A group of Trandoshans hunters gathered on the plant to enjoy their favorite hobby: hunting down Wookiee prisoners. Preferably unarmed Wookiees because it’s not so “fun” when the prey shoots back (I never liked Trandoshans).
According to their “traditions” the group of ten Trandoshans brought the unarmed Wookiee prisoner to this planet where they started their little twisted show.
However on the planet there is another hunter. Someone who came here to track down a prey worth of legend and he is not pleased by the cowardice of these “Space Lizards”.
The Predator tracks down the Trandoshans, killing the dishonorable hunters one by one.
As the Space Lizards meet their demise the Wookiee enjoys his staying on the planet.
Sometimes very good things come from crossovers and the Wookiee is very pleased by this particular one.
The Predator is one of the action figures by Neca based on the Predator Dark Horse Comics.
I hope you like this photo :)
This week in 2007, the space shuttle Atlantis, mission STS-117, landed at Edwards Air Force Base following the completion of a successful 14-day mission to the International Space Station. The primary mission objective was to deliver the second and third starboard truss segments, S3 and S4, and another pair of solar arrays to the station. Today, the Payload Operations Integration Center at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center serves as "science central" for the space station, working 24/7, 365 days a year in support of the orbiting laboratory's scientific experiments. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating, and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space.

To reach Everest Base Camp after eight days of a vigorous trek is an amazing feeling. To see the shimmering Khumbu icefall, the iconic yellow tents of EBC completely ensconced in a Colosseum of huge peaks & hustle & bustle on the approach is a magical moment alright. I laughed & choked at seeing the yellow tents; yes at the same time! :D

The Battle of Basing re-enactment of 2010 was carried out by The Sealed Knot, which is the oldest and largest historical re-enactment society in the UK and Europe, respectively.
The society is dedicated to commemorating and educating the public about the English Civil War and the 17th Century. They stage events throughout the country, including large-scale re-enactments of battles, skirmishes, and sieges, as well as smaller educational visits to schools. The Sealed Knot aims to honour those who died in the English Civil War, educate the public about the period, and bring history to life through immersive experiences. It is a registered educational charity.
The Sealed Knot takes its name from the original Sealed Knot, a secret association aimed at the restoration of the monarchy, although the modern incarnation has none of the political affiliations of its namesake. Apart from re-enactment, it is also involved in research into the history of the Civil War, and education (at the school or college level) about the same.
The siege of Basing House near Basingstoke in Hampshire, was a Parliamentarian victory late in the First English Civil War. Whereas the title of the event may suggest a single siege, there were in fact three major engagements. John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester owned the House and as a committed Royalist garrisoned it in support of King Charles I, as it commanded the road from London to the west through Salisbury.
The first engagement was in November 1643, when Sir William Waller at the head of an army of about 7,000 attempted to take Basing House by direct assault.
Early in 1644 the Parliamentarians attempted to arrange the secret surrender of Basing House with Lord Edward Paulet, the Marquess of Winchester's younger brother, but the plot was discovered.
Then on 4 June 1644, Colonel Richard Norton using Parliamentary troops from the Hampshire garrisons closely invested Basing House and attempted to starve the garrison into submission. This siege was broken on 12 September 1644 when a relief column under the command of Colonel Henry Gage broke through parliamentary lines.
The final siege took place in October 1645, and the House caught fire and was badly damaged. What remained was "totally slighted and demolished" by order of Parliament, with the bricks of the House offered free to anyone who would cart them away.

J'ai modifié le code couleur et modifié les différents modules pour y ajouter une grand panel trans clear.
J'ai modifié les éclairages aussi afin qu'ils puissent être actionnés derrière les rochers à l'arrière du MOC

Concreted
Saturday morning and me and my Father in law concreted the base for our greenhouse.
We mixed the concrete ourselves. It took 1.5 tonnes of limestone chippings, (just over) .5 tonne of building sand, and 9.5 bags of cement.
Though the perspective doesn’t look like it on this photo, the base is 8’6” x 8’6”, for the 8’ x 8’ greenhouse.
(The greenhouse arrived on Friday! The delivery time was 10 days, but it came in 4 days.
My weather app at lunchtime yesterday said that we could expect rain at 7.00pm. So it wouldn’t need covering …
At 1.30pm I set off to the football. Once I got inside Turf Moor it started raining… then barely stopped until nighttime. I wasn’t a happy man.
Fortunately, due to its sheltered position the rain hasn’t affected it.
I’ll erect the greenhouse in 7-10 days, once the concrete has fully hardened.

Just one more shot of the group as the sun was setting over the Platte River mouth near Lake Michigan. This photo walk was sponsored by the Traverse Area Camera Club. It will be nice to review these shots in a few months just to imagine warm temperatures and sunsets again!

First of all, sorry for the corny title but it's just that I heard they wanted to raise the toll to a whopping 10 dollars (let's just skip 7, 8, and 9!) and do away with the human toll attendants. I don't even want to know how that is possible or seems like a good idea to anyone. I don't even use those creepy "self checkout" things in Home Depot.
Ah, that's better. Haha. With that out of the way, I just wanted to pay a little respect to the base of this often-photographed tower, seeing as how lately it has been all about the tips.
Thanks for looking!

A very nice place to have a drink or two in the evening. This picture was taken from 76 meter tall Clérigos Tower, Porto, Portugal.
