I've worked with young children for many years and now for the past 12 years I've worked with teens. At every age they sometimes feel that nobody cares. I make it a point to show them that I care.
should tell First H&D that XP is out of support, and has been for some years (including the utterly dumb 'embedded' version) - almost since these buses hit the roads.
However - chkdsk won't do much on its own. sfc /scannow might be more successful ... if the chaps at HA can find a way to the ECP 😄 And the wifi was dead - although that's unconnected with this problem.

I just happened to be in the lobby when she arrived and managed to get a snap of her getting on the escalator. Note that the security guy in the background doesn't look too concerned. A leftover shot from my BlogTo coverage.
This was taken after a jolly (and safe) night out with the Adelaide Camera Club. On the way back to the car I felt it somehow the right thing to do to take some photos of dark and slightly sketchy places.
A friend of a friend collects medals and I was given the opportunity to photograph a group of four. Unfortunately I know nothing of their owner or his story.
Lighting : The medals were placed inside my light tent with a Canon 430EX flashgun at each side to the front facing down. The ST-E2 triggered the flashguns using ETTL.
I have seen Sholden described as a village between Deal and Sandwich. It is really a suburb of Deal now, as the housing is unbroken between here and St Leonard in Deal, a couple of hundred metres along the man road. Sholden also extends away from the coast into Mongeham, as I described earlier.
The church is small, built of flint, and is easily missed, this was my second visit here, and the second of the day, and as we went past I could see the door open, so after finding a place to park, we walked over and inside.
We were given a warm welcome by the volunteer, who gave us a very good history of the church, and as always I learned so much more from someone who clearly loved their parish church.

Standing back at a queer angle from the main road, this church has been unlucky over the years. Of thirteenth century origins it had a north aisle which at some stage was demolished in favour of the single roof structure to be found today. This creates an unusually wide interior – not quite as extreme at St Mary at nearby Sandwich, but along the same lines. The chancel has recently (2009) been reordered and simplified with a free standing altar and rose pink carpet – quite a fetching scene – and luckily the nineteenth century reredos has been kept. The War Memorial on the SE corner of the nave is quite a fine construction of rubbed brickwork – almost Lutyensesque in its form. The church was damaged in the War but the stained glass windows in the chancel recording the event (by a Sussex firm) must surely over emphasise the damage as the roof is completely Victorian. All in all this is a delightful little church and one only wishes it was more accessible.

Sholden: the parish.
In 1176 this little unit of land was known as Shoueldune and since as Seueldon, Schoweldun, Shoueldon; the first form of the name being possibly due to some fancied likeness of the hill to a shovel – shovelhill. It is a topographical unit, a physical unit, a parochial unit and an historical unit. It is small in area as a parish, without a coastal strip, 1813 acres of land, with a population in 1801 of 238, in 1858 it had increased to 465, in1931 to 615 and by 1991 it was 815.
As a place, Sholden has taken little part in national affairs or even Kentish history, squeezed as it is between Sandwich and Deal. Historically it has been an ecclesiastic unit with its own priest from time immemorial, although under its richer neighbour, Northbourne, from which it could not branch out independently. Northbourne itself was only a unit, until the Reformation, of the great Abbey of St.Augustine at Canterbury. In fact Sholden was a necessary offshoot of Northbourne, as it possessed that great area of marsh with its dykes which were a valuable summer grazing ground for the Abbey cattle.
The early topographers, Leyland in Henry VIII’s reign, Lambard and William Camden, who might have been expected to mention us say nothing. First comments are in 1659, but then all that Richard Kilburne of Hawkshurst could say was that Sholden “lieth at the E. end of the County, adjoining to the sea, about 3 miles towards the SE distant from Sandwich: in the bailiwick of Eastry, hundred of Cornilo; Lath of St.Augustines”.
From 1128 the church of Northbourne, with its chapels at Cotmanton (Cottington) and Sholden, was attached to the manor of Northbourne, and so to the Abbey of St.Augustines.
In 1272-3, the first year of the reign of Edward I, the vicarage of Northbourne, the chapels was endowed with all the small tithes by the Abbey. It was also agreed that the vicar should have a house and garden with two acres of land. In Hasted’s time (1800) there was also nine acres of glebe. With these allowances, as the vicar was only a nominee of St.Augustines, the burden of the repairing and rebuilding the chancel of Northbourne church, and that of Sholden, and of finding and repairing the books, vestments and ornaments of the chapel, and of the chapel of Sholden, should be acknowledged as the duty of the Abbey forever.
Earlier references to the parish include the following:
Thornes Chronicle of St.Augustines Abbey (Davis’ Translation 1934 p18) records that Edbald, who had been a pagan, after his conversion by Archbishop Laurentinus, endowed in 618 the Abbey with the manor of Northbourne, with which went Sholden.
Letters relating to the condition of the church in Kent during the primacy of Archbishop Sandcroft were written by Dr.Henry Ullock, who had been appointed Rural Dean of Sandwich. The report on the vicar, Mr Balderson, is that he “hath Northbourne and Shoulden which is annexed to it, lives at Northbourne, officiates at both places, is Master of Arts, was bred in Emanuel College, is not married”. He died in 1702.
The sole literary reference to a Sholden family that has been unearthed is that Colonel William Wyborn, the eldest son of Daniel who altered Hull Place, was one of the subscribers in 1758 to Elizabeth Carter great quarto translation of the Greek philosopher, Epictetus.
Sholden: the church.
The church, dedicated to St.Nicholas, is an undistinguished example of the thirteenth century in its present state. It is built of flint with Caen stone dressings and Hythe stone buttresses. It shows in the flint work patches of reconstruction. Of its foundation a single fragment of moulding built in as a top stone of a putt log hole high up in the north wall might be 12th century work and so suggest that there was a small church of that date.
The original Deal to Sandwich road passed the church through what is now the present graveyard with the doorway being on the north side of the church. This doorway has been enclosed and is now the vicar’s vestry. The current road or turnpike was approved by parliament in 1795 and it was constructed shortly afterwards deviating from the old path at Jenkins Well. This is between the public entrance to Warden House School and the hairdressers.
The following is a copy of the first Quinquennial Report to be produced after the Second World War during which the building was substantially damaged on Saturday 19th April 1941 by a parachute mine which landed in what is now Five Ways Rise. Services were held in the Baptist Chapel in the village and did not begin again in the church until November 1947.
The church is built of knapped flint with stone quoins and comprises chancel, nave, western tower and vestries on the north and northwest angle. The roof is of old Kent tile. The whole of the external flintwork appears to be 19th century cladding except the recent rebuilding which is the top part only. Nearly all the quoins are 19th century. The vicar’s vestry is the old North Porch converted and now it contains a Victorian window with a 15th century label but still has the original 15th century doorway which is considered to be “very fine”. The choir vestry is a post war addition. The East end of the Nave has some Norman quoins above the buttresses. The West door to the Tower is 19th century and in good condition and the windows in the Tower are of the same period but have severely weathered. On the North side of the Tower there are two original windows, one is older than the other, but both are about 13th century and in good condition.
The window on the North side of the Chancel is 19th century and transitional in style whereas at the East end of the Chancel the window is of the same period but Early English in style. The label of the East window would seem to be 13th century and both North and South windows appear to have been lowered, maybe following the post-war rebuild. {These now depict before and after the night of the bombing}.
The windows on the South side of the Nave are1 9th century in a 15th century style and in fairly good condition.
The South door is 19th century and in quite good condition.
The Transitional window on the East side of the Tower is original.
The basin of the Font is of Kentish Rag and probably 14th century on a perpendicular stem of the 15th century but the base and step are both 19th century.
The pulpit and the pews are of pitch pine and the lectern of oak and all are 19th century.
The rerados and tilling behind the altar are Victorian.
The mid 13th century tower is divided into 3 unequal stories:-
Bellchamber
Ringing chamber
Base of tower.
The bellchamber; the walls are of flint and the windows have slate louvers. The floor is Tudor with chamfered joists borne on stone corbels.
The ringing chamber is actually no longer used as such as the bells are rung from the base of the tower. The floor was replaced in Victorian times and is in fair condition. The walls are of flint and in good condition. The whole of the East wall in this chamber is rendered with what one must call external rendering. There is the clearest evidence that the tower is later date than the Nave, since the tower is not bonded into the West wall of the Nave and therefore the church plan was at one time the simple two compartment type of Nave and Chancel. This West wall also contains a small window, which is undoubtedly very early in date and is probably early Norman or late Saxon much repaired. This window was crudely blocked on the East face of the West wall of the Nave and should be unblocked. It would then look down into the Nave.
The bells are rung from the base of the tower and it is in sound condition with its Victorian tiled floor. A blocked entry to the now removed gallery remains high above the Tower door.
NB. The bells and tower were renovated in the early 1980’s and therefore some of the foregoing is now inaccurate.

Sholden comes from the Old English ‘scofl’ meaning a ‘shovel; shovel shaped strip’ together with ‘dūn’ as a ‘hill’; therefore, a ‘shovel-shaped hill’. The description of Sholden by Edward Hasted in 1800 notes that ‘the upland part of it forms a kind of peninsula westward, which is surrounded on three sides by the wet land and marshes’.
Sholden parish church is a Grade: II listed building, dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The Normans built the church originally, although, rebuilt it in the 13th century, with the addition of windows and a tower a century later. In 1623, Thomas Bartlett cast two bells, and John Hodson added a third in 1675. In 1800, Edward Hasted described St Nicholas’ church as consisting of a ‘nave and a chancel; it is of a good size and well built, having a square tower steeple at the west end, in which are three bells. The church is ceiled, and kept very neat’. The Victorians carried out a heavy restoration in the 19th century. Bomb damage received in 1941 resulted in the church being out of action until November 1947.

After the war and the damage to the church rendering it out of use, services were held in a wooden hut in an area behind the church. It was marked by a cross, but the warden thinks this is now gone.

From a P in the pot
Type of nigga, used to sleep on a cot
Type of nigga, used to get it and go
You the type that sold a ki to a cop
Type of nigga, have your bitch in my spot
I'm the type to tie her feet in a knot
Type of nigga, turned a dream to a G
Type of nigga, turned that G to a drop
Turn around and take a P on the lot
Used to say, "Give me codeine on the rocks"
Used to say, "Kiss it one time" cause that coochie was stankin'
I sprayed some Febreze on the box, weed in my socks
Picture of me with a block on the block
Picture me rollin'
If I get gunned down today
Your picture they gon' be holdin'
Pick up the paper, custodian
Your bitch about to get stolen, now it is a wrap
Talkin' aluminum foil
Tat-tat-tat-tat, what the fuck? Shoot a nigga playin' tough
Show me a bitch that is loyal
I could sell her desert soil
Love me or love me not
You cannot go to my mama's spot
[Hook x2]
[Cap-1:]
I'm the type to put the ki on the block
I'm the type to be the king of the spot
Push button, ain't no key for the drop
Tatted my body, I think that I'm Pac
Got these bitches fallin' through to give me the box
Bet you niggas wonder how I did it
Fell in love with sellin' drugs and then I went and got a plug
And I made a little bit of money, spendin' hundred thousand limits
I had to give these hoes
I had to give these hoes someone to love
Took them 5s and 10s and 20s, added it up
Took them 50s, 100s, then I went to the club
They can see what I'm doin'
See what I'm doin', it's easier than drugs
In the kitchen water whippin', flippin' pigeons
Double the digits, the blue money come
Got the Forgiatto on that new Gallardo
Blowin' avocado, ridin' through Chicago
Got the double cup and lean in baby bottle
Got the shooters with me, black Mercedes follow
Shoe cost a bando
Rest in peace ‘Nando
My bitch came from Cuba, the weed from Cali
But my plug Mexicano

Look like I'm whippin' my wrist in a Glad
All yellow Rollie, is piss on my hand

I'm known to kill in the booth, I'm known to spill in the booth
See I keep it better, I'll never talk to a pillar
And I cannot talk to these niggas, so

Словно тонкий платок оренбургский зацепился за голую ветвь...

Some people say the worst way
to miss someone is when
they are right next to you
and you know you can't have them,
but it's worse when you thought you didn't want them anymore
and then all of a sudden you realize
you can't live without them.
.......mmmmmm.........nothing to say anymore.....hehe
The most common lie we tell ourselves about individuality is that it requires finding our own proof for everything. To re-litigate every established issue, question all we ever learned, and defer to no expert who might know better. Me, I haven't got the time for that. This might seem like strange talk for someone so independently-minded, but I'm all about effective allocation of resources. You won't catch me "doing my own research" on important issues – I'd rather spend that time on looking for someone to trust. Allen, my neighbour, does most of my car work. He's been at it longer than I've been alive, so if he says it needs doing, I believe him. Susy, my wife, works in health care. Her experience far eclipses mine, so why should I commit to competing with her? The education and effort is more than I could manage.
There's a risk in this, of course. No one wants to mistakenly trust an idiot, but I'd rather keep looking than to put it all on myself. I think the quickest route to uselessness is in trying to know it all. I don't rate our species very highly in terms of multi-tasking. We're creatures of intense specialization, better off focused on a narrow band of things we do best. I might have a thought on major issues in passing, but I haven't got the brain space to become an amateur expert on medicine, politics, religion, psychiatry, or social matters. The internet serves up a constant temptation to be a know-it-all – and that's not something I'm interested in pursuing. Besides, it's functionally impossible. Those who've worked decades in a committed career, in any given field, must still defer to colleagues to fill the gaps in their knowledge. So why waste my time believing I could start from scratch?
When someone tries to tell me that the experts are idiots, I'm disinclined to listen if they're not an expert in that subject themselves. Ten years should do it – I'll wait. Arguing outside of your experience is wasting the time you could be using for learning. You've got two options – go all-in with the one thing that most concerns you, or be permanently pointless. Unless you're among the most brilliant minds on earth, you've probably only got the mental capacity for one major important pursuit. So which did I pick? Stories. When I was at my most angry and argumentative in my late teens, I kicked that to the curb to tell tales. Poems, prose, photos, and videos now and then. I gave every ounce of my energy to the ultimately heartwaking forces of art and emotion. Every single day of my life is consumed with this, and even then, I wish I had more to give.

The Bull Wall is situated on the northern side of Dublin Bay and is a popular destination for walkers, especially on Sunday. The Stena Line Holyhead to Dublin passenger ferry can be seen in the background making her way into the busy port. On the left is the Réalt na Mara (Star of the Sea) statue which was erected by a religious group in 1972.
