---- Scicli (Sicily): Ride of Saint Joseph ----
---- Scicli (Sicilia): la Cavalcata di S.Giuseppe ----
-----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a short and long reports that I made this year in Scicli (Sicily); it's a popular event called "Ride of Saint Joseph", tradition handed down from the Middle Ages, with some features that most likely originated during the period of ancient Rome, when the ancient Romans thanked the "sol invictus", the moment of the triumph of Light (the coming of Spring) who wins the cold and dark winter. Every year during the feast of St. Joseph in Scicli (Sicily) is commemorated with a "ride" that takes place along the streets of the town, the escape that took place in Egypt riding a donkey, of Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus; for the occasion, people will light characteristic bonfires light up the night. The figurative narrative of the escape into Egypt recounted in the Gospels, it is held every year around March 19 (this year on 2 April), with the preparation of the horses that are covered by a particular structure which is then decorated - harnessed with various flowers "of spring", wild lilies, wallflowers mantles, the horses thus assume the role of real "living tableaux" bearing depictions that tell of the Holy Family and theyr escape into Egypt. The traditional feast has its roots in the peasant culture, people ask St. Joseph for his intercession so that the harvest is plentiful, so the water does not ever fail: His image is present in every stable, the Holy protected the peasant family from every misfortune, every famine. This year the city of Scicli was literally "invaded" by the presence of numerous horses and riders, anticipating the appearance of horses "harnessed", donated suggestions and choreography that seemed to belong to an ancient Sicily.

Questo è un breve e lungo report che ho realizzato quest'anno in quel di Scicli (Sicilia), della caratteristica manifestazione popolare chiamata "cavalcata di San Giuseppe", festa tradizionale che si tramanda fin dal periodo medioevale, con alcune caratteristiche che molto probabilmente originano finanche dal periodo dell'antica Roma, quando si ringraziava il "sol invictus", il momento del trionfo della Luce (ovvero il giungere della Primavera) che vince sull'inverno freddo ed oscuro. Ogni anno durante la festa di San Giuseppe a Scicli (Sicilia) si rievoca con una "cavalcata" (che si svolge lungo le vie della cittadina), la fuga che avvenne in Egitto in sella ad un asinello, di Giuseppe, Maria e del bambin Gesù; per l'occasione si accendono caratteristici falò che illuminano la notte. La narrazione figurata della fuga in Egitto raccontata dai Vangeli, si svolge ogni anno intorno al 19 marzo (quest'anno il 2 Aprile), con la preparazione dei cavalli che vengono rivestiti da una particolare struttura la quale poi viene decorata - bardata con fiori vari "della primavera", gigli selvatici, manti di violaciocche; i cavalli assumono così il ruolo di veri "tableux viventi" recanti raffigurazioni che narrano della Sacra Famiglia e della fuga in Egitto. La festa affonda le sue radici nella cultura contadina, si chiede a San Giuseppe la sua intercessione affinchè il raccolto sia abbondante, affinchè l'acqua non abbia mai a mancare: la Sua immagine è presente in ogni stalla, il Santo proteggeva ieri come oggi la famiglia contadina da ogni sventura, da ogni carestia. Quest'anno la città di Scicli è stata letteralmente "invasa" dalla presenza di numerosissimi cavalli e cavalieri che, anticipando la comparsa dei cavalli "bardati", hanno donato suggestioni e coreografie che sembravano appartenere ad una Sicilia ... antica.
Just after passing West Fortune and on the approach to Drem, GBRF 66739 hauls failed Royal Scotsman liveried 66746 on 6S49.
6S49 lost time between the Border and Grantshouse with 66746 hauling the train and was looped at Grantshouse due to it causing delay to a Cross Country Voyager hauling 1S37. At Grantshouse the driver swapped engines round. and when it was seen here it was running about 70 minutes late. It is slowing down here also as it is about to be put into the loop at Drem. This is the Tyne Yard - Millerhill Departmental working.

So after very heavy and long term use, the trigger safety pin on my Lightning Strike Glock Trigger walked out on me. it’s a very simple fix, but I thought I would post a picture of it, just to prove my point on “Nothing is Flawless”. Some light staking and this will probably never happen again. But not everyone is as gun Savvy as I am. So this “Fail” might really torque someone with less firearm experience.

As I was visiting wifey in Salford Royal today I decided on another trip to Manchester Airport. The last time I went I missed out on the behemoth Airbus A380 so I checked departures and there was one bound for Dubai at 13.10. Perfect!
Shortly after parking up in a nearby lane I realised they were landing at the south end and not taking off as my last visit. When I got to my vantage point runway 2 was not in use!!! They were taking off and landing using only runway 1!!
I didn't have time to make it over to the other side of the airport. So my shot today is the A380 taking off over 3 miles away and on the wrong runway grrr.
I will be back tho to get the head on shot I want.....
I usually read a book for fifty pages and if it doesn't interest me I toss it. Many of my favorite authors have at least one book that has failed the test and so it is for James Lee Burke's "White Doves at Morning"

Software lockups and Broken belts
This fail was due to the X belt splitting mid print. It sat and continued to lay plastic down over and over on Y and Z for 10 minutes. Which was quite a bit of plastic as i was printing at 200mm/s. Solution: print slower, replace X axis motor mount with alternative design, not use a steel internal braiding belt.
This makes me sad! Had these lying around for some years. All of this great good ol' Polaroid 600 film wasted, when I was testing a broken SX-70. I really miss this film.
