Enjoy this full photo album of "Bunker Down”, our impromptu art event at Battery Chester in San Francisco’s Land’s End on Labor Day weekend.
Kudos to our friend Dr. Really (a.k.a Freddy Hahne), for masterfully organizing this surreal happening, with the help of Pataphysical Studios, our art collective! It was such a wonderful way to play and reconnect with each other in this dreamlike setting. :)
The event paid tribute to French poet Alfred Jarry, the founder of ‘Pataphysics, who inspired the Dada and Surrealist movements. Many of us read quotes from Jarry and his legendary character, the grotesque Père Ubu. On our makeshift stage, Dr. Fabio (a.k.a Fabrice Florin) and the Queen of the Desert (a.k.a. Priscilla Wheeler) re-enacted Ubu's mad quest for power, comparing it to Donald Trump’s own descent into darkness -- in both French and English. Thanks to all of you who booed, chanted and cheered along with us!
Many of our artist friends from Burning Man and Grateful Dead movements joined our celebration — including luminaries like artist David Best, musician David Gans and many more creative minds. Tip of the hat to our pals to Dr. Rindbrain (a.k.a. Howard Rheingold) for punctuating our performances with his magical drum, Dr. Tout d'Suite (a.k.a. Janey Fritsche) and Dr. Skidz (a.k.a. Marshall Smith) for contributing their fine paintings, to Dr. Helvetica (a.k.a. Kathy Lassen-Hahne), Dr. JudyJudy (Judy Rheingold) and Tory Farms for serving such delicious treats, to Dr. Figurine for bringing her paper bag masks — and to everyone who helped make this community event such a success!
Our experimental event demonstrated how the Golden Gate's military fortifications can be turned into incredible art and theatrical spaces! They're already filled with fantastic graffiti art, and can be quickly repurposed with original paintings, performance art and interactive exhibits to create an experience that’s truly out of this world. We may host more events like these in these exceptional settings.
Thanks to Phyllis Florin, Tim Pozar, Freddy Hahne, Stephanie Levene, Evelyn Messinger, Susana Millman, Vickisa Feinberg and Anne Coreo for their wonderful photos and videos of this historic occasion. This photo album was edited by Fabrice Florin. Vive la ‘Pataphysique!

Fonte Official Slayer FB Page :
Slayer, the long-reigning titans of thrash, returns with Repentless, the band’s 11th studio album and its first album for Nuclear Blast. Produced by Terry Date, Repentless was written and recorded by guitarist Kerry King and singer/bassist Tom Araya at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, along with returning drummer Paul Bostaph and guitarist Gary Holt. Repentless is crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream.
Thirty-four years into its career, Slayer remains the preeminent punk-thrash band that helped establish the genre and that up-and-coming metal heads continue to revere and emulate. Slayer is a five-time nominated, two-time Grammy Award-winning metal juggernaut that writes songs which mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society. Repentless, the band’s first new album in six years, continues the Slaytanic offensive with a twelve-song, blood-shaking sonic attack. Repentless is dark, fast, aggressive and without mercy. It was also the most challenging record Slayer has ever had to make.
In 2013 the world mourned the loss of guitarist Jeff Hanneman who died from complications following a two-year illness. A co-founder of Slayer, losing Jeff was very difficult for the band. During Jeff’s illness, friend of the band, guitarist Holt stepped in to help out on tour with Jeff’s blessing and stayed on. Around that time, drummer Dave Lombardo exited the band for the third time and Paul Bostaph, (who played with the band from 1992 – 2001), returned to take over the throne. Slayer never skipped a beat and since Holt and Bostaph both played in Exodus, it was all-in-the-thrash-family.
But it didn’t come easily. As guitarist and Slayer co-founder Kerry King puts it, “I remember the day that Jeff died. It was the day of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. We knew he’d been sick but nobody expected it to be so quick. I assumed I’d be able to go out there and see him after I got done with whatever business I had to do and that day never came.
“We went out and toured afterwards to see how we felt about it. That’s what you do as a musician: you either go out and tour or you stop working. Even though we’d been touring for two years without Jeff, thinking he was going to come back, now there was finality to it. And the thing with Gary was that we were all friends. Exodus was the first band we’d ever met that became our friends immediately and we stayed friends throughout the years. Gary is just a guitar dynamo and he was the guy.”
Tom Araya agrees. “Jeff would want us to continue. I’d think that if something were to happen to someone else in the band, whoever it was would feel the same way. Just get on with it. Gary’s a friend, a friend of Jeff’s, he knew what was going on and he wanted to help in any way he could, so Gary made Slayer a comfortable place to be. Having Paul back was also a comforting feeling. He’s a former member and that’s the best thing about it. It wasn’t some other guy. Having Paul and Gary made everything a little easier to handle. It’s about the band. Slayer was a big thing for Jeff, and so I’m looking at it in that sense. It was his baby, too. And we hope we’ve done Slayer and him justice.”
King said that Slayer still had to test the water. “Now we were out to see if it made sense to continue, to see if we liked it, to see if the band still enjoyed it. And the way I looked at it was: if it wasn’t this, it was going to be something that sounded exactly like this, so why not continue doing this? It’s super-potent. We’re really tight right now and we’re stoked that we’re still doing it. Once we had that under our belts we started thinking about a record and never looked back.”
After two decades with American Recordings, Slayer found a new home with Nuclear Blast, the German independent label known for its metal roster. King is enthusiastic about the move, “I like it,” he declares, stressing the work like. “Having been with American for so long we wanted to give them first right of refusal because that’s how we are. I think continuity is far stronger than switching all the time. But at the end of the day, Nuclear Blast made us a great offer and so it was time to move on. At Nuclear Blast, people go to work, they do their job, get paid and they fuckin’ like it. All hands. So it was the right choice.”
When the time came, Slayer entered the studio with producer Terry Date. Date is the first producer the band has worked with since leaving American, where all their albums were produced or executive produced by Rick Rubin. On working with Date, Tom says, “He’d done all these great albums – Soundgarden, Pantera – and as a singer I need someone I respect who can tell me whether he likes it or not as opposed to telling me how to do something I’ve been doing for 30 years. He would guide me. That’s why I really liked working with him, because he was so cool. I regard him as a friend, for sure.”
Kerry adds, “It was as business as usual as it could be. The oddest thing for me was Jeff’s presence… not being there. When we were recording, in the past, whether he played or not, having him there and having his opinion and stuff like that: that was what I missed. Jeff’s not being there was the oddest thing.”
Gary Holt came on board to help out with tour commitments when Jeff first became ill. “My role in Slayer started out as a tour and happened to come when I was taking time off from Exodus and I spoke to Kerry who asked if I could help out. I went down to rehearsal and Jeff showed me some things. I’ve known Jeff forever but it wasn’t until his memorial that I learned how much of his blessing I really had. At the end of the day, we all wanted Jeff to come back and then tragedy struck; so here we are five years later and Repentless is coming out and I think Jeff would have loved it. I’m super-excited. It’s a good feeling and I know it’s got to be a great feeling for Tom and Kerry for all the work they’ve done – and Paul as well. Everybody’s excited.”
Repentless marks the return of drummer Paul Bostaph, who was extremely enthusiastic.
“Before I was in the band I was a fan and just because I’m the drummer doesn’t mean I stop being a fan: it just means my tickets are cheaper. After I left in 2002 I never thought I’d be sitting on the drum throne with the band again. This particular style of music delivers something for me, musically and physically, that’s challenging and exciting. I feel better as a player and I’m more mature and the band is maturing and getting better, like fine wine. It feels natural to be back and it’s good to be back with Kerry and Tom. The San Francisco Bay-area metal scene is very tight knit: everybody knows everybody. I consider Slayer to be part of that even though they’re from Southern California. Gary I played together in Exodus and he’s amazing – one of the godfathers of thrash with Exodus – so it’s like coming home for me. And we’re having fun and I think if we weren’t having fun we wouldn’t be doing this.”
Repentless marks a number of transitions for the band but with their undisputed attitude, Slayer emerges triumphant, says Tom. “After 35 years, the thing that Kerry and I share is our dedication to the band, and Jeff’s included in that. It’s the same with Gary. He’s been doing this a long time and he’s had the same commitment. It’s a common bond we share with a lot of musicians out there. I’m really excited about the new album, we’ve put a lot of work into it, Kerry especially, and it was all for Slayer.”
Repentless is loaded with sensational songs, from the hyper-aggressive metallic blasts of the title track, “Take Control”, “Implode” and “Atrocity Vendor” to the ferocious thrash pounding of “Vices” “When The Stillness Comes” and “Pride In Prejudice” the album is Slayer through and through. For Paul Bostaph it’s simple: “The songs are awesome.”
Tom puts it bluntly, “This is definitely Slayer. No one will be disappointed with what we’ve done.”
For Kerry King, the feeling is mutual. “Musically for me – it’s certainly not an “I told ya so” because Jeff’s not a part of it – but I do know that a lot of people assumed Slayer’s not going to be functional with Dave not being here and Jeff never being here again. But we did it and it fuckin’ sounds like Slayer – period.”
Slayer's place in music history is secure as one of The Big Four (alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax): they helped define the thrash-metal genre. With Repentless Kerry, Tom, Paul and Gary affirm that Slayer is unstoppable. Slayer continues fearlessly, aggressively and without contrition; and most importantly, fucking Slayer still rules!
jessica said her new furry friend would be lonely in the car all by herself all day, so i should take her into my office. well, i figured, since she was going to be there all day, she might as well help us out. i'm fairly certain we didn't violate any bear labor laws.
GWR King Class 4-6-0 6024 "King Edward I" heads through Sonning Cutting having stopped for passengers at Twyford station. This was the traditional London Paddington to Cardiff "Cathedrals Express" charter for St David's Day, seen between Twyford and Reading. The proceeds from the tour were donated towards the charity "Help for Heroes"
♫ ......'cause one time they were just like you.
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffin' glue.
Help the aged.. Don't just put them in a home.
Can't have much fun in there all on their own.
Lend a hand if you can, try to help them to unwind...
Give them hope and give them comfort 'cause they're running out of time...
In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever.
No big deal, so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise,
it's time you took an older lover, baby.
Teach you stuff, although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.
So help the aged.
'Cause one day you'll be older too.
You might need someone who can pull y' through.
And if you look very hard behind those lines upon their face,
You might see where you are heading and it's such a lonely place.

This young man saw Kathy and I handing out water and joined us in our efforts. It was so very hot and a few folks had passed out from over heating.
Okay I have no clue how many of you even will look at this photo since I haven't been on or uploaded to Flickr in months and months and like over a year :P But I would really appreciate your help! I finally started a wedding and portrait photography business and made a page on facebook. Apparently facebook doesn't allow you to suggest to friends anymore? Or maybe it's glitching, either way I don't want to look like an idiot with only like...10 people liking my page so if you could head over to facebook and "Like" "Sarah Jean Photography" I would REALLY appreciate it! Remember:

DC Talk ~ Colored People
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
We've gotta come together
And thank the Maker of us all
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist's heart
By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
We've gotta come together,
Aren't we all human after all?
Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lord's
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
[Oh, colored people]
We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space
[Yeah we've got to come together somehow]
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world
[Red and yellow, black and white]
We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl
[Colored people, colored people,
colored people, colored people, yeah]

Need a bit of help identifying these seven chaps, seen near Burrill Lake on the coast in New South Wales. I'm guessing red-winged parrots, but I'm probably wrong...

Chiltern Railways 168 113 runs through Bordesley station with 1H43 14.54 Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone. The station only sees one train a week, in one direction, so the help point probably doesn't see much use.
Pictures of Shrewsbury Cathedral
The Cathedral Church of Our Lady Help of Christians and Saint Peter of Alcantara, commonly known as Shrewsbury Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Shrewsbury, England. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewsbury and mother church of the Diocese of Shrewsbury which covers the historic counties of Shropshire and Cheshire.
The building of the cathedral was originally commissioned by John Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, the intended architect being Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin but both men died in 1852 before the work was expected to start. The succeeding nephew, the 17th Earl, Bertram Talbot offered to fund the building of the cathedral from which the new diocese of Shrewsbury would be based. The cathedral's design was taken over by Edward Pugin (the son of Augustus). Originally, a larger cathedral with a tall spire was planned. However, two years into the building of the cathedral, a stratum of sand was discovered very close to the building's foundations, causing them to be weaker than expected, so the spire had to be abandoned and the building scaled down. The Earl of Shrewsbury then agreed to meet the cost of a smaller church, and this was finished at a cost of £4,000, although the Earl died three months prior to its completion. In 1856, the cathedral was completed and was opened by Cardinal Wiseman.
The cathedral has several stained glass windows. The older set of windows are mostly from the stained glass company Hardman & Co. from Birmingham. The cathedral also has seven windows made during the second and third decades of the twentieth century by an artist inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, Margaret Agnes Rope. She was the daughter of a local doctor and had a studio in the Glass House in Fulham. Later, she became a Carmelite nun, following training in Dublin. Her cousin M. E. Aldrich Rope designed windows for St Peter and St Paul Church in Bromley among many other churches
I'm happy to tell you that I'm much recovered and back on the saddle again. I cannot say that was able to take it as slow as the doctor ordered, as I did put in long hours working on my newest creation, but I did try to take a break every hour and mind my posture while working.
The horrors of Japan: the earthquake, the tsunami that followed, the fires and the unspeakable risk of nuclear destruction have left my lingering in Dark Thoughts. I channelled these thoughts into a black and alarm yellow gown and will donate the profits to help Japan. *The gown is already sold.
The "Dark Thoughts" gown is made for Sybarite dolls and consists of a translucent and long sleeved corset bodysuit with garters and closed from the back with a row of buttons, net stockings with wide decorative lace, black and yellow shoes, a voluminous and richly rouched tulle petticoat that consumed more than three meters of tulle, and a sequinned over skirt with two trails. These parts can either be mixed and matched or worn together as a full and luxurious gown. This creation is also the very first to carry the embroidered em'lia logo tag. The fashion is photographed on Sybarite Queen B who I temporarily flocked with a matching yellow KatSilk flock.
The nest where this owlet were located was destroyed in a wildfire. Two owlets where rescue and are currently growing up under The Costa Rican Raptor Foundation supervision. They will be released to the wild when they reach adulthood.
As you may know, lots of resources and money goes into releasing these owls to the wild.
The Costa Rican Raptor Foundation (A non profit organization) is in charge of this project and its doing everything it can to release this owls succesfully.

I'd like to know if you had to choose between these two options, what would you do? Get those 4 smaller sets (misb), or spend another €160 and get the death star?
I'm not completely sure yet if I'm going to buy either of these, but I'm considering it.
LGB JUMBO 50100 INTERNALS this picture shows that once the red upper casing is off you can either take pictures of where the wires connect to on the main PCB power board and where the spade connectors go to as i did for future reference of where they all go to on the main PCB power board.
The removing of the red casing top involves the unscrewing and removing of the six main casing screws underneath the unit on the main baseplate that secures the main PCB board to the main baseplate.
Care must be taken not to lose any of the twelve plastic spacers that separate the main component PCB power board and the main internal transformer from the black baseplate to avoid it shorting out the electronics inside the main case when the transformer is fully assembled.
once the red casing is off after removing the main speed controller knob and the remaining red contol knobs that control all of the jumbos various control features that are unique to this massive LGB jumbo 10 amp power pack these control knobs may simply pull out of there push fit connection in the base of the rotary switches that they control they maybe fairly easy to remove but if not the last six remaining screws that secures the main internal transformer to the main PCB power board maybe removed to gain access to the rear of the rotary switches that these knobs are secured in order to release the five control knobs from the rear of the main PCB board and their rotay switches they inserted in to taking care not to pull on the wires that are soldered on to the VOLT and AMP meters to the main PCB power board and taking care not to loose any of the other six of the twelve white plastic spacers that seperate the main PCB cicuit board from the black metal baseplate that forms the outer part of the bottom casing of this unit.
the red casing can then be removed after taking note where all of the various wires go to on the main PCB board or you can simply follow my easy to guide you are reading now to tell you where all of these wires go to on the main PCB board as you can see in this picture.
This concludes my tutorial on the LGB JUMBO 50100 transformer and hope it was very useful to everyone who needed follow this tutorial to service or to repair and replace the jumbos components and required extra help in the reassembly of their jumbo 50100 transformer.
I wrote this LGB JUMBO servicing tutorial as there was nothing like this on the internet web at all and upon doing a google search of the LGB JUMBO nothing came up with a tutorial about the internal servicing of this LGB jumbo transformer power pack.
and as there were lots of questions on the servicing and repair of this LGB jumbo transformer unit i thought i would write a tutorial upon replacing my own LGB jumbo main transformer unit.

Western North Carolina’s Pigeon River, home to the endangered Appalachian elktoe mussel, is also home to an annual Kids in the Creek event, hosted by local watershed group Haywood Waterways. This year, over the course of three days, every eighth-grade student in the county visited the Pigeon River, where they rotated through a number of educational stations focused on stream health. Stations included watershed health, water chemistry, fish, and macroinvertebrates. Because the river is habitat for an endangered mussel, for years now the Service has helped with the macroinvertebrate station, leading students in the collection and identification of stream insects and other invertebrates.
