After a meeting held Friday night by Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson, the city and residents seem to be on the same page about the recent sinkhole problem. Work on the sinkhole on North Fourth Street is progressing.  People have expressed their needs and concerns.

Saturday morning a breakfast was held at the Trinity Church of God on North Fourth Street. Not only did people get a hot meal, they could pick up cases of water and talk to representatives from the Red Cross about housing and other needs. Currently the Red Cross is helping over 15 families displaced because of the sinkhole.

Almost eight years have passed since the horrific red tide outbreak of 2005. It was first reported in February 2005 near Port Manatee and lingered for more than seven months, leaving a destructive trail as it spread across the west coast of Florida,

Beaches along Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key were littered with dead snook, tarpon, mullet, redfish, goliath grouper, sharks and pretty much everything that swims for nearly the entire summer of 2005.

Our Amazing Planet - 1/03/13, Douglas Main

A research cruise has discovered 40 previously unknown gas seeps on the seafloor off the U.S. East Coast. The plumes of gas are almost certainly methane, also known as natural gas, according to government scientists.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas due to its ability to absorb heat, but the released gas is not likely to reach the ocean surface in significant quantities and affect the climate, said Carolyn Ruppel, a researcher with the U.S. Geological Survey, which collaborated in the research. Neither is the amount of gas likely to warrant commercial interest, she said.

God said:

What do you feel when you feel Me near you? Do you feel Me holding you, stroking your hair perhaps, My hand wiping your tears, smoothing your face, letting you know in the simplest ways possible that I am always with you? How simple it is that I am near you, as close to you as close can be. I can only be your Friend. Feel My Presence now. Feel the warmth of My love waft over you right now. Feel the touch of My hand and the warmth of My heart. Beloveds, you are anointed with My love. It is love that smooths your brow. It is love that makes Us One. Simple simple is Our love. As I embrace All I embrace you, so does your heart embrace All. All becomes One United One. Love is Our bond, and yet there are no reins. Love is free to embrace the All of One.

An incredible swath of plasma erupted from the Sun on December 31st, 2012 over a four-hour period. NASA stated that a massive eruption on the surface of the Sun blasted out a wave of super-hot plasma so high that it could tower over 20 Earth. The length of the eruption extends about 257,495 kilometers (160,000 miles) out from the Sun. With Earth about 12,714 km (7,900 miles) in diameter, this relatively minor eruption is about 20 times the diameter of our planet. Magnetic forces drove the flow of plasma, but without sufficient force to overcome the sun’s gravity much of the plasma fell back into...

The next tree in the woodlands alphabet is my favourite – The Willow.  Letter S (Celtic Saille) and there is no Australian counterpart because Willows are ubiquitous.Its Latin name is Salix and there are about 5 or 6 varieties of it.  My favourites are the Weeping Willow (salix babalonica and the Pussy Willow, Salix caprea.  My mother used to call me Pussy Willow when I was a little girl.

The meaning of this totally feminine plant is all those watery things to do with emotions, feeling, sensitivity, vision, intuition and divination.  The unconscious, Lunar tides and the ebbs and flow of magic.

The bark and the leaves contain salicylic acid. . It can be used for when …  “Oh dear! you have a headache”. Its a good all round pain killer and great for period pains as it contains the source of aspirin.

January 5, 2013 – ARGENTINA – A blistering heat wave, power outages and a fuel shortage added up Tuesday to a second day of hellish conditions in Greater Buenos Aires, home to about a quarter of Argentina’s 40 million people. Amid a plethora of recommendations by the authorities on how to deal with the soaring temperatures, which on Tuesday were expected to reach 36 C (97 F), people took refuge in any shade they could find to get out of the blazing heat of the Argentine summer. The National Meteorological Service renewed this Tuesday a high alert for the Argentine capital and its surrounding areas due to the high temperatures, which created scenes the total opposite of those seen these days in snowbound Europe and the United States.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A powerful earthquake measuring 7.5 magnitude struck a remote corner of the Pacific Coast off Alaska's panhandle, triggering a tsunami warning that prompted evacuations early Saturday in the seaside borough of Sitka, but no severe damage or injuries were reported.

The quake was centered about 60 miles southwest of Port Alexander, a town near the southern tip of Baranof Island, at a depth of 6 miles, and occurred just before midnight local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
