Today was games day. My wife loves card games, board games, so once or twice per month we play for a couple of hours on our day off and she usually beats me without mercy and seemingly without effort! Or maybe I'm just not very good :-) This is Jokeren, a Dutch card game and by far her favourite. I actually won today. (First time for several months!). When her brother Jos joins us he usually beats us both.
Spotted this inside a Chuck E. Cheese. There's something about this poster that just seems... "off" to me.

Although he's looking away from me I feel T.I.'s pose and body language make this a strong shot.

BNSF 3929 runs the 7 car O-TOPLAU near Osage, Wyoming, with an empty in the distance going the same direction.
My winning shot that got me 3rd prize in the canon photomarathon 2007. Considering that it was my first time, i'm guessing it's more of beginner's luck. Thanks to my pal, Junhao for modeling his hand and camera.
The theme was Playtime
A last minute thing, I went to Paddy's in Ventura last night, and proceeded to win the 1st prize for best costume!
A little tribute to the Green Bay Packers for winning the National Football Conference Championship and heading to the Super Bowl.
I guess I've been a Packers fan most of my life. When I was 6 or 7 a family vacation took us through Green Bay, and we saw the Packers in a practice session back in the days of Bart Starr. We picked up a souvenir jersey for me and my Mom wanted to get #66 because she thought it would be cute for me to be "Phillip 66." Little did she know it was actually the number of the great linebacker Ray Nitschke. And then the following Christmas one of my gifts was a Packers helmet, which got a little banged up in backyard football games.
For some reason I've hung on to these two items, pictured in the diptych, for the past 40 years.
This is a great set, I love it, it's so much fun, the outfits are great, the quality is not too bad not great but not bad, Clawdeen has a small mark in her eye and Clawd has a mark on his arm, his joints seem a little out too but hopefully not too bad, I don't get why they were holding each others things but it's cute and funny at the same time, such an adorable set.

Driving home tonight I was thinking about the Seahawks and all of the challenges that they have faced over the past few decades. It seams that no matter who the coach is and what talent they have on the field, they struggle to win when it counts the most. The best leadership in the world cannot lead a team to victory when their attitudes have been defeated before they have even stepped onto the field. There is one thing for certain. This team wants to win this year and I think that we have contininued to show that it can be done at home but we need to win where it counts the most.... On the road. That is what separates the good teams from the great ones. Tomorrow they are up against a big challenge with the Chicago Bears. Here's to getting out there tomorrow and getting a much needed win for the Seattle Fans..... Even if they come up short... I know that they are going to give it everything they've got. Here's to making 2010 a winning season for at least one of these 2 home teams.

British Real Photograph postcard, no. 253.
Olivia de Havilland (1916) is a Japanese-born British-American former actress, whose career spanned from 1935 to 1988. She appeared in 49 feature films, and was one of the leading stars during the golden age of Classical Hollywood. She is best known for her early screen performances in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and Gone with the Wind (1939), and her later award-winning performances in To Each His Own (1946), The Snake Pit (1948), and The Heiress (1949).
Olivia Mary de Havilland was born in 1916, in Tokyo, Japan, to British parents. Her mother was the former film and stage actress Lilian Fontaine (Lilian Augusta Ruse), and her father was an English professor and patent attorney, Walter Augustus de Havilland. He was the author of the 1910 book The ABC of Go, which provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the Japanese board game. Her sister, Joan, later to become famous as Joan Fontaine, was born the following year. Her surname comes from her paternal grandfather, whose family was from Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Her parents divorced when Olivia was just three years old, and she moved with her mother and sister to Saratoga, California. At her high school, she fell prey to the acting bug. She made her acting debut in amateur theatre in Alice in Wonderland. After graduating, Olivia enrolled in Mills College in Oakland, where she participated in the school play A Midsummer Night's Dream and was spotted by Austrian director Max Reinhardt. She so impressed Reinhardt that he picked her up for both his stage version and, later, the Warner Bros. film version in 1935. She again was so impressive that Warner executives signed her to a seven-year contract. No sooner had the ink dried on the contract than Olivia appeared in three more films: The Irish in Us (Lloyd Bacon, 1935) with James Cagney, Alibi Ike (Ray Enright, 1935), and Captain Blood (Michael Curtiz, 1935), with the man with whom her career would be most closely identified, heartthrob Errol Flynn. They acted together in seven more films: The Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtiz, William Keighley, 1938), The Charge of the Light Brigade (Michael Curtiz, 1936), Four's a Crowd (Michael Curtiz, 1938), Dodge City (Michael Curtiz, 1939), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (Michael Curtiz, 1939), Santa Fe Trail (Michael Curtiz, 1940), and They Died with Their Boots On (Raoul Walsh, 1941). Both are also featured in a ninth film, Thank Your Lucky Stars (David Butler, 1943), although in separate scenes. Years later, she confessed that she had an intense crush on Errol Flynn during the years of their filming, saying that it was hard to resist his charms.
Olivia de Havilland achieved her initial popularity in romantic comedy films, such as The Great Garrick (1937), directed by James Whale. In 1939 Warner Bros. loaned her to David O. Selznick for the classic Gone with the Wind (Victor Fleming, 1939). Playing the sweet Melanie Hamilton, Olivia received her first nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, only to lose out to one of her co-stars in the film, Hattie McDaniel. After GWTW, Olivia returned to Warner Bros. and continued to churn out films. In 1941 she played Emmy Brown opposite Charles Boyer in Hold Back the Dawn (Mitchell Leisen, 1941), which resulted in her second Oscar nomination, this time for Best Actress. Again she lost, this time to her sister Joan for her role in Suspicion (Alfred Hitchcock, 1941). Relations between the sisters were never strong and their mutual dislike and jealousy escalated into an all-out feud after Fontaine won the Oscar. Despite the fact that de Havilland went on to win two Academy Awards of her own, they remained estranged. In a rare act of reconciliation, Olivia and her sister Joan Fontaine celebrated Christmas 1962 together along with their then-husbands and children. Denny Jackson at IMDb: "After that strong showing, Olivia now demanded better, more substantial roles than the "sweet young thing" slot into which Warners had been fitting her. The studio responded by placing her on a six-month suspension, all of the studios at the time operating under the policy that players were nothing more than property to do with as they saw fit. As if that weren't bad enough, when her contract with Warners was up, she was told that she would have to make up the time lost because of the suspension. Irate, she sued the studio, and for the length of the court battle she didn't appear in a single film. The result, however, was worth it. In a landmark decision, the court said not only that de Havilland did not have to make up the time, but that all performers were to be limited to a seven-year contract that would include any suspensions handed down. This became known as the 'de Havilland decision'; no longer could studios treat their performers as mere cattle."
Returning to screen in 1946, Olivia de Havilland made up for lost time by appearing in four films, one of which finally won her the Oscar that had so long eluded her. It was the romantic drama To Each His Own (Mitchell Leisen, 1946), in which she played Josephine Norris to the delight of critics and audiences alike. Olivia was the strongest performer in Hollywood for the balance of the 1940s. In 1948 she turned in another strong showing in The Snake Pit (Anatole Litvak, 1948) as Virginia Cunningham, a woman suffering a mental breakdown. The end result was another Oscar nomination for Best Actress, but she lost to Jane Wyman in Johnny Belinda (Jean Negulesco, 1948). As in the two previous years, she made only one film in 1949, but she again won a nomination and the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Heiress (William Wyler, 1949) wth Montgomery Clift. After a three-year hiatus, de Havilland returned to star in My Cousin Rachel (Henry Koster, 1952) with Richard Burton. From that point on, she made few appearances on the screen but was seen on Broadway and in some television shows. In the cinema, she was seen in the romantic drama Light in the Piazza (Guy Green, 1962), and the psychological thriller Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (Robert Aldrich, 1964) opposite Bette Davis. Her last screen appearance was as the Queen Mother in The Fifth Musketeer (Ken Annakin, 1979), and her final career appearance was in the TV movie The Woman He Loved (Charles Jarrott, 1988) about the love story between American divorcee Wallis Simpson and Edward VII. She married and divorced twice: her first husband was writer Marcus Goodrich (1946-1953) and her second writer-husband was Pierre Galante (1955-1979), an executive editor for the French journal Paris Match. With both husbands, she had a child. She lost her son, Benjamin Goodrich (1949), to Hodgkin's disease in 1991. With Galante, she had daughter Gisèle Galante (1956). The former couple remained close friends, and after Galante became ill with cancer, she nursed him until his death in 1998. Since the mid-1950s, she lives in Paris in France. In 1962, she showed flair as a writer with Every Frenchman Has One, a light-hearted autobiographical account of her attempts at adapting to French life. Two weeks before her 101st birthday, she was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2017 Birthday Honours by Queen Elizabeth II for services to Drama. She is the oldest woman ever to receive the honor. In a statement, she called it "the most gratifying of birthday presents." Today Olivia de Havilland enjoys a quiet retirement in Paris.

Wrigleyville in N-Scale.
With the Cubs winning the World Series Wrigley Field and the Wrigleyville neighborhood are very much in the news. I thought I would upload these images to show what the area looked like in the early 1970s when the Milwaukee Road ran right past the ballpark to interchange with the CTA at the Buena Yard in Uptown. I’ve been working on this diorama over the years and it is very much a work in progress.
I also model the Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E Line) farther south from Belmont Avenue to Wellington Avenue where it ran down the middle of Lakewood Avenue. I will post pictures of that diorama later.
My goal is to close the gap between the two dioramas-in a compressed way-and one day model the section around Racine and Roscoe where the Milwaukee Road went under the CTA Ravenswood Line and service a fuel dealer.
All of the buildings are scratch built using photographs and postcards of buildings in the area from the era. Some have since been torn down like the residence on Eddy Street, Franksville, Yum Yum Donuts, and the two commercial buildings on the east side of Clark south of Addison. The Standard Condenser building is now part of the expanded Cubby Bear sports bar complex.
The roadbed for the tracks was built up on cork with cardstock for the top layer and thinly cut strips of polystyrene for the spaces between the flangeways to simulate street trackage. By this date the Milwaukee Road had abandoned the southbound main in this area and used just the former northbound main. I tried to show an out of service track that is partly paved over for the former southbound main.
The cantilevered grade crossing signals are from NJ International. The track is Atlas as is the SW-1200 that Bill Denton custom painted for me in the number of an actual unit that was photographed by the Wrigley Field team track on one of the last days of service.
This view shows the remains of a former spur that ran alongside Standard Condenser. All that are left by this late date in the early 1970s were ties and the loading dock at boxcar height.
