregnancy’ hormone in your body.
Does a pregnant belly feel like fat?
Before women start obviously showing (at around 20 weeks for a first pregnancy), they may feel bloated and fat, or find their clothes don’t fit. Before pregnancy, the uterus is about the size of a pear and sits low in the pelvis, Hoffman said.
Can you start showing at 7 weeks?
7 Weeks Pregnant Belly Every mom-to-be is different, but many report starting to “show” in the middle of the second trimester when the uterus outgrows the pelvis. Moms-to-be who are 7 weeks pregnant with twins should expect to show earlier than that, but at this point, it’s nothing but bloating for everyone.
Can you be 5 weeks pregnant and test negative?
Although it’s less likely, it is still possible to be pregnant even if urine and blood tests come back negative. If you still believe you are pregnant after receiving negative urine and blood test results, your medical provider can perform a transvaginal ultrasound to determine whether you are pregnant.
How does it feel to have a baby bump?
You might feel sharp pains as your round ligaments stretch to accommodate your growing bump. Heartburn could also become an issue, since your expanding uterus is now pushing on your stomach.
Can I be 2 months pregnant and have a negative test?
The hook effect incorrectly gives you a negative result on a pregnancy test. This can happen during early pregnancy or in rare cases — even into the third trimester, when it’s pretty clear you’re preggers. During pregnancy your body makes a hormone called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG).
When does your stomach start to get hard when you are pregnant?
During the early stages of pregnancy, around 7 or 8 weeks, the growth of the uterus and the development of the baby, turn the the belly harder.
What does your tummy feel like in early pregnancy?
‘Feeling’ pregnant Many women will notice that they feel uterine cramping as an early sign and symptom pregnancy. You could even feel period like cramps or even pain on one side. The most common reason for this kind of cramp is that your uterus is growing.

The latest weather graphics show that south of England could be hit by a band of snow 285 miles wide early next month.
This comes after a weekend of ice and snow disruption for Bristol, Gloucestershire and Somerset.
The Met Office issued a raft of weather warnings, and the South West remains under a yellow warning today and tomorrow (January 25 and 26), with icy stretches expected to cause some travel disruption.
More snow could be set to reach us, and the rest of the south of England, within two weeks, if these predictions prove to be accurate.
Weather mapping service WX Charts has predicted where snow will be falling across Somerset, Bristol and Gloucestershire through the coming fortnight.
To get breaking news like this straight to your inbox, click here
The mammoth patch of snow is expected to stretch over the south at the start of next month.
Here is a three-hourly rundown of where snow is expected across the counties on February 4.
When snow is predicted over Somerset, Bristol and Gloucestershire
Snow will begin to creep across the south of England in the early hours of the morning, with Devon and Cornwall seeing the wintry weather first.
However, by 6am light snow will have moved across into southern and western Somerset.
Through the morning, the band will move towards Bristol and Gloucestershire.
Heavier bands of snow will move across Somerset and Bristol, creeping up towards Gloucestershire.
The entirety of the south west will be covered by noon and this is projected to be the heaviest period of snowfall during the day.
The snow is forming part of a large band of winter weather moving across the length of England from the west.
The snow band will continue to move up to the north of England, but start to separate.
A pocket of clear skies will open up above Bristol and Somerset by the evening.
The heavier of the winter showers will move west across south Wales.
Areas of Somerset and Gloucestershire will see a light dusting of snow.
By the following day the band will have started to separate, moving north and eastwards across England. Gloucestershire and parts of northern Somerset may still see light snow peppering the ground as the flurry continues to dissipate.
The forecast for the South West
According to the Met Office, the weather today will be mostly dry and cloudy, with some scattered showers. It will be pretty nippy, reaching a maximum temperature of 7 °C.
There will be no rain this evening and overnight, but cold clear skies with a minimum temperature of -1 °C.
Long range forecast for January 29 to February 7:
The Met Office describes this week as one with “unsettled conditions” and “changeable weather”, with periods of rain, showers, and strong winds.
They describe how occasional colder northerly winds could bring the chance of snowfall and a “higher than average” chance of cold weather and wintry outbreaks, which could bring overnight frost and fog to the south.

The Walking Dead EP Says Maggie Will Return As A New Character
Lauren Cohan stepped away from The Walking Dead in the early part of season 9 – in the same episode as Andrew Lincoln, to be exact – but unlike her co-star, the actress is returning as Maggie Rhee in the show’s very next episode. Yes, Cohan is set to be back on the series fulltime from the delayed season 10B finale onward, which we at last know is hitting AMC this October.
TWD chief content officer Scott M. Gimple spoke with ComicBook.com recently and teased a little about what we can expect from Maggie now that she’s back. Among other things, he promised big changes for the former Hilltop leader, even describing her as like “a new character” seeing as she’s spent so long away from her friends
“She will return somewhat a new character, which is kind of cool, and all those things that affected and changed her are a story that we want to mine,” Gimple said. “And the dynamics that she left the story in are not the dynamics that she’s coming back to and for her especially, it’s like she took a year off of high school and she’s coming back and everybody has changed.”
When the series jumped six years into the future in season 9, episode 6, Maggie was explained to have left Hilltop for somewhere far away with her son, helping Georgie establish a new, unknown community. The opening scene for the finale shows Maggie retrieving an old letter from Carol, which is how she finds out about the threat of the Whisperers and presumably makes her way back to help them in their final battle against the villains.
As Gimple teases above, when Maggie does return, she’ll discover many changes, including a few missing friends and a former enemy now considered an ally. Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan have previously teased that there will be a lot of animosity between Maggie and Negan, now that he’s out of his jail cell and apparently redeemed. And Morgan thinks Negan may even bond with young Hershel, which would certainly be an interesting development for The Walking Dead.

So I had very high expectations for our Christmas card this year and I never did come up with anything too creative. I did try the lollipop thing but none of those pictures turned out very well. Then I wanted to do 3 ornaments with each individual picture of the girls and that failed too.
So here is the final product. What do you think? I took 150 pictures and ended up with ONE good one of all 3 girls.

"If it Never rains then we will never grow."
It's true for people and its true for plants too. If it never rains then nothing will grow. I think here in Western Oregon we have had plenty of rain to make lots of things grow! While most of the country has inches and feet of snow we haven't seen one snow flake this year. In some ways its really nice not to have the snow. In Oregon we see so little snow that it really causes problems with traffic and getting to and from places. Though at times it would be really nice to have that snow white blanket covering the mud that is all over the farm.... and it would be a little cleaner for the farm children to play in.
In the Greenhouse
I avoided photos of the greenhouse last week in our Around the Farm post. This week I decided I'd show you the ugly mess that it is in January.... at least this year since we didn't plant anything over the winter. The grape vine is missing its leaves, the grass is over grown, the bean plants are dead and moldy. It really just isn't what it should be. But life happens and gives us a chance to reflect on our choices. This year we made choices that involved putting our time in places other than the green house.
My sad attempt at throwing some spinach seed in the green house turned into a gnarly mess. While there are a few leaves that could be salvaged its really only enough for maybe one salad.
The slugs seem to be enjoying bits of it and mold the rest of it. The spinach also looks like it spent more time trying to go to seed than to make leafs.
Carrots! These have been in the ground a little long, the only plus to that is that I don't have to figure out where to store them. They will be coming out Thursday when we start the greenhouse clean up.
The Swiss chard looks like its coming back to life but could also use its share of clean up. There are plenty of moldy leaves to get rid of.
Even with the shade cloth on the greenhouse things are warming up and these arugula plants think its time to go to seed. I guess at least we can plant arugula again soon without buying new seed.
Broccoli flowers are showing up. We had so many bugs on these plants that the chickens should have a fun time cleaning them up when we send them in on their greenhouse project.
That's our broccoli harvest. Yep like two little buds of broccoli. Later this year we will be planting it outside to help with the bug pressure and growing temperature.
Our hazelnuts are mostly doing their job in the greenhouse. Back in August or so we laid down hazelnut mulch in the greenhouse pathways to try and keep the grass down. In hind site plastic might have been a good option to put under nether them. We have a little weeding to do but the mud was kept at bay and it still looks decent in the pathways.
These leeks were planted last spring and it looks like they are almost harvest size. At least these three!
A side shot of the greenhouse. See how well that hazelnut mulch is keeping down the grass! Usually there would be a carpet of grass down the aisle trying to get away from us.
ARound the Farm
We grew pounds and pounds of squash last year and it was stored on our front porch since our root cellar wasn't done yet. Sadly between the freezing temps and the alternating warm weather a bunch of it started to wrought. Nothing goes to waste on the farm though, the chickens were more than happy to put that butternut to use.
Not much grass left in the pasture and a WHOLE LOT OF WATER. January is always ruff on the animals and the grass but God is good and will send warmer weather soon! And with it more grass!
Little Bitty says "hi"! She has been rather lonely lately. Our two little lambs, Hey Ewe and Dodge, were re-homed and Roscoe, the goat, doesn't care for the rain. He doesn't have a woolly coat like Little Bitty and so he hides in the barn most of the time.
I thought she was being friendly and wanted petted then she proceeded to try and ram me. Guess she had me fooled!
The weeds are growing! HAPPY DANCE! Yes I know, I'm crazy. But you know what that means, if the weeds grow that means seeds can grow. And if seeds can grow that means its time to plant spring crops in the greenhouse!
The garlic we planted in the fall seems to be pretty happy! This is our first year planting garlic and we are excited to see how it does. We use our share of garlic in the farm kitchen. It would be nice to have a locally grown source.
The borage is making a come back... that bee attacking plant! It doesn't look like I will have to replant it which will be nice. At this rate is should also be big and tall and flowering by spring helping to bring those pollinators into the garden sooner.
Wet and sloppy. This water is running all over the the farm. Thankfully its keeping to the areas it is suppose to stay in but the farm is still wet and muddy.
More water, something I got to jump over as I cam down from the hill. Its always a slippery slope back behind the house and I've slid down the hill a few times. Thankfully I kept that white on my skirt white and made it down ok .... this time.
The Mary Garden isn't very pretty at the moment. Those calendula sorely need to be cut back. The new calendula are sprouting up and taking off already. These are the most hardy flowers I have ever encountered. Almost like a weed, but not. They are very wanted right in this spot!
A calendula trying to sprout in January! Pretty amazing isn't it?! The things have only been out of bloom for about a month and they are ready to take off again. We love these little flowers so much! They are what got us started on our herbal journey and tea making!
Those clouds! They are great, dark and mysterious! But.... in their own way beautiful to boot.
Tea Studio Progress
Taping and texturing continue on the addition/tea studio. This is the dining room extension, the entry way the foyer. We aren't sure what to call it yet or what it's function will be but its getting closer to finished!
Last week we picked out our flooring for the stairway and the tea studio. Fake, but looks like real, wood vinyl plank flooring. We are hoping this will look fantastic and rustic.
In the Farm Kitchen
Kombucha! This poor scoby hasn't been fed in probably two months. I'm afraid instead of kombucha we probably have some serious vinegar going on in here. Its on my to-do list to freshen this tea up and do something with the vinegar. Are you a kombucha drinker? What is your favorite flavor?
Two loaves every other day. Our sourdough bread baking is still going strong. Thankfully through my illness the Farmer learned to make sour dough bread and has done a pretty good job at it! Light and fluffy and not too sour, just the way we like it.
In the Farm Store
Today we infused some garden salve oil so we could make Lavender Lemongrass Garden Salve and shoot a video while doing it. That video should be up tomorrow so that you can make your very own at home! Made with Oregon grown lavender, some of those calendula we mentioned above and comfrey. Its just what the hands need after a hard day in the garden and drying soil.
The bee's wax we use in our salve come from a local bee keeper in 2 pound blocks. Those two pound blocks are really hard to measure up so we always melt our wax down into something smaller and more manageable. Someday I'll have an official mold that says 100% bee's wax and molds the wax in bricks. For now I had this Christmas tree mold and it seems to work ok. Anything is better than trying to chisel off the right amount of wax for the recipe!
Royal Ann's Roses is the newest edition to our farm tea collection. This royal beauty is headed to our Tea Club members come February 6th! Paired with some locally made chocolate, a great recipe and more. If you would like to try this rooibos based tea out make sure you check out our Tea Club for more details!
Locally grown Royal Ann cherries and pink bachelor buttons are sprinkled in this coming months tea. As always we have to include a little local flare in our teas. Thanks for stopping by the farm this week and we will see you tomorrow with a video and blog on how to make herbal infused salve!

(CBS/AP) Rival Lebanese factions reached an agreement to resolve their 18-month political crisis after five days of intensive talks in the Gulf state of Qatar, Lebanese Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamadeh said Wednesday.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani said at a ceremony Wednesday in Doha that the agreement is be "carried out immediately" and that the election of a new president of Lebanon will follow within 24 hours.
The agreement was a major triumph for Lebanon's Hezbollah-led opposition, as it met the side's two key demands — veto power in a new national unity government, and an electoral law that divides up Lebanon into smaller-sized districts, for better representation of the various sects.
But the opposition was not gloating, and Hamadeh said "there are no losers" in this agreement. "Lebanon is the winner," he told The Associated Press on the phone from Doha, the Qatari capital.
Qatar's prime minister said Wednesday morning that the election of a new president of Lebanon would take place within 24 hours, following the agreement.
Hamadeh said the factions reached the breakthrough deal at dawn Wednesday. A signing ceremony was expected at 10:30 a.m. (07:30 GMT), chaired by Qatari ruler Emir Sheik Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Speeches by both sides and the Arab mediators would follow, he said.
An opposition-allied Lebanese parliament speaker said the opposition protest encampment in central Beirut, which has been in place for more than a year, would be dismantled after the deal in Doha.
The Qatar-hosted talks came on the heels of Lebanon's worst internal fighting since the 1975-90 civil war, with clashes earlier this month between pro-government groups and the opposition raging in the streets of Muslim west Beirut, the central mountains and the north. At least 67 people died.
As the country came close to a new all-out war, Arab League mediators intervened and got the sides to agree to hold negotiations in Qatar on resolving the crisis that has paralyzed the country.
Along with veto-power on government policies, the Syrian-backed opposition will get 11 seats in the Cabinet, while 16 seats would go to the U.S. and Western-backed parliament majority, and the remaining three would be distributed by the elected president, according to Hamadeh.
He said the rival factions have also agreed on a new election law satisfactory for both sides. The new electoral law is significant because it will determine how the sides distribute power in the capital and directly influence the outcome of the next parliamentary elections in 2009.
Lebanon has been without a president since November, when Emile Lahoud stepped down, with the rival factions unable to resolve their differences over a future government. Both sides, however, have agreed on Gen. Michel Suleiman, the army chief, as a consensus candidate, but Parliament could not muster a quorum to meet without both sides agreeing on remaining issues — including the formation of the national unity government and electoral law.
Hamadeh said he expected Suleiman to be elected by Friday.
He also said legislators from the parliament majority, who have been living abroad fearing for their safety after a wave of bombings targeting mainly anti-Syrian lawmakers and politicians, would be asked to return to Beirut to vote for the president in parliament.
CBS News' George Baghdadi, reporting from Damascus, said Syria backed the agreement just a few minutes after the parties in Doha had announced it Wednesday.
"Syria supports the accords signed in Doha by Lebanese parties," Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Mualem told reporters in Syria.
Syria was forced to withdraw troops from Lebanon in 2005 after huge demonstrations following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. Nobody has ever been held responsible for his death.
Asked whether the agreement bans Hezbollah's supporters from taking up arms and turning their weapons on fellow Lebanese as they did earlier this month, Hamadeh only said the "agreement forbids internal use of weapons ... and calls for dialogue ... on the whole subject of arms."
The agreement was struck after host Qatar stepped up pressure Tuesday, offering the rival factions two drafts on how to end the deadlock and a day to consider the proposals.
Lebanese television reported that the Qatari Emir intervened personally late Tuesday, arriving at the Doha hotel for meetings with leaders of both Lebanese camps. The emir had visited Saudi Arabia earlier in the day.
The negotiations had hit snags from the very start, with neither side willing to give concessions. By late Tuesday, they were back to working in joint committees on how to divide Beirut into electoral districts.
The 18-month political deadlock started when Hezbollah-led opposition lawmakers resigned from the government in November 2006 to protest the Cabinet's refusal to grant them enough seats to ensure veto power.
The Qatar deal was also a triumph for the tiny energy-rich Gulf state. Lebanon's stalemate had defied mediation efforts by other Arab and European countries, including shuttle diplomacy in the last year by the foreign minister of France, Lebanon's former colonial ruler.

which begins with quotations from Mark Twain and Florence King, respectively:
"Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be"; and
'Very' is the most useless word in the English language and can always come out. More than useless, it is treacherous because it invariably weakens what it is intended to strengthen".
The article goes on to include this exhortation by N.H. Kleinbaum to
avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys--to woo women--and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.
And yes, this is followed by 45 erudite words that are superb (to the point of causing a glistening in the eyes of inveterate verbivores) alternatives to the plebian “very”.
(To whet the reader’s appetite, one should substitute “terrified” for “very afraid”; “furious” for “very angry”; and “atrocious” for “very bad”.

Early Morning 2-Car Crash on Highway 76 in Vista Turns Fatal
VISTA, CA (September 2, 2019) – A 64-year-old Oceanside man died in a two-vehicle crash early Monday morning in Vista, the California Highway Patrol reported.
The crash happened around 3:35 a.m. at the intersection of eastbound Highway 76 and East Vista Way.
According to the CHP, a Nissan Sentra was turning from westbound Highway 76 onto East Vista Way when it collided with a Jeep Wrangler that was heading eastbound.
As a result, the man driving the Nissan died at the scene. His identity has not yet been released pending notification of his family members.
The Jeep’s 34-year-old driver complained of pain.
CHP said the Medical Examiner’s office would determine the man’s sobriety at the time of the crash. The driver of the Jeep was not impaired.

The Disney retail experience will be coming to three Asda stores this month.
At Asda in Milton Keynes 3,000 square-foot of floorspace has already been converted, while Manchester’s Trafford Park will follow on October 8th and Cardiff City store on Monday 15th October - all open in time for Christmas.
The partnership promises to provide Asda customers with a Disney themed shopping experience while on their weekly grocery shop.
Asda workers have undergone special Disney specific training as part of the deal.
The Disney themed and branded areas will house Disney and Marvel products in one area of the stores. Products include DVDs/Blu-Ray discs, home and leisure, video games and more.
Andrew Moore, chief merchandising officer for George and general merchandise at Asda, said: “We’re excited to be opening the first ever new ‘Disney at Asda’ formats in the UK in these three stores – it has been a close collaboration between the two businesses and the resulting concept will be a stand out in retail for us and for our customers. Customers have long-known they can come into store, or visit us online, and be able to choose from a large selection of quality licensed products at Asda’s every day low prices, and the transformed space in these stores will make shopping for the characters they love easier and more accessible.”
Mike Stagg, general manager, retail, The Walt Disney Company UK & Ireland, added: “Initiatives like ‘Disney at Asda’ form an important part of our wider retail strategy to maximise our distribution channels and make Disney products accessible to families to suit their needs, depending on their shopping habits and preferences. We are delighted to be working with Asda on this project.”

Race-Calibrated Servo Return Spring Kit [28133-HD]
Availability: In stock, usually ships within 1 to 3 days.
Price: $11.71 / Ea
Mystery band failures in GM Powerglides are a common result of using inconsistent aftermarket servo return springs and weak OE springs prone to collapse. This is a problem that can be traced directly to the pin bias effect. Sonnax race-calibrated servo return spring kit 28133-HD counteracts pin bias effect to ensure consistent servo function for longer band life and a cooler transmission. The spring's higher seat pressure helps ensure full servo release, but also features a lower spring rate to prevent excessive release force in the apply position.
- Counteracts pin bias effect up to 275 psi
- Includes two .050” shims to aid in tuning at higher line pressures
- Works with both OE and aftermarket servo pistons
- Also available in Sonnax servo kit 28821-20K

“So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm”, proclaimed the Queens herald.
But they all knew the truth. They would come to harm whether they did their duty or not. The only difference lay in how quickly the harm would come. The Queen cared not for their life. She didn’t give a thought to her subjects coming to harm.
The only things she cared about was her wealth prospering, her power growing, her legacy and legend spreading, her monuments to rise and compete with the ancient marvels of the world. Hers would be the biggest temple, the highest tower, the grandest tomb.
Little did she suspect, hers would be the most spectacular assassination. Thought out and plotted by the greatest minds of the country. Impaled by the sacrificial bull. Crushed by falling marble. Interred in the fallen tower of follies.
Written for tonight’s Prosery: Doing our duty at dVerse. The prompt where we write prose inspired by a given line from a poem and not exceeding the word count of 144.
Tonight’s line is from William Blake’s poem ‘The Chimney Sweeper:’ In Songs of Innocence (1789)
So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm

Great bit of drama, Redcat. Well penned.
Oh, excellent, Helene! Perfectly told. I can imagine the Queen’s herald proclaiming, and the people rumbling.
“But they all knew the truth. They would come to harm whether they did their duty or not. The only difference lay in how quickly the harm would come.” I daresay what you write here is a universal truth. I do love how the rebels interrupted her trajectory. Triple slam dunk. :)
Wonderful, Helen! This made me think of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. I like how the Queen met her downfall. Those with what they believe is absolute power always stand in a precarious position. Is the main photo of Angkor Wat?
Great images. I love that rousing ending!
So good, Helene! <3
The marble image is powerful Well done.
So well done!
Greed never has a good ending. Nicely penned!
I so love the triple layered assassination of the queen here :D potent, and brilliant use of the line by Blake. Love it! 💝💝
To achieve greatness by being assassinated is great, makes me think of the murder of Julius Caesar, which is a large part of his legacy.
Love how you used Ingrid’s line …. and the Queen got her just desserts.

The Annual Kids Fishing Rodeo Day is sponsored by Pickens County Sportsman Club and Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This year’s event will happen Thursday ~ Saturday, a 3-day event. Those with special needs are able to fish on Thursday, Senior Citizens on Friday and the Kids Fishing Rodeo on Saturday. Saturday there will be lots of kids with their family and friends, participating in the ‘kids only’ fishing for trout. This event is to teach kids the sport of trout fishing by letting them, not their parents or another adult, fish and enjoy themselves (and they do every year).
This annual event was started some 20+ years ago and happens each year with lots of help from businesses and individuals right here in Pickens County. The Pickens County Sportsman Club and the Department of Natural Resources need a big Thank You for without their continued support of this event each year, we wouldn’t have it so please, take a minute to Thank all the people and the businesses for their time.

A mix of turn-based and real-time play
The concept of "real-time" has begun bleeding into the otherwise turn-based world of Nova-111, a super-neat-looking game from ex-PixelJunk developers. I'd recommend watching this trailer to get a better handle on what that means, exactly. In short: "good things."
I got a bit of a mobile vibe from the footage, but Nova-111 is thankfully planned for release on PC, Mac, and Linux this year. As much as I like the look of the aforementioned gameplay premise, it's the sci-fi theme and charming personality that push this one over the top for me.

Ms Blue Eyes loves love. She follows me around like a dog would and meows the entire time. During morning and evening chores she is by my side with both dogs. She has begun to explore the tree in Chancies turn out and has no fear of the horses either. I have found her several times now hanging out with Luna.
Ms Green Eyes let me pet her the other day but that was it. She's back to walking away from me when I come to close. She is happy girl though, more confident with every day and oh boy is she cute.
I am thankful for barn kitties, feral or not.
