The historic Lake County Courthouse in Crown Point, Indiana.
"The Lake County Courthouse, affectionately referred to as the "Grand Old Lady," eloquently displays combined architectural styles: Romanesque and Georgian. Designed by J. C. Cochran of Chicago, Illinois, this ornate building has been a landmark in Lake County since its erection in 1878.
So many people who visit the historic structure are appreciative of such an attractive and impressive courthouse. The Lake County Courthouse continues to be the center or topic and of pride to those who view it.
Yet, surprisingly, this grand building was once threatened to be demolished in order to create a parking lot. Thankfully, the historical structure was saved from demolition by a group of dedicated citizens. Now placed on the National Register of Historic Places (since May 17, 1973), the Lake County Courthouse is meticulously maintained in order to welcome tourists, shoppers, and other appreciative visitors.
Retired as the house of county government, "The Grand Old Lady" now harbors a medley of unique shops, even a museum featuring Crown Point historical memorabilia.
The first permanent settlers in Lake County were Solon Robinson and Mariah Evans Robinson, who arrived in the Crown Point area in October of 1834. Crown Point, the county seat, was founded in 1834 and incorporated in 1868. Land was deeded for a courthouse and public square by Solon Robinson [a Connecticut native].
Actually, the very first courthouse for Lake County was a two-story log structure, funded by Solon Robinson at his own expense.
In 1878, a plan for a more imposing courthouse and public square came into fruition. Erection of the central portion of the courthouse, including the clock tower, began in 1878. Designer for the courthouse was J. C. Cochran of Chicago, Illinois. Construction materialized through Thomas and Hugh Colwell of Ottawa, Illinois. This original portion of the courthouse was dedicated in 1880 and reached a final cost $52,000.
Because of the expansion of county government, the celebrated courthouse was enlarged by adding a north and south tower. These two-story additions, begun in 1907 and dedicated in 1909, cost $160,000. Architects for the project were Beers and Beers of Chicago. Continued county growth required the addition of single story north and south wings in 1928 at a cost of $80,000.
The Courthouse depicts an age of advancement for Lake County, one of great economic expanse of the oil industry forged by John D. Rockefeller and the beginning of the steel mills by Judge Elbert Gary, making the Calumet Region one of the greatest industrial regions of the world.
The Lake County Courthouse is well-recognized as one of the finest architectural expressions in the state of Indiana. Standing as an impressive historical monument, it will surely continue to represent a steep sense of pride for Lake County and Crown Point, Indiana.
The Lake Court House Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization, continues to maintain and renovate the building." www.crownpoint.net/courthouse.htm
"Because Crown Point had no waiting period for marriage licenses, the city became a popular place to get married and became known as the "Marriage Mill". Many famous people came to Crown Point to be wed including Tom Mix, Rudolph Valentino, Cassius Clay, Jackson 5 patriarch Joseph Jackson." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Point,_Indiana

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.

St Botolph's - affectionately known as the 'Stump' - is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church.
The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing a Norman church, but Christianity in Boston goes back to the 7th century when an Anglo-Saxon missionary monk named Botulph or Botolph is believed to have preached there, and founded a church.
One possible explanation for the town's name is that the place was called Botolph's Stone, later shortened to Boston. Medieval Latin documents show that Bostonians were known as 'viri Sancti Botolphi', St Botolph's men'.
The church, except the tower, was probably completed by about 1390. Early in the 15th century the eastwardly leaning pillars may have necessitated the reroofing of the church; at the same time the aisles were 'modernised'. The chancel was lengthened and repairs were carried out to the nave. The building of the tower was probably started early in the 15th century and took 70 yrs to complete. No one really knows why it is called the 'Stump', although it does resemble a tree with its boughs lopped ready for felling.

The Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. Some may be reserved with strangers unless very well socialized as puppies. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They can become destructive if left too much to their own devices. Train Labradors early not to pull on the leash, as they have very strong necks. Show lines are generally heavier and easier going than field lines. Field lines tend to be very energetic and high strung. Often the best pets are from combination show/field stock. This breed is very popular. If you are planning to show, buy only from a reputable breeder. Labs are a bit more dominant and independent than the Golden Retriever. Some of their talents include: hunting, tracking, retrieving, watchdogging, police work, narcotics detection, guide for the blind, service dog for the disabled, search and rescue, sledding, carting, agility, and competitive obedience. Labs bred from English lines (English Labs) are more calm and laid back than Labradors bred from American lines. Engli
