This morning, 25 March 2013, Greater Manchester Police conducted a series of raids as part of a big spring clean operation intended to sweep offenders off our streets over the coming days.
Officers are working across Greater Manchester as part of an operation to ensure that crime does not peak over the spring holiday period. At a time where we often see an increase in antisocial behaviour, burglary and robbery we will be making sure that the area becomes a hostile environment for criminals while the good people of our communities are kept safe.
Part of the operation will be focused on working with partners to provide support for vulnerable victims. Officers from the public protection department will be targeting offenders of vulnerability crime such as sex offences in order to take positive action against them.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Wiggett said: “This operation is about cleaning up our streets and sweeping up crime. If you are wanted by the police, I would advise you to turn yourself in or you will find yourself a target for our spring clean.
“Today marks the beginning of an operation, where criminals will be hearing the sound of wham rams forcefully knocking at their front doors. Officers from every division will be targeting offenders who commit any type of crime and threaten any of our communities.
“At this time of year, as the days get longer and the weather gets warmer we generally see an increase in anti-social behaviour and acquisitive crime such as robbery and burglary – particularly through people leaving windows and doors open or sheds and garages unlocked after spending time outside. We ask that you look out for each other, you take care of your personal belongings and that you report any antisocial behaviour to your neighbourhood teams so we can deal with the problem.”
Officers from the tactical aid unit, traffic, ANPR officers, mounted police, dog handlers and special constables will be out supporting each of the divisions on seeking out their most wanted.
An ad-van will be out across Greater Manchester to name and shame offenders who have no choice but to turn themselves in.
Neighbourhood teams will be engaging with local communities and street cleaning projects will be taking place in some areas with partners and community payback teams.
Help to sweep up criminals by reporting anything suspicious to police on 999 or the non-emergency number 101 or report information online by visiting GMP’s website www.gmp.police.uk. If you have any information that you would like to report anonymously you can do so by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
in celebration of spring, new nests!
it's still cold, but the sun is shining and the birds are chirping ~ spring is on it's way!
After a long and cold winter, spring has finally arrived to Indiana. It's the most beautiful time of the year here. Unfortunately, I need to move on, which probably means the end of regular nature photos for me. I am going to miss this place!
Cool Springs Park, a roadside attraction near Rowlesburg, West Virginia, has a huge collection of narrow gauge and standard gauge equipment, including a pair of 0-4-0s and four B&O cabooses. A large Vulcan Iron Works 0-4-0T (36” gauge) from Crab Orchard Coal is displayed with a home-built tender. Additionally, there is a four wheel gas powered switcher, also 36” gauge, built by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes Barre, Penn., in 1948. There is a curious H. K. Porter 0-4-0 close-clearance locomotive in 42” gauge that has been modified to operate on 36” gauge track (believed to be ex- Three Forks Coal Co.) along with some derelict mine cars. Other railroad equipment includes a 3’ gauge Fairmont track motor car, an ex-East Broad Top coal hopper, a pair of EBT flatcars, and a narrow gauge box car. There are four ex-Baltimore and Ohio wood cabooses, C-2158 and C-2161, and the remains of B&O bay window caboose C-2773. Another caboose, ex- B&O C-2645, has been placed on EBT narrow gauge trucks. There is narrow gauge track all over the property, indicating that at one time Cool Springs was attempting to open train as a tourist attraction. Beside the railroad equipment, there are dozens and dozens of derelict tractors on the property, mostly Fordson and John Deere. The steam tractors appear to be mostly Frick “Eclipse” traction engines which were manufactured in Waynesboro, Penn. All of the equipment at Cool Springs was collected and displayed by Harlan Castle and his family, who also run the store, gas station, and restaurant on the property.

"The flowers around her and colorful hummingbirds sing when she appears heralding the arrival of spring and the birth of new flowers.
Her beauty comes from the fragility and delicacy of the flowers that born each spring under the cool morning sunlight. And wherever she treads born beautiful flowers that grow up full of color and life."

Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Buckstaff Bathhouse, with the blue awnings, has been in continuous operation since it opened on February 1, 1912. Behind it, the Arkansas Career Training Institute (ACTI), formerly known as the Hot Springs Rehabilitation Center, was built as the first Army/Navy Hospital in the country.
These are the luscious gardens at Tabacon Hot Springs, on the side of Mt. Arenal in central Costa Rica.
My (now) wife & I went here in 2002 on our first vacation together (you all remember the first time you found out just how long the other person really takes to get ready in the morning and how often they need to take bathroom breaks :?)
We stayed a couple of nights at the adjoining hotel, which gave us access to the Hot Springs, 23 pools heated by the volcano to different temperatures. It's so lush of a paradise, that it's pure joy to walk through and take a dip in this pool or that, hopping out when it gets to be too warm.
This waterfall was accessible- you can sit in the water and it is like a hot massage, beating the muscles in your back into submission, or rather, beating out the tension of the day. It is one of those memories that stands out from the trip.
Or at least I thought spring had arrived when I shot this yesterday. It snowed again in the night. Just a thin layer though, that should disappear later in the day ... I hope!
5 days to go until beautiful spring weather is upon us and I cannot wait!! I'm so bored at the moment, like most other bloggers out there, and I'm more then ready to hang up my coats + embrace the warm weather. I've had a good run this winter, as I am not a winter girl, but fair's fair and I am OVER the cold, layering + wintery fabrics. I'm excited for colours, dresses, swimmers + all things summery and I feel more myself out in the sunshine. So next Monday, it will be the first day of Spring + I'll have no excuse whatsoever for any dose of mondayitis!
Lucky I have a new toy to play with (lipstick) or I would probably be pulling out my hair in transeasonal frustration! Hopefully you can see the colour better this time (Maybelline Moisture Extreme in Cool Watermelon) although the rising sun stole the limelight a little in these shots. Which I am not complaining about mind you, bring on the sunshine!!
