Coming up with a new leg design was the most problematic in terms of appearance and functionality. It seemed one would have to be sacrificed for the other. The trickiest part was finding a pivot/hinge piece that would connect to the minifig torso. I chose to use two 25893 pieces with two 6019 U-clip plates to comprise the hip joint.
This looks fairly clean but is not very flexible. I think this solution works well for standing minifigs, but not for anything else. For my purposes, this was fine but I'm still looking/waiting for other parts that might do the job better.

Michael was taking a much needed fag break and was happy to engage with the project. Originally from Barnsley, Michael is a musician and is trying to get a career started.
The background is, once again, problematic. However, having happened upon Michael during a break, it didn't feel fair then asking him to move elsewhere.
What I did do after a few shots, was ask him to look away from the camera. I want to break up my contribution a bit by not having all subjects looking straight down the lens.
If you are reading this Michael, many thanks for letting me take your portrait. Please get in touch if you want a copy or are not happy with the result and would prefer me to remove it from Flickr.

Communications in Burma is problematic. The telephones (landlines) often don't work, and we saw no mobile phones. The government severely restricts the use of the internet and video cameras. Television arrived in Burma in 1981.
Every year since the military seized power in 1962, Burma's economy has declined. Burma was once known as the rice bowl of Asia, but is now one of the poorest countries in the world.
As noted by the U.S. State Department: "The regime's mismanagement of the economy has created a downward economic spiral. The state remains heavily involved in most parts of the economy, infrastructure has deteriorated, and no rule of law exists. The majority of Burmese citizens subsist on an average annual income of less than $200 per capita. Inflation, caused primarily by public sector deficit spending and the eroding value of the local currency (the kyat), have reduced living standards. The Asian Development Bank estimated in December 2006 that inflation in Burma could reach 30% in 2006-2007, in contrast with official estimates of 10%. "
The hazard tree removal work focused on several problematic trees in the vicinity of Benson Bridge as part of a broader effort to remove trees burned or damaged during the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire. To protect recreational facilities and improve public safety, firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service cleared many of the trees that pose a potential risk of decaying and falling.

Close up of the problematic region. What the.... could this be.... ?
So, (again) not having a true macro lens, or a bellows, I whipped out my DIY bellows I made out of a rubber toilet plunger, taped my Super-Takumar 50mm/F3.5 to it, and after furious numbers of shots, got a few that I can use....
The Great Northern Railway planned to provide an alternative route to avoid quadrupling problematic sections of the mainline through Welwyn, whilst also providing a more direct route between Hertford and Kings Cross. Despite opening as far as Cuffley & Goffs Oak in 1910, the remainder of the line was not completed until after grouping in 1923.
The new station was provided in similar style to those at Grange Park and Enfield Chase, the latter more complex in design. The GNR had also provided similarly styled structures at the Kirkstead and Little Steeping line stations at Coningsby, Tumby Woodside, New Bolingbroke, Stickney and Midville as well as the more elaborate design at Letchworth all of which opened in 1913.

A very large church in a very small churchyard, which makes exterior photography problematic. Inside seven bayed arcades, and very spacious, but obviously too large for the needs of the village today - and maybe even when it was built. The north aisle is screened off, but by low panelled (early C19?) screens rather than what happens today. The east two-thirds of this aisle have become a sort of museum. Here today was the Royal Arms, dated 1775, and obviously at the end of a restoration. The fine late Perp five-light east window has long been blocked. The chancel occupies the east three bays - and here some C15 parclose screens, integral with the stalls which have returned stalls as well. Sadly several pieces of glass were missing from the tower's west window which further shows the strain it must be to keep this huge church in good repair.

This spring melt pond resides temporarily on a lush saddle a short walk down the Bright Trail from the trail head. It will be lucky to make it far into July but I think a walk across it in August might be problematic. For now, it's enough to sneak into the pond and shoot classic reflecting pond images. There are plenty of opportunities to work the waterlogged snags into a reflection study. I wanted to retain the detail in the deepest shadows so I shot the highlights at the edge of gamut. This effect punches the striking effect up. I used RAW contrast Control (on this and the other reflecting pond shots) to reimport the shadow detail from the file. Today, the process takes no effort at all. Compose and shoot but deciding when you have enough may be difficult. This is one of a series. Usually I only shoot a single shot of what I see but here I covered the pond with portraits and landscapes. I shot some I could grow fond of later. My favorites seem to change by mood and application for the photo.
The Bright Trail is a great hike for fit people. It descends into the North St.Vrain River Canyon although most who look over the edge would call it a chasm or "grand" canyon. Expect about a thousand feet down hill and about two thousand feet back up the same or other side. Some slopes in this canyon exceed 45 degrees. The Colorado Depart of Wildlife claims this is "Gold Medal fishing Waters." I have no idea why they would post limits on this stretch considering that most of the fish have never seen fishermen let alone hikers. This canyon is all but unknown even among the local residents. The road up to the Bright Trailhead is about a mile and 300 feet above from the parking so add this to your trek.

Newchurch is in the middle of a very narrow lane, which barely widens in the village, and so parking here is problematic. I managed to get a pace on the road, though I do think there is a small car park beside the church, but driving along the pavement didn't seem right to me.
All Saints sits on the edge of a cliff, and the road out of the village falls away beside it, making it a very dramatic location.
The tower, half clapboard and half soft sandy-coloured stone looks in poor repair. The clapboard, anyway. And entrance to the church is through the tower with the bellringing ropes hanging overhead.
Inside, it is a well kept church, some nice 19th century glass, a rose window in the west wall, but too high for me to get a good shot. The lectern is a fine golden Pelican in her Piety, one of the best I have seen, and hanging in the rood loft stairs, now leading nowhere, is a fine brass lamp.
As I left just before four, the church was locked, and my crawling for the day was done, so I repaired to the Pointer Inn next door for a fine pint of Hophead.
---------------------------------------------
The church celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1987 and is a fine example of a Norman Church with some remaining evidence of its pre-Norman origins.
It is one of only three English churches with an ancient sanctuary door still in place (Durham and Westminster are the other two). Over the South door there is the crest of William III (of Orange) dated 1700 with the face of the Lion Rampant being an image of King Willliam.
The Dillington Mortuary Chapel has a number tombs whose covering slabs have unusually well preserved and finely engraved crests and lettering
The following is extracted from the Quinquennial Report published in October 2011 by the Church Architect, Mr Ian G Smith.
Standing prominently at the north end of Newchurch village, All Saints Church is visible from many points in the central belt of the Island; being cruciform in plan, with a south porch and tower it dominates the Arreton Valley.
One of six Churches given by William FitzOsbern to Lyra Abbey in Normandy, it was given to the See of Bristol by Henry VIII; All Saints has throughout its life had many additions, in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries; the Victorian restoration of 1883, by AR Barker, remodelled part of the interior.
The original Church is still quite easily identifiable in the Nave, North and South Aisles, the crossing and the north wall of the Chancel, with the later extensions of the South Transept and the Chancel evident in the treatment of the windows which are wider and of three light style.
Constructed of random stone under a steeply pitched and tiled roof, the modest exterior is off set by the surprisingly grand interior; with a soaring timber-clad Nave roof, and massive stone columns with octagonal piers; with double chamfered arches progressing to the crossing and the Chancel.
The square tower over the stone rendered South Porch, being of timber weather-boarding (around 1800) is unusual on the Island, housing the six bell peal, four of which were founded in 1810, the other two are of 16th and 17th century vintage.
Major benefactors of the Church were the Dillington family who have laid 8 vaults in the north transept and also in the south transept; and of historical interest within the Church are the oak pulpit of 1725, the oak door from the Porch, the Pelican Lectern (l7thC), the wall tablets, the stained glass east window by Kempe (1909), the Creed and Commandments boards in cusped Gothic frames on the west wall; and the panel over the south door with the royal arms of William III, and dated 1700.

Physical characteristics
Chestnut-brown diving duck with long tail, often cocked vertically. Male has white head, black cap and blue bill, swollen at base. Female has pale face with dark cap and cheek-stripe and blackish, less swollen bill. Similar spp. Ruddy Duck O. jamaicensis is smaller with brighter chestnut plumage. Male has more extensive black cap and dark hindneck and female has narrower facial band and browner cap. Both sexes lack swollen base to bill. Hybrid identification can be very problematic. Voice Low rattling noise uttered during display. Otherwise generally silent.
Habitat
White-headed Ducks breed in shallow fresh or brackish marshes connected with larger wetland complexes. Such wetlands are often seasonal, created by spring floods and drained at summer, but they are especially productive, being very rich in aquatic vegetation and invertebrates. In winter, White-headed Ducks prefer large brackish or saline lakes.
Other details
The species is Palearctic, with a fragmented breeding distribution extending east from Spain and Morocco in western Europe to western China and western Mongolia, and north from Iran to southern Russia. Divisions between biogeographical populations are poorly understood (Scott & Rose 1996), but four major populations are thought to remain: a migratory central Asian population breeding mainly in northern Kazakhstan and southern Russia and wintering in western Asia, the Middle East and in eastern Europe as far west as Greece; a small and declining migratory east Asian population, wintering in Pakistan and perhaps originating from southern Russia and Mongolia; a population resident in Spain, the Spanish population has increased from 22 birds in 1977 to around 2,500 wintering birds today; and another resident in North Africa (Tunisia and north-east Algeria).
Most of the population is concentrated in only four countries (Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation, and Spain). The most important wintering countries differ from year-to-year, presumably depending on weather conditions. In recent years, ten countries have held over 1,000 birds (Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Greece, Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation, Spain, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. Seven countries hold significant numbers of White-headed Ducks throughout the year (Algeria, Islamic Republic of Iran, Russian Federation, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, and Uzbekistan). Since a few years the Spanish population is threatened by hybridisation with the Ruddy Duck, Oxyura jamaicensis, an introduced species from America. The other main threats are over hunting and habitat destrution.
Feeding
White-headed Ducks feed almost entirely by diving, mainly at night. Benthic Chironomid larvae are the major diet component at most sites, both for adults and ducklings, but polychaetes (especially in coastal lakes used as wintering sites), amphipods and a variety of other invertebrates are eaten, as well as seeds and vegetative parts of Potamogeton, Ruppia, Scirpus and many other aquatic plants. The availability of chironomid larvae is a key feature in habitat selection. Wintering birds on Caspian Sea contained snails Hydrobia, red seaweed Polysiphonia, and stonewort Chara, and seeds of Ruppia maritima. Females from central Kazakhstan, in July, contained seeds of Potamogeton and Najas, and waterboatmen Corixa and Micronecta. Young caught at same time had only insects.
Conservation
Despite uncertainty about the possible large-scale inter-year movement of birds between wintering sites, mid-winter counts indicate that the population of this species has undergone a very rapid decline of over 50% in the last 10 years, which qualifies it as Endangered. Given increases in the Spanish subpopulation, it is projected that the overall rate of decline will be lower in the next 10 years. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
The species forms monogamous pair bonds of seasonal duration. The nest is usually located over water in emergent vegetation. Females lay 4-9 eggs, more usually 5 or 6, at 1.5 day intervals, and may relay if the first clutch is removed. Relative to body mass, lays the largest egg of any waterfowl, and total clutch mass may approach 100% of a female's non-breeding body weight. Incubation begins from April to June in southern Europe, and up to a month later further north. Eggs hatch after 22-24 days in the wild. Only one brood is reared per year. Little information on hatching or nesting success. Brood size at hatching 3-7 ducklings, usually 5-6. The fledging period is 8-10 weeks, somewhat longer than most ducks. Females can breed first at one year old although the proportion doing so is unknown. It is one of the few water birds that moult twice a year, during breeding season and winter, being unable to fly during these periods.
Migration
Resident and dispersive in west Mediterranean. Mainly migratory in east Mediterranean and Asia. The western population is resident, numbering about 1,000 birds breeding mainly in Spain but also in Algeria and Tunisia. The eastern population is larger and migratory. White-headed Ducks breed mainly in Turkey, where the biggest eastern population is located (200-300 pairs), while fewer breed in Russia, Iran and occasionally in Romania.
Moult movements are poorly understood, but large flocks of moulting individuals gather on certain sites (e.g. the Sudochie wetlands in Uzbekistan, and Lake Tengiz in Kazakhstan). Departure from breeding localities begins in late August and is completed by mid-October. In Central Kazakhstan, largest numbers occur in September, but birds leave the region completely by mid-October. In Uzbekistan, major passage through the Amu Darya delta in October. In Pakistan, birds first appear in October and leave by the end of March. It is currently unknown whether there is interchange between the Spanish and North African populations. However, the recent increase in the number of White-headed Ducks in Morocco suggests that interchange does occur. Emigration of birds from Algeria or Tunisia was suggested as a possible explanation for the peak count of 4,489 birds in Spain in September 2002. However, as over 1,000 ducklings were hatched at El Hondo that year, it seems equally likely that these numbers could be explained by a bumper breeding year.

Another casualty of the recent storms, this Siberian Chiffchaff (to be confirmed) has turned up on my doorstep.
Establishing the status in Britain of 'Siberian Chiffchaff' Phylloscopus (collybita) tristis has long been problematic. Key to this problem is the correct identification of the form - the difficulties of separating true Siberian tristis (largely from east of the Yenisey) and 'fulvescens' (on the West Siberian Plain) from abietinus (from Scandinavia and western Russia west of the Urals) continue to plague both observers and records committees. In particular, it has become obvious that different observers (and indeed different records committees) hold different perceptions of what constitutes true tristis and therefore apply different threshold criteria for acceptance into the local record. The recording of this form across Britain can therefore best be described as uneven and has never been attempted nationally. As a consequence, our knowledge of the true British status of tristis is incomplete and we do not yet know definitively whether tristis can best be described as 'scarce but regular' or 'rare but regular'.
Context
Fortunately, three factors have now combined to help us move forward. Firstly, the work of Dean and Svensson has provided welcome clarifications over the identification of this form (British Birds 98: 396-410). Secondly, the rise of digital photography has greatly increased the availability of good-quality images of birds in the field. Similar improvements in sound-recording technology have also made recording birds increasingly feasible. Thirdly, BBRC has now moved to free up its resources to focus on the recording of subtle or rare bird forms not previously assessed. With these three developments now in place, we have the opportunity to make progress with the Siberian Chiffchaff issue.
Identification
Observers and records committees may find it useful to have a brief summary of the conclusions of Dean and Svensson. The traditional view that any Chiffchaff lacking green in the crown and mantle and lacking yellow in the face and underparts can be labelled tristis has now been refined. Dean and Svensson have confirmed that true tristis is defined additionally by the presence of pale brown or grey-brown hues above and the presence of warm buff in the supercilium, ear-coverts, breast-sides and flanks. 'Fulvescens' is similar in appearance though may be a little paler overall and may show very limited yellow and olive hues. This clarification has in turn highlighted the problem of 'grey and white' Chiffchaffs. Such birds are not all consistent in appearance nor attributable to a single 'type' but some individuals, at least, match aspects of the traditional image of tristis. However, when they also lack the pale grey-brown and buff hues now firmly linked with the form, they cannot be assigned to it. The origins of such individuals remain unclear but may include eastern abietinus and intergrades between abietinus and tristis. In summary, the identification of tristis rests on the following criteria:
Absence of olive in the crown and mantle
Absence of yellow away from the underwing
Presence of a grey-brown or pale brown hue in the upperparts
Presence of warm buff in the supercilium and ear-coverts
Presence of buff at the breast-sides/flanks
Very black-looking bill and legs
A thin, piping near-monosyllabic Bullfinch-like or Dunnock-like call
A song markedly different from western Chiffchaff's
The weather at Roa Island was problematic to say the least. Squally rain blowing sideways over the 8.94 metre high tide. I left the car ticking over with the heater blasting the passenger footwell to dry the EOS and camcorders inbetwen ship! in May!
The white mold fungus (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) can be a very serious and problematic disease of soybeans. This fungus has a wide host range including: alfalfa, beans, canola, clover, peppermint, potato, sunflower and tomato. White mold can also attack certain weeds like amaranth, castor beans, dandelions, lambsquarter, ragweed and velvetleaf. In total there are about 400 different plant species that are susceptible to this disease.

the macbook has been problematical recently and i noticed that it was getting hotter than i was happy with, and it too, apparently. so i had a quick google and found a couple of helpful vids on how to open up the macbook. i tried it once before by removing the visible screws on the outside of the unit but i could never open it. turns out there's loads more little screws inside the device that need removing before you can actually open it. anyway, one of the two vids i watched was a how to repalce the fan in a model of a macbook similar to mine. so i followed the instructions and found that the fan andin particular the cooling vanes were covered in dust and fluff. so i removed the fan and carefully cleaned it all out and reassembled it. and so far, as i type this, the macbook has been on and running for over an hour and it is still fairly cool. so all is well, it seems.
i spoke to a chap at the apple dealers in Leeds (KCRS) and the chap i spoke to was impressed that a nearly six year old macbook was still functioning. typical.

Have you seen the ruined church I was asked when I returned to the farm. She explained where it was, so once I have eaten and packed, I set off to find the ruin.
Parking proved to be problematic, indeed I think the local farmer thought I was being deliberately awkward as he tried to get past me.
Oh well.
The church is well ruined, with the tower almost covered in ivy, but the churchyard is still in use, apparently.
--------------------------------------------------------
The new church of St George is up in the centre of the village; but this ruin down on the bottom road is all that is left of a large medieval parish church. Ladbrooke's drawing (right) shows the great height of the tower, and a massive bell window to the east.
This window may well have been the building's undoing, because at half past three on a warm, still afternoon that side of the tower came crashing down into the nave. Someone was inside at the time, apparently; he survived, but it must have set his pulse racing, and given him a story to tell his grandchildren.
The chancel survived, and was used until a temporary church was built up in the village. Soon after the new St George opened in 1932, the chancel here was demolished as dangerous, leaving only the incongruous 19th century vestry. It must have been an interesting church if Ladbrooke's drawing and the surviving fittings now reset at the new church are anything to go by.
The tower is entirely covered with ivy, and the two surviving corners protruding at the top make it reminscent of Jeff Koon's installation sculture Puppy - indeed, it is about the same height. Whether the ivy will eventually bring the whole structure down, or if it is actually what is holding it up, I do not know, but it is dramatic and pleasing. The graveyard is still in use.

The Sulamani temple dates from the late 12th century and features fairly well preserved colour frescoes and painted writing on the walls. Dating the writing is problematic as several styles appear and some may have been added much later than the original work.
A close friend of mine and I share a problematic and undying love for writer David Foster Wallace's work. One day she told me that she was going to write a review of Infinite Jest for her school paper and asked me to come up with an illustration of it.. too bad she gave up doing in. The drawing stayed unfinished as well, and I think of it as a preparatory sketch. A work about that novel should be far more a complex illustration that this one is.
This beautiful painting is one of the most problematical pictures in the history of art and a constant subject of debate. The identity of the painter is still in question and, while the majority of experts ascribe it to Giorgione, there are a number of scholars who believe it was painted by Giovanni Cariani (an artist much influenced by Giorgione) or by some other Venetian painter active around 1510. Any decision is rendered more difficult by the fact that the painting has come down to us in a very bad condition: the window-opening on the left and the landscape in the background, for example, are so faded that they are scarcely visible to the naked eye. X-ray photographs reveal alterations to both the eyes and the hands, made while the picture was being painted, similar to modifications in other paintings by Giorgione. Certainly there are several features - the extraordinarily fine painterly approach, the intimacy of the expression, the inclusion of the parapet and the window-opening - which support the belief that Portrait of a Man was painted by Giorgione himself, possibly not long before his death in 1510.
Dharamshala (also Dharamsala) is a city and a municipal council in Kangra district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is the district headquarters. It was formerly known as Bhagsu. The Dalai Lama's residence in McLeodGanj and the headquarters of Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan government in exile) are in Dharamshala. Dharamshala is 18 kilometres from Kangra.
DESCRIPTION
Dharamshala is a city in the upper reaches of the Kangra Valley and is surrounded by dense coniferous forest consisting mainly of stately Deodar cedar trees. The suburbs include McLeodGanj, Bhagsunath, Dharamkot, Naddi, ForsythGanj, Kotwali Bazaar (the main market), Kaccheri Adda (government offices such as the court, police, post, etc.), Dari, Ramnagar, Sidhpur, and Sidhbari (where the Karmapa is based).
The village of McLeodGanj, lying in the upper reaches, is known worldwide for the presence of the Dalai Lama. On 29 April 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso) established the Tibetan exile administration in the north Indian hill station of Mussoorie. In May 1960, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) was moved to Dharamshala.
Dharamshala is the centre of the Tibetan exile world in India. Following the 1959 Tibetan uprising there was an influx of Tibetan refugees who followed the 14th Dalai Lama. His presence and the Tibetan population has made Dharamshala a popular destination for Indian and foreign tourists, including students studying Tibet.
One of the main attractions of Dharamshala is Triund hill. Jewel of Dharamshala, Triund is one day trek at the upper reaches of McLeodGanj, about 9 km from McLeodGanj.
ETYMOLOGY
Dharamshala (Devanagari: धर्मशाला; ITRANS: Dharmashaalaa; IAST: Dharmaśālā) is a Hindi word (derived from Sanskrit) that is a compound of dharma (धर्म) and shālā (शाला). A loose translation into English would be 'spiritual dwelling' or, more loosely, 'sanctuary'. Rendering a precise literal translation into English is problematic due to the vast and conceptually rich semantic field of the word dharma[1] and the cultural aspect of India.
In common Hindi usage, the word dharamshala refers to a shelter or rest house for spiritual pilgrims. Traditionally, such dharamshalas (pilgrims' rest houses) were commonly constructed near pilgrimage destinations (often in remote areas) to give visitors a place to sleep for the night. When the first permanent settlement was created in the place now called Dharamshala, there was one such pilgrims' rest house on the site, and the settlement took its name from that dharamshala.
HISTORY
BEFORE THE RAJ
From the earliest times until the British Raj, Dharamshala and its surrounding area was ruled by the Katoch Dynasty of Kangra. The Katoch Dynasty is said to be the oldest serving Royal Family in the world. The Royal Family still keeps a residence in Dharamshala, known as 'Clouds End Villa'.
The indigenous people of the Dharamshala area (and the surrounding region) are the Gaddis, a predominantly Hindu group who traditionally lived a nomadic or semi-nomadic (transhumant) lifestyle. Due to the lack of permanent settlements in the area, some Gaddis lost their seasonal pastures and farmland when the British and the Gurkhas arrived to settle.
In 1848, the area now known as Dharamshala was annexed by the British.
"Dharamsāla lies on a spur of the Dhaola Dhār, 16 miles north-east of Kāngra, in the midst of wild and picturesque scenery. It originally formed a subsidiary cantonment for the troops stationed at Kāngra, and was first occupied as a station in 1849, when a site was required for a cantonment to accommodate a Native regiment which was being raised in the District. A site was found upon the slopes of the Dhaola Dhār, in a plot of waste land, upon which stood an old Hindu resthouse, or dharmsāla, whence the name adopted for the new cantonment. The civil authorities, following the example of the regimental officers, and attracted by the advantages of climate and scenery, built themselves houses in the neighbourhood of the cantonment; and in 1855 the new station was formally recognised as the head-quarters of the [Kāngra] District."
In 1860, the 66th Gurkha Light Infantry was moved from Kangra, Himachal Pradesh to Dharamshala, which was at first made a subsidiary cantonment. An ideal position for the new base was found on the slopes of the Dhauladhar Hills, near the site of a Hindu sanctuary, or Dharamshala, hence the name of the town. The Battalion was later renamed the historic 1st Gurkha Rifles, this was the beginning of the legend of the Gurkhas, also known as the 'Bravest of the Brave'. Consequently, fourteen Gurkha platoon villages grew from this settlement, and exist to this day, namely Dari, Ramnagar, Shyamnagar, Dal, Totarani, Khanyara, Sadher, Chaandmaari, Sallagarhi, Sidhbari, Yol, and so on. The Gurkhas worshipped at the ancient Shiva temple of Bhagsunag. The Gurkhas referred to Dharamshala as 'Bhagsu' and referred to themselves as Bhagsuwalas.
The 21st Gurkha Regiment from Dharamshala performed heroic feats during World War I and the North West Frontier Province campaigns. The Gurkha cantonment then reached its zenith during World War II, when battalions from Dharamshala made history. Many place names in the town still retain their former cantonment terminologies: Depot Bazaar, Pensioners' Lines, Tirah Lines (named after the 19th century Tirah Campaign), Bharatpore Lines (named after the 1826 Battle of Bharatpore).
The second Lord Elgin, Viceroy of India died here (at the 1st Gurkha Rifles Officers' Mess) in 1863 and is buried in the cemetery of St. John in the Wilderness, a small Anglican church distinguished by its stained-glass windows. Dharamshala became a popular hill station for the British working in or near Delhi, offering a cool respite during the hot summer months.
"Before the earthquake of 1905, the upper part of the station, which rises to a height of 2,168 metres, contained the European houses, the station church, and the officers' mess and lines of the 1st Gurkhas, together with the public gardens, post office, and two bazars, the Forsythganj and McLeodganj. The public offices, a bazar, and a few European houses made up the lower station, as low as 1,372 metres. The 1st battalion of the 1st Gurkhas used to be stationed here, but was moved to the upper station in 1894-5.... The public gardens, which were, before the earthquake, laid out with much taste in lawns and terraces, contained a valuable collection of indigenous and imported trees and shrubs, and were overlooked by the Assembly Rooms, a handsome building comprising a public hall, a library and reading-room and a billiard-room. The church was beautifully situated in a recess of the mountain."
In 1905, the Kangra valley suffered a major earthquake. On April 4 of that year, the earth shook, demolishing much of the cantonment and the neighbouring city of Kangra, Himachal Pradesh as well as the Bhagsunag temple. Altogether, the 1905 Kangra earthquake killed 20,000 people. "1,625 persons perished at Dharamsāla alone, including 15 Europeans and 112 of the Gurkha garrison."."
The Gurkhas rebuilt the town along with the temple, which today is acknowledged as the 1st Gurkha Rifles' heritage. The British had planned to make Dharamshala the summer capital of India, but moved to Shimla after the disaster.
Not only did the Gurkhas of Dharmshala make a major contribution to India's defence, many were freedom fighters for the Indian National Army, which had been founded by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. The Indian National Army Captain Ram Singh Thakur, a Gurkha from the village of Khanyara, composed some of India's most popular and stirring patriotic songs, including "Kadam Kadam Badaye Ja". He is acknowledged so by the Netaji Research Bureau, Kolkata. The important contribution of the noted Gurkha social commentator, the late Master Mitrasen Thapa, from the village of Totarani, has been acknowledged by the Himachal Pradesh government. Recently, a park dedicated to the memory of the late Brigadier Sher Jung Thapa, MVC, the 'Hero of Skardu', has been opened alongside the road between Lower and Upper Dharamshala.
ESTABLISHMENT OF TIBETAN EXILE COMMUNITY
The Tibetan settlement of Dharamshala began in 1959, when His Holiness the Dalai Lama had to flee Tibet and the Prime Minister of India allowed him and his followers to settle in McLeodGanj (in Upper Dharmshala), a former colonial British summer picnic spot. There they established the "government-in-exile" in 1960. Dharamshala had been connected with Hinduism and Buddhism for a long time, many monasteries having been established there in the past, by Tibetan immigrants in the 19th century.In 1970, The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, opened the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives which houses over 80,000 manuscripts and other important resources related to Tibetan history, politics and culture. It is considered one of the most important institutions for Tibetology in the world, the new director is Geshe Lahkdor, the old translator of H.H. the Dalai Lama.
Several thousand Tibetan exiles have now settled in the area, and most live in and around McLeodGanj in Upper Dharamshala, where they have built monasteries, temples and schools. McLeodGanj is sometimes known as 'Little Lhasa", after the Tibetan capital city, or 'Dhasa' (a compound of 'Dharamshala' and 'Lhasa'). It has become an important tourist destination with many hotels and restaurants, leading to growth in tourism and commerce.
Dharamshala is the winter capital of Himachal Pradesh. The Legislative Assembly is at Sidhbari, near the Chinmaya Tapovan Ashram, and the winter sessions of the Government are held there.
GEOGRAPHY
Dharamshala has an average elevation of 1457 metres, covering an area of almost 8.51 km².
Dharamsala is located in the Kangra Valley, in the shadow of the Dhauladhar mountains.
The city is divided into two distinct sections. Kotwali Bazaar and the surrounding markets are referred to as "Lower Dharamshala" or just "Dharamshala." Further up the mountain is McLeodGanj separated in between by the village of Ganchen Kyishong, the home of the Tibetan government-in-exile. A steep, narrow road connects McLeodGanj from Dharamshala and is only accessible to taxis and small cars, while a longer road winds around the valley for use by buses and trucks. McLeodGanj is surrounded by pine, Himalayan oak, and rhododendron.
The main crops grown in the valleys below are rice, wheat and tea.
CONNECTIONS
Dharamshala town is reached by Gaggal Airport, (IATA: DHM, ICAO: VIGG), about 15 km to the town's south and about 10 km north of Kangra, Himachal Pradesh town. To reach Dharamshala by train, one has to reach Kangra, Himachal Pradesh town by Kangra Valley Railway line from Pathankot 94 km away and then take a bus or a taxi.
Pathankot is a broad gauge railway head. There is another railway line from Pathankot to Jogindernagar, a part of the Mandi District of Himachal Pradesh, which is a narrow-gauge line. The nearest station to Dharamshala on this line is Chamunda Marg, half an hour away, where a Shaktipitha is; the town is well connected by road to other parts of the country.
Buses of all classes (deluxe, air-conditioned, and regular) drive daily between Dharamshala and major cities such as Chandigarh, Delhi, and Shimla. Several buses each night connect McLeodGanj with Majnu Ka Tila, the Tibetan settlement in Delhi.
CLIMATE
Dharamshala has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate (Cwa). Summer starts in early April, peaks in early June (when temperatures can reach 36 °C) and last till mid-June. From July to mid-September is the monsoon season when up to 3000 mm of rainfall can be experienced, making Dharamshala one of the wettest places in the state. Autumn is mild and lasts from October to the end of November.
Autumn temperatures average around 16–17 °C. Winter starts in December and continues until late February. Snow and sleet are common during the winter in upper Dharamshala (including McLeodganj, Bhagsu Nag and Naddi). Lower Dharamshala receives little solid precipitation except hail. The snowfall of January 7, 2012 was an exception. It was caused by deep low pressure entering the Kangra district. Winter is followed by a short, pleasant spring until April. Historically, the Dhauladhar mountains used to remain snow-covered all year long, however, in recent years they have been losing their snow blanket during dry spells.
The best times to visit are the autumn and spring months.
TREKKING
Dharamshala is a starting point to a number of trekking trails that especially lead trekkers across Dhauladhar into the upper Ravi Valley and Chamba district. En route, you cross through forests of deodar, pine, oak and rhododendron, and pass streams and rivers and wind along vertiginous cliff tracks, and the occasional lake waterfall and glacier.
A 2-km amble takes one to Bhagsu, and then a further 3-km walk will lead the trekkers to Dharamkot. If one wishes to go on a longer walk then he/she can trek 8-km to Triund. The snow line of Ilaqa Got is just a 5-km walk.
Other trekking trails that lead you to Chamba from Dharamshala are:
Toral Pass (4575m) which begins from Tang Narwana (1150m) that is nearly 10 km from Dharamshala
Across Bhimghasutri Pass (4580m) via near-vertical rocky ascents, steep cliffs and dangerous gorges. This is a highly difficult level trek and takes around six days to complete.
Dharamshala - Bleni Pass (3710m) – Dunali. Compared to other trekking trails, this one is much easier and takes around four or five-days to complete. The trek leads you through alpine pastures, woods, and streams, before ending at Dunali, on the Chamba road.
Dharamshala is an ideal destination for rock climbing enthusiasts. One can go rock climbing over the ridges of the Dhauladhar range.
Kareri Lake (near Kareri Village) is also a famous trekking destination for travellers.

Wikipedia claims it's "free," but acknowledges it co$t$ to maintain an online presence, yet thus far continues to reject valid revenue-producing offers, and instead relies upon begging for donations to stay afloat.
While that appears admirable, it's simultaneously problematic.
Add to the mix their "anyone can edit" conundrum, and it is quickly and readily seen why and how not just anyone should edit. Syntax errors, grammatical faux pas, linguistic gaffes are among other numerous problems - including consistency and standardization of formatting & layout. It's easy to understand why, that merely because someone can screw up a thing, doesn't mean they should.
And yet those problems are exclusively within the purview of grammatical organization, and have nothing to do with the veracity or truth of a thing - which is the ostensible purpose of an encyclopedia. One turns to such a resource as a standard, one which is not exclusively verifiable - which Wikipedia's perspective is that, it seeks to answers the question "is it found on the Internet?" - but which is truthful, accurate and not subject to the whims of ever-changing "editors" whom may "edit" willy-nilly until there is no recognizable semblance of coherence.
Consider also the highly problematic area of current events, such as the recent tragedy of the Costa Concordia. Though i have not examined Wikipedia, it would not surprise me to find an article on the ship and the wreck. And doubtless, were anyone to examine the edit record of the same, would probably find hundreds - if not thousands - of edits within a very short period of time, perhaps even within an hour. There is utterly no way to hold accountable, accurate or reliable any such thing, neither the hoardes of people whom would edit simultaneously, or shortly thereafter.
To illustrate the case for Wikipedia's lack of veracity, if it could be verified that Robert Goddard ever said "the moon is made of green cheese," aside from any information on the subject of the consistency or composition of the lunar surface or it's core, it could be said that it is "true" that the moon is made of green cheese, merely because it can be found where one so claimed. The veracity of such claims are neither of concern nor consequence to Wikipedia. Their solitary concern is to answer the question "can it be verified by finding it on the Internet?"
Any reasonable person would readily acknowledge that the Internet contains an abundance of bovine fecal matter - more commonly known as "bullshit." Simply because "it's on the Internet" doesn't make it true.
Butchers aren't cardiologists, right? Yet they both wield knives & cut flesh. But would you want the butcher to perform your angioplasty? Probably not. So why would you want an utter ninny to edit an encyclopedia?

Ignition cylinder problems are problematic and exasperating to deal with when they do come up. It’s frightening when problems arise with your vehicle. You will likely stress out about the cost to fix said problem. Will it cost you a fortune? Can it be fixed fast? Well, when it comes to ignition cylinder problems, you can expect the price to be reasonable – that is, if you turn to a locksmith for help. Over time, ignition lock cylinders can wind up needing repair or replacement. There are a few reasons for this and a few ways to identify potential problems.
So, why do problems come up with ignition cylinders?
An ignition cylinder can suffer excessive use and wear and tear, which can lead to problems. Irrespective of how the issue inopportunely happened, if there is an issue with your ignition cylinder, you must fix it so it doesn’t worsen. If you are having ignition cylinder difficulties or other complications, we hope that the information we provide will be helpful for you.
The first step is to decide whether or not the ignition cylinder needs to be repaired or replaced. You might initially think you are dealing with an issue with the ignition cylinder, but the problem could be something that has nothing to do with this. It’s best to be able to point to the fact that the problem is the ignition cylinder and not something else. This way, you can know if this component of your vehicle needs to be replaced or fixed.
So how can you know that the problem is in fact with the ignition cylinder? Consider these scenarios…
The Car Stalls or Won’t Start
What happens when you turn the key to your vehicle? Does the car start? If it does, great. But if it doesn’t, then you might have an issue with the ignition cylinder. First, figure out if the battery is the issue.
When you try to start the car, does the key get stuck in the ignition? Or does it not go in smoothly to begin with? Again, this could be the result of the ignition cylinder needing replacement. Reliable Chamblee Locksmith in Chamblee, GA is the place to call for a problem like this because you get quality service and great deals. We will inspect your ignition cylinder to see what is wrong. You can trust us with any make or model vehicle, too.
Dashboard Lights Flicker
Are flickering dashboard lights the concern you have noticed? If you have somehow figured out that an electrical issue with your car is not what is occurring, then it could be an ignition cylinder problem. A locksmith can help with this, just make sure to hire someone insured and licensed, like us.
Steering Wheel Problem
There could also be a problem with the car’s steering wheel and ignition. Try this – turn the steering wheel and shut off the ignition. When you shut off the ignition and turn the steering wheel, what happens next? Does the steering wheel get stuck? If so, you are going to be stuck because the ignition won’t turn over. This can be fairly simple to resolve. All you have to do is gently turn the steering wheel to the right side. Then, turn it to the left. Do this a couple times while gently pulling on the key. It should release. This might seem obvious, but in a state of panic, you could fail to do it.
Look for Debris Clogging the Ignition Cylinder
Blockage or debris, or some other form of a clog can occur in the ignition cylinder. Just a little bit of debris can lead to damage! Look inside and notice any dirt, debris or anything else, which could be leading to the key tumbler getting stuck. What are you supposed to do to fix this? Can you fix it on your own? Yes, in a word. Simply blow air or employ pressurized air. This might do the trick.
Call a Locksmith!
When in doubt, always call a locksmith specializing in automotive services. If the problem with your ignition cylinder has not been solved after trying these steps, or if you realize that the concern at hand is something you don’t feel confident working on, it’s best to call in a professional who you know you can count on. Here’s the good news – you should not have a problem coming across a professional who offers affordable automotive security services. At least, you will find good deals if you turn to a trusted locksmith. Ensure the locksmith you are hiring has insurance and is licensed, because you don’t want them to damage any part of your vehicle while working on it. Make sure they can work with any make or model. A locksmith should have confidence whether you drive a Mazda, Lexus, BMW, Audi, Dodge, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Ford, Mitsubishi, or Toyota. Even better, many locksmiths are proud to offer 24/7 emergency services so customers never have to wait when issues arise without any warning at all. If you happen to be in Chamblee, GA, turn to us for help.
Ignition cylinder problems are tricky and exasperating to deal with when they do come up. It’s alarming when problems arise with your vehicle, no matter how big or small they happen to be. You will likely stress out about the cost to fix said problem. But if you have us on your side, you don’t need to sweat it. We hope you now know what to do with ignition cylinder problems!
We have gone over some relatively easy ways to distinguish whether you do or do not have an ignition cylinder that needs replacement or fixing.

The white mold fungus (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) can be a very serious and problematic disease of soybeans. This fungus has a wide host range including: alfalfa, beans, canola, clover, peppermint, potato, sunflower and tomato. White mold can also attack certain weeds like amaranth, castor beans, dandelions, lambsquarter, ragweed and velvetleaf. In total there are about 400 different plant species that are susceptible to this disease.

The Great Northern Railway planned to provide an alternative route to avoid quadrupling problematic sections of the mainline through Welwyn, whilst also providing a more direct route between Hertford and Kings Cross. Despite opening as far as Cuffley & Goffs Oak in 1910, the remainder of the line was not completed until after grouping in 1923.
Whereas the Grange Park, Enfield and Gordon Hill were provided with brick stations, the northernmost two stations were provided with identical, basic, corrugated metal booking halls. Both were located on embankments. It remains unclear why Crews Hill and Cuffley & Goffs Oak Stations were provided with such basic facilities especially in comparison with the rural Lincolnshire location of the Kirkstead and Little Steeping Railway stations at Coningsby, Tumby Woodside, New Bolingbroke, Stickney and Midville which opened in 1913 with substantial brick booking halls similar to the Enfield extension and Letchworth stations of the same period,
Crews Hill was the last of the pair to retain its booking hall building but this has now gone and the entrance canopy shortened accordingly.

Edgar Waite contributed over a thousand items to the Foreign Ethnology collections in 1918 when he travelled to New Guinea on the Museum's first Pacific expedition and collected natural history and ethnographic specimens totalling six shipping tonnes, mostly from New Ireland. Almost half the ethnographic material was bought from other collectors in New Guinea, thus achieving representation from a much wider geographical area than he himself visited.
