The Packard assembly plant has been closed for decades. Recently, developers have purchased the property to begin converting it to a mixed use facility. Security was tight the day we were there. All we could do is shoot through this broken tile.

Situated outside the Broken Hill Council Chambers are sculptures created by Broken Hill artist Geoff De Main, commemorating the Syndicate of Seven; the name given to the original members of the Broken Hill Mining Company who pegged mining leases Block 10 to 16 along the Line of Lode in September 1883.
These leases covered the exposed orebody and the whole of the easily worked ore, which would become known as the richest deposit of silver, lead, and zinc in the world.
The members, who were all workmates at the Mount Gipps Station, were:
George McCulloch (station manager)
Charles Rasp (boundary rider)
Philip Charley (station hand)
George Urquhart (sheep overseer)
George Lind (bookkeeper)
David James (dam sinking contractor)
James Poole (employed by David James)
All agreed to contribute £70 each towards the venture.
In 1884, the syndicate agreed to divide their shareholding and eventually there were fourteen equal partners but only Rasp, McCulloch, Charley, James and Poole retained and original shareholding. The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited was formed in 1885 and the chimney of BHP's first works office survives near the old slag heap.
The BHP Mine's richest ore was exhausted by 1908 and the company began to look eslwhere for profit. The wealth won at Broken Hill by BHP established Australia's iron and steel industry. BHP ceased operations in Broken Hill in 1939. In 2001, the company became a part of BHP Billiton, the world's largest resource company.
Charles Rasp:
Charles Rasp (1846 - 1907), prospector, was born on the 7th of October 1846 at Stuttgart, Duchy of Württemberg, where he was educated. A clerk in a chemical firm, he later trained as an edible-oil technologist with a large chemical manufacturing company in Hamburg, where he worked in the export department as he was fluent in English and French. Rasp was delicate and the bitter winter of 1868 brought on a serious lung weakness, so he decided to leave Germany for a warmer climate.
Rasp arrived in Melbourne in 1869 and found work pruning vines. After two years on agricultural properties he tried the Victorian goldfields but the days of the big strikes were over and the slushy diggings gave him a hacking cough. On advice from friends he moved to New South Wales. He worked on Walwa station, then wandered from place to place until engaged as a boundary rider on Mount Gipps station in the Barrier Ranges in the far west. After discoveries of silver at Silverton and Day Dream every station-hand in the area searched for indications of the metal.
When his duties led him to the 'hill', Rasp often examined the outcrop. No geologist, he was observant and on the 5th of September 1883 pegged the first block on the 'Broken Hill', which he thought was a mountain of tin. On advice of the Mount Gipps manager, George McCulloch, a 'syndicate of seven' was formed and seven blocks pegged to include the whole ridge. Each member subscribed £70 to the unregistered 'Broken Hill Mining Co.' and paid £1 a week towards working the claim.
The syndicate had little success for some months and the Adelaide analysts' reports were disappointing as they only tested for tin. The discovery of rich silver ore in 1885 led to the formation of the Broken Hill Proprietary Co., with a capital of 16,000 £20 shares, 14,000 of which went to the syndicate, and to a rapid growth of the mining industry at Broken Hill. Within five years Rasp had made a fortune.
He was prominently connected with Broken Hill for some years. With a large number of shares in the company, he moved to Adelaide when dividends were declared; he married Agnes Maria Louise Klevesahl there on the 22nd of July 1886. They bought a house, Willyama, where his wife entertained in the grand manner. Rasp preferred his library of French and German books. For some years he had mining interests in Western Australia.
Leaving an estate of £48,000, Rasp died suddenly from a heart attack at his residence on the 22nd of May 1907 and was buried in North Road cemetery, Adelaide. He was childless. In 1914 his widow married Count von Zedtwitz and died in Adelaide in 1936. Oil paintings of Rasp and his wife are in the Charles Rasp Memorial Library, Broken Hill.

I bought 5 wooden giraffes from an old man few years back in Nairobi.
Unfortunately, a few of them got broken maybe during the trip and my nephew... :(
Although they are broken and I've not done a very good job to glue them back, I still love them very much!
A night without a day... a day without a night... the one chance for the curse to be broken. If the Bishop of Aquila sees Navarre and Isabeau at the same time, he'll no longer be a wolf at night nor she a hawk by day.
But Navarre, not believing the prophecy, is determined to kill the bishop. He left Isabeau, still a hawk, in the care of the monk Imperius, promising to kill the bishop before the bells ring. If he fails, he orders Imperius to kill her when he hears the bells. And the bells have just rung.
Convinced that Isabeau is dead, Navarre thought only of vengeance. The Bishop of Aquila is precious near his end...
"Navarre!"
The voice - Isabeau's voice - came from far down the cathedral hall. Turning, Navarre watches, spell-bound, as she walks nearer the church's nave. Then, with a leap, his sword is at the Bishop's throat.
"Look at her! Look! Look at me! Look at us!"
The Bishop looks... the spell is broken... and the quest is over.

"God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever."

This is what happens when you jam a tungsten wedding ring in a vice! It does not bend or deform like gold or silver, it just fractures. Here is a close up of the break.
This was a replacement ring to the first one I lost on the beach in the sand as I was agitating it for the kids to make it fluidize when it slipped off my finger and was no more. Even digging for it had no success. Was gone forever.

I had some adventure as well as peace and quiet while on holiday. Took a Pink Jeep Tour through the red rocks of Sedona. This is part of the trail we had just gone down. Fortunately, we stopped for a moment to watch the jeep behind us descend the rocky path. It was SO COOL!! Hubby, who hates heights or bouncing around, declined the tour and sat by the creek.
I thought to myself 'what could possibly happen?' when my two and half year old asked if she could 'have a turn' wearing my glass ring...um, she hops off the couch, goes directly to the kitchen and drops it on the slate floor. That's what.
All followed by a heartfelt "I'm sorry I broke the ring"....that was repeated over the course of the morning. Aaaaaw.
Glass ring from Bird Rock Beads I have had for years - no more than 3 bucks....I put it on today for the first time in like 7 years thinking, "hmmm? why didn't I get more colors?"
