Salted Caramel Latte is an indulgent drink for those days when you need a little extra comfort or feel like being pampered. It's sweet with a little saltiness, plus I added some cocoa powder for just a hint of chocolate flavor.
A fancy coffee shop specialty drink can easily be made at home and save you lots of money. Typically I'm a plain coffee type with just a little sweetener and creamer added.
But… this past September my husband and I went on our first cruise- a Princess Cruises Cruise off the coast of California. It must have been a month for firsts because I had my first Salted Caramel Latte on the cruise.
One for each day of the cruise.
There was a wonderful coffee shop on the Ruby Princess called the International Cafe and boy were their Salted Caramel Lattes ever good! We got one each day late in the afternoon. I don't usually drink caffeine late in the afternoon, but hey we were on a cruise ship.
With our Salted Caramel Lattes in hand we'd head out to the Promenade Deck, take a seat, and watch the sun set over the water.
That's my idea of heaven y'all!

Salted Caramel Latte is an indulgent drink for those days when you need a little extra comfort or feel like being pampered. It's sweet with a little saltiness, plus I added some cocoa powder for just a hint of chocolate flavor.
Combine milk, caramel sauce, and cocoa powder in a small saucepan. Heat until very warm, stirring well to dissolve caramel sauce and cocoa powder.
Add coffee and use an immersion blender to blend until frothy, or place in a blender and blend to get frothy.
Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream and more caramel sauce.
As an alternative to using Salted Caramel Sauce, use regular caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt.

This is so happening this morning. Hey, I might even go all the way and make mine a salted caramel mocha ?
That sounds like a magical cruise! Glad you had fun! And also loving that I can make one of these at home, my hubby LOVES them!
Your latte photos are stunning! This looks so tasty and perfect for a chilly afternoon!
Oh my GOSH. Salted caramel lattes are seriously my favorite thing to order at the coffee shop and now you're telling me I can have it at home?? This is why we're friends, Christin. 😀 I seriously can hardly stand how amazing these look!
Salted caramel lattes are one of my favorites! I love that you can make it at home for a fraction of the price and calories that you would find in a coffee shop. This looks just perfect for a Monday, Christin!
Will you be bringing me one of these this weekend? Mmmmkay, thanks. 🙂 Looks amazing!!
Can you believe it's this weekend! Can't wait to see you!
At this moment, I am sipping on a caramel latte in a coffee shop, and I wish I saw this first. Need to try this soon!
Looks like an AMAZING cruise – I love cruises!! All the wonderful sights and of course tastes, and I bet your variation on this latte tastes even better!

NORLA presents its report on Norway as Guest of Honour at the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2019
Design: Helge Hjorth Bentsen, NODE Berlin Oslo
Norway as Guest of Honour at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2019 is the country's largest overall cultural initiative abroad. The main goals set for the initiative by NORLA were achieved. The goals were to renew the foothold of Norwegian literature in Germany, to create new international interest in Norwegian literature, to showcase Norway as a modern cultural nation and to revitalize the relationship between Norway and Germany through cooperation on literary and cultural projects.
The Frankfurter Buchmesse is beyond doubt the world's most important book fair when it comes to the sale of foreign rights and international dissemination of literature in all genres. The Norwegian guest of honour status was used as an arena for the presentation of a myriad of voices from Norway, as well as sparking the joy of reading and, not least, it served as a platform for promoting freedom of speech.
Record number of releases in German
510 Norwegian titles appeared on the German book market in 2019, both translations from Norwegian and books written about Norway in German. Of these, 296 were books from Norway. 80 Norwegian authors were translated into German for the first time. Six Norwegian titles appeared on bestseller lists in Germany during 2019. Norway has had a strategic collaboration with German bookstores, which is unique in context with being guest of honour.
Great media attention in Germany
Norway as the 2019 guest of honour sparked an enormous media interest in Germany, and writers from Norway, the country's literature, culture and society have received extensive coverage in TV features, radio and print media. In October 2019, themes related to Norway as the guest of honour were mentioned close to 15,000 times in German media, which is a guest of honour record. The so-called "Advertising-Value-Equivalency" estimates to around NOK 800 million.
Comprehensive literary and cultural programme
In 2019, around 200 authors from Norway presented their books in more than 100 cities and locations in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. 100,000 visitors came to the guest of honour pavilion during the book fair, where 100 authors participated in the program.
Central to the collaboration with Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit as ambassador for Norwegian literature during the guest of honour year was the literary train in Germany, where nineteen authors participated.
Through 2019, several hundred program events were arranged in which art and culture from Norway have been included, exhibitions, concerts, guest performances, tours, film screenings, performing arts, architecture, artist talks and workshops. A highlight was the exhibition of Hannah Ryggen's tapestries in Schirn Kunsthalle.
The total cost of the project is around NOK 52 million, which is in line with the budget for the guest of honour initiative. This report documents and evaluates NORLA's work on the project and results in relation to the goals for the initiative, adopted by the board of NORLA and incorporated in the letters of support from the Government. The Ministry of Culture is the principal for an ordinary, external evaluation of the results achieved for all partners in the guest of honour initiative, which will be conducted in 2020.

Abstract. The room-temperature reactive ball milling (RBM) approach was employed to synthesize nanostructured fcc-titanium nitride (TiN) powders, starting from milling hcp-titanium (Ti) powders under 10 bar of a nitrogen gas atmosphere, using a roller mill.
MgH 2 –TiH 2 nanocomposites have been obtained by reactive ball milling of elemental powders under 8 MPa of hydrogen pressure. The composites consist of a mixture of β-rutile MgH 2, γ-orthorhombic high pressure MgH 2 and ε-tetragonal TiH 2 phases with nanosized crystallites ranging from 4 to 12 nm.
Subsequently, the synthesize NaAlH4 by means of reactive ball milling starting vial was evacuated and afterwards filled with 100 bar of H2 from commercial NaH and 325 mesh Al powder. In our work (purity 99.999%, purchased from Air Liquide).
The milling intensity is a very important parameter to MA and reactive ball milling. For example, a full amorphization of a crystalline NiZr alloy can only be achieved with a milling intensity above an intensity threshold of 510 ms −2 .
Homogeneous and stable inorganic coating of SiO₂, Al₂O₃ and TiO₂ was obtained on the surface of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by mechanically mixing them with precursor compounds in a planetary ball mill and by subsequent hydrolysis.
Therefore, reactive milling can be an alternative technique to produce oxides from metals. Since ball milling is a violent technique involving damaging the material, we may expect that resulting oxides would have a nanocrystalline structure.
activate chemical reactions (reactive milling) . Metal matrix composite powders produced by high energy ball milling feature a high density and complete embedding of very fine reinforcing particles with even distribution in the metallic matrix.

Marc's blog: flying high at Eden!
TAGS: Eden Project
How did you spend New Year's Day? I started 2012 by being dangled from the top of the 165-foot high roof of the Eden Project and I should warn you now that it's not for the faint-hearted, writes AG news editor Marc Rosenberg.
Let me explain. I decided to burn off the excesses of Christmas and the New Year by climbing to the Rainforest Lookout, one of the most recent additions to the Cornish visitor attraction.
Officially opened in 2011 by adventurer Bear Grylls, the Rainforest Lookout is a metal platform suspended high from the roof of the rainforest biome at Eden, the biggest greenhouse in the world.
My challenge, set by my so-called friends, was to climb the nine flights of stairs to the roof of the biome (which is taller than the Tower of London), take photos of the rainforest canopy from above and 'Tweet" them to Amateur Gardening's Twitter followers from the platform.
This was a particularly stupid challenge because I have no head for heights. I don't like flying, nor do I have much of an appetite for tall buildings, so quite why I agreed to embark on this vertigo-inducing mission is a mystery.
Every visitor who wants to climb to the lookout has to take a medical questionnaire: do you suffer from disabling giddiness? Have you got high blood pressure? Do you suffer from a heart condition? Are you on medication for anxiety or tension? Do you have difficulty in dealing with high temperatures? Are you pregnant? It doesn't exactly put your mind at rest.
And after signing that you're fit to climb, you must then wait in a queue, along with other nerve-wracked visitors, as only a handful of people are allowed to climb to the platform at a time, to avoid overloading it.
Climbing the stairs was the worst bit. When I say stairs, I mean a steep line of metal steps suspended from the biome's roof. Because the steps are hanging from wires, they swing from side to side. Each step is made from metal gauze so you certainly don't want to look down (or drop your mobile phone or keys!)
Half way up I almost bottled it. The stairs were swinging from side to side like an aircraft being buffeted by sidewinds on its final approach to landing (except that I didn't have a sick bag). As you'd expect above a tropical forest in a greenhouse, it's also incredibly hot and humid – up to 40C – and I was making slow progress, holding on to the side-rails for dear life!
As you can see from my pictures, I made it to the Rainforest Lookout platform (which also swings on cables from the roof). The birds-eye view of the rainforest canopy is spectacular and made the whole ordeal worthwhile.
You can see the tops of giant trees such as kapok and balsa which have almost reached the biome ceiling. I took my photos (admittedly with a little camera shake), sent my Tweet and started the long trek down which felt remarkably easier than the journey up!
James Bond fans may remember that 007 scaled the roof of the Eden Project in Die Another Day (2002), but I think I'll leave the stunts to Pierce Brosnan for now and stick to gardening.
However, if you're visiting Eden I'd say give the Rainforest Lookout a go. Just don't look down…

Russia Election: Vladimir Putin Wins By Big Margin
Vladimir Putin will lead Russia for another six years, after securing an expected victory in Sunday's presidential election.
Mr Putin, who has ruled the country as either president or prime minister since 1999, got more than 76% of the vote, official results show.
The main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, was barred from the race.
Addressing a rally in Moscow, Mr Putin said voters had "recognised the achievements of the last few years".
Speaking to reporters after the results were announced, he laughed off a question about running again in another six years.
"What you are saying is a bit funny. Do you think that I will stay here until I'm 100 years old? No!" he said.
The scale of victory – which had been widely predicted – appears to be a marked increase in his share of the vote from 2012, when he won 64%.
The race also included Ksenia Sobchak, a former reality TV host, and veteran nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky – they got less than 2% and about 6% respectively.
Mr Putin's campaign team said it was an "incredible victory".
"The percentage that we have just seen speaks for itself. It's a mandate which Putin needs for future decisions, and he has a lot of them to make," a spokesman told Russia's Interfax.
In some areas, free food and discounts in local shops were on offer near polling stations.
Video recordings from polling stations showed irregularities in a number of towns and cities across Russia. Several showed election officials stuffing boxes with ballot papers.
Mr Navalny was excluded from the election because of an embezzlement conviction that he said was manufactured by the Kremlin.
In his first reaction to the news, Mr Navalny indicated he had been unable to contain his anger.
"Now is the season of Lent. I took it upon myself never to get angry and not to raise my voice. Oh well, I'll try again next year," he tweeted.
* Voting papers found in some ballot boxes before polls opened
* Observers were barred from entering some polling stations
* Some people were bussed in amid suspicion of forced voting
* Webcams at polling stations were obstructed by balloons and other obstacles
Videos taken from the election commission's live stream of polling stations also appeared to show some instances of officials stuffing ballots into boxes.
In Dagestan, one election official said he was prevented from doing his job by a crowd of men who blocked the ballot box.
But Ella Pamfilova, head of the Central Electoral Commission, said there were no serious violations.
"We have analysed and monitored everything we could, everything that has arrived. Thank goodness, it's all rather modest so far," she told a commission meeting while speaking about violations.
She had earlier said that anyone involved in violations would be caught.
Sunday's vote was also the first in Crimea since Russia seized the region from Ukraine. Mr Putin's victory rally coincided with the anniversary of the annexation.
The annexation was bitterly contested by Kiev and ratcheted up tensions between Russia and the West. Russians living in Ukraine were unable to take part in Sunday's vote because access to Russian diplomatic missions was blocked by the Kiev government.

Top Five: Breakout stars of the Afcon group stage
BackPagepix.
Ed Dove reveals his top five breakout stars from the Africa Cup of Nations group stage
Not only is Coulibaly the only home-based outfield player included in the Ivory Coast's Nations Cup squad, but he' s also started every game, with Ibrahim Kamara giving him the nod at left-back ahead of Stade Rennes full-back Souleyman Coulibaly.
He hasn't looked out of place, defending stoutly, looking comfortable in possession, and reading the game well.
Only two players at the tournament have averaged more tackles per game than the ASEC Mimosas man.
Goal Kenya.
Joseph Okumu
Kenya have fallen at the first hurdle, and struggled at the back, but at least they've identified the future of their defence in 22-year-old Joseph Okumu.
The USA-based centre-back was somewhat harshly criticised by coach Sebastien Migne after the Harambee Stars' opening defeat, but there haven't been too many central defenders at the Nations Cup who have been more imposing in the air.
Okumu will have learned a lot from this experience and will come back stronger as a result.
Diadie Samassekou
The Red Bull Salzburg midfielder has been increasingly linked with a move to Olympique de Marseille in recent weeks, and based on his performances in Egypt, it's easy to see why he's courting interest from one of Europe's biggest clubs.
No one at the tournament has read the game more effectively than Samassekou, who underpinned Mali's fine draw with Tunisia with a series of fine interventions in the heart of the park.
His tackling qualities have been evident too—he's averaged 3.5 per match—while weighing in with a goal against the Carthage Eagles and an assist in the 4-1 victory over Mauritania.
Faruku Miya
The Uganda No. 10 already demonstrated his qualities at the last Nations Cup, but on this occasion, has been able to play a key role as Uganda have escaped from the group stage.
Still only 21, he was influential—weighing in with both assists—as the Cranes defeated the Democratic Republic of Congo in their opener, and he could have had a goal himself if he'd demonstrated a little more composure in the final third.
He's averaged three chances created per match so far this competition, and there aren't too many players who have carried the ball more effectively than Miya.
Getgy
Joslin Kamatuka
Things might have been different for Namibia had Kamatuka been given more playing time under Ricardo Mannetti.
He finally got his opportunity to start in the final game, against the Ivory Coast, after being picked ahead of Egypt-based forward Benson Shilongo, and responded with the southern Africans' only goal in the competition.
In truth, Kamatuka could have had a few more if he'd shown a bit more poise while bearing down on Sylvain Gbohouo's goal, while his direct dribbling with the ball caused regular problems for the Ivorian backline.


On Monday, less than a week after visiting Israel, South Carolina's three-term Senator Lindsey Graham became the ninth candidate to announce a run for the 2016 Republican nomination for president. Graham, an Air Force veteran, who regularly makes headlines for his hawkish rhetoric and quirky sense of humor is branding himself as the "antidote to Obama's failed foreign policy" – making the fight against ISIS, the Iranian nuclear talks and support for Israel cornerstones of his campaign.
John McCain often refers to Graham as his "illegitimate son" and is a close ally on foreign policy issues in the U.S. Senate. Graham is also a close political ally of Jewish Republican heavyweight Sheldon Adelson. Graham 'kicked off' the 2016 political season with Adelson at a March 3rd speech-watching luncheon for Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress - the event also served as a fundraiser for Graham's political committee.
Graham's home state of South Carolina goes third in the nominating process, which pundits argue could help to give him an early home field advantage over some of his competitors.
Senator Graham has a long history of imflammotry statements, especially regarding foreign policy. Just this past Friday, Graham grabbed headlines again when he said, "Everything I learned about Iranians I learned working in the pool room, I met a lot of liars, and I know the Iranians are lying."
"Next president should negotiate Iran deal because Iran does not respect Obama"
"I have never sent an email"
"Why in the world would you insist on 67' borders?"


The extreme quality mod is a originally a simple tweak graphic that implented several dynamics Shader system (eg Deph Of Field, Radial Blur Filter). The EQM v3 introduces many systems in more than in version 2, they are all dynamic in relation to the player's actions.
The new version puts introduce systems that allow players to enjoy more of the CryEngine 2 graphics engine, and also added shares of gameplay such as running on walls or even the slow motion. The EQM v3 also introduces a new complex system of hitbox that allows to generate effects depending on part of the player's body that are hit (eg headshot = loss of vision of the player).

TweetDeck struck off Companies House register
Closure of Twitter-owned firm will have no impact on users or the performance of the software
TweetDeck: users of the platform will be unaffected by the move.

Mon 6 May 2013 07.11 EDT
TweetDeck Limited has been struck off the register at Companies House after Twitter directors repeatedly failed to file formal accounts for the company over the last eight months.
San Francisco-based Twitter bought TweetDeck, a popular Twitter app among users, in 2011 for an estimated £25m. Founder Iain Dodsworth was removed as director of TweetDeck Limited and replaced with Dick Costolo, Twitter's chief executive, and Alex Macgillivray, head of trust and policy.
Companies House has formally written to both directors and issued them with a series of nominal fees for failing to meet the filing deadlines.
Companies House records now show TweetDeck Limited as formally dissolved.
A spokesperson for Twitter said: "TweetDeck the product continues to thrive as part of Twitter, but the old company has been dormant for some time, with no outstanding liabilities; hence our agreement with the move to dissolve it."
Twitter is continuing to develop and refine the TweetDeck product, for which it acquired all intellectual property and assets under terms of the acquisitions.
This week it is shutting down the Android, iPhone and Air versions to prioritise development of the more complex desktop tool. Nine full-time developers work on the product in London and more developers are being recruited.
The closure of TweetDeck Limited will have no impact on users or the performance of the software.


Deciding Between two or more different health insurance plans can be challenging, especially when its not something you do on a weekly basis. For most people, it's not even something they do on an annual basis. Here are two of the most important things to look at other than price.
Costs are lower whenever you visit a physician within your network because insurance companies get lower rates within their network of providers. Whenever you go outside the network, the physician may not have contracted rates and the costs will make you and the insurance company pay more.
If you have a physician and you want to continue seeing them, check if they are within the provider directories for all the plans you're comparing. You can also ask your doctors directly if they have a preferred health plan.
If you don't have a preferred doctor you might want a plan that has an extensive network so you can have more choices. It is important to have a large network if you live in the rural parts of Florida because you will probably want a local doctor who is part of your plan.
There may be limits on the total money you spend out of pocket every year. In general, if you minimize your premium, you'll probably face higher out-of-pocket costs throughout the year.
a) You frequently see a specialist or primary physician.
b) You are in frequent need of emergency care.
c) You regularly take expensive branded medications.
d) You have small children, expecting a kid or planning to have a child.
e) You have plans to undergo surgery.
f) You have a recent diagnosis of a chronic condition like cancer and diabetes.
You may have narrowed down your options to just a few by this moment. You can further narrow this down by going back to the summary of benefits to check which plans have a wider scope of services in their coverage. Some plans have a better coverage for things such as mental health care and physical therapy. Others may have a better coverage for emergencies.
Skipping this important step can make you miss a plan that is better suited for you and your loved ones.
After narrowing it down to a few options, start addressing the lingering questions. In some cases, you can do this if you only speak with a person. We suggest talking with a licensed independent insurance agent who specializes in Health Insurance like the SunGate Insurance Agency here in Lake Mary. Write down your questions in advance and make sure that you have a pen and paper ready to record the answers.
a) I take particular medications. Will it be under coverage in the plan?
b) What are the drugs for my illnesses that have coverage in this plan?
c) What are the maternity services in coverage?
d) What will happen if I get sick while traveling abroad?
e) How can I start to sign up and what are the needed documents?
At the Sungate Insurance, we care about getting you and your family the right insurance protection and we have access to all the best health insurance options in Florida. To learn more about how we can help you, please contact our agency at (407) 878-7979 or Click Here to request a free quote.

Q: react-query: don't refetch on an interval if there is an error I'm refetching an API on an interval, but I want to stop it if there is an error.
  const { status, data, error, isFetching } = useQuery(
    'todos',
    // only refetch if there is no error
    async () => {
      const res = await axios.get('/api/data')
      return res.data
    },
    {
      refetchInterval: intervalMs,
    }
  )

I could probably store the status.isError on a state variable and then use that with enabled but it seems a bit clunky. I couldn't find anything helpful going through the documentation.

A: The best way is indeed to do it via local state, but you don't need to disable the query if you don't want to - just setting the refetchInterval back to 0 might also be enough:
const [refetchInterval, setRefetchInterval] = useState(intervalMs)

useQuery(
  key,
  queryFn,
  {
    refetchInterval,
    onError: () => setRefetchInterval(0)
  }
)

Finally Found: the Location of Waud's Fredericksburg Pontoon-Laying Sketch?
November 13, 2010 December 4, 2014 / Historian
From: Harrison
In a post about the Upper Pontoon Crossing, I discussed how an iconic Alfred Waud sketch of fighting along Fredericksburg's riverfront, at a site never located definitively, could not be a depiction of combat at that crossing on December 11, 1862. I had been unable to document the existence of a particular building, shown in his sketch as advanced from its neighbors and sporting a lower component that extends to the left of a higher component, in known pictures of the Upper Crossing area, and in relation to the other structures appearing in his sketch.
Here's the sketch, with an arrow marking that advanced, mystery structure, which we'll call "Building One":
Courtesy Library of Congress.
My post went on to speculate that the sketch was evidently not a depiction of the Middle Pontoon Crossing (a mile downstream from the Upper crossing), where Union engineers that same December day completed a 440-foot bridge. It connected a ferry-landing adjacent to the site of George Washington's boyhood home, "Ferry Farm," in Stafford County, to a point along the Fredericksburg wharves on the opposite side of the Rappahannock.
More specifically for the Middle Crossing possibility, I ruled-out as a subject for the sketch the likeliest target of Union bridge-builders seeking to connect to those wharves: an area where a photograph from early 1863 shows that a particular building is advanced noticeably from its neighbors but lacks both the design of Building One and the configuration of a row of structures that Waud sketched to the right and rear of Building One. We'll call the structure in the photograph "Building Two":
For the Middle Pontoon Crossing, my idea of a "likeliest" target-zone for the Union bridge-builders in December 1862 was derived in part from a Union map entitled Position of the Divisions of Humphreys, Whipple, Griffin and Sykes at the battle of Fredericksburg, on Dec. 13th, 1862. Here's the section of that map that specifies the bridge-location—just upstream from the foot of Berkeley Street, or "Rocky Lane"—and upon which I've noted the location of Building Two. It (and not a structure with the design and neighbors of Building One) would have appeared prominently in any sketch of a bridge being built from the Stafford side of the Rappahannock towards a point upstream from Berkeley Street:
So what, and where, was Waud sketching on December 11, 1862? Although I remain certain that his drawing does not depict the Upper Pontoon Crossing on December 11, I eventually found cause to rethink my doubting of the Middle Pontoon Crossing fighting that day as his subject. While examining the backgrounds of two panoramic, pre-battle pictures of the town as seen from the Stafford riverbank, I suddenly noticed in each of their middlegrounds what appears to be a striking match for Waud's Building One…sharing the wharf area with Building Two. Unlike the photograph above, the perspective of both panoramas is wide enough to show the southern third of the wharf area.
Here, below, is the first of the two: a detail of a Harper's Weekly engraving that was based on a summer 1862 panoramic sketch by Henry Didiot of the Sixth Wisconsin Infantry:
(Although the engraving based on the Didiot sketch seems to suggest that "Building One" is actually two structures standing very close together, I will continue classifying it as a single structure for the purposes of this discussion.)
And here, below, is a detail from a pre-battle Waud sketch: a panoramic view from November- or early-December 1862 that Harper's later published as a woodcut:
I now needed a reliable, wartime picture that looked at the wharf-area between Buildings One and Two, head-on from across the river, rather than from the angles used in the two panoramic pictures. Waud's mystery sketch, after all, was a head-on view. I also hoped to find a picture of the southern wharf-area offering more detail, since the two panoramic views diminish in specificity as they move visually away from the riverbank and into their backgrounds, towards Marye's Heights. Exactly what structures were behind and near Building One?
It occurred to me that I might find the further detail and corroboration in a photograph (below) of the Federals' Middle Pontoon Crossing canal-boat bridge. An unknown photographer made the image sometime in June 1862, according to its handwritten caption. The canal-boat bridge was installed on May 3, 1862 but broken apart in a flood on June 4, so this view may depict a final phase of its reassembly. (John Hennessy has posted here about President Abraham Lincoln and his entourage crossing the bridge on May 23, 1862.)
Sure enough, the photograph turned out to offer a head-on view—at right angles to the river—that barely misses Building One (just outside the left edge) and Building Two (just outside the right edge) but does show everything in-between…including the configuration of background structures appearing behind and to the right of Building One in Waud's sketch.
Here's the canal-boat-bridge image, annotated to show some general landmarks: Berkeley Street/Rocky Lane, the elegant manor house of W. Roy Mason's "Sentry Box" estate, and part of a stone wall that bordered the upper lawn along the estate's river side:
Courtesy of Marc and Beth Storch. Used with permission.
And below are the specifics: side-by-side details of Waud's December 1862 mystery sketch and the June 1862 canal-boat-bridge photograph, showing the probable correlation of the four buildings in the sketch's right-background to actual structures. Note, too, the correlation of the trees:
From left to right, those four buildings are: a dwelling with a gambrel ("Dutch") roof and a north end-chimney that stood on the east side of Caroline Street until being demolished sometime prior to 1878 (probable close-up view, below right, in a sketch of the Federals looting in December 1862); the characteristically-narrow dwelling at number 130, which sports a south end-chimney and still stands on the west side of Caroline (May 1864 photo at below left); its duplex neighbor at 132-134 Caroline, also still extant; and what is perhaps the next (also surviving today) duplex, at 136-138 Caroline. Note that that duplexes also appear in the sketch of the December looting. Another post by John Hennessy discusses the full set of May 1864 photographs that depict the duplexes and their narrow neighbor-building.
To sketch this configuration of buildings, the center of Waud's depiction of the December 11, 1862 fighting would have been a line about where I've marked one on this detail of the 1867 Michler map (red line on map, below left). Buildings One and Two had vanished by time time the Michler map was surveyed, but it still represents the best Civil War-era documentation of the Middle Pontoon Crossing topography overall, on both sides of the river. My estimated location for Waud's sketching-position is indicated (red arrow, below right) on a detail of a photograph that looks in the opposite direction as the sketch and depictes the Union pontoon bridge built to connect the Stafford ferry-landing with the wharves in May 1864:
I devote considerable attention to Waud's sketch in part as a reminder that Fredericksburg's Battle of the Pontoons on December 11, 1862 involved fighting at places besides the Upper Pontoon Crossing. My interpretation of the sketch also suggests a more precise set of locations than we typically imagine for the combat at the Middle Pontoon Crossing that day.
For one, Waud's inclusion of the Middle Crossing pontoon bridge, albeit still unfinished, and in relation to Building One, indicates that the Federals centered their December 11 assault around a point on the wharves a full block south of the point (just upriver from the foot of Berkeley Street/Rocky Lane) implied by the Humphreys, Whipple, Griffin and Sykes map. Second, this reorientation suggests that Building One was in the late afternoon of December 11, 1862 the first major objective—or among the first—reached and seized by the 89th New York Infantry, which crossed the river after enemy fire thwarted further unsupported work by the Union engineers shown in Waud's sketch. (Building One may have shared the fate of the "old buildings on the outskirts of town dismantled to obtain materials" for the pontoon bridge established here in May 1864.)
On December 11, 1862, Colonel Harrison S. Fairchild, commander of the 89th New York, had
received an order from General Burnside, directing me to detail…4 officers and 100 men, to be sent over in pontoon boats…to take possession of the houses on either side of the landing….
I immediately detailed four detachments, of 25 men each…each detachment occupying a boat, with instruction to each to land, and take a given point…covered by the fire of the right wing [of the regiment, back on the Stafford riverbank] and batteries…. Each detachment took possession of the places designated, capturing in their charge 65 prisoners…and holding these positions until the bridge was completed.
Waud's application of "chinese white" watercolor (made from zinc-oxide pigment) to the penciled sketch gives us a vivid depiction of intense musketry. Note especially the smoke issuing from Building One and the area immediately to its front, and from along the gradual slope extending to the yard of the Sentry Box at the upper right corner of the sketch—musketry loosed by the 17th Mississippi Infantry upon the engineers.
Although some of the Federal infantry who later crossed the river, elsewhere that day, evidently found themselves in the welcome protection of steep or abrupt banks, Waud's sketch indicates that those soldiers from the 89th's 100-man task force who rowed across the Rappahannock at the Middle Crossing and then attacked over the broad, open shelf around Building One and up the gradual slope nearby found such terrain advantages scarce. Instead, their relatively low casualties (ten for the task force when all was said and done) may have been due to the effectiveness of the renewed Federal bombardment that covered their crossing–again, events occurring after those depicted in Waud's sketch.
In his report Col. Fairchild had also noted that the enemy occupied "the buildings, cellars, and stone wall opposite." Those portions of the Sentry Box's uppermost grounds nearest the river were indeed bordered by a stone wall. This, too, was likely high on the 89th New York's list of objectives, along with the Sentry Box buildings—attesting, incidentally, to the surprisingly broad and varied nature of Fredericksburg's collection of militarily significant stone walls.
Below, then, is my suggested then-and-now pairing of Waud's sketch of the December 11 fighting with a present-day view of the same site (adjusting somewhat for an abundance of modern vegetation):
The points from which the Federals built their Middle Pontoon Crossing bridge in December 1862, and in other years, and from which Waud created a classic of military art are preserved and open to the public as part of George Washington's Boyhood Home at Ferry Farm, by The George Washington Foundation. So by all means pay them a visit and enjoy the many layers of history there, including one of the more evocative but lesser-known places on the Fredericksburg battlefield.
Special thanks to David Muraca of the George Washington Foundation, for granting my 11th-hour request for modern photographs with his usual graciousness; Kerri Barile, Ph.D., of Dovetail Cultural Resource Group, for documentation of the Sentry Box stone wall—part of Dovetail's detailed study of the extraordinary history and resources of that estate; and to Marc and Beth Storch for permitting my use of their photograph.

Waud's work at Fredericksburg is exceedingly timely. He sketched the rebuilding of the railroad bridge in 1862 and either on April 29, or 30th sketched Franklin's crossing when it had three pontoon bridges to use to move the 6th corps across the Rappahannock river. It was on the night of the 30th, that the most southerly pontoon bridge was removed. This sketch allowed for more precise dating of Captain Russell, or Egbert Faux's images of Brooks Division. There is also a sketch of the exact location of Brooks Division with the Barnard house in the distance. This sketch confirms that the celebrated image of the troops in the defensive trench was photographed at Petersburg in either 1864, or 1865.

Excellent detective work Noel! You are the master of the craft. This goes to reenforce the strength of Waud as a reliable artist when he placed elements into a landscape.
This also affirms (and serves as a triangulation for your discovery) that the Waud sketch "Rebel Pickets dead, in Fredericksburg" shows the Gambrel Roof building at extreme left and the south end exposure of the Sentry Box, just visible beyond, looking through the fence where the man is standing looking at the bodies. At the far right across the river is the Ferry Farm side of the pontoon, just as you have now placed it. Bravo!

Guys, Thank you for reading and for the kind words. John K.: No question, using the sketches and photos in tandem is essential. Incidentally, to any interested reader who hasn't perused it, I would recommend Frederic E. Ray's 1974 book (reprinted 1994), "Our Special Artist: Alfred R. Waud's Civil War." This quotes several contemporary testimonials to Waud's personal courage, which obviously would have been essential at the Middle Pontoon Crossing through most of the day on December 11. Noel
Excellent work, Noel. Waud also continues to stand out as an outstanding observer, even under fire. Nice touch identifying another significant stone wall.
Frank C (Neil) Gorham
Fascinating. I wish I knew the town better. I'd really like to connect with someone I couldl hold a two-way conversation with. Any takers?
Frank, I'd be happy to field any historical inquiries you might have about the Fredericksburg area. Or recommend sources or source-people to address your areas of interest if those are outside my particular experience. Feel free to email me at: noel_harrison[at]nps.gov

PlayStation is skipping E3 for the first time ever in 2019
Nintendo and Microsoft will still be battling.

PlayStation will not be making an appearance at the next E3.
Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that PlayStation will not be attending the upcoming E3 show in 2019, Game Informer reported Thursday. Not only that, it won't even host an independent press conference around E3 -- something that Electronic Arts has done.
SEE ALSO: Reggie Fils-Aimé on 'Metroid Prime 4,' Nintendo sales, and his 'Smash' main
This will be PlayStation's first absence from E3 since the very first show in 1995.
The Entertainment Software Association announced its upcoming 2019 E3 show Thursday but made no mention of PlayStation in the press release circulated via email. In the press release, the ESA listed "the leading video game companies already committed to participating in E3 2019," which included Microsoft/Xbox, Nintendo, Activision, Bethesda, Capcom, Ubisoft, and a handful of other heavy-hitters that pretty much always make an appearance.
"As the industry evolves, Sony Interactive Entertainment continues to look for inventive opportunities to engage the community," the company told Game Informer. "PlayStation fans mean the world to us and we always want to innovate, think differently and experiment with new ways to delight gamers. As a result, we have decided not to participate in E3 in 2019. We are exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019 and can't wait to share our plans with you."
This statement seems to imply that PlayStation doesn't have enough new content to show off in June, and thus doesn't want to disappoint fans with a lackluster showcase.
The company outright said this in reference to its recent cancellation of its 2018 PlayStation Experience event. Shawn Layden, head of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios, said PlayStation "wouldn't have enough to bring people all together in some location in North America to have that event." It's likely that the situation with E3 is no different.
PlayStation's big tentpoles in 2018 were God of War and Spider-Man, two game of the year contenders, and while The Last of Us Part II and Days Gone are still on the way, having just two games to show off internally from the company would definitely be a letdown to fans who expect to see some new announcements every year.
Of course, this doesn't mean that games for PlayStation will not be at E3. There are plenty of third party developers working on PlayStation games like Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima.
As for what PlayStation will do in the future, the company is ambiguous, but it did mention that it will be "exploring new and familiar ways to engage our community in 2019" so there's still a possibility of something happening. We just don't know what.

I will make a few observations by permission. When I see so many of my brethren feeling a desire to go to the nations—to different parts of the earth, it truly is a cause of great rejoicing to my heart. When I read, occasionally, letters and communications that are published in the Millennial Star, in regard to the spread of the work among the different nations, it is a joy to me which is indescribable. And when I see the brethren going forth to the different nations, I almost feel as though I wanted to go to all these different places at the same time myself—to go with my brethren and be instrumental with you in trying to build up this kingdom among the nations. There is certainly no work in which the servants of God can be engaged that is so pleasing and joyful to the mind as to be engaged in the work of the holy ministry—in trying to persuade the honest in heart among the nations to receive the truth.
This generation have been calling a long time for miracles; but one of the greatest miracles in the last days, in my estimation, is the fact that scores and hundreds of the missionaries of the Latter-day Saints are traversing the globe, going from nation to nation, upon the principle that the ancient Apostles traveled—namely, without purse or scrip. Is not that a miracle? Has there any such thing happened before for many generations as people traveling over the whole earth, starting from their homes without purse or scrip? If you should go upon your own business, and the Lord had not a hand in the matter, it would be nine chances out of ten if you did not perish before you returned; and, perhaps, nine chances out of ten if you ever obtained means to accomplish your journey and pay your passage from place to place. But where is there an example of any faithful man in this Church, since the year 1830, that has gone forth trust ing in the Lord God of Israel, with mighty prayer, but what has been sustained, upheld, and preserved to return again in honor, unless he has fallen, perhaps, by sickness, or has died a martyr in testimony of the truth?
We find, then, that the Lord has actually wrought miracles in scores and hundreds of instances, in sustaining his servants among foreign nations—in foreign lands, where it would be almost impossible for people that were on their own business to have accomplished anything or to have traveled among them. What has the Lord said upon this subject? He commands us, in a revelation given September 22nd, 1832, as follows—"Therefore, let no man among you, for this commandment is unto all the faithful who are called of God in the Church unto the ministry, from this hour take purse or scrip, that goeth forth to proclaim this gospel of the kingdom." This was a command given twenty years ago this next September. Says one, That looks rather hard. It does not look hard at all; for that same God that gave the commandment is able to bear you up: he is able to sustain you. Perhaps this might have had reference, more particularly, to those who are actually in their fields of labor. This may be the case; for traveling to your field of labor is one thing, and laboring in it is another. There may actually be instances where an Elder is obliged, circumstances being such, to take some means to assist him until he shall arrive at his field of labor; but when he gets there, then depend upon the Lord God of Israel and the people to feed and sustain him. I am not going to say but what it will apply in traveling to the field of his labor. At any rate, I would not be afraid to trust the God of Israel to assist me in going to my field of labor, as well as to assist me after having arrived there.
What would be the best thing, then, for these Elders who are going forth? As a general thing, I would say to them, if you have any cash, leave it with your wives and children, to comfort their hearts, to support them in your absence, and be a blessing to them. And if you can get mules and horses to carry you from here to the States, when you get on the frontiers, sell them, and they will bring you in a little cash to carry through the mobocratic divisions of the country. [A voice in the stand: "Send that back."] The Lord will always provide some way to get along; and the faithful servant of God has nothing to fear, only his own weakness and his own imperfections and follies: these are the things he has to fear the most. If an Elder gets unfaithful when he is abroad, he is sometimes apt to get into strait places; but if he is diligent in prayer, in doing the work of the Lord, striving in faith to live humbly before him, setting a proper example before his brethren and the people among whom he labors, he will find that the Lord will bear him off victorious; his power will be upon him; and when he administers in the words of life it will be by the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit. When he administers in the ordinances of the Church, the blessings of Jehovah will follow. When he says to the sick, Be thou healed in the name of Jesus Christ, behold, it is done. When he commands, the lame will leap like a hart. The power of the Lord God of Israel will be made manifest through his faithful servants, and they have nothing to fear.
Brethren, I will prophesy that the power of the Lord God of Israel will be with you to a far greater extent than what has been poured out in days that are passed; and the way will be open before you, and the Lord will visit the hearts of the people before you arrive among them, and make manifest to them by visions and dreams that you are the servants of God, before they shall see your faces. And you will receive heavenly visions to comfort you, and dreams to give you knowledge of the things of God, if you prove faithful before him. I will prophesy this in the name of the Lord God of Israel; and you will find that his power will be more conspicuously made manifest through your administrations on these missions than has ever taken place since the rise of this Church.
How often have I reflected upon the words of the Savior, which were given expressly to his servants: they were not given to the whole Church, but to his servants who were engaged in the work of the ministry. He said, "Take no thought for the morrow, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed. Consider the lilies of the field: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet Solomon, or the kings of this world, are not arrayed like one of these. And if God so clothe the grass, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more shall he clothe you, if you are not of little faith. Therefore, take no thought for these things." You will find, brethren, if you go forth trusting in the Lord, that whatever you need, it will be ministered to you in the very moment; and you will return again with your hearts filled with joy, and your bodies comfortably clothed, and means in your pockets to assist your families when you return to them, and with souls as seals to your ministry, with whom you shall rejoice in time and in eternity.
I have oftentimes thought of another saying in the Book of Mormon, concerning the parable of the vineyard, delivered by one of the ancient Prophets. He said that "The servants of God shall go forth and labor for the last time;" and the prophecy says, "Behold, they were few, and the Lord labored with them." Among all the servants that had labored in previous dispensations, the parable does not condescend to say that the Lord labored with them, although he no doubt did. But here it is expressly said that the laborers were few, and the Lord labored with them. And after the vineyard was pruned, and was no more corrupt, he called up his servants and said, Behold, you see I have done according to my will, and ye shall have joy with me in the fruit of my vineyard. This truly seems to be characteristic of the way and manner this Gospel is going to the nations. It does not go according to the will of man, neither according to his inferior judgment, but according to the will of God. It breaks forth on the right hand and on the left, and the servants of God are sent forth by his will and authority; and if they are faithful, he has ordained them to labor in his vineyard; and the prophecy says, They will be faithful, and they shall keep the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things.
Try to have this prophecy fulfilled upon your heads. Keep the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things, that his blessings may be upon you, that when you set to your hands with the pruning-knife, to prune and train up the branches of the trees of the vineyard, and dig around their roots, the power of the everlasting God may rest upon you and the vineyard where you labor. Keep the commandments of the Lord in all things, that you may have joy with him in the fruits of the vineyard when the work is finished. May he bless you as he did Abraham and his servants of old, that you may do the work he has appointed to you in faith, and prayer, and perseverance, that you may bring home your thousands and rejoice in the midst of the mountains.
