According to one particular theory, the scientific name of tansy’s genus comes from the Greek word for ‘deathless’. Tansy has been used in the embalming process and has been a common graveyard plant in Finland too. In the old days it was used to flavour stews, baking, salads and – of course – strong spirits. It has also been used as a tobacco substitute and to dye wool, and it helps compost decompose more quickly. It has been shown to keep pests away from fruit trees and perennials and when it is dries it repels moths, flies, midges and ants from indoor places. Especially in Lapland, where the choice of undemanding and easily-cared-for perennials is not so large, tansy grows in every yard and has held onto its spot as a natural perennial in the flower-bed. Its strong stems stick up during the winter, and as they keep well, tansy also makes a pleasant dried flower. (source: Luontoportti)
El Camino de los Españoles es un sendero en el Parque nacional El Ávila, Venezuela , que va desde la ciudad de Caracas hasta La Guaira. El camino fue ordenado en mayo de 1589, por el Gobernador y Capitán General de la Provincia de Venezuela y fundador del puerto de La Guaira, don Diego de Osorio y Villegas. Según hay constancia en un acta de fecha 4 de enero de 1603 por fin se cumple la orden de construcción siguiendo un sendero o pica indígena llamada «La Culebrilla». A los fines de repeler posibles ataques de piratas y bandoleros el camino fue reforzado con fortines, que actualmente se observan en distintos estados de conservación.
In this "machine," AC electricity was changed to DC electricity. These electrons were added to hydrogen atoms, giving them a negative charge, which created a strong repelling force which was the first stage of acceleration. It got the hydrogen atoms (each consisting of a single proton) up to 7% of the speed of light. So, still a long way to go to almost the speed of light.
The large Armstrong Cannons (1864) in John Morley Reserve on The Strand were placed in the years after the Crimean War, to repel a possible Russian naval offence. This never came, and the two mighty guns have never been fired in anger.

"The attack on Shelter Base had been repelled, but at a heavy cost, our forces lost the bulk of our armor to the Nimbus Commandos and the Jedi General in charge of the entire campaign was confirmed to be dead along with an Alpha-Class ARC trooper. Legion casualties were high as well, my squad was down to quarter strength and comms chatter across the regiment reflected similar losses. Shelter Base wasn't a victory to celebrate, our forces had been crippled and if it weren't for a short break in the atmospheric storm the battle may have ended there. Reinforcements had finally arrived, gunships set down amidst the carnage and began to offload fresh troops, much needed supplies and even a few Jedi. The replacements were a welcome sight, but we had our doubts, there was a distinct lack of heavy armor and weapons, just troopers. It was as if command had decided that the best way to conquer Jabiim was to throw bodies at the rebels until they drowned in a sea of white plastoid. It wasn't long before command had us resume operations, conducting patrols towards the Razor Coast, the alleged Separatist staging ground. The patrols were tedious, trudging through the mud, hunting snipers, defusing mines and destroying Jabiimi hold outs. A Jedi even accompanied us on a few, his presence seemed to ease the boys nerves, he led from the front using the force the detect danger, acting as a sort of early warning system, alerting us to hidden snipers before they could fire and hidden traps moments before they were sprung. He saved my squad multiple times that day and earned my respect. With his help we were even able to raid a Jabiimi outpost nestled amidst some ruins, we took the majority of the Jabiimi rebels alive and through a mix of Jedi mind tricks and Mandalorian teachings we extracted the whereabouts of Alto Stratus. He was at the Razor Coast licking his wounds after his failed raid on Shelter Base. His death would mean the capitulation of Jabiimi Separatist movement, the only problem would be getting through the thousands of battle droids amassed there. A feat which the Jedi deemed nearly impossible, but we're the 253rd, overcoming impossible odds is our specialty..."

While there is a 4.4 out on the 253rd's discord, I'm afraid this will likely be my last build for some time. Also it took me like 4 hours to get a photo I liked. I blame the winter, it's making my lighting is just funky.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good one!

Chapter 4: Finally, the second lion arrived on the scene and the battle began anew. The giraffe, much larger, kicked at the lions with all the power at its command. You can tell from several of the images that there were severe deformities in the giraffe's hooves. Possibly, this is what attracted the lions to this particular giraffe. It may have also hindered the giraffe's ability to outrun his much smaller pursuers. Notwithstanding his misshapen hooves, the giraffe was able to repel his attackers. But as you can see from the last picture, they hadn't given up the fight.

After the most dangerous hike/repel/rock climb adventure I had ever experienced I was rewarded with this sight. There is no official trail to this waterfall. The trek was extremely dangerous with heavy rain the night before. But paradise awaits those brave enough to adventure past your comfort zone.
The Great Siege 1565 and the Fort St. Angelo in Malta:
Malta: Charles Bray took this picture from another painting where you could see fort of St. Angelo when in 1530, when the Knights arrived on the Islands of Malta, the Fort St. Angelo became the seat of the Grand Master of the Order. It was to play a heroic role in the Great Siege of 1565, when, against all odds, it managed to repel a formidable Saracen armada. The epic resistance of the Knights during the three-month siege gave the Fort of St. Angel its legendary status. In the 19th century, the British took over the Fort of St. Angelo and in 1912 it was officially listed as a ship, first as HMS Egmont and then in1933 it was renamed HMS St Angelo. More recently, the Government granted the Order of the Knights of St. John the upper part of the fort, comprising the magisterial palace and St Anne's Chapel. On May 18th 1565, the Ottoman Turks and their allies pitted 48,000 of their best troops against the islands of Malta with the intention of invading them, and afterwards to make a thrust into southern Europe by way of Sicily and Italy. Against them were drawn up some 8, 000 men: 540 Knights; 4, 000 Maltese; and the rest made up by Spanish and Italian mercenaries. La Valette, the grand Master, perhaps the greatest Grand Master the Order ever had, wisely did not attempt to meet the invaders on the beaches, but chose, instead, to deploy the small number of troops at his disposal inside the fortified position: the old town of Mdina; the two fortified towns by the harbours, Senglea and Birgu, and St. Elmo [as you see in the picture], the small fort that had been built on tip of the Sciberras peninsula to guard the entrances of the two main harbours. A small token force garrisoned the castle at Gozo. Landing unopposed, the first objective of the Turks was to secure a safe anchorage for their large invasion fleet, and with that in mind, launched their attack on St. Elmo. After a heroic resistance of thirty-one days the fort succumbed to the massive bombardment and continuous attacks of the Turks. After the fort had been reduced, the Ottomans turned their attention to the two badly fortified towns overlooking the harbour. Subjected to a ceaseless bombardment, and repulsing attack after attack; behind the crumbling walls, the Christians forces, against all odds, kept the enemy at bay until a small relief force of some 8, 000 troops arrived from Sicily [a smaller relief force of 600 men had previously landed at about the time that St. Elmo had fallen]. Totally demoralized, as the Turks were, by losses from disease, fire and steel, added to the fact that their supplies were running low, they were in no position to offer an effective resistant, and the Turks retreated never again to attempt another invasion in that part of the Mediterranean. The knights, the Spanish and Italian mercenaries, and the entire Maltese population, all of whom were in the front line of the fighting, had triumphed. In saving themselves, they saved Europe from the Ottoman Turks.
Fort St Angelo is the jewel in the crown of Malta's military heritage. According to tradition, it stands on the site of a fortified Roman settlement. Certainly, the nearby harbour creeks were in use since Phoenician times. In medieval times, the Castrum Maris as it was known was occupied by the Aragonese and the Angevins. In 1530, when the Knights arrived on the Islands, the Fort became the seat of the Grand Master of the Order. It was to play a heroic role in the Great Siege of 1565, when, against all odds, it managed to repel a formidable Saracen armada. The epic resistance of the Knights during the three-month siege gave the Fort its legendary status. In the 19th century, the British took over the Fort and in 1912 it was officially listed as a ship, first as HMS Egmont and then in1933 it was renamed HMS St Angelo. More recently, the Government granted the Order of the Knights of St John the upper part of the fort, comprising the magisterial palace and St Anne's Chapel.
I have been wanting to shoot this fascinating arch for years. It is the elusive Windstone Arch in the Valley Of Fire. An arch inside a cave. Just for scale, if you look close you can see a rock climber repelling down the side of this massive thing.
I took a fairly major roadtrip last week. Left the motorhome behind for over a week. Spent a few nights sleeping in the back of my truck and a few more in a hotel. Finally saw Hole In The Rock Rd. Drove down Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Then hit Toroweap (distant viewpoint of Grand Canyon) Then Valley of Fire. Spent a few nights in Vegas (I hate Vegas, but my boss needed some new shots from there)
Dochula Pass, Bhutan.
High on top of a mountain pass on the road from Thimphu to Punaka, overlooking the Himalayas, is a concentration of 108 chortens (stupas) built in memory of Bhutanese soldiers killed in the 2003 war against insurgents from India. The Queen Mother, Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck, commissioned the monument after King Jigme Singye Wangchuck was victorious in the struggle to dislodge the rebels who were using Bhutan as a base to raid India.
The most well-known pass in Bhutan, Dochula Pass is located about 30 km away from the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu. The 108 chortens were built by Queen Mother to honor the Bhutanese soldiers who were killed when fighting the Indian rebels in 2003. Bhutan was forced to repel the rebels as failing to do so, India threatened to enter the country to do so themselves. The 4th King led a volunteer army of about 7,000 men to force the rebels to exit the country. Though Bhutanese have wanted to build this chortens to mark the victory of Bhutanese army, the King has rejected this offer and instead uses the chortens to commemorate the deceased.
Many people erroneously believe that faeries are repelled by all types of metals. This is not true. Why, just look at leprechauns and their pots of gold.
The only metal that repels faeries is cold iron. Iron is like poison to them and, thus, they will not go near it.
So, not to worry. This miniature ornate “silver” and very pretty “fairy flower perfume bottle” will neither repel nor harm your faeries. In fact, being lovers of flowers ("In the twilight, faeries flit about from flower to flower, causing mysterious twinkling of lights, inviting you to follow".) and guardians of nature, it will more than likely be very pleasing to your faeries.
This set of two fairy vanity items is my original idea, design, and creation. It is one of a kind.

A fun recycled scene I changed up to fit into the RebelLUG display at BrickFair Virginia (which I unfortunately couldn't attend at the last minute). Hoping to get more builds uploaded soon!
As always, there are more photos available on my website.
Enjoy! :D

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's allow LEGO to be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it. Creativity Never Ends!

Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα), originally known as Raqmu (Nabataean Arabic: الرقيم), is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies on the slope of Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah valley that run from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Established possibly as early as the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.
The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue, and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The earliest recorded historical reference to the city was when an envious Greek dynasty attempted to ransack the city in 312 BC. The Nabataeans were, unlike their enemies, accustomed to living in the barren deserts, and were able to repel attacks by utilizing the area's mountainous terrain. They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. The Kingdom's capital continued to flourish until the 1st century AD when its famous Al-Khazneh facade was constructed, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.
Encroaching troops of the Roman Empire in 106 AD forced the Nabataeans to surrender. The Romans annexed and renamed the Kingdom to Arabia Petraea. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes emerged, and after a 363 earthquake destroyed many structures. The Byzantine Era witnessed the construction of several Christian churches. By 700, the city became an abandoned place where only a handful of nomads grazed goats. It remained an unknown place until it was rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812, sparking renewed interest in the city.
The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved. It is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage".

This house seems to have extra large dark windows to look out upon the view of the reserve nearby and across to the valley to houses leading to the south west. It has a small landing on the second floor with a couple of black gargoyles. The darker coloured window tints may be a mechanism to repel views from the street. HWW
1st April 2018 marks the Centenary of the formation of the Royal Air Force. Formerly the Royal Flying Corps, a subordinate part of the British Army, the RAF was now a completely independant air arm. Among it's many achievements, the RAFs finest hour came in 1940 when it defended UK airspace and repelled the threat of invasion. The backbone of Fighter Command at that time was the Hawker Hurricane, illustrated here by P3717/SW-P,seen at Old Warden in June 2017.
