The rollers and chain in the previous photo are in use here. Ghost, the red and white boat of 'last boat to be slipped' fame is in a cradle which is positioned several metres away from the tracks. Ghost is now being moved sideways with the "come-along" (ratchet chain hoist) until the wheel of the cradle meets the track rail. I am sure someone else can explain this better! I had great fun making Ghost move :-)) and here she is after being moved onto the rails ready for slipping.

No hemos acabado con este extraño 2014 y ya tenemos a varios de los grandes preparando su alineación de cara a la próxima temporada. A Radiohead, probablemente Metallica y quién sabe si Tool va a sumarse don Steven Wilson, la figura más impactante en el mundo del Rock Progresivo, figura que no solo se alimenta por su labor estrictamente como músico sino que se engrandece por su empeño en volver a poner en vigencia a muchos de los clásicos que el prog nos regaló en los setenta.
Y claro, una vez nos ha metido en el zurrón a un clásico como The Power and the Glory de los infravalorados Gentle Giant y ha mezclado discos como Pale Communion o Distant Satellites de Anathema, Steven Wilson nos pide que hagamos sitio a su cuarto disco en solitario, disco que anuncia para inicios de 2015 y al cual, por supuesto, estaremos muy atentos en esta casa.
Recording of the follow up album to 'The Raven that Refused To Sing' starts this month (with the same band line-up).
— Steven Wilson (@StevenWilsonHQ) agosto 2, 2014
El prolífico músico londinense ya había anunciado en mayo de este año que estaba trabajando en su nuevo disco, pero fue ayer, a través de las Redes Sociales que confirmaba la entrada al estudio de grabación este mismo mes de agosto, confirmando el mismo line up que ya le ayudó con el impresionante The Raven That Refused to Sing, anuncios publicados quizás por la alegría de leer que su última obra era considerada la novena mejor en la historia del Rock Progresivo por parte de la famosa publicación Prog Rock Mag.
En su último mensaje en twitter Steven Wilson nos invitaba a permanecer atentos pues en breve nos daría más detalles al respecto de, desde ya, uno de los discos más esperados de cara al año que viene. Y lo estaremos, y os informaremos convenientemente.

During my lunch hour today I wandered down to the Water of Leith for some dipper shots. Got a few okay ones but mostly throwaway. On my way back to the office my attention was drawn to loud chirping in the trees at Belford Road and to my delight around 6 Long-tailed tits were hopping about. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two land on a nearby branch and one of them began hanging upside down. It took a second to realise that it was dangling helplessly because its wing had somehow got stuck. Now that I've scrutinised the shots, it would appear that the wing is literally glued to the end of the branch where some sap is.
The poor thing dangled helplessly as the rain started and the wind picked up. Other long-tails landed beside it and looked down in what appeared to be a show of concern. They certainly knew something was wrong. There was lots of anxious tweeting. Eventually the bird managed to pull itself up enough to start pulling away at its wing feather. To no avail at first, and I really thought it was going to end up dying there.
But the story has a happy ending as the wee thing eventually managed to rip its wing free, with minimal damage it would appear. I hope so anyway!
Does anyone know if this is a common occurence. I'm aware that tree sap is extremely sticky and could act like a sort of glue to a delicate feather but surely this kind of thing doesn't happen too often.
The Kaiser William Memorial Church is located in Berlin on the Kurfürstendamm. The original church on the site was built in the 1890s. It was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1943. The present building, which consists of a church with an attached foyer and a separate belfry with an attached chapel, was built between 1959 and 1963. The damaged spire of the old church has been retained and its ground floor has been made into a memorial hall.
The new church was designed by Egon Eiermann and consists of four buildings grouped around the remaining ruins of the old church. The initial design included the demolition of the spire of the old church but following pressure from the public, it was decided to incorporate it into the new design. The four buildings comprise, on the west of the ruins, the new church with a foyer to its west, and to the east of the ruins, a tower with a chapel to its northeast. These components are sited on a plateau measuring 100 metres long and 40 metres wide. The new buildings are constructed of concrete, steel and glass.
The walls of the church are made of a concrete honeycomb containing 21,292 stained glass inlays. The glass was designed by Gabriel Loire and it was inspired by the colours of the glass in Chartres Cathedral. The predominant colour is blue, with small areas of ruby red, emerald green and yellow. The church is 35 metres in diameter and 20.5 metres high with a capacity of over 1,000.
The new church was consecrated on May 25, 1962 - the same day as the new Coventry Cathedral - and features a cross made of nails from the old Coventry Cathedral.

SOPAC 2.0 in TextMate. I've been using Vim for about 10 years now in console mode. But I really would like to start doing cut-and-paste in a real window (yes, in some ways I'm still stuck in the 1980s). Never really liking GVim or BBEdit, I've been searching around for the right editor and I think I may have found it in TextMate. It's not free ($65), but I really, really like it. I also need to learn all of its in-and-outs and I do miss Vim a little which is a familiar old friend. I kinda feel a little guilty, like I'm cheating on it.
That's called Geek Angst.

The Stadium Business Design Summit at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Tuesday November 30, 2021.
Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.

See http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/7961/all, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Przewalski's Horse is extinct in the wild and only maintained through captive breeding programmes.
Here is an extract from the IUCN site regarding this species:
Equus ferus ssp. przewalskii – Extinct in the Wild
Extract from Wakefield et al. 2002, pp. 83-84: "Since the ‘rediscovery’ of the Przewalski’s Horse for western science, western zoos and wild animal parks became interested in this species for their collections. Several long expeditions were mounted to catch animals. Some expeditions came back empty handed and some had only seen a glimpse of Przewalski’s Wild Horse. It proved difficult to catch adult horses, because they were too shy and fast. Capture of foals, with possible killing of the adult harem members, was considered the only option (Bouman and Bouman 1994). Four capture expeditions that managed to catch live foals took place between 1897 and 1902. Fifty three of these foals reached the west alive. Between the 1930s and the 1940s only a few Przewalski’s Horses were caught and most died. At least one mare was crossbred with domestic horses by the Mongolian War Ministry. One mare (Orliza III), particularly through her son Bars, was of great importance to breeding in the west (Bouman and Bouman 1994).
Small groups of horses were reported through the 1940s and 1950s in an area between the Baitak-Bogdo ridge and the ridge of the Takhin-Shara-Nuru (which, translated from Mongolian, means "the Yellow Mountain of the Wild Horse), but numbers appeared to decline dramatically after World War II. A number of causes have been cited for the final extinction of Przewalski’s horses. Among these are significant cultural and political changes (Bouman and Bouman 1994), hunting (Zhao and Liang 1992, Bouman and Bouman 1994), military activities (Ryder 1993), climatic change (Sokolov et al. 1992), and competition with livestock and increasing land use pressure (Sokolov et al. 1992, Ryder 1993, Bouman and Bouman 1994). Capture expeditions probably diminished the remaining Przewalski’s Horse populations by killing and dispersing the adults (S. Dulamtseren in Van Dierendonck and de Vries 1996). The harsh winters in 1945, 1948, and 1956 probably had an additional impact on the small population (Bouman and Bouman 1994). Increased pressure on, and rarity of waterholes in their last refuge should also be considered as a significant factor contributing to their extinction (Van Dierendonck and de Vries 1996).
The last confirmed sighting in the wild was made in 1969 by the Mongolian scientist N. Dovchin. He saw a stallion near a spring called Gun Tamga, north of the Tachin-Shara-Nuru, in the Dzungarian Gobi (Paklina and Pozdnyakova 1989). Annual investigations by the Joint Mongolian-Soviet Expedition have since failed to find conclusive evidence for their survival in the wild (Ryder 1990). Chinese biologists conducted a survey in northeastern Xinjiang from 1980 to 1982 (covering the area of 88–90° E and 41°31'–47°10' N) without finding any horses (Gao and Gu 1989). The last wild populations have almost certainly disappeared."
View Large On Black - Well... It certainly looked like an alien the first time I saw one last week! It's called an "Ambush Bug" and it's not even a half inch long.
From a couple sources on the web...
These stealthy critters sit very still on or near flowers, their superb camouflage allowing them to remain undetected while an unwitting butterfly or other unfortunate happens by to gather nectar. They then seize their prey using front legs adapted for the task - these legs resemble the front legs of the praying mantis. It is a ferocious bug indeed that takes prey 10 times its own size.
The mouth of this bug as with the assassin bug (a close cousin) is shaped like a spike that is plunged into the body of the prey it catches. The "proboscis" is used to jab the victim. The saliva then dissolves the insides of the insect it has caught. Once it is turned to liquid, this is sucked from the insect much like we might use a straw. The bug's saliva is able to paralyze the food prey so the ambush bug can feed without having to hold tightly to its dinner.

You can see the left leg of the Ambush Bug holding the head of its victim while it inserts it's proboscis to extract the dissolved, insect milk shake! Yummmmm....
The night before this image was taken we took this little beauty inside and photographed it with my bud's MP-E 65 and strobes, with the camera on a tripod. After our little "Studio Session" we put the bug and the flower she was sitting on back in the same spot. I checked on her several times over the next 24 hours and she hadn't moved 4 inches. On one of those occasions she had caught, and was feeding on this fly.
Very cool to find these tiny little dramas playing out under our feet!

For a week, Lee and myself left the Hebrides in the hopeful search for a new home on the mainland.
We headed across Scotland to Aberdeenshire and back, so most of these photos are from this trip including the Isle of Skye.
We stayed at Glenside Stables, a stables managed by Lee's animal-mad daughter Abby! There we saw the grandchildren for the first time in months and of course the many animals including a Roe Deer.
This lovely wee creature was abandoned by its mother and is being hand reared by Abby. As a result, it follows her around like its mother, plays happily with the dogs and the children and will curl up happily with Theo, the toddler.
So thank you to Abby and family for your hospitality and here's a link to their Facebook page:
Despite its beauty and popularity, the Palace closed in 1978, and unsurprisingly began to crumble. Some of the windows were smashed, the marquee began to rust. Thankfully, it didn't take long for residents to realize that this gem would be lost forever should no one do anything, and in 1983, Cumberland Heritage began making noise about restoring and saving the Palace.
Still, little was done until 1989, when the Palace was listed in David Naylor's "Great American Movie Theatres". Beginning in the 90s, Downtown Crossville, Inc., a group of citizens, began the drive to save what was left of the Palace. The city purchased the property in '93 thanks to DCI's push, and in '94, the National Historic Register added the Palace to its list.
By 1996, the people of Crossville had approved the funding of a bond to restore the Palace so it could be used as a community auditorium. TNDOT also donated over $230,000 to the cause. More importantly (if you ask me), many private corporations donated money, while students and other locals donated their time and bodies for work in the theatre itself.
The Palace had her grand reopening in February of 2001, and the restoration has led to a revival of the entire downtown area where the Palace sits. Today, she hosts debates, fundraisers, music, pageants, various entertainments, and, of course, classic film.
It made me smile to see that the Palace is referred to as a "jewel" and "gem", because that is exactly what I said about it without realizing that's how locals see it. Though not large in stature, she's definitely large in style and class, isn't she?

A pelican busy prunning himself/herself on a cliff at La Jolla Shores in Southern California.
INFORMATION ON THE PELICAN:
A pelican is any of several very large water birds with a distinctive pouch under the beak belonging to the bird family Pelecanidae.
Along with the darters, cormorants, gannets, boobies, frigatebirds, and tropicbirds, pelicans make up the order Pelecaniformes. Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They occur mostly in warm regions, though breeding ranges reach 45° south (Australian Pelican, P. conspicillatus) and 60° North (American White Pelicans, P. erythrorhynchos, in western Canada). Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.
Pelicans are large birds with enormous, pouched bills. The smallest is the Brown Pelican (P. occidentalis), small individuals of which can be as little as 2.75 kg (6 lb), 106 cm (42 in) long and can have a wingspan of as little as 1.83 m (6 ft). The largest is believed to be the Dalmatian Pelican (P. crispus), at up to 15 kg (33 lb), 183 cm (72 in) long, with a maximum wingspan of nearly 3.5 m (11.5 ft). The Australian Pelican has the longest bill of any bird.
Pelicans swim well with their short, strong legs and their feet with all four toes webbed (as in all birds placed in the order Pelecaniformes). The tail is short and square, with 20 to 24 feathers. The wings are long and have the unusually large number of 30 to 35 secondary flight feathers. A layer of special fibers deep in the breast muscles can hold the wings rigidly horizontal for gliding and soaring. Thus they can exploit thermals to commute over 150 km (100 miles) to feeding areas.

False Creek, Vancouver BC
Taken during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. You can see the lights emitting from the Yaletown Live Celebration site in the distance. The mood was incredibly festive and you could hear the live concert from across the inlet. In the foreground you can see Granville Island which also host numerous Olympic related concerts and events.
