Production of the new 200, 200D and 230 models commenced in July, 1965, replacing the W110 190c and 190d. The engine in the 200 had the bore increased from 85 to 87 mm, giving a 1988 cc displacement, and was fitted with twin carburetors. Visually, the second series models had the front indicators relocated from the top of the front fenders to below the headlights. At the rear, the tail lights were enlarged and squared off and the chrome trim was revised (including the removal of the chrome trim from the trailing edge of the tailfins). All models now featured air outlets with chrome trim on the C-pillars (identical to the W111 models). Inside, there were very few changes except all models now featured reclining front seats (excluding the bench seats) this had been previously an option on the 190c and 190Dc, and the 230 had a central armrest in the back seat as standard.

Well this will fix that Lard Ass's wagon - I ordered new swivel, ejector bucket seats with armrests for our Custom Royal Softtop. Ermine chubby, you are MINE! clapped Celia gleefully.
Yesterday was truly amazing for watching birds in our wee garden. All day the garden was bustling with all sorts of birds - from parenting blackbirds, a flock of starlings, woodpigeons, coal tits, sparrows, robins and a pair of goldfinches. The goldfinches were looking for nesting material and I noticed that one of them always took the same route for his ventures, landing on our wooden bench, then making it into the hedge and back. So I quickly fitted my 70-300 mm lens and sat down in front of the window and waited for the perfect moment. I came up with a few 'in-flight' shots but I really like this one where the bird is taking the drop down from the bench - seemingly suspended in midair.
This bug I believe is a strawberry root weevil(Otiorhynchus ovatus). On a park bench armrest. Single shot.
The 1951 Henry J was designed to carry the fewest possible components, and built from the fewest parts. To save body stamping costs, early Henry Js did not have rear trunk lids; owners had to access the trunk by folding down the rear seat. Another cost-saving measure was to offer the car only as a two-door sedan with fixed rear windows. Also lacking in the basic version were glove compartment, armrests, passenger-side inside sun visor and flow-through ventilation.
The monument was unveiled on September 16, 2007, for the second cultural and tourism forum, "Dialogue of Cultures on the Great Divide."

On May 28, 1770, Empress Catherine II ordered the Senate to consider the question of Vyshny Volochyok's administrative status, that is, its establishment as a city. Two years later, on April 2, 1772, another question was raised regarding the structure of the newly established city and its coat of arms, which consists of a silver shield with an ermine fur top and an imperial crown above a loaded boat on a blue stepped terrace.
The city status granted to Vyshny Volochyok is honored in memory of Catherine II the Great. The monument to the empress was planned for the second cultural and tourism forum, "Dialogue of Cultures on the Great Divide."
The monument's creator is Russian artist and sculptor Yuri Viktorovich Zlotya, Honored Artist of Russia. He explained his vision of this historical figure: "I tried to create my work in a way that would please Catherine herself, first and foremost."
The bronze monument depicts Empress Catherine II majestically seated on a throne adorned with eagle heads on the armrests and eagle paws on the legs, topped by the Russian coat of arms. The Empress is dressed in ceremonial attire, over which is draped a mantle trimmed with ermine. In her right hand, she holds a scepter, and in her left, a wreath symbolizing her decree establishing the city of Vyshny Volochok. The monument stands 2.80 meters tall and weighs 1,700 kilograms. It stands on a specially constructed platform atop a granite pedestal.
With the passenger seat removed, this shows the how the center armrest is mounted between the seats.

My Journal entry from day one at a traditional Japanese hotel continues from the previous photo ....
Dinner done, I returned to my sparse little room to find a futon bed had been made up where the low table and floor level chair had been. These now stood to one side and against the wall. My room was centrally heated, was very hot and there was no way to regulate the temperature. In these furnace conditions, I opted to sleep on top of the doona that was spread over the futon bed.
In the absence of any other bedding, I opted to throw my kimono over myself and settled down to try and sleep. But first I had to deal with the bum burner toilet. As with all Japanese toilets, there are a dazzling array of controls attached to every toilet. In Tokyo the controls were labelled in Japanese and English, but not so in Ryokan. I had no idea how to turn down, or better still, turn off the toilet seat heater. I just knew it was blazing hot and needed to be extinguished.
Nishi San came to my room, and after pressing one button three times, the bum burner was quelled. The next challenge was getting onto and out of my rock hard futon bed that was just a few centimetres above the floor. With no supports or hand grips, getting down to the bed was one thing, getting up quite another. I brought one of the armchairs from the adjacent room and put it beside my futon bed. That way I could roll off the bed, get on my knees and using the armrests for leverage, raise myself to my feet.
It was impossible to get comfortable on the futon bed, even with a dooner under me. My poor old bones just seemed to be in conflict with the floor, no matter which way I lay. Eventually and in desperation, I broke out my emergency stash of Valium and soon drifted off to sleep.

The long stalls of the Great Choir stand between the High Altar and the nave. The oak stalls were designed by Cathedral architects and carved by furniture makers Irving & Casson-A.H. Davenport and Company. During the week, the Great Choir provides seating for worshippers, and on Sundays, for the Cathedral Choir.
The stalls feature needlework cushions that represent the various dioceses of the Episcopal Church, and two seats are reserved for the chaplains of the U.S. House and Senate. At the east end, two canopied seats are reserved for the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (the Cathedral is where presiding bishops are installed) and the Bishop of Washington.
The hand-carved armrests feature unique carved images, including Noah’s Ark, Moses in the bulrushes, the Christmas angels and various Christian symbols. Carved during and after World War II, the armrests also feature contemporary elements, such as St. George’s lion (the symbol of Great Britain) devouring a snake whose face is a caricature of Adolf Hitler.
At the heart of the Great Choir sits the console for the Cathedral’s 1938 Skinner pipe organ, a massive instrument composed of nearly 10,000 pipes.

The Rolls-Royce 20/25 HP was built between 1929 and 1936 as the successor to the 20 HP. It was the most popular Rolls-Royce model between the two world wars. All 20/25 HP models were fitted with bodies made by independent coachbuilders, many of which were one-offs.
The GPS2 chassis was ordered in 1931 by its first owner, Harold Heal, a famous furniture designer and supplier to the royal court, who had a preference for the colour blue. When H.J. Mulliner was commissioned to design the special Weymann lightweight body for this car, he treated it in blue: fabric, imitation leather, leather, paint; a colour scheme that it has retained to this day. The unusually sporty lines of the bodywork for a Rolls-Royce were undoubtedly strongly influenced by Harold Heal, as no other Rolls-Royce has a similar design. With its lightweight Weymann-style bodywork, GPS2 was indeed a very agile car. Heal remained the owner until his death in 1949. In 1969, it passed into the hands of its fourth owner, Mr W.J. Cooke of Leicester, and his family kept it for 41 years before selling it to its current owner, a German enthusiast, in 2013.
The spectacularly flared front wings, combined with the elongated bonnet with louvres, give the car the look of the experimental Rolls-Royce Phantoms: it is a Phantom in miniature. The interior is beautifully upholstered in blue leather, with door handles, pockets, armrests and other features, no doubt carefully designed by Mulliner for this particular customer. Interestingly, the rear seats can be easily removed, allowing for plenty of luggage space on long journeys. GPS2 is undoubtedly the sportiest and most desirable of the 20/25 HP models ever built. Rarely seen and with a perfectly clear history, it will also delight its next owner with its highly desirable original condition, which will allow it to compete without fear in the world’s greatest concours d’elegance events!

These smart tri-axle E400MMC-XLB buses have replaced the Gemini 3's that were briefly on the premium airport route to/from Edinburgh Airport. The interior is extremely posh with red cloth moquette thick high back coach seats with leather headrests, armrests, a 2 X 1 seating arrangement, red strip lighting with white spot lights on every seat. Extremely nice!
Reprocessed (and very recent) picture of Tigger resting on the arm rest of the couch soon after Argent died. Tigger could never bring herself to use Argent's spot after she (Argent) died (essentially of old age) in the middle of March. Unfortunately, Tigger died in the middle of April due to metastasized cancer.
Little Sethi was peeking over the armrest of the couch to see if I was ready to throw one of his toy mice. He seemed to be surprised that he was staring at the camera instead. Of course toy mousie followed immediately. :)
This was taken about an hour before game time at a game in which the San Diego Padres humiliated the Dodgers (two days before the famous 4+1 home run game!) At least I had fun taking pictures. We like to sit on the Top Deck at Dodger Stadium where the seats are cheap ($6), the fans are for the most part well behaved, and it's not impossible to get a seat in the section behind home plate. The view is wonderful. The field is laid out in front of you so that you can study the game, noting things like the positions of the fielders for various batters. The steep walk down to your seats can be unnerving, so if you have any fear of heights, get seats on the lower levels. Also, it takes a while to realize that every flyball in not a homerun.
This is my first attempt at HDR. To create this shot I took three exposure bracketed shots propping my arm on the armrest to steady the camera. The pictures were combined and tone-mapped in Photomatix.
Alternate title: sushi, anyone?
This was my first (quick) outing with the Canon EF600mm f4L IS II lens that the nice people at Canon Professional Services (CPS) have lent me. The lens is a monster and I felt like I was lugging around a bazooka, but it is an amazing piece of hardware.
For this shot, I missed the osprey in-flight but was able to capture it after it landed in the middle of the retaining pond, 400-ish feet away. And, I was sort of handheld, shooting at ISO100, f4.5 and 1/1600 sec. exposure time. (I say sort of handheld because I was supporting my elbow on the armrest as I shot out of my car window.)
This overcast, extremely backlit shot is as much a testament to the lens as it is to the Canon 7DII: the unprocessed image is just a silhouette, but I was able to bring out the dramatic scene in post-processing.
TL;DR: I'm suddenly feeling better than ever about the CPS annual membership fee.

Graham sat back down dragging Lucy with him. "Finally alone. Can I unwrap this now?" He asked with a smirk, a hand gliding under her soft sweater, pulling her in to kiss her gently. The young woman chuckled at him. "We're not done yet!" she said softly, pushing away from him, sitting down on the armrest, placing her legs in his lap.
"How 'bout you open the last one?" she asks, pulling a small ,long package from behind the pillow.
"Oh...keys to a new car?" Graham jokes, as he starts to open the package, pulling the paper away.
"Hard to top the new saddle,"he Mutters."But you know, that new Volvo looked really great at the car sales---" He stopped mid-sentence, pulling out a long piece of plastic out of the package , dropping the box to the ground.
"That's a pregnancy test!" he said, staring at her. His face had turned pale and red at the same time as he swallowed hard, looking at Lucy who wasn't quiete sure about his reaction beeing good or bad.
"You..so. We?-" he looks at the small display on the test. "Positive..." he mutters.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked, a little worried. "I know the chances were dim. But we did it!" she smiled at him.
Graham still just stared at the test, into her face and back at the test. The grey eyes behind the glasses had turned reddish.
"Are you crying because your're angry?" Lucy asked brushing over her cheek to wipe away her own Tears.
"I'm not crying!" he said firmly, his lips trembling. "You're crying!" he leaned Forward to grab her, pulling her in closely.
"We're having a baby!" he mutters, her hair in his face,muffling his voice.
"Or two, or three!" Lucy laughed, leaning back to look at him.
Graham took his glasses off,brushing the sleeve of his Sweater against his face.
"You have no idea how happy you're making me!" He leaned in, kissing her softly.
"I love you."
"I know!" Lucy smiled, kissing him gently.
modern furniture series: semae sticker / tee logo / card, des. #3
the semae represents the Eames Low Side Chair by Charles and Ray Eames, 1946
It is hard to imagine now, but the use of plywood and chrome-plated steel in residential furniture was considered edgy, risky, and thoroughly new when this chair made its 1946 debut. It is modern, lightweight, strong, sculptural, and a complete departure from what furniture was.
Charles Ormond Eames, Jr was born in 1907 in Saint Louis, Missouri. By the time he was 14 years old, while attending high school, Charles worked at the Laclede Steel Company as a part-time laborer, where he learned about engineering, drawing, and architecture (and also first entertained the idea of one day becoming an architect).
Charles briefly studied architecture at Washington University in St. Louis on an architectural scholarship. He proposed studying Frank Lloyd Wright to his professors, and when he would not cease his interest in modern architects, he was dismissed from the university. In the report describing why he was dismissed from the university, a professor wrote the comment "His views were too modern." While at Washington University, he met his first wife, Catherine Woermann, whom he married in 1929. A year later, they had a daughter, Lucia.
After he left school and was married, Charles began his own architectural practice, with partners Charles Gray and later Walter Pauley.
One great influence on him was the Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen (whose son Eero, also an architect, would become a partner and friend). At the elder Saarinen's invitation, he moved in 1938 with his wife Catherine and daughter Lucia to Michigan, to further study architecture at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he would become a teacher and head of the industrial design department. One of the requirements of the Architecture and Urban Planning Program, at the time Eames applied, was for the student to have decided upon his project and gathered as much pertinent information in advance – Eames' interest was in the St. Louis waterfront. Together with Eero Saarinen he designed prize-winning furniture for New York's Museum of Modern Art "Organic Design" competition. Their work displayed the new technique of wood moulding (originally developed by Alvar Aalto), that Eames would further develop in many moulded plywood products, including, beside chairs and other furniture, splints and stretchers for the U.S. Navy during World War II.
In 1941, Charles and Catherine divorced, and he married his Cranbrook colleague Ray Kaiser, who was born in Sacramento, California. He then moved with her to Los Angeles, California, where they would work and live for the rest of their lives. In the late 1940s, as part of the Arts & Architecture magazine "Case Study" program, Ray and Charles designed and built the groundbreaking Eames House, Case Study House #8, as their home. Located upon a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and constructed entirely of pre-fabricated steel parts intended for industrial construction, it remains a milestone of modern architecture.
In the 1950s, the Eameses would continue their work in architecture and modern furniture design, often (like in the earlier moulded plywood work) pioneering innovative technologies, such as the fiberglass and plastic resin chairs and the wire mesh chairs designed for Herman Miller. Besides this work, Charles would soon channel his interest in photography into the production of short films. From their first one, the unfinished Traveling Boy (1950), to the extraordinary Powers of Ten (1977), their cinematic work was an outlet for ideas, a vehicle for experimentation and education.
The Eameses also conceived and designed a number of landmark exhibitions. The first of these, Mathematica: a world of numbers...and beyond (1961), was sponsored by IBM, and is the only one of their exhibitions still existant. The original was created for a new wing of the (currently named) California Science Center; it is now owned by and on display at the New York Hall of Science. In late 1961 a duplicate was created for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago; in 1980 it moved to the Museum of Science, Boston. Another version was created for the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair IBM exhibit. After the World's Fair it was moved to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle where it stayed until 1980. The Mathematica Exhibition is still considered a model for scientific popularization exhibitions. It was followed by "A Computer Perspective: Background to the Computer Age" (1971) and "The World of Franklin and Jefferson" (1975-1977), among others.
The office of Charles and Ray Eames, which functioned for more than four decades (1943-88) at 901 Washington Boulevard in Venice, California, included in its staff, at one time of another, a number of remarkable designers, like Don Albinson, Deborah Sussman, Richard Foy and Henry Beer.
Among the many important designs originating there are the molded-plywood DCW (Dining Chair Wood) and DCM (Dining Chair Metal with a plywood seat) (1945), Eames Lounge Chair (1956), the Aluminum Group furniture (1958) and as well as the Eames Chaise (1968), designed for Charles's friend, film director Billy Wilder, the playful Do-Nothing Machine (1957), an early solar energy experiment, and a number of toys.
Short films produced by the couple often document their interests in collecting toys and cultural artifacts on their travels. The films also record the process of hanging their exhibits or producing classic furniture designs, to the purposefully mundane topic of filming soap suds moving over the pavement of a parking lot. Perhaps their most popular movie, "Powers of 10", gives a dramatic demonstration of orders of magnitude by visually zooming away from the earth to the edge of the universe, and then microscopically zooming into the nucleus of a carbon atom. Charles was a prolific photographer as well with thousands of images of their furniture, exhibits and collections, and now a part of the Library of Congress.
Charles Eames died of a heart attack on August 21, 1978 while on a consulting trip in his native Saint Louis, and now has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Ray died 10 years later to the exact day.
At the time of his death they were working on what became their last production, the Eames Sofa which went into production in 1984.

Arne Jaconben:
The Model 3107 chair is one of the most popular chairs in Danish design history. It was designed by Arne Jacobsen, using a new technique in which plywood could be bent in two dimensions. It has been produced exclusively by Fritz Hansen A/S ever since its invention in 1955. It is also the most copied chair in the world.
Being a "copy" itself contributes some irony to that fact. The chair, along with the Jacobsen's Ant chair, was, according to Jacobsen himself, inspired by a chair made by the husband and wife design team of Charles and Ray Eames.
The chair comes with a number of different undercarriges - both as a regular four-legged chair, an office-chair with five wheels and as a barstool. It comes with armrests, a writing-table attached, and different forms of upholstring. To some extent, these additions mar the simple aesthetics of the chair, while contributing with some practical elements.
Arne Jacobsen is the Danish architect who mastered the most personal and successful interpretation of the international functionalism. His architecture includes a considerable number of epoch-making buildings in Denmark, Germany and Great Britain. Arne Jacobsen initially trained as a mason before studying architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts, Copenhagen, graduating in 1927.
From 1927 until 1930, he worked in the architectural office of Paul Holsoe. In 1930, he established his own design office, which he headed until his death in 1971, and worked independently as an architect, interior, furniture, textile and ceramics designer. He was professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts, Copenhagen, from 1956 onwards. His best known projects are St. Catherine's College, Oxford, and the SAS Hotel, Copenhagen.
Arne Jacobsen's designs came into existence as brief sketches and were then modeled in plaster or cardboard in full size. He kept on working until his revolutionary ideas for new furniture had been realized at the utmost perfection. The "Ant" from 1952 became the starting point of his world fame as a furniture designer and became the first of a number of lightweight chairs with seat and back in one piece of moulded wood.

Palazzo Reale - Sala del Trono
La Sala è una delle più splendide del Primo Piano: è stata preparata nel 1831 per il re di Sardegna Carlo Alberto e si armonizza con lo stile seicentesco del soffitto e con il gusto settecentesco delle porte a specchio.
Sul soffitto si può vedere una tela ovale del pittore fiammingo Jan Miel: Il trionfo della Pace che tiene sottomesso il Furore guerriero con in terra Ercole dormiente (1660).
Sulla tappezzeria di colore rosso, originale dell’epoca di re Carlo Alberto, si vedono le iniziali del re (CA), scudi sabaudi e nodi Savoia.
Il trono in legno dorato con stemma sabaudo e leoni ai braccioli, il baldacchino in velluto rosso con pendenti in seta dorata e il prezioso pavimento realizzato con legni pregiati sono stati fatti da Gabriele Capello.
La preziosa balaustra che circonda il trono è in legno intagliato e dorato con due aperture laterali: ha decorazioni vegetali, vasi con fiaccole e putti.
Realizzata nel 1788, si trovava intorno al letto della Duchessa d’Aosta al Secondo Piano.
Carlo Alberto la fa trasferire qui per dare maggior ricchezza alla Sala usata per incontri politici, per la cerimonia del baciamano e per il ricevimenti di ospiti illustri: gli ospiti dovevano inchinarsi appena entrati e poi all’uscita dalla Sala, camminando all’indietro senza mai dare le spalle al Sovrano.
Royal Palace - Throne Room
The hall is one of the most splendid on the first floor: it was prepared in 1831 for the king of Sardinia Carlo Alberto and blends in with the seventeenth-century style of the ceiling and the eighteenth-century taste of the mirrored doors.
On the ceiling you can see an oval canvas by the Flemish painter Jan Miel: The Triumph of Peace that keeps the warrior Furore in subjection with sleeping Hercules on the ground (1660).
On the red tapestry, original from the time of King Charles Albert, you can see the initials of the king (CA), Savoy shields and Savoy knots.
The gilded wooden throne with the Savoy coat of arms and lions on the armrests, the red velvet canopy with golden silk pendants and the precious floor made with precious woods were made by Gabriele Capello.
The precious balustrade surrounding the throne is in carved and gilded wood with two side openings: it has plant decorations, vases with torches and cherubs.
Built in 1788, it was located around the bed of the Duchess of Aosta on the Second Floor.
Carlo Alberto had it transferred here to give greater wealth to the room used for political meetings, for the hand-kissing ceremony and for the receptions of illustrious guests: guests had to bow as soon as they entered and then upon exiting the room, walking backwards without ever turn your back on the Sovereign.
