One of New Jersey’s most picturesque and photographed locations is located in western New Jersey alongside the Raritan River in the town of Clinton is a grist mill referred to as the ‘Red Mill’. When Ralph Hunt built this mill in 1810 on land he received in inheritance from his father Daniel Hunt its original purpose was that of a wool processing plant. Unfortunately, foreign cloth was relatively low cost so eventually even though some of the surrounding farmers would get their wool manufactured, Hunt’s business dried up and the mill came to a grinding halt. It was around 1828 to 1834 that John Bray and John B. Taylor (the Taylor family had taken ownership of the property began production wool in the mill again. The new owner John W. Snyder stopped the wool processing altogether and converted the mill in to a grist mill. Before all production stopped, it was a graphite mill and finally a talc mill when all activity stopped. Today it is a museum and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Captured this image while with my west coast damsel, returning from a wonderous weekend in Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania. I particularly like the distorted reflection of the mill in water just before it cascades on the dam. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitclintonnj @newjerseyisntboring @newjerseyisbeautiful #newjerseyisntboring #newjerseyisbeautiful @visit_nj #omd #olympus #microfourthirds #micro43 #micro43photography
The heritage of Ibi, a manufacturing town in the mountainous interior of Alicante province, eastern Spain.
The reality according the online -information:
a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.There are seven colours in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The eleventh generation of the Ford Thunderbird (internally codenamed M205 is a two-seat convertible manufactured and marketed by Ford from 2001 to 2005 for model years 2002 through 2005. It followed a five-year hiatus of the Thunderbird after the 1997 discontinuation of its tenth generation. The eleventh generation reach a production of just under 70,000 over four model years.
This red 2003 registered 3.9-litre Ford Thunderbird, LE03 VUU, is seen at Prescott hill climb on 15.05.2022.
.An example is the brick, six-story Atrium building on the northwest corner of St. Paul and Andrews streets. It was built in 1884 for Tichner and Jacobi tailors for $60,000. When the three top floors burst into flames 10 years later, attracting a throng of onlookers, three clothing manufacturers were located there.
On the Baker College campus in Allen Park Michigan is this sculpture which I believe pays homage to engineering and manufacturing. With the exception of the legs (which are made from tree limbs) this fine looking animal is constructed out of everything form hubcaps, tractor seats, snow shovels to fifty five gallon drums. It stands about ten feet tall.
Here is something I do the electrical design for at work. I'd just finished testing. The HDR processing fits a factory and steel very well.

Cream City originally opened in the late 1890s as Consumer City in the same proximity as it is now. Consumer City made milk and other dairy products which were shipped to the north by covered wagon. The Whitaker family owned the dairy manufacturing business, and through its evolution the name changed to Cream City. In 1948, the building that housed Cream City at that time burned down. A new building was constructed and completed in 1950 and is the same building which stands today. At the time of the new construction, a 3-ton neon sign was erected on top of the building proving to be a tourist attraction along Highway 70. The neon sign has been featured in several magazines and was named one of the top 100 neon signs in the country by American Road Magazine. However, in 1986, a prominent ice cream company purchased Cream City Ice Cream to shut it down as its production became a major competitor. After this, the existing building housed many other businesses including a café, an accounting office, a T-shirt shop, and even living quarters. However, the 3-ton sign and its neon magnetism attracted passer-bys to mainly ice cream. The structure became what it was meant to be again in 2011 when Cream City Ice Cream and Coffee House opened the doors to the public once again as an ice cream shop. The downtown area has officially been titled the "Cream City Historic District" as displayed by the city of Cookeville on designated signage. And, the old 1930s Cream City Ice Cream "Take some home today" sign that was originally displayed on the outside of the building still proudly hangs inside the store today.

J'aurais bien aimé l'appeler "le complot des plots" mais je l'ai trouvé peut-être trop sibyllin !
Bref. Après un petit post-traitement en N&B partiel, voici que notre plot et notre chantier, rue aux Sieurs, semblent tout de suite... Presque photogéniques !
Swine flu from Mexico, news of manufacturing plant scandals that made it back to the U.S., SARS 1 pandemic from China, SARS 2 from China, tariffs, a trade war turning into a cold war, the worldwide Covid pandemic from Wuhan of 2020-2021 that crippled the economy, which nearly shut the company permanently down.
Things are shifting. There are persuasive arguments being discussed among CEOs about hidden long-term costs of manufacturing overseas that do not show up in quarterly and annual financial statements but that bite back hard. Has the equilibrium point and risk shifted so that their company's best financial interest is to bring manufacturing back? That means higher prices. Will those discussions become reality?

This is another Snoopy plush from Kiddyland in Japan. I've always liked the oddity of a fat Snoopy in a yellow and blue romper with:
"Snoopy The World Famous Super Beagle"
on his chest.
The color scheme and his adorable chubbiness here makes him a Snoopy Pierrot in my mind.
As the series name suggests, he is a beanie, but not so much. If you squeeze him, you can feel the beans but it's also a lot of filler.
Lots of unusual design choices converge to make this a unique and loved Snoopy in our plush collection!
The tag identifies it as a Determined Productions product.
Determined Productions was a pioneering San Francisco-based company that played a major role in the early licensing and merchandising of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip characters, helping turn them into a massive cultural and commercial phenomenon.
The company's origins trace back to Connie Boucher, a San Francisco window designer and entrepreneur. In the early 1960s, she approached Schulz with the idea of creating Peanuts-themed datebook calendars. Schulz approved, and this collaboration led to the publication of the landmark book Happiness Is a Warm Puppy in 1962 (released by Determined Productions).
The book became a huge success, spending 45 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list (peaking at #2) and selling widely. It essentially launched the category of Peanuts gift books and inspired a wave of character-branded merchandise.
Boucher founded Determined Productions, Inc. shortly after (around 1962–1963) to capitalize on this momentum and develop a broader range of licensed Peanuts products. The company became one of the earliest and most prolific licensees, working closely with Schulz—often described as the first major licensee to collaborate directly with him on product development.
Key highlights of their contributions include:
Iconic graphic sweatshirts starting in 1965, featuring characters with slogans in bold, poppy fonts (e.g., on colorful raglan-sleeved designs like Grassy Green, Peacock Blue, Shocking Pink). These vintage pieces remain highly sought-after by collectors today.
Plush dolls and stuffed toys, including Snoopy plush (they also introduced Belle, Snoopy's sister, in response to fan requests).
Books, day planners/calendars, pocket dolls, pennants, figurines, coin banks (e.g., a 1976 Snoopy coin bank created with Schulz), clothing, toys, kitchenware, and more.
Fashion-oriented lines, such as "Snoopy in Fashion" plush dolls dressed by famous designers in the 1980s.
International expansion, notably licensing agreements for Japan (e.g., a 1970 deal with Familiar Co., Ltd. to produce and distribute Peanuts products there, helping build the brand's strong presence in Asia).
Determined Productions also licensed other characters/properties (e.g., Joan Walsh Anglund, Winnie the Pooh, Wizard of Oz), but Peanuts was central to their identity and success.
Boucher was a trailblazer in the licensing industry—inducted as the first member into its Hall of Fame (Schulz was also later inducted). She passed away in 1995.
The company was active through at least the 1980s (and possibly into the 1990s), producing many classic vintage Peanuts items now prized by collectors.
While modern Peanuts licensing has shifted to other entities (e.g., under Peanuts Worldwide), Determined Productions' early work was instrumental in making the characters "usable and lovable" beyond the comic pages, from everyday apparel to beloved toys. Their catalogs (like the rare 1968 one) showcase the breadth of their output.

In our toy collecting, plush is not a strong point and that remains true for our Peanuts collection. The 2001 'Many Lives of Snoopy' series from McDonald's Japan is a plush series that we featured from 2020-2021. Because each plush figure was themed, it was easy to create specific scenes.

Also, in Japan we did pick up a nice series of small plush, about 16mm. These plush seem to have the same origin though there are different tags. The Law Label (The label that is sewn to plush toys containing copyright and materials information.) always has 'Peanuts' and a copyright for United Feature Syndicate. The cardboard tag labels vary with many carrying the 'RM' label. All of the plush were manufactured in Hong Kong. So, we think a Japanese company (Perhaps Nakajima Corporation) manufactured these and released them to various distributors.
Most of these plush have no distinguishing themes or names but rather standard figures released in a variety of colors. We've photographed a couple from this series here:

And here:

So, rather than creating scenes with stories, we decided to feature these lovely plush among the Peanuts collection and provide some fun information.

The Nehalem River is a river on the Pacific coast of northwest Oregon in the United States, approximately 119 miles long. It drains part of the Northern Oregon Coast Range northwest of Portland, originating on the east side of the mountains and flowing in a loop around the north end of the range near the mouth of the Columbia River.
Its watershed of 855 square miles includes an important timber-producing region of Oregon that was the site of the Tillamook Burn. In its upper reaches it flows through a long narrow valley of small mountain communities but is unpopulated along most of its lower reaches inland from the coast. The city where the river flows into the Pacific is also used as the name for CPU manufacturing titan Intel's first-generation line of Core processors.
It rises in the northeast corner of Tillamook County, in the Tillamook State Forest. It initially flows northeast, across the northwest corner of Washington County and into western Columbia County, past Vernonia where it receives Rock Creek, it hooks to the northwest and west into Clatsop County, then flows southwest back into northern Tillamook County.
It enters Nehalem Bay on the Pacific in an estuary at Nehalem, about 70 miles west-northwest of Portland. Near its mouth on the Pacific, the river passes under U.S. Route 101.
It receives the Salmonberry River from the east in northern Tillamook County. It also receives the North Fork Nehalem River 25 miles from the north about 2 miles northwest of Nehalem, just before entering Nehalem Bay.
