A good Ceylon has a deep red and brownness to the liquid. The edges turn suddenly orange/yellow against a white cup.
I just like the chrome.
These figures don't seem to based off of any thing BG related made in 1996 ?
I guess Trendmasters took liberties with the character designs. Instead of making identical to their 70s counterparts ?
And they don't look like the new BG series that came out either..
Not really digging the gigantic gun ! That is Trendmasters for you :)
I love the Mars Attacks figures they did. Their guns are too big as well though !.
Trendmaster's toys are kind of like Toy Biz toy's from the 90s for me. I didn't care for most of what they made. But they made so many different lines. That I couldn't help but find some stuff I liked.
"The Ceylon Covered Bridge is located in Congressional Township 25 North, Sections 21 & 16, and Range 14 East two miles northeast of Geneva on County Road West 950 South, Adams County (latitude: 40°36'51.36"N; longitude 84°56'34.42"W). Originally crossing the Wabash River, over time the river shifted leaving the structure straddling a back channel. Of the 23 known covered bridges to have once traversed this important river this is the last still standing."
I was at home sick for a week, so I broke out the sewing machine and worked on this dress whenever I wasn't lying down watching TV. I love it!
You can find the pattern here:
Here is two King George V 2 cent stamps. The first is an overprint "War Stamp" its issue was on November 17th 1918 and essentially was a war tax stamp. From what I've seen, which is very limited, wartime stamps, surcharges, taxes etc were typically of a lower quality paper and printing.
.
The second is an earlier definitive stamp which was issued in 1912. It carries a cancellation from Slave Island, Ceylon which is just south of the capitol city of Colombo. This postmark was much easier to find than most. The towns on Ceylon have a tendency to have names a mile long. When you have a partial postmark and there are 100 towns that end in "uduwa" well you seen the delima! This definitive stamp was issued in 1912. Note the overall superior appearance of this issue.

Ceylon Frogmouth, also called Sri Lanka Frogmouth, is a scarce endemic resident in South India and Sri Lanka. The Frogmouths are a group of nocturnal birds mainly found in the tropical forests. The Ceylon Frogmouth is a highly adapted forest bird with froglike croaking call and shape of the head. At night, it hunts insects and beetles with its large gape.
Frogmouth is about 23 cm long. It looks large-headed, and has a large flattened hooked bill and huge frog-like gape. The female is rufous, lightly spotted with white. The male is grey and more heavily spotted. Frogmouths blend brilliantly with the surrounding of its day roosting perch, and roost everyday at the same location. The flight appears weak and fluttery.
Ceylon Frogmouth
Frogmouths build nests on woody climber, dense branches of trees or wooden platforms. They lay 1 or 2 white eggs, which both sexes incubate, usually the female by night, and the male by day. Frogmouths sleep horizontally or lengthwise on the branch of a tree with their heads up and eyes closed. While sleeping no one can easily identify or spot the bird because of its specific colour which perfectly matches with the colour of the surrounding. Frogmouth is best located at night by its song, which is a loud descending cackly and frog-like series of Klock-klock-klock-klock-klock calls. It has the quality of sound produced by rattling pebbles. This is the call of the male and it is often answered by the female whose call is low long harsh Krrshhhh.
Ceylon Frogmouth was first recorded by Dr. Salim Ali in 1930s in Thattekkad. Later it was rediscovered in circa 1990 by ornithologist Dr.R Sugathan, from the same sanctuary. Dr. R Sugathan the famous ornithologist and a student of Dr. Salim Ali.
