"THOUGH NEVER 'GLORIFIED' BY THE GREAT ZIEGFELD, SPREEWALD MAIDS' HATS ARE AS BIG AND STARTLING AS ANY IN THE FOLLIES!
For centuries the Wends, a Slavic tribal fragment, have lived in the Spreewald swamps, near Berlin. Besides their life on bicycles, ice skates, and in punts, they are noted for their diet of cherry pie, cucumbers, and stewed eels."

Karate for Kids Testimonial and Review
When my eight-year-old son first asked me if I would let him take Karate for Kids, I was a little worried. Karate seems so dangerous and I was concerned that my boy would end up injured. After talking with my husband, we agreed to give the program a chance and now we are so glad that we did.
First of all, I would like to state that Master Babin is wonderful with the children. While I was apprehensive that the Karate class would be all about fighting, I was relieved to learn that the focus was more on self-defense and moral values. Now my son is healthier than ever, doing an activity that he truly loves.
I would encourage every parent out there looking for a fun exercise-based activity for his or her child to participate in their Karate for Kids program a chance. My son is constantly talking about what he learned in his past karate lessons and practicing his blocks and punches in the living room. He is even playing his video games less.
After my initial reservations, I now cannot imagine my son participating in any other karate program. Consider this my highest recommendation.

Reviews on Karate for Kids
When my son started karate instruction with Karate for Kids, he was timid, had few friends and had trouble paying attention in school. I didn't agree with the doctor who tried to tell me he had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and that I should put him on medication to control it. To me, my son just needed some loving guidance, not to be medicated.
That is when I asked my good friend about her children's experiences with the local martial arts Instructor. Like my son, her children did not have a father figure in their lives and suffered greatly as the result. When they were approaching their teenage years, she decided to enroll them in karate at Karate For Kids Within a matter of weeks, I saw her pre-teen son and daughter become more confident, focused and goal-oriented and knew I wanted the same for my child.
After his very first lesson, my son, then aged nine, was already a changed child. He overflowed with enthusiasm as he explained how the karate for kids program pushed him to reach goals, but was "really nice" about it. To this mom, that means that my son finally got the caring, personal instruction that he deserves.
Thank you for such a fantastic Karate For Kids Program

Testimonial and Review on Martial Arts For Men
I am a forty-eight year old man and, until about four months ago, I had really let myself go. Between work-related stress and the other pressures of my day-to-day existence, I made little time for exercise and gave almost no thought to a healthy diet. In short, I was a mess.
One day, a colleague at my office took me aside and recommended that I sign up for the martial arts program offered locally. He had recently signed up for a class and loved it. After some convincing, I agreed to accompany him to his next class.
Fast-forward to today and I now love my martial arts training. Martial Arts for men workouts feels less like training and more like fun. I have been losing weight and now have a new energy when facing the daily grind. I have gone from one class a week to two, and am thinking of adding a third.
If you are looking for a fun way to get in shape, I would advise you to come on down our Martial Arts for Men Academy. You will not regret it.
Getting younger…

Testimonial and Review on Martial Arts For Women
I never would have thought that taking up martial arts, would change me so much as a person and in so many ways. I still use every occasion to thank my friends, for recommending me the Martial Art courses for women taught by a martial arts school that teaches quality skill sets for women
I used to be a very shy person, and had become quite fearful after having my purse stolen one evening. Now, that is no longer the case. Since participating in the martial arts courses, I have felt more empowered than ever. I enjoyed the friendly and encouraging atmosphere right from the start, and did not feel ashamed of my initial clumsiness.
Now, I can actually impress my friends with some of the moves I learned. Also, I am fully aware that martial arts represent a life style just as much as anything else. My Instructor simply amazed all of us throughout the entire program, with his dedication and willingness to teach us.

A similar shot as the previous one, but shot vertically. Not sure which I prefer-- I like the utility pole here, leading out of frame, but...hm. Ilford Delta 100.
From the same morning as the previous couple of shots, as the sun was making it's presence known. It's a shame that it all happens so fast...so many shots, so little time...
Have a great weekend!...^+^
I understand different make up, but sometimes image change isn't what you'd expect or like (I have like 200 old style bottles)
It's been forecasted that Stamford's skyline is going to change rapidly, and the tower crane is a good indicator. You can see in the background of the picture the large tower crane that is currently building Trump Parc. In the lower left foreground of the picture, I thought the shadowed columns of the Bedford St. garage 3rd level was a nice effect.

12. Fill new bobbin - puff out your chest with pride when the thread fills the bobbin in an even and consistent manner
13. Replace bobbin
14. Attempt to pull bobbin thread through the bottom of the machine
15. Watch bobbin pop off and fly across the room
16. Repeat steps 13 thru 15 four additional times until you realize that doing the same thing over and over again is not working.

Below is a copy of the statement released by the Labour Party leader Deputy Pat Rabbitte
HEART OF MATTER IS : ‘WAS AHERN RIGHT TO ACCEPT MONIES?’
It is fair comment that the Opposition has shown restraint in the matter of the Taoiseach accepting money for private use while a serving Minister. However, since Mr Ahern had created a context that sought to explain the Drumcondra monies in terms of his private family affairs, common decency required that opposition politicians should have demonstrated a certain restraint.
And then on Sunday I heard Minister of State, Conor Lenihan, ridicule that restraint. It was, he said, ineffectiveness, not decency, on the part of the Opposition. The suggestion was apparently that the Opposition should cut through the smokescreen to the heart of the matter. To me the heart of the matter is: was Mr Ahern right to do what he did? Is it remotely credible that monies outstanding for 13 years, without any repayment of any kind, can suddenly be called loans? You don’t need to be as bright as Minister Lenihan to know that these transactions, if they happened, were gifts and therefore there are tax implications.
Can we do more than highlight the absolute impropriety of a serving Minister for Finance accepting payment for a nixer outside the State. Never mind the “no law was broken” defence. By any standards it was wrong. What would have happened to a Senior Civil Servant in the Department of Finance if he trousered money for a private encounter in Manchester? He would be sacked. Why is it alright for the Minister but not alright for the civil servant? What does it say about this Government’s standards that not a single Cabinet Minister can bring himself or herself to say what everybody knows: that what happened at Manchester was wrong. You believe in the tooth fairy if you believe that businessmen happen along to a function in a posh hotel to listen to any old Joe Soap talk to them about the Irish economy and then organise an impromptu collection to give him something for himself.
In normal life you get gifts from your friends and you take loans from strangers. Yet Mr Ahern got loans from his friends and gifts from strangers.
Maybe Minister of State Lenihan’s derision of the Opposition is because we didn’t adequately probe behind the discreet veil drawn over the other 50,000 by Mr Ahern when he says enigmatically that he “put back into” his account. “Back into his account from where”? is the questions that must be answered. Where was the 50.000 resting since Mr Ahern didn’t have a bank account? In a sock in the hotpress? If the Taoiseach says this 50.000 was savings I accept that but if he enjoyed a T.D’s salary, a Ministerial salary and the use of a premises bought by friends of Fianna Fail, how can it be portrayed that he was in straitened circumstances?
Why if there were 50.000 in “savings” was it necessary to raise a Bank loan and if a Bank Loan was in place why was it necessary to have a whiparound to replace the Bank Loan ?
An effective Opposition doing its job must ask the Taoiseach: have you evaded tax? Why did you say you paid CGT and gift tax? Why is that relevant here? Are you serious that you had no Bank account while Minister for Finance? Did you have a Bank Account elsewhere on the Island? Or outside the jurisdiction? Or did someone else open one on your behalf? If the whiparound was among friends why is there a cheque in there for 5,000 from NCB stockbrokers? How many times have NCB been retained by the State? How many of the donors were appointed on how many occasions to state boards? Who were the donors in Manchester? What was the function? Are they involved in business in Ireland? Did any of them win state contracts? Is this another loop in the golden circle?
Our new Tanaiste is also impatient with the Opposition. On Thursday he told the House he could scarcely forbear to sit in silence and watch the Opposition squander the opportunity for accountability. Well the Tanaiste had better grow accustomed to sitting in silence. The only question he will be allowed at Cabinet after this debacle is “Bhuil cead agam dul amach?” Mr McDowell sought and got a mandate to ride shotgun on Fianna Fail standards in government. He has comprehensively failed the first test. As he said himself:
“A party that stands for nothing will stand for anything.”
If the Tanaiste can no longer ask questions aloud maybe he would ask himself what Des O’Malley would have said if the Taoiseach of the day admitted receiving money, not for political purposes, but for his private use while a serving Minister?
Forget the orchestrated phone-ins to radio stations, the unscientific polls and the packed television audiences, was it right or wrong to accept money for private use while a serving Minister? You are on the record as saying you did nothing wrong and your Cabinet Ministers without exception have parroted that line. Brian Lenihan alone said it would be unthinkable.
But all the rest Hannafin, O’Donoghue, O’Dea, Dempsey, Ahern, Coughlan, Martin and Cullen can see no wrong. If anything demonstrates why this country needs a change of government it is the media parade of your Ministers, blind to standards, defending the indefensible.
I *know* this is totally uncool, especially because I have been off and on so much this year and because I put it in all the groups that are the coolest ;) But this is important.
Remember her? Well she's shaving her head to raise money for St.Baldricks again this year!! (Joey wants to keep her hair and grow it) I was so stunned when she said she wanted to do it again., I even tried to talk her out of it. But she has a mind of her own and she wants to help the world. Actually her words "I am going to change the world Mom" Her character stuns me. She is an 8 yo girl in a world where mean girls and cliques and GASP boys surround her already and yet she shows so much bravery and conviction. I hope one day I can grow up to be just like her.
So if you could spare even just a $1.00, I would you owe you everything to see that smile she has when she checks her page.
(FTR, I'm shaving too ;) but I haven't raised anything compared to her.)
I don't know if you remember last year but their school broke a record and raised $89,000. when all was said and done. Well this year we have already raised $88,000 and there is still a week to go. There are close to 100 shavees, in a small school. The goal is 100k. Do you realize how many kids that will help?!

The last time I took a photo at the Cross Hands at Old Sodbury, it was a summers evening with a Wessex B7RLE connecting with a community minibus with the sun on my back.
The 620 has now been won (again) by Stagecoach and their e200 36384 VU11BUW of Stroud depot is seen laying over before heading to Bath. Taken on March 8th 2017, it felt more like winter than summer!
Reading Buses revised its Caversham routes from Monday 19th February, in order to put them on a more secure financial footing.
The 23 and 24 have been re-combined to form circular services, with anticlockwise journeys numbered 23 and clockwise journeys 24 - therefore pink Scania OmniCity 1105, seen arriving at Reading Station North Interchange on the first day of the new arrangements, will have travelled outward via Lower Caversham Caversham Park and inbound via Emmer Green and Caversham Centre.
The pink OmniCitys used on the 23 and 24 will disappear from the fleet soon, and will be replaced by refurbished ADL Enviro400s recently displaced from route 17, which will be painted in a new pink-purple two-tone colour scheme to be branded as "berry". Indeed 1102 and 1103 have already been sold to Midland Classic of Burton-on-Trent, who operated one of they type on loan last year; and they entered service still in their pink livery.
