The 11th Generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was offered during model years 2002-2005.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Thunderbird_(eleventh_generation)
It was styled to be reminiscent of the First Generation of Model years 1955-1957. I think that the connection is lost with the appearance of the headlights and the grille. The original headlights stand and lean forward, creating an appearance of being poised to jump forward. The headlights on the newer version lean backward to create a more passive appearance. The grille on the newer model projects far forward so that the created visage resembles one of being startled and bewildered.
Los molinos de Consuegra son un conjunto de molinos situados en el denominado «cerro Calderico», en el municipio español de Consuegra, provincia de Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha. En 2006 fue incoada la declaración conjunta como Bien de Interés Cultural del cerro, incluyéndose los molinos y el aledaño castillo de la Muela; en febrero de 2008 se aprobaría con la categoría de «Sitio histórico».
Los molinos de viento fueron construidos en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. En concreto Pascual Madoz señala un total de diez molinos harineros en 1847, en su Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar, aunque en el siglo XVIII al parecer existirían ya dos molinos. Tras las distintas reconstrucciones llevadas a cabo en diferentes épocas, se conservan en el siglo XXI doce de los trece molinos que en su día llegaron a coronar el Cerro Calderico.
Estos, siguiendo la tipología del molino torre, establecida en Holanda entre los siglos XVI y XVI, presentan dos partes claramente diferenciadas: un cuerpo cilíndrico o torre formada por gruesos muros de mampostería escalada, que constituye el elemento sustentante, y una cubierta cónica giratoria, que integra el conjunto matriz, manifestándose al exterior por el palo de gobierno y sus cuatro aspas rectangulares.

Bien que les moulins à vent se soient généralisés en Europe vers le XIIe siècle, ils ne font leur apparition dans La Manche (de l'arabe Al-Ansha, terre sèche ou terre sans eau) que dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle. Dans cette région de quasi monoculture de céréales, les rivières ne pouvaient fournir l'énergie suffisante pour moudre le grain, c'est donc vers l'énergie éolienne qu'on se tourna. Une fois la coupole orientée et les croix en forme de X dirigées vers le vent, on couvrait celles-ci de toiles de voile. Le mouvement obtenu était transmis à l'axe qui le communiquait, à travers une série de mécanismes, à deux meules qui broyaient le blé et le transformaient ainsi en farine.
Au nombre de treize à l'origine, les moulins à vent de Consuegra ne sont plus que douze aujourd'hui. Ils ont été bâtis à la fin du XVIe siècle à l'initiative de l'Ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, de part et d'autre du château de la Muela qu'il occupait, en alignement sur la crête de la colline de Calderico, qui domine la ville. Chacun d'entre eux a reçu le nom d'un des personnages de Don Quichotte, roman de Cervantes avec, du nord au sud : le Bolero, Mambrino, Sancho, Mochilas, Vista Alegre, le château de la Muela puis le Cardeño, Alcancía, Chispas, Caballero del Verde Gabán, Rucio, Espartero, Clavileño3. Exploités par des meuniers, ils se transmettaient de père en fils, de génération en génération1.
Quatre d'entre eux possèdent un mécanisme en bon état : le Sancho, le Rucio, le Bolero et l'Espartero. Mais le plus intéressant est sans doute le Sancho, qui a conservé l'ensemble de ses machines d'origine en parfait état de fonctionnement. De fait, lors de la fête de la Rose du Safran, qui a lieu le dernier week-end d'octobre, il est remis en route et le blé broyé sous sa meule, surnommée Catalina, est ensaché et distribué par guichet aux visiteurs, dont le nombre avoisine les 3 000. Cet acte symbolique, appelé Broyage de la Paix, est un évènement médiatique qui attire des personnalités du monde de la culture et de la communication.

Die Windmühlen von Consuegra befinden sich in Consuegra, einer Gemeinde in der Provinz Toledo der Autonomen Region Castilla-La Mancha (Spanien). Die Windmühlen auf dem Hügel Calderico, wo sich auch das Castillo de Consuegra befindet, sind als Baudenkmal geschützt.
Die elf Windmühlen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert tragen Namen wie El Blanco, La Turca und El Sancho Pansa, den Namen des Dieners im Roman Don Quijote von Miguel de Cervantes. Neben Consuegra beanspruchen auch die Orte Campo de Criptana und Mota del Cuervo als Vorlage des Schauplatzes für den Kampf des Ritters mit den Windmühlen gedient zu haben. In der Mühle Caballero del Verde Gabán (Ritter mit dem grünen Mantel) befinden sich zahlreiche Ausgaben des Buches Don Quijote de la Mancha.
In der Mühle Bolero, in der sich das Fremdenverkehrsbüro befindet, ist ein Mahlstein zu sehen und in der Mühle El Sancho Pansa ist noch der gesamte Mahlmechanismus erhalten. Die Mühle Cardeño war früher bewohnt und in der Mühle Rucio ist eine Ausstellung zum Wein zu sehen. Die Mühle Espartero enthält eine Ausstellung über das Kunsthandwerk in der Provinz Toledo.

Lego Soundwave - Masterpiece Brickformer (MB-02).
Fully transformable without the need to remove any pieces. Ravage, Frenzy and Laserbeak all fit into his chest and his accessories fit onto his back.
Hope you like it because I have a few more brickformers in the pipeline.
Lego Sideswipe - Masterpiece Brickformer (MB-03).
Fully transformable without removing pieces.
I started work on this before Soundwave and Nemesis but his transformation was so difficult that it took the longest to build. wrapping his arms (doors) around the front wheels was the biggest challenge. But I am most proud of the feet - as they turn into the seats when in vehicle mode.
This Transformers figure is Powermaster Doubledealer from the Generation 1 line, released in 1988. It is complete and in excellent condition. Doubledealer came with two Powermaster engines, Knok and Skar. Here, Doubledealer is in one of his four modes, a giant condor, one of the few beast modes before the Beast Wars started.

You can't build a Prime figure without a nod to Chris Roach . I have been meaning to build this for many years and there is no doubt that his Primes have influenced this build. Thanks for the inspiration Chris.
This Transformer figure is Springer from the Generation 1 line, released originally in 1986. Springer is a triple changer, converting from robot to helicopter to dune buggy. It is complete and in great condition. Although his stickers are in better condition that most (it's hard to find these with any intact stickers), his sword is showing heavy chrome wear and his metal chest has a paint chip or two.

Recently an elderly lady from my church moved to Florida, and she did not want to move this big double shelf thing. I hate shopping for shelves, but don't mind putting them together, so I said I'd take it. For some reason her daughter and son-in-law thought it could only be moved as a single unit, but I quickly realized I could break the whole thing down in about five minutes.
So I did, and crammed it all into Victoria's Elantra GT, secured it with pull straps, and brought it to our playroom, to which I've been wanting to add shelving for a while now. Previously, only the Dinobots were on display, along with the big guys down there at the bottom. I told the kids to get all their TFs out and we'd put them all up on these shelves.
This is our family collection, basically. Some are mine, but most belong to the children. It's not complete, but it does contain the characters we love most or that I had a special connection with as a kid, or that I had as a kid. Well, there's also some in there that we thought just looked cool.
There's only three missing that my brothers and I actually had as kids that I wish I could find, but they're all very expensive now - Thrust, Powerglide, and Octane.
This actually isn't the entire collection, either. I counted, and we have 8 Optimus Primes of various sizes and configurations, another 8 Bumblebees, five or six Megatrons, five Soundwaves, five Starscreams, four different Hot Rods and for some reason each of us has a copy of both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker (the War for Cybertron versions). I think I might've purchased things I didn't realize we already had.
The quality is all over the place. Some bots are great right out of the packaging. The materials still feel great, the joints are relatively tight, and everything looks fantastic. Others are a complete disaster right out of the package. Material feels cheap, joints are loose, fit is rough in vehicle mode, and the colors don't look right. And then there's everything in between.
I don't understand how serious collectors in this hobby don't lose their ever-loving minds. I mean this picture represents about 12 years worth of relatively engaged effort (looking at various toy stores every time we went, using Big Bad Toy Store and even TFSource). I can't imagine how annoying it must have been to try and assemble say, a Masterpiece collection or the entire Alternators line when they were out.
I guess that's why people buy third party stuff. I just find it annoying and confusing, though. Anyway, it was a fun journey, and maybe someday we'll find Thrust, but we're done for now.
Not shown: WFC Jetfire, the three main seekers in their Earth forms, and Hot Shot, who I got to know through the fantastic Transformers PS2 game.
"Strong beyond belief, versatile, clever, brave and self-sacrificing, Metroplex is willing to give everything he has to the Autobot cause and defend it to his last astroseconds of life. Despite all this he’s wracked to the core of his being with the belief that he could and should be doing more. It’s a self-deprecating attitude that stuns many of his fellow Autobots, most of whom take immeasurable comfort in his very existence and the knowledge that regardless of what evil comes, Metroplex is out there to back them up."
