      Oil Painting - Sea, Waves and Beach - Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire

Alistair Butt © 2008.An 'almost' finished oil painting of the superb Saltwick Bay on the North Yorkshire coast just below Whitby. Remaining to be done, when the under paint is tough dry, is some glazing for a soft haze (sea spray) over the lower background cliffs, plus some small work (detailing) of areas like the main wave and sand (small stones etc).It was just one of those days when the light, tide etc all combined to produce a wonderful subject... a falling tide provided some wonderful refection's on the beach and thanks to the flat shelve of rock in the bay the waves were much smaller than those just north at Whitby.As I've mentioned in a previous post about this location, this is by no means an easy one to

The future of Crewe Baths, something that plays a part in a significant number of borough lives if you believe the stats associated with swimming. Adults and kids love to swim. Just last week the Labour assault on the Cheshire East elections saw them announce that under-5s, pensioners and people with disabilities would benefit from free swimming sessions if they got into power this May. Nice carrot. How this would be paid for is an obvious concern but it sounds like a vote winner for many..As most know there is a feasibility

      Freak Waves
      El fenómeno de las Freak waves, u olas gigantes fue durante muchos años una de las leyendas marineras que pocos decían creer. Siempre se han oído historias sobre olas gigantescas que engullían buques haciéndolos desaparecer para siempre … y siempre se habían considerado historietas para asustar a los novatos. Sin embargo las historias contadas por los supervivientes y los daños sufridos por algunos buques hacían innegable su existencia, pero su tamaño real, así como su aparición repentina seguían siendo un misterio. Uno de los factores para el escepticismo en la leyenda de las freak waves, era que la desaparición de buques se producía en ocasiones en condiciones de buena mar, y con aparente calma de vientos.

It was all I could do to stay still and keep focused on what I was listening to instead of jumping up and writing it all down. Now I know I really did need this time for focus and to have a break from having to go anywhere. Still trying to get rid of this all to persistent cough. In addition to beefing up my fruit and vitamin consumption I was able to give myself some of reiki today and take it easy.

      Please clarify how electron waves can occur in 1/2 wavelengths
      It would help if in questioning a source, you gave an accurate reference to the source. I have searched Encarta and think I found the quote at exact quote I see in section IV is: "The length of the string, or the distance the wave on the string occupies, is equal to a whole or half number of wavelengths. At these distances, the wave bounces back at either end and constructively interferes with itself, which strengthens the wave. Similarly, an electron wave occupies a distance around the nucleus of an atom, or a circumference, that enables it to travel a whole or half number of wavelengths before looping back on itself." The problem with the quote is the word "similarly". The boundary conditions for a circular loop are different than those for a violin string. The violin string allows h

It soaked almost everyone, though judging from the subsequent photos, Sarah Jessica Parker somehow came away unscathed. Perhaps 'Mr. Big' (Chris Noth) has finally become the gentleman 'Carrie' always wanted and sheltered her from the water.Also, it appears that the main characters of Sex and The City are still having problems getting along.

      Woodward: "Our Flag Still Waves Proudly from the Walls"
      March 6 is a big day here in Texas. On this date in 1836, the defenders of the Alamo (including legendary figures Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie) were overwhelmed and killed by the forces of the Mexican leader Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. In defeat, these heroes had bought valuable time for Sam Houston to assemble the army that defeated Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21 and won independence for Texas.The commander of the forces at the Alamo, William Travis, is one of those historical figures who managed to crown a fairly disreputable life with one defining act of heroic nobility. The letter written from his desperate position in the besieged fort is justly famous. I defy anyone to stand in the Alamo today, read the words that Col. Travis addressed to "the people of Texas an

      Biggest Waves in Hawaii
      Aloha Hawaii lovers,Let's get right into our Hawaii Monday Photo of the week by well-known Hawaii photographer's Jennifer Crites. Hope we can attract your attention with this big shot of a huge wave on Oahu's North Shore surfer's paradise. Facing a wave of that size is even for pro Hawaiian surfers a challenge. Having watched Hawaiian surfers on the Big Island during the winter months for many years, each time time I was mesmerized. Big Island surf does not really have the pipelines like North Shore of Oahu. So, each time when I saw a surfer crushed by the big wave at the end of the ride, I seriously doubted he'd come ever up again.

      Beach camping offers waves of enjoyment
      We were new to beach camping, so the throng caught us by surprise. That "just me and the trees" feeling you often can achieve even in busy forest campgrounds was out of reach here. We were packed in like sardines.The campsite was basically an extra-wide parking spot with a piece of dirt behind it. Nearly all our neighbors were housed in RVs, which seemed the better way to go. We had to move the picnic table to squeeze in our two small tents. At night when we roasted marshmallows, I kept a watchful eye for sparks that could potentially ignite our night's accommodations. One tent was mostly uphill and those of us who drew the short straws got to sleep with our heads closer to the train tracks.

And that doesn’t leave the “Simple Life” starlet with much left over.The beneficiary of Barron’s generosity will be the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, and will bring it’s total assets to $4.5 billion.

I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don't understand what the hell is going on. I've no desire at all to go back there. says the acclaimed British actor Ben Whishaw.

After playing the lead in Perfume, we expected to see him doing more challenging roles. Perhaps we'll get that satisfaction in 2 of his upcoming films: Brideshead Revisited (http://themovie-fanatic.com/brideshead_revisited.htm) and Bright Star (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810784/). Oh and he got another film coming up: The Restraint of Beasts (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800177/)!
