Ron and his fellow mechanic are restoring the four rare Brunswick B-10 pinsetters that were found in an old, small, and nearly forgotten bowling alley on Chicago's south side. After nearly two years of negotiation, Ron and his fellow mechanic were allowed to dismantle and remove the units. Once the restoration is completed in the coming weeks, these will replace some of the B-1 Pinsetter machine in use at Southport Lanes on the north side of Chicago. The principal difference between the B-10 and the older B-1 units is that the B-10 utilizes an electric motor to cycle the rack up and down. The B-1 units are manually operated.

"The Hôtel Biron is a jewel of Parisian rocaille architecture, with its park that covers nearly three hectares, adding to its immense attraction and explaining the museum’s very high attendance. In total, it welcomes over 700,000 visitors every year.
Late in 2005, the architect Pierre Louis Faloci finished the restoration of the chapel building, making possible the reopening of a temporary exhibition room.
Stretching over three hectares, the grounds are divided into a rose garden, north of the Hôtel Biron, and a large ornamental garden, to the south, while a terrace and hornbeam hedge backing onto a trellis concealed a relaxation area, at the bottom of the garden. Pierced by three openings, this trellis reflects the design and proportions of the three bay windows on the mansion’s garden façade. Two thematic walks were also laid out: in the east, plants thrive amidst the rockery in the “Garden of Orpheus”, and, in the west, water is omnipresent in the “Garden of Springs”.
Rodin started to place selected works in the overgrown garden that he liked so much in 1908, together with some of the antiques from his personal collection. Male and female torsos, copies made in the Roman or modern period, after Greek works, were presented in these natural surroundings, their contours dappled by the sunlight: “Nature and Antiquity are the two great sources of life for an artist. In any event, Antiquity implies nature. It is its truth and its smile.” (Rodin)
The first bronzes were erected in the gardens before World War I. Since 1993, they have been regularly cleaned and treated so as to preserve their original patinas."
"The Musée Rodin in Paris, France, is a museum that was opened in 1919, dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. It has two sites: the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds in central Paris and just outside Paris at Rodin's old home, the Villa des Brillants at Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine). The collection includes 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs, and 7,000 objets d’art. The museum receives 700,000 visitors annually.
While living in the Villa des Brillants, Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908 and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures (along with paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired) to the French State on the condition that they turn the buildings into a museum dedicated to his works.
The Musée Rodin contains most of Rodin's significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss, and The Gates of Hell. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum's extensive garden. The museum is one of the most accessible museums in Paris. It is located near a Metro stop, Varenne, in a central neighborhood, and the entrance fee is very reasonable. The gardens around the museum building contain many of the famous sculptures in natural settings. Behind the museum building are a small lake and casual restaurant.
Additionally, the Metro stop, Varenne, features some of Rodin's sculptures on the platform. The building is served by Métro (line 13: Varenne or Invalides), RER (line C: Invalides), and bus (69, 82, 87, 92).
The museum has also a room dedicated to the works of Camille Claudel. Some paintings by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh that were in Rodin's personal collections are also presented. The Musée Rodin collections are very diverse, as Rodin used to collect besides being an artist."

In the mid 1990s the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Pima County agreed to reconstruct and expand the original 50-acre Ajo Detention Basin. The final footprint of the new KERP covers 141 acres that contains 28 acres of riparian and open water including a 5.6 acre, fifty-foot deep pond; 21 acres of grassland, mesquite bosque, marsh and upland vegetation that rises to an elevation of 2,520 feet; and another 92 acres that includes flood control structures, a basin earthen berm, and a recreational path that surrounds the basin.
An extensive pumping and valve system circulates and mixes reclaimed and storm water within the basin. When the water from the watershed covering a 17.9-square-mile area around Davis-Monthan Air Force Base enters KERP, its first destination is a debris basin equipped with a trash rack to retain sediment and trap floating objects. Water then passes into the lined storage ponds that retain the runoff by preventing seepage into the aquifer. Two small weirs and a weir gate regulate the flow of water into the deep pond.
Water is circulated along the three stream courses that drain into the ponds, and cooler water is also pumped from the bottom of the 50-foot pond to the top of the stream courses to improve water quality and aid with vector control.
Water levels fluctuate depending on the availability of storm water. During periods of extended dryness, reclaimed water is purchased from Tucson Water to maintain pond elevations and protect marsh habitats, the Mesquite Bosque and grasslands. Reclaimed water is treated wastewater (effluent) from the metropolitan treatment facilities that is distributed by the City of Tucson’s reclaimed water system. A 16 inch reclaimed water pipeline feeds water into the pond. In addition, the open water areas and marsh can be fed by three additional pipelines at KERP.
Harvesting Storm Water
Harvested storm water is a low cost alternative to purchasing and using ground water. Here are some of the areas that are irrigated with KERP water: The basin’s vegetation; Kino Sports Complex ballpark; Surrounding athletic fields; Median landscaping and easements; along Ajo Way and Country Club Road; UPH Hospital landscaping; Herbert Abrams Public Health Center landscaping; Landscaping at the Public Defenders, Juvenile Court, and Adult Probation buildings.

Representatives from the Maryland Departments of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Maryland Conservation Corps gathered at Patapsco Valley State Park to kickoff a collaborative, multi-year project that will restore populations of hemlock trees lost to the invasive hemlock wooly adelgid.
Christmas of 2018 became an unforgettable one for me. I started looking for antique pieces, particularly a Corpus. With my small savings as a high school student that time, I was able to purchase a Santo Cristo. Mr. Lloyd Potenciando, an antique dealer from Batangas offered a good price through Mr. Francis Ong’s referral and assistance.
The piece, according to the dealer, was from (+)Ramon Villegas’ collection. Arms were later added but replaced by a new one during the restoration. Initial repairs of the gesso were done by Mr. Albert Foronda of Floridablanca, Pampanga.
Nota bene: I need to clean my phone storage so I have uploaded it here in my Flickr account.
Holy Trinity Church in Old Bewick is a secluded 12th-century church standing in isolation at the end of a single-track road, bounded by woodlands and bordered by a stream crossed by an ancient stone clapper bridge. Though the oldest part of the present building dates to the 12th century there is evidence of a much older Anglo-Saxon building.
The 12th-century church was damaged by a Scottish raid in the 13th century but was rebuilt, and restored again in the middle of the 14th century.
HISTORY
Could Holy Trinity have royal connections? According to tradition, the Old Bewick estate was given to Tynemouth Priory in 1107 by Queen Maud, the daughter of Malcolm Canmore of Scotland who died in battle at Alnwick in 1093 and is buried at Tynemouth.
The earliest written record of a church at Old Bewick comes from 1695 when the porch was added. Inside the porch are several 13th and 14th-century grave slabs and there are further medieval grave slabs inside the church.
Also in the porch is a curious piece of a cross shaft some 0.65m high and 0.4m across. From the shallow depression on top of the shaft, it seems that it may have been used as a plague stone at a later date.
Grinning faces on the chancel arch
One intriguing find during church restoration was a bell dated to the 13th century, which is now in the vestry. This would suggest that a bell tower had been added to the church by the late 15th century.
Tradition suggests that Scottish troops under General Lesley damaged the church again in 1640. It was restored in 1695 when the porch was added, but a few decades later the roof blew off and was not replaced. Holy Trinity stood roofless for many years until it was finally restored by JC Langlands, whose memorial can be seen at the corner of the lane leading to the church.
The chancel and rose windows are dedicated to JC Langlands (d 1852) and his wife Mary, and their son Charles Langlands, an ensign with the 43rd Light Infantry who died in action at the assault of the Gate Pah at Tauranga, New Zealand in 1864 at the age of 21.
The Langlands were a military family; beneath the plaques to JC Langlands and his son is another to his heir John Shakespear Langlands, a Major in the Oxfordshire 43rd Light Infantry who died in 1905 and his son Lieutenant Alan Langlands of the South Wales Borderers who was killed in action in 1915 at just 20 years of age.
14th-century effigy of a woman
The church layout is very simple, with a nave, chancel, apsidal sanctuary, and south porch. The lower sections of the nave walls are built with extremely large blocks of stone that may be re-used Roman stonework. The south doorway is extremely simple, with a blank tympanum and Victorian saltire carvings, though the responds are carved with original Norman designs.
One of the most intriguing historical features inside the church is the 14th-century effigy of a woman in the chancel, carved from freestone. We do not know who the effigy is meant to depict but it appears to be the work of a school of sculptors active in the Alnwick area until about 1340. The woman may have been the wife of the patron who paid for the 14th-century church rebuilding.
Perhaps the most interesting historical feature, however, is the chancel arch. The north pillar has a pair of peculiar grinning faces flanking a tree, beneath a row of saltires. The carvings may date to the 11th century and are very similar to a carving at Durham Castle. On the pillar separating the sanctuary and chancel is a very well-preserved consecration cross.
Cross shaft possibly reused as a plague stone

Lying against the north wall of the chancel is a fragment of a grave slab with an incised cross. In the nave is a very well-preserved medieval foliated grave slab.
The font appears to be Victorian, though in Norman style and standing on a very rough base that may be original. Given the number of Norman remains in the church I'm inclined to think that the font may be a recut Norman one, but the church guide is uninformative on the subject.
Holy Trinity Church is a delight; it is one of the finest Norman churches in north-east England and the combination of the Norman architecture and the isolated setting make for an unforgettable visiting experience.
GETTING THERE
Holy Trinity is at the end of a lane immediately north of Old Bewick between Eglingham and East Lilburn. There is space to park along the verge and the church is usually open daylight hours.

Anybody that has ever done a restoration project, whether it be a classic automobile or a cast iron fry pan, knows the satisfaction of making something old new again.
Some members of the Vancouver Mini Club came up to help me get a bunch of tasks accomplished. Rear radius arms installed, front hubs installed, and the door hinges prepped. New felt bushes for the rear helper springs were made out of furniture leg pads.

We arrived at the Church of the Nativity early this morning to view the Grotto of the Nativity. The Church of the Nativity is actually part of a much larger compound that houses three different monasteries: Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic and Roman Catholic. The actual Grotto of the Nativity is in the Greek Orthodox section of the compound. This is some of the restoration work going on around the entrance to the grotto. Here a restorationist works to painstakingly uncover fescoes and mosaics that were plastered over during the church's long history.
