Yesterday William Floyd decided to cut ties with East End Bus Lines, Inc and signed a new contract with Acme Bus Corp
TK-Hotsauce: "So, if I finish the Jedi saga, I get a Handsome Reward??"
Yes, I proposed to TK-Hotsauce an offer he couldn't refuse. He agreed to finish out the Jedi saga with TC-Jedi, TC-Gangsta, and TC-Shocktrooper, Darth Vader, and the rest of the gang... However, he did make an alteration to the contract as he wants some creative control. He insisted that if he continues with the storyline, his lightsaber would be orange, he would get to be the one to defeat Sideous, and that his handsome reward be of the "spicy" variety.
I agreed to those terms.
Sarah and I just finished watching a Disney Vacation Club webcast (no, we aren't adding on, we just wanted the free lithograph they mail you if you watch it), and I have to say that while I love the experience of being DVC Owners, I think the marketing is becoming more and more disingenuous (possibly a byproduct of the poor economy--Disney can no longer retain its passivity compared to other pushy Timeshare sales practices? I don't know).
The things that I really found obnoxious were the supposed testimonies by current owners at the end. One, from a purported accountant, stated that after crunching the numbers, he determined DVC ownership was a financially savvy investment (not his exact words). Unless you are terrible at making investments, this is not the case. It's especially not the case if you purchase directly from Disney. The second testimonial was from a family claiming that, besides their house, their DVC ownership was their only asset that had appreciated in value. Unless they're living in some bizarro world, Timeshares do not appreciate in value; they are a diminishing asset. I know these comments are supposedly made by customers, but Disney is holding them out as true by including them in the webcast, and to me, they cross the line from mere puffery to a misrepresentation. I could easily see customers who fail to do their homework relying on statements such as those to make their purchase.
Obviously I understand that Disney wants to sell these units, and it has chosen to adopt a more aggressive strategy than in days past, but I still don't think it's necessary to be deceiving in the process. I certainly don't fault Disney for saying it's a "great incentive" to give me a 7-night cruise for four if I add on 200 points at $112/point, when I know I can head to the resale market and find a 200 point contract for $65/point, a difference of $9,400, which is far more than the cost of a 7-night cruise for 4... ;-P
On a visit to Contract Coaches, Nottingham to see the SELNEC groups interest 4501 SND 501X, we found they had 4 ex GM Standards. The 3 steel framers were of various ages and atleast one was at Bolton Depot during GM buses days as the depot roundal could still be traced in the first pasenger window!
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the third full week of July, 2016.
We took a trip down to the Harbour area, just to acquaint ourselves with the works here. This is a section of the flood protection scheme that I have pretty much ignored -- it's inconvenient for me to access, and others cover it much better.
Moving upriver slightly, to a newly constructed walkway, close to Seapoint Court. Nice work done by the guys from Wills Bros Ltd.
However the cynic in me wonders how long it will be before the local druggies shift locations. Although, perhaps it's a wee bit too exposed for them?
In the foreground is the Railway bridge, and in the distance we can see some construction works taking place on the Ravenswell Road, temporarily closed due to on-going works.
That is the site of the old Bray Golf Club -- hotly contested as a (potentially) poorly considered site for a shopping centre development complex, and still an area of ground that has to act as a flood plain in the event of tidal surges.
Drain tunnel access port. With 'remote controlled' robot to allow easy-visibility into the tunnel/channel.
====================
"The main work items on the project consisted of the construction of a reinforced earth embankment with 11m long "cut-off Sheet pile wall" within this embankment and a 90m long Sheet Piled Retaining wall (15m long sheet piles) which were anchored for stability using 16.0m long anchors inclined at a various angles. This Sheet Piled Retaining wall was then clad with Granite Randon Rubble stone and resulted in an impressive 5.0m high stone wall along the river. A reinforced concrete flood defence wall complete with stone cladding was also constructed as well as erosion protection measures including underpinning and rock armour installation within the river during low tides. The scheme was completed with the construction of a footpath complete with railings and street lighting along the entire length."

The construction of the monastery began on 6 January 1501, and was completed 100 years later. Diogo de Boitaca, the architect who pioneered the Manueline style in the Monastery of Jesus in Setúbal, was responsible for drawing the plans and contracting work on the monastery, the sacristy, and the refectory. King Manuel originally funded the project with money obtained from the Vintena da Pimenta, a 5 percent tax on commerce from Africa and the Orient, equivalent to 70 kilograms (154 lbs.) of gold per year, with the exception of those taxes collected on the importation of pepper, cinnamon and cloves, which went directly to the Crown. With the influx of such riches, the architects were not limited to small-scale plans, and resources already ordained for the Monastery of Batalha, including the Aviz pantheon, were redirected to the project in Belém.
The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Jeronimos Monastery) is a former monastery of the Order of Saint Jerome near the Tagus River in the parish of Belém, in the Lisbon Municipality, Portugal. It became the necropolis of the Portuguese royal dynasty of Aviz in the 16th century but was secularized on 28 December 1833 by state decree and its ownership transferred to the charitable institution, Real Casa Pia de Lisboa. The Jerónimos Monastery is one of the most prominent examples of the late Portuguese Gothic Manueline style of architecture in Lisbon. It was erected in the early 1500s near the launch point of Vasco da Gama's first journey, and its construction funded by a tax on the profits of the yearly Portuguese India Armadas. In 1880, da Gama's remains and those of the poet Luís de Camões (who celebrated da Gama's first voyage in his 1572 epic poem The Lusiad), were moved to new carved tombs in the nave of the monastery's church, only a few meters away from the tombs of the kings Manuel I and John III, whom da Gama had served. In 1983, the Jerónimos Monastery was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém.

Murchison House 1971-77 by public sector architects Michael John Mannings and Allan Pendreigh (originally for H M Office of Works known later as the Ministry of Works, Department of the Environment and Property Services Agency).
The completed building featured in The Architects Journal illustrated by 14 images including a plan (Apr 27, 1977, pp 762-764). According to this source, ‘the geometry of the design livens up the elevations’ and has ‘functional justification’ as the building featured brick silos to house rock and fossil samples. Apparently it was a planning requirement that street-level access minimise intrusion and this required a two-metre excavation. The plan was symmetrically arranged with balancing wings enclosing a courtyard. This cruciform or extended H plan can be seen clearly in an aerial shot taken in 2009 (north west corner of the King’s Buildings): canmore.org.uk/collection/1148722
Murchison House is named after Sir Roderick Murchison (1792-1871) who was appointed director general of the Geological Survey of Great Britain in 1855. He endowed a chair of geology and mineralogy at the University of Edinburgh. canmore.org.uk/site/181043/edinburgh-west-mains-road-king...
According to Birse’s history of Science at the University of Edinburgh (1994) the turf was cut for Murchison House in 1971 on a site at the King’s Buildings leased from the University of Edinburgh and the ceremony marked the centenary of the Department of Geology at Edinburgh. The first professor of Geology, Archibald Geikie, was also director general of the Geological Survey – a link severed when his brother James Geikie became the second professor of geology in 1882.
Murchison House was the home of the Institute for Geological Survey and headquarters of the British Geological Society (BGS) for over 40 years. During this time it was home to the BGS Global Seismology Unit, which studied earthquake activity, and the UK National Centre for monitoring compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
In February 2016 the BGS relocated to The Lyell Centre, a purpose built site on the Heriot-Watt University campus at Riccarton. www.bgs.ac.uk/contacts/sites/edinburgh/home.html
The University of Edinburgh, from whom the site was leased, put out to public tender the appointment of a Design Team for an office fit out at Murchison House in January 2016. Reiach & Hall Architects are taking the lead on refurbishment "by rejigging floorplace to provide improved office and teaching accommodation" (2017). www.urbanrealm.com/news/6575/University_of_Edinburgh_to_r...
Kier Construction Scotland has been awarded a £7.7 million contract to carry out the transformation. Work began in mid-December 2017 and is to be complete for September 2018. The fit-out and refurbishment will create an open-plan teaching hub with study spaces, lecture theatres, exhibition spaces, Edinburgh Innovations spaces and a range of offices. www.scottishconstructionnow.com/23402/kier-wins-7-7m-cont...
The building has an internal area of 10150 m2.

I photographed some of my lawn contracts the last couple of days. I'm pretty happy with how nice my lawns are looking. I am also still learning the settings on my camera so not all the photos took as well as I would have liked but all things in time. :D

Precioso ! y bastante raro se ve uno de estos 4x2 tirando por Copec, es de los pocos que se ven y ojo que también andan algunos MP III con esta configuración... sale de lo común a mi gusto... por cierto, esta empresa hace años que tiene contracto con Copec y es conocida por usar varios Man en su flota... en general Europeos mas que Americanos para esta labor.

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29A 92 (cn 2960526392/3907) Polish Air Force (Siły Powietrzne, literally "Air Forces”), 41.elt (41st squadron) based at Malbork 22.BLT (22nd Tactical Air Base or 22. Baza Lotnicza), taxiing out. (pic 0329).
The MiG-29 in the Polish Air Force
The first 12 MiG-29 (nine MiG-29As, three MiG-29UB) were delivered to Poland in 1989–1990. In 1995–1996, 10 used examples were acquired from the Czech Republic (nine MiG-29As, one MiG-29UB). Of the 22 MiG-29s Poland received from the German Air Force in 2004, a total of 14 of these were overhauled and taken into service. Currently (end of 2015) the Polish Air Force has 32 MiG-29s in its inventory. In 2011 the Polish Air Force awarded a contract to the WZL 2 company to modernise its MiG-29 fleet to be compatible with Polish F-16s.
This MiG-29 is one of the MiG-29s acquired from the Czech Republic.
