Took some great classes and learned soooooo much!
I took the fabric dye class by Stacy Mitchell 2 years ago and have used the fabric to make my purse labels. I just love her! She is a local artist with international connections. Her annual open house is April 18th. I plan to be there!!
Took some excellent knitting classes. Learned a bunch... good since I really know VERY little. I did the smallest knitting with beads and may make a beaded bracelet instead of the little purse that was the project. Helen, our instructor, has been knitting since she was a small girl.
The hand beading class was amazing... learned so much. I knew nothing before the class and know enough to start experimenting. June Colburn was an inspirational teacher.
Loved the felted bowl and the crochet flowers class instructors. Very helpful! They made the concepts easy to grasp. Both were from a local yarn shop..."The Whole Nine Yarns". Lovely yarns in their booth.... drool!
Something quite different... took a locker hook clutch class. Fascinating textures created with yarns and fabric strips. I now see a way to use my remnants in a beautiful creative way!!!
Textiles! Fibers! FUN!!! =)

Often derided at the time of its launch as being nothing more than a Mercedes van with windows, the V-Class nonetheless filled a niche in their line up if never a particular popular one.

British Rail class 47 diesel locomotives have always been affectionately nicknamed 'Duffs' or 'Spoons' by seasoned railway enthusiasts and locomotive bashers. The ScotRail class 47/7 sub-class that were fitted for push-pull operation on the Glasgow to Edinburgh services in the 1980s (such as 47 712 seen here) were all nicknamed 'Shove-Duffs'.
Class 27, 27008 receives a rewiring, just visible through cab door, and Dual Braking, it is shocking after all this expense that they only lasted a further four years.

After the end of the Vinnish Civil War in 1871, ironclad warships had proven themselves the new face of naval warfare technology. In particular, monitors were favored by the northern Verein for their revolving turrets and idea capability for patrolling rivers and coastal areas. In the years following the war, the remaining Vinnish navy fell behind as the government allocated more resources into national expansion and reconstruction. A sudden encounter with Maian ironclads off the southern Vinnish coast in 1876 soon brought attention to the need for rapid naval re-armament.
The department of the navy re-examined the monitor as an effect combat vessel. The navy had several civil war era vessels still lying around in somewhat derelict condition, and funds were allocated for their reconstruction into modern fighting ships. Work began first on Reiner, named after the 17th century religious movement (we don't know why, all of the monitors have strange names). The original hull was stripped of its turrets and funnel, which were scrapped, and a new superstructure was built on top with two new 12" gun turrets and many smaller 6pdr guns, 1pdr guns, and autocannons. The old wrought iron armor was replaced with modern Harvey steel, the best available at the time. In all, Reiner essentially was reborn into a new vessel, being commissioned in 1891. Being a monitor in the new age of battleships, however, presented some drawbacks. The low freeboard and short range of the vessel essentially barred it from being an oceanic fighter, being limited to the coasts, rivers, and fair weather. However, there have been several cases of wily captains daring to prove otherwise, taking their ships across oceans to far flung ports where no one would ever expect a monitor. The ships of the Reiner class are also infamously poorly ventilated, which has led to some unfortunate casualties due to heat exhaustion. This may also be a factor in the corrosion of the ship's armored piping, which has led to reliability issues and safety hazards during excercises.
Despite these drawbacks, the Reiner-class monitors have proven multiple times that under the right conditions and under a skilled crew, these vessels can far exceed their limitations, and have proven themselves an invaluable asset in the modern Vinnish navy.

Form 2 student (male) in class. In this school there are four streams in Form 2, each with 50+ students. Still, these are the lucky few. There are too few slots at secondary schools, so only the very best students are able to attend. Kashaulili Secondary School, Mpanda District, Katavi Region, Tanzania
