I also had a hard time with which stitch to use. I finally decided on a simple cross stitch as I think it matched the fabric better then the rose bud stitch that I had originally started to sew.

Theme: Stripes
When I thought "Stripes", I thought "Zebra". It was automatic
(e.g. the pop band "The Stripes" in my mind was "The Zebras")
When I thought "Stripes" without "Zebra" some mental block happened because I couldn't see "Stripe" as the dictionary says: "a line of one colour on a background of a different colour" (McMillan): the format of the line in my mind had to be somehow irregular, like the Zebra's stripes :). So, I think I've learned a lesson with this week's theme.

The RKCX wagons are open wagons designed to carry merchant bar steel, which is typically galvanized steel used in a variety of applications. RKCX wagons are often fitted with tarpaulins to protect the steel from the elements during transport.
Limited to 80km/h, these wagons can carry up to 57 tonnes of steel products, with a total gross weight of 80 tonnes. The class is made up of former SA/Vic ELX type open wagons.

After retrieving empty centerbeams from Lake States Lumber, Soo 4450 and 4424 ease up to the end of track at CP Rice's Point Yard in Duluth on Feb. 5, 2012. Once the pair of GP38-2s run around their cars here at the yard, they will continue switching on this Sunday afternoon. CP usually runs a train to Duluth every Sunday morning, but usually they don't stay on duty and work the yard.
Overhead power line
An overhead power line is an electric power transmission line suspended by towers or utility poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are generally the lowest-cost method of transmission for large quantities of electric energy. Towers for support of the lines are made of wood (as-grown or laminated), steel (either lattice structures or tubular poles), concrete, aluminum, and occasionally reinforced plastics. The bare wire conductors on the line are generally made of aluminum (either plain or reinforced with steel, or sometimes composite materials), though some copper wires are used in medium-voltage distribution and low-voltage connections to customer premises. A major goal of overhead power line design is to maintain adequate clearance between energized conductors and the ground so as to prevent dangerous contact with the line. Today overhead lines are routinely operated at voltages exceeding 765,000 volts between conductors, with even higher voltages possible in some cases.

The William and Mary men’s basketball team led from start to finish and pushed its home-court winning streak to 14 games with a 77-58 victory over Elon on Wednesday night at Kaplan Arena. W&M shot 49 percent from the floor, knocked down ten 3-pointers and connected on 17-of-20 from the free throw line in outdistancing Elon. W&M remained in first place in the CAA at 10-3 in league and 16-8 overall, while Elon dropped to 11-15 on the year and 3-10 in CAA play.
Omar Prewitt led the Tribe, scoring 18 of his game-high 19 points in the first half to go with seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. Sean Sheldon picked up his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Marcus Thornton finished with 17 points and three assists.
The Tribe jumped out to an early advantage thanks in large part to the play of Prewitt and Sheldon. They combined for 24 of the Tribe’s opening 28 points as the Green and Gold opened up a double-digit advantage. W&M scored 11 of game’s first 13 points as four straight from Sheldon, including a pair of free throws, gave W&M the nine-point cushion.
Five straight from Elon closed the gap to 11-7 at the 13:51 mark, but W&M responded with and 8-2 run, including six from Prewitt. His 3-pointer from the left side extended the Tribe lead to 19-9. The Tribe lead remained in double digits, jumping to 30-15 on a Thornton setback jumper with four and a half minutes left in the half. The margin was 11 points following an Elijah Bryant jumper at the 3:20 mark, before the home team ripped off a 12-2 run to push its advantage over 20.
Connor Burchfield provided W&M with a huge lift off the bench, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. A steal and fast break bucket from Thornton gave W&M a 17-point advantage and forced an Elon timeout. The Green and Gold run continued on a tough finish inside from Sheldon and a pair of Prewitt free throws, extending the lead to 42-21 with a minute left in the first half. W&M led by 19 at the intermission after shooting 51.7 percent (15-of-29), while limiting Elon to 36 percent (9-of-25) in the opening 20 minutes.
The visiting Phoenix scored eight of first 11 in the second half to draw within 14 points. Hamilton scored six straight points for Elon, including a steal and fast break lay-up to close the visitors to within 45-31 with 16:45 left.
After failing to hit a 3-pointer in the opening 20 minutes, Thornton knocked down back-to-back triples, including one of the step-back variety, to push the lead back to 18, 51-33, and the Phoenix never got closer than 15 points the rest of the way. His fast break lay-up off a Sheldon defensive rebound and look-ahead pass gave W&M a 60-40 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.
The cushion reached as many as 23 on a pair of occasions, including on Thornton’s third 3-pointer of the second half with 2:50 to play. From there, both teams emptied the bench and W&M picked up a 77-58 win, its 16th of the season. The 16 wins rank 10th in program history.
In a stark contrast from the earlier meeting this season, W&M limited Elon to just 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) from 3-point range, including only 1-of-14 from its top two scorers in Bryant and Tanner Samson. The Phoenix duo was 12-of-22 from long range and combined for 45 points in their home win over the Tribe in January. Elon finished the game shooting 40.3 percent (25-of-62) from the floor. Bryant led Elon with 15 points and 10 rebounds, but was just 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 from 3-point range. Samson, who had 20 in the first meeting, finished with just two points and was 0-of-10 from 3-point range. Hamilton added 13 points, while Christian Hairston tallied 10 off the bench.
Playing without the services of guard Daniel Dixon, who was out due to injury, the Tribe received a number of contributions, especially from its freshman class. Rookie Oliver Tot garnered his first career start, finishing with three rebounds and two assists in a strong floor game. Greg Malinowski added six points, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers, to go along with two assists and fellow classmate Burchfield poured in six points on two 3-pointers. Tom Schalk added six points, four rebounds and a career-high three blocked shots off the bench.
W&M shot 49 percent (25-of-51) on the night, including a 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) effort from 3-point range. The Green and Gold continued its strong free throw shooting, connecting on 85 percent (17-of-20) from the charity stripe. The Tribe out rebounded Elon, 36-30, and dished out 14 assists on its 25 made field goals.

The High Line is an elevated park converted from an old freight railroad that ran above the streets of New York City. The elevated railroad lifted trains 30 feet in the air and removed the dangerous freight trains from the streets of Manhattan.
The non-profit, Friends of the High Line, worked with mayor Michael Bloomberg and city council to reverse the decision to demolish the High Line and instead convert it into a public park, and also led the design process of the transformation.

Bunker SJ 6
The Mannerheim Line was a defensive fortification line on the Karelian Isthmus built by Finland against the Soviet Union. During the Winter War it became known as the Mannerheim Line, after Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim. The line was constructed in two phases: 1920–1924 and 1932–1939. By November 1939, when the Winter War began, the line was by no means complete.
The line was fortified with several bunkers that are still left.

This gentleman (perhaps unknowingly) is walking the line of a medieval road that ran from St Cuthbert’s Church at the west end of Princes Street to the village of Stockbridge - the road became Gloucester Lane (formerly named Church Lane) flowing to Gloucester Street down to Stockbridge. The road predates the building of the New Town in the late 18th Century and the current buildings featured on this street are now former coachhouses to the New Town properties on Heriot Row, Darnaway Street and Moray Place.

I have had a bunch of little colored glasses around for a long time now.
At this point I have about nine less.
This is a picture of the last moments of three of those glasses. If you look closely you can see the steel bearing over the blue water. It was a little high and may be skipping over the surface of the liquid.
Cheers.

Stalin Line was a conventional name of the chain of fortifications built in 1930s in the western border of Soviet Union to prevent any invasion of the Bourgeois armies against the only state of workers and peasants. Minsk Fortified Area (35 km from Minsk, Belarus) was one of the elements of that chain. After the Second World War it was abandoned and again revived only in 2000s as a large attraction for fans of military reconstruction games. Why not to organize a small “battle” during the snowy winter?

My Mother-In-Law and Wife thought this looked like a picture of the world from the sky, so that's why it's called the "coast line".

The judges pulled up in their electric cart and wanted to go through a finish line banner, so the volunteers held out a remnant of the banner broken by the last float to come through.
