Met twee weken vakantie thuis, omdat de plannen voor Oostenrijk al waren gecanceld vanwege het slechte weer in die hoek, hadden we de hoop op nog een enkele dag redelijk weer in Nederland, maar het wil niet echt met het weer op de plekken waar we nog heen wilden. Gisteren zou het dan een fraaie dag moeten worden en was de Angertalbahn onze bestemming, maar de bewolking zat in de voorspelling al dichtbij en bleek - uiteraard - net te dichtbij te komen.
Zoals wel vaker klaart het laat in de middag wat op, uiteraard op het moment als de zon op de hoofdbaan niet meer goed staat en de Angertalbahn in schaduwen gehuld raakt;-) Dit is nog het beste wat eruit te halen was met de passage van deze Rheincargo BB1000-en met ene beladen trein. De eerste loc draagt nog de kenmerkende HGK-kleuren.

During the campaign, President Obama argued that his election would help restore the image the rest of the world has of United States.
In the six months since his election, his approval ratings at home have slipped, though they remain high. Around the rest of the world, opinion is mixed. A recent study by WorldPublicOpinion.org asked people in 21 countries whether they had confidence that Obama would “do the right thing” when it came to world affairs. Our latest Transparency is a look at their responses.

Edward Gleadall Uphill Robson was born in 1882, the son of Thomas and Ann Dean Uphill Robson. The family lived in Uphill House on Finchley New Road, Hampstead.
He was educated at Malvern College from 1896 - 1901, where he excelled at sport. He went to Clare College, Cambridge in 1901, where he was in the college football XI in 1903 and was captain in 1904. In 1903 he took part in a college athletics event in which he was entered for the 2 miles handicap. He graduated from Clare in 1904
In 1911 he was a tutor in Norfolk, living at Home Place, Cromer Road, Kelling. In 1913 he obtained a MA at Clare. He then trained for the priesthood at Leeds and was made a Deacon in 1912. In 1913 he was ordained a priest by the Bishop of St. Albans. He served as curate at the Malvern College Mission, Worcestershire from 1912-14, Canning Town, East London and then at Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
During the First World War Edward was a Royal Navy Chaplain aboard HMS Aboukir.
HMS Aboukir was a Cressy class armoured cruiser, launched on 16th. May 1900. Upon completion she was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet and spent most of her career there. Upon returning home in 1912, she was placed in reserve. Recommissioned at the start of the First World War, she was assigned to the 7th. Cruiser Squadron. The squadron was tasked with patrolling the 'Broad Fourteens', an area of the North Sea, in support of a force of destroyers and submarines based at Harwich in Essex which protected the eastern end of the English Channel from German warships attempting to attack the supply route between England and France. During the Battle of Heligoland Bight on 28th. August, the ship was part of Cruiser Force 'C', in reserve off the Dutch coast and saw no action.
On the morning of 22nd. September 1914, Aboukir and her sister ships, Cressy and Hogue, were on patrol without any escorting destroyers as they had been forced to seek shelter from bad weather. A forth ship, Euryalus had to return to port due to lack of coal and weather damage to her wireless. A fifth ship, Bacchante never sailed and remaining in port. The three sisters were in line abreast, about 2,000 yards (1,800 m) apart and at a speed of 10 knots (12 mph - 19 km/h). They were not expecting a submarine attack and were not zigzagging but they had lookouts posted and had one gun manned on each side to attack any submarines if sighted. The weather had moderated earlier that morning and Commodore Reginald Tyrwhitt, commander of the Harwich Force, was en route to reinforce the cruisers with eight destroyers.
The submarine U-9, commanded by Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigen, had been ordered to attack British transports at Ostend, Belgium but had been forced to dive and take shelter from the storm. On surfacing, she spotted the British ships off the Hook of Holland and moved to attack. U-9 fired one torpedo at 06:20 at Aboukir that struck her on the port side. Captain John Drummond thought he had struck a mine and ordered the other two ships to close to transfer his wounded men. Aboukir quickly began listing and capsized around 06:55 despite counterflooding compartments on the opposite side to right her. By the time that Drummond ordered 'abandon ship' only one boat was available because the others had either been smashed or could not be lowered as no steam was available to power the winches for the boats.
As Hogue approached her sinking sister, the ship's captain, Wilmot Nicholson, realized that it had been a submarine attack and signalled Cressy to look for a periscope. His ship continued to close on Aboukir as his crew threw overboard anything that would float to aid the survivors in the water. Having stopped and lowered all her boats, Hogue was struck by two torpedoes around 06:55. The sudden weight loss of the two torpedoes caused U-9 to broach the surface and Hogue's gunners opened fire without effect before the submarine could submerge again. Hogue capsized about ten minutes after being torpedoed as all of her watertight doors had been open, and she sank at 07:15.
Cressy under the command of Captain Johnson attempted to ram the submarine, but did not hit anything and resumed her rescue efforts until she too was torpedoed at 07:20. She also took on a heavy list and then capsized, before sinking at 07:55. Several Dutch ships began rescuing survivors at 08:30 and they were joined by British fishing trawlers before Commodore Tyrwhitt and his ships arrived at 10:45.
There was opposition to the 7th. Cruiser Squadron's patrols from many senior Royal Navy officers, including Admiral Jellicoe, Commodores Keyes and Trywhitt and even the First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. They argued that the ships were very vulnerable to a raid by modern German surface ships and that the squadron shouldn't be patrolling the North Sea. The squadron gained the nickname 'the Livebait Squadron'. The Admiralty maintained the patrol on the grounds that destroyers were not able to maintain the patrol in the frequent bad weather and that there were insufficient modern light cruisers available.
Of the 777 ratings and 60 officers that survived, one was Kit Wykeham-Musgrave, who was 15 at the time and serving on Aboukir. When his ship went down, he managed, swimming against the suction, to escape and was pulled aboard the Hogue, just before it was struck. As this ship went down, Musgrave again slipped out of death’s fingers to board the Cressy. When this, too, went down, he clung to life on a piece of driftwood, unconscious, until being rescued by a Dutch trawler.
1,397 rating and 62 officers were lost in the attack. The officer of the watch on U-9 later wrote
"In the periscope, a horrifying scene unfolded... We present in the conning tower tried to suppress the terrible impression of drowning men, fighting for their lives in the wreckage, clinging on to capsized lifeboats..."
Aboukir lost a total of 527 men, one of those was Edward, aged 32. Had only been aboard Aboukir for 5 weeks and was the first British chaplain to be killed in the First World War. The chaplains on the other two ships, the Revd. George Henry Collier and the Revd. Wilfred Frank Proffitt Ellis survived.
Edward is commemorated on Panel 1 of the Chatham Naval Memorial in Kent and at Holy Trinity Church, Caister in Norfolk.
On his return to the naval base at Wilhelmshaven, Germany, Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigenhe was awarded the Iron Cross First Class by the Kaiser, his entire crew received the Iron Cross Second Class.
Weddigen died while commanding the submarine U-29. On 18th. March 1915 U-29 was rammed by the British battleship HMS Dreadnought in the Pentland Firth. U-29 had broken the surface immediately ahead of Dreadnought after firing a torpedo at HMS Neptune and Dreadnought cut the submarine in two after a short chase. There were no survivors from the submarine.
The U-9 was one of only two ships which Kaiser Wilhelm II awarded the Iron Cross, the other being a surface raider. After April 1916 she was withdrawn from front line duties to be used for training. The submarined surrendered on 26th. November 1918 and was broken up at Morecambe, Lancashire in 1919.
In 1954 the British government sold the salvage rights to all three armoured cruisers to a German company and they were subsequently sold again to a Dutch company which began salvaging the wrecks' metal in 2011.

Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2015
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by Queen Elizabeth II, principal members of the Royal Family normally including the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
The parade consists mainly of an extensive march past by veterans, with military bands playing music following the list of the Traditional Music of Remembrance.
Other members of the British Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The Queen
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
The following is complied from press reports on 8 November 2015:
"The nation paid silent respect to the country's war dead today in a Remembrance Sunday service. Leading the nation in remembrance, as ever, was the Queen, who first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 1945 and has done so every year since, except on the four occasions when she was overseas.
Dressed in her customary all-black ensemble with a clutch of scarlet poppies pinned against her left shoulder, she stepped forward following the end of the two-minute silence marked by the sounding of Last Post by 10 Royal Marine buglers.
The Queen laid her wreath at the foot of the Sir Edwin Lutyens Portland stone monument to the Glorious Dead, then stood with her head momentarily bowed.
She was joined by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to the Cenotaph for the first time to lay a wreath marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by British troops.
Watched by his wife Queen Maxima, who stood next to the Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box, the King laid a wreath marked with the simple message, 'In remembrance of the British men and women who gave their lives for our future.'
Wreaths were then laid by members of the Royal Family, all wearing military uniform: Prince Philip; then Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Prince William at the same time ; then Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent at the same time.
Three members of the Royal Family laying wreaths at the same time was an innovation in 2015 designed to slightly reduce the amount of time of the ceremony and thereby reduce the time that the Queen had to be standing.
Prince Charles attended a remembrance service in New Zealand.
The Prime Minister then laid a wreath. The Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, appeared at the Cenotaph for the first time. He wore both a suit and a red poppy for the occasion.
His bow as he laid a wreath marked with the words 'let us resolve to create a world of peace' was imperceptible – and not enough for some critics. Yet unlike the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Battle service earlier this year, Mr Corbyn did join in with the singing of the national anthem.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Duke of Cambridge took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
Time takes its inevitable toll on even the most stoic among us, and this year only a dozen World War Two veterans marched with the Spirit of Normandy Trust, a year after the Normandy Veterans' Association disbanded.
Within their ranks was 95-year-old former Sapper Don Sheppard of the Royal Engineers. Sheppard was of the eldest on parade and was pushed in his wheelchair by his 19-year-old grandson, Sam who, in between studying at Queen Mary University, volunteers with the Normandy veterans.
'It is because of my admiration for them,' he says. 'I see them as role models and just have the utmost respect for what they did.'
While some had blankets covering their legs against the grey November day, other veterans of more recent wars had only stumps to show for their service to this country during 13 long years of war in Afghanistan.
As well as that terrible toll of personal sacrifice, the collective losses – and triumphs - of some of the country’s most historic regiments were also honoured yesterday.
The Gurkha Brigade Association - marking 200 years of service in the British Army – marched to warm ripples of applause. The King’s Royal Hussars, represented yesterday by 126 veterans, this year also celebrate 300 years since the regiment was raised.
They were led by General Sir Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and Colonel of the regiment who himself was marching for the first time.
'We are joined by a golden thread to all those generations who have gone before us,” he said. “We are who we are, because of those that have gone before us.' "

Remembering the ‘Twerp’
On 26 December 1947, a small, nondescript wooden-hulled motor vessel set off from Hobart, bound for Antarctica. Its silhouette resembled that of an ageing offshore fishing craft, but its weather deck was packed from stem to stern with supplies and equipment – including a single-engine Vought-Sikorsky Kingfisher floatplane. At the helm was Commander Karl E Oom, an officer in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). He was supported by five naval officers, 22 ratings, a Royal Australian Air Force pilot and air fitter mechanic, and an Australian Department of Information photographer. The complement was rounded out by four civilian scientists who were responsible for conducting a series of experiments, and observing meteorological and other natural phenomena in the Antarctic.
Their voyage would be the first to operate under the banner of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition (ANARE), a series of post-war initiatives to establish Australian scientific research stations in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic territories of Heard Island and Macquarie Island. ANARE laid the foundation for the establishment of the Australian Antarctic Division, and in later years Australia’s polar research ships could trace their lineage back to the little timber craft then making its way towards the world’s southernmost continent: HMAS Wyatt Earp.

A thoroughly enjoyable puzzle - great colors with a hint of fall or late summer. Van Gogh's style makes for a difficult puzzle experience, but there was enough going on in the image to keep me on my toes and it never got boring or monotonous.

daft as it sounds, but i rate panels on various aspects, engraving, paint quality, back light and accuracy, keep a note pad handy, write down ratings and notes so next time i build the same piece i can remember what i did not like about the last attempt. for back light i average usually 7/10 however this one has a rating of 10/10, well happy, first for me, maybe i have finally figured this panel making lark out??
This is my old 1922 Victrola. I have had the spring motor repaired and rewound. I have also reworked the sound box (the part where the needle goes in). It sounds wonderful and quite loud, depending on the loudness rating of the needle used. It is only recommended you use the needle for one play, This picture was taken in very low lighting with an Olympus OM-1n on Kodak ColorPlus 200 asa using a 50mm zuiko lens f2.8 for 1 second exposure, Developed in Unicolor C-41 kit.
I'm a rabid Amazon.com fanboy. Living 70+ miles away from a mall or "real" shopping center, I rely on online buying for a lot- I've bought cameras, jeans, sheets, cables, batteries, chargers, and more from them just tis year.
This box contains photo paper and a camera lens carrying case I ordered less than 48 hours ago, that arrived on my front door, on a dirt street in a small town in north central Arizona,
