"I love my vacuum, this is my third one and it's just incredible, the service, how you stand behind your product. I just love it, I could never live without it now." "Our Handy Andy's Vacuum has survived a 17 year old Springer (Spaniel) and just incredible, he's very hairy, he has long hair and it's always everywhere all over the carpets and by the time I'm done vacuuming, my carpets look brand new." "I have hardwood floors, so I use the attachment everyday just to pick up Brady's little hairs and also have ceramic tile, so it does a nice job on both." "It's nice to have that super long cord (hose) with the attachment on the staircase. It goes all the way up. I park it at the top and I can go down 15 stairs with it and it has an extra long super cord on it too, so that you can plug it in and get to a safe area with it." "It's like they thought of everything. It has so many great features."

One of the sights of the A40 going in to London, thanks to Tesco for this masterpiece of Art Deco extravagance. Built by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners (who else?!) in 1932, was used by the Hoover Company for manufacturing vacuum cleaners. The canteen on the side (left/west) was added in 1938, and further additions were during the years. Closed in the early 1980s, acquired by Tesco in 1989, Tesco worked with the Grade 2 listing to produce a working "museum" to 1930s architecture, and well they have done too. Two main building were demolished, and the car park is on their sites. The front offices are let by Parkinson Brown, and contain many treasures within the doors, again sympathetically restored and maintained. The building is floodlit in green until 10pm.

Another gift from my daughter. This is a really cool vacuum cleaner. I'll give it a whirl very soon. I'm wondering how Shizandra will react to this.
UN MESE DI COLLAGE CON VASTAGAMMA
Già da tempo, dopo la 24H Comics Day e i diversi incontri con autori ed artisti, la sede dell’Associazione Vastagamma in Vicolo del Molino 10 a Pordenone è ormai ufficialmente non più solo una galleria espositiva ma anche un luogo di incontro, discussione e didattica (in queste settimane si sta tenendo un Corso di Fotografia Digitale) e un laboratorio dove gli artisti possono, in speciali occasioni, lavorare fianco a fianco per dar vita alle proprie opere.
L’ultima trovata di Vastagamma suggerita dall’eclettico Enrico Sist e curata dal neo-vicepresidente dell’Associazione, Zellaby, è un mese dedicato all’arte del Collage, una serie di eventi che vede coinvolti alcuni noti artisti della scena locale.
Si comincia mercoledì 17 giugno 2009 alle ore 21.15 con un incontro illustrativo, con proiezione di immagini, durante il quale verranno esposte diverse tipologie di collage e gli artisti presenti spiegheranno al pubblico il loro approccio a questa tecnica, l’uso di diversi materiali anche nell’ottica del reciclo. Verrà inoltre presentato l’evento clue di questa serie di iniziative.
“MARATONINA DEL COLLAGE”
Domenica 21 giugno dalle ore 14.30 alle ore 20.00 gli artisti
ß Carlomaria Pilloni,
ß Eleonora Cappellesso,
ß Enrico Sist,
ß Laura Trevisan,
ß Michela Buttignol,
ß Piero Cescut,
ß rEnoveapostrofi,
ß Sara Pavan,
ß Silvia Pignat
ß Zellaby
– in una sorta di jam session delle arti visive – si riuniranno presso la sede dell’Associazione per realizzare una serie di opere a collage.
Il workshop, gratuito, è aperto a tutti: esperti e meno esperti avranno la possibilità di partecipare e lavorare fianco a fianco coi noti artisti.
Non ci sono regole, non è una gara: per ciascuna opera possono essere utilizzate tutte le tecniche e i materiali possibili, l'importante è che l'assemblaggio dei "pezzi" sia alla fine un collage.
Ciascun artista si porterà il proprio materiale su cui e con cui lavorare, Vastagamma metterà a disposizione dei neofiti, o per chi vorrà giusto provare, un kit basic per collagisti; inoltre il manifestino dell'evento è concepito per poter essere ritagliato ed usato esso stesso per fare un collage.
Terza ed ultima parte.
Sabato 27 giugno alle ore 18.30 si aprirà la MOSTRA DI COLLAGE che esporrà tutti gli elaborati realizzati durante la maratonina.
Artisti noti ed in erba insieme in un’esposizione che testimonierà ancora una volta come l’Associazione Vastagamma riesca a mettere sinergicamente insieme personalità molto diverse e le faccia interagire con il pubblico che - da semplice spettatore - diventa co-protagonista.
La mostra rimarrà aperta tutti i venerdì e sabati fino al 18 luglio con orario 17.00/20.00.

The vacuum cleaner was not even plugged in but Jimmy Dean, Link and Frank were on the run.
I'm such an ass.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- The drag arms of the dredge vessel operate much like a giant vacuum cleaner to dredge a channel. The arms are lowered over the side to the channel bottom. While the Currituck travels forward at a speed of approximately two knots, the two drag arms suck a water and sand mixture, known as slurry, from the channel bottom. The slurry passes through the drag heads and pipelines into the hopper. The Currituck was off the Virginia coast from July 18-21, 2012 to dredge the federal channel of Rudee Inlet. The Currituck, one of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ dredges, is a highly utilized resource throughout coastal projects along the East Coast. During this project, approximately 7,715 cubic yards was dredged. The Wilmington, NC-based Currituck will return to Virginia next year to dredge anticipated shoaling in the channel.

Training was a very important part of life when you worked for Eastern Electricity and the establishments at Harold Hill (for engineering apprentice training) then at Essendon in Hertfordshire were well utilised.
Essendon Place, near Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK, was bought by Eastern Electricity in 1961 to bring together the various training facilities for office based staff (as opposed to industrial staff) previously developed by the pre-nationalisation undertakings and, following the addition of a new bedroom wing and sales training shop, was opened in 1962.
All new shop staff spent two weeks learning their trade. This didn't just involve the techniques of selling goods, but how they worked, how electricity was generated and distributed and the organisation of the industry.
This is an early 1960s vacuum cleaner (it would not be appropriate to call it a "Hoover") especially put together with see-through panels so that the staff could see how it works. Shop staff training in depth was done away with at privatisation.
The demonstration vacuum cleaner was donated by me to the Science Museum and was still on display in the basement last time I checked a couple of years ago.
The Baby Daisy 2 was a hand-operated mechanical vacuum cleaner made in Britain from 1904. It has a reciprocating bellows hand-operated by a long handle to create a vacuum and suck up dust, quite a revolutionary piece of household equipment in its day. It was a lumbering apparatus that took two persons to operate it, one to work the bellows and the other to do the cleaning using an assortment of nozzles. Both persons would have had to take turns as operating the bellows must have been very tiring!
John Locke’s distillery at Kilbeggan in County Westmeath is a working industrial heritage museum set up and run by local volunteers of the Kilbeggan Preservation and Development Association Ltd since 1982. In 1987 the site was bought by Cooley’s Distillery and in 2010 also secured the lease for the visitor’s centre there. To celebrate their one-millionth visitor, Locke’s Distillery Museum held a free open-day on 10th September 2011 which was well attended and a great success. Incidentally, the one-millionth visitor came from Germany.
Locke’s Distillery produces pure Pot Still Irish whiskey as well as having some 40,000 sq. ft. of storage space at Kilbeggan, also used for the storage and maturation of whiskey produced by Cooleys. Kilbeggan is also unique in having a 180 year old licensed pot still with a capacity to produce 25,000 cases a year of pot-still whiskey, most of it going to export. Since 2010 Kilbeggan distillery has also introduced its own full milling, mashing, fermentation and distillation processes carried out using more traditional methods.

This is Holkham Hall.
Holkham Hall is the home of the Coke family.
The Holkham Estate was purchased in 1609 by Sir Edward Coke. The house was built in the 18th century for Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester.
Was suprised to find that you are allowed to take photos inside Holkham Hall. So I took some.
Not of the portraits, but things like ceilings, fire places etc.
Photos at Holkham Hall are not for commerical use. You can take photos here for personnal use only.
This is The Old Kitchen.
First used in 1756. Refurbished in the 1850s. Used right up and till the outbreak of World War II.
I took this for the Henry vacuum cleaner - we have the exact same one at home!
They even put the name Henry on the sign below it.
Henry is no. 18.

This is the Central Library in Rotterdam nicknamed 'The Hoover' (vacuum cleaner for the American viewers). Behind it you see an apartment building called 'The Pencil' and on the right is the glass roof of Blaak Train Station.
The library contains over 1 million books and is well known for its collection of Erasmus.

"I love it! I think it's a great vacuum cleaner. The service is 'unbelievable!" "Got a busy household, we've got 2 dogs, I've got a rabbit." "The attachments, the vacuum cleaner works great both on the carpet, we've got hardwood floor as well and the hose attachment really comes in handy - Handy Andy's! - when working out with cleaning out the stairs or reaching high places such as doing the fans." "Been a regular customer here going on 20 years now, highly recommend it to anyone and everyone." "This is our second one and just brought it in, like I said, the service is unbelievable and it's, best vacuum cleaner we've ever owned!"
