Comments on the CASE Team by Michael Ferner:
"Three Case cars had been built for the 1911 Indy 500, all three basically identical, with 4-cylinder T-head engines built by the Wisconsin Engine Co., 4 1/4 * 5 inches (283.7 CID/4649 cc). It does not really look plausible to assume that there were more cars, but we should investigate: what about Strang's car at Jacksonville (March 31)? Occam's razor leads us to suggest that it was the same car he raced at Indy, and indeed, looking at the pictures of the two unpainted cars, Strang's looks slightly "used", while Jagersberger's has a fresh finish. Did the team ever enter more than three cars? Not to the best of my knowledge. And the accidents? No "terminal" damage? The most difficult question, as only very few pictures exist to help us out. But we mustn't forget that in those times, almost anything was repaired, over and over again - even the engines were likely special developments, and any damage, even major engine failures would be put back into action after suitable time in the workshop, as there would be no complete spare units, only parts. Yet we should be prepared for "transformations", i.e. cars being rebuilt with more or less major changes in appearance, and maybe even specification - this should become more clear in the process of our survey."

The three 1911 Indy 500 CASE cars:
""Won many dirt track races" is perhaps a bit of embellishment, but Jagersberger did win one big meeting at the Hawthorne track in Cicero/Chicago back in June, with the car still in its Indy specification, against a field containing Hughie Hughes in the Mercer, Bob Burman (Benz) , Ralph de Palma (Simplex) and Eddie Hearne (Fiat). The cars were rebuilt during the summer months, and Jagersberger crashed at a dirt track meeting in Columbis/SC early in November, putting an end to his promising career. He was then driving a sister car, called the "Eagle" which was later renamed as the "Bullet" and run until the late teens with many famous drivers at the wheel, including Hearne, Bill Endicott and Fred Horey. I believe that the "Bullet" was originally Will Jones's Indy ride." Michael Ferner
And this comment from the same website by someone named Lisa had alot of insight about Ruso: “My mom was the last postmaster at Ruso’s post office, which was located in what was the old bank building (also a residence). The post office closed sometime in the 2000s. The sign that the author speaks of that mentions 1981 was in commemoration of Ruso’s 75th Anniversary Celebration. It is a shame that the church grounds are in the shape that they are in now – it’s not necessarily the fault of the few residents (most of whom have no connection to the church), but rather the person who purchased the property and is using it as a junkyard. My great-grandfather was a carpenter and helped build the church and the furnishings inside. I remember going to bridal and baby showers and anniversary celebrations in the church basement as a young girl. I also remember softball games being played in the baseball diamond. The stone building across from the baseball diamond was the old jail. Both of my grandfathers and many other relatives attended school in Ruso. My grandmother worked in the bar that Deputy Sheriff Bob speaks of and I remember hearing about the fire. Ruso used to have 5 grain elevators in its heyday. I often wish I could timetravel and visit Ruso during its height! The Ruso Record newspaper is available for viewing on microfilm at the State Archives in Bismarck and has a lot of interesting information from the busy days of the town.”

Like in September last year, we went to London to meet up with Gemma's Brother Graham, his Husband Bruce and their friends who were over from Florida!
We also met up with our lovely friend Vicki.
We spent all Friday night in The Friendly Society, our favourite bar in Soho. Such a quirky, diverse place which lives up to its name!
We had such an amazing time!
The train at Hull station.

The cover notes comment "In this remarkable book Alister McGrath challenges (Richard) Dawkins on the very ground he holds most sacred - rational argument - and disarms the master. Francis Collins, Director of the Human Genome Project".
Alister McGrath is Professor of Historical Theology and Oxford University, also holding a PhD in molecular biophysics makes him highly qualified to address the issues raised by Dawkins.
This is a slightly heavier read than the book previously posted but is written in a style that those without a scientific or theological background can follow. If you want serious consideration of theological and philosophical argument then these books are a a good read. Please note their content goes way past the shallow presentation of issues by the natural history programmes typically aired by TV channels.

Gemma came to Hull for the weekend and we went for our first visit to the Hull Comedy Lounge to see a few acts, including our friends Chris Lumb and Phil Smith, aka The Halls Of Ridiculous.
These days we generally try to get at the front, and this was no different - we were front and centre!
It was a great show and a really nice venue. We've been a couple of times since!
After the comedy we went for a couple of drinks at The Star.
Photos that were used in my Downpatrick Exhibition over the first 11 days of July. Many thanks to those that went to see it and leave me a comment.
Most of these images are already on my photostream but are either in colour or different in some kinda of way.
The Culloden was built in 1876 by a Mr. William Auchinleck Robinson, JP and former MP. It took two and a half years to complete, and most of the stone came from Scotland by boat, arriving in the County Down fishing village of Portaferry and being brought to the site by horse and cart. Mr Robinson carefully chose his site in Cultra within the townland of Craigavad, and only 6 miles from the centre of Belfast. He was conscious of the fact that its situation on the Eastern side of Belfast Lough had certain climatic advantages. The site benefited from the shelter of the Holywood Hills, and the cold North and North Easterly winds seemed to loose their strength as they crossed the expanse of the Lough before reaching Craigavad. Consequently the locality's temperature was about 3 degrees higher than in Belfast!
Mr Robinson died in 1884, and the property which he had named "Culloden House" in honour of his wife, was conveyed by his widow, Lady Elizabeth Jane Culloden, to the representative Church Body of the Church of Ireland. So at the end of the last Century, Culloden House came to be the official residence of the Church of Ireland Bishop of the Diocese, and was known as the Bishop's Palace. Previously the Bishops had resided at "Ardtullagh", a residence at Knocknagoney near Holywood, but this property was bought in 1886 by the War Department for use as Barracks. The Barracks are still in use today by the British Army, and are known as Palace Barracks.
The Bishop of Down, Dromore and Connor, the Right Reverend Thomas James Willand took up residence in Culloden House in 1898. In subsequent years three Bishops lived at the Culloden, and possibly four, as it is not clear whether Bishop CTP Grierson ever lived there or not! During the tenure of Bishop John Baptist Crozier a private chapel, the Jeremy Taylor Memorial Chapel, was dedicated within the house. During the period when Bishop Crozier was Bishop of the Diocese, the famous musician, Percy French often stayed at the Palace. In fact, Bishop Crozier was actually Godfather to Percy French's second daughter!
During the 1920's, the Church sold Culloden House to the late Sir John Campbell, a celebrated Belfast gynaecologist and Member of Parliament. In April 1959 Culloden House was purchased from Sir John's son, Robert Campbell for the sum of £10,000 by Ulster farmer Mr Thomas C. Reid, who was then Chairman of the Northern Ireland Ploughing Association. The house then was bought in 1962 by Mr Rutledge White of White's Home Bakery Limited, and was opened as a hotel, comprising of 11 bedrooms, the following year under the management of Mr White's son in law, Mr Roberts. The Hastings Hotels Group purchased the premises in June 1967, and over the course of the years, under the enlightened direction of Dr Billy Hastings, the Culloden has been transformed in size and luxury. It is of course pleasing that the extensions have not detracted from the hand-cut stonework of the original building, and the chapel which was dedicated nearly a hundred years ago, is today used as the hotel's bar!
In 1996, the Culloden became the first hotel in Northern Ireland to be granted 5 star status. In due course, a Health Club and Spa were added - offering a wide range of body, beauty and relaxation treatments using the famous ESPA range of products. After several major renovations and extensions, the hotel now boasts 79 deluxe bedroom suites, 11 luxurious self-catering apartments, 6 private banqueting suites and a luxurious Spa. The hotel is the first choice of any VIPs coming to Belfast - politicians, pop stars and sporting heros! Former guests include, Tony Blair, Tom Jones, Sir Cliff Richard, Sir James Galway, Bono from U2, Robbie Williams, Ainsley Harriot, Michael Ball, Chris Rea, Kenneth Brannagh, Dolly Parton, Alan Whicker, John Major, Lionel Ritchie, Westlife, Ronan Keating, The Corrs, Lloyd Grossman, Ben Elton, the 1998 World Cup Winning French Football team, and the English Football team, captained by David Beckham!

Of late I have been getting a lot of hate comments on my posts pertaining to my religious sets , I try to ignore it or delete it, but when I see a very dangerous message attacking the secular spirit of my character as a last recourse I block the person.
There may be a lot of stuff on Flickr that I may not like, but I dont see it nor do I make any adverse comments.. matter of fact I am not a Flickr browser, I only see pictures of my friends and contacts.
I firmly believe in Freedom of Expression but it should not denigrate my religious beliefs , the color of my skin ,or my person or choice of gender..or the Hijda sets on my photo stream.
I set my privacy permission as follows..
Who will be able to see, comment on, or add notes

I have sent a message to Flickr customer care how someone who is not my contact can breach my Flickr privacy as regards to my comment option.
"This is to show you that my privacy and permission is marked friends and family so how come anyone comments on my post , someone who is not even my contact just a free Flickr member.
Or is the free Flickr membership to harass a pro Flickr member."
Even pro members should not harass Free members ..for me like you Flickr is a home away from home we come here to share our pictures out thoughts our happiness and our pain.Flickruniverse is a Brotherhood of Peace Hope and Harmony.
I firmly believe Comment Moderation would be an ideal tool.. I cant go on blocking every bigot on Flickr..
By Comment Moderation I get the fundamental right to read a comment before it is published on my post.
I have nothing against comments ..whether constructive or otherwise , but hate comments attacking my religious beliefs I wont tolerate.
