This locker room is like a huge labyrinth!
Les Mills BodyJam is my new favorite class, that's why I went there today.
"BODYJAM™ is the cardio workout where you are free to enjoy the sensation of dance. An addictive fusion of the latest dance styles and hottest new sounds puts the emphasis as much on having fun as on breaking a sweat. Funky instructors teach you to move with attitude through this 55-minute class."
I really enjoy it, wish I could go every day!

Return to the Western world! We spend three weeks in Croatia, and sample the joys of Central Europe by the Adriatic Sea.
Zagreb is thoroughly modern and beautiful, with a livelier local crowd, fresh markets, and more hidden gems than Prague or Budapest. The Plitvice Lakes are one of the most awesome national parks we have visited so far. And Dubrovnik is like stepping back into the 1400s, all rocky hillside, stone streets, towering city walls, and Mediterranean blue sea. We would love to come back here.

A warm and fuzzy 2021 to everyone out there.
It's been a busy and chaotic 2021 thus far, coupled with some new fun local restrictions.... any I may or may not be playing Switch games. But, fear not, I'm still around with a pile of stuff to get around to looking at.
The 2021 - 22 timeframe brings us the latest in the Transformers mainline release - Kingdom, which is the third party of the "War for Cybertron" series. Based on photos, this line is very much a mash up of G1 and Beast Wars stuff, with an emphasis on the Beast stuff, which is fine as G1 effectively had 2/3 of the lines and while it's not my favourite thing I understand it's time to move on and completely skip all the Japanese G1 stuff that we never saw here.
Bastards.
OK... got that out of my system... Beast Wars is a series that I never really followed because I honestly never had consistent viewing habits. I was probably 10 years old when it premiered and didn't have the patience to follow a weekly show that, for reasons never aired in order. The characters were interesting and I enjoyed the later Transmetal designs.
So while this wasn't my G1, there were a few things that tickled my fancy from the Kingdom line, though I have to say at this time that my involvement in this line is going to be fairly limited. As mentioned on an earlier post, I ended up getting Black Arachnia and Rattrap from Wave 1. Rattrap because I needed something for free shipping, and Black Arachnia because... well.. boobs.
I think it's fair to say that Black Arachnia borrows some elements from the MP version, though naturally much more simplified. Silhouette is very similar and the transformation scheme itself shares some similarities. I guess unlike with vehicles, there's only so many ways you can bundle up bot parts into a presentable animal of sorts... also, why do your own homework when you can reference other peoples?
The figure comes with her harpoon gun that looks close to its MP counterpart, except with no removable missile. Colour scheme is very reminiscent of her TV counterpart, including her perpetual 5 o'clock shadow look. Backpack is generally minimized, which is a nice touch. She's not as pretty as her MP counterpart, but we've come a long way from the 90s when she was a repaint of Tarantulus. Spider mode is also much more convincing.
She does alright from an articulation perspective, which to summarize, is really just missing the waist. The pelvic plate unfortunately gets in the way of the legs, so forward range of motion is rather limited. She even has a slight amount of lateral shoulder movement. Her pincers are moulded such that any standard weapon should fit into it.
Put another way, she's at least two steps up from Legends Arcee.
Paint is highly limited, as is the mainline Transformers way. It's pretty much the any areas which have patterns on it though to be fair they matched the paint and plastic colours nicely, and the actual paint apps themselves are sharp. There is also a tiny tampo of her Predacon insignia.
Build quality itself is again pretty solid, something that has been consistent since the Unified Product thing. As a nice bonus, while the spider legs cannot be posed individually like other figures, this is the first mainline Black Arachnia that can stand up on it's legs.
Rattrap is a Legends class figure, so he's pretty tiny. Still, he's a fan favourite, being the smart ass of the Maximal crew so I didn't mind adding him to the ranks. Based on what I see, it looks like Rattrap will be the basis for Airrazor, which unfortunately means that Airrazor is gonna have the same issues as Rattrap does.
Rattrap comes with his gun and while he turns into a nice looking mouse, it's only aesthetically better than his 90s counter part as functionally he's still effectively a statue in Beast mode. What's really odd is that during the Legends/Generations run, there was a Rattrap with functional beast mode legs.
At least the thing holds together better than Earthrise Arcee.
Bot mode doesn't look bad, and is more properly proportioned than the Legends/Generations attempt. Articulation wise, not only is he missing a waist, but Rattrap has some really, REALLY wonky shoulders that not only look strange, but have some really peculiar limitations on range of motion.
Paint and Build Quality are, as expected, solid. No major issues to report there.
That, friends, was a quick look at these two figures. From what I've seen, fans of the Beast Era should be having a ball with these releases as these clearly were meant to tickle their Nostalgia rather than us G1ers, though personally I'm keeping my eyes open for discounts on the MPs as clearly some short cuts were taken on these figures to keep the accountants happy.

I tried to put emphasis on the trademark of the gun.

The focus is on three boys: Sameer ( Jugal Hansraj ), Vicky ( Uday Chopra ) and Karan ( Jimmy Shergill ) who are all in love with three women. La atención se centra en tres niños: Sameer ( Jugal Hansraj ), Vicky ( Uday Chopra ) y Karan ( Jimmy Shergill ) que están todos en el amor con tres mujeres.

Sin embargo, los tres chicos se dan cuenta de que no hay ningún punto en su intento de conseguir sus intereses amorosos.
Raj Aryan ( Shahrukh Khan ) se une a Gurukul como profesor de música. He is a strong believer of love — when he learns the three boys are in love, he encourages them to follow their hearts. Él es un firme creyente del amor - cuando se entera de los tres niños se encuentran en el amor, él los invita a seguir sus corazones. He also slowly starts introducing changes to Gurukul much to the disgust of Narayan, who does not like changes.

Raj often imagines that Megha is by his side. Raj menudo se imagina que Megha está a su lado.
Soon, Raj throws a party in Gurukul and invites the girls' school from next door — part of his plan to spread love throughout Gurukul.

Cuando Raj fue expulsado, Megha se suicidó. Raj believed that this incident would make Narayan change for the better; it only made him more stubborn. Raj cree que este incidente haría Narayan cambio para mejor, sino que sólo lo hizo más terco. Raj promises that, before he leaves Gurukul, he will fill it with so much love that even Narayan himself will not be able to remove it. Raj promete que, antes de que abandone Gurukul, él lo llenará con tanto amor que aun Narayan mismo no será capaz de eliminarlo. A battle now begins between love (Raj) and fear (Narayan).

Los tres muchachos siguen a romper las reglas, lo que alienta a los estudiantes a hacer lo mismo. Narayan decides to expel the three. Narayan decide expulsar a los tres. Raj tries to reason with Narayan — he tells him that what the three boys did was caused by him so they should not be expelled for it. Raj intenta razonar con Narayan - le dice que lo que los tres muchachos se fue causado por él por lo que no debe ser expulsado por ello. Raj also says that he feels Narayan lost the battle, because his daughter left him and now Raj (who considered Narayan an elder) is leaving him. Raj también dice que se siente Narayan perdió la batalla, porque su hija lo abandonó y ahora Raj (quien consideró Narayan un anciano) lo va a dejar. Raj's words make Narayan realise his mistake.

Raj se convierte Gurukul en una universidad llena de amor. In the end Raj, Narayan and an image of Megha walk happily towards the gates of Gurukul. Al final Raj, Narayan y una imagen de Megha caminar con alegría hacia las puertas de Gurukul.
Built in 1949-1951, this Modern building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and Marshall Erdman to house the First Unitarian Society of Madison, utilizing a strong emphasis on the geometry of triangles in its design. The First Unitarian Society of Madison was founded in 1879, and two of its founding members were William Cary Wright and Anna Lloyd Jones, the parents of Frank Lloyd Wright, and was comprised primarily of those who followed Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Frank Lloyd Wright’s uncle. Frank Lloyd Wright was a member of the church as well. The Unitarians completed their first building in Madison in 1885, which was located downtown, and was the home of the local Unitarian congregation until they sold the building in 1951 and moved to Shorewood Hills, a suburb of Madison located west of the University of Wisconsin - Madison campus. The budget for the church was exceeded by a factor of 3, owing to unforeseen complications during the construction process, and led to members of the church taking on some of the labor to build it. After its completion, the church was widely celebrated as a highly innovative church design, and influenced the design of many Modernist churches in the United States during the subsequent two decades.
The building is a long, mostly low structure underneath a copper and wood roof that follows the topography of the site, with it being more open with larger windows facing towards the adjacent University Bay Drive to the north, and less open towards the parking area to the south. The roof is hipped with low eaves, the lowest of which is about 5 feet above the sidewalk, right at the building’s original main entrance. The exterior is clad in limestone, with both vertical punched opening windows and long horizontal bands of ribbon windows on the wings flanking the “upper meeting house,” which terminate at the entrance at the southeast corner of the building and a fellowship hall in a pointed section at the northwest corner of the building. The most notable feature of the building is the “upper meeting house,” a tall space with a tall triangular pointed roof that slopes to a low eave at the south face of the building, and a facade on the north side of the building that tapers to a narrow point reminiscent of the prow of a ship, which is wrapped by a planter at the base and a glass curtain walls with angled mullions above, and resembles hands folded in prayer. The roof of the space is supported by hinged arch trusses that are supported by being counterbalanced at the eaves, forming a 64-foot span with no interior supports. The interior of the pointed section of the building is home to an organ and a simple limestone altar, with the light from the prow window in the front of the space being diffused by several light shelves. The ceiling features multiple soffits in the rear that have similar triangular shapes to the rest of the building, a glass storefront with a pointed top that contains two doors to a terrace outside, and a stone wall that penetrates up through the roof, appearing much like a chimney.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2004. The building complex has been expanded multiple times as the congregation has grown into one of the largest Unitarian organizations in the United States, necessitating additions to be built to the southwest of the original classroom wing in 1965 and 1990, designed by Taliesin Associated Architects and mimicking the footprint, exterior cladding, window placement, and layout of the original building, but with low-slope roofs instead of hipped roofs. In 2008, the church received a massive contemporary addition to the rear to house an additional worship space and community spaces, designed by Kubala Washatko Architects, and meant to both preserve the historic landscape around the original building and embody similar design principles. The building is maintained under the stewardship of the non-profit Friends of the Meeting House, Inc., which has existed since the 1970s to address the building’s various preservation and maintenance needs. The church today remains in use as an active worship space for the original congregation, which also allows various community groups to utilize its facilities.
This is a photograph from the Clane and Rathcoffey Parishes annual 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Clane village, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 19th of October at 14:30. This year's event follows on from the very successful staging last year (see link to photographs below). The organisers offer both a 5km and 10km race and the event provides an opportunity for runners, joggers, and walkers of all abilities to take part in the event. The 5KM has a particular emphasis on family entrants. There was a wonderful atmosphere around the Village as both races started and finished on the main street outside the parish hall. The directly out-and-back routes provided an opportunity for a fast time on a good course and made for a great finish line atmosphere as runners, joggers, and walkers crossed the line. Great praise must be extended to the whole organising committee who organised a very efficiently run event. The events provide some runners with an opportunity to have a final race effort session in the week leading up to the Dublin City Marathon.

Overall Race Summary and Logistics
Participants: There were about 200 competitors combined in the two events.
Weather: The weather was very changeable for all of the events. During the 10KM race there was a heavy rain shower around the area of the 6KM mark but this didn't actually fall in the town. There was a strong headwind against competitors in the 10KM on the return part of the course between 6KM and 8KM.
Race Course:
This summary includes information on both the 5KM and 10KM races.
Both races start in the same place - just outside the Race HQ on the main street of the town. The races then proceed north eastwards out the Dublin Road towards Straffan and Celbridge. Just after 400 meters the races take a left up a small local road and proceeds along this road until it takes a tight left hand turn at the end of the lane at Capdoo goo.gl/maps/aPo26 (Google Streetview). The route proceeds until it shortly meets the Clane-Kilcock Road - College Road R407 goo.gl/maps/SGcPa. Both races will divert into Clane Business and Industrial Park goo.gl/maps/EQMf0 . The 5KM turns around and returns on the same route to the finish. However the 10KM race continues (taking a left) back onto College Road. Soon afterwards it passes the famous entrance to Clongowes Wood College on the right the race takes the next left (goo.gl/maps/zUhrJ) and brings runners onto the road known locally as the 'Long Road' (R408 Between Rathcoffey and Prosperous) at this point goo.gl/maps/fHKr2. The race proceeds northward until runners meet the Clane Kilcock Road once again. With the exception of the partial run into the Industrial Estate the race returns to the finish on the main street in Clane via the same route as the outward part of the route.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
The fire hydrant was placed close to the building for quick and easy access. Its red color gives it emphasis. Notice also they have emphasized the yellow barracade so that people don't run into it.
'Million Women Rise' march on International Women's Day - London 09.03.2013
Around three thousand women marched through central London on 9th March 2013 as part of the many International Women's Month events taking place globally, with a special emphasis on drawing public attention to all forms of violence against women by men, the gratuitous objectification of women as mere sex objects, and the sexist glass-ceiling which prevents millions of women in the worldwide workplace from achieving their full potential.
The protesters formed-up outside Selfridges store on Oxford Street - a historically significant building in the 19th century for the more militant London chapters of the Suffragette Movement - the high-spirited, noisy crowd marched down Oxford Street, then down Wardour Street and on to Trafalgar Square where the crowd listened to impassioned speeches from representatives of organisations which help women who are subjected to violence at the hands of men.
