USS Reasoner (FF-1063) was a Knox-class frigate of the United States Navy, named in honor of 1st Lt. Frank S. Reasoner, awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously in the Vietnam War.

Reasoner was laid down 6 January 1969, by Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company, Seattle, WA and launched 1 August 1970, cosponsored by Mrs. James C. Curry and Mrs. Robert Svingen. Reasoner was commissioned 31 July 1971, Cmdr. Francisco Velazquez-Suarez, USN, commanding. Her hull number, originally DE-1063, was changed in 1975.

The Knox-class design was derived from the Brooke-class frigate, modified to extend range and without a long-range missile system. The ships had an overall length of 438 feet (133.5 m), a beam of 47 feet (14.3 m) and a draft of 25 feet (7.6 m). They displaced 4,066 long tons (4,131 t) at full load. Their crew consisted of 13 officers and 211 enlisted men.

The warships were equipped with one Westinghouse geared steam turbine that drove the single propeller shaft. The turbine was designed to produce 35,000 shaft horsepower (26,000 kW), using steam provided by two C-E boilers, to reach the designed speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph). The Knox class had a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km; 5,200 mi) at a speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).

The Knox-class ships were armed with a 5"/54 caliber Mark 42 gun forward and a single 3-inch/50-caliber gun aft. They mounted an eight-round RUR-5 ASROC launcher between the 5-inch (127 mm) gun and the bridge. Close-range anti-submarine defense was provided by two twin 12.75-inch (324 mm) Mk 32 torpedo tubes. The ships were equipped with a torpedo-carrying DASH drone helicopter; its telescoping hangar and landing pad were positioned amidships aft of the mack. Beginning in the 1970s, the DASH was replaced by a SH-2 Seasprite LAMPS I helicopter and the hangar and landing deck were accordingly enlarged. Most ships also had the 3-inch (76 mm) gun replaced by an eight-cell BPDMS missile launcher in the early 1970s.

Reasoner was decommissioned on 28 August 1993 and subsequently leased to Turkey, where the ship was recommissioned as Kocatepe. On 22 February 2002, she was finally purchased by Turkey. On 4 May 2005, the ship was used as a target and sunk in the Mediterranean Sea.

So, this photo was taken late at night when it was really dark, so excuse the weird lighting and not so amazingness of it. But if I'm going to be perfectly honest, I like it that way. :). Especially the glow of the flowers. :).

 

Anyhoo, this is a friend of mine, Nora. While we were in Alabama, I was busy trying to take photos of a flame in a mini-fire-pit nearby for good reasons and she said "Becca, I want to be a photographer." Can I just say that it made my day?! Hahah. (Lots of things made this day though. :).).

 

First of all, I'm so addicted to constantly taking photos that usually people get REALLY annoyed by and it and leave me alone because they don't want to deal with it. (Am I the only one with this problem? I'm sure I can't be...). But she is very patient with it all and then says she wants to be a photographer.

 

Well, to anyone who wants to be a photographer - I think they should just grab their camera and start at it. Nothing can stop one from taking photos. I know I've pulled the "But my camera sucks" card before (BEFORE MY T3i...), but in truth, some of my favourite photos were taken with my previous two cameras - one of which was the crappiest of the crappiest at the time. X). It's possible, I promise! :).

 

SOOC.

Philip Hooper, died 1715, is shown bewigged, and kneeling in prayer at a desk with books and a skull. The monument is the work of John Weston of Exeter. For some reason - stupidity, I think - I did not record the inscription. I'll get it next time I'm passing, though from the bit I do have, I can see that I'll have to exercise my Latin translation 'skills' (limited to an O level, taken in 1974, so not exactly sparkling).

 

The Hooper family arms are also shown on the panelling behind the communion table. It is said that Philip Hooper had given the reredos.

Porto. Portugal 2011

For reasons unknown I thought i'd add more chronically poor plastic VW T1 models to my collection when I saw a six vehicle set full of them in a Chinese bazaar whilst out in Spain.

Ironically the basic shape has been captured tolerably well but any credibility slides away with those terribly applied stickers!

The main reason, no, only reason for coming to Denmark was to carry out an audit I was told had to be undertaken face to face.

 

So, after checking into my hotel room yesterday, I got a call from my contact to say he was feeling very ill, flu or possible COVID, and so the audit could not go ahead.

 

Which meant that the whole trip becomes, in effect, wasted. My whole week had been cleared to travel and carry out the audit, and now there is nothing to fill it with.

 

Not that I don’t have things to do, there is always stuff to do, mails to write, meetings to attend to and so on and on. But the time and money so far spent has been for nothing. Really.

So, Tuesday morning, I wake up at six and after laying in bed for twenty minutes, get up to get ready for the day, then go downstairs for breakfast.

 

Breakfast is my one chance a day to eat something healthy, but not this morning. No fruit or yogurt on offer, so I make do with fruit juice and a Nutella filled roll. And a coffee. And was set.

 

I walk to the car, carrying my work bad and a sack of 1040 tea bags. Then drive along the old harbourside, now a place of libraries and restaurants following the tram tracks turning up hill as they did too, as the office is along here, some 5km.

It helps knowing the city and how to get about. I notice at traffic lights that the wild flower mix sown on the tram tracks as produced bladder campion, docks, betony, bird’s foot trefoil and other plants I zoomed fast too quickly to identify. And this strip of green threads through the city, attracting insects, birds. A proper wildlife habitat!

 

And so to the offices, where once the car park would already be overflowing, but now is barely 20% full. It might be early, but this is the reality of the way we work post-COVID, with just a fraction of the desks occupied.

My colleague came down to meet, and I give him the tea bags. He’s more than happy.

 

Then we go up to the office past several open plan offices, most with just one or two people in working. It really didn’t get much busier through the day, either.

And I have little work to do, preparing for work events weeks, months in the future. But I will be prepared.

 

The trick is to look busy. And that is quite the trick to pull off.

 

I met the rest of the team for lunch. They’re participating in a major audit, so the only chance to talk is over lunch. And lunch is my only real chance to eat healthy, so I load my plate with salad and vegetables, so in time would feel the benefit.

 

And back to work for a couple of hours, but without the audit to carry out and my calendar clear, I was up to date. So, at two I log off and head back to the hotel for a snooze and shower. I was feeling shitty to be honest, and I guessed, correctly as it turned out, that was what I needed.

Then, at five, I went out to meet my colleagues at the Aarhus Street Food place for some, well, street food.

 

They texted to say they left the office at quarter to five, so I walked up past the bus station to the old garage where the street food place is situated, got a beer and people watched.

At half five, I get a call: where are you? Turns out we were on opposite sides of the courtyard, we looked up and waved, and I walked over. We go inside and found a table, so our Boss, Eddy, looked after a table and we went to get something to eat.

Rune advised me that the pulled duck (!) burger was the way to go, along with the duck fat fried chips.

 

Was a good call, though greasy, very flavoursome and helped down by an IPA.

 

A night on the town was never a possibility, as Rune, Frank and Eddy all live locally, and won’t risk a beer when driving. So, I finish my beer talking to Eddy, and he leaves, while I walk back to the hotel as dusk fell, and the bright lights of Aarhus came on.

Back in my room I listened to some podcasts and went to bed at a sensible time. Which was nice.

 

The main reason for us to visit Wolsztyn was to see steam locomotive shed in Wolsztyn. Wolsztyn is the last place in Europe where train enthusiasts can see mainline steam locomotives operating daily pulling both freight and passenger trains. Near the station a simple but large open-air museum is set up, consisting of a steam locomotive shed / depot; turntable; and a wide collection of working, rare, mainline Polish steam locomotives.

 

Wolsztyn (formerly known as Wollstein) is little town dating from the middle ages. Once it was well-known for woollen cloth production. It is situated amidst lakes and on the River Obra and Dojca. After a great fire in 1810 Wolsztyn had to be practically built anew.

 

You can find a 18th century Baroque church, a Classicist 19th century palace and an open air moseum (Skansen), as well as a recreation and water sports centre on Lake Wolsztyn.

Just one more time...i wanna see tht beautiful day.

The lovely sunset, the coxy lookin clouds.

The smilin faces, the people i know

The happy beginin, and the endles flow.

The reasons tht tells, tht i can live once more.

Its ok if i dnt see it......just let me feel it once more.. once again i wanna feel it..

4:20am in Bar Harbor, Maine. Let's see, how do I put this delicately...I got up for the only reason I'd be up that early, looked out the window and saw this beautiful sight. Knew I had to try and get a photo but didn't want to wake Benny so I stumbled around in the dark looking for my camera and then went back to the bathroom window to take some pictures. However, I forgot one important thing - my glasses. Took my pictures, went back to bed and when I got up a few hours later and looked at them I wanted to cry - I never thought about the screen between me and that beautiful sight...and there was a balcony 2 feet away I could have stepped out on! That's why I don't do mornings - my brain just doesn't work.

 

Anyway, I still thought this was lovely enough to share. By the way, the sun comes up REALLY early in Maine - just after 5 while we were there. In this photo you'll notice that the sky is already getting lighter...and it's only 4:20!!

 

Postscript: As I was crawling back in bed, Benny was crawling out - on purpose; he wanted to take sunrise photos. This is what he got and there was no screen involved:

As we were in the area for another reason we made a visit to Cambridge. A lovely city with lots to see.

 

A busy Saturday, lots of shoppers and also, surprisingly, lots of graduates graduating.

 

We tried to work out when they would have finished their exams and, perhaps wrongly, that they may have waited a long time for the official ceremony to happen? Our guess is that they must have done their finals last May?

 

In most universities the graduation ceremonies happen in late summer or early Autumn, i.e. September or October. So finding grads. in Cambridge on a windy day in March was a bit of a surprise.

 

Cambridge has a very good market with lots of vendors selling anything from food to eat there and then and food to take home. The one bread shop in the market had some fabulous bread on display. Not cheap but it did look extremely well made and probably tasty!

 

Other stalls had everything from hats, scarfs, bikes, ukulele’s, guitars; in fact a whole host of merchandise if you wanted to spend money.

 

We came across a violin playing tight rope walker to a lovely young lady named Jo who was out with her friends for her hen party. I got chatting to Jo and found out she was getting married in five weeks or so and she came from Leicester. Her friend Angelina was from the Essex borders. They were both very pleasant and, despite some reluctance, allowed me to take their photo.

 

Another party I came across were from Australia but working in London. Adrian, an accountant, hails from Adelaide but is very happy to be working in London, despite the British climate!

 

A lovely day, lots of photographs of people on the streets and if you’re viewing them I hope you find something you like.

This town is called what it is

For some reason I see broken down vehicles on Friday. Today was no exception.

 

I wonder what has happened to cause this Ford Fiesta to be abandoned here. There was no sign of the owner.

"

-- Obviously, too, part of the reason for states' triumphs over simpler entities when the two collide is that states usually enjoy an advantage of weaponry and other technology, and a large numerical advantage in population. But there are also two other potential advantages inherent in chiefdoms and states. First, a centralized decision maker has the advantage at concentrating troops and resources. Second, the official religions and patriotic fervor of many states makes their troops willing to fight suicidally.

 

-- The latter willingness is one so strongly programmed into us citizens of modern states, by our schools and churches and governments, that we forget what a radical break it marks with previous human history. Every state has its slogan urging its citizens to be prepared to die if necessary for the state: Britain's "For King and Country", Spain's "Por Dios y Espana", and so on. Similar sentiments motivated 16th-century Aztec warriors: "There is nothing like death in war, nothing like the flowery death so precious to Him [the Aztec national god Huitzilopochtli] who gives life: far off I see it, my heart yearns for it!"

 

-- Such sentiments are unthinkable in bands and tribes. In all the accounts that my New Guinea friends have given me of their former tribal wars, there has been not a single hint of tribal patriotism, of a suicidal charge, or of any other military conduct carrying an accepted risk of being killed. Instead, raids are initiated by ambush or by superior force, so as to minimize at all costs the risk that one might die for one's village. But that attitude severely limits the military options of tribes, compared with state societies. Naturally, what makes patriotic and religious fanatics such dangerous opponents is not the deaths of the fanatics themselves, but their willingness to accept the deaths of a fraction of their number in order to annihilate or crush their infidel enemy. Fanaticism in war, of the type that drove recorded Christian and Islamic conquests, was probably unknown on Earth until chiefdoms and especially states emerged within the last 6,000 years.

One reason Ecology wanted waste in Zone A excavated and properly disposed was because high temperatures had been recorded underground that indicated unstable conditions within the waste.

This eagle took a fish from the frozen surface of the Fox River, and for some reason could not handle the fish once on its talons. It was until I began to look at the pictures on my computer that I realized why the problems of handling the fish. The left leg has 2 fingers missing, and the remaining ones do not have the necessary grip to control the prey easily. Some how it has reached the adulthood! I'm happy to see how he develops and with the fierceness that goes after his prey, that makes this particular Eagle a perfect life sample that shows no matter how or who we're, everything is possible. I will name this Eagle "Captain Hook"

n what was probably the least enjoyable game to watch this season, for many reasons, the important fact was that Longridge prevailed and left Turton with all 3 points to return to the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division.

 

In a week where West Lancs games have been postponed, and ordered to be replayed after 87 minutes, both sides agreed to play the match over two halves of 40 minutes each.

 

On a difficult surface, in extremely windy conditions, Turton played to a rigid game plan and the referee struggled to impose his authority from very early on in the game. The tactic however proved successful as, without troubling Lee Dovey in the Town goal,they made it to half time without conceding, nor looking particularly troubled by Town's superior possession.

 

Crowd favourite Joe Melling had returned to the Longridge side after a recent head injury, and he had a headed half chance at the far post after a Brad Carsley cross that unfortunately came to nothing. In a sign of things to come Town complained that Melling had been stamped on by the Turton keeper, but their appeals came to nothing.

 

Manager Lee Ashcroft's frustration at both his own side's efforts, and the lack of protection shown to his players by the referee, was obvious as the side's went in 0-0 at half time after exactly 40 minutes.

 

Longridge now had the strong wind at their backs, and Jack Preston (pictured) was introduced at half time in place of the unfortunate Conor Linighan, whose neat skilful style was not suited to the playing surface. Town were now lined up in a 3-5-2 formation with Preston joining leading scorer Brad Carsley up front.

 

Carsley and Preston linked well as Town went a little more direct and, after good work from Carsley, Preston stabbed the ball home with 20 minutes remaining to finally give Town the lead that their superiority deserved. In the aftermath however, the Turton keeper clearly punched Ash Ball and was given a straight red card leaving the Home side down to ten men. 0-1 to Town.

 

This should have resulted in Longridge going on to win the game comfortably, but this wasn't the case as Turton arguably played better with 10 men than 11. However, with Man of the Match Ged Smith controlling play at the back for Town, Lee Dovey was never troubled, and at the other end Longridge failed to test the outfield replacement goalkeeper as the light faded, and the elusive second goal never came, nor was it needed.

 

As the referee blew the whistle to end a particularly frustrating game, Mark Woods was shown a red card, presumably for something he said after the game had ended. Who knows....it was that kind of game!

 

After the match Manager Lee Ashcroft was rightly just pleased that his side were leaving with 3 points, " I've not a lot to say really. I suppose the cliche is that you need to win games like that if you are going to win League titles, but there is not a lot of satisfaction aside from that. I feel for my lads because they've worked hard with everything against them tonight, in very difficult circumstances, and I'm just delighted to get out of here with the 3 points. We've no game on Saturday, nor have Turton, so maybe we could have played the game at the weekend, I don't know. It's 3 points and I'll draw a line under it."

Ferocious cloud to ground lightning in the Louisville, Kentucky area over night.

The Union Pacific still comes to Sheboygan is to feed the Edgewater Generating Station with fuel (coal) from Wyoming's Powder River Basin.

This is the reason I've been so bad at uploading lately. :) I'll try harder but this little pony is makin' it tough on me! :-P Please forgive the poor cell phone quality.Here we are practicing impulsion and going on the bit. Still very much a work in progress.

St Mary's church in Huntingfield is one of those you simply have to see if you're in the area, and I'd frustratingly been only a village away on a previous expedition a year before (then looking at a church which disappointed me) without realising how close I was to something far better, so this time I knew I couldn't miss it again!

 

The reason why it shouldn't be missed becomes apparent once you're inside, otherwise the exterior doesn't prepare you, looking like a fairly ordinary 15th century church with some nice flushwork on the porch. The west tower is quite plain aside from a few accents of flushwork, however it did make a refreshing change to see a nave attached to it with aisles on both sides after the last few churches I'd just seen.

 

Inside everything looks bright and cheerful, the pleasing whiteness of the walls dispels any gloom and the north arcade of the nave with its square piers and round arches is a remnant of the Norman building. And then you look upwards and a riot of colour awaits! The entire roof of the nave and chancel ceiling beyond are a delicious display of colourful patterns, angels and saints, all painted over a seven year period by the vicar's wife, Mildred Holland in 1859-66. This really was a labour of love and the legacy she has left is astonishing, rendering what would have been a fairly ordinary space a sight you won't soon forget. She was apparently unaided in her work beyond help with erecting scaffolds, so this dazzling display is all her vision and countless hours of patient attention to every detail . The nave is mostly adorned with patterns and a few small figures of apostles, whereas the chancel has the most memorable design with its central panels of kneeling angels against a rich blue ground. The roof-beams feature angels carved in the same period (replacing lost originals?) and are similarly coloured and adorned. It was all done for pleasure, and pleasure it continues to give.

 

There are a few other features of note, a fine late medieval font at the west end is crowned by a tapering late 19th century cover, itself a memorial to the artist who enlivened the church's ceiling (though one might argue the ceiling performs this task better; reader, if you seek a monument look above you!). There are some nice Victorian carvings on the bench ends and a few pieces of ancient glass (that I managed to overlook completely) in the south chapel. A few monuments to the local landowners can be seen in the chancel, including a plain tomb which fills the former Easter Sepulchre recess, still showing some vestiges of its ancient mural painting.

 

Huntingfield church needs to be seen to be believed, it was a delight even on this dull afternoon, the low light subdued its colours somewhat but it still impressed, so I can only imagine how joyous it would look on a sunny day. I shall have to return in brighter conditions. It is happily normally open and welcoming and deserves to be visited and enjoyed.

For some reason this bridge reminds me of old, industrial USA.

 

This area harbors a lot of homeless people living along the creek in summer. I "pay a toll" whenever I cross this bridge - leaving whatever loose change is in my pocked on one of the concrete blocks blocking the Wisconsin side of the bridge.

 

This bridge is due to be replaced with a new bike/pedestrian walkway; connecting Beloit pathways with South Beloit.

But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons." ~Richard Bach
