Track and Field archives
The National Athletics Archive is held at the Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham, and comprises an extensive volume of archival materials. These papers primarily relate to the history and development of athletics in the United Kingdom throughout the 1800s and 1900s. In addition to organisational collections, such as the papers of the Amateur Athletics Association, the National Athletics Archive includes various discrete collections of individual athletes. These include papers relating to Sydney Wooderson MBE, 1914-2006. Wooderson was an English athlete who was dubbed ‘The Mighty Atom’. His athletics career peaked in the 1930s and 1940s and he set the world mile record of 04:06:40 at London’s Motspur Park on 28 August 1937. This record stood for nearly five years.
The collection also includes ephemeral and grey literature relating to various athletics clubs, meetings and events. Papers relating to major athletics championships include material generated during the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games held in Cardiff. These Games introduced the ‘Queen’s Baton Relay’ which has been conducted as a prelude to every British Empire and Commonwealth Games since.

House Bill 980, relating to “Highway Safety” (aka Distracted Driving Bill) – This measure is effective July 1, 2013. While all counties have some form of a distracted driving ordinance in place, this measure establishes a state law that creates consistent requirements across all counties for the use of mobile electronic devices while driving and will simplify enforcement. Crash data from the DOT shows that during 2007, 32 percent (2,871 of the 8,770 collisions) were attributed to inattention to driving.
Senate Bill 4, relating to “Motor Vehicles” (aka Universal Seatbelt Bill) – This measure requires all front seat and back seat occupants to buckle up, effective immediately. Adults and children must use their seat belts and child restraints at all times. Unrestrained back seat passengers were more than three times as likely to have injuries that were fatal or required hospitalization compared to restrained back seat passengers, based on DOH’s analysis of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) records. Additionally, among back seat passengers who were treated for injuries by EMS, average medical charges were nearly tripled among those who did not use seat belts ($11,043), compared to restrained passengers ($3,817).
The bill signings were done in conjunction with the DOT’s launch of the annual “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaign, held in partnership between the state and counties with federal funding. During the national Click It or Ticket mobilization from May 20 to June 2 and throughout the year, police statewide will be continuing strict enforcement of the state seat belt and child passenger restraint laws.

This is my entry for STUDENT SCISSORS’s 20K Subscriber MOC competition. The rules are that one must build a fully convertible Lego transformer that somehow relates to the number ‘2.’
I have decided to build the Decepticon Duocon Flywheels (AKA Skytread) from the G1 continuity, relating to the theme of two in how his robot mode is composed of two vehicles that combine. However, I have decided to throw a twist on the character’s traditional design, which has his tank mode become his entire body, and his jet mode become his head and a seeker-y chestplate. I have designed Flywheels so that each mode becomes half of his body LENGTHWAYS, with each mode becoming half his chest, and providing one arm and one leg. Only his head is entirely concealed inside one mode, so it can freely rotate and move up and down. ( The head does, however, still continue the two-toned theme of the design with different styling and coloring on each cheek plate.)
I chose this redesign both to be more original, as well as to reflect Flywheel’s personality a little better in his character design. According to TF wiki, the jet and tank sides of Flywheel’s personality are so different that they constantly bicker and clash with each other. My redesign portrays this by having his tank half be strong and blocky, representing his headstrong and stubborn side, while having his jet half being streamlined and more spindly; his quick-witted and tactical side.
I took inspiration from both Safe Guard’s transformation, and TheAmazingSpino’s redesign for Shockwave. Both these designs have followed the aforementioned idea of two altmodes combining lengthways to form two-toned robot modes.
Robot mode stands about a foot tall, jet mode has functional landing gear, and the tank turret can rotate.

Les Invalides
Les Invalides, formally the Hôtel National des Invalides, is a complex of buildings in the 7th. arrondissement of Paris, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose.
The buildings house the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine, as well as the Dôme des Invalides, a large church, the tallest in Paris at a height of 107 meters, with the tombs of some of France's war heroes, most notably Napoléon.
Early History of Les Invalides
Louis XIV initiated the project by an order dated the 24th. November 1670, as a home and hospital for aged and unwell soldiers.
The architect of Les Invalides was Libéral Bruant. The selected site was in the then-suburban plain of Grenelle.. By the time the enlarged project was completed in 1676, the river frontage measured 196 metres (643 ft) and the complex had fifteen courtyards, the largest being the Cour d'Honneur to be used for military parades.
It was then felt that the veterans required a chapel. Jules Hardouin-Mansart assisted the aged Bruant, and the chapel was finished in 1679 to Bruant's designs after the elder architect's death. This chapel was known as the Église Saint-Louis des Invalides, and daily attendance of the veterans in the church services was required.
Shortly after the veterans' chapel was completed, Louis XIV commissioned Mansart to construct a separate private royal chapel referred to as the Église du Dôme, named after its most striking feature. The domed chapel was finished in 1793.
Later History of Les Invalides
Because of its location and significance, Les Invalides served as the scene for several key events in French history. On the 14th. July 1789 it was stormed by Parisian rioters who seized the cannons and muskets stored in its cellars to use against the Bastille later the same day.
Napoléon was entombed under the dome of the Invalides with great ceremony in 1840. In December 1894 the degradation of Captain Alfred Dreyfus was held before the main building, while his subsequent rehabilitation ceremony took place in a courtyard of the complex in 1906.
In 1872 the Musée d'Artillerie was located within the building, to be joined by the Musée Historique des Armées in 1896. The two institutions were merged to form the present Musée de l'Armée in 1905.
The building retained its primary function of a retirement home and hospital for military veterans until the early twentieth century. In 1905 the veterans in residence were dispersed to smaller centres outside Paris. The reason was that the adoption of a mainly conscript army, after 1872, meant a substantial reduction in the numbers of veterans having the twenty or more years of military service formerly required to enter the Hôpital des Invalides.
The building accordingly became too large for its original purpose. The modern complex does however still include facilities for about a hundred elderly or incapacitated former soldiers.
Architecture of Les Invalides
On the north front of Les Invalides, the chapel dome is large enough to dominate the long façade, yet harmonizes with Bruant's door under an arched pediment. Also under the pediment is an equestrian statue of Louis XIV.
To the north, the Cour d'Honneur is extended by the wide public Esplanade des Invalides where the embassies of Austria and Finland are neighbours of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all forming one of the grand open spaces in the heart of Paris.
At its far end, the Pont Alexandre III links this grand urbanistic axis with the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais. The Pont des Invalides is next, downstream on the Seine river.
The buildings still comprise the Institution Nationale des Invalides, a national institution for disabled war veterans. The institution is composed of:
-- A retirement home
-- A medical and surgical centre
-- A centre for external medical consultations.
The Alexander III bridge was built in alignment with Les Invalides.
Churches at Les Invalides
In 1676, Jules Hardouin-Mansart was commissioned to construct a place of worship on the site. He designed a building which combined a royal chapel (now Dôme des Invalides) with a veterans' chapel (now Cathedral of Saint-Louis des Invalides).
In this way, the King and his soldiers could attend mass simultaneously, while entering the place of worship through different entrances, as prescribed by court etiquette. This separation was reinforced in the 19th. century with the erection of the tomb of Napoleon I, the creation of two separate altars and then with the construction of a glass wall between the two chapels.
The Cathedral of Saint-Louis des Invalides
When the Army Museum at Les Invalides was founded in 1905, the Veterans' Chapel was placed under its administrative control. It is now the Cathedral of the Diocese of the French Armed Forces, officially known as Cathédrale Saint-Louis-des-Invalides.
The Dôme des Invalides
The Dôme des Invalides (originally Chapelle Royale des Invalides) is a large former church in the centre of the Les Invalides complex, 107 metres (351 ft) high. The Dôme des Invalides is decorated with 12.65 kilograms (27.9 lb) of gold leaf, and is an important landmark in Paris.
The Dôme was designated to become Napoleon's funeral place by a law dated the 10th. June 1840. Ousted in 1815 by the allied armies, Napoleon had stayed so popular in France that Louis-Philippe, the King of France from 1830 to 1848, returned his mortal remains in 1840. The excavation and erection of the crypt, which heavily modified the interior of the domed church, took twenty years to complete, and was finished in 1861.
Inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the original for all baroque domes, the Dôme des Invalides is one of the triumphs of French Baroque architecture.
The interior of the dome was painted by Le Brun's disciple Charles de La Fosse with a Baroque illusion of space seen from below. The painting was completed in 1705.
The Tomb of Napoléon Bonaparte
The most notable tomb at Les Invalides is that of Napoléon Bonaparte (1769–1821). Napoléon was initially interred on Saint Helena, but King Louis Philippe arranged for his remains to be brought to France in 1840. Napoléon's remains were first buried in the Chapelle Saint-Jérôme in the Invalides until his final resting place, a tomb made of red quartzite and resting on a green granite base, was finished in 1861.
Some members of Napoleon's family, several military officers who served under him, and other French military heroes are also buried at Les Invalides.

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Will have to try though! In this case the letters scampered right up the height of the towering column above and back down to the base as we watched

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.

This relates to the previous black and white photograph. When I took my daughter on to the quay side that day she was immediately surrounded by photographers, 'freelancers' mainly, and this is one of the pics one of took. It appeared in the 1998 Northumbria Tourist Boards 'Going Places' Guide. I wish I had used colour that day to, but I have always been a b/w man. Her reaction to this photo? ''Why did you dress me like that ? How embarrassing! She is now a 17 year old music student. She attended La Sagesse Convent School in Newcastle.when this was taken, hence her stance,
I’ll relate to y’all, my beautiful readers, a simple tale of an ordinary average Central Texas Trumpet Case Bear. It was 95 degrees F (35 C) out of doors. Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear was about to go into heat exhaustion (symptom before heat stroke).
Alamo Basement Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring whispered to me, “We need to get frozen Margaritas into the little bear immediately before he goes into a coma and dies. Have you looked at the price of black market bears lately?” I pulled out the large container for the Ninja and fired it up.
After about quatro or cinco Margaritas necesitas, Little Texas Aggie Osa (bear) was starting to feel much, much better. At this point, there was a spilt Margarita. It’s not important who spilt the Margarita, but it did totally soak Little Texas Aggie Bear.
I for one, am not about to allow a trumpet case bear who smells of tequila and is all sticky, near my 1947 Rudy Mück jazz trumpet. I had two options — Take him out to the woods and shoot him or — give him a bath in the kitchen sink.
Bears know how to swim. In fact, they love water. In some states, they will come into your backyard and take the waters in your swimming pool or jacuzzi. There are videos on YouTube.
I sanitized the sink and prepared a nice, warm bubble bath for Little Texas Aggie Bear. He hesitantly lowered himself into the sink. He let out a “bear sigh” of pleasure. When I took out the camera, Little Texas Aggie Bear started to cry. “What’s wrong?” asked Alamo Basement Aggie Ring.
“It’s the bubble bath.” sobbed the little bear. “If anyone in the Trumpet Case Bear Union sees those photos, I’ll loose my certification and be forced to become the worst sort of bear ever — a tuba/Sousaphone case bear.”
I assured the little bear that no one would ever see any of these photos and think that he’s some sort of “Barbie Dream House” bear. This seemed to put him at ease and please him.
After I rinsed him a couple of times, Aggie Ring and I realized we had a very, very wet bear to deal with. “If you don’t get him dry soon. He’ll start to smell like wet dog!” said Aggie Ring.
My first thought was, “Well… the ceiling fan will get him dry! I’ll just hang him up by the neck to it.” Sadly, when I turned on the fan, Aggie Bear went flying across the room and onto the hard floor like a child who wasn’t strapped in properly in a Disney World wild ride.

Northern Ireland's association with the USAAF predominately relates to the training of bomber aircrew and the delivery, repair and servicing of aircraft. Yet for a brief period during 1942 the airfields at Eglinton and Maydown became home to two American Fighter Groups.
On 24 June 1942 an air echelon from the 52nd Fighter Group consisting of 200 Enlisted Men, 87 pilots and 3 medical officers left Grenier Field for overseas deployment. Sailing from New York they arrived at Liverpool first, before proceeding to their new home via Larne and arriving at Eglinton on 14 July. The ground echelon followed later, departing New York on 9 August and arriving at Glasgow before boarding the SS Manhattan for Belfast; finishing their journey to Eglinton by train and rejoining the air echelon there on 19 August. Together the air and ground echelons had a total personnel strength of 196 officers and 1531 other ranks. Overall the 52nd comprised of three Fighter Squadrons (FS) with the Groups HQ and the 4th and 5th FS based at Eglinton while the 2nd FS were stationed at nearby Maydown. Principal senior personnel included Colonel Dixon M. Allison, Commanding Officer; Captain G.W West Executive Officer; 1st Lieutenant J.E. Coward, Operations Officer and 1st Lieutenant R.F Keys and 1st Lieutenant R. Levine, Commanders of No.2 and No.4 Fighter Squadrons respectively.
Previously having flown the Bell P-39 Airacobra, the 52nd was allocated Supermarine Spitfires from RAF sources. To assist the Americans in conversion to the type, one RAF Flight Lieutenant was assigned to the 52nd HQ and one Flying Officer was allocated to each Fighter Squadron to provide instruction in Spitfire handling. In addition dual control Miles Master III trainers were made available for conversion training. On the whole the American pilots were very pleased with their new aircraft which gave them a new range of altitude, manoeuvrability and reliability, all of which had already been proven in combat. Yet the period of operations at Eglinton was not without its hazards, and records show a small number of accidents. However, these were chiefly of a minor nature, an example occurring on the 28 July when two Spitfires were involved in a ground collision. Unfortunately one fatality did occur, when on 11 August a Spitfire crashed near Portrush killing the Pilot, Second Lieutenant Earl L. Sharpe serving with the 4th FS. (Incidentally and the previous day, another Spitfire had made an emergency landing on the East Strand due to and engine fire.)
The 52nd Fighter Groups stay at Eglinton was relatively short lived, and by late August their onward move to three airfields in England had begun. Five C-47 transport aircraft arrived on the 24 August to collect equipment, while those aircraft assigned to the 2FS departed first, routing via Woodvale to RAF Biggin Hill. The next day 4FS left for RAF Kenley, while the administrative and support elements travelled to their new base at RAF Goxhill in Lincolnshire on the 26th, making the journey first by train to Larne, then by ferry to Stranraer, and concluding their journey again by train. Before its aircraft departed the squadron spent 10 days undergoing gunnery training at Ballyhalbert then leaving Eglinton for Goxhill with the remaining aircraft: the Fighter Groups total complement of 66 Spitfires and 4 Miles Masters having all now departed. However, before the end of the year Eglinton would host another Americans Fighter Group, the 82nd - this time flying the Lockheed P-38 Lightning.

Tips about how to Prevent Sewer Blockages from Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) in Horace, North Dakota
What exactly is FOG?
FOG relates particularly to fats, oils and grease getting into the sewer system when put down drain pipes in houses, apartments rentals, eating places, market and public venues.
As a end result of cooking, FOG is normally present in:
Baking goods
Butter, lard, shortening
Cooking oil
Fats and oil from cooked meats
Food scraps
Gravy
Mayonnaise
Salad dressings
Sauces
Sour cream
Why is FOG an issue?
Obstruction can cause sewer line overflows in your yard. More often than not, fats, oils and grease are discarded incorrectly in the course of preparing food and kitchen area clean-up. When put down the sink (drain or floors), FOG can accumulate and form up, obstructing clean sewer lines. This build up but not only cuts down on the capability with the wastewater collection system, additionally it changes its usefulness.
In serious instances, obstruction can result in:
Sewage back ups into businesses and homes and
Sewers that flood on to roads and real estate, ultimately pass into nearby rivers, leading to contaminants.
How will you assist?
The simplest way to resolve the grease issue and assist to stop overflows of raw sewage would be to keep this substance out from the sewer system. As a result of education and learning and also by implementing specific behavior, you can easily reduce FOG places in your own home.
In the kitchen area, fats, oils and grease (FOG) will come mainly from pre-rinsing pots and pans or cleaning cookware. When cooking food FOG is permitted to go down the sink, it cools down within the wastewater system and stays with plumbing, making FOG accumulation. The accumulation leads to blockages and backups in businesses and homes, wastewater overflows, and leaks on personal residences, roadways, and local surface areas. FOG accumulation also raises the expense of sustaining Horace wastewater treatment methods, therefore affecting prices and will also generate community health issues.
Suggestions to maintain your drainpipes fat-free:
Put cooled down fats, oils and grease in to a jar and place the jar inside the garbage. If you do not possess a pot, put aluminum foil in to a coffee mug or comparable, add FOG, let it cool and get rid of.
Prior to cleaning, make use of a paper napkin or paper hand towel to clean FOG from pots and pans and dump it inside the garbage.
Use kitchen sink strainers to capture food items waste materials.
Place food leftovers inside the garbage, not over the garbage disposer.
The easiest method to handle grease and fats will be to clean them off of or put them into storage containers and get rid of them in the garbage disposal. By no means place fats or grease down the kitchen sink drain pipes or in to the commode.
There’s a nationwide marketing campaign called “Can the Grease” all through the USA that promotes using correct removal of FOG.
Restaurants along with other business kitchen areas have to have grease traps or interceptors put in. These companies are controlled by inspection regularly by Local personnel. Make sure you call us to learn more.
Exactly what is a grease trap or grease interceptor and just how do you use it?
Grease traps and interceptors are units built to maintain Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) from getting into public sewage lines. They may be found inside of or outside of the kitchen area, based on the application. Generally, they are created to keep FOG-laden discharge for enough time for grease within the water to cool down, firm up and separate from the rest of the waste materials. When the grease has split up, it may be discarded correctly.
Should i use a grease trap or interceptor inside my eatery or food service business?
Any business that deals with any kind of food really should use a grease trap or interceptor. Even smaller food providers like coffee houses who serve items with dairy products need to use a grease trap or interceptor to help keep FOG from heading down the sink. A business will have to use a grease trap or interceptor if the side sewer line contains a visually apparent build up of fat, oil or grease. Make reference to the most recent Standard Plumbing Code (offered at your public library) for dimensions requirements.
Just how much will a grease trap or interceptor cost and who should I contact to obtain one to get set up?
They range in price, based on dimension and application and will begin as little as a few hundred to thousands. Make sure you speak to a licensed pluming company in your community for costs.
Who decides if I require a grease trap or interceptor?
In the event your food company business deals with food items and washes pots and pans, you probably have to use a grease trap or interceptor. Your decision depends on the kind of use and decided upon from the professional and local staff.
Who is mainly responsible for setting up a grease interceptor?
Each and every business that deals with food items of any type – from your coffee house offering dairy along with milk products to your bistro preparing deep-fried meals – is likely releasing FOG. All food providers are accountable for putting in a unit to help keep FOG from getting into their side sewer line and also the general public sewer range.
What happens if I do not install a grease trap or interceptor?
If your business handles any food items which contains fat, oil and grease, you may ultimately experience a maintenance issue for instance a obstruction within the building sewer line. A obstruction can certainly create sewage back-up circumstance and consequently a possible health issue for your business. If the issue is within the building sewer line, then your business is directly accountable for having to pay for the clean-up fees and damage to property. A business can also be instructed to shut down the business until an examiner certifies all health problems are solved.
When the obstruction is incorporated in the public sewer main and Horace, North Dakota can validate how the methods of the particular business has resulted in the obstruction, then that business might have to pay for any public clean-up expenses, damage to property and public sewer servicing expenses to alleviate the obstruction. The business may also be instructed to put in a grease trap or interceptor or update a current system to intercept food and FOG.

How frequently do i need to thoroughly clean my grease trap/grease interceptor?
A grease trap or interceptor needs to be on a regular basis taken care of in order to meet the 25% Rule – no more than 25%, by volume, from the trap or interceptor ought to accumulate of food and FOG. If in excess of 25% of food and FOG build up within the trap or interceptor, it is more probable not to work correctly and releasing food and FOG to your building sewer line as well as the public sewer system. Exclusions to the 25% Rule are suitable for devices that can keep greater than 25% FOG and will also be exclusively produced in the manufacturers specs.
Every business ought to figure out a particular cleaning routine that suits their organization. Some organizations will have to clean their trap or interceptor more frequently than others. It is very important to keep in mind that using kitchen very best management methods, like scraping your dishes, cooking pots, and pans, will decrease the volume of food and FOG that release right into a trap or interceptor, consequently reducing the regularity for cleaning.
Just how do i keep clean and maintain my grease trap/grease interceptor?
Grease trap maintenance is generally done by maintenance employees or any other workers from the business. Grease interceptor (GI) maintenance, that is generally done by authorized haulers or recyclers, includes taking out the total quantity (liquids and solids) from the GI and effectively getting rid of the FOG in compliance with all federal government, state, and/or local laws. When executed correctly and at the correct regularity, grease interceptor and trap maintenance can help reduce the release of FOG in to the wastewater collection system. The necessary routine maintenance frequency for grease interceptors and traps will depend on significantly on the volume of FOG a center yields together with any best management practices (BMPs) that the business utilizes to cut back the FOG released into its sanitary sewer system. In most cases, a business that utilizes BMPs will recognize financial advantage via a decrease in their needed grease interceptor and trap maintenance regularity.

As most people collect, they end up meeting interesting people that they can relate to. I've certainly met my share of them, and have managed to obtain a few pieces with some assistance from them. As a result, hailing all the4 way from Singapore, we have the Hot Toys Exclusive (whatever that means) Avengers 2: Age of Ultron - Maria Hill figure.
I know they weren't super expensive back in the day (MSRP I mean), but by the time Sideshow got their hands on it, this figure cost $215 USD, which definitely cost more than your run of the mill figure back in the day, all the while being less equipped than they were. I managed to snag one that was opened and resealed in a box for $170 USD shippped.
You get the figure, 3 pairs of hands, walkie talkie, Bluetooth earpiece, and a pistol. Oh, and the usual base/stand.
Now, I learned about Pleather deterioration, but completely forgot about how tropical weather like in Singapore would affect a figure. It's not the worst I've seen, as some of my Widows have similar damage, but they've lived in Canada all their lives.
But it is unfortunate seeing how I didn't exactly score this figure for Garage Sale prices. I'm hoping my coats of leather paint prevents things from getting worse.
What I wasn't expecting was the effect of humidity on paint in contact with plastic. Hot Toys gave the sculpt some lovely blush to accentuate her cheeks. Well, that all turned from pink to yellow, so it looks kinda weird.
Unfortunate, but I treat it as a learning lesson on things to look out for when I finally make my way back to Asia to unleash holy hell on the secondary toy market.
So with the downers out of the way, the rest of the figure is pretty standard. I believe Maria uses a slightly taller version of the Widow body, which is a bit tall and narrow in the torso, but overall is a closer match to Colbie Smulders than Scarlett Johansson.
Maria was made when they still made softer fabric uniforms. I'd describe the feel of what she's wearing as being whatever Jeggings are made from. The upper body generally has full use of its faculties - unfortunately the body doesn't have Butterfly style shoulders, which is unfortunate as Maria could have really used them, especially for her pistol and arm crossed poses. Legs are restricted despite the softer fabric, though isn't as bad as with Winter Soldier Black Widow.
The head sculpt I'm actually quite impressed with. It's not perfect - they never are and if anyone says so, they're probably just not looking hard at the thing... or in some instances, not looking at all. The eyes are off, and the sculpted hair throws things off. But ultimately, it comes down to the jaw being too square, even for Colbie Smulders. On the whole, however, its probably 70 - 80% there, which is a lot more than I can say about any Black Widow up to that point, and Hot Toys accomplished that with one try as well.
Paint, I'm not really in a position to comment on. But, it appears if you can see past the discoloration, you'll see that the usual high quality is there. Build Quality is the usual high level, with nothing falling apart aside from the Pleather.
Overall, despite being a simpler figure I have to say I certainly like this better than I liked AoU Widow, which was just.. weird from a MCU perspective as well as from a Hot Toy perspective. I'll probably have to hunt down a WS Nick Fury to pair with her, but this time I'll be sure to make sure everything is is one piece.

Colonial Williamsburg is the historic district of the independent city of Williamsburg, Virginia. It consists of many of the buildings that, from 1699 to 1780, formed colonial Virginia's capital. The capital straddled the boundary of two of the original shires of Virginia, James City Shire (now James City County), and Charles River Shire (now York County). For most of the 18th century, Williamsburg was the center of government, education and culture in the Colony of Virginia.
Colonial Williamsburg is meant to be an interpretation of a Colonial American city, with exhibits including dozens of authentic or accurately-recreated colonial houses and relating to American Revolutionary War history. Prominent buildings in Colonial Williamsburg include the Raleigh Tavern, the Capitol, The Governor's Palace, and Bruton Parish Church. However, rather than simply an effort to preserve antiquity, the combination of extensive restoration and thoughtful recreation of the entire colonial town facilitates envisioning the atmosphere and understanding the ideals of 18th century American revolutionary leaders. It was here that Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Monroe, James Madison, George Wythe, Peyton Randolph, and dozens more helped mold democracy in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States.
The Historic Area is located just east of the College of William and Mary, founded at Middle Plantation in 1693, just prior to the establishment of the town as capital of Virginia and its renaming. The university's historic Wren Building stands at the west end of Duke of Gloucester Street.
Colonial Williamsburg is a major source of tourism to Williamsburg, as well as a touchstone for many world leaders and heads of state, including U.S. Presidents. The United States hosted the first World Economic Conference at Colonial Williamsburg in 1983. It is the centerpiece of the surrounding Historic Triangle of Virginia area, which has become a popular tourist destination for visitors domestic and foreign. The other two points of the Historic Triangle are Jamestown and Yorktown.

Early in the 20th century, the restoration and recreation of Colonial Williamsburg, one of the largest historic restorations ever undertaken, was championed by the Reverend Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin and the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., along with the active participation of his wife, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, who wanted to celebrate the patriots and the early history of the United States.
Many of the missing Colonial structures were reconstructed on their original sites during the 1930s. Other structures were restored to the best estimates of how they would have looked during the eighteenth century, with all traces of later buildings and improvements removed. Dependency structures and animals help complete the ambiance. Most buildings are open for tourists to look through, with the exception of several buildings that serve as residences for Colonial Williamsburg employees.
Notable structures include the large Capitol and the Governor's Palace, each carefully recreated and landscaped as closely as possible to original 18th century specifications, as well as Bruton Parish Church and the Raleigh Tavern.
The major goal of the Restoration was not to merely preserve or recreate the physical environment of the colonial period, but to facilitate education about the origins of the idea of America, which was conceived during many decades before the American Revolution.
In this environment, Colonial Williamsburg strives to tell the story of how diverse peoples, having different and sometimes conflicting ambitions, evolved into a society that valued liberty and equality.

My titles don't relate to my pictures, my tags usually relate to what happened that day/what I write, I usually make a list, achieve one thing and then cant find the energy to do anything else. I am oficially on burnout. In the middle of the busiest weekend of my a-levels.
I have to decide between setting myself back and sleeping and then working more efficiently or not sleeping and not being able to work properly. But now I don't have the time to make the choice and I have landed were I am right now.
I still make pictures every day though, albiet within much smaller time frames recently but they still get made nonetheless. I know I will look back at this when the year is over and smile. It really isn't smile worthy at the minute but I intend this project to be a real visual journal, not just a collection of nice concepts and pictures. There will be those too though lol I hope :)
Again I forgot about my driving lesson this morning, slept in, woke up and got ready in a rush in hardly any time at all. I was worried that I would fail epically again after last week's horrendous effort. Got my head all worked up but just eventually had to slow down, ask for some help and go on. And what do you know I got only 5 minors. He said if I keep going like that I would pass with no problem :) Which was a nice confidence boost :)
The rest of the day consisted of finally filling out my student finance forms, got that done, just some financial details to sort with the parents and it can be sent off. I then took this picture. Got that done. Then somehow last.fm got on and nothing happened after that :/ No ICT coursework and no art final peice.
Coffee didnt help and I then deduced that my body is telling me to just go to sleep.
Sorry for writing so much, helps me remember where Im at when I can't remember lol
The above picture was a little experiment with trying to 'see' how something would look blurred, more specifically with a rotation of the camera as apposed to just moving it up/down/left/right. I was thinking along the lines of how last.fm halted all work so the guitar came into play :)
BIG trend.
Really hope you all had a nice day :)
Awesome stuff I found whilst listening to some funky tunes:
The Mindful eye - some decent education right there.
Bryan Adams - some very decent pictures indeed.
Nikola Tomovic - more incredible pictures.
ZOO magazine - no not that one :P music/art/fashion/movies and some nice pictures to boot! Also published by Mr Adams.
Kyrgyz aretfacts relating to the Yurt which was based at the Earth Centre, Conisbrough, Doncaster Museum of Sustainability 1999-2004
Yurts
For over a thousand years tents like the yurt and ger have been homes for the nomads of Central Asia.
The yurt was used as a classroom yurt and housed a fascinating exhibition on the sustainable and nomadic lifestyle of the Kyrgyz people.
The felt yurt was made for Earth Centre by a Yurt Master in Kyrgyzstan. The roof is steeply sloped to protect against the rain and snow in the high mountain regions where the nomads lived. The felt covers are laid on a trellis frame usually made of willow. The yurt is light and easy to put up, to pull down and to carry from place to place. It would have taken two camels to transport a yurt this size. Inside, the damp wool smell of the felt is quite distinctive.
The Kyrgyz nomads depended on their animals; sheep, especially, provided their main diet of milk and meat, the hides and wool for their clothing and felt, bones to make into utensils and toys and dung for fuel. Nothing was wasted in the nomadic lifestyle.
I’ll relate to y’all, my beautiful readers, a simple tale of an ordinary average Central Texas Trumpet Case Bear. It was 95 degrees F (35 C) out of doors. Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear was about to go into heat exhaustion (symptom before heat stroke).
Alamo Basement Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring whispered to me, “We need to get frozen Margaritas into the little bear immediately before he goes into a coma and dies. Have you looked at the price of black market bears lately?” I pulled out the large container for the Ninja and fired it up.
After about quatro or cinco Margaritas necesitas, Little Texas Aggie Osa (bear) was starting to feel much, much better. At this point, there was a spilt Margarita. It’s not important who spilt the Margarita, but it did totally soak Little Texas Aggie Bear.
I for one, am not about to allow a trumpet case bear who smells of tequila and is all sticky, near my 1947 Rudy Mück jazz trumpet. I had two options — Take him out to the woods and shoot him or — give him a bath in the kitchen sink.
Bears know how to swim. In fact, they love water. In some states, they will come into your backyard and take the waters in your swimming pool or jacuzzi. There are videos on YouTube.
I sanitized the sink and prepared a nice, warm bubble bath for Little Texas Aggie Bear. He hesitantly lowered himself into the sink. He let out a “bear sigh” of pleasure. When I took out the camera, Little Texas Aggie Bear started to cry. “What’s wrong?” asked Alamo Basement Aggie Ring.
“It’s the bubble bath.” sobbed the little bear. “If anyone in the Trumpet Case Bear Union sees those photos, I’ll loose my certification and be forced to become the worst sort of bear ever — a tuba/Sousaphone case bear.”
I assured the little bear that no one would ever see any of these photos and think that he’s some sort of “Barbie Dream House” bear. This seemed to put him at ease and please him.
After I rinsed him a couple of times, Aggie Ring and I realized we had a very, very wet bear to deal with. “If you don’t get him dry soon. He’ll start to smell like wet dog!” said Aggie Ring.
My first thought was, “Well… the ceiling fan will get him dry! I’ll just hang him up by the neck to it.” Sadly, when I turned on the fan, Aggie Bear went flying across the room and onto the hard floor like a child who wasn’t strapped in properly in a Disney World wild ride.

Copy of last will and testament of Charles Bird 26 January 1937 Rochester, NY naming his wife Lele Best Bird also names sister Ellen Amos of Dawlish, England who was to receive $10,000.

Several stories circulate relating to this grave, all alas, unsubstantiated. The most popular version appears to stem from a small plaque which one adorned the headstone and bore the following legend...
"it is alleged that this is the grave of a gypsy boy who, while tending sheep, fell asleep in a dike. In remorse he hanged himself because he feared to return to his tribe"
Unwritten tradition maintains that his fear was founded on his belief that, whilst asleep, one of his sheep had strayed. All however were found to be safe when counted home.
Recent researches, would appear to indicate that this story owes its origins to a claim that the original incident was chronicled in the 'Bury and Norwich Post', even giving an approximate date...1841. Substantial research has, to date, failed to identify this account, and part of the original claim verges on pure fantasy.
Prior to 1974 the grave was surrounded by ratten cane hoops similar to those used to fabricate the backs of certain chairs. To these, it is alleged, passing gypsies, on their way to Newmarket races, would tie ribbons corresponding to the colours of the predicted winner of the next big race.
Also about this time, stories began circulating about the mysterious maintenance of the site. Fresh flowers were regularly seen, new vases appeared and the grass was kept close-cropped. Gypsies remorseful of the lad's death, pixies, fairies and sympathetic locals were all attributed with it's upkeep. The reality however, was in fact far more mundane. A lady from Northolt in Middlesex, concerned at the graves apparent neglect, made fortnightly trips to the site.She errected a wooden cross on the grave which bore the words...
To Joseph
An unknown Gypsy Boy
R. I. P.
She subsequently confided that she selected the Mythical name Joseph because of its biblical connections, being that of Mary's husband.
Recently, that cross was replaced by the one pictured above which reads simply:
"Gypsy Boy"
Today it is known that gypsies pay scant regard to the grave, indeed their knowledge would also appear to have been gained from published sources.
Location
The grave, now surrounded by a simple chain link fence, still bears the simple wooden cross which carries the short epitaph. It lies immediately behind the signpost at the crossroads where the Chippenham to Moulton road cosses the one linking Kentford and Newmarket
