Fannie May Candy, has been a Chicago icon since 1920. Last year the Archibold Candy Company went bankrupt, closed the factory in Chicago's West Loop, and shuttered most of its stores. Employees who had worked there for decades were layed off. Fannie May was eventually bought out by Alpine confections, a company based in Utah, which reopened many of the stores, but not the Chicago factory.
Fannie May is just one of many Chicago candy brands, including Marshall Field's famous Frango Mints, which are no longer made in Chicago. This site has been bought by a developer who is reportedly planning to put "big box" retail stores there.
This seemed like a fitting image to take on the week before Valentines Day. Before the closing, people would be standing in long lines here, waitng to buy Fannie May candy.
Pictures from the Vanarama National League North clash at Broadhurst Park between FC United of Manchester and Darlington.
The game finished in a hard fought 3-2 victory for Darlo. who were 2-0 up inside 27 minutes.
Hardy opended the scoring for the visitors latching onto a superb ball from Thompson before slipping the ball past the advancing keeper.
Quakers went two-up on 27 minutes but it should have been more as thye spurned a host of chnaces. Liam Marrs’ free-kick was headed down by Mark Beck for Hardy to lay off in turn for Thompson to fire across Frith.
Against the run of play United pulled a goal back on 42 minutes when Jason Gilchrist spotted Jameson off his line, and chipped the ball over the keeper followed by an equaliser on 66 minutes from Thomson.
A draw looked on the cards however with 10 minutes left subsititute Cartman cleverly found Purewal with an overhead kick for his fellow sub to charge up the left. His ball to the far post was blocked, but it came back out to Cartman, who struck a low shot that took a deflection and beat the keeper to make it 3-2. Darlo were able to weather a late storm to secure all 3 points!

You are not on 5th Avenue walking your dog, rushing before having to go back to the office, where there might be some new lay-offs in the most stressful week ever...
Relax... you are still on your sunbed in the Caribbean, you just closed your eyes, probably fell asleep for a second... your frozen daiquirí is coming up.
Dreaming is easy. And it's free.
5th Avenue (indeed).

2/25/08 – A couple more TV shows mentions, then I’ll lay off the TV pics for awhile (maybe…definitely excludes “Lost”).
Have my Monday night line up bookmarked:
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles - Even though I missed the 1st 2 episodes, and anywhere from 5 – 30 minutes (work) of each episode thereafter, I am grooving on this show. It is more in the vein of the original Terminator movie…if you’re expecting the over-the-top action feel of the sequels you’re going to be sorely disappointed. This series is touching upon a lot of interesting themes. One of my favorites is when they ran into a terminator who’s mission didn’t involve the assassination of John, but the gathering and protection of supplies…of course Skynet would set itself up for post-Judgment Day. My favorite episode so far is where Derek Reese (Kyle’s brother…aka: John Conner’s father from the original Terminator) is remembering the events leading up to him being sent back to the present. While a prisoner, he meets one of the creators of Skynet. This scientist said they lost control of Skynet because it was afraid (oh, and Skynet originally started as an AI chess computer). Then there’s Cameron, the female Terminator sent back to protect John. With the season finale next Monday, hopefully we’ll find out if Cameron is going bad or, if not, what her agenda is.
&
Medium - Probably the best written show on TV right now. The writers do a great job in melding the crime-of-the-week story and Allison’s family life. The actors & actresses are often put through the ringer on this show, especially during the chaotic breakfast scenes. The dream sequences are also unique and creatively brilliant (tonight it was a silent movie). I am happy to see NBC has finally moved it back to Monday’s. Hopefully in the fall we can get the Chuck, Heroes, Medium line up…and if Fox doesn’t cancel Sarah Conner Chronicles (which they probably will because they’re Fox and they like to cancel they’re really good SF shows…like Firefly & Wonderfalls…before they build an audience), I’ll be getting myself a DVR by September.
Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson NJ was built during the Great Depression with grants from the federal government. A large portion of the labor came from layed off mill workers in Paterson NJ.
That federal investment in a construction project gave Paterson a 10,000 seat stadium that was used through the mid-1990s. Now in need a major renovations voters approved a ballot measure in 2009 to restore this historic structure.

ok, so i'm no runner (by any means), but i just signed up to run a 5k at this years race for the cure. Breast cancer hits close to home for me, as my mother is a breast cancer survivor. Both of my grandmothers also had breast cancer (my dad's mom will be 96 this year!). My mom's mom had a mastectomy before I was born, and survived another 15 or so years cancer-free before the cancer came back. She fought a tough fight for several years, and passed away a few days before I graduated high school.
I'll be running in honor of my mom and grandma roeser, and in memory of my grandma fec. Having breast cancer run in my family as it does means my sisters and I need to be extra careful. I'd like to raise money and do whatever I can to make sure that when I have a daughter, she doesn't need to worry about it.
So I have two months to get in respectable enough shape to run a 5k without completely humiliating myself. (This might mean I need to lay off the iced vanilla coffees for a while). I don't plan on finishing first, I just want to finish. My goal is to raise $150. If you would like to support me in the race, you can donate online here. I'll be posting updates on my progress on my blog, so stay tuned...

Ship fitters use wooden templates to create the steel plates that form the hull and bulkheads of the ship. On the left side of the painting, men with hammers are striking a punch to outline with prick marks the shape to which the metal will be cut. Once all the plates are cut, each is labeled with information to identify its exact position on the finished vessel.
Yesterday was the trial of three union leaders charged with instigating an attack on a German consular official during a German - Greek conference on local authority governance. The trial was once again postponed till 28th November after key prosecution witnesses failed to turn up.
The charges are widely seen by Greek trade unions and political activist as an attempt to intimidate local authority employees who have have been waging a campaign of resistance against the first in a series of planned lay offs in town and county councils across Greece. The cuts in jobs and salaries are being demanded by the country's creditors in return for the release of the next tranche of bailout funds.
However, whether Athens will be able to impose its will on recalcitrant public sector workers is moot as just 25 of the Greece's 340 councils have submitted the names of employees to the laid off. In addition over 200 town and county council halls are currently under occupation.

You may (or may not) have noticed I havn't been very active lately on flickr. This is not to do with me losing interest at all but more to do with me having a rather larger project on than usual. For the last five months or so I have been busy at work in the shed building completely from the ground up a 1926 Morris Cowley. I've had all the parts for ages, just rusting away in the woolshed and early this year I decided I might as well do something with them. The vehicle used to be (many moons ago) the butchers van for a town near where I live but was disassembled decades ago for reasons unknown. I've mannaged to find out that the last time the motor ran was a good 60 years ago at least and even then it was used to power a saw bench. The restoration should hopefully take a year and a bit from now to complete at a push but since I'm on temporary lay-off from work I should be able to get quite a bit done. This is not a goodbye by any means, more of a grey age than a dark age. I'm more than happy to put up the odd photo of my progress if anyone is interested. So just so you know, I am still alive, just busy with a different, much bigger project than usual.
Thanks for your time,
Nicholas Carter
People like to pick on Detroit, which I consider my hometown even though I grew up in the suburbs (have YOU ever heard of Berkley, Royal Oak, or Birmingham? I didn't think so). It irks me to no end to hear people slamming my city; usually a) they've never been to Detroit, and if they have, they've not spent much time there, or at least not enough; b) oftentimes their own hometown has problems of its own that are all too obvious to everyone, and they really need to stop calling the kettle...well, you know; c) they often do this for the sole purpose of getting a Detroiter's ire up or being petty, and this sort of intentional goading is just plain childish.
Trust me, the sensible folks know there are problems and what they are.
Michiganders and Detroiters are proud of our state and city. Though Detroit's once-gleaming grandeur is faded, decaying in places, and worn thin, it's hard for a native to drive downtown and look at those stunning buildings (the ones that led to Detroit being called "The Art Deco Capital of the World") and not be proud of what she was and, under a better hand, could be. We look at fellow Detroiters who are working hard—and there are some, believe me—still actually working despite the name-calling, the odds, the snide remarks and a poor economy, and we're proud of each other, and the city and her people become more deeply entrenched within our hearts during every encounter.
You might feel close to the same about your city, but I'm not sure the intensity level is the same. In fact...I kind of doubt it is. Detroit has become personal to her people. The constant attacks and slurs aimed at Detroit, once the nation's heartbeat, the old Arsenal of Democracy, one whose beauty we can still see, whose future we have faith will be bright again one day, have made it only dearer to us, more beloved.
Detroit has gone from being Secretariat to a $2500 claimer, but one that has good bones and just needs better training and care. The stupid comments too many make about Detroit cut to the quick because over the years, our hearts and the city have somehow become soldered together; it's love somehow strengthened by our sadness.
So don't rip on Detroit. If you're not from here, we don't mind genuinely helpful ideas or suggestions, but keep your bitterness, your insults, and your snotty remarks to yourself. I don't come to your city—or worse, sit in a faraway town—and call your town names (unless you're playing my Red Wings, but that is another matter entirely!), so don't do it to mine. It's personal.
Not sure why I'm on a tear, but it's probably that we just spent five days in Michigan, in Detroit, and I love it so much despite the terrible sadness I feel when I'm in some of the worst neighborhoods, watching and talking to the people. It hurts seeing what has happened—it physically hurts. My heart breaks. So seriously, lay off Detroit. Stop kicking folks who are down and bite your tongue or lend a hand.

Halifax, Canada Jan 2023 - This time around the IIHF Men's World Juniors hockey tournament is being held in Canada. No games were shown on CBC, and many Canadians were unable to watch Canada's finest male Junior hockey players incl Connor Badard play in their home Country and win the Gold for Canada ?
However, although CBC ignored and did not televise any of the IIHF Men's junior hockey games played, they were sure to make daily news reports and give a lot of air time focusing on an alleged past scandal that had involved a previous Men's IIHF Junior hockey team ? cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-...

However, CBC shows a different attitude when it comes to supporting or televising many pro sporting events played by male athletes such as the Grey Cup, FIFA, Copa America international Men's soccer football and the Men's World Juniors, and so a huge Canadian fan base is not able to watch Canada's star male pro athletes like Acadia Axemen footballer Bailey Feltmate in the Grey Cup, or Nova Scotia's Jacob Shaffelburg in the Copa international Men's soccer tournament or Connor Badard in the IIHF World Men's Juniors hockey tournament ?

Feb 2024 - Halifax Nova Scotia,
Bell media and CTV have deafened and blindfolded many East Coast residents after eliminating many critical hours of local and community news programming in the Atlantic region ?
Recent Bell Canada Corporate decisions have now left many Maritimers in a vulnerable position ? East Coast Provinces appear to be the target of severe local live Newstime cancellations and these cut-backs have left many Maritimers without their daily Noon news hour updates that are broadcast everyday all week long ? ATV viewers will now be forced to tune into the other station (CBC) where CBC tends to run mostly world international news along with their select choice of the National News, along with lengthy live news conferences that are put on by the PM and other liberal party members ?
Aside from terminating the popular weekday ATV Noon hour news show, CTV has also downsized in half the very popular and iconic , 'ATV live at five' 5 P.M. local community news program, (prompting long time popular host Jason Baxter to seek early retirement) ? Adding to the devistating loss of this much needed news reporting that is traditionally broadcast every week, Bell will also now terminate all weekend Saturday and Sunday local news reporting currently running on ATV ? The cancellation and elimination of so much allotted local news airtime that is normally given to Atlantic Canadians surely threatens the safety and security of residents especially now that there will be a 24 hour local news blackout for 2 full days each and every weekend and even for as much as 3 consecutive days every holiday long weekend ? And so it seems that arch rival CBC has taken over prime time live local news reporting in the Maritimes and Bell Canada is blaming the Liberal Government's new Bill C-18 for them having to slash so many prime time hours of local and Provincial news coverage in the Maritimes ?

Fans are upset after CBC had broadcast the first 5 games of the Men's NHL Dallas vs Oilers series, and then, without warning and for no logical reason, CBC blacked out the critical and most important climactic final game that saw Edmonton win and gain entry into the Stanley Cup finals ? It remains unclear why CBC would do this ? Was it arrogance, or was it to be mean spirited, or was it a gender bias issue due to this being Men's pro hockey, or was it maybe a lesson given out to remind Canadians just who is running this Countries main media and who controls the programming ? v=iW0yzPhwC4s" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW0yzPhwC4s

the fans are confused ? After Connor McDavid and other NHL Superstar heroes played starring roles in glamorous new betMGM ads to promote gambling on their websites, numerous complaints were filed. And so they eased up on the image of a Sports hero who encourages and participates in gambling although the McDavid image itself was not to be disconnected from the gambling vice or from the lucrative gambling industry ? A new corrected version will now show Connor as an ambassador for safe and responsible gambling whenever you gamble ? But isn't it still gambling ? see news article, "Connor McDavid's latest gambling ad with Bet MGM sparks outrage among his fans,"

I'm laying off the heavy camera because i have "tennis" elbow from too much camera use. So I'm going back through some older shots and trying different processing. The okapi is one of my favorites. I knocked out the circular ring in the first one but I really like it with the vertical bars.
Pictures from the Vanarama National League North clash at Broadhurst Park between FC United of Manchester and Darlington.
The game finished in a hard fought 3-2 victory for Darlo. who were 2-0 up inside 27 minutes.
Hardy opended the scoring for the visitors latching onto a superb ball from Thompson before slipping the ball past the advancing keeper.
Quakers went two-up on 27 minutes but it should have been more as thye spurned a host of chnaces. Liam Marrs’ free-kick was headed down by Mark Beck for Hardy to lay off in turn for Thompson to fire across Frith.
Against the run of play United pulled a goal back on 42 minutes when Jason Gilchrist spotted Jameson off his line, and chipped the ball over the keeper followed by an equaliser on 66 minutes from Thomson.
A draw looked on the cards however with 10 minutes left subsititute Cartman cleverly found Purewal with an overhead kick for his fellow sub to charge up the left. His ball to the far post was blocked, but it came back out to Cartman, who struck a low shot that took a deflection and beat the keeper to make it 3-2. Darlo were able to weather a late storm to secure all 3 points!
