I found this empy sleve for a 7" single at the thrift. Strangely, John Urie & Associates seems to have been a production company based in Los Angeles that made TV commercials in the 60's. Maybe this was some sort of promitional material for the company or a Christmas present for the employees. The illustration is marked only (c) 1960, but it looks awfully like Joseph Low to me.

This gurdwara is associated with the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. It commemorates his meeting with Prince Muazzam, later Emperor Bahadur Shah, in 1707. The prince had asked him for help in the prince's battle for succession for the throne with his brother, after the death of Aurangzeb. Guru Sahib met the Prince near Humayun's Tomb, and together they drew up their strategy for battle. They watched elephant and bull fights organized for their entertainment. Guru Sahib promised to help the Prince if he would punish all those responsible for the treacherous killing of his sons and destroying his army and his city, Anandpur. Later, Guru Sahib helped the Prince defeat his brother and claim the throne.
Gurdwara Damdama Sahib (place of rest) was first built by Sardar Bhagel Singh in 1783, when a huge Sikh army under his command conquered Delhi. At first it was a small Gurdwara. Later Maharaja Ranjit Singh delegated his officials to renovate the Gurdwara. Consequently, a deorhi (Sikh architectural structure) was constructed, including buildings for priests and pilgrims. In 1984, a new building was constructed. Every year thousands of devotees assemble here to celebrate the festival called Hola Mohalla.
My collection of Tide Water Associated Oil Co. stuff. (Flying A)
G. Paul Getty owned Associated Oil Co. (on the wast coast) and Tide Water Oil Co. (on the east coast). He merged them together in 1938 to make Tide Water Associated Oil Co. Brand names they used were Flying A, Veedol, Tydol, and Cycol. The stuff here dates between the late 20s and early 60s with the earlier stuff coming from before the merger. No reproductions.
I recently did a shoot for Integrated Pain Associates & the Central Texas Day Surgery Center in Killeen, TX. We were taking headshots of the staff and various facility photos. A friend of mine is building their new website so all the photos were taken for the site.
The interior photos were challenging trying to mix all the artificial and natural light - keeping them bright and inviting, but trying to avoid too many blowouts. I ended up blending a few exposures for these.
Dyce Old Parish Church was built in the 13th or 14th century on a site that is associated with worship for many centuries prior to this, shown by a collection of early Christian and pre-Christian carved stones (see Dyce Pictish Stones). It is located on a slight rise south of the banks of the meandering River Don, north of Dyce.
There is open farmland to the west, south and east. A large modern cemetery is attached to the south of the graveyard boundary. The church was dedicated to St Fergus and was in use until 1872.
Description (exterior)
The church is long and narrow, a common footprint for medieval, pre-Reformation churches. It is rectangular and aligned east-west. Roughly-coursed randome granite rubble was used to build the church and larger, tooled stones are found at the corners (quoins) and door and window surrounds. The walls have survived to full height but the roof has not survived, leaving the church as a roofless shell today.
The prominent west gable faces the entrance gateway into the graveyard. There is a central rectangular doorway with a rectangular window above. On top of the gable is a tall bellcote built of good quality ashlar granite. There are openings to the east and west but the bell has gone. The opposite east gable largely mirrors the west gable, although the rectangular window is slightly larger. There was a stone finial on the apex (likely a cross), but it has broken off apart from the base.
The south elevation of the church has been altered a lot during its history, as shown by the blocked openings and later insertions. Towards the west end is a blocked pointed-arch Gothic doorway. The central section of the elevation has two rectangular windows, one large, the other much smaller, and these windows are later insertions. Next to these windows is a narrow, blocked window. Towards the east end of the south elevation are the remains of a moulded, pointed-arch doorway, which has been blocked and, at a later date, partially removed by the insertion of a large rectangular window. There are at least two other blocked openings at the east end, which appear to be rectangular windows of different sizes.
The north elevation of the church is now blank, but there was at one time a narrow pointed-arch doorway towards the west end, approximately opposite the blocked door in the south elevation. A notable feature of the north wall is that the lower half of the stonework is constructed in very small pebbles and rubble, while the upper courses of the wall is built with much larger granite blocks and rubble. This may show a certain amount of rebuilding of the church during its long history.
Description (interior)
The interior of the church is an empty shell today, with a gravel floor, apart from a recent slated lean-to structure at the west end. This was built to protect a number of Pictish carved symbol stones found in the church and graveyard.
Dyce Symbol Stones
The ruins of the Chapel of St Fergus at Dyce stand on a bluff on the south side of the River Don looking north over the small village of Cothall. Here you find the Dyce Symbol Stones, two large and several smaller Pictish stones, displayed in a shelter inside the western end of the chapel.
Finding the chapel and the stones is not an easy task, though there are signposts to help. The starting point is a minor road that curves around the north end of Aberdeen Airport, and from here you take a series of ever more minor roads. When you arrive, it feels almost like you are on an island, with the river cutting you off from the north and east, and the railway and industrial development from the south and west. But it is worth the effort when you arrive: the Chapel of St Fergus is an oasis of calm
The Chapel of St Fergus itself dates back to the 1200s, though most of the shell you see today owes more to later renovation and rebuilding, and more recent consolidation. Perhaps the main item of interest stands outside the west door, a low stone with a semi-circular hollowed-out top. Is it what remains of a broken font? A local story says it is a seat in which those who had broken church laws were compelled to sit as the congregation filed past.
Inside the chapel a slate-roofed shelter is home to the Dyce Symbol Stones. The large stone to the right of the door as you look at them, known as Dyce 1, probably dates back to the 500s. It carries two large Pictish symbols, a "beast", and a geometrical pattern known as a double disc and Z-rod. The significance of these patterns - if any - has never been resolved. The large stone to the left of the door, Dyce 2, may have been carved up to three hundred years later than Dyce 1, and dates back to the mid 800s. The main carving is of an elaborately patterned cross, around the base of which are a series of Pictish patterns.
Dyce 2 has been displayed so you can clearly see the side nearest the door. This contains a length of Ogham script, lettering formed by straight lines carved either side of a central line. The images on this page show the Ogham script being imaged by laser by Historic Environment Scotland, part of the continuing efforts to better understand these still mysterious stones.
St Fergus Church - Monument
The monument consists of the remains of St Fergus's Church (the old parish church of Dyce) and its burial ground.
The old parish church of Dyce, dedicated to St Fergus, is a pre-Reformation building, dating from the 13th or 14th century. It is rectangular in plan, measuring 17m E-W by 6.7m N-S, with walls 0.8m thick standing to roof level. The walls are rubble built. There is a bell-cote, ascribed to the 15th century, on the W gable, remains of a moulded gothic doorway in the S wall, and the base of a sacrament house in the N wall. The other doors and windows date, in their present form, from after the Reformation.
The original burial ground, which surrounds the church on all sides within a boundary wall, is no longer in use. A more recent cemetery, still in use, is attached to the SW.
Two large symbol stones and four smaller cross-inscribed stones recovered from the site are in the care of the Scottish Ministers.
The area is approximately rectangular, its edge defined by the boundary wall of the burial ground. It includes the boundary wall, the burial ground and the church, in which associated remains are likely to survive. The area measures approximately 50m W-E by 45m N-S .
The monument is of national importance because of the information that it provides, and has the potential to provide by archaeological investigation, concerning the architecture, religion, art, language and burial customs of the inhabitants of the region from the 7th to the 19th centuries. Its importance is enhanced by its association with Pictish period symbol stones, some with ogham inscriptions, and with other cross-incised stones. It is highly likely that the present church lies on the site of an earlier monument.

Gingee Fort or Senji Fort (also known as Chenji, Jinji or Senchi) in Tamil Nadu, India is one of the surviving forts in Tamil Nadu, India. It lies in Villupuram District, 160 kilometres from the state capital, Chennai, and is close to the Union Territory of Puducherry. The fort is so fortified, that Shivaji, the Maratha king, ranked it as the "most impregnable fortress in India" and it was called the "Troy of the East" by the British. The nearest town with a railway station is Tindivanam and the nearest airport is Chennai (Madras), located 150 kilometres away.
Originally the site of a small fort built by the Chola dynasty during the 9th century AD, Gingee Fort was modified by Kurumbar during the 13th century. As per one account, the fort was built duirng the 15–16th century by the Nayaks, the lietunants of the Vijayanagara Empire and who later became independent kings. The fort passed to the Marathas under the leadership of Shivaji in 1677 AD, Bijapur sultans, the Moghuls, Carnatic Nawabs, French and the British in 1761. The fort is closely associated with Raja Tej Singh, who unsuccessfully revolted against the Nawab of Arcot and eventually lost his life in a battle.
The Gingee Fort complex is on three hillocks: Krishnagiri to the north, Rajagiri to the west and Chandrayandurg to the southeast. The three hills together constitute a fort complex, each having a separate and self-contained citadel. The fort walls are 13 km and the three hills are connected by walls enclosing an area of 11 square kilometres. It was built at a height of 240 m and protected by a 24 m wide moat. The complex has a seven-storeyed Kalyana Mahal (marriage hall), granaries, prison cells, and a temple dedicated to its presiding Hindu goddess called Chenjiamman. The fortifications contain a sacred pond known as Aanaikulam. On the top of the hillock, there are minor fortifications. The fort, in modern times, is maintained and administered by the Archaeological Survey of India. The fort is one of the prominent tourist destinations in Villupuram district.
LEGEND AND ETYMOLOGY
The Bijapur Nawabs who held the fort from about 1660 to 1677 AD called it Badshabad, while the Marathas who succeeded them called it Chandry or Chindy. The Mughals, on their capture of the fort in 1698 A.D., named it Nusratgadh in honour of Nawab Zulfiqar Khan Nusrat-Jang, the commander-in-chief of the besieging army. Later, the English and the French called it Gingee or Jinji. The early Madras records of the English give the spelling Chingee or Chengey.As per Tamil legend, the tragic tale of Raja Tej Singh, popularly known in Tamil as Thesingu Raasan, is associated with the fort. The true life story of Tej Singh and his general, Mehboob Khan (aka Maavuthukaran), who were friends, has inspired many poems, street plays, and countless other stories. He was the son of Swarup Singh and revolted against the Nawab of Arcot, and was defeated and killed in the war that followed. Though Gingee became a part of the Nawab's territory in 1714, the young and courageous Tej Singh became a legend and his life, love and brave but tragic end were eulogised in various ballads.
HISTORY
The main source for the first two hundred years of the history of the place is the "Complete History of the Carnatic Kings" among the Mackenzie manuscripts. According to historian Narayan, a small village called Melacerri, located 4.8 km away from Gingee is called "Old Gingee" has traces of fortifications from about 1200 AD. Ananda Kon of the shepherd community (Konar), accidentally found a treasure in one of the cavities of the Western hill while grazing his sheep. Making himself the head of a small band of warriors, he defeated the petty rulers of the neighbouring villages and built a small fortress on Kamalagiri, which he renamed Anandagiri after himself. The Konar dynasty ruled Gingee from 1190 to 1330 AD, and was succeeded by the chief of a neighbouring place called Kobilingan, who belonged to the Kurumba caste and ascended the throne of Gingee. He was a feudatory of the powerful Cholas. Gingee came into the hands of various ruling dynasties of South India, starting from the Cholas.
Originally the site of a small fort built by the Chola dynasty during the 9th century AD, Gingee Fort was modified by Kurumbar while fighting the Cholas and again by the Vijayanagar empire during the 13th century. As per one account, the fort was built duirng the 15-16th century by the Gingee Nayaks, the lietunants of the Vijayanagara Empire and who later became independent kings. The fort was built at a strategic place to fend off any invading armies. It was further strengthened by the Marathas under the leadership of Shivaji in 1677 AD. He recaptured it from the Bijapur sultans who had originally taken control of the fort from the Marathas. During Aurangzeb's campaign in the Deccan, Shivaji's second son who had assumed the throne, Chhatrapati Rajaram, escaped to Ginjee and continued the fight with Moghuls from Ginjee. The fort was the seat of the Maratha Empire for a few months. The Moghuls could not capture the fort for seven years in spite of laying siege. The fort was finally captured in 1698, but not before Chhatrapati Rajaram escaped. It was later passed on to the Carnatic Nawabs who lost it to the French in 1750 before the British finally took control in 1761 despite losing it to Hyder Ali for a brief period. Raja Desinghu ruled Chenji during the 18th century.
ARCHITECTURE
The Gingee Fort complex is on three hillocks: Krishnagiri to the north, Rajagiri to the west and Chandrayandurg to the southeast. The three hills together constitute a fort complex, yet each hill contains a separate and self-contained citadel. Connecting them - forming an enormous triangle, a mile from north to south, punctuated by bastions and gateways giving access to the protected zones at the heart of the complex. The fort walls are 13 km and the three hills are connected by walls enclosing an area of 11 square kilometres. It was built at a height of 240 m and protected by a 24 m wide moat. It has a seven-storeyed Kalyana Mahal (marriage hall), granaries, prison cells, and a temple dedicated to its presiding Hindu goddess called Chenjiamman. The fortifications contain a sacred pond known as Aanaikulam. The walls of the fort are a mixture of the natural hilly terrain comprising the Krishnagiri, Chakkilidrug and Rajagiri hills, while the gaps were sealed with the main wall that measures 20 metres in thickness. On the top of the hillock, there are minor fortifications.
Water resources are usually sparse in South Indian forts, while it was well managed in the Citadel. There are two sweet water sources on the summit and below it there are three reservoirs for storage of rain water. Water for Kalyana Mahal was brought through earthenware pipes from reservoir located 500 m from it.
RAJAGIRI
The first hill, where the main fort is, is called Rajagiri. Originally it was known as Kamalagiri as well as Anandagiri. The fort was historically considered most impregnable. It is about 240 m in height. Its summit is cut off from communication and is surrounded by a deep, natural chasm that is about 9.1 m wide and 18 m deep. To gain entry into the citadel one had to cross the chasm with the help of a small wooden draw bridge. The naturally strong rock where the fortress is located, is further strengthened by the construction of embrasure walls and gateways along all possible shelves and precipitous edges. The citadel is reached by traversing through seven gates. This citadel contains important buildings apart from the living quarters of the royalty, like the stables, granaries, and meeting halls for the public, temples, mosques, shrines and pavilions. Kamalakanni Amman temple is present atop the Rajagiri hills. As per Hindu legend, the presiding deity, Kamalakanni, is believed to be the widow of demon king Acalamaccuran. Draupadi, a Hindu goddess, beheaded the hundred heads of the demon and Kamalakanni is believed to have protests that she would become a widow. Draupadi explains her similarities that she has no sexual relations, though married. This resulted in the ambiguous kanni suffix. Ranganathar Temple, bell tower, watch tower, cannon and draw bridge are located atop the hill.
The lower fort consists of Arcot Gate, Pondicherry Gate, which was probably improved by the French during their occupation (1751–1761), the Prison on top of Pondicherry Gate, Royal Battery, Venkataramanaswami Temple, Pattabhi Ramaswami Temple, Sadatulla Khan’s mosque, Chettikulam and Chakrakulam tanks, platform where Raja Desing was killed in a war, large stone image of Hanuman, prisoner’s well where the prisoners condemned to death were thrown and left to die of starvation. The inner fort consists of Kalyana Mahal, the royal stables, the ruined royal palace, Anaikulam tank, granaries, magazine and the shrine of Venugopalaswami. There is a site museum at the entrance of the fort set up by the Archeological Survey of India containing sculptures pertaining to periods and many dynasties that ruled Gingee. There are also guns and cannonballs made of stone, strewn about the fort.
KRISHNAGIRI
The second important hillock with an imposing citadel is known as Krishnagiri. It is also known as the English Mountain, perhaps because the British residents occupied the fort here, for some time. The Krishnagiri fort lies to the North of Tiruvannamalai road. It is smaller in size and height compared to the Rajagiri fort. A flight of steps of granite stones leads to its top. Another fort connected with Rajagiri with a low rocky ridge is called Chandrayan Durg, Chandragiri or St. George’s Mountain. The military and strategic value of this fort has been relatively less, but it has some interesting buildings of later period.
CHAKKILIYA DURG
The third fort for some reason is called Chakkiliya Durg or Chamar Tikri — meaning the fort of the cobblers. It is not known why it had acquired the name. Probably the royal saddlers and military shoemakers had set up their workshops here, as Gingee obviously was a military encampment. There is a smaller and less important fourth hill, the summit of which is also well fortified. There is nothing much left of Chandrayan Durg and Chakkilli Durg. Their flanks are now completely covered with thorny shrubs and stone pieces.
CULTURE
After the fort passed into British hands, it did not see any further action. The fort at Gingee was declared a National Monument in 1921 and was under the Archeological Department. The Tourism Department of India has tried to popularise this remote and oft-forgotten fort. Gingee today, with its ruined forts, temples and granaries, presents a different picture from the glorious splendor of its bygone days. But the remains of that glorious past speak volumes about the numerous invasions, warfare and bravery that it witnessed. The fort is maintained by the Archeological Department. An entry charge of ₹5 is charged for Indian citizens and SAARC countries and US$2 or ₹100 for all monuments inside Krishnagiri and Rajagiri forts.
