No invites please, I just want you to smile like I did when I saw this and reminded my childhood when we did the same to an opposing team when we play football (soccer)
It was the jacket that first caught my eye.
I was relaxing with some friends at the Dead Mule Club, unwinding after a long week, and enjoying the spring evening sun with a nice amber ale in front of me. Out onto the deck walks Mark Smith, instantly eye catching with his faded tuxedo jacket and relaxed gait, and I say to my friends, “I’ve got to get a portrait of this guy!”
It was actually a funny coincidence that this particular evening was the first time he’d worn the jacket in about 8 years, and I just happened to be there to capture it!
Mark is 59, and hails from Birkenhead in the northwest of England. He’s laughing at me here because of my string of erroneous guesses as to where he’s from- I can’t place his accent. He’s now living in Carrboro.
If you chat with Mark for awhile, you might find out some interesting things, and you can tell he’s got stories for you. Be sure to ask him about seeing Jimi Hendrix live, or the Beatles for that matter, about how the music scene was back home. Ask him to recommend you some good cyberpunk or sci-fi literature, or what “Ferry Cross the Mersey” is all about, how to grow organic tomatoes. Get him to tell you about how he ended a “which channel to watch” dispute with a pair of garden shears.
What he probably won’t tell you are the things about himself that you might divine from his stories- that Mark is a fundamentally fearless person, adventurous, courageous, and a lover of truth. After all, he has moved to another continent and set up a home, raised kids here, and at age 59 is looking to leave behind a career as a carpenter to go into silk screening!
I saw Mark again yesterday, and he was wearing the wine red twin to his other tux jacket. He’d also cut off all his hair, so apparently I captured quite a unique moment indeed. So if you’re ever at the Dead Mule, just listen out for a deep joyful laugh, or look out for a guy with a twinkle in his eye, trouble in a tux- and you just might get to meet Mark.
Almost everyone, at one time or another, wants to "see behind the curtain".
It can be career related -- what's going on with the ownership and what does my boss think of me?
It can be spiritual -- wanting to know is there a heaven, is there a hell, is God really there?
It can be financial -- am I going to have enough money to survive?
It can be a health issue -- why me, why do I have this illness?
It can be the future -- what is going to happen to me, to my family, to my friends, to our country?
I believe the truth is, if we were allowed to "see behind the curtain" as often as we wanted to, it would spoil the wonderful gift of not knowing what is coming. I also believe we were created to live one day at a time, to enjoy the mysteries of life and death, and to understand that one day we will certainly "see behind the curtain" at our appointed time.

This interior shot from the Green Hut, gives me a chance to introduce you to another hero of mine. The moment I laid eyes on this scene I knew two things: (1) This had to be in black and white, and (2) this reminded me of photographs of huts in Antarctica taken by Frank Hurley.
Frank Hurley (1885-1962) was without doubt one of Australia's greatest photographers. He was a member of two of the most famous exploratory expeditions in history. Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911-1913) and the ill-fated Ernest Shackleton expedition (1914-1916).
I won't go into detail here about both these adventures (information is readily available on the internet and film versions of Shackleton's adventures have been very popular), but suffice to say Hurley worked in unbelievably trying conditions. He worked in large format on glass plates and had to use makeshift darkroom facilities.
When Shackleton's "Endurance" was trapped in the ice and about to break up, Hurley risked his life to salvage his priceless plates, literally jumping clear as the ship sank beneath the ice forever.
Hurley's photographs are collected in the Australian National Library and should be viewed by everyone interested in the history of photography. Digital photography is such a breeze compared to this work. www.nla.gov.au/pictures/frank-hurley-antartic-photographs
[Please excuse that digital librarian who can't spell AntarCtica.]
Hurley went on to have a long career, and yet as a war photographer in both the first and second world wars, he proved he was a true survivor.
it's lunch time, you've been on the phone all morning, you're tired and hungry, you put your hat and shades on and bout two steps away from stepping out for a long needed break and a bite to eat, then the phone rings, it's your boss...what do you do?
I took a selfie and sat back down...
This photo shows a number of chess pawns lined accprding to their size. It is a free and easy allegory (or maybe a harsh truth) referring to some professional career. And what is your opinion?

By Indian artist Satish Gujral (1925 – 2020)
Part of an exhibition in the MAS museum in Antwerp in 2023.
Satish Gujral was an internationally acclaimed artist, muralist, sculptor, architect and writer. In his quest for a unique Indian artistic identity, free of European influences, Gujral came to be known as one of the pioneers of modernism in post-Independent India.
During the course of his seven-decade career, he also designed several notable buildings, including the Belgium Embassy in New Delhi.
Photo = top part. A variety of materials were assembled in a geometric composition. The work is an attempt by Gujral to combine modern design with the traditional use of colour of India.
Snapped this one on my way out the door, going to work in the morning. New suit and new purse.........I felt absolutely wonderful even though it's a Monday morning. :-)
New to Kowloon Motor Bus as their 3BL59, registered DD3601, MIL5574 was one of 12 similar vehicles imported into the UK during 2001/2 by Brightbus. Its entire UK career has been spent as a school bus. Note the rudimentary demist unit - a dash mounted heater box with pipes either side directed at the windscreens.
Over 50 years ago as a young farm teenager, baling hay, milking cows and cleaning out hog sheds by hand guided my career decisions more than almost anything. In this photo, the past and the present of farming lie side by side. Round bales replaced the back breaking work of loading and unloading bales on a hay trailer. Few windmills in Minnesota still pump water and the old graineries have been largely replaced by newer methods of drying crops.

Lode clay deposit was discovered in 1953 by the geologist J.Slienis. Ten years later industrial extraction of clay for brick-making was started. The clay-pit became world famous when the geologist V.Kuršs in 1970 first time in the history of the world discovered well preserved fossils of Upper Devonian armoured fish and Strunius kurshi fish. Still nowhere else fish fossils in such good condition have been discovered; part of the fossils can be viewed in the expositions and funds of Latvian Museum of Natural History. Nowadays clay is extracted by the company „Lode“ which produces finishing, oven-chimney, and construction bricks, as well as other clay items. The Lode armoured fish deposit is a protected nature monument.

The front of Go-Ahead London Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini WVL3 (LG02KGV), now sadly sitting in Stockwell Garage being robbed of parts before going for scrap. Its career was ended when it collided with Abellio's 2510 (YY64TZK) in Streatham on January 4th 2017 whilst on route 249, and since the 333 was lost at the end of January, it was pointless to repair it, so it is now being cannibalised before going for the scrapheap. The damage at the accident though only occurred to where the glass is cracked on the front right hand side, the rest of the front has been cannibalised.

Matt Hagan was a great actor, until a tragic car accident left his face deformed. Sitting in the hospital bed, he believed his career was over. He was then approached by Roland Dagget who gave him Renuyu, a face cream that could do in minutes what would take plastic surgery years. Hagan was given an unlimited supply, but with a catch: He had to commit crimes for Dagget, generally masquerading as other businessmen. He eventually realized he couldn't do these crimes anymore, and decided he would have to get much more of the Renuyu cream on his own. When he came to steal more; however, he was greeted by some of Dagget's thugs, who were ordered to "deal" with Hagan. How they dealt with him was by overdosing him with the Renuyu formula. They thought It would kill him, but in instead he was mutated into a clay-like monster, with the ability to shape-shift. Christening himself Clayface, Hagan tried to get revenge on Dagget by murdering him. He came close, but he was stopped by the Batman. Now Hagan lives a life of crime, a shadow of what he once was.
This is another one I've been planning for a while. Thanks to the bricklink order that came today, I was able to complete it.

Janette Scott (1938) is a retired English actress, who started her career as a child actress at the age of 3. From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, she was a leading lady in British films in which she co-starred with Terry-Thomas, Ian Carmichael, and Laurence Olivier. She is best remembered from the line "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills" in the opening song of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Scott gave up her film career upon marrying singer Mel Torme.
Thora Janette Scott was born in 1938 in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. She is the daughter of actors Jimmy Scott and Thora Hird and began her acting career as a child actress known as Janette Scott. She made her film debut only 3-years-old in the British war film Went the Day Well? (Alberto Cavalcanti, 1942), adapted from a story by Graham Greene. The film was produced by Michael Balcon of Ealing Studios and served as unofficial propaganda for the war effort. It tells of how an English village is taken over by German paratroopers. After a few bit roles, she had her first big part as Jennifer in No Place for Jennifer (Henry Cass, 1950) with Leo Genn and Rosamund John. She played a young girl, who experiences a trauma when her parents' divorce. Another big role followed in the sports comedy The Galloping Major (Henry Cornelius, 1951), starring Basil Radford. The title is taken from the song 'The Galloping Major', and the plot was centered on gambling at the horse racing track. She also co-starred in the British 20th Century Fox production No Highway in the Sky/No Highway (Henry Koster, 1951), starring James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich. Scott appeared in the British Technicolor biographical drama The Magic Box (John Boulting, 1951). The film stars Robert Donat as William Friese-Greene, who first designed and patented one of the earliest working cinematic cameras. Told in flashback, the film details Friese-Greene's tireless experiments with the 'moving image', leading inexorably to a series of failures and disappointments, as others hog the credit for the protagonist's discoveries. Scott was briefly (along with Jennifer Gay) one of the so-called 'Children's Announcers' providing continuity links for the BBC's children's TV programs in the early 1950s. At the age of 14, Scott wrote her autobiography, 'Act One'. During the 1950s, she also appeared in such films as the divorce drama Background/Edge of Divorce (Daniel Birt, 1953) starring Valerie Hobson, the musical comedy As Long as They're Happy (J. Lee Thompson, 1955) starring Jack Buchanan and Diana Dors, and as Cassandra in the Hollywood epic Helen of Troy (Robert Wise, 1956), based on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Scott also had the leading role in the romance Now and Forever (Mario Zampi, 1956). It was Scott's first adult role in which she got her first screen kiss.
In the late 1950s, Janette Scott became a popular leading lady. She appeared with Ian Carmichael in the comedy Happy Is the Bride (Roy Boulting, 1958), and with Anna Neagle and Frankie Vaughan in The Lady Is a Square (Herbert Wilcox, 1958). She is known to American audiences for her role as the parson's wife in The Devil's Disciple (Guy Hamilton, 1959) starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Laurence Olivier. One of her other well-known roles is April Smith in the British comedy School for Scoundrels (Robert Hamer, 1960), based on the 'one-upmanship' books by Stephen Potter, in which Ian Carmichael and Terry-Thomas competed for her attention. Scott is referenced to in the song 'Science Fiction/Double Feature', the opening number from The Rocky Horror Show and its film version The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975) for her participation in The Day of the Triffids (Steve Sekely, 1962): "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." The British Science Fiction film stars Howard Keel and Nicole Maurey and was loosely based on the 1951 novel of the same name by John Wyndham. She later appeared in the Hammer thriller Paranoiac (Freddie Francis, 1963) with Oliver Reed, Siege of the Saxons (Nathan H. Juran, 1963), set in the time of King Arthur, and the American horror-comedy The Old Dark House (William Castle, 1963), a remake of the 1932 film by James Whale. The photo of the postcard was produced for The Beauty Jungle/ Contest Girl (Val Guest, 1964), about " the beauty profession and all of its hypocrisy and sordid publicity stunts", according to Wikipedia. Ordinarily a brunette, Scott dyed her hair blonde to take on a sort of sex bomb persona for the film. Her final films were the American Science-Fiction Crack in the World (Andrew Marton, 1965) a 'doomsday disaster movie' filmed in Spain, and the American comedy Bikini Paradise/White Savage (Gregg Tallas, 1967). In the meantime, she had married American Jazz singer Mel Torme and gave up her career to raise a family. Janette Scott has been married three times: to Canadian singer and TV host Jackie Rae (1959-1965; divorced), Mel Tormé (1966-1977; divorced), and William Rademaekers (since 1981). With Mel Tormé, she has two children, actress Daisy Tormé (1969) and songwriter James Tormé (1973). In 1997, she returned to the screen for a cameo in the popular TV series Last of the Summer Wine in the episode There Goes the Groom. Although she is credited in the cast of the British film How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (Robert B. Weide, 2008), Scott did not return to the cinema. Her character - the deceased mother of the Simon Pegg character - is seen only in flashbacks as a very young woman, extracts from her film Now and Forever (Mario Zampi, 1956).

We drove in the morning from Laâyoune to the coastal town of Tarfaya, exploring the coast en route and later the town itself. The region is historically very interesting: called either the Cape Juby Strip, the Tarfaya Strip or the Tekna Zone (after the Tekna, the native Saharawi tribe). The strip, once part of Spanish Sahara (colony known as Villa Bens), is now the buffer zone between Morocco-administered disputed territory of Western Sahara and Morocco. It was unified with Morocco in 1958 after the Ifni war.
Interestingly, the town is only 100km from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The famous French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry lived in Tarfaya for two years (1927-1928) before writing his masterpiece The Little Prince. He served as station manager here during his career as an airmail pilot.
Tarfaya was occupied by the British in the 1880s. Under the leadership of Donald Mackenizie, they constructed this building, now known as Casa Del Mar or Casamar on the shore. Casa Del Mar, meaning the house of the sea in Spanish, was once inhabited by more than 400 British businessmen who were deployed on the shores of Trafaya. They built Casa Del Mar as a commercial centre for their business exchanges with merchants from African trade routes, such as from Timbuktu.

(April 2007 Auction Catalog) 1988-89 Mario Lemieux Pittsburgh Penguins Photo-Matched Game Worn Helmet - A super helmet from Super Mario! Lemieux gave this black Cooper helmet a good workout during the Penguins’ road games and there’s definitely a season’s worth of use on it. In fact, we believe that it was worn for a few seasons during the 1980’s, and quite possibly his rookie campaign in 1985. Cooper stickers on both sides and the front. The Cooper sticker on the front has been placed over a Cooper logo that was painted over before the sticker, now present, was affixed.

Mario Lemieux's autograph has certainly evolved through time. As a rookie and for the first few years of his career, Lemieux's signature was legible, featuring a large "M" followed by a lower case "a" and a series of bumps and lines. It was during this time that Lemieux was an accommodating signer via the mail and in person. As his popularity grew through the years, Lemieux instructed someone else to sign his mail due to the overwhelming volume of requests. In addition, his in-person signing habits drastically changed with more and more collectors left out in the cold when pursuing his signature. His last name, similar to his first, featured a large "L" followed by a lower case "e" and a series of bumps and lines. His current autograph, the same one he has featured since the late 1980s, resembles a "ML" followed by his jersey number (66). LINK - www.psacard.com/autographfacts/hockey/mario-lemieux/95#:~....
Mario Lemieux OC CQ (born October 5, 1965) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He played parts of 17 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Pittsburgh Penguins between 1984 and 2005, and he assumed ownership of the franchise in 1999. Nicknamed "the Magnificent One", "Le Magnifique", and "Super Mario", Lemieux is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time for his combination of size, strength, athleticism, and creativity.
Drafted first overall by the Penguins in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Lemieux led Pittsburgh to consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1991 and 1992. Under his ownership, the Penguins won additional titles in 2009, 2016, and 2017. He is the only man to have his name on the Cup both as a player and owner. He also led Team Canada to an Olympic gold medal in 2002, a championship at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, and a Canada Cup in 1987. He won the Lester B. Pearson Award as the most outstanding player voted by the players four times, the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player during the regular season three times, the Art Ross Trophy as the league's points leader six times, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoffs MVP in 1991 and 1992. He is the only player to score one goal in each of the five possible situations in a single NHL game, a feat he accomplished in 1988. At the time of his retirement, he was the NHL's seventh-highest career points scorer with 690 goals and 1,033 assists. He ranks second in NHL history with a 0.754 career goals-per-game average, behind Mike Bossy (0.762). He ranks second in NHL history with a 1.129 career assists-per-game average and a 1.883 points-per-game average, both behind Wayne Gretzky (1.320 and 1.921, respectively).
Lemieux was never able to play a full season, and played in 70 or more games in a season on only six occasions during his career - four of which came before the age of 25. Lemieux's career was plagued by health problems that limited him to 915 of a possible 1,430 regular season games between the opening of the 1984–85 campaign and the conclusion of the 2005–2006 campaign. Lemieux's NHL debut was on October 11, 1984 and his final game took place on December 16, 2005. His numerous ailments included spinal disc herniation, Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic tendinitis of a hip-flexor muscle, and chronic back pain so severe that other people had to tie his skates. He retired on two occasions due to these health issues, first in 1997 after battling lymphoma before returning in 2000, and then a second and final time in 2006 after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Lemieux also missed the entire 1994–95 season due to Hodgkin's lymphoma. Despite his lengthy absences from the game, his play remained at a high level upon his return to the ice; he won the Hart Trophy and scoring title in 1995–96 after sitting out the entire previous season. He was on pace for 188 points, but only played in 70 games. He was also a finalist for the Hart Trophy when he made his comeback in 2000. In 1999, he bought the then-bankrupt Penguins and their top minor-league affiliate, the American Hockey League's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, and was the team's principal owner until selling controlling interest in the team to Fenway Sports Group in 2021. However, he remains part-owner and chairman of the board.
The Hockey Hall of Fame inducted Lemieux immediately after his first retirement in 1997, waiving the normal three-year waiting period; upon his return in 2000, he became the third Hall of Famer (after Gordie Howe and Guy Lafleur) to play after being inducted. Lemieux's impact on the NHL has been significant: Andrew Conte of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review called him the saviour of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and after Lemieux's retirement, Wayne Gretzky commented, "You don't replace players like Mario Lemieux ... The game will miss him." Bobby Orr called him "the most talented player I've ever seen." Orr, along with Bryan Trottier and numerous fans, speculated that if Lemieux had had fewer health issues, his on-ice achievements would have been much greater. In 2017, he was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players". He was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2004, and into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2008.

Two Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 buses that were originally new to London operations are pictured on Princes Street in Edinburgh with rather different roles now.
Leading the duo is McGill's Eastern Scottish operated Bright Bus Tours CKZ 35 - 2908 - Previously BF60 UUJ - Iain Murray - which had previously spent time in 2022 working for Xplore Dundee before becoming part of the Bright Bus fleet. It wears McGill's take on the Bright Bus orange livery which was only ever applied to the six of these that joined the operation.
Behind is Lothian Buses operated LXZ 5409 - 1024 - Previously BF60 VHR - still with all its roof present and working a service on route 4 towards Fairmilehead. It wears Lothian's Fleet Of The Future livery. So two buses with near-identical starts in life that turned into very different diverging career paths to then just end up seeing each other again anyway lol.
