YES! Finally, I completed Sirenix. I think this is my 3rd complete Winx line with all six girls. I have many complete lines... but only three with all six girls. ;) I'm pretty close with Concert though... just need Layla!
I think now that I have them all I can rank them.
1. Bloom
2. Layla
3. Tecna
4. Flora
5. Musa
6. Stella
Bloom is my favorite because I love this updated face and blue hair, and the colors on her outfit really pop.
Layla is my second favorite because her makeup is SO pretty, and her hair looks great too. My only complaint with her is that I wish she had brighter colors on her outfit.
Tecna is my third favorite, but that's not completely fair, because my sister cut her hair for me. Without the haircut, she'd probably be around number five. But I really love the haircut, and the pattern on her tights is awesome.
Flora is my fourth favorite. Her face is very sweet and gentle, and I love her shirt. I think my only complaint with her is that I wish the colors on her tights contrasted more. Like this they kinda blend together.
Musa is my fifth favorite. I really do like Musa. Her face is adorable and very 'Musa'. I also love her tights.
Stella is my least favorite, which is sad, considering Stella is my favorite character. But there's just too much bright orange on this doll. When kingdomorange2 switched her wings with Flora's she looked much better. I would consider doing that myself, but I don't think anyone else could pull off the orange. bummer.
Now I just need Trix, Color-Change, and Sparkling Lights! I sure hope my TRU still stocks the Trix...

This photo taken at Wreck Beach represents my attitude right now. Although there was a steady rain falling, it didn’t matter. I’m in a happy mood, enjoying life, and focused on positivity each day.
To recap: On Sunday September 14th, I completed Cycle 8 Week 3. I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. On Sept 21th I begin my ninth 28 day treatment cycle, 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill), then 7 days off. I take dexamethasone, an oral steroid, every Monday.
I’m feeling great and my chemo treatment will continue indefinitely as long as my cancer levels remain low and stable. Thank you for your continual encouragement.

"The Meeker Mansion is a 17-room Italianate Victorian mansion located on Spring Street, Puyallup, Washington. It was built by Ezra Meeker, an entrepreneur and Puyallup's first mayor. In 1890, Meeker completed the impressive mansion to please his wife. The house was designed by Ferrell and Darmer, Architects, of Tacoma. The Meeker Mansion is owned and operated by the Ezra Meeker Historical Society, a 300- member, private, non-profit corporation.
The Meeker Mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Principal attractions include a formal ballroom, rooftop widow's walk, speaking tubes (forerunner of the intercom) and six coal-burning fireplaces with hand-carved European mantels. In addition, a drawing room, small parlor, and morning parlor are appealing features of the mansion. A wide range of imported artistic works are counted among the mansion's treasures.
Ezra Meeker earned a reputation as a preserver and champion of the Oregon Trail. That traces of the original trail still exist is due entirely to Meeker. The Ezra Meeker Historical Society's mission is to preserve and promote the historical aspects of the Puyallup Valley and the Oregon Trail, and to provide students and visitors with exhibitions devoted to them.
Continual refurbishment altered the structure of the mansion in many ways. Fine carpentry and the ceilings are covered with coats of paint. The historical society moves ahead by taking on such candidates for restoration. The historical society's aim is to return the home to its original condition, but they lack sufficient details regarding the mansion's interior settings."

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired; though pressed, it is not straitened; though alarmed, it is not confounded...

MacRitchie Reservoir (Chinese: 麦里芝蓄水池, Pinyin: Maìlǐzhī Xùshuǐchí) is Singapore's oldest reservoir. The reservoir was completed in 1868 by impounding water from an earth embankment, and was then known as the Impounding Reservoir or Thomson Reservoir.
More than one square kilometre of primary forest still flourishes in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve today, particularly around MacRitchie Reservoir. Rubber trees, remnants of the plantations from the 19th century, can still be seen along the fringes around the reservoir.
There are boardwalks skirting the edge of the scenic MacRitchie Reservoir and walking trails through the forest. They range in distances from 3 km to 11 km. Interpretative signboards along the boardwalks allow for a self-guided tour along the fringes of the MacRitchie forest.
The boardwalk around the perimeter of the MacRitchie Reservoir brings the visitor through interesting secondary forest in the Central Catchment nature area. The boardwalk which hugs the reservoir also allows for easy exploration of freshwater wildlife. The Ant plant (Macaranga bancana.) and pitcher plants are common in the area.
In addition to the boardwalk, another popular attraction is the HSBC TreeTop Walk, a 250 m aerial free standing suspension bridge spanning Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang which are the two highest points in MacRitchie. The bridge was completed in July 2004, and the TreeTop Walk was officially launched on 5 November 2004. The structure, which is 25 m at its highest point, offers visitors a panoramic view of Upper Peirce Reservoir and the surrounding lush rainforest. Jelutong Tower also offers a view of the Singapore Island Country Club golf course and the MacRitchie Reservoir.
The 3.2 km and 4.8 km trails are still used as cross-country running routes for various inter-school competitions today.
Schools can be seen using the reservoir as a place for water sports such as canoeing and kayaking. There are certain competitions held there annually. A new amenities hub has been recently constructed following the opening of a multi storey car park. This is part of the renewal programme.

Le groupe Absurdity lors du concert WoodBand Fest organisé par les Ground 0
I’m sitting here on our balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean listening to the waves come crashing in as I write my last 365 post. Today is the day! I finished my 365 in Oregon! A whole year has gone by, it’s amazing how fast time flies and then it’s over.
It’s been a year of learning and growing, a year of sharing life with those I would have never met had it not been for coming to Flickr and then coming across Project 365! and giving that a try.
I never imagined it to turn into what it did, sharing bits of my life whether it be joys, struggles, my faith or failures. I’ve felt blessed to be able to share these bits of my life with who ever came by and I’ve always wanted to be transparent in what I’ve shared and my sole purpose was that maybe, just maybe someone would come by who would need a word of encouragement or who needed to know that yeah we all struggle and fail at times but it’s okay…that’s how we learn and grow and give others opportunity to pick us up and dust us off. I’ve had my up days and down days through doing this project, it hasn’t always been easy, it’s been frustrating at times and my family has had to see me in my not so nice moods when things just weren’t working out. There were times when it became the dreaded word…”project 365.” But I think with anything in life there are the good times and the tough times but its how we manage our way through that with those we love. I must confess I have not always done that gracefully as I’ve written about in numerous posts ;-) I think though as I neared the end I broke through some of that.
So though my husband has taken the brunt of my not so nice attitudes at times, he has been my greatest source of encouragement and I’m thankful for that. He has cheered me on, he has spoken those words “that’s it, you’ll just have to make do with what you’ve got,” he has driven me places, helped me and even shown his face in a number of shots. He has wanted to see me complete this and not just because at times he was sick of it :-) but because he wanted me who can start so many things and not finish them to accomplish this one thing to the fullest. My kids have also been a blessing to me in this, they’ve been excited to see what picture I took or what I wrote and they’ve allowed me to show their faces as well in some of my shots. My friend has also been a great source of encouragement…she would say to me “I’m watching your back” as she followed my stream. And my parents and other family members too, they’ve been excited about this project and that has blessed me. It’s funny how when I started I was scared to tell anyone about it because I thought is this a waste of time and what will they think of me spending all this time on this project, but over the year I’ve been able to break out of that.
I’m also thankful to each of you who have encouraged me along the way, who’ve cheered me on and who’ve spoken words of wisdom…it has meant a lot to me and I’ve felt blessed to be a part of your life here on flickr. I even had the exciting opportunity of meeting one flickr friend. It’s kind of a bittersweet feeling to be finished because it becomes so much a part of your daily life but life changes, seasons come and go and so now I am off to enter a new season, not sure exactly what it will look like but I’m sure over time it will unfold.
So today I end with a jumping for joy shot on the Oregon coast as the waves come crashing in, yes my eyes aren’t fully open (I’m winking at you all) but my smile expresses the joy I wanted to convey. It was fun and it was freeing. I had written my words in the sand, did a few shots and then the water came rushing in and washed my words away as the tide was rising and so I had to move in closer to shore and write my words in the sand a second time. Then after I had finished my jump shots I just stood there and watched as the words were washed away by the rising tide a second time...I thought it fitting as it was my final shot.
365 Complete!

A two-copy international giveaway of Paul Jackson's new book, Complete Pleats, runs through Friday, October 16, 2015 on All Things Paper: www.allthingspaper.net/2015/10/complete-pleats-by-paul-ja...
We started with a dusty old cabinet I had salvaged from the dump when we were stationed in Germany. The solid wood cabinet made several moves with us and served as a garage storage container for old paint and random garage-type items.
We sanded the cabinet, and painted it white.
The faucet and tee-towel holder is from a free wharehouse. The silver bowl (ie sink) is from my kitchen and the paint is leftover from when we painted our house.
About the only purchases for this project was the hardware and the wood for the backsplash.
Total project cost just under ten dollars.
A delicious blend of triangles from my Fat Quarter Shop bundle and a few extra fabrics including some hoarded AMH fabrics. Made and completed for my husband for Father's Day 2013.
all done, another one of my favorite portraits to date!! these two little girls were so fun to paint!! also...i am always available for commissions, thanks marla:)

Completed in late 2026 far ahead of schedule, the Kutuzov Class ironically were deployed ahead of the Type-52s they were intended to replace. Focused primarily around anit-infantry warfare, the class fills the role of a heavy dragoon unit, helping to provide a secure platform for close fire-support.
The Crystal Regencies of the Artic Merfolk cannot be complete without these stern regal warriors. Adorned in armor of silver with their tridents sharpened. They're mostly known as their nicknames: The Horizons. They're always prepared to defend the Artic Seas. Calissa took an oath and promises to see it through every day. She's particularly known to be cold in her demeanor. Yet her inside is a lot gentler but only when it's necessary for her to show emotions.

City main parish church of Saint Giles
Object ID: 49309, Parish square 7
Cadastral Community: Klagenfurt
The Roman Catholic parish church Klagenfurt-Saint Giles stands in the town of Klagenfurt at the lake Wörthersee in Carinthia. The parish church Heiliger Ägidius belongs to the deanery Klagenfurt-Stadt in the diocese Gurk-Klagenfurt. The former city main parish church is under monument protection.
History
On the site of today's St. Egid Church was an older church building, which was mentioned as a vicariate of Maria Saal in 1255 for the first time in a document and 1303 was endowed with parochial rights. 1347 was the first documentary mention of a church "sand Gilgen" (St. Egid). 1519 followed the nomination of three priests at the church of St. Egid in the Schematism and 1540 was a restoration of the church.
The architectural form of the original church is evident from existing maps of the years 1605 and 1649. The church had a Gothic high choir, seven altars, a protruding transept and two spiers with pointed helmets connected by a covered wooden corridor.
From 1563 until the recatholicization in 1600, Protestant services were celebrated in the church. 1571 began with the keeping of baptismal books. From 1593 Johannes Herold was cantor. In 1603 the parish became independent.
Fires destroyed the rectory in 1535 and 1636. The Romanesque charnel house fell victim to the fire in 1636. Earthquakes affected the church in 1571, 1680 and 1688. The damage required in 1690 the demolition of the Romanesque church.
The consecration of the new church was carried out by Bishop Kaspar von Lavant on September 8, 1697. The laying of the foundation stone for the new tower was carried out by the Klagenfurt burgrave J. F. Count Orsini-Rosenberg on July 30, 1692. In 1706 the new ringing sounded for the first time and in 1709 the tower was completed. In 1723 there were renewed fire damages to church and tower. Thereafter, the tower was equipped with a Baroque onion helmet. With a height of 91.7 meters, it is after the parish tower in Villach, the second highest church tower in Carinthia and is considered one of the two landmarks of Klagenfurt. As part of guided tours, the 50-meter-high viewing platform of the watchman gallery can be climbed.
The new church was designed as a four-aisled gallery church with a two-bay square choir. Several barrel vaults with lunette caps rest on stucco-lustro pilasters with richly ornamented capitals. The triumphal arch is indicated by a transverse arch on wall pillars. Four side chapels with cross vaults and Baroque windows complete the building. The galleries feature lunette windows, also from the Baroque period.
Four artistically valuable side altars complete the interior design:
Nepomuk Altar (1822): The altar is made of imitation marble and contains as an image the motif of John the Baptist (1728) by Josef Ferdinand Fromiller and laterally figures of the Holy Family. The altar was donated by Egger-Lodron.
Crucifixion altar (1702). The central picture Crucifixion of Christ was painted in 1607 by Adam Imhof.
Barbara Altar (1702). Main image: Saint Barbara with tower and goblet.
Josef's altar (1699) donated by the Orsini-Rosenberg family. Main picture: Saint Joseph. Main painting: Marriage of Mary (both attributed to the Klagenfurt painter Adam Claus).
1729 followed the construction of the new high altar, which was first replaced in 1742 and 1780 by the until now existing high altar.
Around 1740 Benedikt Bläß created a Baroque pulpit, which may be considered one of the most beautiful in Carinthia; its main theme is the aspect of penance. In 1749, the introduction of the Holy-Head-Devotion was under Lorenz Klein. 1760/61 it came to the attachment of the ceiling frescoes by Fromiller and Mölckh.
The parish had in this time the branch churches Holy Spirit (consecrated in 1639) and Kreuzbergl (consecrated in 1742). 1772 was the abandonment of the cemetery in front of the church, having been the burial place for the whole city. 1780 belonged to St. Egid 9689 people, of which 8344 'communicants'. In 1784, it came to the regulation of the now three city parishes under Emperor Joseph II.
The storm damages from 1817 to 1827 after two hurricanes made a ceiling renovation necessary. In this context, it came in 1827 to the consecration of a new bell. 1832 was the separation of the legal connection from the parish of Gurk cathedral chapter. From 1859 to 1861 the church was restored inside. 1877 was again a renovation of the church tower.
Architect Franz Schachner redesigned the façade in 1893 and since 1895 there is a statue of Maria Lourdes in the northeast of the church. In 1906, Novak built a new organ for the church. In 1909, followed the demolition of the row of houses on the old Ring wall (including the organist's house) towards the hay square.
During the First World War, the bells of the church were removed and transported away. In 1924, the consecration of a new ringing took place, which consisted of the Poor soul, Floriani, Mary, Heroes- and Homeland bell. 1942, the bells were removed except for the Homeland bell again for war purposes. During National Socialism there were severe restrictions on the church, during the heavy bombings in Klagenfurt church and rectory remained largely spared.
In 1932, the church music association was founded at St. Egid. Also in 1932 followed the consecration of the church Christ the King and the new priest's house on the Lend Canal. In 1972, the parish of St. Hemma was created by separating an area in the northwest of St. Egid.
From 1964 to 1965, the new vicarage was built. From 1969 to 1974 the church was renovated inside and from 1982 to 1984 outside including the tower. From 1989 Ernst Fuchs designed the south sacristy as a chapel.
In 1990, the church received a new ringing, in 1992 an organ by the Czech organ builder Rieger-Kloss and in 2006 a total restoration was made. The vicarage was extended from 2006 to 2007 and an underground car park was built.
personalities
The writer Julien Green was buried at his own request in 1998 in the city's main parish church of St. Egid in a chapel designed for him. The tomb adorns a text from his diary of November 1954.
From 1991 to 2010, the Austrian painter Ernst Fuchs created an apocalyptic series of scenes for the south chapel ("Fuchs Chapel").
Stadthauptpfarrkirche Heiliger Egid
Objekt ID: 49309, Pfarrplatz 7
Katastralgemeinde: Klagenfurt
Die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche Klagenfurt-St. Egid steht in der Stadtgemeinde Klagenfurt am Wörthersee in Kärnten. Die Pfarrkirche Heiliger Ägidius gehört zum Dekanat Klagenfurt-Stadt in der Diözese Gurk-Klagenfurt. Die ehemalige Stadthauptpfarrkirche steht unter Denkmalschutz.
Geschichte
An der Stelle der heutigen St. Egid-Kirche befand sich ein älteres Kirchengebäude, das als Vikariat von Maria Saal 1255 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt und 1303 mit pfarrlichen Rechten ausgestattet wurde. 1347 war die erste urkundliche Erwähnung eines Gotteshauses “sand Gilgen” (St. Egid). 1519 folgte die Nennung von drei Priestern an der Kirche St. Egid im Schematismus und 1540 erfolgte eine Restaurierung der Kirche.
Die Baugestalt der ursprünglichen Kirche ist aus vorhandenen Stadtplänen der Jahre 1605 und 1649 ersichtlich. Die Kirche verfügte über einen gotischen Hochchor, sieben Altäre, ein vorspringendes Querschiff und zwei Türme mit Spitzhelmen, die durch einen überdachten hölzerner Gang miteinander verbunden waren.
Von 1563 bis zur Rekatholisierung im Jahr 1600 wurden in der Kirche evangelische Gottesdienste gefeiert. 1571 begann man mit der Führung von Taufbüchern. Ab 1593 war Johannes Herold Kantor. 1603 wurde die Pfarre selbständig.
Brände zerstörten das Pfarrhaus 1535 und 1636. Der romanische Karner fiel dem Brand im Jahr 1636 zum Opfer. Erdbeben betrafen die Kirche 1571, 1680 und 1688. Die Schäden machten 1690 den Abbruch der romanischen Kirche erforderlich.
Die Einweihung der neuen Kirche erfolgte durch Bischof Kaspar von Lavant am 8. September 1697. Die Grundsteinlegung für den neuen Turm nahm der Klagenfurter Burggraf J. F. Graf Orsini-Rosenberg am 30. Juli 1692 vor. 1706 erklang erstmals das neue Geläute und 1709 erfolgte die Fertigstellung des Turms. 1723 kam es zu neuerlichen Brandschäden an Kirche und Turm. Danach wurde der Turm mit einem barocken Zwiebelhelm ausgestattet. Mit einer Höhe von 91,7 Metern ist er nach dem Stadtpfarrturm in Villach der zweithöchste Kirchturm Kärntens und gilt als eines der beiden Wahrzeichen von Klagenfurt. Im Rahmen von Führungen kann die 50 Meter hohe Aussichtsplattform der Türmergalerie bestiegen werden.
Die neue Kirche wurde als vierjochige Emporenkirche mit einem zweijochigen quadratischen Chor ausgeführt. Mehrere Tonnengewölbe mit Stichkappen ruhen auf Stucco-lustro-Pilastern mit reich verzierten Kapitellen. Der Triumphbogen wird durch einen Gurtbogen auf Wandpfeilern angedeutet. Je vier Seitenkapellen mit Kreuzgewölben und barocken Fenstern schließen den Bau ab. Die Emporen verfügen über Lünettenfenster, die ebenfalls aus der Barockzeit stammen.
Vier künstlerisch wertvolle Seitenaltäre runden die Innenausstattung ab:
Nepomuk-Altar (1822): Der Altar ist aus Kunstmarmor und enthält als Aufsatzbild das Motiv Johannes der Täufer (1728) von Josef Ferdinand Fromiller und seitlich Figuren der Heiligen Familie. Der Altar wurde von Egger-Lodron gestiftet.
Kreuz-Altar (1702). Das Mittelbild Kreuzigung Christi wurde 1607 von Adam Imhof gemalt.
Barbara-Altar (1702). Hauptbild: Heilige Barbara mit Turm und Kelch.
Josefs-Altar (1699) gestiftet von der Familie Orsini-Rosenberg. Hauptbild: Heiliger Josef. Aufsatzbild: Vermählung Mariens (beide dem Klagenfurter Maler Adam Claus zugeordnet).
1729 erfolgte die Errichtung des neuen Hochaltars, der bereits 1742 erstmals und 1780 durch den seither bestehenden Hochaltar ersetzt wurde.
Um 1740 schuf Benedikt Bläß eine Barockkanzel, die als eine der schönsten in Kärnten angesehen werden darf; ihr Hauptthema ist der Aspekt der Buße. 1749 war die Einführung der Heilig-Haupt-Andacht unter Lorenz Klein. 1760/61 kam es zur Anbringung der Deckenfresken von Fromiller und Mölckh.
Die Pfarre verfügte in dieser Zeit über die Filialkirchen Heiliger Geist (geweiht 1639) und Kreuzbergl (geweiht 1742). 1772 erfolgte die Auflassung des Friedhofs vor der Kirche, der Begräbnisstätte für die ganze Stadt war. 1780 gehörten zu St. Egid 9689 Personen, davon 8344 ‘Kommunikanten’. 1784 kam es zur Regulierung der inzwischen drei Stadtpfarren unter Kaiser Joseph II.
Die von 1817 bis 1827 entstandenen Sturmschäden nach zwei Orkanen machten eine Deckenrenovierung notwendig. In diesem Zusammenhang kam es 1827 zur Einweihung einer neuen Glocke. 1832 erfolgte die Lösung der rechtlichen Verbindung der Pfarre vom Gurker Domkapitel. Von 1859 bis 1861 wurde die Kirche innen restauriert. 1877 erfolgte neuerlich eine Renovierung des Kirchturms.
Architekt Franz Schachner gestaltete 1893 die Fassade neu und seit 1895 steht im Nordosten der Kirche eine Maria-Lourdes-Statue. 1906 baute Novak eine neue Orgel für die Kirche. 1909 folgte die Schleifung der Häuserreihe an der alten Ringmauer (u. a. das Organistenhaus) zum Heuplatz.
Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurden die Glocken der Kirche abgenommen und abtransportiert. 1924 fand die Einweihung eines neuen Geläutes statt, das aus der Armenseelen-, Floriani-, Marien-, Helden- und Heimatglocke bestand. 1942 wurden die Glocken mit Ausnahme der Heimatglocke wieder für Kriegszwecke abtransportiert. Während des Nationalsozialismus gab es starke Beschränkungen für die Kirche, bei den schweren Bombardements in Klagenfurt blieben Kirche und Pfarrhof weitgehend verschont.
1932 kam es zur Gründung des Kirchenmusikvereins zu St. Egid. Ebenfalls 1932 erfolgte die Weihe der Christkönigskirche und des neuen Priesterhauses am Lendkanal. 1972 entstand die Pfarre St. Hemma durch Abtrennung eines Gebiets im Nordwesten von St. Egid.
Von 1964 bis 1965 wurde der neue Pfarrhof errichtet. Von 1969 bis 1974 die Kirche innen und von 1982 bis 1984 außen einschließlich des Turms renoviert. Ab 1989 gestaltete Ernst Fuchs die Südsakristei als Kapelle.
1990 erhielt die Kirche ein neues Geläut, 1992 eine Orgel von der tschechischen Orgelbaufirma Rieger-Kloss und im Jahre 2006 wurde eine Gesamtrestaurierung vorgenommen. Der Pfarrhof wurde 2006 bis 2007 erweitert und eine Tiefgarage errichtet.

During its sojourn at Bressingham, July 15th 1978
"The engine was completed at Crewe in May 1951 at a cost of £20,115 and entered service at Norwich Thorpe depot.
Whilst based at Norwich 70013 was a regular performer on the Broadsman, Norfolkman and East Anglian, the latter being a business train augmented in 1937 which was given a new timetable for the summer of 1951, although the journey times were only trimmed by five minutes. 70013 Oliver Cromwell was not without its problems in running, but this was no more than the average Britannia which were worked hard and gave good service and availability on the Great Eastern express passenger services.
During 1957, it was found that the drive wheels of 70013 had moved in relation to each other; this was caused by the square locking keys, which held the drive wheels in the correct position, being moved and pushed out (ie forced out) resulting in major work being undertaken at Doncaster Works. Towards the latter part of 1960, a substantial crack was noted within the mainframe and this, of course, required immediate remedial treatment, again by Doncaster Works. Only a relative short time later a problem occurred within one of the cylinders; on close inspection it was found that the inner lining had shifted and blocked off the oil supply causing a compression ring failure and consequent lack of power, however this defect occurred four times before actual replacement of the offending cylinder was actioned by Doncaster Works, a delay doubtless caused by austerity measures.
From 1958, diesel-electric locomotives began to replace steam locomotives and by 1961, the influx of new diesel locomotives had taken over many express duties in East Anglia which led to the Britannia class engines working many different trains away from their normal trips to Norwich. Consequently the class was reallocated away from Norwich Thorpe depot to March shed.
This locomotive hauled the last BR steam passenger train over Shap on 26th December 1967. The train carried returning Carlisle football supporters back from a match at Blackpool.
70013 was selected by British Railways to haul a number of special trains throughout 1968. In fact, it was in charge of 16 such trains before it was finally withdrawn from service.
Because of this it had been the last main line engine to receive a repair at Crewe, emerging from the Works on the 2nd February 1967 after a prolonged an expensive overhaul (The overhaul which started in November 1966 was deliberately slowed down to ensure that it was the last locomotive to leave Crewe Works). WD Austerity 2-8-0 90281 did return to Crewe Works on 23rd February to have a faulty regulator valve repaired but 70013 has returned twice to Crewe since being overhauled there. It is interesting to note that of the last fifteen locomotives outshopped from Crewe Works seven were 2-8-0 Austerities, four 4-6-0 Black Fives, two 4-6-2 Britanias (the other was 70014 Iron Duke) and two 2-10-0 standard locomotives. Of the fifteen only two have been preserved – 70013 and Standard 2-10-0 92203.
70013 returned to the works in June 1968 for a paint touch up. The second time it returned was in July 1968 to have its front buffer beam straightened after a rough shunt.
Following 70013’s overhaul at Crewe the locomotive was based at Crewe South depot for a week whilst it was run in on parcel train duties between Crewe and its home base of Carlisle. It then returned to its Carlisle Kingsmoor shed from where, following the withdrawal of the last of its class stablemates, it moved to Carnforth in January 1968.
Following this a grand total of 16 Railtours were organised including the infamous ’15 Guinea Special’ on the 11th August 1968, which involved Britannia 70013 ‘Oliver Cromwell’ hauling the train from Manchester to Carlisle, with other legs of the special’s itinerary shared by three ‘Black Fives’, 45110, 44871 and 44781.
It was withdrawn from service in August 1968 after hauling the Manchester to Carlisle leg of the Fifteen Guinea Special on 11th August. On the 12th August the engine moved under its own power from Carnforth to Norwich and then on to Diss the following day. After this it moved by road to the Bressingham Steam Museum.
Oliver Cromwell had been selected for preservation by the National Railway Museum as part of the National Collection but because of limited storage space an offer from Alan Bloom to house the locomotive at his Bressingham Steam Museum was accepted.
At Bressingham Steam Museum at Diss it provided footplate rides until the 1980s when it became a static exhibit. Following a very long dispute (about ten years) between Bressingham and the National Railway Museum the long term agreement to loan the engine to Bressingham was terminated and the locomotive left on 21st May 2004, travelling by road to York. It had spent nearly 36 years at Bressingham, compared with a main line working life of 17 years.
70013 was a star turn as a static exhibit at the very successful Railfest held at York before it was moved by road to Loughborough later that summer in line with the agreement concluded with the National Railway Museum that the locomotive should be restored to main line running standard by 2008 for the 40th anniversary of the end of steam.
The locomotive was overhauled at the Great Central Railway (GCR) to mainline standards which included the fitting of the train protection warning system, overhaul of 70013’s automatic warning system and the fitment of OTMR.
In early May 2008 it hauled its first revenue-earning passenger services since being restored on the GCR’s eight-mile route. The locomotive made an appearance at the National Railway Museum’s 1968 and All That event celebrating 40 years since the end of steam.
Its first mainline passenger charter since 1968 was on 10 August 2008 when the locomotive took part in a re-run of the Fifteen Guinea Special. It then went on to operate on the Scarborough Spa Express later in the month.
On 14 March 2009 Oliver Cromwell hauled a special on what was said to be the very last train (of any sort) to use the branch line down to Folkestone Harbour, where main line trains used to meet with cross channel ferries.
In March 2010 returned to Crewe for the first time since 1968 to work on the main line over Shap.
A month later, two years after its previous overhaul, Oliver Cromwell suffered from cracks in the firebox and was moved to the GCR for an inspection which lead to the locomotive being withdrawn from service.
During 2010, 70013 Oliver Cromwell underwent firebox repairs at Crewe Heritage Centre. The cab was removed before the rest of the locomotive was sent for repairs to the boiler. Following these repairs, in December 2010 the locomotive had a successful steam test at Crewe.
On 27 May 2012 the locomotive was involved in a blowback incident near Wood Green in North London on a Railway Touring Company railtour called ‘The Peak Forester’. Two of the three crew on board the locomotive had to attend hospital as a result. See Accidents and Incidents for full details.
In August 2013 70013 worked another Fifteen Guinea Special to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the ending of steam on British Railways. 70013 was in charge of the Longsight to Carlisle leg of the special with the other legs being worked by LMS Black 5s numbers 45305, 45231 and 44932.
In early 2015 it was taken out of service as it needed repairs which were completed to allow 70013 to return to steam in August 2016.
Early in 2017 was out of service whilst its superheater elements were replaced at Loughborough. This is fifty years after its last overhaul under BR ownership at Crewe.
After returning to service on the Great Central Railway 70013 was back on the main line at the start of September 2017. It will be operational until March 2018 when the boiler certificate expires but was hoped that this would be extended.
In early 2018 agreement was reached between the National Railway Museum and the 5305 Locomotive Association which left the locomotive custodianship of 70013 with the Loughborough based group. The 5305 Locomotive Association will carry out another overhaul of the locomotive which will enable it to run on the main line again.
In March 2018, whilst hauling its last main line train before the boiler certificate expires, the locomotive suffered a hot big end. Having melted the whitemetal in the big end and adjoining coupling rod bearings took the train into Norwich at a reduced speed with the power being provided by a diesel on the rear.
The overhaul is scheduled to be undertaken during 2019 and will largely concentrate on the boiler as the bottom end has received considerable attention during the previous operating period.
In March 2018 the boiler inspector gave the boiler a clean bill of health during a cold examination. It was anticipated that this would be followed by a fully functional steam test later that month which would enable the boiler certificate to be extended by nine months. This would enable the locomotive to operate until the end of 2018 but only on heritage lines as it requires a full re-tubing before being allowed onto the national network.
The boiler certificate expired at the end of December 2018.
When the locomotive was taken out of service at the end of 2018 plans for its overhaul had not been agreed by the National Railway Museum although they did state that they planned that it continued to operate on the main line.
In January 2019 the National Railway Museum disclosed that the forty year agreement with the 5305 Locomotive Association would not be extended although the locomotive is likely to remain based on the Great Central Railway at Loughborough.
In March 2019 it was reported that the continued operation of the locomotive was in an agreement that was close to being completed by the National Railway Museum with the Great Central Railway. The National Railway Museum also emphasised that they wanted the locomotive to run on the main line.
Also in March 2019 work began at Loughborough to strip the locomotive down although at this stage the National Railway Museum were said to be unaware that work had started on the overhaul.
The overhaul will include a boiler overhaul which will involve a re-tubing in order to recertify the locomotive for preservation and main line running.
In July 2019 it was announced that an agreement had been concluded between the National Railway Museum and the Great Central Railway (GCR). The agreement provided for the locomotive to be based at the GCR until the end of 2021. Under the terms of the agreement the GCR will submit plans to overhaul the locomotive. Once the overhaul has been completed a second loan agreement will be confirmed to cover the operation of the locomotive.
By December 2019 the frames were placed back onto its wheels – just five months after being lifted off.
In November 2021 it was reported that the boiler had been sent to Tyseley for Overhaul in the previous month."

GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The Core Observatory will link data from a constellation of current and planned satellites to produce next-generation global measurements of rainfall and snowfall from space.
On Feb. 11, the Core Observatory was moved into the spacecraft fairing assembly building and into the Encapsulation Hall. Final inspections and preparations were completed for the installation into the fairing, which began on Feb 13. The fairing is the part of the rocket that will contain the spacecraft at the top of the H-IIA rocket.
The encapsulation process for the H-IIA is very different than for most U.S. rockets. For U.S. rockets, the fairing is usually in two pieces that close around the payload like a clamshell. To install the GPM Core Observatory into the fairing of the H-IIA rocket, first the Core Observatory and the Payload Attach Fitting (PAF) are set up in scaffolding in the Encapsulation Hall. Then, the fairing is lifted above and lowered onto the fitting. When only a few feet remain above the final position, stanchions support the fairing while technicians go inside to complete the electrical connections. When this is completed, they remove the stanchions and lower the fairing to its final position, where it is bolted in place.
The GPM mission is the first coordinated international satellite network to provide near real-time observations of rain and snow every three hours anywhere on the globe. The GPM Core Observatory anchors this network by providing observations on all types of precipitation. The observatory's data acts as the measuring stick by which partner observations can be combined into a unified data set. The data will be used by scientists to study climate change, freshwater resources, floods and droughts, and hurricane formation and tracking.

"Berwick's town walls are a sequence of defensive structures built around the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed in England.
Berwick's town walls were built in the early 14th century under Edward I, following his capture of the city from the Scots. When complete they stretched 2 miles (3.2 km) in length and were 3 feet 4 inches thick and up to 22 feet (6.7 m) high, protected by a number of smaller towers, up to 60 feet (18 m) tall. They were funded by a murage grant in 1313, a tax on particular goods imported into the town. By 1405, however, the walls had fallen into considerable disrepair and were incapable of preventing Henry IV from taking the town with relative ease.
Berwick Castle (an earlier structure) lay just outside the medieval wall to the north-west, and was connected to the town by a bridge leading to a gate in the wall.
An additional, short-lived, fort was built in 1552 to supplement the walls. By 1560, however, it was concluded that it was impractical to upgrade the existing walls and a new set of town fortifications in an Italian style were constructed instead, destroying much of the earlier medieval stonework. Sir Richard Lee served as Chief Surveyor for these works; he came up with an innovative design, combining ditches and walls backed by substantial earthworks (designed to absorb the force of an artillery attack). The new walls were much smaller in length, enclosing only two thirds of the medieval area, allowing them to include more artillery emplacements and five large stone bastions. The 16th century walls included four gates. In the 18th century most of the remaining parts of the medieval walls were steadily lost.An additional, short-lived, fort was built in 1552 to supplement the walls.

Today the walls are, in the view of archaeologists Oliver Creighton and Robert Higham, "by some measure the best-preserved example of town defences in Britain designed for post-medieval warfare". They are protected as a scheduled monument and a grade I listed building.
Berwick-upon-Tweed (/ˌbɛrɪk-/; Scots: Sooth Berwick, Scottish Gaelic: Bearaig a Deas) is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast, 2 1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) south of the Scottish border (the hamlet of Marshall Meadows is the actual northernmost settlement). Berwick is approximately 56 mi (90 km) east-south east of Edinburgh, 65 mi (105 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 mi (555 km) north of London.
The 2011 United Kingdom census recorded Berwick's population as 12,043. A civil parish and town council were created in 2008 comprising the communities of Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth.
Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was for more than 400 years central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The last time it changed hands was when Richard of Gloucester retook it for England in 1482. To this day many Berwickers feel a close affinity to Scotland.
Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Georgian Town Hall, its Elizabethan ramparts, and Britain's earliest barracks buildings, which Nicholas Hawksmoor built (1717–21) for the Board of Ordnance." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Final compilation of the "One Sky" images, created from photo quilt blocks of 4 images from the One Sky group project. Oh I would sleep peacefully under such a quilt!
Each set of four images can be found in this set, where there are links directly back to each flickr member who contributed their sky image to the group pool for "One Sky". October 1 is my sister's birthday, so this image is very special to me in a personal way.
