I've been lazy about posting this. A few months ago I was approached by Deathmobile - a Pittsburgh area based band about using two photos I took at one of their performances in the packaging of their CD release.
This is the result of that!
Deathmobile rocks, I highly recommend you to check out the CD!
You can find links to Deathmobile and the CD from the It's Alive Show web site - www.theitsaliveshow.com/ The It's Alive Show is a Pittsburgh area based show hosted by several members of Dealthmobile which shows old horror movies.

The driving wheels and valve gear of locomotive 3801. Photograph: David Moore. Railways, Relics and Romance: The Eveleigh Railway Workshops published by Caroline Simpson 1996
3801 (pronounced Thirty-eight o-one) is a 4-6-2 steam locomotive operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1974. It is arguably Australia's most famous steam locomotive, being the only one to have visited all mainland states and territories.
Construction:
3801 was built in 1943 by Clyde Engineering as the first of 30 C38 class locomotives built to haul express trains. The first five were built by Clyde Engineering to a streamlined design, whilst the 25 post-war locomotives in the class were built by the NSWGR themselves at Eveleigh and Cardiff Locomotive Workshops and were unstreamlined.
The 38 class were first conceived in 1938. They suffered many delays during construction due to material shortages caused by World War II. 3801 was the first engine completed late 1942 and entered service on 22 January 1943 to little fanfare. It became known at the time as the Grey Nurse due to its drab, all grey colour scheme, a wartime camouflage scheme.
In service
On 25 February 1943, 3801 worked the Newcastle Flyer for the first time. When joined by 3802 in April 1943, these engines were allotted to working the Melbourne Limited expresses between Sydney and Goulburn. In early 1947, 3801 was given a heavy overhaul and was painted in its standard colour scheme of green with yellow lining. A Waratah emblem was added to the top of the nose cone in later years.
In 1955, 3801 was overhauled again, being painted black with red lining as a cost-cutting measure. It was around this time that diesel locomotives started appearing on the rails of NSW. These would take the "glamour workings" away from the 38 class, the intention being to replace steam with diesel power, and to confine even modern steam to all-stations passenger and even goods trains. This intention was not realised until the end of steam on the NSWGR in 1972, as the available diesels were unable to match the speed performance of the 38s. In December 1956, 3801 was the first in its class to accrue 1 million miles (1.61 million kilometres).
In early 1963, 3801 was given a major overhaul during which it was repainted green. It was often used on special services operated by railway heritage organisations, the most famous being a non-stop run from Sydney to Newcastle on 28 June 1964. Just failing to break the two-hour barrier, this remained the fastest journey from Sydney to Newcastle by rail (2 hours 1 minute 51 seconds) until bettered by an XPT in 1988. On the return journey 3801 again fell just short of the two-hour mark.
In October 1965, the locomotive was found to have serious boiler problems, so was withdrawn and placed in the care of the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum. The museum contributed $18,000 to return 3801 to service and the boiler from 3819 was fitted. In October 1966, 3801 returned to service. However, the following year boiler problems re-emerged and the locomotive was withdrawn. Another boiler exam gave the locomotive a reprieve and allowed it to return to service. During this time, it operated a train celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Newcastle Flyer on 31 May 1969, as well as the Western Endeavour special across the continent to Perth between 22 August and 12 September 1970. In October 1972, 3801 worked to South Australia with 3642 as part of celebrations to open the Whyalla line. In April 1973 it ran to Melbourne with 3820.
In 1974, the Public Transport Commission barred all steam trains from New South Wales main lines, however during June and July of that year 3801 was allowed back to be used as the star of the award-winning film A Steam Train Passes.
Preservation:
3801 returned to service on 6 January 1975, operating services on the Bankstown line to help raise money for survivors of Cyclone Tracy. After this, 3801 was deeded to the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum. In June 1975, it hauled 5711 and 1905 from Enfield Locomotive Depot to Thirlmere when the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum relocated. The engine was then used on tours until December 1976, when boiler problems led to its withdrawal.
In November 1982, chief executive of the State Rail Authority, David Hill, enquired about the suitability of restoring 3801. Hill had the 1988 Bicentenary of British settlement in Australia in mind and saw a restored 3801 as a representative of Australia's railways. The boiler was the major item needing repair and an investigation needed to be carried out to ascertain if restoration was viable. A visit was made to the South Maitland Railways (who at the time still used steam engines) to learn about modern boiler techniques. It was discovered that many advances had been made and it was possible to return boilers to service which previously would have been scrapped. The next step was to examine the boilers of the other preserved 38 class members – 3820 and 3830 (though 3813 had survived, it was completely stripped and in two different locations) – and compare them with 3801's boiler. It was decided to use the boiler already in 3801, however, the inner firebox had suffered thermal fractures and would need extensive repairs. Restoration was deemed possible, and a fund-raising appeal began.
With some finance raised and the formation of a separate company to oversee the restoration and operation (3801 Limited, now East Coast Heritage Rail), 3801 was taken to the State Dockyard in Newcastle on 20 November 1983 for restoration by the Hunter Valley Training Company – an apprenticeship scheme later involved in the restoration of 3830. This was due to the railway's workshops being stretched by regular work. It was marshalled behind 8111 on an excursion train from Sydney.
The firebox was to be completely replaced, however, the dies and jigs used to press the boiler metal had been scrapped, so the old firebox was used as a template. The new firebox had a different shape, and this reduced the boiler pressure from 245 psi to 215 psi. It was decided to weld the new firebox and some conservative engineers were sceptical as to whether this would work. Repairs and reconditioning of many other components were also carried out. The tender tank was so rusted, it needed to be replaced. The new tank was welded rather than riveted and this resulted in a sleek, plain tender. On 8 November 1986, a fire was lit for the first time. By 10 November 3801 was running around nearby sidings. More short trials followed and on 15 November 3801 was handed over and hauled a train to Maitland. More trial runs followed and on 29 November 1986, 3801 headed from Newcastle to a grand ball on the concourse of Sydney Central station.
After restoration, 3801 operated heritage trains throughout New South Wales. It was operated by 3801 Limited under a 20-year lease. During the Australian Bicentenary celebrations in 1988, it operated an extensive program across Australia visiting every mainland capital accessible by rail including another trip to Perth in April/May 1988.[20] It also took part in events with the Flying Scotsman.
On 6 May 1990, 3801 was involved in the Cowan rail disaster. 3801 was struggling to climb the Cowan Bank (on the Sydney side of the Hawkesbury River) when returning from the Morpeth Jazz Festival when a CityRail Interurban passenger service crashed into the back of 3801's train. Six people lost their lives, including the driver of the intercity electric, and a passenger in the V set's cab. 3801 applied sand to the track to assist grip and an investigation into the crash suggested this may have caused the signals to malfunction. The signals changed from red to green several times. After the signals were green for a few moments, the interurban driver then entered the tunnel behind 3801 where the accident occurred. The handbrake in one of the carriages may also have been applied.
In 1992, 3801 visited Alice Springs for the first time, using the standard gauge track laid in 1980. The locomotive was awarded an Historic Engineering Marker plaque by Engineers Australia on 6 November 1994, the ceremony taking place at Robertson. 3801 was a regular at the Hunter Valley Steamfest.
Despite a campaign by 3801 Limited to retain custodianship of the locomotive, on 26 November 2006 the custodianship passed back to the New South Wales Rail Transport Museum. The locomotive continued to haul day trips and longer excursions until withdrawn from service for a major overhaul at the end of 2007.
2008–2020 overhaul
When 3801 was withdrawn in 2007, it was decided to replace the original boiler with a new welded one as well as conducting various mechanical repairs.This was timetabled to be complete by the end of 2010. The contract for the construction of the new boiler was let to Dampflokwerk Meiningen in Germany, while the tender tank was transferred to the Hunter Valley Training Company at Maitland for repair.
In 2010, the new boiler arrived in Australia. Trial fitting of the boiler revealed a number of dimensional, manufacturing and technical issues which made it unsuitable for use. The boiler was subsequently returned to Germany in 2011.
The 3801 website features updates on the locomotive's progress issued by the NSW Office of Rail Heritage, with archived updates available separately.
In May 2013, Transport Minister Gladys Berejiklian acknowledged the importance of 3801 saying it would be a priority of the new not-for-profit company Transport Heritage NSW to return 3801 to service.
In November 2014, Transport for NSW announced that the German built boiler would be brought back to Australia so that local experts can get the locomotive back on the tracks. In September 2015, Transport Heritage NSW announced that 3801 would return to service in 2017 with the old boiler to be reconditioned by the Goulburn firm Ainsworth Engineering.
In July 2019, the boiler upgrades were completed and the boiler was mounted to the frame.[34] In September 2019, the locomotive passed its first steam test. As a result of the firebox upgrades the boiler pressure was increased to the original 245 psi.
In January 2020, the locomotive completed a couple of trials in Chullora yard. It then undertook two test runs each day from Chullora Railway Workshops to Glenfield before being transferred under its own power to the NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere on the 25th.[38][39] Trial runs on the Picton to Mittagong loop line and the Main South line from Picton to Moss Vale occurred on 5 and 6 February.
Painting of the locomotive in lined green commenced in early March and was completed by the end of that month. The relaunch of the locomotive was planned for the 27 March with rides on that weekend leading up to the locomotive's planned presence at several other upcoming events but due to the COVID-19 pandemic the relaunch was postponed.[40] On 15 May 2020, 3801 performed an adhesion test hauling a 318-tonne train in simulated wet weather conditions up the 1-in-40 graded Cowan Bank.
The locomotive returned to service on 13 March 2021.

There is a pattern even where we find nothing, there is a sequence inside random, the apparent random incident has an AI inside, there are equations everywhere. Its the core which binds us, we all are nothing but deviation from our inner core, sooner or later we have to get back.
The light chain was fixed, I danced my hand.
Hay un patrón incluso cuando no encontramos nada, hay una secuencia dentro de azar, el azar aparente incidente tiene un interior AI, hay ecuaciones en todas partes. Es el núcleo de lo que nos une, que todos no son más que la desviación de nuestro núcleo interior, tarde o temprano tenemos que volver.
La cadena ligera se fijó, bailé mi mano.

Martedì 19 dicembre, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano si terrà il Concerto d’Addio di Elio e le Storie Tese. Sul palco: Elio (voce), Faso (basso), Cesareo (chitarra), Christian Meyer (batteria), Jantoman (tastiere), Vittorio Cosma (tastiere), Paola Folli (voce) e Mangoni (artista a sé).
«Sarà mica allora che quello del 19 dicembre 2017 al Mediolanum Forum di Assago non è il Concerto d’Addio degli EelST? Sì, e no – afferma la band - Sì: il concerto di domani è davvero il Concerto d’Addio degli EelST. Sarà una grande festa, quasi tre ore di musica, con una scaletta costruita a partire dalle preferenze espresse dai fan, che hanno votato le canzoni sulla pagina Facebook della band. No: non sarà l’ultimissimo concerto degli EelST».
Elio e le Storie Tese saranno in gara con il brano “Arrivedorci” al 68° Festival di Sanremo, il loro quarto e ultimo festival della canzone italiana. Commentano: «Perché, se si sciolgono veramente, vanno in gara al Festival di Sanremo? Per vari motivi. Intanto perché Claudio Baglioni li ha invitati a presentare una canzone. E se gli EelST gliel’hanno mandata è perché, dopo due piazzamenti al secondo posto (1996; 2013) e una rispettabile ma non abbastanza dodicesima posizione nel 2015, si sono voluti regalare un ultimo tentativo di raggiungere l’obiettivo di sempre: arrivare penultimi al Festival di Sanremo. L’inedita “Arrivedorci” è piaciuta. Il percorso verso il diciannovesimo posto è ufficialmente iniziato».
Dal 20 aprile saranno in tour in tutta Italia con il Tour d’Addio, per raggiungere tutti i fan che non sono riusciti a partecipare al Concerto d’Addio.
Raccontano: «Dopo avere preso atto di quanti avrebbero voluto, ma non hanno potuto, raggiungere Milano per partecipare alla festa al Mediolanum Forum, gli EelST hanno accettato la proposta di organizzare un altro giro di concerti. Un Tour d’Addio, che sarà però “a scadenza”: da consumarsi entro e non oltre il 30 giugno 2018. Con una sorpresa per i fan: il biglietto del concerto del Mediolanum Forum di Assago si potrà riutilizzare per ascoltare gli EelST quando il Tour passerà nella propria città».

What a good start to the holiday - first dip in the sea and he gets tumbled in the surf. Really good attention from the lifeguard and beach attendants with not one but two first aid boxes. Shortly after this they closed the beach for swimming - the sea was too rough!

The Postcard
A postcard published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris.
The card was posted in Auxerre on Tuesday the 8th. August 1911 to:
Monsieur Brette,
Auxerre,
Yonne.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Vittel 7 Août 1911.
Tante Brette".
Vittel
Vittel is a commune in the Vosges department in North Eastern France. Mineral water is bottled here under the Vittel brand.
In 1854, lawyer Louis Bouloumié purchased the Fontaine de Gérémoy, the site of the modern-day town of Vittel.
Two years later, Bouloumié built a pavilion from which developed the grand, luxurious architecture which characterises the area today.
The arcade and pavilion in the photograph were used as part of the United States Army Base Hospital No. 36 during the Great War.
Pope Pius X
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on Tuesday the 8th. August 1911, Pope Pius X lowered the age for First Communion in the Roman Catholic Church to the age of seven, with the papal decree Quam Singulari.

J-Ax Live segna il tutto esaurito per il secondo appuntamento milanese del 18 marzo all’Alcatraz.
Grande attesa per tutti i fan dell’artista che canterà i brani del suo nuovo attesissimo album, in uscita a gennaio 2015.
Se adesso l'hip hop e il rap rappresentano la musica italiana ai primi posti delle classifiche, il merito è solo suo, del papà degli Articolo 31, dello chef stellato degli Spaghetti Funk, del capo quartiere di Milano e dintorni, di quello che è venuto prima degli altri. Insomma, di J-Ax.
Rapper, produttore, scrittore, forse mentore e anche un po' guru grazie ai suoi Axforismi, con tutta una sua crew al seguito perché Le canzoni vengono da sole, io no. Ax ha creato il duo del rap che ha fatto la storia e che ha anticipato la tendenza musicale del momento e con i suoi Articolo 31 ha avuto modo di esplodere a suon di Bella zio.
"J-Ax è il nome che mi sono scelto sul finire negli anni 80, il significato e’ Joker A(le)x. Joker è il mio “cattivo” preferito.
Allora rifiutavo tutto quello che ero, volevo cambiare tutta la mia vita, nome compreso.
(…) Ora sono J-Ax in tutto e per tutto.
E vengo dal nero, dal vuoto… ma ho trovato un uscita.
(…) Ho ancora tutto da dimostrare, tanti non credevano fosse possibile, ma si sono dovuti già ricredere.
Io devo dimostrarvi chi sono, con il suono , un suono… IL MIO SUONO. Il mio nome in bocca ad alcuni, suona ancora come un insulto.
Ma i miei fans sono rumorosi.
Dicono che sia… uno di loro.
E così sia."
J Ax, all'anagrafe Alessandro Aleotti, è un musicista italiano. È il fratello maggiore di Luca Aleotti, in arte Grido, membro dei Gemelli DiVersi. È stato inoltre il vocalist del gruppo hip hop Articolo 31, fondato insieme a Luca Perrini (DJ Jad) nel 1990.

Massaroni Pianoforti? Ma che razza di nome d'arte si è dato, questo nuovo cantautore? Un po' di pazienza, ci arriviamo subito. Di nome fa Gianluca, nasce nel novembre del '76 a Voghera, trascorre l'infanzia traslocando spesso nei dintorni della città, poi si emancipa dentro un garage che ribattezza moncolocale facendo il trasportatore di pianoforti nella ditta di famiglia (Massaroni Pianoforti, appunto). Bulimico divoratore di biografie ma pure autore bizzarro di canzoni, inizia ufficialmente la sua attività artistica nel 2006 partecipando - e vincendo il premio della critica per il miglior testo - al Musicultura Festival. Successivamente, dopo aver figurato con un brano inedito dal titolo Canzone d'autore alla compilation di tracce B-Side scelte da Alessio Bertallot, firma con l'etichetta Radiorama, con la clausola di registrare la bellezza di tre album in cinque anni. Fantastico, il destino pare sorridergli a denti sgranati, come la più classica delle emoticon. Puntuale, a fine 2009, arriva la pubblicazione del primo disco a firma Gianluca Massaroni, L'amore altrove. Poi, più nulla: nel 2010 il contratto viene rescisso causa "impossibilità di sostenere promozionalmente" il percorso concordato dalle parti. Succede spesso così, e non solo in Italia. Vietato disperarsi.
Lui sceglie di archiviare subito questa storia e adotta il nome d'arte Massaroni Pianoforti. Nel 2011 partecipa in solitaria - da qui in poi amerà definirsi "cantautonomo" - al concorso Martelive: supera alla grande la selezione regionale in Lombardia. In quel periodo si esibisce spesso e volentieri a Spazio Musica, storico locale pavese, e lì gli riesce di aprire i concerti di band e cantautori: OfflagaDiscoPax, Andrea Chimenti, Dellera, Umberto Maria Giardini, e l'anno scorso fa da supporter anche ai Marta Sui Tubi. Si conoscono, entrano subito in empatia. Ora il cantante del gruppo, Giovanni Gulino, è il suo produttore discografico.
Nel 2013 è tra i primi artisti a tentare la scommessa crowdfunding sul portale musicraiser.it. La raccolta di fondi realizzata gli offre l'opportunità di registrare il suo secondo disco - stavolta col nome d'arte Massaroni Pianoforti - con il supporto di Cesare Malfatti (La Crus) e Maurizio D'Aniello e firmare un contratto Editoriale con la BMG. Il Nuovo Disco uscito il 25 Marzo 2014 s'intitola: Non date il salame ai corvi.
