My husband bought me a new sewing machine last night and I LOVE it! I've never had training in sewing, but I wanted to try my hand at making some clothes for my dolls. What do you think?
SD Gas & Electric has the best high voltage signs.
Note the subliminal "09/11" at bottom center of the sign. Huh?

"A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons." Richard Bach
Marble sarcophagus with the Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons
Period:
Late Imperial, Gallienic
Date:
ca. A.D. 260–270
Culture:
Roman
This highly ornate and extremely well-preserved Roman marble sarcophagus came to the Metropolitan Museum from the collection of the dukes of Beaufort and was formerly displayed in their country seat, Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England. An inscription on the unfinished back of the sarcophagus records that it was installed there in 1733. In contrast to the rough and unsightly back, the sides and front of the sarcophagus are decorated with forty human and animal figures carved in high relief. The central figure is that of the god Dionysos seated on a panther, but he is somewhat overshadowed by four larger standing figures who represent the four Seasons (from left to right, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall). The figures are unusual in that the Seasons are usually portrayed as women, but here they are shown as sturdy youths. Around these five central figures are placed other Bacchic figures and cultic objects, all carved at a smaller scale. On the rounded ends of the sarcophagus are two other groups of large figures, similarly intermingled with lesser ones. On the left end, Mother Earth is portrayed reclining on the ground; she is accompanied by a satyr and a youth carrying fruit. On the right end, a bearded male figure, probably to be identified with the personification of a river-god, reclines in front of two winged youths, perhaps representing two additional Seasons.
The sarcophagus is an exquisite example of Roman funerary art, displaying all the virtuosity of the workshop where it was carved. The marble comes from a quarry in the eastern Mediterranean and was probably shipped to Rome, where it was worked. Only a very wealthy and powerful person would have been able to commission and purchase such a sarcophagus, and it was probably made for a member of one of the old aristocratic families in Rome itself. The subjects - the triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons - are unlikely, however, to have had any special significance for the deceased, particularly as it is clear that the design was copied from a sculptor's pattern book. Another sarcophagus, now in the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Kassel, Germany, has the same composition of Dionysos flanked by the four Seasons, although the treatment and carving of the figures is quite different. On the Badminton sarcophagus the figures are carved in high relief and so endow the crowded scene with multiple areas of light and shade, allowing the eye to wander effortlessly from one figure to another. One must also imagine that certain details were highlighted with color and even gilding, making the whole composition a visual tour de force.
Very few Roman sarcophagi of this quality have survived. Although the Badminton sarcophagus lacks its lid, the fact that it was found in the early eighteenth century and soon thereafter installed in Badminton Hall means that it has been preserved almost intact and only a few of the minor extremities are now missing.
The High Stone
The High Stone, Leytonstone.
Near the stone there is a plaque with the description below:
The High Stone has stood in roughly this location since the early part of the eighteenth century. The name Leytonstone means the part of Leyton near the Stone.
It was originally a mile marker and showed distances to Epping, Ongar, Whitechapel, and Hyde Park Corner on three of its faces. The current obelisk dates only from the 1930s when the original stone was damaged by a vehicle and replaced. The base is likely to be a remnant of the eighteenth century stone although legend insists it is of Roman origin.
There was a mail coach robbery here in 1757 by a highwayman called Matthew Snat. Snat was later convicted of the crime and after his execution his body was hung in chains near the stone as a warning to others.
The stone was moved and its setting improved in 2013 in a project jointly funded by Redbridge Council Area 1 Committee and English Heritage. This plaque was installed at the same time.
The inscription on the stone:
South side: TO / ONGAR / XV MILES / THROUGH / WOODFORD / BRIDGE / CHIGWELL / ABRIDGE
North side: TO / EPPING / XI MILES / THROUGH / WOODFORD / LOUGHTON
West side: TO / STONES END / WHITECHAPEL / M.F.P. / 6.0.24 / STANDARD / CORNHILL / M.F.P. / 6.5.21 / HYDE PARK CORNER / 10M OF 31P

The High Street in Oxford, England, runs between Carfax, generally recognized as the centre of the city, and Magdalen Bridge to the east.
The street has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the world's great streets". It forms a gentle curve and is the subject of many prints, paintings, photographs, etc. The vista looking west towards Carfax with University College on the left and The Queen's College on the right is an especially popular view. There are many historical buildings on the street, including the University of Oxford buildings and colleges. Locally the street is often known as The High.
