Place: Guangzhou, Guangdong Province
Chinese name: 荣威RX5 (róngwēi RX5)
Year of launch: 2016
The Roewe brand emerged after SAIC failed to acquire the Rover marque from BMW in 2005, instead it was sold to Ford in 2006. The carmakers probably feared SAIC would make SUVs competing with Land Rover... SAIC purchased technology relating to the Rover 75, but most assets were bought by Nanjing Automobile (NAC). NAC had the rights on the MG brand. In 2007 Nanjing Automobile merged with the much larger SAIC Group, which means SAIC is now controlling both Roewe and MG. Roewe's first product was the 750 launched in 2006, a revised and extended sedan based on the Rover 75. It was followed by the 550 based on the same underpinnings in 2008 and the new compact sedan 350 in 2010.
The Roewe RX5 SUV was launched in 2016, succeeding the SsangYong Kyron-based W5. Unlike its predecessor, the RX5 is selling like mad, with almost 20,000 units a month. Last week Roewe launched a more compact SUV (4,40 m), the RX3.

Würzburg is een stad met overzichtelijke afmetingen en de trams die er tijdens mijn eerste bezoek in 1977 dienst deden, waren compact. Ook de grootte van het in 1954 opgeleverde stationsgebouw is afgestemd op de behoefte van een provinciestad. Het voor de jaren vijftig karakteristieke stationsgebouw is ontworpen door architect Hans Kern. De kraam met worstjes voor de uitgang van het station ontbreekt uiteraard niet.
De enkelgelede Düwag-tram heeft ook deuren aan de linker zijde. Op het achterbalkon is een hulpstuurstand aangebracht. De wagens konden zodoende bij behoefte in tweerichtingbedrijf gebruikt worden. Primair zijn de wagens echter voor eenrichtingbedrijf ingericht. Men sprak in dit geval ook wel van anderhalfrichtingwagens. Op de kopwand zien we de verschillende contactdozen voor bijwagenbedrijf. Destijds werd er op werkdagen nog met kleine tweeassige bijwagens achter deze gelede trams gereden.
Tram 233 maakt deel uit van een serie van tien enkelgelde zesassers die in 1967 en 1968 door Düwag werden geleverd. Vanwege het krappe profiel van vrij ruimte zijn de koppen sterk afgeschuind. In 1982 werden de wagens door het invoegen van een nieuwe tussenbak verlengd tot dubbelgelede achtassers.

The final to my future-auto exploration. This time, based on several retro-future compact-car designs (including by Syd Mead of course). Ironically, this is the only of the three that actually fits a full figure.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
and I'm meaning in a good way! He has a nice short back,and is put together fairly well. [I think,lol] Took these pics for his markings
To me, it would seem that a dandelion bloom would be somehow different than this. I think that it's because a dandelion's fibers are all so scattered, at first glance, that it seems unlikely that they start out so orderly. Then the reasoning kicks in that dandelions use air dispersal to get their offspring away from the parent plant. Of course, then, there isn't a random combination of structures. They must be grown specifically to take advantage of being both light and fluffy.
Still with me? Gone to take a snooze?
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
These tiny leaves are sort of peculiar. I don't know if the plant is dehydrated or if it's just a part of the physiology of the plant, but the stem of the leaf looks rather flat, doesn't it? Plants are such bizarre creatures in the first place when you compare them to animals.
Almost exclusively do they not rely on other animals for direct nutrition. Almost all of them are rooted in one way or another to a substrate. Their gross anatomy is so unlike ours.
Then again. Earth teems with plants. Maybe we're the odd ones.

I must be one of the very few people who don't like the Petri Color 35. There, I've said it. Don't get me wrong, from the collector's standpoint it is a great camera: Great looks, intuitive design, a marvel of camera engineering, all this from a maker of budget cameras who tried (and partially succeded) to come up with a "Rollei 35 killer" at a time when Rollei was still a premium name in the camera business.
Me, I like to judge cameras as a user first and the Color 35 has a very serious drawback for a viewfinder guess-focus camera: There is no way to focus the lens without bringing the camera to your eye, as there is no distance scale on the retracting lens barrel. You have to either keep the camera at eye level throughout focusing (with the added risk of getting your finger in your eye while turning the focusing knob at the back) in order to watch the needle move over the distance indicators in the viewfinder, or use it hyperfocally which somehow defeats the whole purpose of having manual control over aperture and thus DOF. All this led me to sell the Color 35 I had and declare the original Rollei 35 (which gives you the opportunity to fully control every aspect of shooting without the need to bring the camera at eye level other than at the exact moment of framing) as the undisputed winner of this duel.
Now to the camera pictured here: After the commercial success of the Color 35, Petri decided to release another camera based on it, retaining some of its virtues (compact size, retractable lens) but replacing the fully manual exposure with a fully automatic one which would make the camera much more appealing to the casual user. This way, the Petri Color 35E (for "Electronic") was born. Wisely enough, Petri added a distance indicator on the lens barrel, correcting the fundamental drawback of the Color 35. With time, the name changed a bit, the camera also existed as "Petri 35E" then renamed "Petri Micro Compact" which also involved a change in finish from the classic chrome to black. The latter can also be found as "Carena Micro Compact".
Sadly, as the camera evolved, it slowly lost the good build quality that characterised the first Color 35, probably reflecting the gradual decline of Petri into bankruptcy. Although the size is identical to the Color 35 and features like the completely removable back or the freely rotating strap lugs remain, almost all metal has been replaced by plastic, resulting in an overall feel very close to a toy camera, much worse than what pictures of the camera online suggest at first glance. Everything feels very flimsy and easily breakable. The VF is decent but without any exposure or distance indicators at all and the only amenity to the user is a battery test button. Perhaps the early Color 35E model retains some of the quality of its mechanical sibling, but working ones are rather uncommon to find at low prices, probably a spill-over effect from the reputation and collectability of the original Color 35.
To those collecting Fashion Royalty from the beginning....can anyone tell me the story of this compact?

The small size of the Black Hills Central's Baldwin 2-6-6-2 tank locomotives--38 foot wheelbase-- can really be seen from above--in this aerial view, #108 has topped the steep initial climb out of Hill City and is now winding between the hills on a light downgrade before the drop into Keystone.
I initially wanted to have a few small cars that would fit into an autorack, similar to the Vert-A-Pac. The train car didn't work out, but the regular cars did. I will now use them for my LUG's city layout.
Two 1995 BMW 318ti's per 24 count case of the latest Matchbox Case J assortment which is handy as I am a fan of this casting despite its odd proportions which gives it a slightly too elongated appearance.
As far as i'm aware, and i'll happily stand corrected, this is the first 1:64 model of the E36 Compact which probably explains why its proved very popular with many collectors, particularly ones who like me remember the launch of the real vehicle and its role in the huge expansion of BMW in that period.
Mint and boxed.
What a moment!
Two at the same time. One on my front, one on my back.

My daughter and I ordered two sets of these Sailor Moon gashapon compacts back in October and they arrived yesterday! We love them!
An early stalwart of the Great Central Railway was Norwegian 2-6-0 377 King Haakon VII and it is seen here at Loughborough Central sometime in 1974.
Locomotive History
377 was built by Nydqvist and Holm AB, Trollhattan, Sweden in 1919 and arrived in the UK at Quainton in May 1971 This was followed by a spell at the Ashford Steam Centre from January 1972 before moving to the Great Central Railway, Loughborough, in March 1973, where it operated for a number of years before being withdrawn from traffic for boiler repairs. It was purchased by the Bressingham Steam Museum, Norfolk leaving the Great Central Railway on the 21st April 1981and had an extensive overhaul prior to returning to operation in 2006.

The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.
It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
