From photographer's notes - "Yesterday Bob and I did our routine photo shoot on the Gold Line Foothill Extension. We were really amazed at the rapid progress on how they are wrapping up this project. We seemed to see crews working all along the line. It is hard to tell not knowing all the details but we both think the Gold Line has pulled ahead of the Expo Line. So maybe there will not be a Photo Finish at Santa Anita after all. From what I can gather the Gold Line will open for service about a month before the Expo Line. That makes sense because it will only require 15 more Units to do so. Expo will require aprox. 25 or more units. Throw in a few for spares. The Kinkisharyo cars are supposed to start arriving in June of 2015 at the rate of 4 a month. So the Gold Line should have enough cars by the end of December. The opening date is obviously flexible because it has to be. Start up maybe early in 2016.
We both felt had the new cars been ordered when they were originally planning to be, there would be enough cars for a 2015 startup on both rail extensions. Maybe they should name a couple of stations after the two Board Members that held up the new car order. lol
ARCADIA
We were very impressed with the new Arcadia Station that was recently dedicated. It was nice that it opened before the Service starts because people are using the benches to sit and read. The landscaping is beautiful. After a few years the trees will provide shade from the hot sun. They are just finishing up surfacing the rail East of 1st St. The rail is all in and complete the full length of this project, The clock tower at the Station is very impressive.
The new bridge at Huntington Dr.has been painted and finished. It is interesting how the new bridge sits just West of the old Bridge. Part of the steel beam of the old bridge made up a side of the new bridge. Notice the old bridge used many rivets and the new one is all welded. You can see how the decking differs between the two bridges on the picture showing underneath. All bridges on this project are completed.
MONROVIA
At Mayflower Ave. we stopped at the crossing. They were working on the crossing gates. The steel Overhead Support poles are all up to Mayflower Ave. There is a gap between Mayflower and 1st St. in Arcadia. Setting up those last poles can go quickly."

23594 “Revolvers: Convenient, Quick and Personal” list – The Virginia Museum of the Civil War (VMCM), 8895 George Collins Memorial Pkwy, New Market, Shenandoah, VA. May 26, 2018. Decimal Degrees: 38.661446, -78.670474
“Revolvers: Convenient, Quick and Personal”
“The variety of handguns in the 1860s seemed endless as American and European makers raced to fill demand. Almost every officer and every cavalryman carried a handgun. Like long arms, handguns of the 1850s fired paper cartridges ignited by a percussion cap.
By the mid-1830s single shot muzzle loading pistols gave way to 6-shot revolving cylinder models like Samuel Colt’s popular 1851 revolver. Just prior to the Civil War, Smith & Wesson introduced a revolver that fired metallic cartridges. Due to the inability of making metallic cartridges in the South, and difficulty in maintaining supply in the North, ‘ball and cap’ pistols remained the standard throughout the war.

“The Volcanic Pistol”
“In 1855 Horace Smith, Daniel Wesson and Oliver Winchester created the Volcanic repeating Army Company to make their magazine fed lever action pistol. The revolutionary arm fired a bullet which held the powder and the primer in its base, creating an early type of cartridge. One year later Smith and Wesson left to start their own arms company.
Winchester hired an arms designer and inventor named Tyler Henry who perfected the volcanic mechanism, thus creating the Henry rifle. Just after the Civil War, Oliver renamed the company and it’s iconic firearm after himself: Winchester.

My first attempt at a new Nigel Slater recipe - "quick mildly-spiced beef". Beef, onions, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, stock, grain mustard, cream, fresh parsley garnish. The beef I used came out a bit tough but otherwise it was very tasty. Maybe I'll use meatballs next time to be sure the meat is tender...

the pouring of showers and hail was not far and coming our way, the escape being slim on our bicycles, we were lucky to find shelter
le rideau de pluie et de grêle était proche et s'amenait dans notre direction, nos chances de s'échapper en bicyclettes étaient minces, mais on s'est quand même trouvé un abri

The surprise I suppose is not that the eagle doesn't chew -- no teeth on the beak, right -- it's the immoderate amounts eaten.
I impressed myself with a quick change from work to casual clothes. Even more impressive, I made this blouse “work” for business and then dinner out with Beefy.

So as you know I'm working on Plastic Man decals. I made this preview to see the how the colors, the muscles sizes and more. Also to DCbrick could see how I'm doing and give is opinion about the colors, the sizes ...
When I saw this www.fatquarterly.com/quick-curved-ruler-brioni-2.html , I just had to make one for myself. I think these are one of the coolest blocks I've seen. I hope she takes it as a compliment that I copied.
