The Burns Monument, designed by George H. Broughton and sculpted by Charles Calverley, was dedicated in Washington Park on September 30, 1888. The relief plaques on the base were not added until April, 1891. The sculpture cost $40,000 and was erected with funds provided by the McPherson Legacy.
A life-size bronze seated portrait of Robert Burns is depicted holding a book in his proper right hand and a tam in his proper left hand. The square Scotch granite base is adorned with four bronze relief plaques depicting: "The Cotter's Saturday Night" (a family seated around a father reading aloud from a book); "The Poet Plowman and the Daisy" (Burns standing with his horse and dog in a field); "Tam O'Shanter" (a man galloping away on his horse while spirits chase him); and "Auld Lang Syne" (two men having a drink together and shaking hands across a table).
Robert Burns (1759–1796), also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland's favourite son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as simply The Bard, was a Scottish poet and a lyricist. Widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and a pioneer of the Romantic movement. Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne is often sung at Hogmanay (the last day of the year), and Scots Wha Hae served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain well-known across the world today, include A Red, Red Rose, A Man's A Man for A' That, To a Louse, To a Mouse, The Battle of Sherramuir, Tam o' Shanter and Ae Fond Kiss.
Washington Park, bound by Willett Street, Madison Avenue, State Street and Lake Avenue, was first opened to the public in 1871. The park was laid out by the engineering firm of Bogart, Culyer & Co., with R.H. Bingham, city surveyor, as chief engineer and superintendent. In 1873, Bingham was succeeded by his former assistant, William S. Egerton, who completed the design.

The space shuttle Endeavour and the STS-126 crew landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California after completing a mission to the International Space Station.
This morning we were watching the news and saw that the weather in Florida was too bad for the space shuttle Endeavour to land. NASA canceled the Florida landing and redirected the shuttle to Edwards Air Force Base out in the California desert.
So we looked at each other and said, "That sounds like fun!" Then we jumped in the car and took off. I thought we would be able to get closer to the landing area than we did, but we weren't that lucky. The MPs came and chased us away from the first place we stopped, which wasn't really all that much better than where I took these photos.
The excitement was intense, but the actual performance was severely lacking in my opinion—we were just to far away to clearly see anything. I didn't really see the shuttle until I got home a looked at the photos. I was "shooting blind" since I couldn't see it at all while we were there. (I think it's getting to be time to get new glasses; maybe my photography will improve if I can see what I'm shooting.) Julia was able to see it and she was extremely excited about it.
I'm glad we did it, though, so I can quit wondering about how cool it would be to watch the shuttle land. Maybe after I get new glasses I'll try it again and see if I get better results.

Saturday 12 July 2014 - Day 13 - Alpamayo Base Camp (4,200m / 13,780ft) - Wild camp above Ruina Pampa (4,245m / 13,927ft) (photos)
An easier (lower altitude) day today. Back in Blighty it was Cat and Mark's wedding day.
After a lie in to give the sun time to make it to the Quebrada Alpamayo, we started with a morning stroll up to Laguna Jancarurish, with morning sunlit views of Allpamayu / Alpamayo (5,947m / 19,511ft) and Santa Cruz Grande (6,259m / 20,535ft). The hardest parts were the three stream / river crossings - I am not renowned my gazelle-like leaping abilities.... but I didn't get wet this time.
The rest of the morning was spent with our backs to the Blanca, following the Rio Alpamayo as it flowed downstream. Lots of Inca ruins dotted along the valley, and 'modern' farms and fields which must trace back to those times.
We lunched amidst the ruins of Ruina Pampa (~ 4,000m / 13,123ft ) - a vast complex, with terraces covering the sunnier hillside on the other side of the river - and watched horses being rounded up way down in the valley below. A little later Melky bought one to replace Blackie, our medical horse on last year's Huayhuash Circuit. Many happy hours were spent thinking up names for the new horse - Cappuccino coming a close second to Toffee (I think....).
We left the ruins by an old Inca staircase, which provided a steady ascent all the way up to our camp for the night, tucked away in a corrie with views of snowy Cerro Milluacocha (5,244m / 17,206ft) on the far side of the valley. Melky and team had a mid-afternoon snack of veg noodle soup (and lots of tea) waiting for us, after which Val gave Mike and I a run through the kit we'd need for tomorrow's snow/ice training for novices (gulp): Scarpa boots, crampons, helmet, harness, ice ax and warm gloves - that's half my kit bag!
Kit check, diary writing and scrabble were accompanied this afternoon by Peruvian pop - Melky had got his transistor radio working in anticipation of the final games in the 2014 Football World Cup. Third place play off today and The Final tomorrow. Even in the mountains you can't escape....
As dusk fell, a large local family materialised to collect the Light Education Development (LED) solar lights we'd brought for them, and bringing an old ram and a large sack of potatoes to show their gratitude.

Since 2nd world war, this place sheltered German and later French classical submarines as well as their construction. Thousands of people worked or lived there as soldiers or workers. I was one of them during summer time and still get in mind the very strange atmosphere of the submarine totally nuded of all the stuff inside for its regular maintenance, laying in the waterless dock above my head lighted by neons in the dust night. Today, this place is becoming a sea sail racing base and the Tabarly Academy will open doors soon.
Goodbye the iron shark.

Detail of the base of an Ionic column from the Tetrastyle Temple (also known as the Tempio della Sibilla), Tivoli, Italy.
Date: late second century BCE.
Material: travertine base and column drums, which were covered with a layer of stucco.
Inset drawing modified from R. Delbrück, Hellenistische Bauten in Latium (Strassburg 1912).
Compare to the travertine Ionic base from the Temple of Portunus in Rome, perhaps a slightly later date by 25-50 years (note, for example, the difference in the carving of the lower terminus of the fluting):
This photo was taken after the biopsy. It's a bit hard to see where that was taken but I think the irregular raised area in the centre must be the remnants. Look how damaged the 'normal' skin looks!
U.S. Air Force basic military graduation and coining ceremony is held Sept. 24, 2020, for the 322nd Training Squadron on Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. Due to current world events, the graduation ceremonies will be closed to the public until further notice for safety and security of the newly accessioned Airmen and their family members due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
The base of the controller. It has a USB jack for charging / pairing, and a smaller (also USB, I think) jack marked as "EXT".
Finally, it has two charging pins either side of the jacks for when it's placed in the docking station.

My Blacktron Base, built March 2010 - My biggest moc since i came out from my dark ages - It started as a small outpost, but grew and grew, so that i had to stop the build because i run out of parts - If i ever manage to visit a convention i have to transfer it on a standart baseplate - I also tried to build some playable features and came out with a foldable entrance stairway, a Tower with a roof that can be opened and a foldable Ladder, the big canopie can be removed and there are several balconies to mount the weapons -
I was working late and when you get home it takes a while to wind down so.......Glue up 6 was at 1am, glueup 7 was at 8am. This is phase 8 at 4pm, the Base to hold the motor. The thicker it gets, the less clamps are sutable.
Update The glue was soo cold ( it says 7 degs upwards on the tub) and the wood was damp and it did not harden or cure!
So I'll have to cut new wood and bring it into the house for the next attempt.

Theres nothing better than buying a cheapo copy which transcends more than one manufacturer, a chain reaction of copying as it were! This odd but faintly futuristic looking Fire Engine made by Tian Hong Toys is a blatant copy of the unlicensed Pioneer original which in turn was a copy of the original Matchbox casting! All are officially unlicensed affairs though its widely believed this particular vehicle is heavily based on a real life Gloster Saro Javelin.
Casting maximisation and a complete disregard for reality sees an R.C.M.P. Police livery attached to this though the colour scheme does give it a crisp and smart appearance. Well for me it does anyway! ;-)
Part of a six vehicle set. Mint and boxed.

SLIDESCAN: Home of the Dutch Orions was Valkenburg Naval Air Station at Katwijk aan Zee. Since the eighties, in turn, a device placed on the NATO base at Keflavik Iceland and from the mid-nineties on the military part of the Dr. Albert Plesman Airport (Hato) on Curaçao. Initially a device to strengthen the existing two F-27 Maritimes of the Royal Air Force, later this three pieces after the F-27's were put out of service.
To budgetary considerations were late nineties three aircraft from service which went into storage at the company OGMA in Portugal, the other ten were in the United States modernized by Lockheed Martin.
Since the end of the Cold War, the aircraft was also occasionally used for crisis management operations, as the maritime blockade of small-Yugoslavia, the verification mission over Kosovo, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf region.
In 2003 it was decided to sell the aircraft, the end of 2004 with both Germany (eight pieces) and Portugal (five). The sale closed and in 2006 transferred all Orions and the Naval Air Station Valkenburg lifted.
