It's not hard to see how this vintage kitchen came together on the ground floor of a warehouse that holds vast quantities of vintage clothing, kitsch, magazines and the occasional antique find. If you're the owner, you have oodles of space and an insider's access to the market for old stuff. The fridge led to the stove which led to the pink cabinets which led to the dinette, and so on.
Memory Den Vintage Mall, Portland.
Pictured are troops wearing the new Virtus body armour and load carrying system in a mock foot patrol scenario .
The new Virtus system uses the latest materials and offers the same protection as Osprey body armour but is significantly lighter, moves with the body more easily and produces a slimmer profile. The amount of protection employed can be scaled up or down to match the type of threat by adding or removing soft armour pads and hard ballistic plates. It is compatible with both Osprey and Enhanced Combat Body Armour.
A new, lighter helmet will provide increased blunt impact protection, face and mandible guards for certain roles and a shape that is designed to work with the armour and daysack so weapons can be comfortably used even in a prone position.
One of the most radical innovations is an integral 'spine' - the 'dynamic weight distribution' system. The device is linked to the user’s waist belt and helps spread the load of the body armour, a Bergen or daysack across the back, shoulders and hips.
The system also employs a new quick-release mechanism – a pin positioned on the chest that when pulled releases the entire body kit.
Virtus Scalable Tactical Vest (STV)
The Scalable Tactical Vest (STV) can be used for load carriage without any armour; as a fragmentation vest with soft armour padding consisting of a composite granular material but no hard plates; as a plate carrier with no soft armour; or as a full body armour system with soft and hard armour. It is compatible with both Osprey and Enhanced Combat Body Armour.
Any combination of front, rear or side plates can be employed.
The STV comes in seven different sizes for a tailored fit. Chest size and torso length instead of height are now used for measuring. Modified lower profile soft armour further reduces the bulk when compared with Osprey, allowing for more agility.
The quick-release pin allows the STV to be removed in a couple of seconds with one pull. This applies when it is used in any of its configurations.
A lightweight webbing system is designed to be worn under and integrated with the body armour.
Both the daysack and Bergen are fully integrated with the rest of the torso sub-system. This ensures that they are carried close to the body preventing excessive movement of the load but without pushing the rear ballistic plate into the body. Both can be used in conjunction with the dynamic weight distribution system.
Pouches are made from one piece of fabric and fold flat when empty, minimising profile and the possibility of snagging.
The dynamic weight distribution system contains a hard spine that takes the load and is linked to a hip belt. This allows the soldier to transfer the weight of his load from the shoulders to the hips or the other way via an adjuster positioned in the small of the back.
Troops and equipment need to be sized correctly for the DWD to be effective. It is estimated that personnel will need a day’s worth of training and familiarisation with the kit.
The Virtus helmet has a fixed shroud for the mounting of night vision goggles and a counterweight for neck comfort.
Its fit can be easily adjusted in the same way as modern cycling and climbing helmets.
The sculpted rear prevents interference with body armour or daysack when adopting a prone fire position.
It provides more protection to the side of the head and is 350g lighter than the Mk7 it succeeds.
The helmet can be fitted with both mandible guard and visor, or either, which provide face protection for crews in open vehicles such as Jackal or WMIK.

50 & 75L WEEKEND OFFER!!!
-HI! TUESDAY - WEEKEND SALE
from May 20 'til May 23rd
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus Christ, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, for those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
The high-end double decker coach will offer tours in Scotland’s capital, providing breath-taking views while guests enjoy quality afternoon tea and live commentary from a tour guide.
Managing director Scott Souter said there was a clear gap in the market for a tour offering “next level” comfort and luxury.
He said: “The SuperBus sightseeing coach is the biggest in the UK, allowing us to optimise the space on-board and create an experience that is truly unrivalled.”
“Modern mechanical spec ensures the smoothest possible drive for our customers while they relax in comfort and style, indulge in freshly-made afternoon tea and listen to commentary on a state-of-the-art sound system.”
The coach is a former sleeper bus which has undergone a first-class refurbishment, with 72cm-wide leather seating, ample leg room, generous spacing between seats and power sockets available, as well as having toilet facilities on board.
The tours, which will last between 1-1.5hours, begin at Waterloo Place and take in a range of highlights across Edinburgh including Scot’s Monument, the Meadows, Greyfriars Bobby Statue, Edinburgh Castle, the Grassmarket, the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace.
On-board catering is provided by Perthshire-based Willows, a family business with 30 years’ experience.
Its team of chefs prepare the food daily, using local suppliers and an array of Scottish ingredients to create home-made savouries and sweet treats along with locally-roasted coffee.
Tours run three times a day (Monday to Saturday) at 11.30am, 2pm and 4.30pm. Adult tickets cost £34 for upper deck and £29 for lower deck, and children’s tickets cost £10. The coach is also available for private hire.
The tulip bowl offers a warm shelter so the insect's flight muscles do not cool off.
Color can do several things. It can offer high contrast markers to guide pollinators to the nectaries or it can differentiate the flower from the background foliage to signal mature flowers with nectar or pollen. Tulips have a delicate, sweet scent attractive to bees and syrphid flies. yet it is easy to land in the open bowl shape.
Thanks so much for your visits and encouraging comments and faves... Greatly appreciated by me! ; )
Lisboa, or Lisbon offered many wonderful sites to see. Here are a few shots from around town. The Belem Tower was a great quick visit. It is amazing to me how much the remnants and signs of the Knights Templar are present around Portugal - the tower is no different. Captured about an hour prior to sundown, this side of the structure is greatly illuminated. The half moon makes an appearance in the sea of blue sky.
This week I offer two previous releases for special prices at Lazy Sunday.

Pakistan offered some very fine 76cm gauge steam. One of the lines was Kohat - Thal. In 1983 we took the train for the full journey. There was no first class, only a sleeper car! The guard persisted we should pay the sleeper fare, but after I proved I could not stretch my body on the short (76 cm gauge!) benches, he laughed and let us be.
Offered in Catawiki's Ceramic Auction (20th Century): Giuseppe Coffano - sculpture in polychrome terracotta of Caltagirone -.
Thank you for your interest in my photography and for your generous offer to use my work for free to promote your book/magazine/website that you use to generate business for yourself. I would love nothing more than to help feed your family while mine goes hungry, because that is just the type of guy I am. Maybe I could feed them the free copy of the book you are offering me. I bet it would be tasty with some salt and pepper. I am also excited for the overwelming exposure that I will be receiving and the vast number of customers that will be directed my way because of that teeny tiny photo credit you tried to bury in the spine of your magazine. I just don't know what to say. You have done so much for me.
Now let me tell you the truth.
Good Photography is both hard work and expensive due to the price of equipment, the cost of gas, travel, insurance and self promotion. The shot that you have requested that I give you for nothing was taken inside of a 5 second exposure. The results of that 5 second exposure came from 12 road trips taken to the same location, 26 full tanks of gas, a $5,000 camera and priceless dedication to creating a good image and THAT is just the tip of the iceberg. There is no way I could ever calculate with any kind of certainty the amount of time and energy spent getting that one shot.
But I can tell you it wasn't freaking FREE!
Now with that being said, I would love to send you a HI RES version of the shot you requested. All you need to do is make my car payment this month but don't worry, I would be happy to give you "bill credit" with your payment and would gladly send you a free copy of the cashed check!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
PLEASE do not give your work away for nothing. Luckily for me I read somewhere very early on that if I priced my work at next to nothing, it would always be worth next to nothing.
I have received 7 emails this week requesting the use of my images for free including two companies that each had 2 seperate individuals email me! LOL. The Flickr Free Riders are out in full force. Please do not fall prey to these type of requests. Your work is valuable and if more people took a stand, the companies that NEED our images for their publications would gladly pay a fair price.
Remember this post and remind yourself that your work is priceless, until you give it away for free.
Niagara USA offers a breathtaking view of one of nature’s marvels and an experience that will last a life time.
The Niagara Falls are the most powerful waterfalls in North America. These voluminous waterfalls are situated on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario and forms the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York and forms the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.
Four of the five Great Lakes drain into the Niagara River, (Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie) before emptying into Lake Ontario. These five Great Lakes make up almost one-fifth of the world's fresh water supply.
From here one can see all the three falls namely,American Falls,Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls .

Brighton Marina & Undercliff a walk I've done a few times and rode for that matter. On a sunny day the chalk that washes of the cliff face is as bright as snow. It follows the cliff line all the way along to Saltdean. Past Rottingdean and Ovingdean Gap. Plenty of spots along the way to have a paddle in the cool water of the English Channel. At low tide you can scramble over the chalk reefs us locals call The Rock Pools, and net and bucket are a must. Rottingdean further along offer Fish and Chips from the smugglers Inn chippy. Talking of Smugglers this place is rich in history.
The 508 offers a bus every two hours from the bottom of the lakes at Windermere and Bowness to the top at Penrith.
A surprise allocation on the Penrith side of the operation (the other operated by Kendal) was one of the generic Carlisle City branded E200s a little bit away from it's home turf....
37125 turns into Bowness Pier with a 508 to Penrith via Troutbeck, Patterdale and Sockbridge whilst 13801 loads on a 599 to Grasmere, two brands you wouldn't normally see side by side.
Japan offers lots of flowers to enjoy in spring. Although Sakura season is over, the Shibazakura (Moss Pink or Phlox Subulata) season is at its peak. Hitsujiyama Park is one of the most popular Shibazakura viewing spots in Japan. For people who likes flowers, this area is a must see place.

There is barely any color left in this 56 year-old 3.5x5 inch photograph of me and my brother.
Photos of that era had a tendency to start fading after a few years. Our Dad snapped this shot but I can't remember what type of camera or film he used, probably Kodak or Polaroid. A few years ago my brother scanned this photo and produced a digital image which I tweaked using photo editing software to bring that moment back to life. A little bit of color is all you need if your editing software offers a large "color saturation" adjustment.
I remember how dry and crispy the grass was on that day. It must have been late summer. I know it was hot. The shrubs had a perfume and I recall the faint odor of freshly painted shutters on the windows. Mom and Dad were proud of our place and kept it spic n span.
Mom kept a watchful eye on newspaper ads. Occasionally, Sears or Montgomery Ward would offer a 2 for 1 deal on boys clothing. Mom and Dad taught us what it meant to be frugal and thrifty. Dad's DIY burr haircuts and home maintenance projects showed us how to save money. I still cut my own hair. It ain't pretty but it feels good when I think of the money I've saved over the years.
We received those bikes (Huffy Cheater Slick) the previous Christmas and spent the summer of '69 polishing our fenders with Dad's Turtle Wax. I used my allowance to purchase a speedometer for my bike at the local Western Auto store and I'm not exactly sure why 😜 since I never reached more than 20 mph. I guess I thought it was cool. Back then, our world consisted of a few blocks within our neighborhood in Lexington, Kentucky. We would meet with our friends and see who could lock their brakes and lay down the longest skid-mark, or ride down to Southland Shopping Center to get an ice-cream cone, a comic book and some bubble gum.
I never watched CBS News-man Walter Cronkite (or Waller Crank-Tight as Dad called him) who appeared each evening on 1 of our 4 TV channels, but I remember watching Neil Armstrong plant his feet on the Moon.
Years later, I discovered how many headlines made history that year, how time has changed the world, and how some things never change.
Space
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins performed the first successful manned moon landing and Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. The Mariner 6 Mars probe was launched from the United States and Soviet space probes Venera 5 & 6 arrived in Venus' atmosphere and were able to transmit information about the planet for 50 minutes before the Soviets lost contact.
Project Blue Book, the United States Air Force’s investigation into unidentified flying objects known as UFOs, officially came to an end on December 17.
Music
The Woodstock Festival was held near White Lake, New York, attracting 350,000 music fans. Woodstock featured some of the top rock musicians of the era including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Joe Cocker, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In England, the Isle of Wight Festival attracted an audience of approximately 150,000 to watch 26 performers including Bob Dylan, The Who, Blonde On Blonde, Joe Cocker, The Moody Blues and Free. A free concert organized by the Rolling Stones was held at Altamont Speedway in Livermore, California with problems caused by the use of Hells Angels as Bouncers resulting in a number of deaths.
The Beatles released their Abbey Road album and gave their last public performance from the roof of Apple Records in London. John Lennon and Yoko Ono were married at Gibraltar, and had their honeymoon "Bed-In" for peace in Amsterdam. The John Lennon Album "Two Virgins" featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the nude were confiscated at Newark Airport. Brian Jones, former Rolling Stones Guitarist drowned after a drinking and drug binge.
Led Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin II to critical acclaim, Pink Floyd released their Ummagumma album, The Rolling Stones released their Let It Bleed album and The Who released their Tommy album featuring the hit classic Pinball Wizard. Elvis Presley scored his final number one hit with the song Suspicious Minds.
Popular Songs: The Rolling Stones -- " Honky Tonk Woman ", The Beatles -- " Get Back" and "Come Together ", Johnny Cash -- "Daddy Sang Bass", Zager and Evans -- "In The Year 2525", The Archies -- "Sugar Sugar" and The Fifth Dimension -- "Aquarius".
Politicians
Richard Nixon was sworn in as the 37th U.S. president and Golda Meir became the first female prime minister of Israel. Moammar Gadhafi, a military captain at the time, deposed King Idris and assumed control of Libya. Charles de Gaulle Resigned as French President. Former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower died after a long illness at the age of 79 and Ho Chi Minh, the president of North Vietnam also died at the age of 79.
US Senator Edward M. Kennedy drove off a bridge into a tidal pond after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts, killing passenger Mary Jo Kopechne who was trapped inside the vehicle. Kennedy did not report the accident for nine or ten hours.
Sea
Robin Knox-Johnston became the first person to sail around the world solo without stopping. Donald Crowhurst's sailing trimaran Teignmouth Electron was found drifting and unoccupied in mid-Atlantic; it was presumed that Crowhurst committed suicide (or fell overboard) at sea earlier in the month having falsified his progress in the solo Sunday Times Golden Globe Race.
John Fairfax landed in Hollywood Beach, Florida near Miami and became the first person to row across an ocean solo. The SS United States, the last active United States Lines passenger ship, was withdrawn from service and the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 was entered into service.
The Australian light aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne sliced the destroyer USS Frank E. Evans in half killing 82 of her crew.
Flight
The Boeing 747 "jumbo jet" was flown for the first time, taking off from the Boeing airfield at Everett, Washington. The 747 also made its first passenger flight carrying 191 people, most of them reporters and photographers, from Seattle to New York City.
In Toulouse, France, The Concorde made its first successful flight with a maximum cruising speed of 2,179 km (1,354 miles) per hour, more than twice the speed of sound and The Hawker Siddeley Harrier known as the "Jump Jet" was entered into service with the Royal Air Force.
Despite temperatures of -43C at altitudes of 29,000 ft. 22-year-old Cuban refugee Armando Socarras Ramirez survived in the wheel well of a DC-8 from Havana, Cuba, to Madrid, Spain, wearing only light clothing.
Medicine
On 4 April 1969, Domingo Liotta and Denton A. Cooley replaced a dying man's heart with a mechanical heart inside the chest at The Texas Heart Institute in Houston as a bridge for a transplant. The man woke up and began to recover. After 64 hours, the pneumatic-powered artificial heart was removed and replaced with a donor heart.
A teenager known as 'Robert R.' died in St. Louis, Missouri, of a baffling medical condition. In 1984 Robert R's condition was identified as the earliest confirmed case of HIV/AIDS in North America.
Doctors at Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, made medical history on April 22nd, when they performed the first human eye transplant on 54-year-old John Madden. Because the donor eye had not been preserved enough to keep it viable, the procedure failed to restore Madden's sight.
Weather
During the last week of February a snowstorm hit the Northeastern U.S. region. The storm had a Regional Snowfall Index (RSI) of 34.03 making it a Category 5 storm. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire had over 8 feet of snow during the storm. On February 25 alone, Mt. Washington had over 4 feet of snow: 49.3 inches, which is still the one-day record.
Category 5 Hurricane Camille, the most powerful tropical cyclonic system at landfall in history, hit the Mississippi coast, killing 248 people and left $1.5 billion dollars in damage (1969 dollars).
Crime
Michael Mageau and Darlene Ferrin were shot at Blue Rock Springs Park in Vellejo, California. They were the second (known) victims of the Zodiac Killer. Mageau survived the attack but Ferrin was pronounced dead-on-arrival at Richmond Medical Center. Two months later, The Zodiac Killer stabbed Bryan Hartnell and Cecilia Shepard at Lake Berryessa. Hartnell survived but Shepard died. During the following month, The Zodiac Killer shot and killed taxi driver Paul Stine in the Presidio Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, marking the infamous serial killer's last known slaying.
Members of the Manson Family invaded the home of actress Sharon Tate and her husband Roman Polanski in Los Angeles. The followers killed Tate (who was 8.5 months pregnant), and her friends: Folgers coffee heiress Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, and Hollywood hairstylist Jay Sebring. Also killed was Steven Parent, leaving from a visit to the Polanskis' caretaker. More than 100 stab wounds were found on the victims, except for Parent, who had been shot almost as soon as the Manson Family entered the property. The following day the Manson Family killed Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, a wealthy Los Angeles businessman and his wife.
Police raid Stonewall Inn on June 28th a gay club located in New York City ending The Stonewall Riot.
In a Los Angeles court, Sirhan Sirhan admitted that he killed presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy.

The trial began of the "Chicago Seven" accused of inciting a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Boxing champion Muhammad Ali was convicted of evading the draft after he refused to be inducted into the U.S. Army. Arrest warrants were issued by a Florida court for Jim Morrison on charges of indecent exposure during a Doors concert.
The Unexplained
Six-year-old Dennis Martin disappeared while camping in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Dennis was last seen by his father going behind a bush to hide, intending to surprise the adults with the other children. After not seeing him for about five minutes and when the other children had returned to the campsite, his father became concerned and began searching for him. His father ran down the trail for nearly two miles, until he was sure he could not have gotten any farther. After several hours, they sought help from National Park Service rangers. The search effort was the most extensive in the park's history, involving approximately 1,400 searchers and a 56-square-mile (150 km2) area. Dennis was never found.
While campaigning in Leary, GA, future president Jimmy Carter and several other guests at a Lion's Club Meeting witnessed an Unidentified Flying Object.

Under normal circumstances, Quay Sta’nn would have never thought of going back to his home planet Coruscant. Not after he got into quite some serious trouble with some crime gangs fairly soon after Order 66 got executed. But the job he was offered now was too big of an opportunity to miss. The Empire has initiated an assault on the mining world of Vanquo, and if this battle is lost the Empire will be vulnerable. Imperial forces have been called towards the center of Coruscant in case the Separatists attack the planet. This has left one of the biggest data vaults on Coruscant under low protection; a perfect opportunity to initiate a raid on the vault. The Red Hand, a crime syndicate Quay dealt with a few months ago, has hired all kinds of bounty hunters and smugglers to cause a distraction in the lower levels, and to raid the vault of its important information. Quay had taken the job to cause a distraction to draw Imperial troops away from the vault itself in exchange for a hefty sum of credits. The question floating around in his mind was, just how will he accomplish that?
After he had arrived at the planet on one of the spaceports, it immediately became clear to Quay how much the planet had changed in the few years he wasn't on Coruscant. As soon as Quay stepped out of the transport with the other passengers, a couple of heavily armed troopers walked towards them to see their IDs. Luckily, Quay brought a fake ID right before he left, otherwise he most likely would have gotten in trouble. The troopers took a look at his ID, gave it back to him, and nodded as a sign that he was free to walk through the gates. Quay walked through the gates and enjoyed the view of the skyline of this part of the planet. He took a taxi to the parts of the planet where he used to live, to see if his favorite places to go to were still there. After a bit of searching, Quay found one of the cantinas he’d frequented previously, down in level 4597.
On the outside, Gratt’s Tavern could just be described as one of the many, many bars down in the lower levels of this planet. But once you stepped inside, you could feel the warmth this place has. At every given point of the day, there was always some random smuggler or criminal enjoying a drink or playing a game of sabacc. The cantina had a variety of musicians who would play live music during the busy hours, and a reprogrammed protocol droid served as a waiter. And on top of that, the cantina was run by a kind old man named Terras Gratt, who could always provide a bit of advice and positive thinking when someone had some problems.
As Quay entered the tavern, memories of all the time he had spent in this place came flooding back. Here, he got his first mission, spent too many hours late in the night drinking all kinds of liquor, sharing stories with friends, and most of all, the apartment where Quay used to live was located right above the cantina. As soon as Gratt recognized who he was he walked towards Quay with a big smile on his face.
"Quay? You’re still alive? I thought those Imperials killed you years ago when you left here!” Terras said.
“I'm more surprised that you are still alive, you old barrel! With all the fights that break out in this part of the planet, it's a wonder that you haven't been killed yet,” Quay replied.
“The secret is just avoiding conflict at all costs. You can't be killed in a fight if you never are in a fight, to begin with!”
“Can’t argue with that logic,” Quay said. “So, how have you been holding up over these years? I could imagine the Empire changed a lot of stuff around here.”
“If you want, I have some time to catch up with each other. Apart from the occasional smuggler who stops by to get a drink, around this time of the day, it’s always quite calm here. And while we're at it, take a drink—on the house!”
After the two talked together for a while, they came on the subject of the apartment above the bar that Quay had lived in for quite some time before his departure from Coruscant. Terras owns the apartment and rents it out to people, but when Quay asked if someone came to live thereafter he left the planet, Gratt replied that the apartment had been vacant ever since he left.
“Would you mind it if I would stay there for a few days? Gotta finish this one mission I have, then I will probably leave again. And once I get paid for it, I will make sure to give you a share to cover the apartment.”
“Sure! It's quite a mess at the moment though. Since I couldn't get anyone to rent that place, I started using it to store left-over drinks and stuff I never use anymore. So unless you have a problem with sleeping in the mess, you are free to stay there.”
Because Quay would be gone in a few days anyway, he accepted the offer to stay in the mess for a couple of days. He packed the small amount of stuff he brought with him and headed to the apartment upstairs. As soon as he entered the room, Quay saw how much stuff was in there. Broken glasses, tables filled with blaster holes presumably from shootouts that happened there, tanks filled with fluids, and more junk was scattered all around the fairly big place. At least there was still a bed present in the room, and some other small furniture that Quay could still use. He dropped his luggage on the bed and opened the blinds to enjoy the view he used to see almost every day. Because it was almost night, Quay prepared to go to sleep. Just as he was about to go to sleep, the room was suddenly illuminated by a purple glow coming from the corner of the room.
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you on the spot.” a female voice said. A figure emerged from the shadows, and Quay saw where the purple light came from. The woman was holding a lightsaber, meaning that this person was most likely a Jedi.
¨Look, there’s no need for a fight here, I can get you whatever you want if you help me on a mission. Food, credits, a ride to get off this planet, you name it.¨
The Jedi thought about the offer for a moment, before accepting it.
“If you can get me a stock of credits and a fake ID, I will aid you on your mission. I'm planning on leaving this planet since it’s filled with Imperialists, but that’s hard to do when those troops closely monitor everyone who enters and leaves this planet. So, what is that job of yours?”
Quay explained what was happening on Vanquo, and the job the Red Hand offered him.
“So that is why the city center was so filled with Imperial troops.” the Jedi said.
“Indeed. The Red Hand tasked me with causing a distraction somewhere in these levels, but I have no idea how I am going to do that. In about 3 hours, the raids are supposed to start, but without a solid plan, I am not sure if I will even finish this job.”
“Don't worry about it. While you get me that ID and credits, I will stay here to make us a plan. But if this is all a trick, and you’re planning to give me over to the Empire, the pain of this blade slicing through your body will be the last thing you feel.”
“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. I am not planning to give you to the Empire. By the way, I never properly introduced myself to you. My name is Quay Sta’nn. If you don't want to tell me your name, I can understand that.” Quay said before walking out the door.
“Shaella. My name is Shaella Xalrich.” The Jedi said.
Quay went out on the streets, still worried about how he would ever be able to accomplish this job, but he did know where to get a false ID, so that’s where he would start; he went to an old friend who was able to make him a couple of fake IDs for the Jedi without divulging any info. When he returned to his apartment a few hours later with some food he grabbed from a food stand a few blocks away, Shaella was still busy making the plan for the raid.
¨This has been a lot harder than i expected. I made a few plans, but they are very risky.¨ Shaella said.
¨Ah, forget it. The raid will be starting in about an hour. I doubt we will be able to participate in them without a solid plan. I got us some food, so if you want some feel free to take it. Also got those credits and that false ID for you, but I first want a solid plan before you will get those.¨ Quay replied.
Shaella nodded that she understood it, and started eating a bowl with food. She and Quay started talking about some stuff while they were eating, and Quay told her all kinds of stories from his past on this planet. The two enjoyed sharing some of their experiences to each other. After a while, they got to the topic of Order 66.
¨I have a bit of a weird question, but...how did you survive the Purge? I thought Order 66 wiped out the entire Jedi Order.¨ Quay asked.
Shaella went silent for a moment, before telling him how she survived the Purge.
¨Me, my master, and our pack of Clone Troopers were stationed on Colla IV near the end of the Clone Wars. Here, they manufactured droidekas and more droids for the Separatists. We were waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike at one of the factories, when suddenly the commander got a call from Chancellor Palpatine himself. Although I wasn't paying attention to what was said to them, I did hear a few words: ¨Execute Order 66.¨ Before I knew it, the Clones had their weapons pointed at me and my master. We managed to get to the gunship to escape the planet, but my master got wounded to the point where no surgeon could save him anymore. I managed to take control of the gunship and eventually crashed on this planet, but my master died a slow and painful death on the way there. He left me his Lightsaber, but since using one Lightsaber is risky enough on its own, I usually carry it with me at all times. To this day, I can still feel the emotional and physical effects of that event. Everyone that i knew and could trust, have been killed or is now held in a prison somewhere by the Empire. And while that all is happening, i am stuck here, without being able to do anything to it.¨
Quay went silent after hearing this story. He himself went through some heavy stuff growing up, but he could imagine the kinds of consequences an event like this could leave to a person.
The silence was quickly ended by someone banging on the door. Shaella hid behind the trash in the room, while Quay walked towards the door to open it. An Stormtrooper was standing in the doorway, with several more troopers standing behind him.
¨We have reports of a Force-sensitive hiding around somewhere in this sector. Would you mind if we take a look around this apartment?¨ The trooper asked.
¨Of course not.¨ Quay replied. Although he was worried that the troopers would find Shaella, he knew that if that were to happen she would be able to take them all on. 5 troopers stepped through the doorway, and started searching the apartment. It didn't take long before one of the troopers shouted: ¨Hey, what is this woman doing behind all of this junk?¨ Shaella quickly ignited her lightsaber and fighted the Stormtroopers. While the troopers did their absolute best to try to take her down, Shaella doged and blocked all of their attacks, and took them down one by one. Just before she was about to take down the last trooper in the room, he shouted in his comms:
¨The Force-sensitive has been found! Requesting immediate backup on level 4597!¨
Shaella´s blade sliced through the trooper, but it was too late. All of the Empire was now alerted of their presence, and would be at this location in a matter of minutes.
¨Well, what should we do now?¨ Quay asked Shaella. She thought about it for a second, until coming up with an answer.
¨I'm done with hiding from the Empire. I would rather fight them for the greater cause and go down in glory, than to spend my remaining days rotting away here.¨
The two stepped outside the door, and immediately saw dozens of troopers running towards them. Quay and Shaella quickly stepped into Gratt´s tavern. The cantina was filled with people, but if they didn´t get out as soon as possible, they would get caught in the heat of the battle. Shaella ignited her lightsaber, and yelled: ¨Everyone, get out of here, now!¨ Nobody hesitated for a second, and in a matter of seconds the cantina was empty, with the exception of Terras who stood behind the bar, terrified.
¨What is this, Quay? Care to explain why you are with a Jedi, who just scared away all of my customers?¨ Gratt said, noticeably angry and scared.
¨No time to explain right now. Listen, the Empire is about to arrive here in seconds, and without any good intentions. It's better if you get out of here, right now.¨
¨There is no way i am leaving my own cantina behind! I´ll stay here. I have a blaster here, so I can protect myself if needed. I will just hide behind the counter, together with my protocol droid.¨ Gratt replied.
¨Well, prepare yourself for a heavy fight if you stay here. And Quay; I hope you can handle this. You´ll need it if you want to survive this battle.¨ Shaella said.
Shaella threw something towards Quay. He caught it, and looked at what he held in his hands; it was a Lightsaber. He ignited it, and a green blade emitted from the saber.
¨This saber used to belong to my master. I held onto it for years, but I never used it.¨
¨Wow, I don't know how to thank you. I am sure this will be helpful in the fight.¨
¨Thank me later. First, we have some Bucketheads to take down.¨
Right as she said that, the first Stormtroopers walked into the cantina. While Quay had some trouble getting used to using a Lightsaber at first, he was able to quickly take down the first troops. Shaella used the Force intensively, and used it to hold one of the troops in the air right before piercing him with her Lightsaber. Just as that happened, a couple of troopers equipped with heavy-repeating blasters entered the cantina. Although Quay was able to dodge most of the blaster fire, a few of the blaster bolts hit the Lightsaber, damaging it enough to make the blade retract.. In the corner of his eye, he could also see one of the blaster bolts hit the Protocol droid Gratt owns, probably damaging it beyond repair. The fight seemed to last forever, until Quay and Shaella delivered the final blow towards the Empire. 4 Reconnaissance Troop Transports arrived, each carrying about a dozen troopers. Gratt quickly tried to get Quays attention, and he revealed some explosives he took as a payment from some arms dealers who stopped by to get a drink there earlier that day. Quay took some of them, activated them, and threw them at the troop transports. The devices rolled under the transports and detonated, causing the transports to explode. The few Stormtroopers who survived the blast, quickly received orders to retreat; the fight was won. Quay received a message from the Red Hand; The vault was successfully raided, and mostly thanks to Quay and Shaella. Although the Red Hand didn't know how he pulled it off exactly, a big part of the troops were sent to their location while other smugglers and bounty hunters raided the vault.
¨Well, I guess we didn't really need a plan to get this job done.¨ Quay said. ¨Thank you Shaella, I couldn't have done it without you. Since you have aided me in my mission, I will stick to my promise; here are the fake ID and credits needed to get off this planet. And Gratt, for you, I can get you some of the best repairers to fix your droid, plus some more credits to cover the damage we made here.¨
¨Quay, I want you to take this. I am ready to let go of my past, and start a new life somewhere. Since that Lightsaber of yours got pretty damaged, you can use parts of mine to repair it. With it, I have instructions on how to safely repair it. Goodbye, Quay Sta'nn. It was a delight to work with you.¨ Shaella said, before she walked off to get off the planet.
A few days later, Quay was working to repair the Lightsaber using Shaella´s instructions. The damage in Gratt´s Tavern was now mostly repaired, and his protocol droid was as good as new. Quay emitted the saber, and a purple blade emitted. It used to belong to a skilled Jedi, but now he owned it. He took his time to make it truly his own, and it showed off. He took a moment to process the power of the weapon he had in his hands right now. Anyone could use a blaster, but to handle a weapon like this it required more skill to handle. It will take a lot of time to learn how to properly use it, but one thing was for sure; This weapon would change Quay's life.

Dares Hill Circuit.
This route goes from Hallett into sheep station country east of Hallett and Mt Bryan East to Ketchowla and Collinsville stations and others before returning the farming country at Terowie. The highest peak is Dares Hill at 541 metres high. It offers vast panoramas of the semi desert country of the eastern ranges and plains. Beyond Mt Bryan East the road passes Piltimitiappa, Collinsville, Mallett, Ketchowla and Pandappa stations. The station homesteads are mainly ruins and deserted but this is still good sheep country. Creek crossing such as Wonna Creek and Dust Hole Creek etc are flat bottomed desert creeks which occasionally flood but often with quite deep gorges. The government roads pass through the current stations and grids and gates, which have to be shut and opened, are frequent as you pass through private property. Near Ketchowla station is the other main peak on this route Mt Pullen often called Ketchowla Hill. It is 502 metres high.
Piltimitiappa homestead. This fine stone ruin of several buildings was the head station of William Dare’s sheep run. William Dare began his pastoral enterprises on this run. William Dare was born in London in 1824 and arrived in South Australia in 1838. He worked as a shepherd for some years and went to seek his fortune in the Victorian goldfields in 1851. He came away with £700 a great sum in those days. On his return to South Australia he took out a lease of 50 square miles, or 32,000 acres east of Hallett which he named Piltimitiappa around 1853. With the help of Aboriginal workers he located water holes on his run and fenced some of it and built a split pine log cabin for his wife. After a few years he erected a stone homestead, a large woolshed and he built pug and pine water tanks. At first he sheared many of his own sheep and baled the wool himself in a timber press. His flocks suffered during the great drought of 1864-65 but he survived. When the government resumed much of his Piltimitiappa run for farming lands in the Hundred of Tomkinson in 1892 he received £4,000 for his improvements to the land. William Dare also held at various times Oopina run near Waukaringa, and Paratoo run near Yunta.
Collinsville station. Henry Collings, born in 1832, arrived in South Australia from Devonshire in 1846 with his parents. Both he and his father John worked in the Burra copper mines. Henry saved his money and bought a team of bullocks around 1849 to cart copper ore to Port Adelaide. In 1856 he married a local Burra girl and then began delivering flux from Iron Mine at Leighton to the Burra smelters with his bullocks. North of Burra John Hallett and his brother Alfred took out leases that covered much of the later Collinsville station. Henry Collings purchased his first land at Mt Bryan in 1856 and he made his home there. After the birth of his second son in 1859 he changed his family name to Collins. This second son John Collins went on to found Collinsville station. Meantime Henry Collins purchased more land in the Hundred of Kingston which he called Lucernedale homestead. Hundreds in the marginal lands beyond Goyder’s Line we e surveyed into Hundreds in the mid to late 1870s following a few years of above average rainfall. By 1884 much of this land had been returned to the government as farming was not viable. At this time Henry Collins took his chance to breed Merino sheep at his Lucernedale farm and he leased lands in the eastern district beyond Mt Bryan East to Mallett. His son John Collins however also leased land from 1879 and founded Collinsville stud in 1895. Another brother bought adjoining Mallett station when it went up for sale in 1917. Collinsville went on to became a major Australia Merino stud and still is today. Father Henry Collins was a founder of the Mt Bryan East Bible Christian Church which was built in 1871 and is located on the Dares Hill Circuit.
John Collins and his family moved to the present Collinsville homestead site in 1884. He soon build a stone homestead, managers houses, workers cottages and a grand stone shearing shed etc. By 1894 it was a property of about 18,000 acres. The homestead with French doors to the veranda was built in 1905 with blue stone and local limestone. It sis till occupied. Another 85,000 acres was added to Collinsville in the early 1900s. By 1912 the property was 112,000 acres. In the 1920s John bought land near Booborowie to grow lucerne for fodder to “drought proof” the station. Founder John Collins and his wife died with four days of each other in 1932. Their son Art Collins continued to improve the Collinsville stud. He died in 1969 when Collinsville stud was at its height of renown. In more recent times Collinsville Pastoral Company owned Mallett, Collinsville, Pulpara, Willara and Wymong stations. Collinsville was sold by the Handbury family to George Millington in 2020.
Mallett. When the town of Mallet was surveyed in the Hundred of Tomkinson in 1881 only nine of 500 town allotments were sold. It never developed as no buildings were ever erected there. The non-existent town officially ceased to exist in 1928. Maurice Collins bought it in 1917 and ran it as another successful Merino sheep stud.
Ketchowla.
Ketchowla run was taken out by Christopher Giles in 1853. He selected a spot near a spring for the head station area of the run on the edge of the ranges. It covered an area of 135 square miles, or 86,400 acres. Much of the leasehold was in flat saltbush country. When Giles sold the run in 1860 it included the spring and two bores, a seven room stone homestead, which still stands albeit in ruins, a shearing shed, stockyards and four workers cottages. Hillary Boucart bought half the leasehold and ran it with Christopher Giles’ son Alfred. But the big northern drought of 1864 to 1866 in South Australia saw their sheep flock reduced and the pair had to sell Ketchowla leasehold. The new owner was Frederick Austin who in turn tried to sell the leasehold in 1873 when Ketchowla was 245 square miles, or 156,800 acres in size. In 1874 the property was acquired by Sir Thomas Elder. Sir Thomas Elder held about a dozen massive outback South Australian stations as well as some in partnership with others. He probably kept Fredrick Austin on Ketchowla as his manager. In 1880 the Hundred of Ketchowla was declared with the government hoping it could become a farming district after some high rainfall years. 223 square miles of Ketchowla leasehold were resumed by the government for survey and then for sale from Frederick Austin the then current leaseholder on behalf of Sir Thomas Elder. From 1880 drought years soon returned and by 1880 farmers were generally sceptical and this afforded Frederick Austin the opportunity continue his leasehold of Ketchowla on an annual basis. By then William Dearlove was working on the station as the manager. But in 1883 Austin attempted to sell the 233 leasehold. After some years only three small sections of land had been bought freehold in the Hundred of Ketchowla. Austin continued on Ketchowla station for some years but from 1886 William Dearlove was the man in charge and he took over the leasehold entirely in 1890 until he died in 1914. His descendants were still the leaseholders of Ketchowla well into the 1980s.

At 76 stories, New York by Gehry offers an exceptional variety of residences with views of New York City’s downtown and midtown skylines, rivers, bridges and landmarks.
The articulated façade of the building yields over 200 unique floor plans, which feature asymmetrical bay windows that expand into the apex of each curve. Stepping into these free form bays residents experience the city in a new perspective, and the sculptural qualities of the building itself become part of the view.
Gehry’s design extends beyond the exterior of the building and into the interiors themselves. Floor plans take advantage of the organic shape of the exterior, and, as a result, niches have been formed that offer the opportunity for reading, dining, or just reflecting on the spectacular view. Every window has been fitted with solar shades that filter light and offer privacy without obscuring views.
Interior finishes and fixtures have all been designed and selected by Gehry, beginning with brushed stainless steel entry door hardware designed by Gehry, inspired by the organic forms found in nature. Custom cabinetry in kitchens and baths is fabricated with vertical grain Douglas Fir, a material whose fine grain and amber coloring combine to create an effect that is both polished and warm. Tones of light and charcoal gray in brushed stainless steel appliances, chrome fixtures, porcelain tile flooring, and quartz countertops complement this warmth. All elements of the interiors combine to create an aesthetic that is comfortable, light and modern.
A comprehensive array of lifestyle and valet services is available to the residents, including move-in coordination, the development of custom furniture packages, weekly fresh flower delivery and expert housekeeping. In addition, the concierge can secure reservations at coveted restaurants, premier seating at live shows and performances, prepare custom travel arrangements, and oversee the planning of special events, including private parties held in New York by Gehry’s amenity spaces.
El edificio 8 Spruce Street (anteriormente conocido como la Torre Beekman, o simplemente El Beekman, y actualmente mencionado como Nueva York de Gehry, es un rascacielos de 76 pisos diseñado por el arquitecto Frank Gehry en la Ciudad de Nueva York, en el nº. 8 de la calle Spruce, en el barrio de Manhattan, justo al sur del City Hall Plaza y el Puente de Brooklyn.
Es uno de los edificios de viviendas más altos en el hemisferio occidental, y en cierto modo parecido en altura y forma al Aqua, el rascacielos de Chicago. Su estructura portante es de hormigón armado. El edificio fue desarrollado por Forest City Ratner y construido por Kreisler Borg Florman. Alberga una escuela primaria pública, propiedad del Departamento de Educación.
Fue inaugurado en febrero de 2011
