Considering the age of the building, that it is out of service and the destruction during the last Intifadas, the station is in a relatively good condition. Note the broken roof....
The old station is a side-line of the Afula - Beer Sheva line, starting in Messoudije to Nablus and back. The extension of the railway to Nablus was built in 1911–12. The construction work for the station building was started relatively late in end of 1917 and were unfinished when the Allied troops conquered Nablus. What makes the station somehow unique is that its architecture was different to standard Ottoman Hedjaz-/Palestinerailway-style.
The British finished the station and a train run once a week from Haifa to Nablus via Afula. The railway was destroyed during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and never rebuilt.

Information:
Victor Emanuel Lindstrand, known as Vicke Lindstrand (born 27 November 1904 in Gothenburg, died 7 May 1983 in Kosta) was a Swedish glass designer, textile and ceramic designer, and painter. He is considered a pioneer of Swedish glass art.
As a child, Lindstrand was interested in drawing. He had studied commercial art and worked in commercial illustration before beginning his career at the glass manufacturer Orrefors in 1928. In 1950 he joined Kosta Glasbruk as an artistic director before his retirement in 1973. At Kosta, he was the dominant designer, lending his name to many now classic designs. At this point, Lindstrand began to inject more and more colour into his creations, which resulted in iconic designs such as Trees in the Fog and Autumn.[1] He spent the last 10 years of his life as a freelance artist working with Hanne Dreutler and Arthur Zirrnsack at Studio Glashyttan in Åhus.
He made his debut as a designer at the Stockholm World Fair in 1930, where he presented twelve glass vases with enamel decor in exotic patterns. For this he received great attention from international design publications. Lindstrand added new artistic dimensions to the already famous Orrefors glass with his unique designs and revitalization of classic forms and techniques. During his time at Orrefors he worked on engraved glass and Graal vases. With sculptor Edvin Öhrström he developed the new Ariel technique (named by his actress wife Kristina). Orrefors could not afford to keep Lindstrand during the war and between 1943 and 1950 he became creative leader at Uppsala Ekeby, where he designed many different stoneware objects ranging from pots to figural sculptures.
Vicke Lindstrand
Worked at Kosta from 1950-1973. As mentioned before, with the arrival of Lindstrand at Kosta, a more uniform way of signing glass was introduced. Pieces designed by Lindstrand are signed in the following way:
LH – Items produced by the glassworks in large quantities, starting with the model number 1001. There are however some unique items with this signature. These have the letter “U” added to the signature.
LU – Unique items by Lindstrand, starting with the number 2001.
LC – “Colora” pieces, starting with the number 1.
LF – Bird figurines starting with the number 1.
LG – Engraved glass, starting with the number 101.
LS – Cut glass, starting with the number 501.
Since about 1950 mass produced pieces are signed with the square-shaped acid stamp “Lindstrand Kosta”

"Narcolepsy is a sleep condition which is thought to either be a neurological or auto-immune disease. In people with Narcolepsy, they are missing Hypocretin, the chemical in your brain that controls wakefulness and the cognitive ability to go through all of the sleep cycles. Having Narcolepsy essentially guarantees excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep attacks, insomnia, and for some of us, cataplexy. Cataplexy happens to me when I laugh too hard; my knees give out and I fall to the ground. Excessive daytime sleepiness is the symptom I struggle with the most. I have to take Nuvigil in the morning, it helps me to stay awake throughout the day and prevents sleep attacks. Although it doesn’t prevent sleepiness one hundred percent, it allows me to be more cognitively aware and I have to take less naps. When that is not enough, which it usually isn’t on an intensive school day, I can take Adderall throughout the day as well. My most important medication is Xyrem. Xyrem is an extremely potent sleep medication. It was a game changer for my treatment. It is a liquid I take at bedtime that makes me drowsy within twenty minutes, and then I wake up in the middle of the night to take a second dose. With Xyrem, you can essentially control your hours of sleep, and when it wears off in the morning, it was the reverse effect; it actually helps you wake up. These medications affect me in a way that allows me to function in the way “normal” people do. Basically, I can be awake during the day and sleep at night, which if I wasn’t medicated, I wouldn’t be able to do. I’d be considered nocturnal without medication. Narcolepsy has affected my everyday life by making it extremely difficult to get out of bed, difficult to do well in school, difficult to show emotion, and most of all difficult to be understood. Because of having Narcolepsy, I have struggled to have the social life most high school and college kids have. I have struggled to trust that people will look past my condition and want to befriend me even though a lot of times I have to cancel plans because I’m too tired. I have struggled to deal with all of the extra symptoms that come along with the disease. These extra symptoms include, but aren’t limited to: depression, anxiety, feeling hopeless and alone, feeling completely misunderstood, and being treated like you’re lazy. Usually I don’t tell people I have Narcolepsy. I’m pretty good at managing my symptoms. When people become closer to me and they start realizing that I’m “different,” then either people feel extremely bad for me and want to do anything they can, or people think I have no personality and that I’m uninteresting, boring, lazy, or lying to get sympathy. Narcolepsy doesn’t necessarily make me who I am, but it definitely affects my ability to be who I can and want to be. The difference from high school and now is that I don’t let the disability stop me from reaching my goals, and I certainly don’t let people speak poorly of me. If people do speak poorly of me or my abilities, I will stand up for myself and I will no longer let their words come between me and what I wish to obtain. I can accomplish anything now due to the struggles of having Narcolepsy. Thankfully, I am able to carry that mentality into just about anything I do now. That’s how Narcolepsy has helped make me who I am. The only time I am embarrassed about having Narcolepsy is when people tell me I am lazy, and I am genuinely afraid to explain that there is a reason. Nowadays, less people call me lazy though, because there is more and more proof coming from me that I am not lazy at all. Its also a little embarrassing when people make fun of me for having no personality. Those who know me well know that I do have a personality; they also know that I am exhausted when I don’t show much of my personality, which is a lot of the time and I cannot control how often or severe it is. I think society has painted the picture that everyone needs to push their bodies to their limit. We all seem to think that every waking moment must be spent cognitively aware and functioning. Most people have a picture of Narcolepsy that is an old person nodding off while they’re watching TV, but some Narcoleptics are diagnosed before they are even five years old. I can’t wait for the day that society will get it out of their head that everyone has to function the same way. When that day comes, I will be able to come off all medication and let my body be the way it intends: asleep during the day and awake at night. If that day never comes, it would at least be nice for there to be a drug that actually cures Narcolepsy. Most people believe it is a mental illness that should be treated with counseling and that it is hormonal, and one day we’ll just grow out of it, that’s not the way it works. Narcolepsy is the same as having Type 1 diabetes, or any other condition that is due to the absence of something in your body that cannot ever naturally be replaced, only treated. I often get the question, “Well, have you tried turning off your television before bed, drinking coffee, taking melatonin, taking Benadryl, Nyquil, Tylenol PM?” Society just won’t accept that this condition is much more serious. It is the absence of a chemical from your brain, not an inability to clear your mind before bedtime or being too weak to stay awake during the day. It is so important for people to just be who they are because if you pretend you are something you’re not, or you ignore your own health, it will lead you down a miserable road where every moment is spent in regret and attempts to explain yourself. No one should have to explain themselves; acceptance should be as easy as breathing. The most important thing at the end of the day is yourself, you’re all you really have. So there is no greater importance than being one hundred percent you, even if you do struggle to fit societies’ standards. Who is society to judge who you are or what you’re capable of anyway? Even though I have this disease, I am capable of anything anyone else is."

I tried my hand at a DIY Air Conditioner today with nearly all the parts on hand. Only spent out of today's dollars $3.19 for tubing and $1.51 for a brass connector between the tubing and the pond pump. I lowered the temp in the home computer room to 86.0(F) from 89.8(F) in about 30 min. - Uploaded with a demo version of FlickrExport 2.

WM167 (G-LOSM) Armstrong Whitworth (Gloster) Meteor NF.11 owned and operated by Aviation Heritage Ltd.
Classic Air Force’s Gloster Meteor NF.11 is the only surviving Night Fighter Meteor left in airworthy condition and was one of the first privately owned jet fighters to operate in the UK.
WM167 was built under licence from Gloster by the Armstrong Whitworth Company at Baginton (Coventry) airport in 1952. It entered service with the RAF’s 228 Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) at RAF Leeming, Yorkshire in August but after just a month she was passed to 33MU at RAF Colerne in Wiltshire for storage.
The aircraft returned to 228 OCU the following year and remained on charge with the unit until 1960 when she headed south to 33MU at Colerne yet again. Her stay was brief yet again as she was returned to Armstrong Whitworth in January 1961 for modification to TT.20 target towing configuration. Upon completed WM167 was allocated to the Aeroplane and Armaments Experimental Establishment at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire where she was used for target towing trials.
By now WM167 still only had 559 hours ‘on the clock’ and a quiet year at Boscombe Down only added another 20 hours to the logbooks. At the end of the trials exercise WM167 headed back to 33MU at Colerne yet again before being delivered to Flight Refuelling Ltd. The aircraft spent the next ten years towing targets under an MoD contract at both Tarrant Rushton in Dorset and Llanbedr in North Wales.
The aircraft was declared surplus in 1975 and purchased by well-known ‘warbird’ collector Doug Arnold for his Warbirds of Great Britain (WoGB) collection, which at that time was based at Blackbushe. She was ferried to Blackbushe on December 1, 1975 by the late-Neil Williams and converted back into NF.11 Night Fighter configuration before entering storage.
When the Arnold family sold Blackbushe in 1984 the WoGB collection needed to be moved and the simplest way to move WM167 was by air. By now a sale had been sale had been negotiated with Mike Carlton’s ‘Hunter One’ collection at Bournemouth (Hurn) Airport and the aircraft was registered to Carlton’s Brencham Group on June 8, 1984. The highly appropriate G-LOSM (GLOSter Meteor) was allocated to the aeroplane and it was ferried to Hurn a month later on July 6.
The aircraft operated successfully until Mike Carlton was killed in a flying accident whilst on holiday in Zimbabwe in August 1986. The Meteor, along with other jets belonging to Hunter One, was auctioned off by Christies on October 1, 1987 and remained at Hurn as part of LGH Aviation, which traded as Jet Heritage Ltd. The company later became Hunter Wing Ltd and Bournemouth Aviation Museum but G-LOSM was acquired by Air Atlantique in March 2004.
Over the years G-LOSM has featured in a variety of documentaries and has taken part in a number of important flights – including carrying the ashes of jet-engine designer Sir Frank Whittle. Today the aircraft remains airworthy at Coventry and is painted in a camouflage scheme typical of the Night Fighting Meteors of its day. It carries no squadron markings at present but depicted 141 Sqn for many years during the 1980s and 90s.
G-LOSM flies not only as a tribute the early jet pilots but also to those preservation pioneers who led the way in civilian jet fighter operations during the early 1980s.
