Pirate sword?
The books I'm currently reading. I'm really only reading the Milan Kundera book, but I have these others on deck in case I need a diversion from the heavy philosiphy and odd perspective of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". Don't get me wrong, it's a good read, but I think a lot was lost in translation from Czech.
In case you can't read it, the top one is "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. (It's hilarious.)
Victoria Baths is a Grade II* listed building, situated in the Chorlton-upon-Medlock area of Manchester, in Northwest England. The Baths opened to the public in 1906 and cost £59,144 to build. Manchester City Council closed the baths in 1993 and the building was left derelict. A multi-million pound restoration project began in 2007.
The baths were designed by the City Surveyor, T. de Courcy Meade, and his assistant, Arthur Davies. The work was supervised by Henry Price, the newly appointed city architect. The baths were opened in September 1906 by the Lord Mayor of Manchester who described the building as a "water palace". For 86 years the Baths provided essential leisure facilities. Private baths and a laundry were housed there along with three swimming pools and a Turkish bath. The main swimming pool was floored over in the winter months to hold dances. In 1952 the Victoria Baths installed the first public Aeratone (jacuzzi) in the country.
In the design and construction of the Baths, a great deal of money was expended, Manchester having at that time one of the world's wealthiest municipal coffers. The façade has multi-coloured brickwork and terracotta decoration, the main interior public spaces are clad in glazed tiles from floor to ceiling and most of the many windows have decorative stained glass.
The Baths were closed by Manchester City Council in 1993. The Friends of Victoria Baths was formed and began to investigate the possibility of running the Victoria Baths independently.
Various fund-raising attempts failed to bring about a restoration of the Baths, although work to prevent further deterioration of the building started in 1998
n September 2003, the Baths won the first series of the BBC's Restoration programme. The building was chosen by a public phone-vote from a short-list of ten buildings in danger of dereliction in the UK. It was awarded £3.4 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the money raised through the phone-voting process. The Prince of Wales visited the baths a month later to help celebrate the win.
It was intended that the money would be spent on re-opening the Turkish bath by around 2006, with other parts following later at a cost of around £15–20m. However, the redevelopment plans were dealt a blow one year later when quantity surveyors delivered a much larger estimate of £6.3m to restore the Turkish baths. The Heritage Lottery Fund requested further details about the full redevelopment before they would hand over any money for the first phase. Final planning approval to begin a restoration process was not received until September 2005.
In September 2006, as part of a number of events to mark the centenary of the building's opening, the gala pool was filled for the first time in 13 years.
The first phase of restoration work consisting of structural work and repairs began on Monday 19 March 2007, and was completed in September 2008. In 2011 the Baths were used as a filming location, a concert venue, and an exhibition centre.

The Grade II* Listed Church of St Michael, Hackthorn, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
Situated among the trees of Hackthorn park, overlooking the lake, is the parish church, dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. A village church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although original church was rebuilt in 1849 by a Mr. Mainwaring as a Victorian gothic building. It contains carved woodwork in the reredos screen and gallery, and an 1869 Nicholson Organ, fully restored in 2006.
The Grade I Listed St Nicholas' Church, Kenilworth, Warwickshire.
The church is example of an English parish church in Perpendicular style with Tudor alterations, in the handsome red sandstone of the region. It sits right beside the Norman and medieval ruins of St Mary's Abbey, over which a large part of its graveyard now lies.
The earliest reference to a parish church on the site, though, as distinct from the church of St Mary's priory, is from Pope Nicholas' taxation records of 1291. The substantial tower and the north and south aisles were added in the 14th century. The original nave roof, lowered in 1580, was at a higher pitch than that which can be seen today; the line of the earlier roof can still be seen as a scar on the eastern face of the tower. The chancel roof was taken down and relaid in 1692 under the auspices of the then vicar, William Best, at a cost of £80. Raised galleries were erected in both of the nave aisles in the middle of the 18th century to accommodate the large congregations of the time.
As with so many English parish churches, the reign of Queen Victoria saw many changes: in 1865, under Reverend Bickmore, St Nicholas' was thoroughly restored. The nave galleries were taken down in 1876, the same year that the roof timbers were exposed by the removal of the church's flat ceilings. It was also in the 19th century that the north and south transepts were built, the clergy vestry was added, and the south wall of the chancel was pierced to create a chancel aisle (refurnished in 1932 as the Lady Chapel). The sandstone spire was entirely rebuilt after a lightning strike in 1858.
No books for Christmas, please! :P
Not entirely happy with the colours, but the light was very yellow despite Custom WB, so I'm letting myself off.

FORT IRWIN, Calif. -- Day four listings of candidates testing for the Expert Field Medical Badge this week at the National Training Center (NTC) on Fort Irwin. The men and women of the U.S. Army listed above are testing their skills and endurance this week to win for themselves the Expert Filed Medical Badge. Their testing began 12 Dec. and continues through 18 Dec. 2015. The pass rate is traditionally between 15 and 20 percent.
The Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) is awarded to military personnel who complete a variety of physical, mental and written tests that determine their ability to quickly, accurately and effectively perform complex life-saving medical tasks while in a variety of hostile environments and situations. The EFMB is considered the medical equivalent of the Expert Infantryman's Badge, but is said to be harder to earn than the EIB.
The Weed Army Community Hospital is hosts and facilitates as well as oversees the qualification of events for Soldiers seeking to earn the badge at training areas within the NTC. Qualification for the badge is considered a grueling experience by those who have earned it and the majority of participants do not make it to the final round.
The Soldiers vying for the coveted badge listed here come from posts near and far across the United States.

A list of local agroforestry tree species and their uses developed by villagers and foresters in Baucau, East Timor (Timor Leste). After the list was developed, villagers used colored markers to vote on which trees they would like to plant. The most popular tree was ai kami or candlenut, Aleurites moluccana. Nuts of ai cami could be sold locally and processed for food or for oil. Ai kameli is sandalwood (Santalum album) and ai bubur is Eucalyptus alba, the local firewood. Note that the typical forestry trees teak and mahogany did not receive any votes. The language is Tetun.

Durham Cathedral was built in the late 11th and early 12th centuries to house the relics of St Cuthbert (evangelizer of Northumbria) and the Venerable Bede. It attests to the importance of the early Benedictine monastic community and is the largest and finest example of Norman architecture in England. The innovative audacity of its vaulting foreshadowed Gothic architecture.
Durham Cathedral and Castle are UNESCO World Heritage Listed
This is a Kodak Brownie 127 photograph that my brother took of one of the cars that competed in the sports car race at the British Grand Prix meeting at Silverstone in July 1956. It's the 1956 Lister Maserati being driven here in the paddock on practice day by Archie Scott-Brown. Archie Scott-Brown, although severely physically handicapped, had achieved much success in the 1954 season with a Lister MG which continued in the 1955 season when a Bristol engine was fitted in place of the MG unit. For the 1956 season a new car was designed using one of the 2 litre Maserati engines that had been designed for the A6GCS. This engine proved to be unreliable leading to a mixture of good and bad results, and at Silverstone the car failed to finish the race.
For the 1957 season Brian Lister designed a car round the Jaguar engine that had powered the Le Mans winning D-Types and in that season Archie Scott-Brown won 12 of the 14 races he entered. In 1958 he looked set to repeat this success, but was unfortunately killed when driving the Lister Jaguar in an accident in a sports car race at Spa-Francorchamps in May of that year.

House, 1855-65 with an earlier core, for Robert Smith, a retired Indian engineer; contractor, Tozer of Paignton (Tully). Converted to hotel in 1903, contractor Dart and Pollard of Paignton (plaque in entrance hall). Various C20 alterations and additions. Smith's building in Gothick style with Indian influence. MATERIALS: Roughcast with stuccoed detail; roof and stacks of original build concealed by parapets. PLAN: On the sea front. Approximate T-shaped plan. No obvious trace of the pre-1853 house, converted by Smith. Smith's building, although somewhat obcsured by later accretions, consisted of a rotunda facing E out to sea with, according to Pevsner, 3 added wings, for picture gallery, conservatory and billiard room, and servants' quarters. Originally there was a tunnel, destroyed in a storm in 1867, leading to a plunge bath on the beach below. Only the N wing is still identifiable (on the W side) as Smith's building. The W wing was thoroughly recast in c1902 and has been extended W. The S wing has also been altered. The 1986 addition is not included in the listing. EXTERIOR: 3-storey rotunda; 2-storey wings; W wing 3 storeys. East elevation, facing the sea consists of the rotunda with a 4-bay front, flanked by a 5:2 window wing to the left (S) and a 2:6-window front to the right (N). The rotunda has a corbelled parapet with ogival merlons and an inner parapet behind with flattened spear-shaped merlons and seimi-circular embrasures. Rotunda crowned by an octagon with a copper tent roof with ball finial and weathervane. Platband at first-floor level. The east front has a 2-tier canted bay in the centre and to the left; single-storey canted bays to left and right of centre. Ground floor has round-headed windows (C20 glazing with timber bars) in ogival frames with curly ogee hoodmoulds with a star at the apex. Canted bays have plain parapets. Recessed crosses in the front wall contain painted reliefs of thistles and apples in roundels. First-floor windows similar with spear motifs at the apex of the hoodmoulds. Central canted bay has a cast-iron balcony on brackets with diagonal braces and central decorated roundels. Parapet may originally have been decorated with pineapples (these survive on the left-hand bay window). Wall between windows decorated with Maltese crosses. 2nd-floor windows smaller but simialr: wall surface decorated with shields. Parapet on moulded corbels, the merlons decorated with incised crosses. To left of rotunda, a flight of curving steps up to a first-floor entrance. The left-hand wing, with a plain parapet, is in a stripped down version of the style. The right-hand wing appears to be completely C20 on the seaward front, but to the rear (W) there is a 5-bay elevation that is obviously Smith's with a parapet with ogival merlons and 2 octagonal turrets at the N end with spear-shaped battlementing. Ground-floor windows with ogival hoodmoulds and first-floor windows with shallow roughcast architraves with imitation keyblocks. The 3-storey and attic W wing has a mansard roof; coved eaves: ogee-headed attic dormer and windows with fancy stuccoed architraves of a flame-like design. The N side has seven 2nd-floor oriels on curly ogival arches with pendants. Unsuitable late C20 hotel porch across angle between rotunda and W wing. INTERIOR: Partially inspected. The ground-floor room in the rotunda retains its original plaster cornices and ceiling roses, quite delicate but of conventional design. First-floor room above said to retain similar detail. Original fireplaces may be concealed behind later plaster. c1903 stair with carved figures rising above the hand rail. Other features of interest may survive elsewhere. HISTORY: Smith died in 1873. In 1877 the house was bought by Paris Singer (Oldway Mansion qv). In 1902 it was sold and altered as a hotel. The West Country Studies Library, Exeter, holds a printed souvenir of the hotel, c1910, which records that decoration was by Coverdale and Co. of No.15, Palace Avenue, Paignton . Photographs show symmetrical low wings flanking the main block. Although very altered on the margins, the central core of the building is particularly interesting for its unusual design and details and the building makes an important contribution to the sea front at this end of Paignton.
