I took this photograph on the exit of Lodge Corner during the Guards Trophy GTSR Race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2008. It's Phil Bennett in his 1958 Lister Knobbly which has the 3,781cc version of the Jaguar XK6 engine. Brian Lister started producing sports cars in 1954 first with an MG engine and later with a Bristol engine, but he had the most success with the 1957 car which used the Jaguar D-type engine. The first version of this car was known at the time as a Lister-Jaguar, but after the 1959 car was given a smoother aerodynamic body designed by Frank Costin (and designed to use the Chevrolet Corvette powerplant) the more bulbous earlier car became known as the Lister Knobbly.

Listed Building Grade II
List Entry Number : 1379746
Date First Listed : 18 August 1975
Built 1859/60, the pier, originally designed by J. W. Brunlees, was extended in 1864 and 1868, shortened in 1897, and has suffered two fires. The Southport Pier Tramway was installed in 1864, and a new pavilion was built in 2001–02 to replace an earlier pavilion destroyed by fire in 1933. The pier is 3,650 feet (1,113 m) long, it is built in cast iron with four rows of columns carrying girders, and has a wooden deck.
Listed by the Federal Government as Endangered (effective from 21 December 2023) due to its limited distribution on the Central & Northern Plateaus of Tasmania above 1,000 metres, being above the tree and snow lines, and its susceptibility to a warming climate. This specimen & others located here were all found at circa 1,500 metres asl.

The Grade II* Listed Church of St Edmund, in Castleton a village in the Peak District, Derbyshire.
St Edmund's Church was restored about 1837. It has late 13th-century tracery and an ashlar-faced Perpendicular tower. Its box pews are dated 1661, 1662, 1663 and 1676.
Castleton is situated between the gritstone plateau of the Dark Peak to the north and the gentler limestone scenery of the White Peak to the south. It lies at the western end of the Hope Valley and consequently is surrounded on three sides by hills. Most prominent is the ridge to the north. This is called Great Ridge; it runs east from Mam Tor to Back Tor and Lose Hill, via the pass (hause) of Hollins Cross, where paths from many directions converge and cross over to Edale.
Castleton village was mentioned as Pechesers in Domesday Book in 1086 where "Arnbiorn and Hundingr held the land of William Peverel's castle in Castleton". This land and Peverel's castle were amongst the manors belonging to William Peverel that also included Bolsover and Glapwell.
Castleton prospered from lead mining; the Odin Mine, one of the oldest lead mines in the country, is situated 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) west of the village (see also Derbyshire lead mining history). This created and enlarged local caverns, four of which are now open to the public as Peak Cavern, Blue John Cavern, Speedwell Cavern and Treak Cliff Cavern. A small amount of Blue John is mined locally. Since the 1920s the main mineral industry in the area has been cement. Hope Cement Works is closer to Hope, but its quarry is closer to Castleton.

The Glenmore Hotel is a heritage-listed pub located at 96-98 Cumberland Street, in the inner city Sydney suburb of The Rocks in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by the Tooth and Co. resident architects and built in 1921 by D. M. Mitchell. The property is owned by Property NSW, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 10 May 2002.
The subject site is known to have been occupied from the early years of 1800, although it is likely that, like the other ridges of The Rocks, it was occupied by the encampment of settlers in the first weeks of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. Originally a residential area for the wealthier people in the colony, away from and above the hospital and its gardens, Meehan's 1807 plan shows a schematic shaded area representing buildings, although these are very sparse in the area of the site. The 1835 Russell Survey of Section 87 Town of Sydney shows part of the site, specifically allotment number 12, was owned by Andrew Coss whose pub, The Punch Bowl, was within the site curtilage between 1832 and 1834. It is thought that a hotel may have been there as early as 1816. Previously Coss had been the proprietor of a pub of the same name in Cambridge Street and after 1834 the license was transferred to Argyle Street. To the north, number 11 is owned by James and Ann Curtis.
In 1864 The Sydney Sands Directory lists Peter Stanton, Grocer, James Harris and George Bainbridge, Master Mariner occupying the houses on the site and Doves plan of 1880 shows three houses, presumably the same ones, at 80-84 Cumberland Street. According to the Sands Directory, they were occupied by Charles William Heydon, Shipwright and John Smith, number 82 being vacant. In the 1870s Belleek Terrace, which was mentioned in the Commission into Chinese gambling and corruption in the police force, occupied the site on Gloucester Walk and was not demolished until the beginning of World War I.
By 1900, Charles Crichton, Storekeeper and Frank Duncan, Boot Maker are listed at 80 Cumberland Street, while 84 was occupied by John Byrnes and Walter L. Whetton was at 86, both of whom lived in the terraces until 1910. The 1901 Darling Harbour Resumption Plan shows block 285 as part of the estate of Francis Smith, Trustees John Powell and Fred K. Smith. At this time the depth of the site at its centre line between Cumberland and Gloucester Streets was only 13 metres.
The current Glenmore Hotel is the second hotel in Cumberland Street to bear that name. The first Glenmore Hotel was located to the north of the current hotel on the western side of the street and had been condemned principally because of the imminent construction of the southern approaches to the Harbour Bridge. In April 1919 the Housing Board wrote to Tooth & Co that the hotel was "ruinous and dilapidated" and "the Board will be glad to know whether you would be prepared to treat for a 50-years building lease of the site occupied by this Hotel, as, if so, then we will be prepared to consider the same." Tooth & Co accepted the offer of the new site next to the Argyle Cut and accepted the stipulation that the new building would cost more than £4,000.
It appears that a contract was let for £6,030 in late 1919 or early 1920 with a builder, D. M. Mitchell. By April 1920 the project had come to a halt due to the tardiness of the Water Board in relaying drains in the vicinity of the site. The Builder claimed £257 damages for the delay but the claim was waived after a restructured contract had been agreed to in which Mitchell would not claim his 7.5% fee on the amount that the contract exceeded £7,500. To counter the extreme topography of the site bisecting the ridge between Millers Point and The Rocks, the cellars for the new building were cut to the level of Gloucester Street, effectively destroying the bulk of the archaeological evidence of any previous subdivisions and earlier buildings.
By June 1921 the project was becoming sufficiently complete for Tooth & Co to accept a quotation from Bebarfald's Ltd for furnishing the hotel. It appears that the new hotel opened in July 1921 as the old Glenmore Hotel was handed over to the Housing Board on 5 July 1921. The final cost of the hotel is recorded as having been £7,905/7/4. Some of this information conflicts with that of the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority.
The subsequent history of the Glenmore Hotel has been fairly uneventful which is typical of other hotels in the Upper Rocks. A few licensees lost their license for in breach of legislation (e.g. trading after hours) and trade fell off during the depression, which coincided with the hotel's loss of clients when the houses opposite were demolished for construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Trade was also badly affected for a few years around 1952 when Cumberland Street was blocked off due to the unsafe nature of the bridge over Argyle Street (the bridge bearing similar cracks to the Glenmore Hotel itself).
The fabric of the building remained remarkably intact until the 1950s when significant interior alterations were made, especially the removal of the canopy to the bar. The building suffered structural problems from the outset with a continual record of cracks to the walls and parapets which eventually led to the alterations made by the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority in 1973 when the tiled bar was shortened and in 1975 when the parapets were removed, the Cumberland Street balconies, the kitchen stairs and the roof top laundry were removed, and a reinforced concrete ring beam and metal handrail was installed to the top of the walls to restrain them. Another major exterior alteration is the painting of the south and east walls of the hotel, assumed to be done under SCRA. The hotel was refurbished in 2005.
The Glenmore Hotel and site are of State heritage significance for their historical and scientific cultural values. The site and building are also of State heritage significance for their contribution to The Rocks area which is of State Heritage significance in its own right. The Glenmore Hotel was constructed c. 1921 by prominent Sydney brewery Tooth & Co and was designed in the Inter-war Georgian Revival style of architecture by a Tooth & Co resident architect. The Hotel contributes to the historic, aesthetic and social values of the state significant precinct of The Rocks through its use, architectural style, building form, streetscape contribution and period of construction.
The Glenmore Hotel is significant to the local area for its historic and aesthetic values. It is historically representative of changing hotel operations during the 20th century due to shifting legislation and drinking habits. These changes are embodied in the fabric of the building and are evident in the continuation of the original accommodation uses; the provision of additional facilities such as bathrooms; and the altering of redundant spaces, such as the former parlour, for new uses. The Hotel is historically associated with the prominent Sydney brewery Tooth & Co and its form, fabric and architectural style is representative of Tooths attempt to improve the image of hotels and drinking during the Inter-war period. Aesthetically, the Glenmore Hotel is representative of the Georgian Revival style of architecture that was popular during the Inter-war period for the reconstruction or remodelling of earlier hotels. The characteristic features of the hotel include face brick walling, rendered and painted details, external tiling, regular fenestration, symmetrical facade, and multi-paned sash windows. As with most hotels, the Glenmore Hotel has been altered with the removal of the original facade balconies, parapet and bar although, the internal spaces have remained largely intact.
Glenmore Hotel was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 10 May 2002 having satisfied the following criteria.

Listed Building Grade II
List Entry Number : 1218825
Date First Listed : 15 February 1993
Originally designed in 1899 for the Manchester and County Bank by Mills and Murgatroyd in Tudor style, it was later used for other purposes. The building stands on a corner site, and is in red brick with red sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with a canted corner, it is mainly in a single storey, and has fronts of three and five bays. On the corner is a Tudor arched doorway with an elaborately carved surround, above which is a panelled parapet and a shaped gable containing a plaque with the date.
This is a list of available options in which I will start a contest:
1. Expand the Multi Sharp universe (even though I own most of the characters), create a villain or hero who can be independent or part of a group but no more than 5 people. If the characters get my approval, then I'll put it in my stories. Characters have to be a little more realistic than usual, no boundaries on nationalities or etc.
2. Submit your version of mixing a villain with a hero, can be both from Marvel or DC, for example Bronze Tiger + Superman, Nova + Doctor Doom, or even Lex Luthor + Nightwing.
3. Cyberpunk/dystopia and fantasy combined, could be a set build or just plain figs. Can be with stories.
4. Mou lei tau, which is Cantonese for something nonsensical, ridiculous and makes completely no sense. It is often comical and involves slapstick humour. Write a story that could involve yourself or make up your own. For preparation, watch Stephen Chow's movies as a good source.
5. A sig-fig representing your future, e.g. where would you be and what's your job going to be like etc.

Voy por mi camino sin preocupación,
pasa la gente y me miran mal,
pero no me importa, a mí me da lo mismo,
hoy estoy alegre y tengo ganas de saltar.
My original intent for this day was to chase 23M west with the NS 1069 (Virginian HU) on the point. However, by the time I had gotten to Harrisburg, 23M was already half an hour ahead of me. Upset and just looking to kill an hour or so, I decided to head a little further west to Port Royal.
In the back of my mind I knew that the 62V had 8102 leading, but wasn't expecting it to show. Last week I had gotten burned waiting for 62V to come east because it had gotten held up in Altoona due to track work around Antis. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I heard clear as day on the scanner, "62V Clear Mifflin". I couldn't believe it. And now I can proudly say that I can check this shot off my photography bucket list!

On my dream list was to print one of my pictures for our home, I had found an old meaningful purple flower print but it's on my old computer so I can't find it, I got up early last Sunday around 4 a.m. I couldn't sleep so I wrote in my journal about how nice it was to be recognized on my birthday and the good things that had happened on that day, as I was writing I noticed the sun began to come up, I went outside in my p.j.s laid on the sidewalk and took some purple flower shots, I was thinking maybe this one would work to print? I'm still so unsure about my work, my eye and what deserves to hang on my wall?
Hiya Everyone! It has been a while since I have done one of these. And a while since I have posted here!
I am finding myself buying a lot of stuff I don't really like these days. I end up giving the stuff away, discarding it, or stashing it away in the garage to sell someday.
Most of these items I have always deemed "too expensive" but in reality I could afford them if I stopped spending and actually saved for a little while. The trouble is that shopping is a coping mechanism for me and I struggle when I can't spend. But I am going to try!
I don't think there is any way I will be getting all of these this year but I would really like to try and get at least a few.
I have ordered them according to how much I want them:
1. Fashion Photo Elaine! This gal has appeared on many of my wish lists. The thing is, I want one that is mint. Not necessarily boxed but with her hair intact and no paint rubs. I am not too keen on the repro personally.
2: Tom Stone. Again, vintage not repro. With Action Man I am not too fussed about condition but I would prefer if he had all his flocking.
3: Disco Wanda!
4: 12" Mego Spider Man NRFB.
5: 12" Mego Superman NRFB.
6: Party Time Lindsey. This doll I may not get as she is a fairly basic doll. I have only seen one listing for 3 of these doll and the seller wants hundreds per doll. They haven't sold any in the many years the listing has been up. I just wish they would lower the price and ship overseas 😩
7: Ultra Corps Sniper Scout. I had this guy as a kid and I loved him! He isn't as expensive or HTF as he is "expensive for what he is."
8: Beauty or more so her puppies. I have a white version of this "puppy" but I would love the grey and brown too.
And that's all 😂 How about you? Are you after anything special at the moment? I hope everyone finds what they are searching for this year.
