Last weekend Sterling Hundley invited me to visit the State of the Art show at the Delaware Art Museum with him. Here's a few pics of our adventures.

The stacks at the Waterfront, Pittsburgh, PA...I tilted for this shot...which is abnormal for me, but I wanted the stacks to come out of the bottom right corner.

Product development intensified. During the 1960s
BT began series production of walkie trucks and
stackers. The expanding product offering was
reflected in sales figures, with exports of BT’s own
products rising to 50 percent. During the decade
the first BT reach trucks were manufactured.
To further strengthen customer service, BT
created its own leasing and rental operations.
Within a short time BT signed several contracts that
established vital, long-term relationships. BT was
a forerunner in this respect and has continued to
develop this successful concept ever since.
During the 1960s BT collaborated with Saab
to produce aircraft hydraulics. The aircraft manufacturer’s
stringent requirements were proof
of the high quality level BT was able to deliver.
The cooperation had a major impact on the
development
of production technology and quality
awareness at BT.
Global expansion continued. BT began building
an international sales and service organization in
several European countries, including Benelux,
Denmark, United Kingdom and Germany.
South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
Books I want to read by the end of the year. I won 'New Moon' in a raffle and reluctantly bought 'Twilight,' but I figure it goes along with my graduate research into young adult literature. 'Jesus Land' and 'Inheritance' aren't on my grad school reading list; just books I thought would be good reads.
Books shown (bottom to top):
- Maus II by Art Spiegelman
- Jesus Land by Julia Scheeres
- The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
- Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
- The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
- New Moon by Stephanie Meyer
- Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Stacking rings made from sterling silver, etched copper, and etched brass. I've never made or worn stacking rings, they are very comfortable. I made one that acts as a spacer between the etched elements, so they don't get all jumbled together.
