The cabinet is full. I don't think I could fit anything else in there if I tried. In fact, I still need to relocate the air pump hanging on the door, since I added plumbing where it used to go with the door closed.
There are probably about 47 ways I could have done this better. But I couldn't think of any of them.
The pump is now in the bucket on the left. The two buckets are plumbed together using Uniseals (I am coming to *love* Uniseals, except for when I'm trying to shove something into them).
There's a tee to split off to an over-the-side overflow/inlet into the 5-gallon tank in the center. It's got a complicated (for my brain, anyway) loop configuration to keep the water level in the tank from dropping below a certain point, because I plan to put plants and stuff in there.
There's a 1/4" tube inserted into it up to the highest point, and connected to a tiny fountain pump that I kind of jury-rigged so I could control where it pulled water in from. It sucks water in through the 1/4" tube, which theoretically (depending on how much air it can handle without my intervention) will keep the siphon primed. It also creates a small amount of inflow into the small tank, which then flows back out through the siphon, since right now the water level in the buckets is very low.
The water level in the buckets is low because I want to make sure nothing's going to leak before I add any more.

Part of any culvert project includes relocating fish and other aquatic species downstream of the project area. During this work through Gribble Creek on SR 9 in Skagit County more than 3,000 Coho salmon, Cutthroad trout, newts, salamandars, crawdads and more were removed and relocated downstream.
We're relocating 50 endangered Pacific pocket mice to their historic habitat in Orange County, California. This is the first introduction since 30 mice were brought in for the breeding program in 2012. Pacific pocket mice are critical to their ecosystem because they disperse the seeds of native plants. They also dig burrows that hydrate and increase nutrient cycling in the soil that encourages growth of native plants.

WonderCon, a comic/anime convention held every March in San Francisco, had to relocate to Anaheim for 2012, due to San Francisco's Moscone Center being closed for renovations. Anaheim Convention Center was very poorly prepared for the logistics, I must say, but all the great cosplay more than made up for the shortcomings.
Prism Comics, the association of LGBT comics in Southern California. I love its logo: "Homo Superior." One downside (at least for me) is that this association is very male-dominated - there are only three women, two of them transgender. I am visiting WonderCon on a guest pass provided by one of the transwomen here (also a presenter, not to mention my good personal friend), Tara Avery.
Welcome to Tuesday.
You are welcome to it.
And something exciting happening later, but for now, there is the usual, get up, get dressed, drink coffee and be ready for work at seven.
Jools wasn't going swimming, so she had a shower then got dressed before heading off just before seven.
When we looked out the back of the house, the sky was black with cloud, except for a small band of clear sky just above the trees on the other side of the valley, and in that gap was the blood red sliver of the waning moon.
And was then gone.
And so with Cleo watching on, I set up the office.
I learn that Denmark at two inches of snow and is still very cold. We actually are due to have sunshine, though ten degrees cooler than a week before.
Now the interesting bit.
At the end of the Deal Road into Dover, is the Duke of York's roundabout with the Duke of York's pub behind it. Why'd they have that name?
Well, behind both is the Duke of York's Military School, a huge site stretching from here to Fort Bergoyne, then to Guston. The school was founded here in 1909 and was a place where the children of military personnel were taught while their parents were posted, probably overseas.
It is still 100% for boarders, but no longer under the control of the MOD, but has a strong military ethic. I'm not going to judge.
Anyway.
The project to photograph Kent churches is mainly for parish church, but if I can get to see otheres: RC, Baptist or whatever, I'll take it.
Last September, for the first time, The Duke of Yorks Military School took part in Heritage Weekend. Sadly, I found out too late to get on a tour, but I struck up e mail correspondence with the organiser and he agreed that I could come and take shots.
Clashes of dates meant that I had to wait two months, but today was the day, and weather full of low winter sunshine. Although shadows inside were very striking.
The school was built here when it moved from Chelsea in 1909, designed by Sir Henry Tanner in the "Hampstead Garden Suburb" style. The entire complex is pretty much of all the same date and style, with the exception of two newer academic buildings.
Focal point is the large clock tower, which has just been renovated.
The chapel has several war memorials dedicated to pupils who gave their lives for their country.
I was met at reception after driving round the ring road past the athletics track and several of the boarding houses. I was met by the guy I had been writing to, he guessed I was Ian as I was laden with camera gear.
The chapel was on the other side of the road, and is a fine example of early 20th century design, the rest of the school is all of a similar style too.
He lets me get on with my task of taking shots, while he tells me some of the history of the school and chapel.
It is very well maintained, with a fairly new rood, but the rest is original and very well kept.
I took a 100 shots or so, said thanks and was gone, all in under an hour.
I went to Tesco to buy unch and came away with: a turkey and stuffing sandwich, a spicy bean wrap and a pack of spicy paprika crisps. Don't shop when you're hungry, kids.
Back home for lunch and back to work, where not much had happened.
On the tellybox at the same time as working, Saudi beat Argentina 2-1 after being a goal down.
Football, eh?
And then two dull 0-0 draws, so once work was done, I decided to go out for a walk.
Not far, just up and down the four streets in the estate, nearly 6,000 steps.
Feeing better.
We had warmed through stuffed peppers again for dinner, and were again totes amazeballs.
As was the wine.
And there was time for one more game to watch as music played on the cat's whiskers.
Phew.

In 1801, His Royal Highness Frederick Duke of York laid the foundation stone in Chelsea of what was to become The Duke of York's Royal Military School, a school for the children of military personnel which opened in 1803. Then in 1909, the school relocated to its present site in Dover, Kent and in 2010, we became the first full state boarding academy, opening our doors to any family wishing to choose this unique and iconic school for their child’s secondary education.
History of the Vienna Hofburg
First residence
(further informations you can get by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
With the elevation of Austria to Archduchy in 1156 Vienna became city of residence. From the residence of the Babenberg which was located on the present site "Am Hof", unfortunately there are no more remains left. After the extinction of the Babenberg, King Ottokar II Přemysl of Bohemia (1230-1278) took over by marriage the rule in Vienna and began in 1275 with the construction of a castle within the city walls of Vienna. This castle was equipped with four towers around a rectangular court that is known today as the Schweizerhof (Swiss court). In the fight for the German crown Ottokar was defeated at the Battle of Dürnkrut (Lower Austria) by Rudolf I of Habsburg (1218-1291) and killed during the retreat.
As the old residence of the Babenberg burnt about 1276, Rudolf probably in 1296 moved to the former castle of Ottokar 1279. The descendants of Rudolf extended the castle only slightly: chapel (documentary mention in 1296), St. Augustine's Church (consecrated in 1349), reconstruction of the chapel (1423-1426) . Due to the division of the lands of the Habsburgs, Vienna lost its importance and it also lacked the financial resources to expand the castle.
Imperial residence
Under Frederick III. (1415-1493) acquired the Habsburgs the imperial title and Vienna became an imperial residence. But Friedrich and his successors used the Vienna Residence rarely and so it happened that the imperial residence temporarily orphaned. Only under Ferdinand I (1503-1564) Vienna again became the capital of the Archduchy. Under Ferdinand began a large construction: the three wings of the existing Swiss court were expanded and increased. The defensive wall in the northwest was as fourth wing with the Swiss Gate (built in 1552 probably by Pietro Ferrabosco ) rebuilt. In the southwest was a tract for Ferdinand's children (the so-called "children Stöckl (Kinderstöckl)") added. The newly constituted authorities Exchequer and Chancery were domiciled in adjacent buildings at Castle Square. There were also an art chamber in the castle, a hospital, a passage from the castle to St. Augustine's Church and a new ballroom.
First major extensions of the residence
In the area of the "desolate church" built Ferdinand from 1559 a solitary residence for his son. However, the construction was delayed, and Maximilian II (1527-1576) moved after his father's death in 1564 in the old castle. He had his residence for his Spanish horses in a Hofstallgebäude (Court stables building - Stallburg) converted and from 1565 increased.
Ferdinand I decided to divide his lands to his three sons, which led to a reduction of Vienna as a residence. Moreover, resided Maximilian II, who was awarded apart from Austria above and below the Enns also Bohemia and Hungary, readily in Prague and moved also the residence there. In 1575 he decided to build a new building opposite the Swiss court for the royal household of his eldest son, Rudolf II (1552-1612). The 1577 in the style of the late Renaissance completed and in 1610 expanded building, which was significantly fitted with a turret with "welscher hood" and an astronomical clock, but was inhabited by the governor of the Emperor (Archduke Ernst of Austria). However, the name "Amalienborg Castle" comes from Amalie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (wife of Joseph I) that in 1711 there established her widow's home.
In the late 16th and early 17th Century only a few extensions were carried out: extension of a separate tract in the northeast of the castle for the treasure and art chamber (1583-1585) as well as setting up of a dance hall in the area of today's Redoutensäle (1629-1631).
Under Leopold I the dance hall war rebuilt of Ludovico Burnacini 1659/1660 into a at that time modern theater ("Comedy House"). 1666 Leopold I had in the area of today's castle garden a new opera house with three tiers and a capacity of 5,000 persons built.
In the 1660-ies was under Leopold I (1640-1705) between the Amalienbourg and the Schweizerhof, the so-called Leopoldine Wing (Leopoldinischer Trakt), according to the plans of architect Filiberto Lucchese an elongated Flügelbau (wing building) built. Since, however, the tract shortly after the completion burned down, it has been newly built and increased by Giovanni Pietro Tencala. Due to its architectur, this tract connects yet more to the late Renaissance. The connection with the Amalienborg Castle followed then under Leopold's son, Joseph I (1678-1711).
After completion of the Leopoldine Wing the in the southeast of the castle located Riding School was restored, the south tower of the old castle razed, the old sacristy of the castle chapel replaced by an extension. Under Charles VI. (1685-1740) the gatehouse between the Castle Yard and carbon market (Kohlmarkt) by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt was transformed into a monumental triumphal portal as a representative signum of the imperial power. However, this construction does not exist anymore, it had to give way to the Michael tract.
Baroque redesign of the Hofburg
In the early 18th Century began an intense construction activity. The Emperor commissioned Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach with the construction of new stables outside the city walls as well as a new court library.
After the death of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach whose son Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach took over the supervision of the stables and the Imperial Library. 1725 the palatial front of the stables was completed. Since yet during the construction period has been noted that the stables were too smal dimensioned, the other wings were not realized anymore. The with frescoes by Daniel Gran and emperor statues of Paul Strudel equipped Court Library was completed in 1737.
Opposite of the Leopoldine Wing was supposed to be built a new Reich Chancellery. 1723 Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt was commissioned with the design. 1726, however, the Reich Chancellery was withdrawn the supervision and is was transferred to the Chancery and thus to Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, who also designed the adjacent court chamber and the front to St. Michael's Church. 1728 were finished the court chamber and the facade of the two buildings. By Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach was also planned the Michaelertrakt, the connection between the Winter Riding School and Reichskanzleitrakt (Imperial Chancellery Tract). However, since the old Burgtheater building was in the way, this was half done for a period of 150 years and was only completed in 1889-1893 by Ferdinand Kirschner.
Under Maria Theresa (1717-1780) was the at St. Michael's Square located and only as remnants existing Ballhaus (ballhouse) adapted as a court theater. Beside the Kaiser hospital therefore a new ballhouse was built, which was name giving for the Ballhausplatz. Subsequently, there were over and over again modifications and adaptations: reconstruction of the comedy hall according to the plans of Jean Nicolas Jadot into two ballrooms, the small Redoutensaal and the large Redoutensaal (ball room) (1744-1748). The transformation of the two halls (since 1760), repair of the Court Library and since 1769 the design of the Josefsplatz followed under Joseph Nicolas of Pacassi. These buildings were completed by the successor of Pacassi Franz Anton Hillebrandt. As an extension building for the Royal Library was built in the southeast the Augustinian tract.
Other structural measures under Maria Theresa: establishment of the court pharmacy into the Stallburg, relocation of the in the Stallburg accommodated art collection to the Upper Belvedere, demolition of the remaining two towers of the old castle, the construction of two stairways (the ambassadors (Botschafterstiege) and the Säulenstiege (pillar stairway).
Extensions in the 19th Century and early 20th century
Francis II (1768-1835) gave Albert Duke of Saxe-Teschen and his wife Marie Christine (daughter of Maria Theresa), the Palais Tarouca south of the Augustinian monastery. From 1800 this was remodeled by Louis Montoyer and by a wing building expanded to the today's Albertina.
1804 proclaimed Francis II the hereditary Empire of Austria and was thus as Francis I the first Austrian emperor. With the by Napoleon Bonaparte provoked abdication of the emperor in 1806 ended the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
1809 part of the old bastions by the castle was blown up as a consequence of the war with Napoleon and afterwards razed. Towards to the today's ring road then new outworks were layed out (the so-called Hornwerkskurtine and the Escarpen). In the early 20's of the 19th Century were created three gardens: the private Imperial Castle Garden with two by Louis von Remy planned steel/glass-constructed greenhouses, Heroes Square with boulevards and the People garden with the Theseus Temple (Pietro Nobile). At the same time arised also the new, by Luigi Cagnola in 1821 begun and 1824 by Pietro Nobile completed outer castle gate.
1846 was built a monumental memorial to Francis I in the Interior Castle Square. In the turmoil of the 1848 Revolution the Stallburg was stormed and at the outer castle square as well as the castle gate fiercely fought. In the process burned the roof of the court library. The political consequences of the revolution were the abdication of Emperor Ferdinand I (1793-1875), the dismissal of the dreaded Chancellor Clemens Lothar Prince Metternich and the coronation of Ferdinand's nephew Franz Joseph.
In the first years of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I (1830-1916) were converted the court stables by Leopold Mayer and expanded. As part of the expansion of the city, the city walls were razed and it emerged in place of the fort complex space for a magnificent boulevard, the Ringstrasse (Ring road). 1862, was born the idea of an Imperial Forum of architect Ludwig Förster. On the surface between the Hofburg and the Imperial Stables should arise Court Museums (Art and Natural History Museum).
At the outer Castle Square (today's Heldenplatz) were in the 60-ies of the 19th Century the by Anton Dominik Fernkorn created equestrian statues of Archduke Charles (defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Aspern-Essling) and Prince Eugene of Savoy (victor over the Turks in several battles) set.
After an unsuccessful architectural competition on the design of the Heroes square area in 1869 Gottfried Semper could be won. This led to the involuntary and not frictionless collaboration with Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer. Planned was a two-wing building over the ring road away with the two flanking twin museums (Art and Natural History Museum) and the old stables as a conclusion. 1871 was started with the Erdaushebungen (soil excavations) for the museums. 1889, the Natural History Museum was opened,1891 the Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum).
On a watercolor from 1873 by Rudolf Ritter von Alt (1812 - 1905), an overall view of the Imperial Forum is shown
1888 the Old Court Theatre at St. Michael's Square was demolished as the new KK Court Theatre (today's Burgtheater) by Gottfried Semper and Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer built, was finished. The since150 years existing construction site at St. Michael's Square could be completed. The roundel got a dome, the concave curved Michaelertrakt was finalized by Ferdinand Kirschner. The once by Lorenzo Mattielli created cycle of statues on the facade of the Reich Chancellery was continued with four other "deeds of Hercules" sidewards of the drive-through arches. 1893, the Hofburg had finally its last magnificent decorative facade .
1901, the old greenhouses were demolished and replaced by an orangery with Art Nouveau elements according to plans of Friedrich Ohmann (finalization in 1910). In 1907, the Corps de Logis, which forms a closure of the new castle, completed. Since Emperor Franz Joseph I in the budding 20th Century no longer was interested in lengthy construction projects and the Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este (1863-1914) spoke out against the establishment of a throne hall building, but spoke for the construction of a smaller ballroom tract, the implementation of the second wing was dropped. After the assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este in Sarajevo, the First World War broke out. Franz Joseph I died in 1916. A great-nephew of Franz Joseph I, Charles I (1887-1922) succeeded to the throne, however, that he only occupied two years. The end of the First World War also meant the end of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. On 11th November 1918 the First Republic was proclaimed. As Karl in fact renounced of the businesses of government, but not the throne, he had to go into exile with his family.
The Imperial Palace in the 20th century
The interior design of the ballroom tract and the New Castle were continued despite the end of the monarchy to 1926. By the end of the monarchy, many of the buildings lost their purpose. Further on used or operated was the Riding School. The stables were used from 1921 as the Wiener Messe (Fair) exhibition grounds ("Messe palace"). In 1928, the Corps de Logis, the Museum of Ethnology, by then part of the Natural History Museum, opened. 1935 came the weapons collection (court, hunting and armour chamber) of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in the New Castle.
1933/1934 the outer castle gate by Rudolf Wondracek was transformed into a hero monument to the victims of the First World War. 1935 emerged left and right of the castle gate pylon portals with eagle sculptures of Wilhelm Frass. In March 1938, the Heroes' Square and the balcony of the Neue Burg gained notoriety after Adolf Hitler announced to the cheering crowd at the Heldenplatz the annexation of Austria to the German Reich. The Nazis were planning a redesign of the Heroes' Square to a paved parade and ceremony space. The plans were not realized since 1943 a fire pond at Heldenplatz was dredged and the place was later used for agriculture. In the Trade Fair Palace were held during the period of the Nazism propaganda events.
During the war, the Imperial Palace (Stallburg, St. Augustine's Church, Albertina, the head office of the Federal President, the current building of the Federal Chancellery) was severely damaged by bomb hits: The first President of the Second Republic, Dr. Karl Renner, moved in 1946 the Office of the President to the Leopoldine Wing (in the former living quarters of Maria Theresa and Joseph II).
During the time of occupation the seat of the Inter-Allied Commission was housed in the Neue Burg.
1946 again were held first events in the Exhibition Palace and have been set up two large exhibition halls in the main courtyard of the fair palace. In the course of the reconstruction the damages of war were eliminated and the Imperial Palace repaired, the castle stable were built again. In 1958 in the ballroom wing was set up the convention center, 1962-1966 the modern Library of the Austrian National Library housed in the Neue Burg.
For the first time appeared in 1989 the concept of a "Museum Quarter". The Museum district should include contemporary art and culture. The oversized design of Laurids and Manfred Ortner but was redimensioned several times after the resistance of a citizens' initiative. The implementation followed a decade later.
1992 the two Redoutensäle completely burned out. Yet shortly after the fire was began with the reconstruction. The roof was extended and the small ball room could be restored. The big ball room, however, was renovated and designed with paintings by Josef Mikl. In 1997 the two halls were reopened.
From 1997-2002 the Museum Quarter (including Kunsthalle Wien, Leopold Collection) was rebuilt and the old building fabric renovated.
1999 was began with the renovation of the Albertina. The for a study building, two exhibition halls and an underground storage enlarged museum was reopened in 2003. The Albertina ramp was built with an oversized shed roof by Hans Hollein.
In 2006, in the area of the boiler house yard were created additional rooms for the convention center.

Images of some of the original Robotic, Science and Interactive Art Exhibits that MRISAR’s R&D Team has designed and fabricated.
In 2010 MRISAR, (a business that has Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of “Internationally Renowned & Awarded, World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices”; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits), purchased a disused school on the plains of North Dakota and relocated to it. Profit from their International Exhibit Sales helps fund their Humanitarian R&D and the transformation of the 36,000 sq. ft. complex, surrounded by 10 acres in North Dakota, into a World-Class “Interactive, Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
Description of MRISAR’s “Interactive; Robotics, Technology, Invention, Art & Nature Center”.
1- Our 7,000 sq. ft. Exhibit Hall will feature; our standard line of interactive robotic & technology exhibits that we sell to Centers world-wide and our exclusive collection of robotic exhibits & devices that we will not sell to anyone else. Our talking Rail Robot Guide will lead visitors through the exhibit hall. Interact with our innovative, lifelike, futuristic, Robotic creations. Examples; Play with & feed Artificial Life forms in a Robot Zoo! Challenge robots with your human intelligence! Interact with otherworldly artistic, interactive, robotic sculptures! It will also feature Responsible Technologies.
2- Our Art Galleries will display the hundreds of pieces of family friendly, original 2D, 3D and Interactive Art that our team has already created, plus have revolving Family Oriented Local Artists Exhibitions.
3- The surrounding 10 acres is slowly being transformed into an Outdoor Interactive Art & Nature Area that will be filled with paths, trees, gardens and kinetic & interactive, solar & wind, technological art sculptures. The emphasis is edible, medicinal & organic landscapes that promote sustainability & health. As of 2015 over 3,000 edible and medicinal trees and shrubs have been planted.
4- We will provide “Special Tours” of behind the scenes areas. Examples are; (a) our Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development Think Tank Invention labs that feature our R & D Projects. (b) the actual workshops where the attractions are created (similar to visiting the workshops & creations of Jim Henson’s creature shop). (c) a behind the scenes view of the production studio for the web series we are creating called the “Mysterious Lab of Robotics” (our robotic version of “Bill Nye the Science Guy” or “Beakman’s World”). (d) a chance to meet MRISAR’s internationally renowned robotics R & D team. A four member family team who since 2000 has designed, fabricated & marketed the earth’s largest selection of world-class robotic exhibits. The 2 youngest members joined the team as preschoolers.
5- “Public Enrichment Events”. Examples are; (a) special overnight events called “A Night with the Robots” (available no-where else in the world). Families can make reservations to spend the night on the center floor in sleeping bags or cots and experience special robotic demonstrations in a futuristic atmosphere. In recent years “A Night at the Museum” events have become very popular and highly accepted. (b) special classes on robotics for the general public. (c) Robotics Competitions. We are already providing technical assistance to teachers and academic establishments (both in the state and outside of the country), that are trying to enter robotic competitions, but lack the knowledge to fully instruct and inspire their students. A natural progression for this, once we are open for tourism, would be to offer to hold regional, national and international competitions at our location. (d) International conferences regarding Robotics and Beneficial R & D Conferences. (e) Collaborations, enrichment classes and internships in enhanced technologies with higher academic establishments; combining elements such as Cybernetics, Bionics, Mechatronics, Autonomics, Animatronics & Teleoperation.
6- Admission will be free to the underprivileged. We hope to inspire the upcoming generation to create careers in responsible technologies that improve the quality of life.
7- The proceeds from the Center will help fund our R & D and further our creation of a “Prototype Environment, low cost, low impact, self-sustaining, alternative energy powered, Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development institute with Think Tank Invention labs”. Our purpose is to invent and present responsible, low cost and easy to implement, beneficial humanitarian and environmental based technologies and methods that assist with social, ecological, sustainable and economic solutions. Accomplishing the prototype environment alone requires research & development of new technologies & improvement of existing technologies.
We have Designed, Fabricated & Marketed the Earth’s Largest Selection of "Internationally Renowned & Awarded" World-Class Robotics Exhibits & Devices; and “Hands On” Scientific, Technological & Interactive Art Exhibits. Our innovative, interactive, inexpensive, durable & easy to maintain creations incorporate interactive technologies & designs for people with disabilities and other special needs.

When a relationship takes the next step and cohabitation is on the table it will mean joining households from silverware to #furniture. Thinking about doing it and even planning a housewarming party is fun until it is time to pack up one household goods to merge it with the other partner's belongings. This is when some tips for moving are extremely helpful.
The Reasons
Deciding to move in together might be an easy decision, but it should also be for the right reasons. Spending time at a partner's house and keeping a toothbrush there is not enough of a reason in the scheme of things. Just like both people saving on rent is not a good reason even if half of the time together is spent at one person's home, since the other half of the time is spent separately. #Moving in together will change the dynamic of the relationship, which means there should be a real discussion about if it is the right time to move the relationship forward.
Moving to Where?
Once the decision is discussed and it is agreed the reason to move in together is to further the relationship. The next step the next decision will need to be whose home to move into or will you both move to a new house. When moving to a new house there is the advantage of having the feeling of "our home" rather than their house or my house. It is a shared home, instead of a house that is already decorated, furniture and other #household items in place with the person moving in only merging their belongings. There is no feeling of room being made in a dresser drawer or closet, instead with a new place it is putting everything together in its place. It is a blending of two separate lives and this will mean packing up both households into Cardboard Boxes.
The Fun Part of Adult Decisions
Moving in together can be exciting and fun to consider but then the reality of being an adult must be discussed. One topic should be whose name or will both be on the lease and utilities? This includes finances and how bills would be handled. This should be done prior to packing the first Cardboard Boxes or signing a lease. Will the rent and other bills be paid fifty-fifty or will the partner with a higher income help by paying extra? Who will be paying the bills and how will groceries be split and who will do the shopping? Whose name or will both names be on the utilities? Having this discussion is essential to avoid problems later after moving everything in and finding out these things create friction or worse by affecting credit when utilities are turned off.
The next part of the discussion should include the rules, such as who will be responsible for laundry, cleaning, taking out the trash and other chores. This may seem a silly part of the conversation but it is important to be clear who will be expected to be responsible or will all the chores be shared. Does one partner get home from work earlier than the other and can make meals? Does one partner have weekends off that will clean? Adult decisions are not always fun but are practical #conversations to have when moving into one house.
Decorating
Decorating is one of those situations that one partner may have ideas of what they want while not considering what the other person wants. This is another conversation that should be had to ensure both partners are happy about the move.
The other important part of moving in together is having a private space, whether it is to read, surf on the computer or does some kind of craft or hobby. Even people living together need some apart time when at home after the newness wears off.

Interceptor line relocation underway
CORONA, Calif. — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy participated in ground breaking ceremonies at the relocation of the Santa Ana River Interceptor line Oct. 11.
The SARI line is a regional sanitary sewer line that serves Yorba Linda, east Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley and portions of Garden Grove.
According to the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority, the SARI line was built nearly 40 years ago and was 20 feet below the surface. Decades of scouring and last year’s December storms threatened the line and required a reduced flow from Prado Dam and reinforcement by county workers at two locations to protect it.
“Thanks to our partners, this work will have a significant impact along the course of the Santa Ana River Mainstem project,” said Toy.
In support of the Mainstem project, Prado Dam’s flood basin has been increased by more than 140,000 acre-feet and river banks have been widened and strengthened below the dam to handle its new release capacity of 30,000 cubic feet per second, previously limited to 5,000 cfs.
The SARI line’s new course will mostly parallel State Route 91. Where it has to pass under the river, it will be well below the calculated scour depth for the estimated operational life of the project, which is 100 years.
As part of the ceremony participants got to sign a section of the 54-inch pipeline. Toy took the opportunity to endorse the project with the District motto, "Building Strong and Taking Care of People."

Evermine Labels – Elks Building Renovation Before and After photo 14 of 28
The Evermine Label Company was able to renovate and relocate their custom label manufacturing businesses to the former Elks building in downtown La Grande with the support of City of La Grande Urban Renewal Grant of $75,000. Future plans include ongoing renovation and adaptive reuse of the rest of this once iconic downtown building.
It’s been a busy year at the former Elks Building in downtown La Grande as Evermine Labels has turned this space into their new home and production space. What an incredible transformation.
We were thrilled to be able to support this redevelopment effort with a Call For Projects grant through the City of La Grande’s Urban Renewal program and grateful for the additional support from La Grande Main Street Downtown.
Throughout the project we’ve been privileged to be able to take an occasional tour and see the process over the last year. As the owners wrap up the Evermine space we are excited to see the upcoming transformation of the rest of this iconic downtown building when they begin work on the original Elks building portion of the space.

The northwest corner of a former landfill and dump known as "The Albany Bulb" is home to a number of magnificent, large-scale driftwood sculptures created by artists Osha Neumann and Jason De Antonis. This little spit of land. largely owned by the City of Albany, California, juts out into the San Francisco Bay from the eastern shore. It was originally a dump but since covered over with dirt and then by vegetation. Deemed toxic and neglected for many years, this unwanted trash heap was claimed by kindred spirits; fellow outcasts like homeless people and artists. The homeless, a population of fluctuating size, have created a scattered shanty town on 'The Bulb'. The City of Albany has made several attempts to relocate them but, due to the persistence of the population, it has of yet been unsuccessful. A documentary about the encampment called "Bum's Paradise" was released in 2003.
Kempe's east window at Tong attempts to recreate the lost medieval glass, using as reference the surviving fragments of four of the main figures (now relocated in the west window) and incorporating a few medieval fragments in the tracery lights.
St Bartholomew's church at Tong is not just one of Shropshire's finest parish churches, it is one of the best in the country. So much antiquity in carved stone and woodwork is contained within it's walls it is a veritable treasure house of medieval art. The most outstanding features are the superb collection of tombs with effigies to members of the Vernon family.
The church building itself would normally be ample reward, and impressive 15th century edifice crowned by battlements, pinnacles and an unusual octagonal central tower with a short spire. It's grand appearance is explained by it's former collegiate status, and ruins of the former college buildings can still be seen in the field immediately to the west.
Within it is somewhat cluttered with history, with many of it's original furnishings surviving, from the nave pews to the superb chancel stalls with a set of misericords and various other interesting carvings. The aisle screens survive too, and are adorned with some particularly fine foliage carving and traces of their original colouring. The medieval glass has mostly disappeared except for some significant fragmentary figures reset in the west window, these were used as reference by Kempe's studio when they created a new stained glass for the east window in the 1880s, incorporating reconstructions of the damaged original figures.
The monuments are too numerous to list here, the main group is concentrated at the east end of the nave and crossing with six major tombs with effigies (except one with brasses instead) all crowded together with little space between, mostly of the 15th and early 16th centuries (only one of the major tombs is post Reformation).
The finest feature of all is the beautiful fan-vaulted Vernon chantry chapel, built in 1515 on the south side, situated behind it's builder, Harry Vernon's tomb, which like the chapel ceiling retains many traces if it's medieval paintwork. The most unusual of Tong's medieval monuments is found on the west wall of this intimate space, the upper half of a figure emerging from a canopied niche, believed to be the portrait of Arthur Vernon who died in 1517.
The church is justly celebrated and much visited, and happily is normally open for visitors.

Because of how the blonde had a lot more surface damage, odor issues, loose elastic and balding spots, I decided that masking tape feet guy could have benefitted better from the parts than him.
So with a bit of yanking and crying, Masking Tape guy had the limbs of Blondie, and hands from an Obitsu male Normal body’s hands, which, btw has the perfect sized posts to fit into Vintage Joe arms.
Alpha Joe didn’t have much to do except I swapped out his hands with a pair of repro GI Joe hands so I’m pretty proud to have almost two complete Vintage Joes for Under $10. Their hair is pretty darn full of flocking too, I just need to carefully pick out the dust and lint that has matted it, as well as touch up their paint and scruffed noses.
poor Blondie though is just parts bait til i figure out what to do with him.
