The Needles are a series of massive granite rock formations rising up from the North Fork of the Kern River near its junction with the Little Kern River. The Needles Lookout is located 2.5 miles off the Western Divide Highway (State Route 190) 10 miles north of Mountain Road 50. Johnsondale, California is the nearest town, with the Camp Whitsett, BSA camp around 4 miles from Johnsondale. On July 28, 2011, the Needles lookout, constructed in 1937-1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, was destroyed in a structure fire. The lookout tower stood atop the rock formation at 8,245 feet.

The Needles is a row of three distinctive stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, UK, close to Alum Bay. The Needles Lighthouse stands at the outer, western end of the formation. Built in 1859, it has been automated since 1994.
The formation takes its name from a fourth needle-shaped pillar called Lot's Wife that collapsed in a storm in 1764. The remaining rocks are not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.
The Needles - Landmark Attraction (previously known as The Needles Pleasure Park) situated at the top of the cliff is a small amusement park with a selection of shops and rides. The most famous attraction at the pleasure park is the Chairlift, which operates between the park and Alum Bay.
The Needles are inextricably linked with Alum Bay, and are a major tourist draw. Scenic boat trips operating from Alum Bay that offer close-up views of the Needles are very popular. The rocks and lighthouse have become icons of the Isle of Wight, and are featured on many of the souvenirs sold throughout the island.
Canyonlands National Park is a U.S. National Park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. It preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964.
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as "the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere."
Recreation
Canyonlands is a popular recreational destination. Since 2007, more than 400,000 people have visited the park each year with a record of 542,431 visitors in 2014. The geography of the park is well suited to a number of different recreational uses. Hikers, mountain bikers, backpackers, and four-wheelers all enjoy traveling the rugged, remote trails within the Park. The White Rim Road traverses the White Rim Sandstone level of the park between the rivers and the Island in the Sky. Since 2015, day-use permits must be obtained before travelling on the White Rim Road due to the increasing popularity of driving and bicycling along it. The park service's intent is to provide a better wilderness experience for all visitors while minimizing impacts on the natural surroundings.
The Needles were a four-piece band who formed in their mid-teens in late 1990s Aberdeen, relocating to Glasgow in 2001. Influenced heavily by 1960s garage punk and late 70s new wave/powerpop, their first limited-edition single on newly formed indie label Lithium Records sold out within weeks of its release, and the follow-up "We Got the Soul" continued the momentum, garnering positive notices in the Melody Maker and NME, as well as airplay on Radio 1's Evening Session.
Various delays and false dawns followed, and although they continued to release records for a good few years afterwards, switching to the better-funded Dangerous Records in 2002, this early momentum was never truly regained, although their last three singles, "Dianne, Summer Girls and Girl I used to Know", received a degree of exposure on MTV2, Radio 1, and XFM.
The band finally split to pursue new projects in 2007, with Dave, Paul, and John going on to form the Hidden Masters with Nic Denholm (ex-Owsley Sunshine/Uncle John & Whitelock) and former Bangtwister bassist Alpha Mitchell. The Hidden Masters went on to record an album entitled 'Of This And Other Worlds' for Rise Above/Metal Blade Records and perform backing vocals on Trembling Bells and Bonnie Prince Billy's 2012 album The Marble Downs. Singer Dave Dixon later went on to front The Shiverin' Sheiks, who released the debut single 'Guided Missiles' on BrewDog Records in 2013, while bassist Paul Curtiss (née Milne) formed London-based psychedelic pop band The Magnetic Mind, which released the 7" single 'Maybe the Stars, Maybe the Sun' on Heavy Soul Records in 2012.

Needles Lighthouse at Christmas, part 1, 1992
This film (in 2 parts) was filmed in 1992 on board the Needles Lighthouse, Isle of Wight, England. I was sent with about 2 days notice, when the Keeper who should have gone, said he was too ill to go. I had been hoping to record for posterity, Christmas on a Lighthouse, so this is my recording of that trip.
If you don't like Christmas, New Year celebrations or Lighthouse Keepers humour
or life in a Lighthouse, then perhaps this isn't for you!....In any case, Merry Christmas to you, and a Happy New Year.

Lipoma in Dogs: Fine Needle Aspiration by a Veterinarian
To learn more about lipomas in dogs and better understand the value of fine needle aspiration, visit https://toegrips.com/lipoma-in-dogs/. There are different ways for a veterinarian to aspirate a lipoma, but in all cases, the dog does not seem to react or notice. Typically, the needle is very small—often the size that is used for canine vaccinations.
WARNING—Graphic video: If procedures that use needles are upsetting, please skip this video.
