The BBC is a national institution and provides probably the worlds best public television and radio service. The online services is excellent also. That said, the BBC has come under a lot of criticism lately over variety of issues. The balance between being independent from government whilst providing an appropriate service to the license fee payer has always been difficult and is under even greater scrutiny today.
Broadcasting House is one of the original buildings, but has recently been sold.
1. I am thankful for getting better at respecting my own time. I had a cancelled appointment this morning but already had stuff in my queue with which to do! :) It also makes me limit time I spend on tasks which significantly increases my ability to focus. What tactics do you use to respect your own time? Enquiring minds want to know!! ;)
2. I am thankful for the time I spend by myself. Spending time by myself means not having to explain myself when I blurt out, “It’s a BOOLEAN!” while doing the supper dishes! :) What idiosyncrasies do you have when you are alone? :)
3. I am thankful for finishing, framing, photographing and wrapping a piece on Tuesday.
4. I am thankful for identifying that one thing that holds me back from Biggification and allowing people any opportunity to enjoy my art is that I feel anxious about getting too wrapped up in Biggification that I could/would get sick .. and umm I can’t even say it .. about my transplant. This allowed me to put health in the forefront of my personal manifesto which currently consists of three words ( / Gratitude / make art / health / ) in a circle with two-way arrows. Identifying the elephant in the room has been refreshing. :)
5. I am thankful for reminding myself why I write the thankful lists! To remind myself that I do have (and maybe am much) to be thankful for. Gratitude lists also distract me when I become too enthralled with my own belly button lint.
6. I am thankful that you can never step into the same river twice.
7. I am thankful for finding more excuses to walk and smile - often at the same time! ;)
8. I am really thankful for beautiful writing books with unassuming black covers and smooth unlined paper that I can write and draw on with lovely felt pens that are able to last much longer. Do you have a favourite place and/or way to write? :)
9. I am thankful for Lindsay recommending Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. It has some lovely kernels of wisdom that I identify with AND, like every really good book, it made me laugh, cry and think! :) What really great books have you read? What drew you to the book?
10. I am seriously thankful for the people that blog what they need to communicate (their art) accessibly and are finding sustainable ways to help other people make their own art. Without their help I don’t know that I would have re-started making my own art, continued practising making photos or written anything publicly. They demonstrate that you can make your art, whatever that is, you can find a way. It can take LOT of work but it can be done!! :)
11. I am thankful for people (OK! it was one person!) that sent me stuff like this art making video and this letter to The Kidbecause it made me feel better and inspired me. (They also made me cry dang it.) I am thankful for posting a link to an audio file that helped some people feel better. :) What were you able to do to help someone feel (even) better? Did someone do something that made you feel better (even) better? What was it, did you let the person(s) know?
Thank you for reading. If you don’t feel like leaving a comment to answer any or all of the questions feel free to send a telepathic message, I believe my receptor should be up and running again! ;)
Broadcasting tower is a new high-rise student accommodation building in Leeds city centre. One of its most interesting features is the COR-TEN cladding, which, upon exposure to weather, develops a rust-like layer, protecting it from any more corrosion.
Most of the people I know are not very fond of how the tower looks, but it's hard to deny that its interesting facade and unusual angular shapes make it a very suitable object for photography :)
Had to get REALLY low for this shot, see the previous photo in the photostream ;)

Culture Secretary will outline how independence can boost £400 million sector.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop will today set out how the additional powers of an independent Scotland could support increased TV and film production and help the economy.
Radio and TV production currently employs 3,200 people and had a turnover of £400 million in 2011. However, Ms Hyslop is expected to highlight that the sector in Ireland employs over 6,000 individuals, with Ireland’s RTÉ national broadcaster alone employing almost 2,000 people, against 1,200 employed by the BBC in Scotland – demonstrating what more could be achieved with full control of financial powers.
In a speech to the Royal Television Society in Glasgow, Ms Hyslop will highlight the Scottish Government’s commitment to not only continue, but to build upon current tax incentives for the industry in an independent Scotland.
Ms Hyslop will say:
“Our radio and broadcasting sector is a £400 million industry of enormous importance to Scotland and employs 3,200 people – as well as the many self-employed and freelance staff vital to the sector. And in addition to TV and radio, we also know that the film and video sector are enormously valuable.
“The Scottish Government values the contribution that filmmaking, animation and television production make to Scotland’s rich cultural life with public sector investment in support for the screen sector, across production, education, training and exhibition, increasing to £21 million in 2012-13.
“We have consistently championed Scotland as a location for international film and TV productions and we work hard to ensure Scotland is widely recognised for its world-class talent, crews, facilities and breath taking locations. Scottish Ministers are firmly committed to supporting a sustained increase in production.
“Scotland is a creative and dynamic country and we must be ambitious to do more. Our sector lags behind that of nations comparable in size, such as Ireland and Finland.
“Of course, creating a Scottish Broadcasting Service will do much to address this. But we can and must do much more.
“When you examine the support given in other countries, the potential of Governmental support to encourage the sector is clear. For example, it is telling that in the face of the economic difficulties of the last few years, Ireland has not just maintained but progressively strengthened its support for the sector and continues to do so. In fact, next year it will increase its support still further.
“We are already taking the action we can to support the industry under present constitutional arrangements – we are currently considering a number of proposals for developing and operating a Scottish film studio.
“But with the powers of independence we could do much more for this vital industry. Independence would change broadcasting for the better, both for the industry and for the public.”

Sitting at the helm of MTV Europe, this desk deals with satellite uplinks responsible for piping television to screens across the continent. Displayed here are video feeds from the Hotbird and Astra satellite grids, among others. These control suites are the brains of a modern behemoth; awesomely connected steering wheels of the high-technologies which tirelessly keep the worldwide transmitters on-air around the clock.
From May 1956 until recently, this was the beating heart of regional telly in this part of the North West on the ITV network, but now all that has been transferred to the characterless and frankly unprepossessing Media City on the other side of the Irwell in Salford Quays. This was Quay Street Studios, home to a television station named by founder Leonard Bernstein after his favourite place - the Sierra Granada mountain range in the Andalusia region (pronounced 'Andaloothia') of Spain.
"What Manchester sees today London will see tomorrow" was his proud boast in the year when Britain and France invaded Suez, only for America to tell them to get out of there. Because it wasn't a war they started, they had to get jealous but I digress.
This was also where Richard Madeley (big, BIG fan of Tesco!) met Judy Finnegan who cheerfully told him on his first day at the station back in 1982 that she 'was his mummy' and, let's face it, the years haven't exactly been kind to her!
Of course, I should really have taken a few photos of this in the past when it was an active TV studios but From May 1956 until recently, this was the beating heart of regional telly in this part of the North West on the ITV network, but now all that has been transferred to the characterless and frankly unprepossessing Media City on the other side of the Irwell in Salford Quays a venue shared by the BBC, who also broadcast from the iconic (and should never have been closed) Television Centre. Anyway. this was Quay Street Studios, home to a television station named by founder Leonard Bernstein after his favourite place - the Sierra Granada mountain range in the Andalusia region (pronounced 'Andaloothia') of Spain.

Of course, I should really have taken a few photos of this in the past when it was an active TV studios but what spurred me into action was Peter Kay's tribute to the station Goodbye Granadaland and that was a week before I took these shots. Why a week you may ask? Well, because I forgot to charge my camera battery the night before I first went (June 16), I had to make do with the camera on an old mobile phone. I only took a few photos with that because I was used to MY camera. Anyway, long story short, as soon as I got home that day, I put the battery on charge and it was ready the following week. When taking this shot of the main entrance (for those driving in) on Quay Street itself, I flirted with death a bit because I wanted to get a decent shot and the only way of doing that is to stand in the road...luckily Quay Street isn't that busy! Not just that, but you can just about make out (through the ivy) where the letters 'Granada TV' would have been. Presumably someone with a fucking great big van has liberated these, either that or they're in some museum.
Oh yeah, you may be wondering how the title came about. Well, years ago when the telly started at half nine in the am, they were the words you would have heard uttered in the dulcet tones of Graham James or whoever was announcer that day.
Showing my age, aren't I? But hey, I don't give a fuck!

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
Students at the School are building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the EMMA DEAN, or the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the other boats (MAID OF THE CANON, KITTY CLYDE's SISTER and NO NAME) were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts. (NO NAME was lost to the river shortly after Powell began the descent, though her crew survived).
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is an accredited, non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.
We build both commissioned and speculative boats for sale while teaching students boatbuilding the skills they need to work in the marine trades. If you're interested in our building a boat for you, please feel free to give us a call.
You can reach us via e-mail at info@nwboatschool.org or by calling us at 360-385-4948.
