Early History:
This schoolhouse was the second Tassajara grammar school, built when the student population outgrew a smaller structure. On January 12, 1889, ten out of ten Tassajara School District voters approved the sale of bonds amounting to $1700 to purchase a lot, build, and furnish a school. Peter Anderson was paid $200 for an acre of his ranch land on Finley Road.
The Livermore Echo Newspaper (March 14, 1889) reported that the contract for the new school was let to J. L. Weilbye of Sunol. In those days, such a small building would have been constructed soon after the contract was signed. Students from first to eighth grade walked, rode horses, and took buggies to school. In 1889, Richard D. Williams was the teacher, and 41 students attended that August. Roger Podva (born in 1884) began school in 1890 and said there were 42-75 students at the school when he attended, sitting two to a desk. They learned mental arithmetic, reading, geography, spelling and writing. A picture of George Washington hung on the wall. The Contra Costa Gazette announced that the Tassajara School children raised their new flag on August 1, 1890 with appropriate ceremonies. As part of the program, George Fergodo, Tony Silver and Walter Scott gave the recitation “Red, White and Blue” and county school board member A. J. Young gave a speech “appreciated by young and old.” According to historian Vivian Coats Edmonston, “Roger Podva said that the black walnut trees in the school yard were planted by the children, starting with the oldest child down to the youngest.”
Later Years:
A public high school in downtown Danville opened in 1910 and some of the students traveled into town for higher education and joining grammar school graduates from Sycamore Valley, San Ramon, and Danville schools. Because of dirt roads, the school year calendar varied. In 1921 school opened for the fall semester on July 18, according to the Contra Costa Gazette. It opened early “as a mid-term vacation of two months is taken each year during the heavy rains of the winter when students residing in the rural sections are unable to attend.” In 1946 Tassajara School enrollment shrank to 11 after two large families moved away. Tassajara parents thought that students could get a better education by going to a more modern school. That year the school closed, and students and teacher Gertrude Arendt went to Danville for elementary school.
The desks were transported to Danville as well. Gordon Rasmussen, who was in sixth grade when the school closed, said “it was like hitting you with both barrels. In 1946 I had one other kid in my class, but then all of a sudden the next year there were 40.” His younger sister, Nancy, worried about learning all the names in her Danville class, since she had been the only one in her grade. A yellow bus took them into Danville. The abandoned school fell on hard times. The bell disappeared, windows were broken and Washington’s picture was stolen. But people in the Tassajara community organized to restore and care for the schoolhouse, replacing the foundation and roof and putting in new wiring and floors. They created the Tassajara-Highland Improvement Association and, in 1970, a new fire district. An annual picnic at the school included a barbecue, raffles, auctions, games and recruitment for fire volunteers. Funds were raised for the restoration. Eventually the picture of Washington was returned anonymously by the youth who took it. In a note he said his conscience had bothered him. Mrs. Arendt donated a World War I Liberty Bell from Pleasanton.
After finally being restored, The Tassajara Fire District maintained the school and, when the district merged with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District in 1990, the school became the responsibility of the SRVFPD. It now has a flagpole donated by the Fire District on the original site and a historic plaque placed by the San Ramon Valley Historical Society. The school is used for occasional meetings, rentals and picnics.

After a period of great expansionism, Crosville is now in a period of pronounced retreat. They are continuing to run their 100 service along the sea front and on a very wet Saturday in December 2012, a former Lothian Olympian F357WSC was doing the honours.
The Golden Triangle Regional Library Consortium (GTRLC) welcomed 17 new libraries this week as the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System and the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System joined ranks with 23 other libraries in the consortium.
During a contract signing on March 7, Dr. Mark Keenum, Mississippi State University President, welcomed the new libraries and thanked the directors and board members for their confidence in the MSU Libraries and for their vision and commitment to providing the best possible service and resources to their patrons.
The Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System serves Mississippi’s Attala, Holmes, Leake, Montgomery and Winston counties, while the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System manages collections for the communities of Columbus, Artesia, Crawford, and Caledonia, Mississippi.
“This is a very exciting time for our patrons and for what our library system can offer to the citizens of Attala County,” said Richard Greene, Executive Director of the Mid-Mississippi RLS. “This library resource sharing consortium will bring the collections of 38 libraries to the finger tips of our Attala County customers.”
“Being a member of the GTRLC means that we can bring a world of information to the citizens of Lowndes County,” said Alice Shands, Director of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System. “No longer are Lowndes County citizens limited to only the informational resources we can afford to purchase. Membership in the GTRLC provides an exponential increase in the amount of information our patrons may now access.”
The GTRLC was established in 1993 as a means of increasing the sharing of resources (access to one database which would contain all of the holdings within the Golden Triangle area) and automation costs as well as the sharing of technical expertise. The mission of the Consortium is to provide a central database that customers can utilize to provide easy access to resources available in the Golden Triangle Region. Building upon the success of the venture between charter members Mississippi State University and Mississippi University for Women, the Consortium continues to impact libraries and provide exceptional service to its members.
“We are very pleased to have the Columbus-Lowndes Library System and the Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System join the GTRLC,” said MSU Libraries Administrator of Systems, Stephen Cunetto. “With these additions, the Consortium, the only one of its kind in the State, now includes 40 libraries, including academics, publics, and school libraries.”
Since its establishment, Starkville High School, Tombigbee Regional Library System, Oktibbeha – Starkville Public Library, and the East Mississippi Community College Libraries have joined the consortium. Training and ongoing development and support for the Consortium is handled by the Mississippi State University Libraries.

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design Holloway, North London. Here are the details on the project
The Batchelor Pad Garden in Holloway, North London
BRIEF:
Earth Designs were contacted by this client to enquire about a design for his urban garden in North London in the spring of 2008. At the time the client decided to contract another design company and we did not hear anything further for a year. The client subsequently contacted us to request a quote based on the design that he had commissioned from our competitor. We were able to undercut the quoted price by a significant margin and consequently the client was happy to contract the project.
SOLUTION:
The garden is a north facing with very limited access and is located to the rear of a five storey converted Victorian school building. Due to its location, all materials needed to be transferred by hand through the building, down a flight of stairs, through several doors and round several corners. The road adjacent to the property is very busy, making deliveries difficult and potential crane hire extremely expensive. However, Earth Designs have completed many gardens with limited access and so we have become have become adept at finding the best and least disruptive ways of transporting substantial amounts of materials and waste to and from a space. The design included a built-in hot tub which was to be a feature of the space. However, the specifications of the spa meant that it would be impossible transport through the property and therefore would need to be lifted by crane over the 5 storey property. This would have been cost preclusive, so we were able to advise the client on alternative hot tub selection and offer electrical installation and project management of the hot tub installation. The client also requested additional items beyond the contracted work, which we were happy to facilitate.
The garden itself was well designed, with raised rendered block beds to the rear of the garden and two chunky pergolas with shade sail covers providing privacy from the flats above. The garden was paved throughout with Indian grey sandstone in a random pattern.
TESTIMONIAL:
Earth Designs did a fantastic job with my garden and made what I thought was going to be a stressful process amazingly easy. They were flexible when I changed the brief after the project had got underway, and found creative solutions to any issues that arose during the build. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for the quality of their work, attention to detail, project management and value for money.

I was contracted to shoot some photos for Asbury Jeans. It was a blast getting to know more about this company and finding some models willing to work for free. This is a great new friend of mine who happens to be a photographer as well, (he shoots Canon & does a great job). I will ask him if he wants me to disclose any info later when I post some more photos of the shoot I did with him. Anyways, I had a blast shooting. ENJOY!

I did this piece this week for the "We are Going to Eat You, Too" show at the MINT Gallery this weekend.
As soon as I heard about the show, I knew I had to rep Brian De Palma's "Phantom of the Paradise". I first encountered this movie on the FXM channel in the afternoons after I got home from high school. I could not manage to catch this movie in its entirety, which only added to the incomprehensible weirdness of the thing. This movie is so crazy!!! Definitely see it if you haven't.
This particular scene involves the Phantom watching footage of a character selling his soul to the devil, who appears as a reflection in his bathroom mirror. I knew I wanted to use this scene from the start, but as I worked on it, I began to recognize the significance of this scene to my own beliefs as a then-Christian regarding things like original sin and the presence of evil in the world.
There's a lot of layers of watching and objectifying and externalizing in this image, and I guess the message isn't %100 clear if you've not seen the whole movie, because the Phantom is, up until this scene, unknowingly under the same contract to the devil. So in a sense, he's watching something that he's thoroughly, though perhaps unwillingly, a part of. This is a little how I see humankind's place in everything.
After months of negotiations and, well, years of dreaming, I finally have it. Off to the post office now.
(Note to old girlfriends: So how do you like me now?)
(Note to Karmic Boomerang: Ignore that last bit, will you? Thanks, buddy.)
Illustrated is the new Arnold Clark concept for Skoda Edinburgh completed this week –13th January 2011. From a standing start Space Projects designed, detailed, contract managed and implemented this completely bespoke centre in twelve weeks including the stripping out of the existing structure.
From the bespoke rugs, chair materials, customer consultation areas, lighting specification, mechanical and electrical layouts, removing of the rear of the building to dealing with a seemingly impossible height issue towards the front of the property, all problems required quick practical head on thinking in order to deliver a trading unit to the client on time.
Splitting the unit on the diagonal coupled with the ramped entranceway deep into the retail space the customer is immediately greeted by an unusual, almost birds eye perspective of displayed vehicles upon arrival, making the transition into the space much more impactful than would normally be the case within a car showroom. The drama is further enhanced by an amphitheatre type staircase at the top of which cars are displayed in a fanned shaped pattern, feature car rotating in the background before then being bounced onto the reception desk, customer consultation areas and lounge area beyond. With hints and flashes of corporate green throughout the environment has been designed to be fresh, bright, modern, efficient, and customer friendly, and if a wait of any kind is required the rear of the unit has been opened up to offer an unrivalled 180° view of the firth of forth which we challenge any dealership to beat on any kind of day.

Entry Log 77 - A noble has contracted me to bring him to the Northern lands. He says he'll pay well. I will consider this offer.
Entry Log 78 - I have taken the deal. We are set for sea tomorrow morning, but tonight I'll gather the supplies and celebrate my new contract down at the local tavern.
Entry Log 79 - It's been three days since we first started traveling. But this noble has no out doors skills what so ever. He can barely handle his own paddle.
Entry Log 80 - We have stopped at a local fishing village. The fishermen have said it's been a mild winter this year, and that traveling by sea up the coast should be fine.
Entry Log 81 - The fishermen were wrong. A massive storm formed right in front of us, and brought us farther out to sea. The sea is beginning to freeze over.
Entry Log 82 - The ice has entrapped us. We had to get out of our canoes today just to make camp on an iceberg. But the only thing worse than the cold is this noble's constant chatter.
This is for the CCCX Winter scene category. The canoes/kayaks are originally from Eklund, with a slight modification from me. Instructions are here - www.flickr.com/photos/eklund-1/sets/72157629164078762/wit...
Enjoy!
Norway has become the first country to become a Contracting State to a key compensation treaty covering the transport of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) by ship.
The International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, 2010 (2010 HNS Convention), when in force, will provide a regime of liability and compensation for damage caused by HNS cargoes transported by sea, complementing existing regimes already in force for the transport of oil as cargo, bunker oil used for the operation and propulsion of ships, the removal of hazardous wrecks and claims for death of or personal injury to passengers, or for damage to their luggage, on ships.
Ms. Dilek Ayhan, State Secretary in the Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, handed over the instrument of ratification of the 2010 HNS Protocol to IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim on Friday (21 April) during a meeting at IMO Headquarters in London, United Kingdom.
Norway also provided, as required by the treaty, data on the total quantities of contributing cargo liable for contributions received in Norway during the preceding calendar year.
Mr. Lim warmly welcomed the ratification by Norway and encouraged other States to follow suit.
"The HNS Convention is the last piece in the puzzle needed to ensure that those who have suffered damage caused by HNS cargoes carried on board ships have access to a comprehensive and international liability and compensation regime," said IMO Secretary General Kitack Lim. "The number of ships carrying HNS cargoes is growing steadily with more than 200 million tonnes of chemicals traded annually by tankers and we have to recognize that accidents can and do happen. I urge all States to follow the example set by Norway and consider acceding to the HNS 2010 treaty as soon as possible, in order to bring it into force."
Entry into force of the treaty requires accession by at least 12 States, meeting certain criteria in relation to tonnage and reporting annually the quantity of HNS cargo received in a State.
IMO, together with the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC Funds) and the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF), has disseminated a six-page brochure that explains to States the purpose and benefit of the HNS Convention and encourages IMO Member States to take the next steps to ratify or accede to the Convention.
IMO measures relating to the prevention of accidents that involve HNS cargoes are already in force, including ship design, operations and safety on board as well as safety of loading and unloading operations. There is also a Protocol covering preparedness and response to shipping accidents involving hazardous substances.
The 2010 HNS Convention aims to deliver the uniform and comprehensive regime needed to provide compensation for costs, including clean-up and restoring the environment, in the event of an incident involving HNS cargoes. Total compensation available under the Convention is capped at 250 million Special Drawing Rights (SDR) of the International Monetary Fund (approximately USD $340 million at current exchange rates) per event. Shipowners are held strictly liable up to a maximum limit of liability established by the Convention for the cost of an HNS incident. Registered owners of ships carrying HNS cargoes have to maintain insurance that is State certified. The HNS Fund pays compensation once shipowner's liability is exhausted and is financed through contributions paid post incident by receivers of HNS cargoes.
The HNS Fund is administered by States and contributions will be based on the actual need for compensation.
HNS covered by the Convention include: oils; other liquid substances defined as noxious or dangerous; liquefied gases; liquid substances with a flashpoint not exceeding 60˚C; dangerous, hazardous and harmful materials and substances carried in packaged form or in containers; and solid bulk materials defined as possessing chemical hazards.
The HNS Convention establishes the principle that the 'polluter pays' by ensuring that the shipping and HNS industries provide compensation for those who have suffered loss or damage resulting from an HNS incident.

I was last here some six years ago, before started work on the wind farm, as I thought I would have less time for the photography malarkey. The six month contract has now lasted six years, and finally, I get to return, now sure that I could get in.
I mention this, as St Clement's is, apparently, an estate church, and there are two roads leading from the crossroads, one of which is the main drive to Knowlton Court, the large country house that stands cheek by jowl to the church.
We dive down the avenue approaching the house, then turn to the left, where we see the bellcote of the chapel. There is parking for a couple of cars outside, so we take one, I get my cameras, and we walk through the gate to the door to the church.
I knew it would be open, as it is now under the care of the Church Conservation Trust, however, it is always a relief when the door does swing open after applying some pressure.
It is a fine small church, with very good memorials, many to the D'Aeth family.
This fine church is well worth half an hour of anyone's time, and I for one recommend it to all.
-----------------------------------------------
Cared for by The Churches Conservation Trust, this church stands against the back door of Knowlton Court and is, to all intents and purposes, an estate church. It is a simple structure of just nave and chancel - probably of thirteenth century date - but today the entire church has the atmosphere of an early nineteenth century one. The three-decker pulpit with red cushion; the box pews; the chancel gates with elaborate fretwork; the text on the altar and around the east window and the very dark stained glass. From an earlier period are the two memorials in the chancel. On the north side is the memorial to the sons of the big house lost when the Association ran aground off the Isles of Scilly - the ill fated ship lying on the rocks carved into the panel below. A must-see church - which creates a feeling as sticky as treacle and a memory that stays forever.
