The handwheel came off very easily. There are just two screws which hold the potted motor on the head and they are accessible once you remove the handwheel.
No visit to York would be complete without a walk around the City Walls. At 3.4 kilometres long, the beautifully preserved walls are the longest medieval town walls in England. About 2.5 million people walk along all or part of the City walls each year, enjoying some amazing views. The completion of the entire circuit will take approximately 2 hours. There are five main bars or gateways, one Victorian gateway, one postern (a small gateway) and 45 towers.
York City Walls
The city or ‘bar’ walls of York are the most complete example of medieval city walls still standing in England today. Beneath the medieval stonework lie the remains of earlier walls dating as far back as the Roman period.
The Roman walls survived into the 9th century when, in AD 866, York was invaded by the Danish Vikings. The Vikings buried the existing Roman wall under an earth bank and topped with a palisade – a tall fence of pointed wooden stakes.
The wooden palisade was replaced in the 13th and 14th centuries with the stone wall we see today.
The medieval city walls originally included 4 main gates or ‘bars’ (Bootham Bar, Monk Bar, Walmgate Bar and Micklegate Bar), 6 postern or secondary gates and 44 intermediate towers. The defensive perimeter stretched over 2 miles encompassing the medieval city and castle.
By the late 18th century, however, the walls were no longer required as defences for the city and had fallen into disrepair. In 1800, the Corporation of York applied for an Act of Parliament to demolish them. In addition to the poor condition of the walls at the time, the narrow gateways of the bars were inconvenient and the walls themselves hindered the city’s expansion.
Many other cities, including London, were removing their outdated, medieval city walls at this time. In York, however, the city officials met with fierce and influential opposition and by the mid-nineteenth century the Corporation had been forced to back down.
Unfortunately, the call for preservation came too late for some parts of the walls – the barbicans at all but one of the gateways (Walmgate Bar) had been torn down along with 3 postern gates, 5 towers and 300 yards of the wall itself.
Since the mid-nineteenth century the walls have been restored and maintained for public access, including the planting of spring flowers on the old Viking embankment. Today the walls are a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade 1 listed building.
Bootham Bar
There has been a gateway here for nearly 2000 years - Bootham Bar is on the site of one of the four main entrances to the Roman fortress.
The existing structure is not Roman but it has been around for quite a while. The archway itself dates from the 11th century and the rest of the structure is largely from the 14th century. In 1501 a door knocker was installed as Scots were required to knock first and seek permission from the Lord Mayor to enter the city.
The bar was damaged during the siege of York in 1644. Like Micklegate Bar, it was sometimes used to display the heads of traitors, the heads of three rebels opposing Charles II’s restoration were placed here in 1663.
Bootham Bar was the last of the gates to lose its barbican, demolished in 1835.
Fishergate Bar
1315AD - 1487AD
Fishergate Bar is one of six gateways in the city walls. It faces South towards Selby. Nearby used to be the large flooded area known as the King’s Fishpond.
‘Barram Fishergate’ is the first documented reference to the bar, in 1315. A central stone above the archway reveals the date of the current bar. It contains the York coat of arms and an inscription which reads:
‘A.doi m.cccc.lxxx.vii Sr Willm Tod knight mayre this wal was mayd in his days lx yadys’
This tells us that sixty yards of the wall, including the bar, was built in 1487 under Sir William Tod, mayor of York.
But just two years later, in 1489, Fishergate Bar suffered considerable damage in the Yorkshire peasants’ revolt against Henry VII. The rebels burned the gates of the bar after murdering the Earl of Northumberland. The gateway was bricked up soon after and wasn’t re-opened until 1834, to give better access for the cattle market.
Micklegate Bar
Micklegate Bar was the most important of York’s four main medieval gateways and the focus for grand events. The name comes from 'Micklelith', meaning great street.
It was the main entrance to the city for anyone arriving from the South. At least half a dozen reigning monarchs have passed through this gate and by tradition they stop here to ask the Lord Mayor's permission to enter the city.
The lower section of the bar dates from the 12th century, the top two storeys from the 14th. The building was inhabited from 1196. Like the other main gates, Micklegate Bar originally had a barbican built on the front, in this case demolished in 1826.
For centuries the severed heads of rebels and traitors were displayed above the gate, the many victims include Sir Henry Purcey (Hotspur) in 1403 and Richard, Duke of York in 1460. The last of the severed heads was removed in 1754.
Monk Bar
Monk Bar is the largest and most ornate of the bars, it dates from the early 14th century. It was a self-contained fortress, with each floor capable of being defended. On the front of the bar is an arch supporting a gallery, including 'murder-holes' through which missiles and boiling water could be rained down upon attackers.
Monk Bar has the city’s only working portcullis, in use until 1970. Like the other main gateways, Monk Bar originally had a barbican on the front. This was demolished in 1825.
The rooms above the gateway have had various uses over the years, including as a home and as a jail for rebellious Catholics in the 16th century.
The Red Tower
1490AD - 1491AD
The Red Tower, built in 1490, forms the only brick section of York’s famous city walls. Because it was built of brick its construction did not sit well with the local stone masons. So much so that it was the cause of dispute, and even murder.
The masons who worked on the majority of York’s walls and buildings were unhappy about the employment of tilers to build the Red Tower; their unhappiness led to them attempting to sabotage the building of the tower. The tilers had to ask for protection from the city council to stop the masons from threatening them and breaking their tools.
This protection made little difference, however. In 1491, the tiler John Patrik was murdered. Two leading masons, William Hindley and Christopher Homer, were charged with the murder but quickly acquitted.
The first recorded use of the name “The Red Tower” was in 1511, presumably in reference to its red brick colour rather than its bloody past.
Despite forming an important and unique part of the city walls, the Red Tower fell quickly into disrepair. It had to be repaired multiple times, notably in 1541 and 1545, and was in ruins by 1736. It was roughly restored in 1800 and became known as ‘Brimstone House’ – probably a reference to its former use as a manufactory for gunpowder. It has two storeys, and a garderobe. The way that the tower appears now is thanks to G F Jones’ restorations in 1857-8.
Walmgate Bar
Walmgate Bar is the most complete of the four main medieval gateways to the city, it is the only bar to retain its barbican, portcullis and inner doors.
Its oldest part is a 12th century stone archway, the walled barbican at the front dates from the 14th century, the wooden gates from the 15th century and the timber-framed building on the inside from the 16th century.
It was burned by rebels in 1489 and battered by cannon during the siege of 1644.
Baile Hill
William the Conqueror ordered two castles to be built in York, one on either side of the River Ouse.
They formed a defensive system in response to the recent violent unrest.
'York Castle' was later reinforced and eventually rebuilt in stone and so now appears much more substantial. But originally both castles were of a similar size and layout.
Baile Hill is the name given to all that remains of York's other castle. It was the man-made mound, or motte, of the castle.
Excavations in 1979 revealed remains of timber buildings and a strong fence at the summit of the mound, together with a staircase up one side. The surrounding bailey was defended by a bank of earth built on top of the original Roman city wall.
Barker Tower
This river-side tower was built in the 14th century. It was positioned at the boundary of the medieval city-centre and, in conjunction with Lendal Tower on the opposite bank, was used to control river traffic entering the city. A great iron chain was stretched across the river between the two towers and boatmen had to pay a toll to cross it. The chain also served as a defence for the city. As early as 1380 Thomas Smyth was named as the tower’s ‘keeper of the chain’.
For boats coming downstream it would be the second toll in quick succession; St Mary's Abbey had its own tower and toll collection system a little further up the river.
Barker tower was leased for long periods to various ferrymen (and at least one woman) who ran passengers across the Ouse until Lendal Bridge was built in 1863. The ferry ran 'in summer and winter, fair weather and foul, Sundays and weekdays'.
The ferry was put out of business when Lendal Bridge opened in 1863. The tower has had plenty of other uses over the years, including as a mortuary for a brief time in the 19th century.

From the journal of Jennaveve Grenouille:
They say time flies when you’re having fun. Conversely so, when you are not, time moves by at a snail’s pace. The past few wintery months drug by so painfully slow that I never thought I would know the warmth of another spring wind again. When winter began to set in, just after Angel was born, Phoenix and I discovered the true cause behind her illness.
You see, Phoenix was an experiment, intended to be a fierce soldier on the fields of battle. The scientists that irreversibly altered her genetics placed fail safes in her, should she ever turn rogue on them. She was different. She had always been different. Her curiosity and the gentle nature of her heart forever removed her from the fate that they had attempted to forge for her. She would find her own path in life, leaving that world far behind, but sadly the damage had already been done. Phoenix was created to be a warrior, not to be happy. Whenever she was happy, chemicals in her brain would begin working against her body, slowly killing her.
Her life with me worked against her, burning that candle ever faster at both ends, and more so after the birth of our daughter. It was having a family that made her happiest of all, and so with the joy we brought to her, we also carried her closer to death’s door. When we discovered this, she chose to simply endure, in the hopes that we could somehow find a way to undo what had been done. This was never to be. We tried so very hard to make things work, holding out hope as long as we could, but her health began to deteriorate at such a rapid rate that nothing we could do together could bring her back from that brink fast enough.
There was only one alternative left to us. Against everything our hearts desired, she decided it would be best if she left. If we couldn’t be happy together, then at least we could go on with the knowledge that we were still alive and in this world together. The day finally came when she could wait no longer, and she had to say the one word that I had hoped to never hear pass her lips. She said goodbye.
My heart shattered into a million pieces as the woman who had managed to capture my heart and soul so completely and make me feel worth something in this world walked out that door. I buried my feelings, holding out some last vestige of hope that somehow things would change. I would just wake up one morning to find this had all been some terrible dream and there she would be with that beautiful smile of hers, cradling our daughter in her arms and telling me everything was going to be all right.
At first, I still expected to find her around every corner; still looking for her as if she had just ran to the store or was out exploring like she loved to do. The first time Angel cried for her, calling out with every ounce of energy her tiny little lungs could manage, I broke down completely. It was by far the worst I had ever felt in my life. I wanted to scream at the heavens and ask God why.
Days continued to pass, and the pain of not having her there was still just as unbearable as when she first left. Angel sank into a depression, lashing out at everyone with fits of anger and frustration. She was taking things just as hard as I was, though I had to keep myself together for her sake. One night I decided to set her down and explain to her, as if she were an adult, why it was that ‘mommy’ couldn’t be home with us. I let her know that Phoenix still loved us both very much. I’m not sure she completely understood, but after that talk, she finally began to calm. She was easier to deal with, though she became very solemn and quiet. Angel stayed next to me every waking moment that I was home, as if she was worried that I would have to leave too.
Days became weeks, and it finally began to sink in for me. Phoenix wasn’t coming home again. She couldn’t. This was hard enough, but to see her once more only to have her ripped from our lives again would have been excruciating. There was no contact at all, until one day a letter arrived in the mail. It had no signature or return address, just a few words scrawled on a scrap sheet of paper. It read:
“Time doesn’t heal all wounds. It just becomes easier to deal with over time. You learn to cope with the cards that life has dealt you. Life never stops moving forward. You just have to be brave enough to endure what it throws at you and survive the best you can. Never lose faith and never lose hope. That’s the greatest gift you can pass on. Kiss Angel on the forehead and tell her how much she is loved every single day. Don’t relent. A day will come when you look up at the stars and realize that you don’t always have to win. You don’t always have to be the best. You don’t have to be anything in this world but you. Be that. Be you…and be happy Jenna. Be happy enough for the both of us.”
I felt numb. I felt so lost in the darkness that I might never find my way again. I did what one must though. I endured. I didn’t give up or give in. I worked at being a better mother for Angel. I started spending a lot more time at home. I began making efforts to stop being such a horrible workaholic. I moved out of the fancy home we had lived in together and settled back into the old ship. It was where we were always happiest anyways. I wanted Angel to learn to love the ocean as much as her mother.
One night, out at sea, as I held Angel in my arms, preparing to lay her down for the night, we gazed out of the window up at the night sky together. Peering upwards, the dark red clouds dissipated enough to reveal the blanket of darkness beyond. Amidst a field of barely visible stars, I saw the brightest full moon to grace the sky in many decades. Surrounding the celestial orb was a brilliant ring of blue and purple. Time seemed to stand still for us as the scent of the violet carsons, just beginning to blossom filled the air around us. Angel extended a hand to point at the vision above and I replied, “I see it, baby.”
She glanced up at me as a smile formed on her face, the straight smile her mother had always had. Her bright blue eyes began to flutter shut as she nodded off. Phoenix was with us. No matter where she went in this world or what she did with her life, she would forever be a part of our existence. We shared the same sky, and that would have to be enough. I would do my best to be happy enough for the both of us.
I made a promise to myself that night. I would do what I needed to in order to make life better for me and the one that depended on me the most, offering unconditional love as much as I received it. I would continue striving to better myself and make the world around us, in what tiny ways I could affect it, a better place to live in. Moving on in life is perhaps one of the hardest things a person will ever do, but I will forever be grateful for what little time I was allotted with those that matter most.
Some things, though perhaps not necessarily more important, take more precedence over other things, or other people…and sometimes you don’t have to explain it, but simply hope that those that know you understand why it is that you do the things you do and are the way you are. If they don’t, then maybe they never really knew you to begin with. If they do understand, then perhaps…just maybe…things will work out for the best for everyone involved. With enough faith, enough hope, and enough love…anything is possible.

Conducted by Milkwood Permaculture and facilitated by Tim Heard & Tony Goodrich the course covered aspects of Native stingless beekeeping including Basic biology, anatomy, diversity, distribution
Stingless bees: social behaviour, nest architecture, life cycle and reproduction. It also included practical bee keeping techniques such as splitting hives and extracting honey.
Rapunzel has been removed from the diorama. She is still attached to the some plastic spacers and the doll stand with wires, threads and T-tabs. She is stood up on the doll stand, next to the empty diorama, and outer box. Next to her feet is a paper plate with the packaging restraints that has been removed from her.
The outer box has been taken off and placed off camera. The inner front plastic lid is taken off, leaving Rapunzel in the diorama. She is still attached to the diorama, spacers and doll stand with wires, threads and T-tabs. The Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) has been taken out from under the diorama, and placed off camera.
The packaging of the LE Rapunzel consists of a heavy cardboard box with front and rear lids, with cutouts on four sides of the front lid. Inside there is an inner box, with a clear plastic front lid over a hinged heavy cardboard rear lid, with a painted scene from the Tangled movie. The inner rear lid I call the diorama. The Rapunzel doll is attached to the diorama with wires, plastic T-tabs, and threads. She is also attached to a plastic spacer and the doll stand, which supports her standing pose. There is no glue or tape holding the various lids together, so they can just be slid off during the deboxing.
Deboxing my newly acquired Rapunzel Limited Edition 17'' Doll by the Disney Store. It was sold exclusively by the Disney Store in an edition size of 5000 dolls in the US and UK.
From the description on the doll's box:
Tangled
Disney Store proudly presents the worldwide Limited Edition Rapunzel Doll. With its intricate details, this beautifully designed doll magically captures the beauty and spirit of the princess Rapunzel, from Disney's feature film Tangled. Inspired by Renaissance-era fashion, the richly detailed lace-up bodice is accented in delicate pink lace. The royal puffed sleeves feature luxurious gold piping details and cap flowing, delicately pleated arms, each of which is finished with a lovely lace border. A layer of organza covers a sumptuous deep purple satin skirt which is embellished in an all-over raised velvet pattern that is inspired by Rapunzel's many paintings in the film. Gleaming rhinestones and a sparkling glitter border provide the final details of a truly spectacular gown. True the classic style, Rapunzel has 17 inches of gleaming golden hair, and a beautifully detailed brush in a golden-hued patina. Resplendent in her magnificent purple dress, Rapunzel is a truly treasured keepsake!
This was installed in 2011, and was intended only for use by Scan It! customers. It was awkwardly located, facing Customer Service, and was the sole Fujitsu U-Scan at this store, with all other selfs being IBM and later Toshiba. It has since decommissioned, but has yet to be removed.
After last year’s MLK weekend storm, an excavator (pictured above) placed on the temporary work bridge helped remove debris. Crews also used a crane and clam bucket from the old eastbound bridge, while a yarder and grapple worked on the upstream side of the work zone. About 110 truckloads of debris were removed from the river; nearly 40 of those were used to restore fish habitat elsewhere in the Sandy River Basin.

On 9/27/14 - 142 volunteers removed enough trash to completely fill a 40 dumpster which included 290 trash bags of litter from Bread and Cheese Creek (from the Berkshire Community to North Point Boulevard) and North Point Road. These photos show them hard at work on this day! 10 tires, 6 shopping carts, 4 cans of paint, 3 rugs, 2 TV’s, a mattress and box spring, a reclining couch, a 55 gallon drum, and a toilet were all items that were removed from this historic stream. Additionally 1 ton of metal was pulled from the creek and will be recycled with the money going toward helping to pay for our next cleanup. All food left over will be donated to Rita’s Table a local food kitchen dedicated to helping feed the needy of Dundalk. Thank you Volunteers you are worth your weight in gold and more!!!
We are a group of volunteers who worked with the community in association with National Public Lands Day, the Ocean Conservancy, American Rivers, Trash Free Maryland, and Day to Serve on this cleanup.
We would like to Thank Entenmann’s Baker Outlet for donating donuts; Re/Max Realty for donating hotdogs and a hotdog cart for the day; Lafarge for donating pulled pork, potato chips and soda; and Gotugo for donating a portable restroom for the event!
We would also like to thank the following groups who showed up in large number to help for the day: The Boy Scouts, The Girl Scout Brownies, the U.S. Navy, Dundalk High School, Saint Timothy’s School for Girls, Towson University Students, Johns Hopkins University Students and the Forestry Association! Thank you all for helping to make this cleanup an incredible success!

We worked on removing and recycling the metal drop ceiling in the old gym to begin converting the room to a woodshop. We're planning to replace the lights and organize storage to create space for a maker space model woodshop for local woodworkers and special workshops.
The Preston Crossing Walmart store in Saskatoon is undergoing an expansion and renovation that will officially make it a Walmart Supercentre by next spring. Here, the logo has been removed and will eventually be replaced with the store's current logo. Meanwhile, the store's outer automatic swing doors, as well as its manual swing doors, have been replaced with two sets of automatic sliding doors from Stanley Access Technologies and one manual swing door. The doors on the inside have yet to be replaced.
This is a photograph from the Cork City Marathon 2014 which was held in Cork City, Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday June 2nd 2014 starting at 09:00. There are three different events: The full marathon, The Half Marathon, and a full relay of the full marathon course.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Some of you may have noticed that, unfortunately, owing to the fact that a certain person who sells truck photos on eBay commercially has been lifting my images from this album and selling them I have had to remove 2300 photos that didn't have a watermark. I have now run around 1700 through Lightroom and added a watermark with the intention of bulk uploading them again. Rather than watermark the existing (hidden) files in Flickr one at a time it will be easier to do it this way. I definitely won’t be adding individual tags with the make and model of each vehicle I will just add generic transport tags. Each photo is named after the vehicle and reg in any case. For anyone new to these images there is a chapter and verse explanation below. It is staggering how many times I get asked questions that a quick scan would answer or just as likely I can’t possibly answer – I didn’t take them, but, just to clarify-I do own the copyright- and I do pursue copyright theft.
This is a collection of scanned prints from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection, 30,000 prints, 20,000 negatives – and copyright! – had been offered to me and one of the national transport magazines previously by a friend of Jim's, on behalf of Jim's wife. I initially turned them down, already having over 30,000 of my own prints filed away and taking space up. Several months later the prints were still for sale – at what was, apparently, the going rate. It was a lot of money and I deliberated for quite a while before deciding to buy them. I did however buy them directly from Jim’s wife and she delivered them personally – just to quash the occasional rumour from people who can’t mind their own business. Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, 1200 to a box, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them. The prints are generally in excellent condition and I initially stored them in a bedroom without ever looking at any of them. In 2006 I built an extension and they had to be well protected from dust and moved a few times. Ultimately my former 6x7 box room office has become their (and my own work’s) permanent home.
I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jim’s work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work. His early work consists of many thousands of lustre 6x4 prints which are difficult to scan well, later work is almost entirely 7x5 glossy, much easier to scan. Not all of the prints are pin sharp but I can generally print successfully to A4 from a scan.
You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. The bigger fleets have so many similar vehicles and registration numbers that it is impossible to get it right all of the time. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC’s - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine.
Unfortunately, many truck spotters have swapped and traded their work without copyright marking it as theirs. These people never anticipated the ease with which images would be shared online in the future. I would guess that having swapped and traded photos for many years that it is almost impossible to control their future use. Anyone wanting to control the future use of their work would have been well advised to copyright mark their work (as many did) and would be well advised not to post them on photo sharing sites without a watermark as the whole point of these sites is to share the image, it is very easy for those that wish, to lift any image, despite security settings, indeed, Flickr itself, warns you that this is the case. It was this abuse and theft of my material that led me to watermark all of my later uploads. I may yet withdraw non-watermarked photos, I haven’t decided yet. (I did in the end)
To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads – I didn’t take them! There are many vehicles that were well known to me as Jim only lived down the road from me (although I didn’t know him), however scanning, titling, tagging and uploading is laborious and time consuming enough, I do however provide a fair amount of information with my own transport (and other) photos. I am aware that there are requests from other Flickr users that are unanswered, I stumble across them months or years after they were posted, this isn’t deliberate. Some weekends one or two “enthusiasts” can add many hundreds of photos as favourites, this pushes requests that are in the comments section ten or twenty pages out of sight and I miss them. I also have notifications switched off, I receive around 50 emails a day through work and I don’t want even more from Flickr. Other requests, like many other things, I just plain forget – no excuses! Uploads of Jim’s photos will be infrequent as it is a boring pastime and I would much rather work on my own output.
Debris floating downstream due to the December 2011 storm was met by fewer piers at the bridges. Here, a crane lifts a log out of the river. With fewer piers in the water for the remainder of the project, ODOT is optimistic that debris won’t pile up as it did over the MLK 2011 weekend, and that removing it will be as smooth as you see in this photo.

CLC tackled the property’s environmental issues by spending more than $1 million removing the hazardous materials. Buildings which were not salvageable were demolished, while those that could be rehabilitated were renovated and retrofitted to provide modern amenities while retaining their unique design. Tonnes of asphalt, gravel and concrete were recycled and reused in the construction of roadbeds, and plans call for an extensive network of parks, trails and four stormwater lakes to provide recreational opportunities for residents.
CLC has also paid tribute to the property’s military heritage. Streets and parks have been named after famous local military heroes and battles in which local military units participated. As well, statues have been erected to commemorate the former base’s namesake, Major-General William Griesbach and his wife, Janet.
When the project is completed, as many as 13,000 people will be living and working at the Village at Griesbach – a testament to CLC’s outstanding track record in supporting sustainable development.
A section of the Village at Griesbach is the recipient of a Stage 2 LEED ND (neighbourhood development) Gold certification. Village at Griesbach is the first project in Edmonton to receive this prestigious international designation.

La SIC a résolu les problèmes environnementaux du site en consacrant plus d’un million de dollars à l’enlèvement de matériaux dangereux. On a démoli les édifices qui ne pouvaient pas être rénovés et rénové les autres, en les équipant de services modernes tout en conservant leur originalité. Des tonnes d’asphalte, de gravier et de béton ont été recyclées et réutilisées dans la construction de nouvelles rues, et les plans prévoient un grand réseau de parcs et de sentiers, de même que quatre bassins de rétention des eaux de pluie, qui offriront des sites de détente aux résidents.
La SIC a aussi rendu hommage au passé militaire du site, en nommant les rues et les parcs en l’honneur des héros militaires locaux et de grandes batailles auxquelles les unités militaires locales ont participé. De plus, des statues ont été érigées pour commémorer le Major-Général William Griesbach et son épouse, Janet.
À l’achèvement du projet, près de 13 000 personnes habiteront et travailleront au Village at Griesbach – ce qui démontre l’expérience exceptionnelle de la SIC dans la réalisation de projets durables.
Village at Griesbach a obtenu la nouvelle certification environnementale LEED ND d’or (2e étape) pour un aménagement de quartier. Il s’agit du premier projet à Edmonton qui obtient une désignation internationale aussi prestigieuse.

Now, before we remove the wig, undress your J-Doll. The shoes can be tricky as the ankle joints on both the Type 3 and 4 bodies are delicate and very easy to break. Some shoes have slits in the back for easy removal (Joseph Splatz did) but some don't (like Andrassy Ave.). For those that don't, you'll need to make your own slits with an X-Acto knife. To do so simply use your knife and cut the back of the shoe. You'll want to stop right when you get to the shoe sole.
Note: Joseph Splatz's shoes already had slits in the back, but they didn't go down far enough. I used my knife to lengthen them which made it much easier to work with.
