The Great Housing Bubble cultivated a gentility of entitlement, a sordid societal residue, a system of reliance, a conviction among people that they may possess anything they wish just... at The Unceremonious Fall from Entitlement (redux)

Those Who Bring SunShine Into The Lives Of Other's .. Cannot Keep It From Themselves
JAMES M. BARRIE ~
Have AGreat Weekend :)
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he’d call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?
For those unaware of the term "common" it refers to, in general terms, land owned by one person over which another person is entitled to exercise rights of common the most widespread right being that to pasture cattle, horses, sheep or other animals with these rights generally exercisable in common with others. However, in legal terms, the situation is more complex. There is no single definition of the term 'common land', or indeed of 'common' or 'common rights'. On both Lincoln's South and West Commons horses are to be found and although no longer seen I can remember cattle being on the West Common many years ago.
Those crab were a nightmare to photograph. My great nikon prove completly ineficient in capturing them; this picture comes from my compact camera!

The Burcht, a small ringshaped fortress is argueably the oldest building in Leiden. The first wooden structures found during archaeological surveys were dated around 1,000 AD. The first remains of the stone stronghold are from 1200.
When I was in my teens and early 20’s me and my friends used to come here during the long summer nights to play guitar, sing, drink beer smoke weed. I have quite a few happy memories that are still wandering around that place.
Some traditions never seem to die. When I was walking around Leiden with Fotomom, I met these kids who were happy lively souls having a good time with eachother. When I asked if I could take their picture they were rather aprehensive. The girl on the left with the scarf told me I’d better take a happy picture of them. A week or so before they had been photographed by a journalist from a local paper and they were portrait as bad lazy kids who had nothing else to do than to hang out and be loud. I thought that was rather unfair. They reminded me of me and my friends. And I told them I had been hanging out with my friends at the Burcht just like they did, but that it was now only a happy memory, since it had been 15 years ago or so.
That is why I asked them to act silly and cheerful so I could portray them in a more positive way. This is the result. Unfortunately I don’t have any of their e-mail addresses, because I would love to send them this picture.

De Burcht, een klein ringvormig fort is waarschijnlijk het oudste gebouw in Leiden. De eerste houten structuur die is gevonden tijdens archeologische opgravingen werd rond 1.000 N.C. gedateerd. De eerste stenen overblijfselen zijn van 1200.
In mijn tienerjaren en later kwamen mijn vrienden en ik hier om de lange zomeravonden te vieren. We speelden gitaar, zongen, dronken bier en rookten soms wat wiet zoals kinderen van die leeftijd nou eenmaal doen. Er dwalen nog steeds veel mooie herinneringen van mij rond op die plaats.
Sommige tradities lijken nooit verloren te gaan. Toen ik er met Fotomom rondliep, ontmoette ik deze kinderen die lekker vrollijk waren en het uitstekend naar hun zin hadden. Ik vroeg ze of ik een foto van ze mocht nemen, maar daar waren ze niet zo blij mee. Het meisje links met de sjaal vertelde mij dat ik er maar beter een vrolijke foto van zou maken. Een week daarvoor waren ze door een journalist van een plaatselijke krant gefotografeerd en in zijn artikel werden ze afgeschilderd als agressieve luie kinderen die de hele dag niets anders te doen hadden dan maar wat rondhangen en mensen lastig vallen. En dat vond ik niet eerlijk. Ze waren precies zoals ik en mijn vrienden. Dus zei ik ze dat ik precies hetzelfde als zij hadden gedaan. Maar dat was nu nog slechts een mooie herinnering want het was al minstens 15 jaar geleden.
Dus vroeg ik ze om lekker gek te doen voor ik de foto nam zodat ik ze op een positieve manier kon vastleggen. Hier zie je het resultaat. Helaas heb ik van geen van hen een e-mail adres, want ik zou ze maar wat graag deze foto sturen.

Those cows look like they've been grazing in the funny mushroom patch! Swift's Brookfield Butter advertisement published in the October 1943 issue of The American Home magazine
Sometimes nothing sparks friendship faster than having a common enemy.
I saw this friendly guy and his girlfriend in the sporting goods store where my wife and I were shopping for cycling items.
It's official now. Even Jesus hates the Yankees.
His t-shirt message really gave me a laugh since I grew up hating the New York Yankees baseball team. I resented the fact that they were such a wealthy team could hire the best baseball players and usually win.
He was delighted to meet another Yankee-hater and was amused that I wanted to take his picture in the backpack aisle. He said getting rid of the Yankees is his formula for world peace. We laughed at that. He added "Except in New York, there wouldn't be peace there." I joked back "Yes, New York's loss would have to be viewed as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good."
P.S. I think I found religion today. :-)

The 1901 Census has a George G G Chapman, aged 16 and a single Millers Son \Journeyman, living near The Lion, Panxworth, with his parents, James, (aged 47 and a Miller from Claxton) and Jane Ellen, (aged 48 and from Salhouse). Also resident were sister Evelyn L. (aged 19, born Panxworth), and brother James E, (aged 7 and born Panxworth), as well as an elderly couple, the Mayletts who boarded with them.
Using the high level search of the 1911 Census, there appears to be no trace of George still in England & Wales.

The extension to Hersin Communal Cemetery was begun by French troops, who made over 100 burials, and was taken over by Commonwealth troops and field ambulances in March 1916. It was used until October 1918. The extension contains 224 Commonwealth burials of the First World War; many of the graves are of engineers, mostly from tunneling companies.

Canadian Tunnellers played a big role in the success of the attack at Vimy Ridge on the 9th April 1917, where a number of simultaneous explosion tore the german front line apart. Sapper Chapman may well have been involved in those and the subsequent actions that petered out in the costly Battle of Arras.

The 1901 Census has a 7 year old James living “near the Broad” Ranworth, having been born at Trunch. This was the household of his parents, James, (aged 35, a Gamekeeper from East Runton), and Lillian, (aged 30 from Northrepps). Also there were brother Jack, (aged 2, born Ranworth), and sisters Charlotte, (aged 6, born Trunch), Gladys, (age 9, born Southrepps), Jessie, (aged 11, born Southrepps), and Maud, (aged 4, born Ranworth).
By 1911 our 17 year old James is registered in the district of Bourne, Lincolnshire.
The 6th Battalion was one of the New Army units that had its first real taste of war when it landed at Suvla Bay on the 6th August 1915. It was intended to unlock the stalemate of the campaign by taking the enemy from behind. Instead, due to ineffectual leadership and poor planning, the troops stayed on the beach, suffered casualties at the hands of a few armed Turkish policeman, (very ably led) and would remain pinned down for the rest of the campaign. Meanwhile at Helles, a number of diversionary attacks intended to draw reserves away from the Suvla area led to a very high death toll. The phrase “Lions led by Donkeys” springs to mind.

A scan of a press cutting regarding the sinking of the transport ship Royal Edward, with a loss of over 1,000 troops and crew. The thread that follows contains a couple of links relating to the sinking.
1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t...
A passage from the History of Norfolk Regiment tells the rest of the story. Colonel Tonge refers to the loss of 300 men, the best draft that ever left Felixstowe. These men volunteered to join the Essex Regiment and appear to have constituted the drafts of June 23 and July 24 1915. They were part of the reinforcements carried by the transport "Royal Edward" which was torpedoed and sunk in the Aegean Sea on August 14th 1915. She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her.Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved, and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men. The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal.

Heavy rains over the next few days limited the allies opportunity for further combat so it may be that Private Southgate, like Private Neve above died of wounds received on the 31st July

From the Bedfords War Diary.
30 Jul 1916 At 3.30 a.m. "A" Company moved up into its forming up position along the SUNKEN Road just East of the British Front Line Trench, ready for the attack at ZERO HOUR. At ZERO HOUR the Company attacked the MALTZ HORN FARM and Trench and captured it. They attacked in two lined, 1/2 Company extended in each Line. The attack was a Brilliant success, from 70 to 80 Germans being killed in the Trench, and one Prisoner taken. The Farm itself was found not to be held. As soon as "A" Company had cleared the MALTZ HORN GERMAN Trench, they were ordered to rejoin the Battalion in our original front line. This they did and suffered about 30 Casualties in the whole operation. 2nd Lieutenant H.C.LOVELY was wounded in this Operation at 4.55 a.m. Orders had been previously given to the Battalion that as soon as the 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment had moved up to support the attacking Battalions, the Battalion were to move up into their positions in the Trenches just South of TRONES WOOD. This was done at about 5.45 a.m. The attack was severely hampered by a dense fog causing the attacking Battalions to lose touch. At about 6.30 a.m., Officers Commanding 17th and 20th Kings Liverpool called for reinforcements. Orders were given for "B" and "C" Companies to move up in support, but these Companies were stopped by the O.C. 17th Bn.Lings Liverpool Regiment on reaching him, as he could get no information from Officer Commanding 19th and 20th Kings Liverpool Regiment as to here support was required. These two Companies therefore remained with Officer Commanding 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment. At about 6.45 a.m. Headquarters moved up to the HAIRPIN BEND and joined the Officer Commanding 20th Bn. Kings Liverpool Regiment. As no information could be given by him as to what was happening in front, "B" & "C" Companies were ordered to stay where they were with O.C. 17th Bn.Kings Liverpool Regiment. At 6.45 a.m. Lieutenant H.A.CHAMEN was seriously wounded. At 9 a.m. Lieutenant J.T.COE and 2nd Lieut.A.L.GORDON were wounded. At 10 a.m. Lieutenant W.WHITE with "A" Company were sent off to get touch with the French. They got touch with them and found that they had also been held up and were digging in. "A" Company therefore dug in on their left just SOUTH of MALTZ HORN FARM. At about 1.30 p.m. orders were received to consolidate the MALTZ HORN RIDGE from ARROW HEAD COPSE to the French Left. At 11.30 a.m. 2nd Lieutenant F.A.SLOAN was wounded. "D" Company under Captain L.F.BEAL were sent to connect up from MALTZ HORN FARM to the left of "A" Company, this they did and dug in. "B" and "C" Companies under Captain R.O.WYNNE moved off at 3 p.m. and dug a NEW TRENCH 300 yards long connecting up ARROW HEAD COPSE to the North end of the GERMAN MALTZ HORN Trench. The Companies were well dug in by 7 p.m. All Units that could be collected at HAIRPIN BEND were sent off at 1 p.m. to hold the old German Front Line. Trench running from MALTZ HORN FARM Northwards towards ARROW HEAD COPSE. By 7 p.m. the MALTZ HORN RIDGE was well consolidated, the whole position being heavily shelled throughout the day. At about 8 p.m. Orders were received that the Brigade were to be relieved. the Battalion was relieved by the 4th Bn.Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, Commanded by Lt.Colonel SWAINSON. The relief commenced at about 2 a.m. and completed by 6 a.m. The Battalion then withdrew to our old Bivouac at 10 a.m. on the 31st July, 1916.
The Casualties during these operations were: -
OFFICERS 6. OTHER RANKS 186x x includes 9 Wounded at Duty.
31 Jul 1916 - The Citadel Battalion in Bivouac at F.15.b. Reference Map 62.d. N.E. Speech made to the Battalion by Major General J.S.M.SHEA, C.B., D.S.O., Commanding 30th Division, on 31st July, 1916. "I have come here this morning to thank you all for the way that you fought yesterday. It may seem to most of you that after doing all you could, you were only successful in capturing a small amount of ground. This however does not in any way represent the results of your hard fighting. It came to my knowledge only this morning, that eleven of the freshest German Battalions (The 12th Bavarian reserve) had just been brought up on the front which you attacked. There were only 8 Battalions actually fighting for the Division, and judging from the number of prisoners taken, and the number of casualties known to have been inflicted on the enemy, it is clear that you were instrumental in completely preventing what would have been a very strong counter attack on the Bantams in TRONES WOOD. The Army Commander has told me to thank you for him, and to his thanks I add mine and my hearty congratulations. Colonel Poyntz I congratulate you on your Battalion and on your men."

Edward H Ward
Australian Imperial Force
The 1901 Census has a 12 year old Edward H A Ward, born Panxworth, living near the Lion Inn, Ranworth with Panxworth. This was the household of his parents, Aaron Edward, (aged 44 and from Lingwood, employed as an Assistant Carrier) and Eliza M, (aged 42 and from Strumpshaw), as well as sisters Constance C, (aged 10, born Panxworth), Florence F.F, (aged 16, born Upton and employed as a School Teacher), Maude S, (aged 15, born Upton), Pleasance H, (aged 5, born Panxworth) and brother Walter. T (aged 8, born Panxworth).
Edward does not appear on the 1911 Census, (as far as I can tell !)
Edward’s Australian Army record can be viewed here:-

Edward Henry Ward signed his enlistment papers on the 29th December 1914, giving his trade as Farm hand. He stated he had served previously but had been discharged on ground of “interic” (Enteric) fever. His mother, Eliza was given as his next of kin.
After basic training he was transferred to the 2nd Battalion and went to Gallipoli with them. In mid July he was evacuated, with what looks like “Scabies” although other reports describe a condition that might best be called “Genital Warts“, re-joining his unit on the 5th August 1915. On the 14th February 1916 he was transferred to the 54th Battalion, then stationed at Tel-El_Kebir, where he was promoted to Driver. The unit moved to France, with Edward arriving at Marseilles on the 27.6.16.
Post war end he seems to have a few discipline problems, being found drunk on duty, and overstaying leave. He was eventually discharged in October 1919.
54th Battalion formed part of the 5th Division AIF.

Model Lauren
A photographer friend of mine is shooting a calender for a client. He ask me to assist in the model's test shots to decide who will be selected. Lauren's is one of the potential models and her eyes just blew me away. This is the way they looked in person. I did not enhance them.
Strobist Info: AB 400 @1/4 in AB 22" beauty dish above camera. Silver reflector below camera. Fired by Pocket Wizards.
I was playing with photomatix pro. This wasn't the most spetacular morning that I have come across these lights, but it was nice to get in some shots nonetheless. I haven't taken any pics all week. I so can't wait for the weekend!
Thank you, in advance, to those of you who take a moment to leave a comment and/or fave my photo. I appreciate it tremendously.
Sanctuary Lamp c. 1855 - Gilt brass, manufactured by J. Hardman & Company.
Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (British, 1812-1862)
Pugin’s promotion of a Gothic Revival Style coincided with a tremendous boom of the building of churches for England’s growing industrial centers. He rapidly became the leading architect for the Roman Catholic Church, executing designs for architecture as well as interior fittings, such as this sanctuary lamp.
Pugin’s writings on Gothic art had a great impact on artists and designers of the next generation, including William Morris.
Gilt brass is simply a brass that has a gold wash over it. This method was commonly used on drawer pulls, brass feet,and many other metal accents on furniture, mostly so that the brass would not have to be polished. The gold would always stay bright and shiny.
Gilt surfaces should not be polished. A solution of mild soap and water does all the cleaning required. Anything more harsh or abrasive will only remove the gilt finish.
The Huntington:
A private, nonprofit institution, The Huntington was founded in 1919 by Henry E. Huntington, an exceptional businessman who built a financial empire that included railroad companies, utilities, and real estate holdings in Southern California.
Huntington was also a man of vision – with a special interest in books, art, and gardens. During his lifetime, he amassed the core of one of the finest research libraries in the world, established a splendid art collection, and created an array of botanical gardens with plants from a geographic range spanning the globe. These three distinct facets of The Huntington are linked by a devotion to research, education, and beauty.
In 1919, Henry and Arabella Huntington signed the indenture that transferred their San Marino property and collections to a nonprofit educational trust, creating The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, which hosts more than 500,000 visitors each year.
St Mary, Boxford, Suffolk
It is always a pleasure to come back to Boxford. It's always been one of my favourite Suffolk villages. Many of the buildings on its high street are contemporary with those not far off at Lavenham, and the place really deserves to be better known. The church is full of interest, and is one of a number in Suffolk that were unaccountably missed out of the Simon Jenkins book England's Thousand Best Churches, although I dare say that not a day goes by when someone doesn't point out the omission one somewhere in England to him, poor man. Boxford was one of the wealthy 15th century cloth-producing villages, and it is as if a vestige of its former significance survives in church and village, as if they still busy themselves independently of the modern world.
St Mary is on a rise, near the centre of the village. Like nearby Kersey, it presents its north face to the village, but its grandest aspect is to the south. The north porch, the usual entrance, is perhaps Suffolk's finest 14th century wooden porch, and the oldest part of the external structure. The south porch, however, is one of the county's grandest 15th century affairs, in bright stone. Six elegant niches line the top, flanking a larger seventh. In the spandrels are an angel and the Blessed Virgin, depicting the Annunciation. It is still possible to pick out the words of the Hail Mary inscribed on the angel's banner. Again, as at Kersey, the donors paid for a porch on the less-used side of the building, perhaps because there was already a fine porch to the north, a reminder that these buildings were raised as parish churches, not village ones.
Above these porches, the 14th century tower rises, a century older now than the church against it. Perhaps it would have been rebuilt if the Reformation had not intervened. Elegant and beautiful, decorated with grotesques, it is topped by a little wood and lead spire. This repays another look, since it is bedecked with Perpendicular flying buttresses. The slate sundial below is also attractive.
St Mary is open every day to visitors. Whether you enter from the north or the south you step into a bright, clean interior, the light from the clerestory filling the nave and aisles. This is a great barn of light, the only colour coming from the glass of the east window. This is by Rosemary Rutherford, and depicts the Transfiguration in flowing chunks of colour, which lends the chancel an air of mystery, giving it a feeling of devotion and prayer. Her work can be found at a number of churches in East Anglia and the East Midlands, most notably perhaps at Hinderclay in Suffolk.
Turning back to the west, perhaps the most memorable feature of the nave is the striking 17th century font cover, which opens out like the one at Bramford. Inside are painted ribbons with quotes from St John's Gospel. Two are taken from Nicodemus' question and Christ's answer: How can a man be borne which is olde? and Except a man be borne of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. The other is from the Last Supper: Christ's answer, when Peter baulks at Christ washing his feet: If I wash the(e) not thou hast no part with me.
The late 15th Century south aisle chapel has a feeling of its former importance and an indication of the wealth of the village at that time, with tall, elaborate niches either side of the east window, retaining remains of their former paint. St Edmund stands to the north of the altar. This village was so busy and prosperous, Mortlock notes that there were no less than four Chantry guilds here, at least one of which must have had its altar here. Although nothing remains of the rood screen, it is clear that the rood loft must have extended over the parclose screens of the chantry chapels, as at Dennington.
Boxford has more than its fair share of intriguing post-Reformation memorials, some in brass, some in stone. Two of particular note are here in the south aisle chapel. One is for Elizabeth Hyam, for the fourth time widow, who by a fall that brought on a mortification was at last hastened to her end on the 4th May 1748 in her 113th year. We have no way of knowing how much this is an exaggeration, but she may well have been born in the reign of Charles I, and was perhaps the last person in Suffolk to remember the English Civil War. People born around the time she died could conceivably, in their old age, have seen the Oxford Movement rise to prominence.
The other memorial is rather more pathetic. It is a tiny brass, set in the floor. It is to David Birde, a Rector's son, who died at the age of a few months in 1606. He lies in his bed, with two little shoes under it. Another little brass shield, once part of a larger composition, depicts the Blessed Virgin as the Queen of Heaven, and is probably early 16th century. Another, later, brass remembers William Doggett, Merchant Adventurer.
Not far off from this splendid church is another. After a pint at the Fleece or the White Hart, you could do worse than climb the hill to the outskirts of the village, where you will find another fascinating medieval church at Groton. This parish was the home church of the Winthrop family, who established the State of Massachusetts and have been linked with Groton's fortunes since.
One of those special memories, on top of being 80 plus year old ! I grew up with the corvette, remembering the 1969 verses 1968. or even what was different ! colors, lines here and there chrome , side pipes removable roof panels1,2, piece, small block / big block ! wheel size and width, best of all the mind works and what an experience, as for resemblance differences ! standard / automatic , as even compared, the new even are easier torahs and wax, a smile in every corner, and fun to be had, even car shows ! Enjoy the view ! 55 five years ago, BTW mine first 1971, still own ! now the Nikon D810 another story !

I just thought a companion image would be nice to go with "Blue, Red, and 'Golden.' " This is from nearly the same...uh...muddy cliff. This one was taken as the sun set.
Taken from the northern extent of the area known as Marshall Beach just past Baker Beach in San Francisco, CA. Some people still refer this as Ft. Point Rock. One must ALWAYS use extreme caution here. More people have died here from rogue waves and falls than I want to think about.
