New and beginning farmers are able to receive education, experience and support from the Agricultural Land Based Training Association (ALBA), whose graduates of their Farmer Education Course (PEPA) can then move on to agricultural related careers or continue a farming association for up to five incubator years where they can rent farm land, at their 100-acre facility in Salinas, Ca., on Nov. 14, 2018.

The Agricultural Land Based Training Association (ALBA) is a training program that helps low income farmworkers and others learn how to become farmers. New farmers begin with a series of classroom courses and on-hands training, and graduate to farming their own piece of land on the farm. Eventually these new graduates hope to become successful farmers.

ALBAâs Farmer Education and Enterprise Development (FEED) Program educates and trains new farmer-entrepreneurs to plan, launch, and establish viable organic farm businesses or advance their careers. To accomplish this, ALBA has 100 acres of organic land, an experienced team with diverse expertise, and a hands-on, 5-year farmer development program. FEED is comprised of three main components:

1.The Farmer Education Course (PEPA) is a one year, bilingual, 300-hour curriculum featuring classroom instruction and field-based training, readying participants to launch an organic farm business.

2.The Organic Farm Incubator allows course graduates to launch their farm on ALBAâs land. Starting at ½ acre, farmers gradually scale up to 5 acres over 4 years under ALBAâs supervision before transitioning to fully independent farming.

3.ALBA Organics, aggregates, markets and ships participantsâ products to growing markets around California. Doing so gives farmers access to clients that would otherwise be out of reach and allows them to focus on growing and business management in their initial years.

For more information about PEPA please see www.albafarmers.org/programs/

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the USDAâs focal point for the nationâs farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs. The FPAC team includes, Farm Service Agency (FSA) (www.fsa.usda.gov/), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) (www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/national/home/), and Risk Management Agency (RMA) (www.rma.usda.gov/).

USDA FPAC Farm Service Agency (FSA) is equitably serving all farmers, ranchers, and agricultural partners through the delivery of effective, efficient agricultural programs for all Americans. FSA is a customer-driven agency with a diverse and multi-talented work force, dedicated to achieving an economically and environmentally sound future for American Agriculture. The vision is to be a market-oriented, economically and environmentally sound American agriculture delivering an abundant, safe, and affordable food and fiber supply while sustaining quality agricultural communities.

Here, FSA works with non-profit organizations such as ALBA to provide program information and outreach to beginning farmers, socially disadvantaged farmers and limited income farmers. ALBA works with a unique farmer base of nontraditional, diverse and beginning farmers.

FSA staff has worked with ALBA for many years in the following ways:

1. Provide classroom training to new ALBA students at the ALBA farm during their regular coursework. FSA provides training on:

a. How to apply for a farm loan and prepare a cash flow statement.

b. How to apply for FSA programs that help with risk management on the farm, such as the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) or other regional crop insurance options.

c. How to apply for Disaster Assistance through FSA in case of an adverse weather event or other emergency.

2. FSA has provided micro loans, operating loans and ownership loans to help ALBA farmers become independent and successful in their operations. FSA has provided Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) and Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) payments to these farmers.

3. FSA has provided bookkeeping training courses to ALBA students, on farm tours, and has helped students apply for USDA scholarships to attend agricultural conferences and other trainings.

4. FSA has referred ALBA farmers to NRCS for help with resource management issues.

âThese farmers are the future face of American Agriculture. It is so important for FSA to help them get a strong start in ensuring the success of their operations, said FSA County Executive Director Vivian Soffa. Carlos will need support when he graduates from ALBA and hopefully FSA will be able to assist him with his capital needs when he is farming on his own in this very competitive agriculture market. Familiarity with FSAâs programs at the beginning of a new farmerâs endeavor may be the difference between success and failure.â

The history of roses in the People's Garden

The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:

1000 standard roses

4000 Floribunda,

300 rambling roses,

(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.

Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:

1859 - Rubens

1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods

1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier

The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:

730 tree roses

2300 Floribunda

132 rambling roses

100 shrub roses

That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.

Molineux 1994

Rubens 1859

Medialis 1993

Swan lake 1968

Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes

1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made ​​multiple extensions.

The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)

What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.

Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.

Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.

1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

(All the pictures you can see by clicking the link at the end of the side!)

Classifications of roses

(Wild roses have 7 sheets - prize roses 5 sheets)

English Rose

Florybunda

Hybrid Tea Rose

Rambling Rose

At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:

Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;

Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;

English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.

Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose

Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)

Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses

Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).

All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".

Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )

Other classifications are:

(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.

Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds

Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other

English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)

4000 Floribunda

Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy

There are few smelling varieties

Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms

New concept of color: from red to light yellow

The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.

This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.

Colorful roses

2011: white and pink roses

2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .

Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering

Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock

What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.

Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.

1000 Tree roses

Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.

During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.

Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

Pink 'Maria Theresa' and white 'aspirin' before the temple of Theseus

Standard tree rose Maria Theresa

Floribunda aspirin

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)

Plantings - Pests - Winter Care

Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).

Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).

In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.

Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.

Pest Control with Poison

The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).

They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.

Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

"Winter Package" with paper and jute bags

300 ambling roses

The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Schlingrose pearl from the Vienna Woods

Schlingrose Danube

Schlingrose tenor

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.

They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.

Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.

4 x/year fertilizing

4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.

Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.

In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).

Finishes in the Augarten

Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.

Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.

Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.

200 shrub roses

Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument

Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.

The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.

Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time

classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.

Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.

They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.

The Renner- Rose

The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.

It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner

When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.

Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.

Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz

He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.

In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.

High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.

Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?

The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".

After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.

Renner Rose is almost 100 years old

A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.

In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

Installing windows 7 signature edition on 32 bit and 64 bit. I had to wipe the 32 bit because 7 wouldn’t recognize windows 7 RC. Install of fresh 7 took About 40 minutes. From Vista 64 bit 7 copied and saved programs and data of @ 400gb on my lt and @ 80 programs in @ five hours! That was nice!

10/10/2009 9:39:53 PM

Wipe 7 32 bit because of ati problem. Starting re install

To ready desktop:

10/10/2009 10:08:59 PM

A wipe did not fix the ati glitch on a reinstall.

Windows 7 changed back to windows 7 basic color scheme and the tuner came back on. I had just plugged the tuner into Laptop 2 64bit vista and ati 650 worked. Then all of a sudden the tuner started working again on my 7 lt. Weird coincidence.

10/14/2009 4:21:42 AM

Uninistalling Roxio and using a windows basic or Aero theme in Display settings then re-installing the 650 program over the existing install made the 650 work for me again. I dare not mess with Windows TV tuner!

For those with simple need that don’t need a TV tuner I sugest Windows 7 Ultimate. For those willing to troubleshoot your ATI tuner I also suggest Windows 7 Ultimate!

10/14/2009 11:23:51 PM

A windows 7 update today caused the ati not to work again. It plays but is slow.

10/17/2009 5:16:59 AM

I had to reverrify my activation key on the 32 bit.

I can only network 2 machines that are both on 7.

10/17/2009 10:12:32 PM

A clean uninstall of the 650 then re-install AFTER re-installing roxio fixed it so far.It’s working with roxio now. Roxio’s TV tuner and the ati tuner are working. If you put in ati first before Roxio then Roxio won’t let you install ati.

Hp 7350 photo printer won’t work with hp laptop 64bit and 7 desktop 32bit. No compatible drivers I have found so far have helped.

I can’t figure out how to sort icons in Quick launch with 7.

Before FirstGroup began a centrallised disposal policy, it seemed that individual companies were able to dispose of withdrawn vehicles themselves. In the case of Eastern Counties, this meant that large numbers of vehicles were sold to, and cut up by, Jordans of Coltishall. I made several visits there between 2002 and 2005. Jordans had two sites, one in the middle of the village from which they operated a car sales business, and a farm near the airfield that scrapped all manner of vehicles at the end of their lives. Whilst they are still in business, there are now no buses left at the airfield site, although I have seen a picture of a Bristol K taken at the back of the car sales site recently. Whilst there were other east anglian operators vehicles present, the vast majority were from Eastern Counties.

Able to fire 100 laser bolts powerful enough to smash a hole in the hull of a smuggler's ship in under a minute, this turret might not be the most accurate in existence but you still don't want to get on its bad side.

This is a turret for this.

I wished we were able to spend more time in Stamford, but we didn't even have time to see many things within Burghley House, plus we were meeting my Sheffield friend Mike for dinner. After dinner, we did explore Stamford a little more before and during the heavy downpour.

Between 1475 and 1485, local wealthy wool merchant William Browne established an almshouse (or a bedehouse or Domus Dei or "hospital") for ten poor men and two poor women to live out their old age and to pray.

More than 500 years after its founding, the Medieval building continues to house 12 residents today.

Jabiim: Day 13

First Lieutenant “Thunder,” Checking in.

The last time I was able to check in, our luck had fared much better. It’s been ten days since our last victory on this hellhole. The nationalists have become quite bold behind their leader, Alto Stratus. Their counterattacks have been swift and catastrophic. At least 3,000 of us have been KIA. Many Jedi have also fallen, including the padawan of our general.

Droids!

[Thunder] Here they are boys! Let ‘em have it!

[Jordy] There’s a super!

[Niner] Arggh behin-

[Blade] They’ve flanked us! Niner and Jordy are down!

[Thunder] Blade, cover us! We can handle these droids.

[Blade] We have to pull back, there’s too many.

[Treece] Fall back, soldiers; CT-1789 and I will cover your retreat.

Wow, a build! The clone wars getting revised got me back into Star Wars, and I started reading some of the old dark-horse comics. Jabiim is easily one of my favorite Star Wars moments. Also, this is inspired by Fury and Tommy, whose awesome builds I’ve been looking at a lot recently.

Recently, GMP officers and emergency service colleagues were able to bring some birthday joy to Reece Winnard.

As part of Cards for Reece - which was set up by Reece's mum and saw him receive over a thousand birthday cards including one from GMP - officers joined a convoy of 4x4's which travelled from Eccles to Reece's home in Salford to visit him on his special day.

It was a pleasure to be involved and we're thrilled that Reece had an amazing day.

A Photo A Day For A Year

Day 15 / 365

I almost died the other day. For once, there is actually no hyperbole in that statement. I really did come that close. Allow me to explain.

Thanks to you guys, I was able to take that long, treacherous journey from southeast Iowa to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to pick the girl up. And oh my god if that drive wasn't the most perilous and difficult one that I have ever made. I've been through the Rocky Mountains at the tail end of winter. I've driven the twenty-six hours to New Orleans and back in a single go, and just about every crevice of interstate in between and never have I experienced what I did on the drive here. I type this from Pittsburgh, actually, two days after my intended date of departure. I'm kind of scared to leave to be honest with you.

I made it through Illinois without much to write about. It was a little blustery, a little windy, but the drive was pretty standard fare. In fact, I was quite elated to get through the entire state without seeing even a single police officer. That was a first. But then I hit Indiana and the snow really started to fall.

This was a huge problem because my windshield wipers are pretty much inoperative. They don't do their job well without the aid of wiper fluid and my nozzle has been completely frozen solid since winter began. Even when I poured hot water over the thing at my first gasoline stop, it refroze within minutes. The wind chill outside was a staggering -27 degrees Fahrenheit and I realized pretty quickly that the effort to keep the port open was a fool's errand. Semi-trucks kept kicking up dirty slush and rendered my windshield obscured to the point where it was very hard to see through it. And it kept happening over and over and over again. By the time I hit the Ohio border (nine hours into what is usually a ten hour drive in total), I was exhausted.

And then the heavy snow turned whiteout.

I arrived in Columbus, Ohio at about ten-thirty and was greeted by a six lane interstate that was 100% unplowed. The roads were slick and the cars on either side of me didn't seem to mind that fact much. They were flying by at speeds that I couldn't even dare climb to even if I wanted to reach them. I kept my speedometer needle hovering at around 60 MPH (what I deemed to be a safe speed given the circumstances) and tried to inch my way through the city. I still couldn't see much through that obscured windshield and it was ten times worse now that there was so much snow involved. I thought back to the morning when my brother Dakota scolded me for even considering the drive in such conditions.

"The roads are straight shit, dude." He told me.

"Nah, they aren't so bad." I replied, then promptly left.

I took the exit to Wheeling, West Virginia and hit a patch of black ice as I was coming off of it. This is normal even in Iowa and I'm well aware of how to correct such an event, so I turned in the direction of my spin and, upon correcting myself, immediately hit another patch of black ice. My car spun out, then kept spinning through all six lanes of traffic, and landed less than eight inches from the embankment on the left side. Somehow, something that I can't rationalize or explain, I didn't hit a single car. I didn't hit the edge of the embankment. Instead, I was momentarily stuck on the edge of the road with a body so full of adrenaline that I was still shaking when I finally did arrive to Pennsylvania some five hours later.

Now, I'm not a believer in miracles or divine intervention or anything like that. In fact, I'm pretty damn skeptical of anything even remotely resembling supernatural activity. I used to go ghost hunting with my buddy Joel, an avid believer in the supernatural, and I would crack wise-ass jokes and upset him greatly in the middle of the night at various cemeteries or basements. To me, when you die, you simply become worm food. There is no more you. You are extinguished, you are a dead light-bulb, you are a decaying corpse that no longer exists in any capacity beyond the cadaver. I've long maintained that position and I still do believe that. So, when I'd ghost hunt with Joel, the whole thing just reeked of silliness to me. I couldn't take it seriously.

But god damn if I don't have a hard time rationalizing the piling coincidence of this. How did I spin through so much traffic and avoid hitting a single car? How did I land so conveniently close to an embankment and not slam into it? How was I able to simply put my car in a different gear to get myself unstuck? The whole thing really put my head for a loop and even now, even right here in Pennsylvania retelling the event, I can't get over just how lucky I was in that moment. In all, the whole thing happened in probably six seconds. It wasn't the kind of thing where time slowed down and I was able to make sense of it before it ended. Everything happened so fast and then it was over. Cars continued to fly by me at rapid pace. The world kept spinning. The snow kept falling. My windshield was still madly obscured.

I'm a little nervous to get back on the road tomorrow morning, though I have so much work to get through that it makes me a little nauseous to think about. I know I need to get back. I know I gotta get back to the grind, start the videos again, etc; etc. I have to do this. But it scares me.

So I apologize for the last couple days with no output on these custom Patreon posts, but I haven't had access to a computer and I didn't particularly want to create posts that didn't have much graphical content. But I felt like I owed you guys an explanation as to my whereabouts and this story was too much to not share.

I will update you again (this time with photos) tomorrow evening when I arrive back to my house in Iowa. Wish us luck. I'll see you guys on the other side. Love you.

We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.

With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.

We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.

We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.

We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.

Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw. Time to get back to editing.

EVERY single week I whine I'll NEVER be able to find anything again, that this'll be the last good haul I EVER find...then WHAMmo! potluck!

The top four weren't cheap, but there's a reason to my madness!! $60 for the whole set ($15 ea) of four Starcraft II figures (a couple go for that alone), and I'll sell off the boring Human and Robot, and get to keep the two that are literally on my most wanted list, the Zeratul alien and Kerrigan chick, and they'll be FREEEee! (after selling the other two). SCORE.

I also spent $12 on vintage Christmas stuff (including 2 rare Kamar elfs). It's really hard to find them in the wild! DVDs 6 for $5! (Swamp Thing series!) The most AWESOME Spooky house Horror children's Pop-Up book ever for $1 (I'll take some fancy pics of it laterz), and if you look to the right there, that's the most unusual resin lucite grape thing I've ever seen (and will see again). A WORM. Made out of resin grape balls. crazy. o-o

Oh, and Indiana Jones playset for $3 for photo ops. And a ceramic Skull ice cream bowl because SKULL. (:D

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!

Some background:

In the aftermath of the Second World War, Britain identified a threat posed by the jet-powered strategic bomber and atomic weaponry and thus placed a great emphasis on developing aerial supremacy through continuing to advance its fighter technology, even following the end of conflict. Blackburn Aircraft responded to a 1947 Air Ministry requirement for a high-performance night fighter under Air Ministry specification F.44/46. The specification called for a two-seat night fighter that would intercept enemy aircraft at heights of up to at least 40,000 feet. It would also have to reach a maximum speed of no less than 525 kn at this height, be able to perform rapid ascents and attain an altitude of 45,000 feet within ten minutes of engine ignition.

However, the experience gathered from the Barghest's early development was successfully used by Blackburn during the Buccaneer development process for the Royal Navy in the mid-Fifties.

General characteristics:

Crew: two

Length: 54 ft in (16,49 m)

Wingspan: 40 ft 7 in (12.38 m)

Wing area: 514.7 ft² (47.82 m²)

Height: 14 ft 9 in (4,50 m)

Empty weight: 19,295 lb (8,760 kg)

Gross weight: 29,017 lb (13,174 kg)

Max takeoff weight: 34,257 lb (15,553 kg)

Powerplant:

2× Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire Sa.6 engines with 8,000 lbf (35.6 kN) thrust each

Performance:

Maximum speed: 606 kn (697 mph; 1,122 km/h) at sea level

Range: 954 mi (1,530 km)

Service ceiling: 52,800 ft (15,865 m)

Rate of climb: 7,000 ft/min (35.6 m/s)

Wing loading: 66 lb/ft² (325 kg/m²)

Thrust/weight: 0.56

Armament:

Ventral weapon bay, typically carrying 4× 30 mm (0.79 in) ADEN revolver cannon with 180 RPG;

alternatively, three retractable packs with a total of 70 unguided Microcell 2 in (51mm) missiles

could be carried;

Six underwing hardpoints (The outer pair of pylons could only carry Firestreak AAMs) for a total

ordnance of 4.000 lb (1.814 kg), including up to 4× Firestreak IR-guided AAMs, drop tanks on the

inner pair of pylons, or unguided bombs and SNEB missile pods.

The kit and its assembly:

This kitbash model originally started as an early Fifties all-weather fighter for the Royal Navy, and the idea was a Gloster Meteor night fighter fuselage mated with the engines and swept wings from a Blackburn Buccaneer. However, things change and evolve as ideas turn into hardware (for another submission to the 2018 “RAF Centenary” Group Build at whatifmodelers.com), and so this project gradually transformed into an all-weather fighter for the Royal Air Force, as a rival to the Gloster Javelin, and some other fundamental changes to the original plan as things evolved on the work bench.

Work started with a Matchbox Gloster Meteor, from which the fuselage (incl. the NF.14 cockpit with its bubble canopy) and tail cone (w/o fin, though) were taken OOB. Then a Matchbox Buccaneer donated its nose cone and the engine pods, together with the inner wing sections. An initial attempt to use the Buccaneer’s fin and stabilizer was made, but it did not work at all (looked horrible and totally unbalanced!). Instead, I used a leftover fin from a Revell 1:200 Concorde because of its retro shape and depth, and waited for the stabilizers until the wings were mounted, so that size, position and proportions would become clearer.

The nose cone had to be squashed, because its OOB oval diameter would not go onto the circular Meteor front end without problems and major PSR. With some force from a vice and internal stabilization through 2C putty the shape could be successfully modified, though, and blended into the fuselage contours. Looks pretty good and fast!

Once the engine nacelles were in place, I initially tried the Buccaneer’s OOB outer wings, but I was not really happy with the look. Their shape did not look “right”, they were a bit too large and just very Buccaneer-esque. After a donor bank safari I found a leftover sprue with wings and stabilizers from a Matchbox Hawker Hunter, and after some measurements and trials I found that they could be quite easily adapted to the Buccaneer’s inner wing stubs, even though this called for more serious surgery and PSR work. The latter was also necessary in order to blend the engine nacelles into the slender Meteor fuselage – messy, but feasible.

Alas, one challenge leads to the next one: Once in place, the massive engines created a ventral gap, due to the Meteor’s slender tail section. This was eventually filled with the Matchbox Buccaneer’s extra fuel bomb bay door, simply cut away from the kit, trimmed down and transplanted between the engine nacelles. As a side benefit, its bulged shape would now simulate a fairing for a ventral gun pack, somewhat similar to the CF-100’s arrangement. More PSR ensued, though, and between and around the jet exhausts the fuselage had to be fully re-sculpted.

The stabilizers also caused some headaches. With the new Hunter swept wings tips, I also needed new, matching stabilizers. I eventually used the Hunter stabilizers from the surplus Matchbox kit sprue. At first I tried to mate them with a shortened central fairing from the Buccaneer, but this did work even less than the whole Bucc tail, and so I scratched a more slender central fairing for the T-tail on top of the Concorde fin from a piece of sprue. Even though the Hunter stabilizers turned out to look a bit diminutive, I stuck with them since they complement the wing shape so well.

The benefit of the Buccaneer engine nacelles is that they come with proper landing gear wells, so that only the landing gear had to be improvises and adapted to the new aircraft and its proportions. I wanted to use the Meteor landing gear, but this turned out to be much too short! So I replaced the front wheel with a respective part from a Matchbox Buccaneer. The main wheels from the Meteor kit were retained, but they had to be extended - with a 5mm styrene tube “plug”, which is, thankfully, well hidden behind the covers.

Others small changes/additions are ejection seats in the cockpit instead of the Meteor bucket seats, the jet exhausts were drilled open and an interior was added, and some antennae were placed on the aircraft’s hull.

The ordnance was to reflect a typical late Fifties RAF fighter, and so the Barghest received a pair of drop tanks (from a Heller SEPECAT Jaguar, with simplified fins) and a pair of Firestreak AAMs (from a Matchbox BAC Lightning) on a pair of launch rails from an Academy MiG-23.

Colors and markings:

As per usual, I rather keep complicated whiffs visually simple, so I used the standard RAF scheme of Dark Green/Dark Sea Grey/Light Aircraft Grey on the Barghest, with the Buccaneer’s typical pattern as benchmark. Humbrol enamels (163, 164 and 166) were used for basic painting.

The cockpit interior became Tar Black (Revell 06), while the landing gear and its respective wells were painted in Aluminum (Humbrol 56). The kit received a light black ink washing and mild post-shading – more for a dramatic than a weathering effect, since RAF machines in the Fifties looked very tidy and clean.

The drop tanks received camouflage and the Firestreaks became white, while their clear seeker cones were painted with a mix of silver and translucent blue. The IR sensors were created with thin decal stripes.

The decals come primarily from an Xtradecal BAC Lightning sheet (roundels and 19 Sq. markings – the squadron badges are unfortunately quite large, since they belong to a NMF aircraft), most stencils and the tactical code come from an Airfix Venom trainer and an Italeri Tornado.

Finally, the kit was sealed with a matt acrylic varnish, a mix of matt and little semi-gloss Italeri varnish, for a sheen finish.

A true kitbashing, made from many well-known RAF ingredients and a disturbing look between odd and familiar! A Buccaneer? No, it’s too scrawny. A Javelin? No, it does not have delta wings, and it’s got a tail sting. A de-navalized Sea Vixen? Well, no twin tail, and anything else does not match either... Despite the puzzling details (or because of them?), the Barghest looks disturbingly British and Fifties, as if it had been created from a profound RAF DNA pool – and it actually is! And with lots of putty. ;-)

I love being able to have lazy weekends at Brisbane's South Bank in the summer, wandering through markets, sitting next to the (fake) beach reading a book, and yes, looking up at the Wheel of Brisbane.

These are a few pictures I was able to take with a top I found in the closet.

Oooh.. something CURRENT - Transformers Siege: Apeface!

I've been keeping an eye open for this guy since he was announced earlier this year, and was able to order one from Amazon shortly after my return from the West Coast. Kind of an odd entry because technically the Siege line is at its end and I generally don't expect completely new toys at this stage of the game, but these days Hasbro plans the lines in threes, so I'm guessing they'll get some mileage out of this design.

Apeface comes from the tail end of the American G1 era, when the designs moved very much way from the licensed vehicles of the 84 - 85 line, and became more original, much to the annoyance of some boys and girls. Personally, I don't know if it was the futurist in me, or perhaps it was the fact the toys were no longer fragile little metal things, but I love the 86 onward offerings more than the premovie stuff. Apeface is one of those completely insane concepts that only worked because quite frankly, we didn't really care much bout how good a toy was, just that there was a toy - he's not only a Headmaster (head comes off and turns into a little robot), but he's also a triple changer, having robot, gorilla/ape, and spaceship forms. The Headmaster concept was revisited during the Titans Return line to generally good results, so I'm guessing maybe that's why Hasbro is testing the water in Siege?

I've had a chance for hands on time with the figure, and here are some thoughts.

Apeface comes packed in the standard Siege trapazoidal cardboard box, and retail for $39.99 CAD plus Provincial taxes. The contents of the box are of course Apeface with his Titan Master (*eyeroll* stupid convoluted name) Spasma, SA Sonic Boom Blaster, and EM Electro Shield, which are of course his gun and that tail wing piece. The figure comes packaged in robot mode, and right off the bat you can already tell that not all Siege figures can be home runs... some are more like base hits. maybe a double. The robot mode generally looks fine, but in a stunning reversal of the awesomeness that has been the line thus far, some design choices were made that can be understandable, but at the same time, most make me scratch my head. As with other Siege figures, there are various hardpoints for connecting weapons and utilizing the COMBAT system.

A bit of tone setting - up until this point in time, the only Voyager sized figures I have from Siege are Megatron and Springer, both being excellent.

So, naturally since the G1 days, Apeface has had a total overhaul with regards to aesthetics, while at the same time maintaining that general G1 appearance as to not alienate OG fans. Considering the original toy was effectively a brick, this version clearly blows the original toy out of the park. The classic look and colour scheme has been preserved, while adding more detailing to the various robot parts, a more streamline body silhouette, and of course, improved articulation. Paint is that weird combination of predominately unpainted parts with a smattering of detailing where absolutely necessary, some decals, and some strange "artistic" paint choices in the way of that silver battle damage stuff that honestly, nobody has seemed to care for what so ever. Quality of paint masking is.. well, it's typical Hasbro. Decent, but you don't really need to look very hard to find questionable quality.

Starting with the robot mode, you have functional ankle tilt, single jointed knees, hips with leg splaying actions, shoulders, bicep swivel, elbow rotation, and head rotation. For "reasons", there is no waist joint, something that every original figure in the Siege line that I've seen has (might even be every figure, PERIOD). For it to be missing here is mind boggling, and I'm pretty sure it comes down to budget issues. Currently, the issues I see are that the wings on Apeface's back would get in the way of rotation, and all that would have had to been done is moving the connection points of the wings to the body a bit further up such that rotation of the entire upper torso could take place. Jumping a bit ahead, the Titan Master itself sits in a cockpit that is at the rear of the jet, rather than in the actual cockpit at the front, which would have been perfectly fine had they included an opening canopy. Anyway, I mention this because the cavity for the Titan Master is mostly likely why the wing connection points are at that particular spot. Anyway, the short of it is.. no waist.. BAD. Otherwise, the articulation is pretty much on par with modern Transformer figures.

This is a good time as any to mention that Spasm himself is also somewhat of a triple changer, becoming the head for both the robot mode, as well as part of the Gorilla/Ape mode.

When it comes to transformations, you have to cut Hasbro/Takara a bit of slack given what they have to actually accomplish, but they did a bang up job with Springer, so I had hopes for Apeface. Part of the charm of Apeface is that none of the alt modes look particularly realistic, and naturally, that's what you get with the toy. Unlike other reviewers, however, I feel the jet mode is the stronger of the two alt modes, one due to aesthetic, and two due to just the need to maintain a decent silhouette. Gorilla/Ape mode is a great homage, especially with the way the Gorillia head worked out, but actual articulation of the mode isn't really useful for doing much with other than generally standing around and looking cool. Unlike Springer, where once you had everything aligned all the pieces would come together nicely, I had a hell of a of time getting the white panels on the alt modes to align together, most likely due to a combination of poor QC and material choices. Same goes for actually pegging or tabbing pieces together in general, though to be fair those weren't too bad, just a minor annoyance.

So in the end, I love Apeface because of the general aesthetics and concepts, not so much that actual execution of the toy itself. I'm hoping that Hasbro does release a Snapdragon to accompany Apeface so the two can be together again.

Got a few more Siege entries to review at some point in time, especially a big one that I've been putting off for months.

Tetapi bukan berarti bagi yang sistemnya ada masalah tidak bisa mendapatkan/menciptakan GENERATION OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED...!

Sebelum menikah, sebelum lahir,ataupun setelah lahir,GENERATION OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED dapat diciptakan.

Maka jauh jauh sebelum menikah, dari sana sudah ada sistem penciptaan, bagaimana generasi/anak yang kita inginkan, dari proses ini kita akan tahu bagaimana sebenarnya mengatasi berbagai macam problema dari dalam diri kita sendiri atau orang lain,dan bagaimana cara mencapai segala keinginan mulai dari dalam diri, kemudian membantu orang lain

Setelah lahir pun kita dapat mengarahkan menciptakan; bagaimana abilitasnya, IQ-nya, sifatnya,masa depannya,dll, sehingga anak kita menjadi generasi yang highly qualified.

Setelah lahir GENERATION OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED diciptakan melalui dua metode:

1.metode secara dlahir/syariat/nyata (melalui bantuan kami)

2.metode batin/ghaib (melalui bantuan kami)

*Setelah lahir yang tengah berada dalam kekuasaan dekapan KASIH IBU dengan:

So over the weekend, I was able to purchase a Mezco One:12 Captain Marvel from a fellow collector who was underogoing from downsizing.

I won't beat around the bush - I might be Mezco's worst nightmare. I don't buy many of these, and the ones I pick up don't generally blow the mind of any collector, even hardcore Mezco collectors. But, this is Captain Marvel, and I knew she came with some fun accessories - that coupled with a great price made this purchase a no brainer.

This toy is of course based on the Brie Larson version of the character, and was released not that long ago.. maybe Summer 2020. I just remember it being quite delayed. The actual contents of the box are quite impressive for the $80 USD they asked for (I'll get back to this), especially when all the other figures were about $80 as well.

You get the figure, three total portaits (unhelmeted head, helmeted head, Binary mode helmeted head), eight additional hands, two Photon energy effects for the closed fists, two large Photon fist effects, two Photon Beam effects, Goose, Tesseract, Pager, a leather jacket, and the standard Mezco stand with arm.

In terms of contents, I believe there's more in the Mezco kit than even the Deluxe Hot Toys release, but naturally the quality is much better over in sixth scale land, including the kick ass battery powered light effects.

It's weird, but Captain Marvel was better, the same, and worse at the same time than the typical female Mezco release. You remember how I said it was a good bargain at $80? Well, I suspect that somebody at Mezco crunched some numbers, and realized that yes, it was a great deal. So great, that they probably wouldn't make their intended profit margin at the presale price.

You'll notice from the side-by-side photo next to the Figuarts, Mezco Hela, and Mezco Kitana that Captain Marvel is small. Almost like they did some cost cutting as this would reduce the cost of the bodies, suits, and possibly the jacket. Based on solicitation photos, this was planned from the start, and it's honestly tough to tell without another figure next to her. She always felt like she gave off dwarf vibes, so at least this verifies it.

For those interested, Cate Blanchett is about 5 ft. 8 inches, and Brie Larson is about 5 ft. 6 inches... clearly somebodies math is off and based on looks I'd definitely put my money on Larson being too short.

Also, you'll notice all three figures that can't put their arms at their sides? All Mezco figures.

From an outfit perspective, Captain Marvel is leagues better than the one that came with Hela. Hela is effectively wearing a black body sock with some shiny green trim. The Captain Marvel outfit has more sections where the texture is replicated by synthetic leather, in addition to the gold trim. Furthermore, even the body sock parts have a sheen to them, as opposed to the Performing Arts costume that Hela has. The leather jack has some good tailor work, though the decals might need a bit of resticking depending on your luck.

The helmeted sculpts look pretty good, but the Brie Larson sculpt? It's not as bad as Gal Gadot, but it's nowhere near as good as the Cate Blanchett that came with the Hela figure. It's passable, but due to its looks and overall large size (which makes the squatness of the body even worse) I stick with the helmeted looks.

From an articulation perspective, no surprises whatsoever. Hela had already disappointed me so I was prepared. For the most part, it's alright, as the suit at least lets you use pretty all the body is capable of. You get ankles, single jointed knees, hips with thigh swivel, minor waist swivel combined with slight ab crunch and ability to bend backwards, mid torso joint, standard shoulders, single jointed elbows, wrists, neck, and head.

For whatever reason, the feet are designed such that the socket is on the body, as opposed to the foot. This design limits the range of motion the foot has, which is why all her lunging poses don't look all that great. The rigidness of the shoulders has been, and continues to be, a major pain because you can't bring the arms together closer which combined with the single jointed elbows really limits what you can do with her upper body. The good news is, however, that overall you're still going to get more articulation out of this figure than the Hot Toys release.

Paint work for the most part is pretty good. To my eyes, the flesh coloured parts are just the base plastic. Everything else for Captain Marvel is pretty sharp, including the paint work on the pager and the minute details on her outfit. Now Goose, on the other hand.. body is great but those eyes are just messed up. It's not just the one in my hand either - even the prototype looks walleyed.

Build quality is again a non-issue. The body feels solid with strong joints, and with a little luck breaking pegs is not going to be an issue. As mentioned, the uniform and leather coat are well tailored and stitched. The translucent energy effects are also nicely done, with no rough finishes or fragile bits. All pieces come together nicely.

So there you have it - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Overall though, the Mezco figure is probably the best overall option for a Captain Marvel. It's alright levels of articulation wrapped up in a pretty good outfit and suite of accessories.

That brings my Mezco journey to an end for now. There's rumours that Mezco is making a Black Widow for the movie, and should that actually become a reality it will probably be the next time I revisit this line.

Until next time.

We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.

We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.

We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.

Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.

As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.

Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.

There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

This 100% build-able model was inspired by set 3817 (Flying Dutchman) from the Spongebob Squarepants theme. It has been seriously up-sized in scale, and now features four masts (three square and one triangular) with Technic panel sails and 16 brick-built cannons. The ships also has a crows nest and a removable rear upper deck for access to the captain's cabin.

Fictional background:

Built in 1716, this sailing ship was originally intended for use by the English navy. The ship (named the Terror) was outfitted with 16 cannons to fight off pirates while raiding other nations ships as a privateer. Ironically, the Captain of the ship, a man named William Greenwood, quickly grew tired of sharing the stolen loot with the English government and became and outright pirate, painting his ship green to go with his last name and to mark his ship as belonging to no country.

After a period of the about three years of plundering, the Captain and his crew discovered a strange shattered dagger on a forgotten island, which he believed would bring him luck, so he had a crew member blacksmith it into a more modern Sword. Captain Greenwood then set sail into the horizon, not to be seen again until 1925, when he suddenly appeared near the coast of Ireland. It was then captain realized the dagger he made into a sword contorted time.

The story of the mysterious ships' re-appearance spread round the world like wildfire, and soon Sam Sinister's and his evil cronies and the Adventurers representing the forces of good would set in motion the biggest manhunt in recent human history: the search for the Sword of Time was on!

As Able As Kane formed in summer 1987 and were originally a duo - Ding and Paul R .

They were heavily influenced by Jim Thirwell's Foetus and bands like Killing Joke & Revolting Cocks and had

become excited by discovering European acts such as Front 242, The Young Gods and Laibach.

They had precious little equipment and early recordings were heavily reliant upon a collection of junk metal they'd acquired, accompanied by Paul's voice and a drum machine. Ding wouldreluctantly play bass and guitar on some of the pieces.

When Ding started on a sound engineering coursethey met third member, Brendan McGuirk. When he joined the band, he brought a sampler and a couple of decent keyboards into the mix andthe studio school where they were learning gave them access to sequencers and multi-track tape. After writing and recording several tracks at overnight sessions the band started to play live shows and gain a bit of a local fanbase. Several decent reviews later they were lucky to land a recording contract with a young Manchester based record label, Scam Records. It was Scam Records' suggestion that the band shortened their name to AAAK

For Scam, As Able As Kane recorded a 6 track mini-lp entitled "Buildingscape Beat", which is a term they had started to use to describe their music. Buildingscape Beat was recorded towards the end of 1988 and on its release, managed to catch the attention of John Peel and raised the band's profile sufficiently that they were offered another recording deal with the cult Belgian label, KK Records.

The result of this 2nd deal was a 15 track cd/vinyl release called "Big Fist", which saw the band,now minus Brendan, receive a U.S release as well as Europe. The U.K didn't bother too much about AAAK and most of their fan base was overseas. During the final stages of recording of a 3rd album, the band had their Manchester studio and all of their equipment robbed and without suitable insurance were forced to call it a day.

In the summer of 2009 Ding was approached by German E.B.M label, Electric Tremor with the idea of re-issuing AAAK's LPs and possibly a live show or 2 to promote iit. Paul R was consequently tracked down. It had been about 15 years since the duo had seen each other - and the idea of just re-releasing the early material rapidly turned into re-recording he best tracks off the two releases instead. These new recordings were coupled with a collection of unreleased tracks from 1987-1991 re-mastered from cassettes and DAT tapes to form the 2CD release, "The Collection" [2010].

The band played several gigs to promote The Collection and in so doing, found themselves reformed. New material started to be written and over the course of 2011 tracks appeared on compilations, re-mixes were done for other artists and a single/E.P- "Out Here" was recorded and released on Electric Tremor in January 2012

April 2012 saw the release of the bands first LP of new material since 1992. Entitled"Totalitarian Tip-Toe" the ten track album presented the 21st Century with a return of their buildingscape beat style.

The new album features new members Neil R [The Words] on guitars and Tamsin A [Mr Heart] on backing vocals. There are also several tracks featuring live drums provided by Howard J [Lost Harbour].

In August 2012 the band embarked on their highest profile appearances to date, five shows supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers in eastern Europe. For these shows they expanded their live set-up to a 5-piece With Greame S-S [The Words] providing live drums. The surprising billings saw the band receiving great responses from crowds as large as 77,000.

Spurred on by the success they have started to record a new 12 track album for release in spring 2013. This will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of their first record and will be entitled "Buildingscape Beat XXV"

Dearest Maddy,

We were finally able to take a decent picture of you this past weekend - you're already over halfway to 15 months, so it's a good thing we got a photo!

You are such an awesome little kiddo! You still are pretty bad at sleeping (oh, sweets, you're killing us here!), but otherwise, you're one cool toddler.

You're getting more interested in food, and have a new favorite: black beans (especially when they've got sweet potato chunks mixed in them, like in mama's breakfast burritos). You still really love peas and yogurt and cheerios, too. Still no cheese, though!

You love school, and you're doing so well when we leave you there for a full day once a week. You really enjoy playing with the Toddler and Primary classes, and mama and daddy enjoy getting to watch you play with them before you notice us when we pick you up from school. When you do notice us, you light up with a huge smile, squeal with joy, and run to us. That makes us feel pretty awesome!

You're really into books lately, and love to bring books to us to have us read to you. You also really love your pounding toys, and your musical instruments, too. You're starting to get more interested in your soft toys, too - you love it when mama gets out her old stuffed duck puppet, and you also really like the handknit elephant that mama's friend made you. Oh, and your Very Hungry Caterpillar stuffed toy/fabric book that your MN friend Oliver gave you, too. You really like that one, and you'll even flip through the pages by yourself sometimes, singing a little song as you "read".

You are still our little daredevil, climbing the couch, doing circus tricks on your bike, and just generally running around like a crazy toddler!

You still love music, and your two favorite bands are really obvious from the way you react whenever they come up on our random playlists: Fleet Foxes (especially anything from their first album) and Radiohead (especially anything from "In Rainbows"). You'll stop in your tracks the second any of their songs starts playing, and just rock back and forth, mesmerized by the music. It's so weird and awesome.

This past weekend you got to spend a lot of time with grandma, who visited us to help out while your school was closed. That's been a lot of fun! And as of today, you started waving and saying "hi!" when you see one of us - I think this counts as your first spoken word! I love that it's "hi!", and when you wave and say it, it's basically the cutest thing ever and I feel like I might explode with glee. You still sign "milk" all the time, and you also sign "diaper" when you want to be changed, but that's it on the word front. I suspect we're in for a vocabulary explosion pretty soon!

Mama and daddy love you so incredibly much! It is so amazing to watch you learn and grow and we love what a neat little individual you're becoming!

Week 1

Animation Progress: Before the even the module had started, I spent over the holiday do various tasks I gave myself to work on my skill on Maya. At this point I’ve been working on making a model to practice my animation on and work on my rigging skills which is one of my weaknesses. My progression so far was just half of the chest and arm and hands. At this point it the most changeling part was trying to make the hands which were realistic enough but well design to do finger animation. By finding a better reference image for my model this time around I was able to understand where I went wrong with the body proportion during my last assignment. Even though I was slightly ahead with this assignment I still had to pick what was my animation was about and which emotion would express it best. At first I thought it was going to be simple but over a few days of day dreaming, my mind was still blanked. So I decide just to make the model and leave it for the following week to come.

Images:

Week 2

Animation Progress: During the week before the next lecture/lab class, I was able to focus my attention to the model leg and shoe. There was one thing on my mind though; with my leg I wasn’t sure whether the knees from the model leg were correct. It seems to appear fine on smoothness one but when put on smoothness 3 it didn’t feel right in my mind. My opinion on this would have to wait as half way of the week I set my commitment on making the three animations. Reviewing the example video of the arrow, bouncing ball and pendulum, I felt I wanted to more to my version. However with the large number of student in the class I knew their always was a chance to for someone to do the exact idea so I brained stormed different twists and plots until I was happy with my idea. The making the of animations wasn’t too hard thanks to everything was well made and set up for example the arrow could bend and the setting to bounce the ball.

Images:

Week 3

Animation Progress: At this point with the model I’ve been working on creating the head of the model. During this week I decided to make my animation to be about a person attempting to grab people attention but fails at it. I really wanted the person to be dress in a costume from a comic book series called Deadpool . From that I turned the head into a mask as seen below. This week work was just practicing our skills using maya graph by doing group tasks with people beside me. During this week we had to hand in our story boards and a calendar explaining how we would spend our time making this animation. I felt slightly unhappy with my storyboard because from seeing other student storyboard I was jealous at the drawing skill levels of some people was astonishing.

Images:

Week 4

Animation Progress: During last week power point i never really knew how much our body shows the expression we feel. From this I mean how our shoulders, fingers chest and eye etc. It justify how we are feeling. It was really interesting after knowing this and then watching a dozen cartoon scene and I was picking up on how his body showed his emotion. I don’t really think how much effort animator put into their models to show this and distribute the weight. On the weekend I work on my model trying to connect my head to the body.

Images:

Week 5

Animation Progress: At week 5 I had finally made a complete model. To be fair I really should have been at this point at week 3 but because of other assignment and sometimes due to socializing it set me back 2 weeks. But with this delay I was able to re-construct the hands, arms shoulders and hips to make them more natural. Within the lectures and lab we were assigned another scene to create about a rocket setting off. This rocket had a twist compared to the last rocket we did. It was intended to wait until it was signal to do so by a green light. Looking at example from previous student at university from Bradford it gave me a good idea how I use my creativity.

Images:

Week 6

Animation Progress: With the rocket storyboard being work on I spent my spare time after keeping up with my other modules to mess about with the uv textures . At this moment of time I still need to practice my skill with uv texturing to a point it at a professional standard never the less If it did the job right now then why change it. My mind wonder after watching a few miming video for movement idea on Youtube something just hit me. Rather a comic book character I would change it into a mime. I did this because mime just use it body to create it surroundings weather if it picking up a box or pretending to be against a wall or pulling a rope. They over act their movement but just enough to make people around them know what their implying.

Images:

Week 7

Animation Progress: During this week I took a break from working on the model and work on my background. I spent the week looking around the street thinking about does have a street have around it? Buildings, tree, people , lamps, bins and roads. I started to narrow down this and then progress to make the objects. I don’t know why I made it so well detailed maybe I got carried away or maybe because I didn’t really want to limit myself just to have a single street. After this module I really want to work on this street and transform it into a city with people moving about who knows it might be my final year project if I work hard enough.

Images:

Week 8

Animation Progress: During the lecture we were asked to make a walk cycle. This isn’t interesting but what was that got my attention was a pdf about a person called Richard Whilliams. This pdf was from a book called animator a survival guide. Within this book had a full description of how to animate a character and make sure you think about things like weight disruption, hips positions etc. After the lecture, I worked again on my street and making sure it just about perfect so I could just concentrate on my model. As well as the street I made a sky background which slowly moves in the background.

Images:

Week 9

Animation Progress: With the street background just about complete, I went back onto working on my model. Making finally adjustment to the head chest and arms I was glad it just about finish. All that was left was to was to add a mouth into my model because i was wanted to wait until getting closer to the end so i could work on it more and mess about with the lips to create blends shapes representing his emotion. After 1-2 hours working on this i focus my attention on the texturing of the mime. This is a note to my self i need to practice my uv texturing after this modules is done. I can't fully grasp this yet but i know it will be something very useful in the future should i have to work with maya later on in my career. Only having done half of my module texture all that was left was to rig my character and paint weight it.

Images:

Week 10

Animation Progress: I Didn't do much in this week because i was be hide with our assignments so i had to focus my time on them. Because my last modules gave me so much problems because of the rig i decided to use a rig from a free model the link before is the site from where i got it from.

www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ban...

Images:

Week 11

Animation Progress: After finally texturing, rigging my character and paint weighting I could finally start my animations. It was annoying that I couldn’t move my hand/fingers more than I could, otherwise I could animate my hands better and show the weight being applied on to the hands. For the duration of lab time in this week Jason was able to give me a few pointers he was glad I was moving around in the class to try and understand how to animate my mime but at the same time he said you’re not showing the weights of his arms and shoulders snapping because of the invisible and we can’t tell when the end of the box ends. So I decided to create a poly square and place it around my rig to help me visualize how and where the hand should stop. The section which I found most difficult was the walk cycle. Maybe I was trying to be too technical and key frame unnecessary movement over long spaces between keying and when I try to scale it down, it caused more problem with the execute of the walk.

Week 12

Animation Progress: Finally once all of the mime animation was complete I was happy to import it into my scene. It only came to my attention from when I import the model into my street I found out i didn’t take something into consideration. The proportion of the model and street and model wasn’t exactly in fact the model was three times bigger than the street. This cause a massive set back of time grouping all the objects from the street and rescaling and move them into the right place. I couldn’t move/scale the mime because of the skin- rig which meant I would need to delete the fix sets key that controlled the mime position on the scene. After overcoming this small problem I set my attention on making the second person to walk pass the mime and ignore him causing him to be sad this was the aim of my project. If I had to be honest I had forget to make another model for my scene and with time and my moral slowly being drained I thought to use the same model but a different texture. After retexturing the model and create a new walk cycle, I imported him into the street and in sync him to walk in at the right time. The camera itself was meant to be dead front of him but instead I change this to get a better angle. Once I was happy with the light and the render setting I set it to render I just sat back and though about everything I’ve done in the last 12 weeks.

Images:

What ive learn most about this module is that as an animator/game designer we can’t just create an animation/ cinematic without able to show the emotion be hide the character. We are not making this just to show we have a good understanding of the body anatomy but that these motion show a mood and that the people seeing this can understand this if not relate to them.

Evaluation of My Render Animation

The animation that I chose to use is that of a Mime doing an act on the streets. The emotion I chose for my animation to show is sadness. In the animation the mime carries out several different actions like touching an imaginary wall and opening and walking through a door. A passer-by then walks past but ignores his act which makes the mime sad. Looking at the final animation I can see several good and bad points about my rendered animation.

Good Points:

First of all the model has rendered quite smoothly not showing that many mistakes or at least they are not too noticeable. Secondly the character is easily recognised as a mime doing an act in the street. Also I have even added a second character model as a passer-by which is extra effort. Furthermore my character is doing quite a lot of movements using his whole body and they are done without any major mistakes and are easy enough to see as actions used by a mime. Additionally the background of the animation is quite detailed too and is easily recognisable as a town centre in a city. The texture of the walls and buildings are quite realistic too and even has a feel of being winter. Finally the texture of the glass is realistic showing a reflection of light at different angles.

Bad Points:

First of all the there is a slight mistake in the background in which the lighting near the furthest lamppost is reflecting at two different angles. This means there is a mistake with the lighting. Really the lighting should be coming from the lamps because it is night but instead it is coming from all over as if the sun is out. Also the actual movement of the model is not that smooth so it is sometimes hard to recognise what he is doing. This is made worse by the movement being so fast. On top of this only one camera angle was used from a distance so it is difficult to see the facial expression of the mime. Instead we see the emotion in his body language and gestures. Another bad point is that there is no movement from the fingers of the hands models. They stay in the same position so it is not very realistic. Additionally the bucket he is using for money is slightly wrong as the dollar sign stuck on it is too low and almost looks like it is slightly on the pavement. Moreover the passer-by looks like another mime and walks like my mime model. This can be slightly confusing for watchers. Finally the pavement that the mime is on should be elevated like the pavement on the other side. This makes it harder to see where the road is in the animation.

In conclusion I think my animation is quite good for its purpose which is to show an emotion. Although the movement is not smooth and has some minor mistakes you can clearly see that my model and his act is that of a mime. Also you can see by the last gesture and expression that he is clearly saddened by the passer-by ignoring him. Therefore my finished animation fits its purpose.

Not able to get out with the camera at the moment, stuck at home either going through old photos or firing off shots of whatever I can find.

This was taken by putting the flower in front of the window so that daylight was behind it and the light showing through the petals. Originally taken in colour but I prefer this black and white version. I think the composition would've worked better if I'd removed the drooping petal on the left, and the other stuff in the vase which is distracting on the right side.

I'm not a recovering alcoholic but I know many who are. As an Akronite, I am very proud of this history and the story behind it. I was able to expose my husband (from Philadelphia area) to this this year. These gates were made in Philadelphia around 1917.

WEST AKRON — A conversation that has changed thousands of lives took place in a tiny room of a cottage on a grand Akron estate.

It was the historic meeting of two men, Akron surgeon Dr. Bob Smith and New York stockbroker Bill Wilson, both troubled by their addiction to alcohol.

The meeting, which took place in the Gate Lodge at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens on May 12, 1935, set the stage for what would eventually be known as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

That historic meeting will be marked at Stan Hywet the weekend of June 10-12, to coincide with activities surrounding AA’s annual Founders’ Day. The Akron Area Intergroup Council of AA will honor the 76th anniversary of AA with activities June 9-11.

The Gate Lodge, which features an exhibit about “Dr. Bob” and “Bill W.,” will have extended hours throughout the weekend. In an adjacent tent on the Stan Hywet property, several performances of a scene from a play about the two AA founders will be performed.

The Gate Lodge opened to the public in 2004. The house was occupied until 1999 by Irene Seiberling Harrison, who died then at the age of 108. After her passing, it was decided that the cottage would be restored and its place in history would be noted.

During the past two Founders’ Day weekends, more than 7,500 people have walked through the doors of the modest cottage, according to Donna Spiegler, communications manager of Stan Hywet. The Gate Lodge is also open when the estate is open to the public and included in the price of manor tours.

Stan Hywet volunteer Jim Urban, of West Akron, is often stationed at the Gate Lodge to answer questions.

“AA members just want to see the place,” he said. “They read every single word.”

Urban said he also has served as a soundboard for some.

“Sometimes an AA member will unload on you,” Urban said. “That’s inspiring.”

The Gate Lodge is the building to the right of the entrance gate at Stan Hywet. It was built as a residence for the estate’s superintendent, who lived there until his death in 1923. At that point, Fred Seiberling (the eldest son of Stan Hywet owner F.A. Seiberling) moved into the cottage with his wife, Henrietta, and their three children, John, Dorothy and Mary. The couple separated in 1935, and Fred moved into the Manor House while Henrietta and the children stayed at the Gate Lodge.

It was Henrietta Seiberling who is credited with bringing together Dr. Bob and Bill W. According to information in the Gate Lodge, Henrietta was active in the Oxford Group, a spiritual movement popular at the time, which stressed that “moral strength was the foundation to social justice and personal change would bring about social change.”

Through her activities with the group, Henrietta met Dr. Bob and his wife, Anne, and knew about the doctor’s struggles with alcohol.

Meanwhile, Bill W. was in Akron working unsuccessfully on a business deal. He had been sober for a few months, but the failure of the deal led him to seek help on the night of May 11, 1935. He felt if he could talk to another person struggling with alcohol addiction, he would be able to resist the temptation to visit the bar at the Mayflower Hotel in downtown Akron, where he was staying. From the hotel’s church directory, he randomly selected the Rev. William Tunks, who gave Bill W. a list of 10 names of people who might know an alcoholic who would talk with him. None of the numbers led to any success until he dialed Henrietta Seiberling.

Henrietta called the Smiths, but Bob was sleeping off his latest binge. Anne Smith asked if they could meet the next day, Mother’s Day. Bill W. hung on and came to the Gate Lodge that day for dinner. Dr. Bob reluctantly arrived with Anne and their son, and after dinner, Dr. Bob and Bill W. retired to the small library of the Gate Lodge for what was intended to be a 15-minute conversation.

They stayed there for five hours.

Today, the library is appointed with a small table and two chairs. Three recordings — of Henrietta Seiberling, Dr. Bob and Bill W. — can be played that talk about the events that transpired to help set the stage for AA, which became an international, spiritually oriented community that helps its members stay sober and help other alcoholics do the same.

Finally able to do a quick shoot with the canon! lol I wasn't able to take many pictures, but I hope you enjoy the ones I took!

We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.

With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.

We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.

We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.

We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.

Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw.

Skiers are able to perform both the skate and classic styles of cross-country skiing, day and night, in and around the stadium area of the Pincushion trail system in the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) Superior National Forest (NF) region near Grand Marais, Minnesota, on Feb 27, 2018.

Tactical shooting requires agile and adaptive thinkers able to handle the challenges of full spectrum operations in an era of persistent conflict. To meet this requirement, TAPS delivers a comprehensive, systematic, progressive Train-the-Trainer shooting program focused on fundamental mastery and built for Law Enforcement officers, military personal, and qualified civilians. Designed for leaders and trainers, the TAPS course also applies to the patrol-level officer, basic level Soldiers, and civilian self & home defense minded shooters. The approach to instruction is through coaching and mentorship and both demonstrates and transfers a training method that is safe, effective, combat relevant, and encourages a continuous thought process that demands accountability. Training is conducted on the range and focuses on advanced refinement of the basic fundamentals of marksmanship as applied to the primary and secondary weapons systems. Utilizing a building block learning model, TAPS combines the pressures and dynamics of competitive shooting and tactical application. While course of instruction is on the firing range, the TAPS training approach also translates into training venues outside the range.

Course Outline:

The 2-day course offering provides the following training and instruction:

- Lecture on proper weapons handling and safety

- Refresh the fundamentals and grouping exercises

- Conduct a diagnostic course of fire

- Conduct a discussion on the importance of performing a focal shift during training and avoiding mundane drills that do not encourage a thought process

- Other topics covered and practiced are; grouping exercises with both primary and secondary weapon systems, target discrimination, use of barricades, movement, close quarter battle techniques, immediate action drills, ballistics 101, transitions, magazine changes

- Escalation of training and intensity will vary depending on number of students and their skill level though the core of the course will always remain the same

- This course is marksmanship intensive.

Nearly halfway through the month, and it's the weekend again, and the the good news is that the sore throat I had on Friday went and did not return.

Which is nice.

Jools's cough, however, which seemed like it was getting better, returned slightly on Friday evening, and would again on Saturday. We had tockets to see Public Service Bradcasting again, this time in Margate, but our hearts were not in it, if I'm honest, and in the end we decided not to go in light of her coughing, but also as I said, we saw them a month back, though this would be a different show.

And Norwich were on the tellybox, what could be better than watching that?

Anything, as it turned out.

But that was for later.

We went to Tesco, a little later than usual, as we had slept in rather, then back home for breakfast before the decision on what to do for the day. Jools decided to stay home to bead and read, I would go out.

There are three churches near to home that I feel I needed to revisit, St Margaret's itself I should be able to get the key from the village shop at any time, but St Mary in Dover hasn't been open the last few times I have been in town, and Barfrestone was closed most of the year due to vandalism.

But Saturday morning there is usually a coffee morning in St Mary, so I went down armed with camera and lenses to take more shots of the details, especially of the windows.

There was a small group with the Vicar, talking in one of the chapels, so I made busy getting my shots, just happy that the church was open. I left a fiver with the vicar, and walked back to the car, passing the old guy supping from a tin of cider sitting outside the church hall.

A quick drive through town, Buckland and up Crabble Hill past our old flat and onto Lydden before emerging onto the A2, doubling back to go through Coldred. Finding the road to Barfrestone from there would be easy, no?

No.

Roads started heading in the right direction, or signposts promising the bright lights of Barfrestone and leading nowhere near. Or quite near, I have no idea.

After passing through Elvington, I resorted to the sat nav, and take the left turn, it said, I was less than a mile away.

The micropub, The Wrong Turn has closed, sadly, I saw as I drove past, then turned left down to the middle of the village, and parked beside the old phone box.

Everyone has a favourite church, or every churchcrawlers, either by county or in their experience. I am now at about 370 Kent churches, and St Nicholas is my favourite, and the most interesting. There is none other like it in the county, or the south east of England.

A simple two cell church from the 12th century, with the lower halves of the walls of flint, but the upper parts of Caen stone, and mostly richly carved, or with window arches or blank ones. A line of grosteque heads line the corbel on the outside, and insode there is a decorated dado that has geometric pattern at one end, and a monkey smoking a pipe at the other.

On Saturday, I took 432 shots here, redoing many shots from previous visits, but with now a better camera and lenses.

St Nicholas was closed earlier this year due to vandalism, but it open again now, though parking is difficult, but should be one every churchcrawlers sees in their lifetime.

I see from Hasted that the dedication at the beginning of the 19th century was St Mary, but is St Nicholas now.

A one-off church, Barfrestone is the south-east's answer to Herefordshire's Kilpeck, although perhaps with slightly less atmosphere. A complete two cell late Norman church, but so unlike all the others in Kent that one cannot really class it in the same group. Its lower walls are constructed of flint rubble, but its upper courses, and dressed stonework are all of imported Caen stone. This is a display of twelfth century wealth and it has usually been associated with the de Port family from Dover Castle. Kent has no local stone that can take fine carving, so the exuberance of detail here is unrivalled in the county. The south doorway is the most widely reproduced image, but the internal carving is of equal importance. Post-Reformation damage has been reconstructed, in some cases with a degree of artistic licence. The two blank arches to either side of the chancel arch were designed to take side altars - a feature relatively common in Kent, for example at Grain. There is some fine medieval graffiti to be seen on the dressed stonework at lower levels both inside and out. As there is no tower, the church bell is hung from a Yew tree. Nave and chancel only.

BARSON.

THE next parish south-westward is Barson, alias Barfriston, which latter is its proper and antient name; being written in the survey of Domesday, Barfrestone, but for the sake of contraction it has been of late both called and written by the former name of Barson only. There is but one borough in this parish, viz. the borough of Barson, which contains the whole parish; the borsholder for which is chosen at the petty sessions, held for this division of the lath of St. Augustine.

BARSON lies on the open hilly downs, with which this neighbourhood much abounds; they are in like manner for the most part arable, the soil upon the hills is chalky and not over fertile; in the valleys it is inclined to clay, and of course better land, though still of a coarse nature. The court-lodge and church are nearly in the middle of the parish, which has in it, including the street, only twelve houses, and contains about 470 acres of land. This parish as well as its vicinity is exceedingly healthy, and has been already-noticed under Coldred. Instances of longevity here are very frequent and as remarkable, for in 1700 the minister resident in this parish was buried at the age of 96. The minister who preached the funeral sermon was 82. The reader of the service was 87. The parish clerk was the same age, but then absent. The sexton 86, and his wife about 80, and several of the neighbouring parish of Coldred, who attended at the funeral, were above 100 years old; and in the year 1722 there were in this small parish, which consisted only of fifty-eight souls, nine persons, whose ages made 636 years.

At the southern boundary of the parish are a great number of Roman tumuli, or barrows, which adjoin the lines of entrenchments at the end of Eythorne pa rish, all of which have already been noticed under Shebbertswell before, in which parish most of them lie. There is no fair.

There was in king Henry III.'s reign a family resident here, who took their name from it; one of whom, Amicia de Barfreston, was a benefactor to the priory of Davington, as appears by the ledger book of it.

AT THE TIME of taking the survey of Domesday, in the 15th year of the Conqueror's reign, this place was part of the possessions of Odo, the great bishop of Baieux, the king's half-brother, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in it:

In Estrea lath. In Estre hundred, Ralph de Curbespine holds of the bishop, one yoke in Barfrestone. There one very poor woman pays three pence and one farthing. This yoke is, and was worth separately ten shillings.

Rannulf de Colubels holds there one yoke, which has been scotted in Hardes and to this time is not scotted to the king's tax.

On the confiscation of the bishop's estates, which happened on his disgrace, about four years afterwards, this at Barfriston appears to be among the lands which were granted for the defence of Dover castle, to Hugh de Port, and with other lands, made up together the barony of Port, being held by barony of that castle, by the service of performing ward there, for the defence of it.

After which it was held of his descendant, John de St. John, in king Henry III.'s reign, by a family named Wyborne; one of whom, John de Wyborne, held it in king Edward II.'s reign; but before the 20th of king Edward III. this name was extinct here; for it appears then to have been alienated from them, and in the tenure of different persons; one of whom, John de Monynham, seems to have held that part of Wyborne's estate, which comprehended the manor of Batfriston, which after the heirs of Moningham had deserted their patrimony here, was alienated about the latter end of king Henry VI.'s reign, to Sir Thomas Browne, of Beechworth castle, comptroller of the houshold, and in his descendants the property of it continued down to Sir Thomas Browne, of the same place, whose lands were disgavelled by the acts of the 1st and 8th of Elizabeth; not long after the latter year of which he alienated it to Mr. Thomas Boys, of Eythorne, who afterwards removed hither, and dying possessed of it in 1599, was buried in this church. His eldest son Thomas, was of Hoad, and inherited this manor, which his eldest son John Boys, gent. of Hoad, sold at the latter end of king Charles the 1st.'s reign, to Anthony Percival, of Dover, comptroller of the customs there, who died in 1646, and lies buried at Denton, in whose heirs this manor continued, till it was at length sold to Major Richard Harvey, who was of Elmington, in Eythorne first, and afterwards of Danecourt; his grandson, Mr. Richard Harvey, gent was of Barson, and having pulled down the antient mansion of this manor, handsomely rebuilt it, and afterwards resided here. He married Elizabeth Nicholls, of Barham, by whom he has had seven sons and six daughters; of the former, Richard the eldest, now of Ramsgate, was vicar of St. Laurence, and is now of Eastry, and married Judith Matson, by whom he has a son Richard, now vicar of St. Laurence, who married Miss Wade, by whom he has one only son Richard. Henry the second son, is an admiral of the royal navy, and of Walmer, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Wm. Boys, esq. lieutenant-governor of Greenwich hospital, by whom he has had four sons and one daughter. John, the third son, was likewise a captain in the royal navy, and of Heronden, who died in July 1794, at Portsmouth, of the wounds he received in the glorious naval fight against the French, on June the 1st preceding, which prevented the king's intention of making him an admiral, as a reward for his gallant behaviour in it. He left four sons and four daughters; of the former, Henry Wife, esq. the eldest, is now of Heronden, and John is a captain in the navy. Of the daughters, Mary married Wm. Boteler, esq. now of Eastry, and Fanny married Robert Curling, surgeon, of Sandwich, Elizabeth died young, and Sarah. Of the younger sons of Mr. Richard Harvey, of Barson, by Elizabeth Nicholls, Thomas the fourth son is living, but s. p. and Samuel, the sixth son, is of Sandwich, brewer. Of the daughters, Frances, Margaret married to Thomas Freeman, clerk, rector of St. Martin's, and vicar of St. Paul's, in Canterbury; Elizabeth to William Wyborn Bradley, brewer, of Sandwich; and Sarah to John Tucker, clerk, late of Shinglewell, and rector of Gravesend and Luddenham, in this county. (fn. 1) But to return to Mr. Richard Harvey, who after residing here some time, at length in 1792 alienated this estate to John Plumptre, esq. of Fredville, the present owner of it. (fn. 2)

HARTANGER, written in Domesday, Hertange, is a small manor in this parish, which, at the time of taking that survey, was part of the possessions of the bishop of of Baieux, under the general title of whose lands it is thus entered in it:

Radulf, son of Robert, holds of the bishop Hertange. It was taxed at one suling. The arable land is . . . . . In demesne there is one carucate, and five villeins, with two borderers, having two carucates. In the time of king Edward the Confessor, it was worth forty shillings, and afterwards ten shillings, now sixty shillings. Eddid held it of king Edward.

Four years after taking this survey, the bishop's estates, on his disgrace, were confiscated; upon which this manor of Hartangre came into the hands of the crown; whence it was afterwards granted to Simon Fitz-Adam, by whom it was held by knight's service, by barony, of Dover castle, by the service of ward for the space of fifteen days, for the defence of it.

Of Simon Fitz-Adam and his heir Adam Fitzwilliam, this manor was afterwards held by the Pirots. Alan Pirot died possessed of it at the latter end of king Henry I.'s reign, and was succeeded in it by Robert Pirot, whose heir was Ingelram de Fontibus; how long he and his heirs held it, I do not find; but at the latter end of king Henry III. or the beginning of king Edward I.'s reign, William de Hartanger held it. After him it became the estate of Robert de Hardres, as may be seen by the book of knight's fees, and he held it by knight's service of the honor of Clare. In the 8th year of the next reign of king Edward II. his next successor in it was Reginald de Tondresley; how long it continued in that name does not appear; but at the latter end of king Henry VI.'s reign it was come into the possession of Sir Thomas Browne, of Beechworth-castle, whose descendant of the same name, in the beginning of queen Elizabeth's reign, passed it away to Francis Santon, esq. whose son and heir Francis Santon alienated it soon afterwards to Edward Merriweather, second son of Edward, of Shebbertswell, who resided here, and dying possessed of it in 1621, anno 20 James I. was buried in this church, and in his descendants it continued, till at length about the middle of the last century, it was sold to Pot, and Mr. William Pot, citizen and apothecary, of London, gave it by his will in 1691, with other lands in this county, to trustees and their survivors, in trust, for them to pay two hundred pounds per annum, out of the rents and profits of them, to Christ's hospital, and the remaining produce of them to the hospital of Bethlem, in London; in which trust this manor continues vested at this time. (fn. 3)

It appears by the register of Ledes abbey, that Sibilla de Watemle gave to the priory of Ledes, in free and perpetual alms, inter alia, the tithe of Hartangre, which gift was confirmed by archbishop Theobald, in the reign of king Stephen.

There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly or casually relieved are not more than one or two at most.

THIS PARISH is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.

The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary, is a small building of great antiquity; the outside is curiously adorned with carve-work in stone, with circular arches and windows, especially at the east end; the west end has a fine circular arch with Saxon ornaments and zig-zag border; and in the inside is another like arch between the body and chancel. This church, so well known to every lover of antiquity, of which so many engravings have been made, is a most curious specimen of Anglo Saxon architecture. It consists of a body and chancel, separated by a circular arch, supported by two elegant wreathed pillars; a row of singular uncouth heads are round the cornice; a beautiful circular window is at the east end; at the foot of the wall are two circular arches, forming recesses, probably for places of sepulture, and not improbably for the founders of the church. The grand south entrance, now partly hid by a modern porch, is most curiously sculptured with rows of figures of various kinds. Nitches for statues are all round the building. There is no steeple, a small wooden turret having been taken down a few years since. There is only one bell. In the chancel is a mural monument for Thomas Boys, gent. of Barfreston, of the family of Fredville, obt. 1599; arms, Or, a griffin segreant, sable, within a bordure, gules. Another mural monument for Robert Ewell, rector and patron, one of the six preachers of Canterbury cathedral, obt. 1638. A gravestone for George Smith, forty-one years rector of this parish, obt. 1752. Several of the Boy's were buried in this church. In the windows of it were formerly these arms, viz. Azure, two bendlets, argent, within a bordure, and the same arms without the bordure.

¶The advowson of this church, which is a rectory, was antiently appendant to the manor; but in the reign of king Henry VIII. it was become an advowson in gross, and was in the possession of John Boys, of Denton, attorney-general to the duchy of Lancaster, who held it by knight's service of the king, as of his castle of Dover. His son William Boys, esq. of Denton, sold this advowson to his kinsman Thomas Boys, of Aythorne, and in his descendants it continued down till the reign of king Charles I. when it was alienated to Ewell, from one of which name it was sold to Sir Basil Dixwell, who was possessed of it in 1640; since which it has become part of the possessions of the president and fellows of St. John's college, in Oxford, who are the present patrons of it.

This rectory is valued in the king's books at 7l. 14s. it is now a discharged living of the clear yearly value of about thirty pounds. In 1588 it was valued at sixty shillings, and here were communicants forty. In 1640 it was valued at fifty shillings, and here were the like number of communicants.

This rectory has been augmented by the governors of queen Anne's bounty with 200l. and a like sum added to it by the president and fellows of St. John's college, with which the house, barn, and appurtenances were new built, and a barn, stable and lands were purchased in the parish of Alkham, now of the annual rent of thirty pounds.

There is a glebe belonging to it of seven acres, of which one is in Nonington, but in the king's books there is said to be ten acres of glebe land.

In the early 1990s, the SNCB thought to acquire new railcars able to provide two types of service: a suburban service with frequent stops, but also fast connections over long distances. The terms of reference led in December 1992 on the order of 120 railcars triple with the consortium Bombardier / GEC Alsthom (50 in dual voltage version suitable for circulation to France).

For the sake of rationalization, AM 96 were ordered at the same time as the car type I11 , so they have many similarities with these cars. Thus, the body is very similar, while the interior is almost identical between the two AM96 & I11. The AM 96 exhibit good characteristics of acceleration and braking, and a maximum speed of 160 km / h, they ride very well are internal noise is very low. First class is very comfortable. They are all equipped signaling system TBL2 . The first 50 motor (numbered 441-490) can work at a voltage of 25 kV AC, while the other 70 (numbered 501-570) are limited to 3 kV classic Belgian network (running under 1.5 kV is possible in limited performance).

The AM 96 are readily recognizable to large rubber flange which surrounds and protects the front the central driving position. It looks strange, directly inspired railcars IC-3 of the Danish State Railways (which earned the nickname of the AM96 "nose of Denmark"), allows easy transfer from one railcar to another when traffic unit multiple (up to 4 units can be coupled to form 12 couch trains). Indeed, when two railcars are coupled, their rubber ring is compressed to form a seal, while the cab pivots and folds inside the railcar, allowing gangway without doors, it is mechanical origami.

The AM 96 is characterized by a very high level of comfort, modeled on the TGV, marking a dramatic departure from the material ordered so far. Thus, the trains are air-conditioned and equipped with excellent suspension coupled with sound (up to 65 dBA in the compartments). Individual seats are both in first class (2 +1 configuration) than second (2 +2 configuration), and electronic displays are placed inside and outside the train. More facilities are provided for people with disabilities.

The asynchronous motor 96 AM need several improvements to track infrastructure by SNCB before putting them into service with the cross-border connections needing special attention. Then, as their delivery, 96 AM were engaged in different relationships IC (Knokke / Blankenberge - Genk, Antwerp, Charleroi, etc ...).
