Fan Foel (Fan Foel, Y Mynydd Du) (Cairn(s)) on The Modern Antiquarian, the UK & Ireland's most popular megalithic community website. 1 news item, 40 images, 3 fieldnotes, plus information on many more ancient sites nearby and across the UK & Ireland.
Archaeologists examining a Bronze Age burial mound on the Black Mountain in Carmarthenshire found meadowsweet pollen grains.
The route from Picws Du to the next cairn, on Fan Foel, is easy enough but includes a fairly steep up-and-down, via Bwlch Blaen-Twrch ("pass of the boar's summit"). Once negotiated, there is a fine high-level retrospective view of Picws Du summit before we head over to the magnificent cairn placed right at the apex of the escarpment, the point where Carmarthenshire meets Powys/Brecknockshire.
Was this always a territorial marker? If it was, it's a high place for the people of power to agree upon their frontier. And perhaps such a person was laid to rest here, interred within a sizeable kerb of red sandstone blocks. If he or she were the monarch of all they surveyed, they certainly ruled over a far-reaching territory, for the views are extensive indeed, stretching eastwards to the twin summits of Pen-y-Fan and Corn Du then further away to the Black Mountains, with many other cairned summits in between. And yet the archaeological record reveals perhaps something rather more intriguing and human than a story of powerful warriors. A child was buried here, possibly garlanded with meadowsweet flowers. If only these stones and mountains would share the memory of that little sliver of history, what a tale they might tell.
This cairn is ignored by many walkers, hurrying between the "tops" of Piws Du and Twr y Fan Foel/Fan Brycheiniog. But sadly enough come here to cause damage to the structure, which is what prompted the excavation and exposure of the magnificent kerb and half-buried cist. Probably the best of cairns on the main escarpment of Y Mynydd Du, this place will richly reward any TMAer making the trip.
Leaving the ramblers behind at Twr y Fan Foel (5.6.2010), I headed the short distance north to this cairn. Fan Foel is not a recognised "summit" and as such is often bypassed by walkers on their way on to Picws Du. Which is great, because it makes for a quiet and peaceful spot, with amazing views wherever you care to look, especially if you drop down a little off the top to the north-west, where you will be rewarded with a nice view of the folklore-heavy Llyn y Fan Fach.
The cairn itself has been excavated in recent times, meaning there's no modern walkers' cairn (thankfully) and you get a great cross-section view. The cairn has a full kerb, and there are the remains of a cist in the centre. Although the mound itself has gone, this is actually a very evocative place, as the kerb makes for a sort-of-stone-circle feel. Definitely a recommended visit, one of the more interesting summit cairns in this part of Wales in my opinion.
But time and buses wait for no man, so after a quick return to Twr y Fan Foel, it's down the steep "stair" to Llyn y Fan Fawr and then eastwards to Waun Leuci. Top stuff.
I first came to this magnificent mountain escarpment way back in 1993, looking, believe it or not, for The Llyn Fawr (the lake above The Rhondda, that is). Incredibly naive, perhaps, but I got away with it.... and my sense of awe has not diminished with time. Nor has my respect for the inclement Welsh weather!
The latest ascent is made in the company of The Mam Cymru, my sister. Not too canny with map or compass, it has to be said, but a dab hand with anything to do with the soil. And besides, everyone knows women can't read maps and men can't walk and look around at the same time. It's Nature, see.
...the Maen Mawr and Y Cerrig Duon also visible on the right-hand skyline.... a good place to chill out on the descent. For now, simply follow that stream (!), the landscape becoming more and more brutal until, after several 'false crests', lakeside is attained at 2,000ft, the elegant escarpment of the mountain towering above to your left. Perhaps my favourite upland lake, it's tempting to call it a day here at this exquisite spot. But.... the call is unspoken, never unheard. There's round barrows in them thar hills.
A 'rocky staircase' at the southern end of the lake provides a steep, but safe passage to Bwlch y Giedd and the crest of the ridge above. Turn right here and the OS trig point and 'circular shelter' of Ban Brycheiniog is soon reached. Unfortunately there is no prehistoric cairn upon this summit, 'courtesy', no doubt, of the aforementioned shelter and the muppets who built it. I mean, who would want to cower in a shelter when the view down to Llyn-y-Fan-Fawr is simply magnificent? Ha! Moving on along the escarpment edge, any feeling of indignation is soon alleviated upon reaching the vertigo-inducing buttress of Twr-y-Fan Foel, for this is crowned by an apparently undisturbed Bronze Age round barrow [see misc post]. The siting is amazing, it really is.
The second cairn lies upon the summit of 2,575ft Fan Foel itself. Subject to an excavation in 2004, the finds were somewhat interesting, to say the least. Please see the miscellaneous post and Rhiannon's link for details, but suffice to say it appears Bronze Age people certainly knew how to 'say it with flowers'. To stand here is deeply moving and makes a mockery of the 'R*mans brought us civilisation' dogma I was taught in school. Honestly, does anyone actually still believe that rubbish? My informed guess would be 'yes'. Looking west, Picws Du, adorned by it's own Bronze Age cairn, towers above the waters of the magnificent Llyn-y-Fan-Fach. Strong walkers can visit the peak from here, but I'm afraid those days are past for Gladman..... [Incidentally several 'circles are to be found to the north of Fan Foel, not forgetting the wonderful pair beyond the Usk Reservoir].
Perhaps the most significant aspect of a visit to this wonderful spot, however, is the 'big picture' it conveys of South Walian Bronze Age burial practice. To clarify, glance to the east, across Llyn-y-Fan-Fawr to Waun Leuci, Fan Gyhirych, Fan Nedd, Fan Frynych, The Brecon Beacons, The Black Mountains - a linear procession of burial cairns literally as far as the eye can see; then to the west, the two great cairns upon Garreg Las beyond the aforementioned Picws Du, with examples upon Garreg Lwyd, Carn Pen-y-Clogau...etc.. fading to the horizon. Clearly there was something very serious and widespread going on here... Hell yeah!


News Corp.'s Joel Klein Testy About News Corp.
Former New York City school chancellor Joel Klein doesn't seem to be especially happy to take questions these days about his unpopular employer, News Corp., the parent company of Fox News. Klein is in San Francisco today at an education reform conference sponsored by Jeb Bush and his nonprofit Excellence in Education, where he's a member of the board. Klein's boss, Rupert Murdoch, is slated to speak tomorrow morning, and his presence at the education event has caused quite a stir. The local teachers' union is organizing a rally for this afternoon and more protests are expected tomorrow when Murdoch shows up.
While Klein may be here because of his ed credentials, he's currently in charge of overseeing the internal investigation of News Corp.'s now-shuttered News of the World over the British phone-hacking scandal, and even accompanied Murdoch to his appearance before the British parliament. So Klein's also here as a Murdoch guy, and the two roles aren't meshing too well. I caught up with Klein in the swanky ballroom of the Palace Hotel, where he was milling around with state legislators and other ed reform types. I asked him how he felt about the fact that the presence of his boss was generating protests, and he was extremely prickly in response. "Whatever people want to protest they can protest. I'm here to talk about education," he said.

It's easy to think that contemporary events are gamechangers. How many times have we heard some crisis as the "defining moment" of Roden's presidency, or any battle as a "tipping point" in a broader war? And when you look back a few months or years later, you see that these events were nothing of the sort. It's natural to think that the most recent events are the most important. But in most cases, events – even ones that at the time seem monumentally important (pun is very much intended) – are mere drops in the ocean of human history. It is rare indeed that an event actually bends the course of human events. It's almost impossible for most people to objectively determine the effects that any one incident will have until we've had a chance to move on. In fact, it's precisely that reason that most historians try not to look at modern events that closely, until time has passed, passions have cooled, and the repercussions have made themselves more verifiably known, leaving it to the more pedestrian punditry to give the who, what, where, and why of modern events.
The ruined remains of an Avatar-class Titan
Even with all of this in mind, I find it hard to look back at the now infamous battle in B-R5BR and see it as anything short of historic. This was not the first time that a capsuleer alliance had neglected to pay its bills to CONCORD, nor was it the first time that a tiny mistake led to a massive battle. The battle of B-R5RB doesn't even come close to the record of largest naval engagement. Both Pandemic Legion and the CFC have fielded more ships in a battle and more pilots have lost ships before. But what makes this battle different, beyond the sheer amount of isk lost, is the effect it has had on the general public. Never before has the general public's imagination been captured so much as the day that the titans began to fall. While there have always been niche news sites dedicated to covering capsuleer goings on, for the first time, mainstream media have started to look to the skies. New pilots are flocking to capsuleer training centers in record numbers, flooding the spacelanes with new opportunities and new fodder alike.
The sheer amount of tonnage destroyed here is staggering
CONCORD, to its credit, has moved quickly to memorialize the battle site. Within days, the often slow-acting agency declared the system a place of historic significance, and acted to preserve the wrecks so they don't decay away in the harshness of space. What's left is a stunning, haunting (or, should I say spooky?) tribute to this very literal clash of the titans. To some, it's a tribute to the victory of the CFC; to others, it's the gravesite to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of crew aboard the various ships. Whatever its meaning to you, this heretofore unknown cul-de-sac system has attained a new place of prominence in the interstellar consciousness, and its newfound memorial will ensure that it remains so long after the pundits have stopped their prognosticating on its meaning. Of course, the quieting of the punditry won't keep Aura from becoming rather existentialist on us:
You are entering the graveyard of Titans, a silent memorial to one of the grandest, most violent, most cataclysmic battles New Eden has ever borne witness to. Halt your ship, capsuleer, and take a moment out of the mad swirl of your life to ponder your own impending deaths.
The beacon that CONCORD has placed on the site is a bit more on-point and a bit less poetic than Aura:
Here lie the wrecks of monstrous ships, commemorating a battle that blotted out the sky on Jan 27-28 in YC 116.
Two coalitions of capsuleers clashed in vessels numbering in the thousands, causing destruction on a scale of war never before seen by human eyes. CONCORD elected – after advising with the various empires – to leave a few wrecks left on the field for all spacefarers to see. Ostensibly this was a warning of capsuleers to where their folly would lead them, but those who've encountered the immortals will know it was more likely taken as an ideal of death and destruction to which they can aspire from now until the end of time.
Some ships are still very recognizable. Others are less so.
As your view adjusts after warping through B-R5RB VIII, one of the first things you'll notice is the bright gray of the temple that CONCORD's erected on the site (why the temple is already battered-looking and worn is another discussion entirely). Examining the temple closely will reveal a list of all the pilots that lost a Titan in the battle. As your eyes adjust, however, you'll notice a number of hulking, looming shadows surrounding on all sides. These shadows eventually clarify into the hulking shapes of shattered ships. Surrounding you are ships from all four empires, torn apart by the massive forces brought down upon them in the battle. Fires still glow from the interior, and possibly will continue to do so for years (especially if the ships were Caldari built). Each wreck is surrounded by a cloud of debris, which is especially dense near the site of the hull fractures where these gigantic ships finally cracked. Each of them dwarfed Scientia and its small crew.
Twisted girders can be found at the site of the superstructure's failure
To the left, ships blot out an appropriately blood-red star. To the right, now-nameless titan wrecks, worth billions of isk and with thousands of lives lost on each of them, gently tumble through space against the green backdrop of the Immensea nebula. And all around, there is an eerie quiet. The stark stillness of the scene stands in sharp contrast to the ferocity of the battle that took place here just days before.
Shadows of B-R5RB
Am I wrong to think that this battle was different from the countless others that have happened over the years in New Eden? Have even my amateur historian's eyes been clouded by the media coverage and the endless echo chamber that has come out of this battle? After all, this will hardly be the last time that B-R5RB will change hands. PL has already finished reimbursing its pilots for the ships lost in the battle. Other battles will rage, breaking this record or that. Only time will tell of the grander effect, if any, of this battle. But for now, for once, more eyes are focused on the stars. For now, the happenings of New Eden are drawing the attention of the broader masses. And for now, at least, B-R5RB certainly seems like a gamechanger. And even if it isn't, at least this monument will help us remember the day that the titans fell.
Attraction: Titanomachy
System: B-R5RB
Region: Immensea
Potential Hazards: B-R5RB is deep in 0.0 space, involving jumps across a number of different alliance territories, many of which may be operating under "Not Blue, Shoot It" protocol. Gate camps (including warp interdiction bubbles) can be found often in transitioning from 0.0 to high security space, as well as on other gates. Caution is advised.

…especially if the ships were Caldari built…
Very funny, I remember thinking about the endless fires that when I visited the station 🙂

Great report. Hazard warning is well advised but well worth visiting. Here's a small video I made to try and capture the "stark stillness" you talk about:
Just letting u know, there is no crew on the ships. Just one capsuler per ship. Now if this was like star trek and all the ships needed crew to opperate each station, we would have a fun game.
Actually, it's well established in the lore that crews DO exist on almost all ships (the exception being a shuttle or frigate). While capsuleers ships certainly do have lower crew requirements, due to the streamlining that a pod pilot can achieve with fewer command and control personnel, the ships very much have crews on them. We don't really interact with them from a gameplay standpoint (and basically assume that they will carry out our orders without question), but they are definitely there. It'd be hard to do most things without at least some crew to supervise repairs and make sure things are functioning properly 😀
Capsuleer titans, for example, have a minimum crew requirement of about 3000 to 6000 crew members. While ship automation does vary from race to race, eliminating all crew on a ship is nearly impossible for anything bigger than a frigate. For crew breakdowns per ship class, see here: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/New_Eden_crew_guidelines

We don't have a fun game already? Lore fail aside, you might want to check out the Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator. Star Trek bridge crew in all but name for you and a couple friends.
I ADORE Artemis, though I've only had the chance to play it a few times. It's like Bridge Commander (RIP that game) but with friends!

HeliRussia 2021: Rosoboronexport invites representatives from over 50 countries
May 21, 2021 - Updated on May 22, 2022
Rosoboronexport JSC (part of the Rostec State Corporation) has invited representatives of different levels from more than 50 countries to the 14th International Helicopter Industry Exhibition (HeliRussia 2021), which will be held from 20 to 22 May 2021 at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow.
"Today, Russian helicopter developers and manufacturers readily meet the needs of both domestic and foreign customers, including through military-technical cooperation. Over the last 10 years alone, Rosoboronexport has offered and successfully delivered more than 850 helicopters worth about $20 billion to more than 35 countries," Rosoboronexport Director General Alexander Mikheev said.
"Modernization of proven helicopters in response to market demand and the introduction of new helicopter models create favorable conditions to promote Russian high-tech products abroad and enter new markets."

During HeliRussia 2021, Rosoboronexport will offer its partners, as well as potential new customers, Russian helicopters suitable for meeting a wide range of challenges in various physical, geographical and climatic conditions.
Various military helicopters, as well as a number of civilian models, which can also be delivered through Rosoboronexport, will be on display at the Company's stand and at the manufacturers' stands.
At its stand, Rosoboronexport will showcase a scaled model of the Ka-52 scout/attack helicopter, a leader among attack helicopters, which has proven its high capabilities and performance in actual combat during the Russian Air Force's anti-terrorist operation in Syria.
The Ka-52, equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and powerful weapons, is fully compliant with the reconnaissance-strike warfare concept, combining the functions of attack, reconnaissance and command helicopters.
The Ka-52 is the world's only helicopter equipped with an ejection escape system.
This helicopter has excellent flight performance and, thanks to its coaxial rotor system, can perform new types of maneuver, including "funnel" and "flat turn", thus enabling it to highly effectively engage moving targets in their least protected areas. The Ka-52 is the world's only helicopter equipped with an ejection escape system.
"In the near future, we and our foreign partners expect the launch of an upgraded version of the Ka-52, which is being developed by Russian Helicopters, to the world market," Alexander Mikheev said.
Traditionally, visitors to Rosoboronexport's stand will also be able to get acquainted with scaled models of the Mi-35M transport/attack helicopter and the Mi-17V-5 military transport helicopter, which are among the most popular with foreign customers, including due to their easy maintenance, high reliability and mission flexibility.
The Mi-17V-5 is currently the most popular among the Russian military helicopters delivered abroad.
"Owing to its combat and operational characteristics, the Mi-17V-5 is currently the most popular among the Russian military helicopters delivered abroad over the past decade. Rosoboronexport has delivered more than 270 these flying machines to foreign customers," said Alexander Mikheev.
Upgraded Mi-28NE attack helicopter
In addition to effectively performing fire missions, the Mi-35M helicopter is the world's only multipurpose attack helicopter capable of transporting up to 8 troops with weapons, up to 1,500 kg of ammunition or other cargo inside the cargo cabin, as well as up to 2,400 kg on external sling, and evacuating casualties.
During the exhibition, Rosoboronexport is ready to provide detailed information about all new Russian helicopter models being promoted to the external market, including: the upgraded Mi-28NE attack helicopter, equipped with the latest guided missile systems and equipment to communicate with UAVs, allowing the helicopter to enhance its capabilities for engaging enemy targets covered by air defenses; the upgraded Mi-171SH helicopter to support special forces units; the upgraded Mi-35P transport/attack helicopter; and the new Mi-38T medium assault/transport helicopter.
Ansat helicopter
Rosoboronexport will also provide advertising materials for the Mi-26T2 heavy-lift helicopter which has the highest load-carrying capacity among all existing helicopters in the world, the upgraded Ka-32A11M multi-purpose helicopter, and the Ka-226T and Ansat light multi-purpose helicopters. These helicopters can be effectively used by both civil ministries, departments or private companies and law enforcement agencies. They are equipped with modern on-board equipment to meet the increasing customers' requirements and needs.
The new Mi-38T medium assault/transport helicopter.
In addition to helicopters, Rosoboronexport will present a wide range of unmanned aircraft systems with Russian-made UAVs for export.
During the exhibition, the Company is ready to discuss with representatives of partner countries both the supply of final Russian-made products, as well as technology partnership issues, the construction of service and training centers for training flight and maintenance personnel.

Is Competition Counterproductive?
A timely question when Apple introduces the Apple Watch.
Multi-entrepreneur Bill Gross narrated on his Twitter account the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference recently held in San Francisco.
The speaker's statement that interested me most was, no big surprise, made by Peter Thiel. The latter was one of the co-founders of PayPal and the first outside investor in Facebook. A multidisciplinary genius, billionaire, libertarian, visionary and philanthropist, he is, at 46, one of the most respected figures of Silicon Valley.
Peter Thiel – (CC) Dan Taylor-126
Peter Thiel explained, "competition is over-rated. It enables you to get better at something narrow, but you might miss the big picture."
Indeed, being too focused on our competition reduces the range of possibilities to the scope of our competitors' business. We tend to challenge them on their strategy and operations – and, in doing so, we improve in the relevant field. But such an approach obscures other business opportunities that a broader vision would reveal.
The most visionary leaders do not copy their competitors' game plan. They invent new strategies and navigate uncharted waters. This is what Steve Jobs did at Apple and that's the challenge that Tim Cook faces today: Not beating the competition at their own game, but changing the entire game for his company's benefit.

Project Abstract: The Canada France Hawai'i Telescope (CFHT) has been in operation since 1979 and is currently investigating upgrading its optics and dome enclosure from a 3.6-meter optical/infrared telescope to a 10-meter class telescope. An accurate computer automated drawing in SolidWorks of the lower cement and steel structure of the current CFHT observatory is needed as the foundation for all future engineering work. The purpose of this project was to create an accurate model of the existing observatory building and its features for the engineers working on the new remodeled design of the CFHT to give a greater idea of new instrument fitment and possible design constraints as well as a model on which to base FEA studies. An accurate model of the observatory was created by converting a current semi-complete Autodesk Inventor model into SolidWorks and matching it to the existing architectural drawings along with measurements taken from the as-built structure. Because some of the features that exist in the current observatory building do not match the architectural drawing, many of them needed to be checked and documented in-person on the summit in order to ensure an accurate representation of the observatory building. This model will be used as the core structural component in the final design of the Mauna Kea Spectroscopic Explorer, which will be a 10-meter class telescope designed to take around 7 million spectra each year to excel at galactic archaeology of the Milky Way.


To completely make over a large back garden removing everything and replacing it with new turf, paving slabs, adding steps and building a raised area for a hot tub to be placed on. This took 10 days to complete.
On the day that the project was started we turned up at the time that was agreed by ourselves and our customer and we would continue to turn up at this time for the next 10 days. We had already made a project plan and discussed previously with the customer what they wanted us to do with their garden.
We brought all the necessary machinery and equipment with us that would be needed throughout this job. We used diggers and earth movers and these were moved away from the property when they were no longer needed.
Again we went through exactly what we were going to do and gave some more advice on all the options that was possible for the customer's garden. Its always possible to tweak / change plans as the project unfolds and develops and this project was no different as the client had additional ideas / requests that we catered to once the project had started.
We were asked to remove all the shrubs that were over grown and not required anymore. There was one shrub in particular that was re-planted in a more desirable place on the request of the customer. Any rubbish was also removed by ourselves away from the property.
We showed a customer a brochure with all the kind of paving slabs they could go choose for their patio areas. We recommended Bradstone Riven Sandstone to the customer which they liked and agree to have. These were ordered and then delivered the next day by a local company that we use on a regular basis.
Next we used a digger to excavate the whole garden. This took 2 days to complete leaving us with a blank canvas to work with.
We had to reduce the level of the garden in certain places as the customer asked for a split patio. We did keep some of the soil so that we could use it for the turfed area.
As the levels reduced gradually, we had to remove some of the fence panels but these were to be re-instated once we had finished.
The base for the paving was made up with lean mix and then was laid evenly. The paving was then laid on top of this, cutting slabs to fit into the spaces where needed.
The brickwork was then prepared so that a brick wall could be built creating the raised area which was also then paved with paving slabs. The walling was created using a dog tooth pattern making it a good feature. Steps were incorporated into the design making it easier to step down from the raised area.
After the completion of the paving and the walls the lawn area was then levelled out where the turf was to be laid. The soil that we saved earlier was imported to this area. Again this was levelled off making the area completely flat. Top quality Rolawn turf was then laid over the new fine soil.
The patio area was then pointed using Marshall jointing compound (resin). The resin colour was buff sand which is one of currently 5 colours available and selected by the customer. The patio area was hosed down with water while after this was done. All fence panels that were removed were then re-installed with new ones.
We would work through all weather conditions including heavy rain. We would tidy up every night when we were finished and this would include the drainage on the driveway, we would leave the garden as we found it. Clean and tidy.

History: This unique historical estate with a classical manor, Rothenhoff, has a long and rich history. It was mentioned for the first time in 1230. It was one of the court estates of the bishops of Minden and became the property of the Electorate of Brandenburg when the Duchy of Minden was dissolved. After the end of the Thirty Years' War, the estate was given to a Swedish envoy in order to obtain Swedish approval for the transfer of the Duchy of Minden to Brandenburg. This donation was canceled in 1666. Under Napoleon, Rothenhoff became an imperial French domain; it was given to the French General de la Houssay, who was successful at Jena and Auerstedt. French marines under General Prince Eckmühl made quarters here for a short time. After Prussia had sold the estate to a Bremen merchant in 1822, it became a manor through the purchase of land in 1848 and the owner, Caesar zu Rothenhoff, became a member of the Prussian manor house. This was the father of Sophie Henschel. The farm buildings and the manor house date from the time of the Bremen merchant family Cäsar, who owned the estate from 1822 to 1915. Sophie Henschel, née Caesar, was considered one of the richest women in the German Empire. From 1945 to 1954, the Rothenhoff manor was used as the site of the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army on the Rhine. Prominent guests at this time included Princess Margaret and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as well as Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Since the beginning of the 20th century there has been intensive gravel mining on the formerly agriculturally used areas. Because of the progressive gravel deposition, the agricultural land and facilities were sold and leased to farmers in the area in 1971; the manor house and the park are used privately. The parts of the park north of the mansion no longer exist. The park to the east of the house has largely retained its character. To the south, the park is closed by a wall, to the east and north it merges into agricultural areas, bounded by hedges. The mansion and the park are in good condition thanks to the owner's initiative. The land is now used for as a hobby farm, recreational ranch, and horse ranch. Description: Gut Rothenhoff covers an area of approx. 70 hectares, consisting of a manor house with approx. 1.200m² or almost 13,000 sq. ft. of living space and a garden laid out in the style of an English park, various stables and halls, a granary, an administrator's house, an ebb and flow riding arena, and other outbuildings. In 1863, the mansion, a late classical building in the style of an Italian villa, was converted into a 2.5-story building. The property offers a unique, secluded location with a view of the landmarks of the region (Hermannsdenkmal) and is characterized by the agriculturally protected surroundings and the historical building fabric. The manor house is currently in a partially renovated condition. Most of the modernization measures, especially the technical trades, have already been completed. Detailed documentation on the renovation status and the work already carried out, including investment volume and costs, can be happily provided

A bigger bite of the Big Apple
Michael Schwartz July 7, 2011 1
One of Richmond's biggest law firms has absorbed a New York firm, and it's hungry for more.
LeClairRyan on Wednesday merged Biedermann, Reif, Hoenig & Ruff into its fold in a deal that will add 14 attorneys and a book of European clients to the downtown-based firm.
Gary LeClair, LeClairRyan's chairman and CEO, said he and another of the firm's executives are traveling nonstop, looking for similar deals.
"A couple of us are living on planes, trying to expand the reach of the firm," LeClair said.
"I think you're going to see over the next couple of years us announcing new offices," he said. "We need to expand our geographic reach."
The firm has its sights set on expansion into Florida, Texas, the Midwest and elsewhere, LeClair said.
Before the year is out, LeClairRyan will talk to up to 50 other law firms across the country for potentials mergers.
"It's well known in the industry now that we are inquisitive," LeClair said. "All of the headhunters out there know who's buying, and we're known as a buyer right now. So our phone rings."
The Biedermann merger is the second addition of lawyers for LeClairRyan in the past six months. The firm opened an office in Rochester, N.Y., on Dec. 31 and lured 35 attorneys away from a larger competitor there.
LeClairRyan now has 340 attorneys and 21 offices across the United States.
The Biedermann deal will give it 55 employees and two offices in New York City — at least for now.
The attorneys coming from Biedermann handle litigation for multinational companies that do business in the U.S. and Europe.
Biedermann's New York office is about a block away from LeClair's office there on Third Avenue, and the two will eventually consolidate, LeClair said.
No money is technically exchanged in the merger. Shareholders of Biedermann will become shareholders of LeClairRyan, LeClair said.
He said that his firm doesn't release revenue figures but that 2010 was its biggest year ever.

Congratulations to Gary and all the partners and employees at LeClaireRyan.

Have you ever thought something quite easy, told someone else about it, then been baffled as they find difficulty in doing it or just argued that they could not do it.
The problem lies in the way we decide. While the most accurate way is to seek facts and understand chains of cause and effect, in practice much of our decision-making is based in emotion. In fact the final choice always has some emotional content.
A confounding factor here is that our need to appear reasonable means we like to explain our actions (to ourselves too). So when we make a decision based on emotion we have to back-fill our reasoning, which can lead to some pretty strange-sounding rationales.
We also need to feel capable and in control. No matter how easy someone else says a task is, if we hold even the slightest fear we may fail, then we convince ourselves that the task is not that easy, and should either be put off or ignored altogether.


TheStreet may have been focused on top-line shortfalls, but beyond the headline numbers, American Express (Amex) posted results for the second quarter that showed double-digit percentage growth across a number of key metrics, including card-billed business and the company's lending business. The headline numbers, then: Total revenues gained 9 percent to $10 billion, just shy — by $50 million — of Street expectations. The earnings per share came in at $1.84, which led the Street by two pennies.
It should be no surprise that the top line saw tailwinds from consumer spending, and corporate spending, too. Card-billed business — which is a reflection of card activity, including cash advances — gained an overall 10 percent year on year to $296.5 billion. Within that tally, the U.S. was $195.4 billion.
Total cards in force, company-wide, stood at 114 million at the end of the latest quarter. The mix was, well, mixed. Outside the U.S., the 62.4 million cards in the field, so to speak, were off 1 percent year on year. The U.S., by contrast, saw cards in force gain 6 percent over the same period.
Cardholder spend remained healthy across the board. The average spend was up 5 percent year over year to a bit more than $4,800 in the quarter. The international stage saw double-digit growth of 13 percent to an average spend of about $3,900 per member.
It has been noted in this space before that loans are a continuing focus for Amex. The loan book outpaced some of the more traditional card metrics. The U.S. loan volume came in at $66 billion in the quarter, up 13 percent year on year. Though the international lending activity was relatively smaller, the number came in at $9.1 billion, growing faster by comparison at 21 percent.
Supplemental materials offered by Amex —in tandem with results — show that, in the lending business, reserves came in at 2.4 percent of loans, up from 2 percent last year.


How to dye eggs with old silk ties or shirts!
If you need more ideas, be sure and follow our Easter Pinterest Board.
Each year we let the kids dye eggs for Easter, but we try and do something unique each year. Did you know you can dye eggs with silk? It seems kinda fancy, but is actually really easy and gives the eggs a beautiful pattern. No two will ever be the same. They are so pretty you might want to blow out your eggs first and just dye the shell so you can display them all month.
You will need 100% silk in order for this to work. Below I talk about the best places to get silk if you don't have some hanging in your closet. You can get them for cheap so do not cut up your expensive stuff, Dad might not be to happy if he comes home to find his favorite ties chopped up in the middle of the kitchen. BUT I bet if you ask, there is a good chance he has some old ties that are stained up or getting a little fuzzy and would be perfect for this project.
Start by taking your tie apart. You will need to take out the filler fabric and just use the silk. Once you open it up there will be enough silk to wrap about 3 eggs. Small to medium eggs work best for this project since the width of the tie is not very wide.
You want to put the egg on the "right" side of the fabric or the side you see, this will have the less shiny side on the outside. You want to wrap it as tight as possible, the fabric has to make contact with the egg in order to transfer. You can use cotton string or rubber bands to tie it at the top. I take a few extra rubber bands and wrap the egg too, in an effort to get the fabric as close to the egg as I can.
You will need to then wrap the egg a second time with white cotton fabric. This keeps the color from bleeding from one egg to another. It also helps the silk stay tight and not shift so much. Add eggs gently to a pan of boiling water. Add 1 cup of white vinegar to the water too. This helps the colors transfer! Boil for 20-30 minutes. The longer they boil the brighter the colors tend to be.
Take them out of the boiling water (careful they will be HOT). You can allow them to cool on their own, or run them under cold water if you are in a hurry. Take off the rubber bands and fabric and see the beautiful patterns that have transferred to the eggs. I do recommend only doing a few eggs in each pot, and try and keep darker colors away from lighter colors. Some fabrics will bleed, which will make your colors kind of look "muddy".
If you do not have silk ties or silk shirts, head to your local 2nd hand store. Just look for tags that say 100% silk. I was able to find a bunch of "ugly ties" for $1 at my local Dessert Industries. Some of their nicer ties are $3-$4 but if you dig you can find a bunch for $1. I looked in the men's shirts and found several island themed 100% silk shirts for $3 which would give me enough fabric to do about 25 eggs. So the shirt was a better investment.
You can use the same piece of silk to dye different eggs over and over. Each time it will get a little lighter, but we have used the same piece up to 5 times. Some silk works better than others, but you can almost always get at least 2 dyes out of one piece.
Since we do not know what kind of dye was used to dye the fabric these eggs are more for decoration instead of eating.
How to peel an egg in less than 5 seconds with a glass jar.
I've done this. Works great, just not sure you should eat the eggs afterwards.
What a creative idea. My kids will dig it. Thank you.
Thank you, I love how they turned out!
This is amazing! Now I can put my husband's old ties to use! Thanks!
I wonder if my husband would let me use some of his old ties! I'll probably just hit up a local thrift store instead though.
I love this idea! So pretty.
Shared to Just Plain Marie!
This is so cute! What a cool idea!
Fun project! I love I could get rid of some of my husband's old ties too!
Wow!! I didn't know you could do this! I'm going to have to check out the thrift store to see what I can find!
It seems impossible to get that dye off hands, I could imagine trying to get it out of carpets.
It was fun the kids loved it!
I want to try to do something different with the kids, so I might try this!
Love these patterns, so pretty! And it look like less of a mess, than traditional egg dying. Thanks for posting!
Time to clean out those ties with stains on them. Looks like a fun thing to do!

Urban Wilds program
Urban wilds are an essential part of the City's open space system. They play an important role in Boston by lessening the impacts of climate change.
Urban Wilds by neighborhood
Boston's natural landscape once looked very different than it does today. Salt marshes covered most of East Boston and lined Dorchester's shoreline. Meadows dotted the hilltops of Roxbury. Pristine streams flowed through Hyde Park and West Roxbury. Over time, urbanization and human activity altered Boston's natural landscape. Pieces of these ecosystems still exist throughout the City and offer a glimpse into the natural world. These areas are known as urban wilds.

Benefits of urban wilds
The City of Boston manages and takes care of 29 urban wilds across our neighborhoods. These urban wilds offer a peaceful break from Boston's urban environment. They serve as outdoor classrooms for children and adults to learn about nature and provide habitat to native plants and animals. Additionally, urban wilds perform many ecological services, such as:
storing floodwater;
filtering stormwater run-off;
producing oxygen; and
reducing the "urban heat island" effect.
The goals of the Urban Wilds Initiative are to:
protect City-owned urban wilds and other natural areas from threats such as development, encroachment, and other uses that may harm their natural character;
manage and maintain City-owned urban wilds and other natural areas to preserve their ecological value;
promote conservation, passive recreation, environmental education, and other similar uses at City-owned urban wilds;
develop administrative, fiscal, and programmatic resources to ensure ongoing, long-term maintenance and management of City-owned urban wilds and other natural areas; and
advocate for the long-term protection and stewardship of other urban wilds and natural areas that are not currently owned by the City.

Urban Wild Rules
On April 20, 2022, the Boston Conservation Commission, which owns and co-manages most of the city's Urban Wilds, voted to approve rules for the public to use these natural spaces. Please be a responsible steward of the Urban Wilds by observing the following:
Urban Wilds are open to the public from dawn to dusk. No trespassing after hours.
Keep your dog leashed at all times. Clean up and remove all pet waste.
Respect other visitors and support the quality of their experience.
Take all your trash out with you.
Leave rocks, plants, and other natural objects as you find them.
Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them.
Stay on the trail. Walking off-trail destroys vegetation and leads to erosion.

Urban Wilds history
The Boston Urban Wilds Initiative (UWI) has its roots in the environmental movement of the 1970s. In 1976, the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), which is now the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA), published a landmark document called Boston's Urban Wilds: A Natural Area Conservation Program.
This document inventoried 143 areas in the City and offered recommendations for Boston's remaining natural areas. This included both privately- and publicly-owned land.
In response to this report, the Boston Natural Areas Fund (BNAF) was incorporated in 1977 as a nonprofit organization to work with the city and state agencies to secure the inventoried urban wilds. With BNAF assistance, the City acquired more than 48 acres of land. BNAF, in cooperation with the Massachusetts Audubon Society, developed environmental educational programs at several urban wilds to foster understanding and proper use of these sites. Despite heightened concern, accelerated development continued to encroach upon the numerous pristine, unprotected wilds.
In 1990, BNAF issued a second call to arms with an updated urban wilds report documenting the loss of several important sites and stressing the need for increased protection of privately-owned natural areas. To confront stewardship challenges outlined in the report, the Boston Youth Clean-up Corps (BYCC) was enlisted to provide regular clean-up and vegetation control in the summer months while the Parks Department's Maintenance Division supplied some spring and fall support. More recently, neighborhood, corporate, and non-profit groups have also been recruited for clean-ups and special projects.
Despite supervision by the Parks and Recreation Department since 1989, consistent stewardship remains a challenge due to limited resources and/or a lack of grass-roots support. Furthermore, with the exception of properties under Boston Conservation Commission and Parks Department jurisdiction, urban wilds under city and private ownership are continuously threatened by potential development.
Besides the Parks Department and Conservation Commission, the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) has also aggressively sought to protect significant parcels of land. Large sites identified in the 1976 BRA report, such as Sawmill Brook (Brook Farm) in West Roxbury and the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation in East Boston, are now owned by the DCR, as are a series of open spaces along the Dorchester shoreline and Neponset River. These acquisitions provide permanent protection to the city's largest and most important remaining habitats.
