History
The Fiesta was originally developed under the project name "Bobcat" (not to be confused with the subsequent rebadged Mercury variant of the Ford Pinto) and approved for development by Henry Ford II in September 1972. Development targets indicated a production cost US$100 less than the current Escort. The car was to have a wheelbase longer than that of the Fiat 127 (although shorter than some other rivals, like the Peugeot 104, Renault 5 and Volkswagen Polo), but with an overall length shorter than that of the Escort. The final proposal was developed by Tom Tjaarda at Ghia. The project was approved for production in December 1973, with Ford's engineering centres in Cologne and Dunton (Essex) collaborating.
Ford estimated that 500,000 Fiestas a year would be produced, and built an all-new factory near Valencia, Spain; a trans-axle factory near Bordeaux, France; factory extensions for the assembly plants in Dagenham, UK. Final assembly also took place in Valencia.
The name Fiesta belonged to General Motors when the car was designed, as they had used the name for the Oldsmobile Fiesta in the 1950s; however, it was freely given for Ford to use on their new supermini. Ford's marketing team had preferred the name Bravo, but Henry Ford II vetoed it in favour of the Fiesta name. The motoring press had begun speculating about the existence of the Bobcat project since 1973, but it was not until December 1975 that Ford officially announced it as the Fiesta. A Fiesta was on display at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 1976, and the car went on sale in France and Germany in September 1976; to the frustration of UK dealerships, right hand drive versions only began to appear in the UK in January 1977.
Mechanically, the Fiesta followed tradition, with an end-on four-speed manual transmission of the Ford BC-Series mounted to a new version of the Ford Kent OHV engine, dubbed "Valencia" after the brand new Spanish factory in Almussafes, Valencia, developed especially to produce the new car. Ford's plants in Dagenham, England, and Saarlouis and Cologne (from 1979) in Germany, also manufactured Fiestas. To cut costs and speed up the research and development, the new powertrain package destined for the Fiesta was tested in Fiat 127 development "mules". Unlike several rivals, which used torsion bars in their suspension, the Fiesta used coil springs. The front suspension was of Ford's typical "track control arm" arrangement, where MacPherson struts were combined with lower control arms and longitudinal compression links. The standard rear suspension used a beam axle, trailing links and a Panhard rod, whilst an anti-roll bar was included in the sports package. All Mk1 Fiestas featured 12-inch wheels as standard, with disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear.
Model history
Although not the first Ford vehicle to feature front-wheel drive (the 1960s Taunus produced by Ford of Germany laid claim to that title), the Fiesta is widely credited as being Ford's first globally successful front-wheel-drive model. UK sales began in January 1977, where it was available from £1,856 for the basic 950 cc-engined model.
It was only the second hatchback mini-car to have been built in the UK at this stage, being launched a year after the Vauxhall Chevette, but a year before the Chrysler Sunbeam and four years before the Austin Metro. The millionth Fiesta was produced in 1979.
The car was initially available in Europe with the Valencia 957 cc (58.4 cu in) I4 (high compression and low compression options), and 1,117 cc (68.2 cu in) engines and in Base, Popular, L, GL (1978 onward), Ghia and S trim, as well as a van. The U.S. Mark I Fiesta was built in Saarlouis, Germany but to slightly different specifications; U.S. models were Base, Decor, Sport, and Ghia, the Ghia having the highest level of trim.[7] These trim levels changed very little in the Fiesta's three-year run in the USA, from 1978 to 1980. All U.S. models featured the more powerful 1,596 cc (97.4 cu in) engine, (which was the older "Crossflow" version of the Kent, rather than the Valencia) fitted with a catalytic converter and air pump to satisfy strict Californian emission regulations), energy-absorbing bumpers, side-marker lamps, round sealed-beam headlamps, improved crash dynamics and fuel system integrity as well as optional air conditioning (a/c was not available in Europe). In the U.S. market, the Ford Escort replaced both the Fiesta and the compact Pinto in 1981.
A sporting derivative (1.3 L Supersport) was offered in Europe for the 1980 model year, using the 1.3 L (79 cu in) Kent Crossflow engine, effectively to test the market for the similar XR2 introduced a year later, which featured a 1.6 L version of the same engine. Black plastic trim was added to the exterior and interior. The small square headlights were replaced with larger circular ones resulting in the front indicators being moved into the bumper to accommodate the change. With a quoted performance of 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 9.3 seconds and 105 mph (169 km/h) top speed, the XR2 hot hatch became a cult car beloved of boy racers throughout the 1980s.
Minor revisions appeared across the range in late 1981, with larger bumpers to meet crash worthiness regulations and other small improvements in a bid to maintain showroom appeal ahead of the forthcoming second generation.
In 1978, the Fiesta overtook the Vauxhall Chevette as Britain's best-selling supermini, but in 1981 it was knocked off the top spot by British Leyland's Austin Metro and was still in second place at the end of 1982.

These must of been for individual sale, hence the asinine nutrition label on each bottle! Nutrition!? It's a freakin' bottle of fizzy sugar water, it's not meant to be nutritious! Nostalgia ruined by our overreaching government and the FDA. The FDA demands ignorant rules such as this, then works with China to show them how to manufacture American-made products, and at the same time lets drugs go to market with side effects including "death", and "suicidal thoughts and actions". Is it any wonder why middle America is fed up with our government today!?
Target Shopping Center early Saturday morning during our eh snow storm. Used my truck lights on high beams to paint the sidewalk balls moving the lights with each bracket. 5 exposures 1/2 stop apart photomatix. Also new firmware upgrade so hopefully the noise banding issue is gone.

The original snack bar was located here when the store opened in October 1997, at the time featuring Pizza Hut Express and Taco Bell Express. During the store's 2008 renovation it was redone with Starbucks replacing Taco Bell and opened that October. For the spring 2021 renovation Pizza Hut Express and the snack bar were replaced with a self-serve station, which still features products from both at certain times of the day.

Podría ser que una estrella vespertina
pose su luz sobre ti.
Ojalá cuando la oscuridad caiga,
tu corazón te sea fiel.
Sigues un sendero solitario,
¡cuán lejos estás de tu hogar!
(La noche ha llegado)
Ten fe y hallarás el camino.
(La noche ha caído)
Ahora una promesa vive en ti.
Ojalá la llamada de las sombras
se aleje.
Ojalá tu viaje continúe
hasta que luzca el día.
Cuando superes la noche,
ojalá despiertes y veas el sol.

A view of Target Field not seen to often, you can see the bike trail and North Star rail tracks going under the stadium, as well as the loading dock and player entrance under the 7th St. Bridge, because of the tight fit, the main entrance is around the corner in right field.

Target #2296 (127,239 square feet)
200 Marquis Parkway, The Marquis, Williamsburg, VA
Opened July 21st, 2008
Yesterday, we went to Target to get some things for my son's birthday that is in a couple of weeks. I remembered that Target has benches outside and so I took my camera (I warned my husband beforehand though so he wouldn't think I was crazy when I whipped out the camera at Target =). Anyway, I was SURE that their benches were red...well, I was wrong. =/ We go to Target at least twice a week (sometimes twice a day - ha =) and I was positive that the benches were red! Nope. They were silver. =( Anyway, that messed up my Bench Monday pic idea and so I decided to use the buggy instead. So today's Bench Monday pic is dedicated to one of my favorite stores...TARGET!!! =)

I was a bit surprised to see this still open! Most Target Optical locations, at least in my neck of the woods, were removed a long time ago.

The Gūr-e Amīr or Guri Amir is a mausoleum of the Asian conqueror Tamerlane (also known as Timur) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. It occupies an important place in the history of Persian Architecture as the precursor and model for later great Mughal architecture tombs, including Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra, built by Timur's descendants, the ruling Mughal dynasty of North India. It has been heavily restored.
Gur-e Amir is Persian for "Tomb of the King". This architectural complex with its azure dome contains the tombs of Tamerlane, his sons Shah Rukh and Miran Shah and grandson Ulugh Beg and Muhammad Sultan. Also honoured with a place in the tomb is Timur's teacher Mir Sayyid Baraka.
The earliest part of the complex was built at the end of the 14th century by the orders of Muhammad Sultan. Now only the foundations of the madrasah and khanaka, the entrance portal and a part of one of four minarets remains.
The construction of the mausoleum itself began in 1403 after the sudden death of Muhammad Sultan, Tamerlane's heir apparent and his beloved grandson, for whom it was intended. Timur had built himself a smaller tomb in Shahrisabz near his Ak-Saray palace. However, when Timur died in 1405 on campaign on his military expedition to China, the passes to Shahrisabz were snowed in, so he was buried here instead. Ulugh Beg, another grandson of Tamerlane, completed the work. During his reign the mausoleum became the family crypt of the Timurid Dynasty.
The entrance portal to the Muhammad Sultan ensemble is richly decorated with carved bricks and various mosaics. The decoration of the portal was accomplished by the skilled craftsman (ustad) Muhammad bin Mahmud Isfahani. Outwardly the Gur-e Amir Mausoleum is a one-cupola building. It is famous for its simplicity of construction and for its solemn monumentality of appearance. It is an octahedral building crowned by an azure fluted dome (see picture). The exterior decoration of the walls consists of the blue, light-blue and white tiles organized into geometrical and epigraphic ornaments against a background of terracotta bricks. The dome (diameter - 15 m (49.21 ft), height - 12.5 m (41.01 ft)) is of a bright blue color with deep rosettes and white spots. Heavy ribbed fluting gives an amazing expressiveness to the cupola.
During the reign of Ulugh Beg a doorway was made to provide an entrance into the mausoleum.
Inwardly the mausoleum appears as a large, high chamber with deep niches at the sides and diverse decoration. The lower part of the walls covered are by onyx slabs composed as one panel. Each of these slabs is decorated with refined paintings. Above the panel there is a marble stalactite cornice. Large expanses of the walls are decorated with painted plaster; the arches and the internal dome are ornamented by high-relief papier-mache cartouches, gilded and painted. The ornate carved headstones in the inner room of the mausoleum merely indicate the location of the actual tombs in a crypt directly underneath the main chamber. Under Ulugh Beg's government a solid block of dark green jade was placed over the grave of Tamerlane. Formerly this stone had been used at a place of worship in the Chinese emperor's palace, then as the throne of Kabek Khan (a descendant of Genghis Khan) in Karshi. Next to Tamerlane's grave lie the marble tombstones of his sons Miran Shah and Shah Rukh and also of grandsons - Muhammad Sultan and Ulugh Beg. Tamerlane's spiritual teacher Mir Said Baraka, also rests here. In 1740, the Persian warlord Nadir Shah tried to carry off the valuable tomb stone, but it broke in two. This was interpreted as a bad omen. His advisers urged him to leave the stone to its rightful place. The second time the stone was disturbed was on June 19, 1941 when Soviet archaeologists opened the crypt. The anthropologist Mikhail Gerasimov was able to reconstruct Tamerlane's facial features from his skull, and it was also confirmed that he was 172 cm in height, a giant for his day, and would have walked with a pronounced limp. Further historical information about the assassination of Ulugh Beg and the authenticity of the other graves was also confirmed. Timur's skeleton and that of Ulugh Beg, his grandson, were reinterred with full Islamic burial rites in November 1942, at the beginning of the Battle of Stalingrad.
De opslag van doelen voor het Cavalerie Schiet Kamp nabij het nul-punt op de Vliehors.
Toen het CSK nog actief werd er geregeld allerlei materiaal naar Vlieland aangevoerd dat dienst moest doen als doel voor de schietende tanks op het eiland.
In het begin waren dit tanks die door onze eigen krijgsmacht waren afgedankt, zoals Sherman tanks, maar ook de M-10 Wolverine.
Begin jaren '70 werden vooral M-47 Patton tanks aangevoerd.
Deze zijn nooit gebruikt door onze Cavalerie, de eerste M-47's die naar Vlieland werden overgebracht kwamen uit Duitsland.
Daarna kwamen er Patton tanks uit België, en in het laatst kwamen er Patton tanks uit Italië.
In de tussentijd kwamen er ook tanks en andere objecten van het Nederlandse leger, zo nu en dan een Centurion tank, ook twee Centurion bergingstanks, maar zelfs een keer een puntgaaf 25 Ponder kanon dat ooit elders in Nederland als poortwacht had gediend.
Deze 25 ponder werd als coax-doel aan de oostkant van het doelgebied geplaatst, en daarop langdurig met de co-axiale mitrailleur van de schietende tanks beschoten.
Uiteindelijk werd dit kanon, dat na een paar jaar met de mitrailleur MAG te zijn beschoten weer terug naar het nul-punt gesleept, waarna het door Johannes de Boer meegenomen mocht worden als schroot.
Daar stond het een paar maanden in afwachting van sloop met de snijbrander. Ik sloopte nog de typeplaatjes van het kanon, de meeste ook al getroffen door 7,62 mm kogels.
Op het terrein van Johannes de Boer werd het kanon gezien door de eigenaar van de originele trekker van zo'n kanon, een Morris Commercial C-8
Hij melde zich bij de Boer, en de koop werd gesloten, het kanon ging naar de wal.
De man kocht het voor de schrootprijs, wat natuurlijk een koopje is voor zo'n zeldzaam stuk, want kom als particulier maar eens aan een 25 ponder kanon.
De Boer kreeg na afloop nog wat extra geld toegestopt van de zeer tevreden afnemer.
Helaas heb ik geen beelden van dit kanon in de verzameling, mocht iemand die wel hebben; ik houd mij ten zeerste aanbevolen!
Begin jaren tachtig kwamen er ook nog diverse Sherman tanks naar Vlieland.
In den lande waren deze gebruikt voor de oefening pantser nabij bestrijding, waarbij infanteristen het werpen van een molotov-coctail op een tank moesten beoefenen.
Ik heb dat zelf ook nog moeten doen tijdens mijn diensttijd.
Door milieu-regels, de omgeving van zo'n tank was natuurlijk doorweekt van de benzine- en olieresten, en het veranderende beeld over het uitschakelen van tanks, werden de Shermans die hiervoor werden gebruikt opgeruimd, en belandde een deel op Vlieland.
Boven een opname van een van de Shermans die begin jaren tachtig naar Vlieland is overgebracht.
Achter de Sherman staat een M-47 Patton en op links zien we nog een stukje van een drijver van een Rhino ferry, een vlot ontworpen voor transport naar de landingsstranden van Normandië, en die Nederland na de oorlog nog heeft gebruikt, onder andere als tankvlot
