Saudia, or Saudi Arabian Airlines (take your pick!) is undergoing a few changes in preparation for the Summer 2016 schedule which will begin in only 3 months time where demand will increase over time. Saudia is planning changes to its 2 flights operating to London Heathrow from both Jeddah and Riyadh.
Effective from 27th March 2016, London Heathrow to Jeddah (SV115/116) operates daily but will see the flight operating with 2-class Boeing 777-300ER's rather than the current Boeing 777-200ER. Meanwhile, London Heathrow to Riyadh (SV117/118) operates daily using First Class-configured Boeing 777-300ER's rather than on selected flights.
Currently, Saudia operates a fleet of 45 Boeing 777's, this includes 23 Boeing 777-200ER's (one is VIP-configured), 3 Boeing 777F's with one more example on-order, and lastly 19 Boeing 777-300ER's with one more example left on-order.
Alpha Kilo Charlie is currently one of 23 Boeing 777-200ER's in service with Saudia as well as just 12 Boeing 777-200ER's that feature First Class interiors. She was delivered new to Saudia in December 1997 and is powered by 2 General Electric GE90-92B engines.

The band was founded in 1978 in Hagerstown, Maryland as The Shooze, then changed its name to The Generators before eventually settling on Kix. They were considered one of Maryland's top cover bands prior to their signing with Atlantic Records in 1981. Though considered by many glam metal, the bands pop-metal stylings drew inspiration from bubblegum pop and new wave as well as hard rock. In 1981, they debuted with a self-titled album “Kix,” featuring "Atomic Bombs," "Heartache," "Contrary Mary","The Itch," "The Kid." "Love at First Sight" instantly became a concert favorite. "KIX Are for Kids" creatively merged the name of the band with two popular cereals of the 1960s and 1970s, KIX (that featured an atomic bomb commercial) and the Trix Rabbit (i.e., "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"). "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" became the band’s most popular concert song, always with a unique ad-lib performance by Whiteman. With this album, the tongue-in-cheek rock & roll style of Kix was established. Their 1983 follow-up, “Cool Kids” showcased a slightly more commercial side of the band featuring the title song and the single "Body Talk.” Somewhat overlooked but a favorite with female fans was the ballad "For Shame."Kix then partnered up with Ratt and future Warrant producer Beau Hill and, in 1985, released the album “Midnite Dynamite,” featuring a hard rock single by the same name and funk rock songs “Cold Shower" and "Sex." The band headed west to begin to make a name for themselves in such places as the Sunset Strip, where Mötley Crüe and other glam metal bands rose to stardom. Kix went back to the studio to write more songs. In 1988, they released “Blow My Fuse,” and finally achieved fame as it went platinum. The slow ballad "Don't Close Your Eyes" -- containing anti-suicide lyrics -- led the way and other popular cuts followed. The album featured popular singles "Cold Blood" and "Blow My Fuse" with popular videos showing the band in concert at Hammerjacks. In 1989, the band released “Kix, Blow My Fuse, the Videos” with their now popular videos and behind-the-scenesfootage. As Kix finally graduated to arenas, they opened for such popular artists as Aerosmith.The album “Hot Wire” finally arrived in 1991 with the single, “Girl Money".. While on tour in 1992, theymade a live album, titled “Kix Live” at the University of Maryland, College Park. This album wasreleased in 1993. In 1995, the band released their final album “Show Business,” on CMC records. Kix broke up in 1995, and Hammerjack’s Concert Hall was torn down in June 1996 to make way for a parking lot for the Baltimore Ravens' stadium.

I had a wonderful rest this weekend. It much needed sleep especially since I had the beginning signs of becoming sick with a sore throat, ached mucles, and light headedness. I went to church today with my family in what seems like the longest time and I'm truly glad I did I feel it rejuvenated my soul and the rest really made me feel renewed. At the moment I am sipping on some homemade cappucino and I am content.

If there was any of you that for a slightest moment wondered where I was, I am where I was, just been busy with finishing Uni.. and stuff . since my last upload, life has been weird for me .. weird, complicated in every single way.. Amidst all these, I had forgotten to take photos until last weekend when this commissioned photoshoot (of newlywed couple ) happened.. Strangely I've got two more shoots on the way, It amazes me when people approach me for shoots! As uni is finished, I really need to be stepping up my game as I want to be a photographer for living .. I'm looking forward to doing more personal shoots though as I've been so overwhelmed with so many emotions and letting out is a must ..

Bangor Craftivist first open get together, making re-useable shopping bags. Six of us met at the Greenhouse community centre and had an enjoyable evening of crafting, tea and cake :)
We all put slogans and logos on our bags which inspire us and make a statement that we feel is important to share. When we are filling our bags with shopping, or using them for our swimming kit(!) they will remind us or someone else who sees them, and might spark some interesting conversations!

a little change,
but it does not change
who you are,
or who you have been
as life goes on,
changes are to come
and change you will be
but the real you..
will always be you

San Francisco
March 19, 2013
This is the south side of the bridge and the site of the future SF Warriors basketball teams arena.
Not everyone in town is thrilled by the new arena. Please read the article by Ann Killion of the SF Chronicle
After a breathtakingly fast start, the Warriors were bound to cool off. To come back to earth.
I'm not talking about this season's performance on the court. I'm talking about the organization's proposed waterfront arena.
The Warriors burst out early, with aggressive play and strong defense and got lots of people, including the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Ed Lee, to wave their pom-poms and cheer every move.
But now comes the tricky part. The project to build a 13-story arena on Piers 30-32 just south of the Bay Bridge on the San Francisco waterfront is about to enter the environmental impact review. And this is the part I've been waiting for. The "what the heck are you thinking?" stage of the process.
This is not a dissertation on whether it's morally right for the Warriors to abandon the city of Oakland and the denizens of Oracle Arena who have supported them through all the terrible times. The Warriors' new ownership made it clear from the moment they bought the team - from their debut press conference at a restaurant on the Embarcadero to their insistence on holding most team functions at a San Francisco hotel - that they want to move across the bay.
Nor is this a treatise on the need for a nice arena in San Francisco to hold a variety of events (yes, let Bruce Springsteen play in the city) or the impact of two years of construction on one of the city's already most-congested arteries (it will be horrendous) or the importance of keeping Red's Java House on its present site.
Rather, this is a simple thought about the thing that makes San Francisco uniquely San Francisco: our beautiful waterfront. Why - on so many environmental and aesthetic levels - would you want to build an enormous structure directly in the bay?
"There are a lot of issues and concerns," said David Lewis, the director of Save the Bay.
Save the Bay was founded almost 50 years ago to combat what was - at the time - a modern vision of progress: filling in the bay and building structures right on top of the water. Half a century later, haven't we learned that this isn't the best use of our waterfront land?
Freeway in the way
Newbies to the city will forget that our waterfront once was mostly walled off from us, both by working piers and by a concrete monstrosity called the Embarcadero Freeway. But after the Loma Prieta earthquake, the damaged freeway was torn down, there was less hard-core maritime activity along the Embarcadero and suddenly the waterfront opened up to the public. Sweeping vistas. A sense of openness. A synergy between land and water.
We are supremely lucky to have as much gorgeous waterfront access as we do. But now the Warriors want to turn one stretch of open bayfront property into an 18,000-seat, billion-dollar arena.
"We have to protect our precious asset," said former mayor Art Agnos, who pushed for the removal of the Embarcadero Freeway. "To put that structure over the water and destroy the advances that we've made in that part of the city would be an abomination."
Aside from the aesthetic issues, with our newfound awareness about climate change and rising tides, does building an arena on the water seem like the smartest, most environmentally sound move?
The Warriors want to compare the proposed building to other iconic waterfront landmarks like the Sydney Opera House. They might want to also note that recent studies show that the Sydney Opera House is considered at considerable risk because of climate change.
Look cool on TV
The Warriors' owners - with their Hollywood state of mind - want a building that will look cool on television, be used in movie shots and engender envy. But there are other spots in San Francisco that probably would be more appropriate for an arena.
The Warriors have met any arguments against the proposed arena by challenging their doubters if they felt the same about AT&T Park. But when AT&T Park was built in the late 1990s, that side of the city was vastly different, in terms of density and traffic. And the ballpark wasn't built out into the bay, but on an inlet.
The Warriors' most compelling argument is that Piers 30-32 are crumbling, and they're providing a much-needed service by renovating the piers. The $120 million cost of refurbishing the pilings is built into the billion-dollar cost of the arena, which the Warriors promise will be privately financed.
It's true that the old pier is just an empty parking lot now and that the decaying structure needs to be replaced.
Obsolete in 2 decades?
But is that worth trading away a piece of the waterfront forever, particularly for a building which - if the sports climate continues at its current pace - will likely be considered obsolete within two decades?
Lewis and his organization are concerned about what else might be approved if the Warriors arena sails through the process.
"It's the precedent," Lewis said. "If this is considered appropriate pier use, where do you draw the line?"
There's been a lot of civic boosterism surrounding the arena: Mayor Lee, who is watching the 49ers pack up and move, even included the theoretical arena in his plans for bidding for the 2024 Olympics.
But an arena won't make San Francisco special. What makes San Francisco special is what the Warriors arena would block off: our beautiful waterfront.

Continued inaction on climate change is impacting communities and ecosystems across the north. One of these affected communities is Santa's workshop.
"I just don't know what to do" said Santa, "the ice is breaking up, the reindeer (caribou) can't find food, and the elves are absolutely distraught."
Members of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition helped Santa, his elves, the caribou and the polar bears reach the federal government by setting up a homeless shelter outside Environment Minister Rona Ambrose's constituency
