That's it. No more of this stupid plan. I might collate it into an album or comic strip at some point, just to highlight how insane we are and how much effect we go to to prove we're racist :p
My completed scorecard for the Auburn Doubledays in their game against the Hudson Valley Renegades at Dutchess Stadium
The Doubledays won, 4-3, in 13 innings.
Wappingers Falls, NY, 08/03/13
On the east side of St. Johns Blvd., crews work 20 feet below the roadway to complete a culvert cap.
The culvert cap supports the existing culvert over the Burnt Bridge Creek. Later in this project, St. Johns Blvd. will be built up with fill material until it is approximately 20-feet higher – high enough to carry traffic up and over SR 500. The culvert cap will protect the existing structure from the added weight of the higher roadway and allow the creek to keep flowing on its natural course.
The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrā, lit. "The Red One"),[Note 1][Note 2] the complete Arabic form of which was Qalat Al-Hamra,[Note 3] is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Arab emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.[1] After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but which was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.
Alhambra's late flowering of Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain during the decline of the Nasrid dynasty who were increasingly subject to the Christian Kings of Castile. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings occupied by squatters, Alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of Napoleon, who had conducted retaliatory destruction of the site. The rediscoverers were first British intellectuals and then other north European Romantic travelers. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well-known Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for many songs and stories.[2]
Moorish poets described it as "a pearl set in emeralds," an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them.[3] The palace complex was designed with the mountainous site in mind and many forms of technology were considered. The park (Alameda de la Alhambra), which is overgrown with wildflowers and grass in the spring, was planted by the Moors with roses, oranges, and myrtles; its most characteristic feature, however, is the dense wood of English elms brought by the Duke of Wellington in 1812. The park has a multitude of nightingales and is usually filled with the sound of running water from several fountains and cascades. These are supplied through a conduit 8 km (5.0 mi) long, which is connected with the Darro at the monastery of Jesus del Valle above Granada.[4]
Despite long neglect, willful vandalism, and some ill-judged restoration, the Alhambra endures as an atypical example of Muslim art in its final European stages, relatively uninfluenced by the direct Byzantine influences found in the Mezquita of Córdoba. The majority of the palace buildings are quadrangular in plan, with all the rooms opening on to a central court, and the whole reached its present size simply by the gradual addition of new quadrangles, designed on the same principle, though varying in dimensions, and connected with each other by smaller rooms and passages. Alhambra was extended by the different Muslim rulers who lived in the complex. However, each new section that was added followed the consistent theme of "paradise on earth". Column arcades, fountains with running water, and reflecting pools were used to add to the aesthetic and functional complexity. In every case, the exterior was left plain and austere. Sun and wind were freely admitted. Blue, red, and a golden yellow, all somewhat faded through lapse of time and exposure, are the colors chiefly employed.[4]
The decoration consists for the upper part of the walls, as a rule, of Arabic inscriptions—mostly poems by Ibn Zamrak and others praising the palace—that are manipulated into geometrical patterns with vegetal background set onto an arabesque setting ("Ataurique"). Much of this ornament is carved stucco (plaster) rather than stone. Tile mosaics ("alicatado"), with complicated mathematical patterns ("tracería", most precisely "lacería"), are largely used as panelling for the lower part. Similar designs are displayed on wooden ceilings (Alfarje).[4] Muqarnas are the main elements for vaulting with stucco, and some of the most accomplished dome examples of this kind are in the Court of the Lions halls. The palace complex is designed in the Nasrid style, the last blooming of Islamic Art in the Iberian Peninsula, that had a great influence on the Maghreb to the present day, and on contemporary Mudejar Art, which is characteristic of western elements reinterpreted into Islamic forms and widely popular during the Reconquista in Spain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra

NORFOLK, Va. - Paul Thompson’s hat trick was the dagger Saturday night as the Albany Devils completed a weekend sweep over the Norfolk Admirals, 3-1, at Scope Arena.
Albany capitalized first on the power play at 9:41 of the first period after John Kurtz got called for interference. Raman Hrabarenka started the play below his own blue line by threading a pass to Mike Sislo at center ice. Sislo skated into the Norfolk zone up the left wall and dropped the puck back to the center point for an incoming Hrabarenka. The defenseman wristed the puck towards net, which Thompson deflected behind goaltender Ryan Faragher. The Admirals went into the first intermission down, 1-0.
The Devils doubled their lead early in the second period on another power play goal, this time with Matt Bailey in the box for tripping. Joe Whitney manned the point and sent the puck over to the left wall and Mike Sislo, who turned and swung a pass to Thompson on the goal line. Thompson took a stride to the bottom of the circle and threw the puck on goal, which beat Faragher at 3:12.
Albany’s two-goal lead only lasted about two minutes before Norfolk broke the shutout. Mark Fistric broke up an attempted Devils break-out play to corral the puck at the blue line. Antoine Laganiere picked it up and rimmed it all the way down the boards. Dave Steckel stopped the puck behind the cage and shoveled a pass up to Louis Leblanc, who backhanded it into the twine and cut the Devils’ advantage to 2-1 at 5:13 of the middle frame.
Thompson put the game away with 2:30 remaining. Brandon Montour blasted the puck on Scott Clemmensen, which took a big rebound back to the blue line. The Admirals’ defense was unable to keep it in, and Matt Lorito poked it out to a waiting Thompson. The right winger took off into the Admirals’ end all alone and wristed a shot through the legs of Faragher, giving Thompson a hat trick and Albany the 3-1 win.
Faragher made 16 saves on the 19 shots he faced, and Clemmensen saved 37 of Norfolk’s 38 opportunities. Norfolk was blanked on both of their power play attempts, while Albany went 2-for-5 on the man-advantage.

For weeks, I have been photographing the various trains in the Hunter slowly collecting all of them. One however, I had never seen- the Box Coal train. With todays trip, I had hoped that my card would have a picture of it at the end of the day, and when the train rounded the bend at Singleton, it was a fantastic sight. Here we see RL301, 864 and 872 leading the train under Range Road southbound
Now this piece has broken a few records for us. One - it’s been the longest project we’ve ever been involved with. Taking over 3 years from start to finish! Just before the pandemic the client, a building consultancy firm, got in touch about us painting a mural for their office in Oxford Circus but just before we could have a meeting - lockdown! Since then it’s been stop and start but we’ve finally completed it. Things have changed about a bit in that time though. No longer is it a wall mural but a piece painted on some lovely bespoke wooden artist’s boards so that the client can take them if they ever move offices. Which brings me onto record two. It’s the largest piece we’ve painted that isn’t a wall.
After lockdown was over we managed to have a face to face meeting and then went back to the lab to come up with some designs. It was a pretty open brief but it was mentioned that a few people in the office had sausage dogs so maybe we could incorporate that into the design somehow. Eventually ‘Digger Dog’ was selected and refined and we could finally get to work. Given the size of the boards we had to work outside and the wettest July on record did not help at all with the schedule. Reaching completion was a joyous moment given how long it had been in the works.
Created on some lovely bespoke 150cm x 75cm museum quality artist boards using spray paint, stencils and paint pens, ‘Digger Dog’ was a pretty epic project. I just hope we get to use those boards again. They were a joy to work with.
Cheers

This picture is a better "overall" showing of the beautiful pinwheels. Maybe one day I'll make another of these samplers. I truly am grateful for everyone that participated and the encouragement that pushed me to complete this so quickly. Please see more at why-knot-kwilt.blogspot.com.
after a good bit of time, waiting for my stuff on bricklink, it has all finally arrived, and been built.
in my opinion, i'd like to get some with pinstripes to line the boiler, but even now so, the boiler feels pretty sturdy.
and i'd like to thank the main inspiration for this project, Carl, cheers for the eye candy on you flickr bud ;)
With a little careful adjustment the focusing is buttery-smooth! A great feature of using an acme screw rather than a traditional rack and pinion is that focus remains securely locked wherever you leave it. No additional knobs to tighten, just focus with the big knob and leave it - it will NOT move. There isn't even any backlash! Of course the drawer slides play a significant role in both the great extent and great stability of the focus movement. They do add some weight, but they sure work well.

2.50mm (US 1.5 )
I will have to use a US 3 needle to cast on the second sock and continue with the US 1.5. The rest of the sock is stretchy enough, but the cast-on row is still a bit too tight on my leg.
Completed on: 30th May, 2008

Leland and Carol moved from Topeka to 6000 Block of Pflumm prior to 1977. Their house at 13808 W 81st was completed in 1977 and they moved in.
These slides document the construction of the house between 1977 and about 1979, and the maturation of the landscaping and outside appearance of the house. At one point - their house was for sale and they move to (I think) Oklahoma, but they moved back to the same house about a year later. There are about 900-1000 slides, this is only a sample. Lots of flowers and fruit and gardens too!
These are all color slides - and most are Kodachrome, and most have a note of some sort on them.
The construction was in three main parts - the upstairs in 1977, the basic framing of the basement in 1978, and finishing the basement in 1979. There are a lot of custom touches (and many period wonderful touches) such as the planters visible from the basement, lots of wood trim in the main room, etc.
The basement seems to be the working area of the home, with both of their offices/work areas shown in many pictures
I especially like the repetitive pictures from the same angle over time. These can be used for a MS of some sort by a lever person!!!
The most incredible part of the home is to see the incredible metamorphosis of the yard from mud waller to incredible flowers, abundant fruit and vegetables, all layed out as part of a plan. I think they could have fed the entire neighborhood with the fruit and veggies!
My slides end in about 1984, and I can only hope that there are more out there that can be appreciated by who ever has ended up with them.
NOTE - these were copied quickly at a small dpi without too much fuss over light exposure or balance in order to support a donation to a local museum. In the immediate short term - if you need a better quality image - let me know and I can help you!
