I have been traveling to Leuven once a month for some 17 months now, and have not, until yesterday, visited the church of St Peter.
It stands in the centre of the town, opposite the ornate Town Hall, and around most of it is a wide pedestrianised area, so it doesn't feel hemmed in.
It is undergoing renovation, and a large plastic sheet separates the chancel from the rest of the church, and in the chancel, called the treasury, are many wonderful items of art. And maybe due to the €3 entrance fee, I had the chancel to myself, and just my colleagues with me when I photographed the rest.
The naive is dominated by a huge wooden pulpit. If that were just it, a large wooden font that would enough. But the font is a carved scene an oak tree, complete with squirrels and cherubs, above a huge sounding board, and above that two palm trees.
I am sure that it wasn't carved from a single piece of wood, if not, the joins are well hidden.
----------------------------------------------
Saint Peter's Church (Dutch: Sint-Pieterskerk) of Leuven, Belgium, is situated on the city's Grote Markt (main market square), right across the ornate Town Hall. Built mainly in the 15th century in Brabantine Gothic style, the church has a cruciform floor plan and a low bell tower that has never been completed. It is 93 meters long.
The first church on the site, made of wood and presumably founded in 986, burned down in 1176.[1] It was replaced by a Romanesque church, made of stone, featuring a West End flanked by two round towers like at Our Lady's Basilica in Maastricht. Of the Romanesque building only part of the crypt remains, underneath the chancel of the actual church.
Construction of the present Gothic edifice, significantly larger than its predecessor, was begun approximately in 1425, and was continued for more than half a century in a remarkably uniform style, replacing the older church progressively from east (chancel) to west. Its construction period overlapped with that of the Town Hall across the Markt, and in the earlier decades of construction shared the same succession of architects as its civic neighbor: Sulpitius van Vorst to start with, followed by Jan II Keldermans and later on Matheus de Layens. In 1497 the building was practically complete,[1] although modifications, especially at the West End, continued.
In 1458, a fire struck the old Romanesque towers that still flanked the West End of the uncompleted building. The first arrangements for a new tower complex followed quickly, but were never realized. Then, in 1505, Joost Matsys (brother of painter Quentin Matsys) forged an ambitious plan to erect three colossal towers of freestone surmounted by openwork spires, which would have had a grand effect, as the central spire would rise up to about 170 m,[2] making it the world's tallest structure at the time. Insufficient ground stability and funds proved this plan impracticable, as the central tower reached less than a third of its intended height before the project was abandoned in 1541. After the height was further reduced by partial collapses from 1570 to 1604, the main tower now rises barely above the church roof; at its sides are mere stubs. The architect had, however, made a maquette of the original design, which is preserved in the southern transept.
Despite their incomplete status, the towers are mentioned on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France.
The church suffered severe damage in both World Wars. In 1914 a fire caused the collapse of the roof and in 1944 a bomb destroyed part of the northern side.
The reconstructed roof is surmounted at the crossing by a flèche, which, unlike the 18th-century cupola that preceded it, blends stylistically with the rest of the church.
A very late (1998) addition is the jacquemart, or golden automaton, which periodically rings a bell near the clock on the gable of the southern transept, above the main southern entrance door.
Despite the devastation during the World Wars, the church remains rich in works of art. The chancel and ambulatory were turned into a museum in 1998, where visitors can view a collection of sculptures, paintings and metalwork.
The church has two paintings by the Flemish Primitive Dirk Bouts on display, the Last Supper (1464-1468) and the Martyrdom of St Erasmus (1465). The street leading towards the West End of the church is named after the artist. The Nazis seized The Last Supper in 1942.[3] Panels from the painting had been sold legitimately to German museums in the 1800s, and Germany was forced to return all the panels as part of the required reparations of the Versailles Treaty after World War I.[3]
An elaborate stone tabernacle (1450), in the form of a hexagonal tower, soars amidst a bunch of crocketed pinnacles to a height of 12.5 meters. A creation of the architect de Layens (1450), it is an example of what is called in Dutch a sacramentstoren, or in German a Sakramentshaus, on which artists lavished more pains than on almost any other artwork.
In side chapels are the tombs of Duke Henry I of Brabant (d. 1235), his wife Matilda (d. 1211) and their daughter Marie (d. 1260). Godfrey II of Leuven is also buried in the church.
A large and elaborate oak pulpit, which is transferred from the abbey church of Ninove, is carved with a life-size representation of Norbert of Xanten falling from a horse.
One of the oldest objects in the art collection is a 12th-century wooden head, being the only remainder of a crucifix burnt in World War I.
There is also Nicolaas de Bruyne's 1442 sculpture of the Madonna and Child enthroned on the seat of wisdom (Sedes Sapientiae). The theme is still used today as the emblem of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
Game of Thrones: The Complete First Season (DVD, 2012, 5-Disc Set)
Game of Thrones Season 1, Set of 5 DVDs in Case
Prior owner's statement: Had I known how much sleazy “adult” content this series contains, I would never have purchased it in the first place. (Always read product packaging carefully!) Though a very professional production with some positive qualities (an interesting combination of gritty realism with subtle fantasy), I felt dirtied by the experience of watching (even with all the fast-forwarding) and would definitely not want to watch it again! Though I should toss these in a bonfire, as would Savonarola of old, I really need the money, and the market's already saturated with this kind of garbage anyway, right?
Seller's statement: Well, now you know what you're in for! If this is the sort of programming you find entertaining, or if you share the sentiments of the prior owner but think reviewing the series will somehow make you better able to “engage with contemporary American pop culture,” or even if you just plan to follow Savonarola's example and need a few extra items for the fire, then place your bid today!
Full disclosure: The seller shares the prior owner's feelings toward the series' content. Preferring video lectures and clean classic films to most contemporary cinema, he is unlikely ever to appreciate Game of Thrones. However, commerce must take priority, and many individuals may have good reasons to view/inspect/review a series as popular as this one. So, to reiterate, place your bid today!
5 DVDs in artful presentation/storage case in excellent, viewed-once condition.

This is a 1958 "Field & Stream" Travel Trailer ( canned ham ). This vintage style of camping trailers were referred to as "car trailers" back when they were being built because of their size, light weight and ease of towing. The cabin part of the trailer is 12' long, the tongue is 2' making the total length only 14'. It pulls beautifully going down the highway, no fish tailing at all. You can forget your pulling a trailer.
This trailer is 95% original, no modifications. This trailer has not been restored and I have only made a couple of small repairs. If you are looking for a great platform for making a complete restoration then this would be an absolutely great trailer for such a project.
The interior is all wood, top to bottom and front to back and it is all original wood. I have installed a self-contained 12 volt electrical system and it doesn't need 120 volt. Everything runs off of 12 volts. However all of the original 120 volt wiring is still in place and hasn't been touched, even the original 120v light fixtures are still in place. All of the cabinet hardware is still in place, working and original. All the hinges, handles, and everything is original. The original "icebox" and oven/stove are still in the camper and work great. It also has the original factory installed "Kenmore" cabin heater and it also works great.
When I got the trailer someone had changed the paint scheme so I re-painted it to the original design. The rear couch makes into a double bed. Above the rear couch it has a removable bunk bed/hammock that is original factory equipment also. The dinette also makes into a double bed. There is a lot of storage in the camper. It also has a 10 gallon fresh water tank with a manual hand pump.
The trailer also comes with 2 30 lb propane tanks, a new spare tire and wheel.
The following items are new in the past three months:
New Interior 12 volt light throughout the camper
New 240 watt solar panel
New "Sunforce" 12v, 30 amp charge controller
4 new "Everstart" 750 cold crank amp deep cell marine batteries
New "Cen-Tech" 1500 watt continuous , 3000 surge 120v power inverter (for microwave, etc.)
New Rival 700 watt microwave
New manual water pump for sink
New Shakespeare SeaWatch 15" Marine TV Antenna (model 3015)
Toshiba 17' Flat Screen TV
All new blinds on the windows
New roof top vent
This is one great little camper. I bought it for hunting plus the nostalgia. It was used this past hunting season and worked great. However with four adult men it was a little cramped. So I plan to up size for next year. I pulled it off road in BLM land in Teller County and down in the Phantom Canyon area and had no problems at all.
Because this trailer is extremely rare there are not many sources of photos to be had but you can follow the link below to another "Field & Stream" trailer. As you can see the interiors are very similar as it is all original like mine: girlcamper.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
(Update) You can see a video of the interior of my camper here: youtu.be/NA1VfPU8Sd8
Now the best part last: YES, I DO HAVE A CLEAN CLEAR TITLE IN HAND, AND CURRENT REGISTRATION ALSO. So unlike most trailers you see of this vintage you will not have a problem with registration and it will be registered as a "Field and Stream" not a home-made trailer as is usually the case with trailers bought without a title.
If you have questions please ask. I am asking $5000.00 cash, make offer, no trades. I will sell it to the first person who makes me an agreeable offer with CASH ONLY. I will consider local delivery after the cash transaction.
City Hall, also known as City Hall Loop,[4] was the original southern terminal station of the first line of the New York City Subway, built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), named the "Manhattan Main Line", and now part of the IRT Lexington Avenue Line.[5] Opened on October 27, 1904,[1] this station underneath the public area in front of City Hall was designed to be the showpiece of the new subway. The station was designed by Rafael Guastavino.[6] The main consulting architects on the IRT stations were George Lewis Heins and Christopher Grant LaFarge for the company Heins & LaFarge.[7] This station is unusually elegant in architectural style, and is unique among the original IRT stations, employing Romanesque Revival architecture.[8] The platform and mezzanine feature Guastavino tile, skylights, colored glass tilework and brass chandeliers. Passenger service was discontinued on December 31, 1945,[2] making it a ghost station, although the station is still used as a turning loop for 6 and trains.

The jumping spider family (Salticidae) contains more than 500 described genera and about 5,000 described species,[2] making it the largest family of spiders with about 13% of all species.[3]
Jumping spiders have good vision and use it for hunting and navigating. They are capable of jumping from place to place, secured by a silk tether. Both their book lungs and the tracheal system are well-developed, as they depend on both systems (bimodal breathing).

A few more shots from my recent woodland adventure with the toddlers at Bouldnor Forest (Near Yarmouth, Isle of Wight) on a bitterly cold winters day. The kids didnt seem to mind the weather as long as there were sticks to be played with, the adults were mostly happy to see the kids happy. All shot with the 50mm f1.2, making the most of the low winter sunlight available.

Outside view of the hall can be seen in "Under the Red Arch in Haneda Airport".
It disappoints me when I see photos on Flickr of guys wearing pantyhose or tights with a butt seam that is askew and not lined up with the guy's ass crack. It only takes a moment to check to ensure it's perfectly vertical and where it should be.

Under the bridge * Red Hot Chili Peppers taken with "Angel's" Nikon D200 new note 6.27.2011 1.31am est. rhcp youtu.be/uDn7jfzvcv4 views 492,503 as of AM en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers end note.
Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1983. For most of its career, the band has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional rock and funk with various elements of rap, heavy metal, punk rock and psychedelic rock.
In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. However, Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons resigning.[1] Irons was replaced briefly by former Dead Kennedys drummer D. H. Peligro before the band found a permanent replacement in Smith, while Slovak was replaced by up-and-coming guitarist Frusciante. This lineup recorded the band's fourth and fifth albums, Mother's Milk (1989) and Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991).
Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies. However, Frusciante grew increasingly uncomfortable with the band's success and left the band abruptly in 1992. Kiedis, Flea, and Smith employed Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction for their subsequent album, One Hot Minute (1995). It, however, failed to match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and sold fewer than half the copies of its predecessor. Shortly afterwards, Navarro was fired from the band due to creative differences.
Frusciante, while absent from the band, developed a severe drug addiction. In 1998, he completed rehabilitation and, at Flea's request, rejoined the band. The reunited foursome returned to the studio to record Californication (1999), which went on to sell fifteen million units worldwide, becoming their most successful album to date. It was followed three years later with By the Way (2002), which continued their success. In 2006, the group released the double album Stadium Arcadium. The band has won six Grammy Awards. They have sold over fifty million albums world wide, have had seven singles in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (including three singles in the Top 10), have had five #1 singles on the Mainstream Rock charts, and a record eleven #1 singles on the Modern Rock charts[2] making them one of the most successful acts in the history of alternative rock music.

The London Underground is a rapid transit system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. Despite the name, it is not the only underground railway to have been built in London – there was also the now defunct London Post Office Railway, Kingsway Tramway Subway and Tower Subway. There are localised railways in use today – the Docklands Light Railway and the Tramlink. There is also the London Overgroundservice. With its first section opening in 1863, it was the first underground railway system in the world.[3] In 1890 it became the first to operate electric trains.[4] Despite the name, about 55% of the network is above ground. It is usually referred to officially as 'the Underground' and colloquially as the Tube, although the latter term originally applied only to the deep-level bored lines, along which run slightly lower, narrower trains along standard-gauge track, to distinguish them from the sub-surface "cut and cover" lines that were built first. More recently this distinction has been lost and the whole system is now referred to as The Tube, even in recent years by its operator in official publicity.[5]
The earlier lines of the present London Underground network were built by various private companies. Apart from the main line railways, they became part of an integrated transport system in 1933 when the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) orLondon Transport was created. The underground network became a single entity in 1985, when the UK government created London Underground Limited (LUL).[6] Since 2003 LUL has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL), the statutory corporation responsible for most aspects of the transport system in Greater London, which is run by a board and a commissioner appointed by the Mayor of London.[7]
The Underground has 270 stations and 402 kilometres (250 mi) of track,[1] making it the second longest metro system in the world after the Shanghai Metro.[8] It also has one of the highest number of stations. In 2007, more than one billion passenger journeys were recorded,[2] making it the third busiest metro system in Europe after Paris and Moscow.
The tube map, with its schematic non-geographical layout and colour-coded lines, is considered a design classic, and many other transport maps worldwide have been influenced by it.

Now the best part last: YES, I DO HAVE A CLEAN CLEAR TITLE IN HAND, AND CURRENT REGISTRATION ALSO. So unlike most trailers you see of this vintage you will not have a problem with registration and it will be registered as a "Field and Stream" not a home-made trailer as is usually the case with trailers bought without a title.
If you have questions please ask. I am asking $5000.00 cash, make offer, no trades. I will sell it to the first person who makes me an agreeable offer with CASH ONLY. I will consider local delivery after the cash transaction.
“My Love is a Pine Tree”
Made by Pam Geisel of For Quilts Sake in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Jan. 2012 for Project Quilting Season 3, Challenge 2, Making Music.
17” x 16”
My creative process and how I made it:
Because there are so many good songs that evoke wonderful visuals, it was hard to choose one. I ended up using “The Pine Tree” by Johnny Cash and June Carter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgWIj7QHyEY
I’ve always been intrigued by how close together pine trees can grow and how sometimes the bottom half of the tree seems to be just trunk without branches.
Most of the background is pieced. The three trees in front have fabric triangles that are raw edge appliqué and yarn that is hand-couched on them.
Usually when I add yarn I like to put it along the seam lines but this time I put just the bottom on the seam line (to make it disappear some) with the angles between the edge and a quilting line. There is a bead where the yarn meets at the top of the trees.
I added some beads in the sky area, a few are clear but most of them are a dark blue because I didn’t want them to stand out much but still provide some sparkle.
The moon is a large button with white fun fur thread circling it to represent a lunar halo (the ring around the moon).
Europe Trip 2010 - Day 13

The London Underground is a rapid transit system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. Despite the name, it is not the only underground railway to have been built in London – there was also the now defunct London Post Office Railway, Kingsway Tramway Subway and Tower Subway. There are localised railways in use today – the Docklands Light Railway and the Tramlink. There is also the London Overgroundservice. With its first section opening in 1863, it was the first underground railway system in the world.[3] In 1890 it became the first to operate electric trains.[4] Despite the name, about 55% of the network is above ground. It is usually referred to officially as 'the Underground' and colloquially as the Tube, although the latter term originally applied only to the deep-level bored lines, along which run slightly lower, narrower trains along standard-gauge track, to distinguish them from the sub-surface "cut and cover" lines that were built first. More recently this distinction has been lost and the whole system is now referred to as The Tube, even in recent years by its operator in official publicity.[5]
The earlier lines of the present London Underground network were built by various private companies. Apart from the main line railways, they became part of an integrated transport system in 1933 when the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) orLondon Transport was created. The underground network became a single entity in 1985, when the UK government created London Underground Limited (LUL).[6] Since 2003 LUL has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL), the statutory corporation responsible for most aspects of the transport system in Greater London, which is run by a board and a commissioner appointed by the Mayor of London.[7]
The Underground has 270 stations and 402 kilometres (250 mi) of track,[1] making it the second longest metro system in the world after the Shanghai Metro.[8] It also has one of the highest number of stations. In 2007, more than one billion passenger journeys were recorded,[2] making it the third busiest metro system in Europe after Paris and Moscow.
The tube map, with its schematic non-geographical layout and colour-coded lines, is considered a design classic, and many other transport maps worldwide have been influenced by it.

I have been traveling to Leuven once a month for some 17 months now, and have not, until yesterday, visited the church of St Peter.
It stands in the centre of the town, opposite the ornate Town Hall, and around most of it is a wide pedestrianised area, so it doesn't feel hemmed in.
It is undergoing renovation, and a large plastic sheet separates the chancel from the rest of the church, and in the chancel, called the treasury, are many wonderful items of art. And maybe due to the €3 entrance fee, I had the chancel to myself, and just my colleagues with me when I photographed the rest.
----------------------------------------------
Saint Peter's Church (Dutch: Sint-Pieterskerk) of Leuven, Belgium, is situated on the city's Grote Markt (main market square), right across the ornate Town Hall. Built mainly in the 15th century in Brabantine Gothic style, the church has a cruciform floor plan and a low bell tower that has never been completed. It is 93 meters long.
The first church on the site, made of wood and presumably founded in 986, burned down in 1176.[1] It was replaced by a Romanesque church, made of stone, featuring a West End flanked by two round towers like at Our Lady's Basilica in Maastricht. Of the Romanesque building only part of the crypt remains, underneath the chancel of the actual church.
Construction of the present Gothic edifice, significantly larger than its predecessor, was begun approximately in 1425, and was continued for more than half a century in a remarkably uniform style, replacing the older church progressively from east (chancel) to west. Its construction period overlapped with that of the Town Hall across the Markt, and in the earlier decades of construction shared the same succession of architects as its civic neighbor: Sulpitius van Vorst to start with, followed by Jan II Keldermans and later on Matheus de Layens. In 1497 the building was practically complete,[1] although modifications, especially at the West End, continued.
In 1458, a fire struck the old Romanesque towers that still flanked the West End of the uncompleted building. The first arrangements for a new tower complex followed quickly, but were never realized. Then, in 1505, Joost Matsys (brother of painter Quentin Matsys) forged an ambitious plan to erect three colossal towers of freestone surmounted by openwork spires, which would have had a grand effect, as the central spire would rise up to about 170 m,[2] making it the world's tallest structure at the time. Insufficient ground stability and funds proved this plan impracticable, as the central tower reached less than a third of its intended height before the project was abandoned in 1541. After the height was further reduced by partial collapses from 1570 to 1604, the main tower now rises barely above the church roof; at its sides are mere stubs. The architect had, however, made a maquette of the original design, which is preserved in the southern transept.
Despite their incomplete status, the towers are mentioned on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France.
The church suffered severe damage in both World Wars. In 1914 a fire caused the collapse of the roof and in 1944 a bomb destroyed part of the northern side.
The reconstructed roof is surmounted at the crossing by a flèche, which, unlike the 18th-century cupola that preceded it, blends stylistically with the rest of the church.
A very late (1998) addition is the jacquemart, or golden automaton, which periodically rings a bell near the clock on the gable of the southern transept, above the main southern entrance door.
Despite the devastation during the World Wars, the church remains rich in works of art. The chancel and ambulatory were turned into a museum in 1998, where visitors can view a collection of sculptures, paintings and metalwork.
The church has two paintings by the Flemish Primitive Dirk Bouts on display, the Last Supper (1464-1468) and the Martyrdom of St Erasmus (1465). The street leading towards the West End of the church is named after the artist. The Nazis seized The Last Supper in 1942.[3] Panels from the painting had been sold legitimately to German museums in the 1800s, and Germany was forced to return all the panels as part of the required reparations of the Versailles Treaty after World War I.[3]
An elaborate stone tabernacle (1450), in the form of a hexagonal tower, soars amidst a bunch of crocketed pinnacles to a height of 12.5 meters. A creation of the architect de Layens (1450), it is an example of what is called in Dutch a sacramentstoren, or in German a Sakramentshaus, on which artists lavished more pains than on almost any other artwork.
In side chapels are the tombs of Duke Henry I of Brabant (d. 1235), his wife Matilda (d. 1211) and their daughter Marie (d. 1260). Godfrey II of Leuven is also buried in the church.
A large and elaborate oak pulpit, which is transferred from the abbey church of Ninove, is carved with a life-size representation of Norbert of Xanten falling from a horse.
One of the oldest objects in the art collection is a 12th-century wooden head, being the only remainder of a crucifix burnt in World War I.
There is also Nicolaas de Bruyne's 1442 sculpture of the Madonna and Child enthroned on the seat of wisdom (Sedes Sapientiae). The theme is still used today as the emblem of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
Helsinki ( Swedish: Helsingfors) is the capital and largest city in Finland. It is in the region of Uusimaa, located in southern Finland, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, an arm of the Baltic Sea. The population of the city of Helsinki is 588,195 (October 2010),[2] making it by far the most populous municipality in Finland. Helsinki is located some 400 kilometres (250 mi) east of Stockholm, Sweden, 300 kilometres (190 mi) west of St. Petersburg, Russia and 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Tallinn, Estonia. Helsinki has close historical connections with these three cities.

Crop, slight rotation, denoising, glitch removal and level tweaking/curves adjustments in Photoshop as usual. It's soft and grainy, but I'm still pleased that this turned out at all.
This was my first try at making a large tiered cake, the right way. I've done it before, actually, but never this fancy. This was for my brother, Jonathan, and his fiance, Amy, so I wanted it to be perfect. Well, what we want and what we get are often two different things! 3 simple things could have fixed this cake.
1. Not working 9 hours the day before.
2. Making the middle tier 8 inches instead of 10.
3. One word: Refrigeration.
I loved the design, I loved the flowers, I loved the cakes themselves and the fillings. But time definitely became an issue, having to work the day before the party was a big problem. The 2nd tier being too large created a problem with the "pearls" around the edge (which, had I had time, would have been smaller) because they began to slide down the cake, taking the frosting with them. On that note, I sort of wish the first tier had been higher, but that would be a LOT of cake. Moving on to the biggest problem: Refrigeration. Had the cakes and fillings been frozen or refrigerated to set well before and after frosting, the oozing and sliding may not even have BEEN an issue, at least until we got to the party and it started to heat up, but it would have happened LATER.
Also, I can't wait to learn how to make gumpaste flowers :)
But in the end, everyone loved it. I was the only one who had major issues with it. But thats okay. I'm learning!

List of Challenges:
#1 Finding the dimensions of a four year old boy
#2 Making the design interesting for a four year old boy
#3 Trying to avoid high cost because children grow very fast
#4 Giving enough support, but not so much that it is overwhelming
#5 Focusing on learning to walk (building good habits to eventually be able to independently walk), instead of designing a crutch
#6 Keeping in mind development of the child
#7 Keeping out jaggy edges, as much as possible
The constraints made me choose more soft materials that would be suitable for a 4 year old, and it also impacted my idea for the leg supports in order to help Marco not cruise.
My second entry for the Singles Awareness Day (drink all the single beers!) Now it's Granville Island Brewing's Barrel Aged Barley Wine (2012 edition). As you can tell, barrel aging is one of the newest trends in beer that's picking up a storm. But hey, when you have a distillery in your back yard, why not use their waste (the barrels!) for your own advantage? It adds a bit of a zing to it every time!
One thing I like about the Barley Wine already is the waxed top, it makes me miss back when Half Pints' used to wax the seasonals for 1) differentiating each annual batch and 2) making it tamper proof.
Appearance: A thick dark brown mahogany, like a dark Belgian ale, not quite coffee dark, but quite quite thick. Pours a nice amount of foam for a barley/wheat wine, a slight beige-cream film that clings to the glass.
Aroma: Headcold 2.12 won't go away so my nose isn't its best but it has a bit of a fresh malted barley aroma (I miss the farm) with a minimal (at best) aroma of bourbon barrel.. though can't compare to the Russell Nectar of the Gods in barrel aroma in annnny way. Quite light in aroma from my minimal experience in drinking Barley Wines.
Taste: A bitterness akin to the Nectar of the Gods, hoppy bitterness, yum! It has a moderate amount of sweetness, but no where near as sweet as some of the past Barley Wines I've had in the past like the famous Half Pints Burly Wine (RIP), but still quite a treat none-the-less. A bit of caramel notes, alcohol zing to it, a bit of a slight bourbon/oak sweetness to it, as well as a hint of the grape notes I notice in most Barley Wines. My senses are really off, but the constant trying-to-decipher-the-notes gets me a bit more used to the flavours. It gives off a bit of a bitter/metallic aftertaste that doesn't really seem to go away. Not the most flavourful Barley Wine I've had, but since this barley wine likely JUST got released, this bottle didn't get to live to see its potential!
Overall Thoughts: My senses hate me because of this head cold, but it's overall a decent barley wine, a decent amount of bitterness, a light caramel sweetness, an overall alcohol zing to it, a bit of an oak and bourbon flavour to it and pretty solid overall. If it wasn't Single's Awareness Day, I may have saved this for a few years. 11.5% ABV

Inside avocado fruits are fantastic health benefits👌! It has 11 carotenoids and powerful cancer-fighting antioxidants!
.
However, did you know that most of these beneficial compounds are found in the dark green layer right up against the skin of the fruit⁉️
.
⚠️ My tip of the day is: When you are peeling avocados make sure you do not remove this extremely nutrient dense dark green layer. Cut the ripe avocado into wedges and peel it as in the picture👆 making sure you keep as much of the dark green layer as possible❌🔪❌‼️

Poland (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a country in Central Europe bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast, a Russian exclave, to the north. The total area of Poland is 312,679 square kilometres (120,726 sq mi),[2] making it the 69th largest country in the world and the 9th largest in Europe. Poland has a population of over 38 million people, which makes it the 34th most populous country in the world and one of the most populous members of the European Union.
I have drawn on a basic line for the inside of the wheel then jigsawed it out.... leaving a good amount of wood left to be removed.
Clamps removed the next day. All the screws are under flush so you can now block sand the face to make sure it is perfectly flat to take the next layer.

From Wikipedia:
Messier 3 (M3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. It was discovered on May 3, 1764, and was the first Messier object to be discovered by Charles Messier himself. Messier originally mistook the object for a nebula without stars. This mistake was corrected after the stars were resolved by William Herschel around 1784. Since then, it has become one of the best-studied globular clusters. Identification of the cluster's unusually large variable star population was begun in 1913 by American astronomer Solon Irving Bailey and new variable members continue to be identified up through 2004.
Many amateur astronomers consider it one of the finest northern globular clusters, following only Messier 13. M3 has an apparent magnitude of 6.2, making it a difficult naked eye target even with dark conditions. With a moderate-sized telescope, the cluster is fully defined. It can be found by looking almost exactly halfway along the north-west line that would join Arcturus (α Boötis) to Cor Caroli (α Canum Venaticorum). Using a telescope with a 25 cm (9.8 in) aperture, the cluster has a bright core with a diameter of about 6 arcminutes and spans a total of double that.
This cluster is one of the largest and brightest, and is made up of around 500,000 stars. It is estimated to be 11.4 billion years old. It is centered at 32,615.64 light-years (10 kpc) away from Earth.
Messier 3 is quite isolated as it is 31.6 kly (9.7 kpc) above the Galactic plane and roughly 38.8 kly (11.9 kpc) from the center of the Milky Way. It contains 274 known variable stars, by far the most found in any globular cluster. These include 133 RR Lyrae variables, of which about a third display the Blazhko effect of long-period modulation. The overall abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium, what astronomers term the metallicity, is in the range of −1.34 to −1.50 dex. This value gives the logarithm of the abundance relative to the Sun; the actual proportion is 3.2–4.6% of the solar abundance. Messier 3 is the prototype for the Oosterhoff type I cluster, which is considered "metal-rich". That is, for a globular cluster, Messier 3 has a relatively high abundance of heavier elements.
