The Ram is the mascot of the UNC Tarheels and is referred to as Rameses.
The origin of a ram as Carolina's mascot dates back to 1924. In 1922, the star fullback, Jack Merritt, was given the nickname "the battering ram" for his performance on the field. Vic Huggins, Carolina's head cheerleader at the time, suggested the idea of a ram mascot to the athletic business manager, Charles T. Woollen, and had the idea approved. Charles gave Vic $25 to purchase a ram. Rameses the First was shipped from Texas, just in time for the pep rally.
The first appearance of Rameses was at a pep rally before the football game against Virginia Military Institute on November 8, 1924.[2][3][4] After the pep rally the ram was taken to Emerson Field. Through three quarters the game was scoreless. Late in the fourth quarter Bunn Hackney was called out to attempt a field goal. Before stepping out on the field he rubbed Rameses' head. Just a few seconds later Hackney kicked a 30-yard field goal that eventually won the game for the Tar Heels; the final score was 3-0. Rameses has been a fixture on the sidelines at UNC football games ever since. I knew Bunn Hackney as he was the Boy Scout Executive of the Uwharrie Council when I was a Boy Scout.
Incidentally, Ramses is not present at basketball games. Can you guess why?

The Icelandic sheep (Icelandic: Íslenska sauðkindin) is a breed of domestic sheep. The Icelandic breed is one of the Northern European short-tailed sheep, which exhibit a fluke-shaped, naturally short tail. The Icelandic is a mid-sized breed, generally short legged and stocky, with face and legs free of wool. The fleece of the Icelandic sheep is dual-coated and comes in white as well as a variety of other colors, including a range of browns, grays, and blacks. They exist in both horned and polled strains. Generally left unshorn for the winter, the breed is very cold-hardy.

Using a patent-pending technology, a proprietary print head attached to an ABB robot arm uses exclusive binder jetting technology to print sand molds and cores for the foundry industry. The proprietary system includes easy-to-use software that uses a CAD file to print a mold and core in just a few hours.
Foundries will appreciate the speed with which the system prints — and how fast their operation can be up and running with the new technology. What’s more, the RAM 123 uses less sand and is substantially less expensive than other sand casting 3D printers on the market today.
This disruptive technology brings a new way of production to foundries — instead of shipping castings around the world, raw materials are shipped and files are simply transmitted to 3D printers in strategic locations. The result is castings are poured the same day, only where you need them.
Meet Kristin and Alicia. These lovely ladies are NFL cheerleaders for the St. Louis Rams (as if us guys were concerned with superficial things like what team these bonnie lookin' colleens cheer for). www.stlouisrams.com
My son and I met them at the world's largest catsup bottle festival and car show in Collinsville, IL. www.catsupbottle.com
These are two of the nicest girls you could meet. They were sincerely interested in the project and how I got started, very down to earth, happy to talk and in no hurrry at all. They were very accommodating allowing me to take several photos and even got up and out of the booth to pose. ( Good thing too a couple of my shots were over exposed.)
This is Kristin's 3rd year with the team and she teaches cheerleading at Belleville East High School. This is Alicia's first year with the team. They have both worked as cheerleaders since they have been out of college.
Thank you Kristin and Alicia both very much for participating in the the project!
I'm not much of a sports fan but maybe I'll start rooting for the Rams (provided of course they're not playing Da Bears).
Kristin and Alicia's photograph is #44 in my 100 Strangers project. You can learn more about the project, see other photos and photos by other photographers at: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers
One of the grandest and most rewarding monuments of the ancient world, the Temple of Amun at Karnak simply cannot fail to impress with its grandeur. It is a vast complex of buildings over three main precincts, the greatest of which is that of Amun with the enormous great temple at its heart. This is the main draw for all visitors to Karnak, with its avenue of sphinxes, huge courtyards and incomparable pillared hypostyle hall. It is not only one of Egypt's most important monuments but simply one of the greatest ancient sites anywhere.
The great temple of Amun dominates the complex and is the work of successive dynasties throughout the New Kingdom, at which point the local god Amun had been established as the state god of Egypt (his name means 'the hidden one', as he only rose to prominence relatively late in Egyptian history, largely connected to the rising importance of Thebes as the centre of power, thus its local god rose with it). Some of the earliest parts at the east end date to the reign of Thutmoses I with successive sections added by other 18th & 19th Dynasty rulers, with great obelisks erected by Hatshepsut and much of the Hypostyle Hall and pylons built under Seti I and his son Ramesses II. The first courtyard and the main pylon were the latest additions to the temple under the reign of Nectanebo I and were never fully finished.
The temple is approached through and avenue of large ram-headed sphinxes, each protecting a small pharoah figure between their paws, representing the god Amun (whose sacred animal was the ram) protecting the king. These statues are usually identified as dating to the reign of Ramesses II, but it is possible they may date further back to Amenophis III. Originally this avenue stretched all the way through what is now the first courtyard to the 2nd pylon and hypostyle hall, but after construction of the 1st pylon and courtyard those beyond the new facade were stored in rows either side of the new courtyard beyond the entrance pylon.
The main facade is formed by the towering 1st pylon built under Nectanebo I and never finished, the stonework is still rough-hewn and lacking in decoration and the northern tower remains somewhat shorter than its southern neighbour. The southerrn tower has at its rear the remains of a mud-brick ramp used during construction. The courtyard beyond is vast and dotted with pillars and statues from various earlier stages in the growth of Karnak, including a towering column from a pavilion built by Nubian Pharoah Taharqa, two colossi of Ramesses II (one usurped later by Pinedjem) and more of the ram-sphinxes that once lined the approach.
Beyond the courtyard is the more ruinous 2nd pylon which leads to the most famous part of the Karnak Temple complex, the incredible Hypostyle Hall, sometimes called the 'Hall of a Hundred Columns' owing to the great multitude of thick, round columns in every direction, like a forest of enormous tree-trunks in stone. There are 134 columns in all in 16 rows, the central axis columns being taller with palm-capitals, whilst the rows either side of this carried a clerestorey of stone-latticed windows, many of which survive (originally these would have been the main light source when the hall had its roof). The decoration on the columns and side walls dates mostly to the reign of Ramesses II and is in sunken relief, but some earlier work from Seti I's reign in raised-relief can be seen on the north side.
Continuing along the main eastern axis the great temple becomes more ruinous and harder to follow, but several major features stand out such as the obelisk of Hatshepsut and the much later barque shrine, whilst some distance beyond the festival hall of Thutmosis III, a pillared structure that represents the most substantial remaining part of the eastern sections of the temple and retains some coloured decoration inside.
In addition to the main eastern axis of the temple there is the southern axis that is formed of four courtyards and further pylon towers and gates which extend towards the precinct of Amun's consort Mut (a much more ruined site reached by equally ruined sphinx avenues to the south, one of which also connects with that leading to Luxor Temple a mile or so further on).. These sections of the complex are mostly closed to visitors at present with stabilisation works ongoing.
There are further smaller temples and areas of great interest around the huge Karnak site, which we have visited on a previous trip (we once spent an entire day here in the pre-digital 1990s), but sadly time was limited on this occasion to focusing on the major sections of the great temple itself, so we hope to return to spend longer here another time.
A bad traffic collision between a 4runner and a Protegé. The 4runner somehow rolled onto it's roof several yards from where it made contact with the Protegé where it sits at the intersection.
Excellent follow up for the Matchbox 2015 Ram 1500 casting thanks to this accurate and licensed El Segundo Fire Dept. livery and colour scheme, good enough to avert your eyes away from its rather cheapo grey plastic front end! ;-)
Bought from ASDA back in November 2017, yes it really did take that long for this case to arrive at our only "exclusive" Matchbox retailer in the entire U.K.
Mint and boxed.
