When I was dogsitting last week at the parents house I decided to bring some of my stuff back up with me (not that I have room for it). This is my favorite radio controlled vehicle, the Traxxas Rustler. It is over 10 years old now, but still screams. Bought a few new 1800 mAh batteries, threw them on the peak charger, and hit the street. Unfortunately after six years of sitting in my parents basement a few screws came lose and I broke a universal joint.. not to worry, should be back up and running in no time. Such a fun hobby. I wonder if our apartment would let me use my boats in the pool?
Opened: 1965
Original owner: Toprank
Current Owner: Moto
Location: M6 J32/33
Then:
Opened as Forton, now known as Lancaster (Forton)
Trivia:
Very distinctive from the road- features a round tower that resembles a Air Traffic Control Tower, which originally was a restaurant, currently in use as offices. The tower is called The Pennine Tower.
An employee of Forton said that the Pennine Tower closed after complaints that it looked like an UFO when lit up at night and was distracting- (Sounds like an urban myth, but its a great tale, It is more likely that the services became too busy to handle the number of visitors- can anyone shed any light on this). Also we are curious to know when it closed?
Update: Eddy Rhead writes: "The tower is closed for that modern malaise Health and Safety! Apparently you need two alternative exits in case of a fire and with just one lift and one staircase coupled with a kitchen the risk is just too high."
We should have guessed it would be health and safety....
Eddy adds: " I have always said that come the end of the world and the human race has to start again, the early travellers will come across Forton tower in the middle of Lancashire and wonder at its meaning - in Planet of the Apes type thingy. Probably! "

MJE JP5 controls except that the winch and bin lifter controls are set up abit diffrent to the standard JP5s which have the winch controlled by a leaver next to manual pack. Took abit of getting used to this set up as the bin lifter handle on the right wouldn’t sit at neutral properly so you’d be driving down the road and the lifter would start raising by itself.
These controls bring back fond memories of flights on Northwest to Hong Kong in the early 80s.
Unplugging my headphones at the end of the flight caused the entire control panel to pull off, but I quickly just shoved it back into place.

this sweet mom and her three kittens were marked for euthanasia at hamilton animal control. the kittens were born in the shelter on june 7th, 2010. i brought them home on june 9th. the smallest kitten was already showing signs of being unhealthy, and 12 or so hours after bringing them home, i found him/her dead in their kitty bed. the other two are doing well so far. tink is a wonderful mom.
they'll be here until the babies are old enough to go to new homes, and i'll have mom spayed and find her a home too.
the babies are a very unusual colour. i'm curious to see what their coats look like as they get bigger.
if you have some extra room and some extra time...please consider fostering for your local animal shelter. it's very rewarding for you, and the animal you are helping.
and please, please, please (!) have your pets spayed or neutered. thousands of animals just like this kitty family are put to sleep every year because of lack of space in shelters and lack of adoptive homes. these kittens would have been put to sleep at the tender age of five days old and their mother would be dead because her irresponsible owner: 1. let her outside 2. didn't come looking for her when she went missing and 3. didn't have her spayed.
euthanasia in overcrowded shelters is a sad reality. but we created it, and we have to take the steps to change it.

Control-room, announcer's room and talks studio. In 1980 a fire started in one of the studios after something was left on one of the heaters. The entire top floor of offices and studios were demolished and refurbished.

1954 MG TF Roadster
Chassis No. HDC 46/3295
Specs: 57.5 bhp, 1,250 cc overhead valve inline four-cylinder engine, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension with control arms and coil springs, rigid rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 94"
Few cars have enjoyed the popularity or had such a strong influence on sports car ownership and amateur racing as the MG. Starting from the TA in 1936, the MG T-Series opened a whole new world of affordable enjoyment for auto enthusiasts.
The TF, unveiled in late 1953, represented a major evolutionary step for MG with its repositioned headlamps, new bonnet design, sloping hood line and raked radiator.
Today, the MG TF has proven to be the most desirable of the T-Series cars as it marked the end of the series. MG aficionados hold the TD in very high regard, as they believe it represents the final evolution of MG’s iconic and classic design.
This Car: The TF offered here makes an excellent candidate as an open-air weekend cruiser. Although the restoration is older, the car has been garaged for the majority of its life and presents beautifully.
Bumper guards, parking lights, dual chrome-plated mirrors, driving lamps, wing wings, and chrome wire wheels with knock-offs complement the lines of this handsome automobile.
Well maintained and preserved, the inviting cockpit is trimmed in tan upholstery throughout. A full set of side curtains and full-cab tonneau cover accompany the car.
Under the bonnet, the four-cylinder XPAG engine is sorted and runs strong. This handsome roadster truly embodies the essence of MG!
* Desirable British roadster!
* Well restored, and mechanically strong!
* A fantastic driver, very reliable!

The poster illustrates a controversial issue in the US, gun control in schools.
This controversy started when the current head of state announced that he is considering a proposal to provide firearms to teachers as a measure to prevent school shootings.
Measures to prevent armed violence in schools should focus on educating children and parents about the dangers of firearms and the importance of safe storage, rather than arming teachers, as in some schools.
There is no credible statistical evidence to suggest that students with weapons, particularly concealed pistols, reduce violence in colleges. Rather, the evidence suggests that permitted firearms often increase crime and put students at risk. Allowing guns in colleges would likely lead to more homicides and suicides on campus.
