Theatre Royal Glasgow - the elegant double height main foyer. The next round of improvements due to start next year will see the adjoining Café Royal demolished and replaced by a new entrance and larger circulation space (on two levels) with additional toilets and bar space. This is the 3rd theatre on this site, the first 1867-80, was designed by George Bell and was destroyed in a fire. The second 1880-95 was by C J Phipps, and suffered the same fate. The current theatre, also by Phipps, closed in 1957 and became a TV Studio. Scottish Opera bought the building when Scottish Television moved out in 1974, and after restoration it reopened in 1975. Further improvements were carried out in 1997, and a major extension was built 2012-14. Category A listed.

The Grade II Listed 9-11 Watergate Street in Chester, Cheshire.
Constructed in the late 12th Century as a four-story town house with an undercroft. Was largely rebuilt in 1862 by James Harrison, adding concrete steps and a rail to Row on arch-braced posts in Jacobean style with iron dogbars. The facade was loosely based on that of 1652, but showier and taller.
The Row fascia is inscribed 'God's Providence is mine Inheritance', said to be in thanks for deliverance from the plague of 1647-8.

These also arrived at the same time yesterday but they need to wait for a while to be restored. There is a long waiting list ahead of them. They may not be repaired at all in the name of preservation. Ha Ha!!! Lazy bum and it is me : )
In its 1950s heyday, the Lister Car Company successfully built and campaigned powerful Jaguar-powered racing cars. It was therefor logical, when the marque was revived in the 1980s, that it would remain loyal to Jaguar power for its road and race cars. Through extensive experience gained by tuning and radically modifying XJ-S V12s, Lister used the faithful Jaguar base for its own ambitious race weapon.
The resulting Storm was a 2+2 front-engined coupe, catapulted to 208 mph by a 546 hp 7-litre V12, designed for the GT1 class of Le Mans 24 hour race. Despite its British bulldog spirit, the Lister expired after 40 laps of the 1995 endurance race. The extortionately expensive road going version didn't fare much better either, with only four examples of the £ 450.000 (in 1993 !) Storm being built.

Plot[edit]
In 1939, the Germans move Polish Jews into the Kraków Ghetto as World War
II begins. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping
to make his fortune. A member of the Nazi Party, Schindler lavishes
bribes on Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials and acquires a
factory to produce enamelware. To help him run the business, Schindler
enlists the aid of Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official who has contacts
with black marketeers and the Jewish business community. Stern helps
Schindler arrange loans to finance the factory. Schindler maintains
friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys wealth and status as "Herr
Direktor", and Stern handles administration. Schindler hires Jewish
workers because they cost less, while Stern ensures that as many people
as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort, which saves
them from being transported to concentration camps or killed.
SS-Untersturmführer (second lieutenant) Amon Goeth arrives in Kraków to
oversee construction of Płaszów concentration camp. When the camp is
completed, he orders the ghetto liquidated. Many people are shot and
killed in the process of emptying the ghetto. Schindler witnesses the
massacre and is profoundly affected. He particularly notices a tiny girl
in a red coat – one of the few splashes of color in the black-and-white
film – as she hides from the Nazis. When he later sees the red coat on a
wagon loaded with bodies being taken away to be burned, he knows the girl
is dead. Schindler is careful to maintain his friendship with Goeth and,
through bribery and lavish gifts, continues to enjoy SS support. Goeth
brutally mistreats his maid and randomly shoots people from the balcony
of his villa, and the prisoners are in constant daily fear for their
lives. As time passes, Schindler's focus shifts from making money to
trying to save as many lives as possible. He bribes Goeth into allowing
him to build a sub-camp for his workers so that he can better protect
them.
As the Germans begin to lose the war, Goeth is ordered to ship the
remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks
Goeth to allow him to move his workers to a new munitions factory he
plans to build in his home town of Zwittau-Brinnlitz. Goeth agrees, but
charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern create "Schindler's List" – a
list of people to be transferred to Brinnlitz and thus saved from
transport to Auschwitz.
As Schindler's workers begin to arrive at the new site, the train
carrying the women is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. Schindler
bribes the commandant of Auschwitz with a bag of diamonds to win their
release. At the new factory, Schindler forbids the SS guards to enter the
production areas and encourages the Jews to observe the Sabbath. To keep
his workers alive, he spends much of his fortune bribing Nazi officials
and buying shell casings from other companies; his factory does not
produce any usable armaments during its seven months of operation.
Schindler runs out of money just as Germany surrenders, ending the war in
Europe.
As a Nazi Party member and war profiteer, Schindler must flee the
advancing Red Army to avoid capture. The SS guards have been ordered to
kill the Jews, but Schindler persuades them to return to their families
as men, not murderers. He bids farewell to his workers and prepares to
head west, hoping to surrender to the Americans. The workers give
Schindler a signed statement attesting to his role saving Jewish lives,
together with a ring engraved with a Talmudic quotation: "Whoever saves
one life saves the world entire." Schindler is touched but is also deeply
ashamed, as he feels he should have done even more. As the Schindlerjuden
(Schindler Jews) awaken the next morning, a Soviet soldier announces that
they have been liberated. The Jews leave the factory and walk to a nearby
town.
After some scenes depicting Goeth's execution and a summary of
Schindler's later life, the black-and-white frame changes to a color shot
of actual Schindlerjuden at Schindler's grave in Jerusalem. Accompanied
by the actors who portrayed them, the Schindlerjuden place stones on the
grave. In the final scene, Neeson places a pair of roses on the grave.

The Skulls featuring Marc Moreland, Steve Fortuna, Chas Grey and Mick.. This was from their first reunion show way back in 1992 at Craig's club: New Klub On the Block in Costa Mesa.. It was right next door to Zubies which was a cowboy bar next to the Cuckoos Nest. Anyway, this was Marc Morelands set list his hand was bleeding from playing his guitar to fast. This line up of the band had KK (ex-Screamers) on drums, Steve Fortuna (aka: Billy Bones), Marc Moreland, and Bruce (Barf!) Moreland on bass!

Ecology of Freedom is one of the defining books by Bookchin on what he calls 'Social Ecology'. Basically an anarchist analysis of capitalism's relation to ecology, and how we can move toward a better future. i've read chapter 1 so far, and it seems quite insightful.
St Mary (RC), Mulberry Street, Manchester, 1848.
By Weightman & Hadfield.
Grade ll listed.
John Grey Weightman (1801-1872).
Matthew Ellison Hadfield (1812-1885).
The Hidden Gem, officially St Mary's Catholic Church, on Mulberry Street, Manchester, England, was originally opened in 1794, with devotion to St Mary, Our Lady of the Assumption, then rebuilt in 1848.
Detail: Windows on the west side in the gallery.
Dedication of the Hidden Gem
The rector of St Chad's, Father Rowland Broomhead, purchased a plot of land near Deansgate in 1794. He quickly set about the task of building a new church. On 30 November 1794, the church was dedicated to St Mary. It was chosen as a symbol of the original parish church in Manchester.
Collapse of the roof
In 1833, the rector of the Hidden Gem, Father Henry Gillow, decided that the building was looking tired. He enlisted the help of some of the congregation to have the church re-roofed and re-decorated. It was to be tremendous folly not to have had the work overseen by a master builder.
At lunchtime on 8 August 1835, a strange breaking sound could be heard. On looking up people were alarmed to see a crack forming in the dome above the altar. The church was locked up and at 11 pm the whole dome and part of the roof collapsed, damaging much of the interior of the church. Services were moved to Lloyd Street, and the search started for a new site for the church.
Hidden Gem rebuilt
Father Gillow died in the Manchester typhus epidemic of 1837. Any plans for a new site were put on hold, and the decision was taken to rebuild St Mary's on the existing site. Two architects were consulted, Richard Lane, the architect of Salford Town Hall and the Friends Meeting House, and Augustus Pugin. Richard Lane's design was chosen at a cost of £265 17s 0d. (Pugin had been paid £138 3s 6d). The architect chosen to oversee the work was Matthew Ellison Hadfield, who later went on to build Salford Cathedral and the new St Chad's Church in Cheetham Hill. St Mary's Church was entirely demolished and the new St Mary's was formally opened in October 1848. The church's design is a blend of Norman, Gothic and Byzantine detail; Pugin himself said that the building 'shows to what depth of error even good men fall, when they go whoring after strange styles.'
Exterior and interior
Externally, the Hidden Gem is built of plain red brick, with an ornate bell tower, stone-dressed church windows, and an entrance marked out with a fine stone doorway, which is finely carved and depicts two Angelic Hosts bearing a medallion of Agnus Dei. A hand above forms the sign of the Ascension of Christ. The inscription is "Ascendamus in montem Domini. Et adoremus in loco Sancto eius" a construction of two bible verses: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord",(Isaiah 2:3) and "Praise Him in His Holy places". (Psalms 150:1)
Internally, the visitor will find majestic Victorian carving. The High Altar is made of marble, finely carved and life size images of Our Lady, St Stephen, St Patrick, St Peter, St John, St Hilda, St Augustine and St Joseph. Central to this above the tabernacle is Christ bearing the Sacred Heart. The Stations of the Cross were painted in 1994 by artist Norman Adams and are in a striking expressionist style.
