Plymouth
Thought it was about time that there was a video on here that shows the best of Plymouth for a change. When the sun shines, it's actually not a bad place to live. Yes it may be 10 years behind most other places... but, that's part of its charm !
Located in Devon in the South West of England, Plymouth is busting with history. Home of the largest Navy base in Europe. The strating point of the Pilgrim Fathers famous voyage on to discover the new lands of America. Home of Sir Francis Drake, Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Walter Raleigh to name but a few.
With Plmouth Sound and the sea beyond to the south, Dartmoor to the North. With the beaches and amazing countyside of Devon and Cornwall only a stones throw away, Plymouth is a great place to be in, on or near the water in the great outdoors.
Dispite all the negatives I'm proud of my little City by the Sound. Shot this summer, here are just a selection of the best bits. Enjoy !

Small Towns in USA: Driving Through Ludlow Vermont (VT), Okemo Mountain Resort
Driving Through New England Small Towns, Ludlow Vermont (VT), Okemo Mountain Resort, ob Vermont Route 103, then through town of Cavendish on Vermont Route 131 to intersection of Highway I-91 . Very scenic driving.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ludlow is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States. The population was 1,963 at the 2010 census.[3] Ludlow is the home of Okemo Mountain, a popular ski resort. Before becoming a ski destination, Ludlow was originally a mill town, and was the home of a General Electric plant until 1977. It was named after Ludlow, Massachusetts which is less than 100 miles away. There is also a village of Ludlow in the town.
**************************
Rising above the village of Ludlow, in south-central Vermont, Okemo Mountain Resort is a family-operated four-season outdoor enthusiast's playground.
**************************************************
Cavendish is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States. The town was likely named after William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire.[3] The population was 1,367 at the 2010 census.[4] The town of Cavendish includes the unincorporated villages of Cavendish and Proctorsville.
****************************
Vermont Route 131 is a 16.299-mile-long (26.231 km) state highway in Windsor County, Vermont, United States. It starts at VT 103 in Cavendish and terminates at a junction with U.S. Route 5 and VT 12 in the town of Weathersfield.
VT 131 begins at an intersection with VT 103 in the Windsor County town of Cavendish on the shores of the Black River. VT 131 runs southeast from VT 103 along Main Street in Cavendish, paralleling local railroad tracks as the main west–east road through the community. The route bends northeast in the village, passing a long string of residences, turning east at Twentymile Stream Road. Now paralleling the Black River, the route continues east through Cavendish, reaching the commercial center at a junction with Mill Street.[2]
At Mill Street, VT 131 turns northeast through another residential sector of Cavendish. The route winds northeast through Cavendish, reaching the hamlet of Whitesville, a small community at the junction of Whitesville and Carlton Roads with VT 131. The route soon reaches Cavendish Center, a small junction at Brook Road, where it bends along the Black River eastward before turning southeast along the river still. After running south, the route soon bends east through the woods of Cavendish. VT 131 and the river bend northeast then east and entering the town of Weathersfield. In the community of Downers, which VT 131 almost immediately enters, the route junctions with VT 106.[2]
VT 131 at US 5 and VT 12 in Ascutney
After VT 106, VT 131 bends northeast out of Downers, paralleling the North Branch of the Black River, reaching the hamlet of Amsden. After a couple turns, the route reaches Gulf Road, where it turns north again, running up a mountainside into a bend at Henry Gould Road. VT 131 then bends southeast, passing the other end of Gulf Road, soon reaching a junction with Weathersfield Center Road. Running down the hillside it climbed earlier, the route bends northeast into a diamond interchange with I-91 (exit 8) in Weathersfield.[2]
After I-91, VT 131 becomes a divided highway as it enters the hamlet of Ascutney, reaching a junction with US 5 and VT 12 just west of the Connecticut River and New Hampshire, where VT 131's right-of-way becomes NH 103
**********************
The Black River begins in a small body of water called Black Pond, in Plymouth, Vermont. Winding its way toward the town of Ludlow, its narrow flow picks up a variety of small brooks and streams and is cooled by overhanging branches. Passing through Amherst Lake, Echo Lake, Lake Rescue, and Lake Pauline, the Black River picks up more tributaries and winds through the town of Ludlow, the home of Okemo Mountain Ski Resort. Tumbling through impressive Cavendish Gorge, the river widens as it passes under the Downers Covered Bridge and enters Perkinsville.

Maintaining Leadworks for Cemetery Monuments and Mausolea by Angus “Gus” Fraser and David Gallagher
Maintaining Leadworks for Cemetery Monuments and Mausolea by Angus “Gus” Fraser and David Gallagher
Lead has traditionally been a widely available, durable, and versatile material used in several different forms in setting and maintaining cemetery memorials. Wedge lead, sheet lead, lead wool and poured, molten, lead were all used at various times at Mount Auburn Cemetery, where countless monuments are set on lead and many of our mausolea are pointed with it. During the 20th century, as alternative setting materials became available and, more recently, the potential health effects of lead exposure became widely understood, lead fell out of favor among monument setters. As use of the material has declined, the skills necessary to restore and maintain historic monuments are becoming more difficult to find. At Mount Auburn Cemetery we have been exploring the advantages of this once prevalent material, and aquiring the techniques to use it effectively and safely. In this presentation we will share a bit of the history of the use of lead at Mount Auburn and discuss our lessons learned over the course of several preservation projects.

211 Bible Hill Road | Francestown, New Hampshire real estate & homes
- The grey fox stands for a moment in the middle of the lawn as if to say, admire me!
And he is indeed admirable and has chosen the property to our south as his home among
several abutting and conserved pieces of mostly open fields. Our six and one-half acres
seems so much larger.
Our Acorn style home sits on the top of the hill, with a long stately driveway that leads
to it. Newly painted inside, and with outside staining in process, the cathedral living
space and shiny countertops blend well into the openly designed kitchen. Huge windows
throughout the home let in plenty of sun and warmth. A cozy New England fireplace in
the living area makes a great place to snuggle up and read a book while surrounded by
nature... this is a property for lovers of the outdoors, for those that seek a quieter way
of living with nature's bounty all around and visible
from the home's inside and outside tranquility.
Our ownership of part of the old Francestown Soapstone quarry gives us a magnificent
place to swim from our dock in the refreshing, sixty to eighty foot deep spring fed clear
water! If you have not experienced swimming in a NH quarry then you are in for a treat!
From up above the quarry wall we enjoy summertime and the quarry splendor from
within the fully screened gazebo which is viewable from the house. In the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, this high-quality soapstone quarry was Francestown's raison
d'etre, until it was overtaken by natural springs in 1890. Two seasonal streams and three
interlocking pools empty into the quarry pond. These snake through granite walks and
stairs, woodlands and flower beds adorned with myrtle. Once a part of the still famous
Francestown walking garden tour, this property is easily within range of restoration to its
rightful place as one of the town's most precious garden properties! When in summer
drought, an in-ground irrigation system allows a draw from the quarry to fill the sculpted
hollows outlined by myrtle and granite stone!
The home has spaces arranged to good use with windows on the South and West sides
to take advantage of the sun, and a sun porch on the West side overlooking the gardens
and woods. The basement is nicely finished in part and offers walkout access over a
slate walksway to the large stone boulder with its old steel piling
still sticking out from yesteryear.
There is a master bedroom on the first floor with adjoining bath or on the second floor,
also with adjoining bath, depending on one's preference. The guest room is more than
ample. A two car garage is accessed directly from the undercover porch with sitting
swing and is attached to the house. Behind the garage is an attached woodshed with
cement floor. The roof is recent too!
Look at the Maple out of the dining room window, the blueberry bushes, the Rainier
Grape vines, the cherry, peach and plum trees...honeysuckle draws hummingbirds galore
in summer and the tall pine backdrop brings woodpeckers and owls of many varieties.
Deer, fox, moose and mink are some of the inhabitants of these woods.
Take a snowshoe walk around the property and see the tracks of that grey fox around the
back of the garage...take a hot bath in your tub and watch through the large window as
the snowflakes fall. The road is lightly travelled, but it is paved and town maintained and
that is good. Meet your human neighbors with their conserved fields of sheep and say
hi to them or greet them in the village store or at town meetings or community suppers.
This is it, this is Francestown, NH where everything good
in a small New England town can be yours for the seasons.

SUMMARY
=======
The Occupy movement was an international progressive, socio-political movement against social and economic inequality and the lack of real democracy around the world. It aimed primarily to advance social and economic justice and new forms of democracy. The movement had many different scopes; local groups often had different focuses, but among the movement's prime concerns were how large corporations (and the global financial system) control the world in a way that disproportionately benefited a minority, undermined democracy, and was unstable. Occupy formed part of what Manfred Steger called the global justice movement.The first Occupy protest to receive widespread attention, Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zuccotti Park, began on 17 September 2011. By 9 October, Occupy protests had taken place or were ongoing in over 951 cities across 82 countries, and in over 600 communities in the United States. Although most active in the United States, by October 2012 there had been Occupy protests and occupations in dozens of other countries across every inhabited continent. For the first month, overt police repression remained minimal, but this began to change by 25 October 2011 when police first attempted to forcibly remove Occupy Oakland. By the end of 2011, authorities had cleared most of the major camps, with the last remaining high-profile sites – in Washington, D.C. and in London – evicted by February 2012.The Occupy movement took inspiration in part from the Arab Spring, from the 2009 Iranian Green Movement, and from the Spanish Indignados Movement, as well as from the overall global wave of anti-austerity protests. The movement commonly uses the slogan We are the 99% and the #Occupy hashtag format; it organizes through websites such as Occupy Together. According to The Washington Post, the movement, which Cornel West described as a democratic awakening, is difficult to distill to a few demands. On 12 October 2011, Los Angeles City Council became one of the first governmental bodies in the United States to adopt a resolution stating its informal support of the Occupy movement. In October 2012, the Executive Director of Financial Stability at the Bank of England stated that the protesters were right to criticise and had persuaded bankers and politicians to behave in a more moral way.
