"Hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight tonight (Tuesday, May 8), but in the interests of saving lives the "Cease fire" began yesterday to be sounded all along the front, and our dear Channel Islands are also to be freed today."

Well, if I was already behind with uploading my 365 before our beautiful little baby daughter was born, it ain't going to get much better now! ;o)
Work by David Hollier using one of Winston Churchill’s speeches.
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
[Psalm 33:6-9 NIV]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

Rob and I got to meet Winston after the show. Cool dude. We told him we came all way from Arkansas to see them and he brought up Levon Helm from "The Band" being from Arkansas and how much he loved him.
If you ever get a chance to see these guys live...do it! They are so good!

A cube of a pig, that's what Winston is.
Squeezed from a mold, down in old St. Mc Whiz.
A strange little town, full of odd little folk.
Who make unusual things, and that ain't no joke.
For instance, this pig is a cube you can see,
But what of the tube cats, and polygon trees?
No one can be sure, just quite how they're made,
In the dark of the night, under shadow and shade.
This pig has no legs, just a tail, ears and snout.
And if you'd like to keep him, just give us a shout!

A bust of the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Spencer Churchill, is located in the Upper Barrakka Gardens of Valletta, Malta.
was driving around parliament square and noticed how the statue of sir winston churchill was cutting through the light on a foggy night . I pulled my car over onto the roundabout opposite the houses of parliament and told my non english speaking japanese friend to wait there for 1 minute while i just took a quick photo . After i quickly snapped a few shots i turned to see six policemen jump out of a van and approach my car. I ran back to the car and they told me i had parked my car in probably the most high security place in the whole of london . I explained that i just had to take a quick photo and meant no harm and showed them the picture ..... well i got a serious telling off but one of the cops did remark that it was a beautiful shot .
To the faithful you show yourself faithful;
to those with integrity you show integrity.
To the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
You rescue the humble,
but you humiliate the proud.
You light a lamp for me.
The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
In your strength I can crush an army;
with my God I can scale any wall.
[Psalm 18:25-29 NLT]

"Vintage setup, modern technologies"
The 2213 Lionheart V16 is a revival of the once revered supercar built in the early 1900's. The 1913 Lionheart was built using many exotic materials and utilized various components that were ahead of its time, but most were parted out for the first world war effort. Engines were transplanted into tanks, aluminum panels were reshaped for airplane bodies, and frames were modified to carry anti-aircraft guns. Of the one hundred chassis planned only twelve bespoke units were built, and only two known surviving 1913 Lionhearts are confirmed to exist. One is in the hands of a private collector in Switzerland, while the other is the factory demonstration car used by Winston to sell the Lionheart to prospective buyers. Exactly 300 years later Winston has revived the nameplate and the same setup as the legendary 1913 vehicle for a limited production run.
The modern Lionheart rides on a carbon monocoque tub for rigidly and is attached with aluminum subframes for impact protection. The aluminum body of the Lionheart is hand formed by master craftsmen in Winston's factory, were it takes two weeks to complete a single shell. The showcase of the Lionheart is the transparent aluminium oxynitide hood that displays the entirety of the V16 and stretches from the front grill to the windscreen. The hood is a nod to the stained glass bonnets used on the original Lionhearts, and although a stained glass option is not available on the new model a thermal resistant smart-tint is applied that will duplicate the tint of the cabin glass. The Lionheart’s long overall length obtained itself the same nickname as its predecessor: “The rolling obelisk”.
The 2213 Lionheart draws its power from a massive aluminum V16 engine that displaces 8.0 liters. The engine is naturally aspirated allowing for a rapid response in acceleration any time the driver presses the gas pedal. With 1,222 horsepower available at a moment's notice the Lionheart will rampage to a top speed of 270 mph. Such power comes with a great cost because even with Winston's efficiency systems dialed to max the Lionheart will only yield 46 mpg. Winston opted not to equip the Lionheart with a government sanctioned Fuel Reduction System – instead leaving it as an option – as it would add unnecessary weight and rob from the experience. This omission results in a $10,000 annual operating fee for owners who continue to forgo the system.
Despite 300 years in technological advancements Winston's Lionheart has so much understeer – even at low speeds – that reviewers described the handling characteristics as a train without rails. Built primarily as a prestige road vehicle The V16 is a harrowing driving experience on narrow technical circuits; reviewers contintuously came close to putting the Lionheart into walls when maneuvering at higher speeds, but on tracks with enough room to maneuver the Lionheart truly shines. Race circuits are best left to other vehicles in Winston's catalogue, the V16 is best suited for cruising to prestigious events of the financially well off, well connected, or well known; and making its owner's presence known.
