Affectionately nicknamed Lumpy, this 1949 International Stake Truck is now painted our bright Steam Whistle green and sporting shiny chrome wheels. As one of the first additions to our fleet of vintage vehicles, Lumpy has been helping us spread the Good Beer Folks word across Ontario since 2001! You'll likely see Lumpy at one of the many beer festivals we participate in throughout the year since he has the muscle power to carry up to 3/4 tons of beer!
Ironic yet affectionate term for the city of Brisbane, Australia (population nearing 1.7 million these days).
As far as I am aware, the term "Brisvegas" originated as an ironic association with Las Vegas, to pay out on Brissy's less-than-perfect nightlife scene and perhaps its general "things to do" factor (at the time). And yet, while meant to be an insult initially, recently Brisbanites have "reclaimed" the word, of sorts, as an endearing term for a city that, while not exactly being "where it's at" in any sense of the word, is still a pretty cool place to live.

affectionately known as the "Sow" by tommies, this replacement for the much maligned SA80 was developed from that rifle by engineers at the newly renationalised Enfield Lock plant at the end of the first decade of the C21st .
H&K consulted heavily on the project, and the resultant weapon shows their influence, as well as reflecting their trademark quality.
The SIC sight unit (Sight Infantry Compact) incorporates 4x optical zoom and electronic image enhancement into an unprecedented small package, and the quick release mounting allows rapid use of the backup iron sights.

The Grumman F8F Bearcat (affectionately called "Bear") was an American single-engine naval fighter aircraft of the 1940s. It went on to serve into the mid-20th Century in the United States Navy and other air forces, and would be the company's final piston engined fighter aircraft.
Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat NL9G flew for the US Navy as BuNo 90454. Its construction number is D.18. It was used as an instructional airframe as NAF Norman, Oklahoma in the 1950s. Ed Weiner of Los Angeles, California registered it as N6624C in 1959 and later changed the registration to N3551. Vernon D. Jarvis of Decatur, Illinois acquired it in 1963 and sold it to R. E. Schreder of Bryan, Ohio. Gunther W. Balz of Kalamazoo, Mishigan registered it as N9G in 1968. It flew as race #1 and then as race #7 Roto Finish Special. Preston Parish and the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum in Michigan acquired it in 1978 and restored it in Royal Thai Air Force colors. Now at Falcon Feild Mesa, Arizona.
This example was one of the 23 preproduction models ordered by the U.S. Navy after the prototype had been tested. and it was flown regularly until it crashed on Memorial Day weekend in 1995. Luckily, the damage was minimal, and it was decided that this rare fighter should be restored.
The museum's Bearcat served with VF-19 and, later, with VF-18. Then, in 1959, the late E.D. Weiner bought it for $500. It subsequently had a number of civilian owners before it was acquired by air race pilot Gunther Balz in 1968. Ten years later, Balz donated it to the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum.

Affectionately called Poop Butt, Mercy is one of Ellyn's favorite kids in Luyeye Village. He is one of 5 and doesn't get much attention or fed often. Ellyn has kind of adopted him and teaches him English phrases like "You scared me!" or "Whats up homie?". This is in Ellyn's hut, which is fancier than most because she lives in a "boma" or village-town rather than a rural village.

Affectionately named the “A-10 Warthog” for its aggressive look and often painted with teeth on the nose cone, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is the U.S. Air Force’s Primary Low-Altitude Close Air Support Aircraft, perhaps best known for its fearsome GAU-8 Avenger 30mm Gatling Gun mounted in the nose, the GAU-8 is designed to fire Armour-Piercing Depleted Uranium and High Explosive Incendiary Rounds.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II has excellent maneuverability at low air speeds and altitude, and is a highly accurate and survivable Weapons-Delivery Platform. The Aircraft can loiter near Battle Areas for extended periods of time and operate in low ceiling and visibility conditions. The wide combat radius and short takeoff and landing capability permit operations in and out of locations near Front Lines. Using Night Vision Goggles, A-10 Pilots can conduct their Missions during darkness. Thunderbolt II's have Night Vision Imaging Systems, or Goggle Compatible Single-Seat Cockpits forward of their wings and a large bubble canopy which provides Pilots all-around vision. The Pilots are protected by Titanium Armour that also protects parts of the Flight-Control System. The redundant primary structural sections allow the Aircraft to enjoy better survivability during Close Air Support than did previous Aircraft. They can survive direct hits from Armour-Piercing and High Explosive Projectiles up to 23mm. Their self-sealing fuel cells are protected by internal and external foam. Manual systems back up their redundant hydraulic flight-control systems. This permits Pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power is lost.
The A-10 ''Warthog'' has received many upgrades over the years, 1978 saw the Aircraft receive the Pave Penny Laser Receiver Pod, which sensed reflected laser radiation from a laser designator. Pave Penney has now been discontinued in favor more capable advanced Targeting Pods. The A-10 began receiving an Inertial Navigation System in 1980. Later, the Low-Altitude Safety and Targeting Enhancement (LASTE) upgrade provided Computerised Weapon-Aiming Equipment, an Autopilot, and a Ground-Collision Warning System. In 1999, the Aircraft began to receive ''Global Positioning System'' Navigation Systems and a new Multi-Function display. In 2005, the entire A-10 fleet began receiving the Precision Engagement upgrades, that include an improved Fire Control System, Electronic Countermeasures, upgraded Cockpit Displays, the ability to deliver Smart Bombs, moving Map Display, hands on throttle and stick, Digital Stores Management, LITENING and Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod Integration, Situational Awareness Data Link, Vvariable Message Format, or VMF, GPS-Guided Weapons, and upgraded DC power. The entire A-10 fleet has been Precision Engagement modified and now carries the A-10C designation.
The Thunderbolt II can be serviced and operated from austere bases with limited facilities near Battle Areas, many of the Aircraft's parts are interchangeable left and right, including the Engines, Main Landing Gear and Vertical Stabilizers. Avionics equipment includes Multi-Band Communications, Global Positioning System and Inertial Navigation systems, Infrared and Electronic Countermeasures against Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface threats. And, it has a Head-Up Display to display flight and weapons delivery information. The Thunderbolt II can employ a wide variety of Conventional Munitions, including General Purpose Bombs, Cluster Bomb Units, Laser Guided Bombs, joint Direct Attack Munitions or JDAM, Wind Corrected Munitions dispenser, AGM-65 Maverick and AIM-9 Sidewinder Missiles, Rockets, Illumination Flares, and the GAU-8/A 30mm Cannon, capable of firing 3,900 rounds per minute to defeat a wide variety of Targets including Tanks.
The first production A-10A was delivered to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, in October 1975. The upgraded A-10C reached initial operational capability in September 2007. Specifically designed for Close Air Support, its combination of large and varied Ordnance Load, long Loiter Time, accurate Weapons Delivery, austere Field Capability, and survivability has proven invaluable to the United States and its Allies. The Aircraft has participated in operations Desert Storm, Southern Watch, Provide Comfort, Desert Fox, Noble Anvil, Deny Flight, Deliberate Guard, Allied Force, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

Düsseldorf’s Königsallee, affectionately known as the "Kö," is globally renowned for its high-end luxury boutiques, glamorous fashionistas, and opulent architecture. Yet, running directly through the heart of this retail paradise is a historic, tree-lined canal that plays host to a completely different kind of resident: a thriving population of urban wildlife. While wealthy shoppers stroll past window displays of Gucci and Prada, the calm waters and grassy banks of the canal serve as a bustling sanctuary for nature, creating a striking contrast between cosmopolitan luxury and untamed avian life.
Among the most prominent and charismatic fixtures of this urban oasis are the Egyptian geese. Characterized by their striking, mask-like dark brown eye patches, pink legs, and mottled plumage, these ornate birds confidently strut down the manicured lawns alongside the Kö. Originally brought to Europe as ornamental park waterfowl, these adaptable birds have enthusiastically claimed Düsseldorf as their own, often out-maneuvering local species with their highly territorial and boisterous behavior. They can frequently be seen diving for underwater plants or demanding the attention of passing tourists, completely unfazed by the city noise.
Sharing this premium real estate are the equally imposing Canada geese, easily recognizable by their sleek black necks, white chinstraps, and large, sturdy builds. These geese add a layer of serene, North American wilderness to the European cityscape as they glide gracefully down the central moat under the shade of ancient chestnut trees. While they generally coexist peacefully with the bustling human traffic, they are not afraid to loudly hiss or claim the right-of-way on the walking paths, reminding visitors that even in Germany's capital of fashion, nature ultimately sets its own trends.

In Affectionate Remembrance
William Nurse
Master Mariner
Who died February 14th 1886 (?)
Aged 52 years
The 1871 Census lists a 37 year old Mariner, William Nurse living in his parents house on the High Street, Blakeney. Blakeney is shown as his place of birth, and he is unmarried. His parents are William, (aged 70 and a retired Ships master from Weybourne) and Hannah, (aged 71 and from Cley).
William doesn’t appear to be on the 1861 Census.
The most likely candidate on the 1851 Census is a 16 year staying with an uncle\aunt at Egmere (Unfortunately the details of the rest of the family are on the previous page, and the Genes Re-United web-site doesn’t give you the facility to scroll forwards or backwards. The family name appears to be Parsons). William is working as an Agricultural Labourer and his place of birth is given as Weybourne.

St George's was designed and built by a local man, Thomas Gilbert (1706-1776). He was the grandson of another Thomas Gilbert, who was the clerk of the Portland Quarries. He aided Sir Christopher Wren in choosing the stone he wanted for St Paul's Cathedral.
It is an historically interesting Georgian church, started in 1754 and consecrated by the Bishop of Bristol on July 29th 1766. It was then the only parish church on the island and was built to replace the older medieval church of St Andrew's at Church Ope. This had fallen into disrepair, largely due to landslip, so the decision was made in 1753 to build a new church. The stones from St Andrew's Church were allowed to be sold or used for St George's.
St George's is largely built in ashlar blocks of roach stone, quarried on the Island. Some of the old stones from St Andrew's were also incorporated.
The church's design was of a cruciform plan, with a central saucer dome and a western steeple with cupola and was built with four galleries, the one over the chancel having access via an external flight of steps on the north wall.
Externally it is very striking, but was never known internally for comfort.
The interior is an almost perfect period piece with its box pews, each with its own door and latch, three galleries now (built with four) and twin centrally placed pulpits (actually one pulpit and one matching reading desk), making it of almost unique architectural significance. However, the interior appears to have not been completely finished in time for the consecration.
Sadly, by 1798 the roof timbers had become so decayed that the whole roof had to be rebuilt, and so the church needed large sums of money spending on it, only 32 years after its consecration.
More repairs were undertaken around 60 years later, when the church was re-ordered.
By the 20th century a shortage of seating for the growing population, the increasing need for expensive general repairs, and an increasing feeling of the unsuitability of the site for the majority of the population, led to a growing feeling that a new church should be built. Subsequently, All Saints in Easton Square was erected and St George's was closed.
Following its closure, St George's fell into neglect, even suffering WW II bomb damage. In 1970 the church was formally declared redundant and in 1971 became one of the first churches to be vested in the Redundant Churches Fund (since 1994 known as the Churches Conservation Trust).
Two services are still allowed annually in the church, usually on St George's Day and at Christmas. Others such as special occasions or weddings may be allowed by arrangements with the Bishop of Salisbury, under whose jurisdiction it now is.
Affectionately known as the “Tin Goose,” the Ford Tri-Motor was the largest civil aircraft in America when it first flew on August 2, 1926. Its all-metal, corrugated aluminum construction and the prestigious Ford name made it immediately popular with passengers and airline operators. Highlighted in this image is a wing of the Ford Tri-Motor.
