This is a massive development in Saanich, which is home to the Home Depot. This is the old Mall entrance. It use to house a CIBC bank, a restaurant called JJ Morgans, a Save on Foods grocery store, a 4 screen movie theater and The Home Depot.
The story went though a bit of development, when this was take one of the worms was defrosted onboard the Zycon V. As the later story developed this idea was dropped, as was the colourful lighting.
Really could've done with not finding out that Wilkinsons' Christmas LEDs are a perfect fit for LEGO clips. Looks awesome but I don't think I can do it and keep the thing modular for transport.

Eastbourne Pier is a seaside pleasure pier in Eastbourne, East Sussex, on the south coast of England.
History
The proposal for a pier was first mooted at the end of 1863, and highly favoured by the town's major landowner, William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire. It was to have been 1000 feet in length and, at a cost of £12,000, would have been situated at the end of the town's grandest avenue, Devonshire Place. However, the project was delayed and finally abandoned in favour of the present site at the junction of Grand and Marine Parades, thus creating the easterly end of what amounts to a shingle bay. The pier interrupts what would otherwise have been a ribbon development of buildings – to the west, high-class hotels, with modest family hotels and boarding houses to the east.
The Eastbourne Pier Company was registered in April 1865 with a capital of £15,000 and on 18 April 1866 work began. It was opened by Lord Edward Cavendish on 13 June 1870, although it was not actually completed until two years later. On New Year's Day 1877 the landward half was swept away in a storm. It was rebuilt at a higher level, creating a drop towards the end of the pier. The pier is effectively built on stilts that rest in cups on the sea-bed allowing the whole structure to move during rough weather. It is roughly 300 metres (1000 ft) long. A domed 400-seater pavilion was constructed at a cost of £250 at the seaward end in 1888. A 1000-seater theatre, bar, camera obscura and office suite replaced this in 1899/1901. At the same time, two saloons were built midway along the pier. The camera obscura fell into disuse in the 1960s but was restored in 2003 with a new stairway built to provide access.
Paddle steamers (such as the PS Brighton Queen and the PS Devonia) operated by P and A Campbell ran trips from the pier along the south coast and across the Channel to Boulogne[from 1906 until the outbreak of the Second World War. These were resumed after the war, but the paddle steamers were gradually withdrawn from service. In 1957, the final season was operated by a motor vessel.
During the Second World War, part of the decking was removed and machine guns were installed in the theatre providing a useful point from which to repel any attempted enemy landings and a Bofors anti-aircraft gun was sited midway along the length of the pier. In December 1942, an exploding mine caused considerable damage to the pier and nearby hotels; it had been tied to the stanchions by the local police, who were under the mistaken impression that it was fitted with a safety device. In 1943, a detachment of Royal Canadian Engineers fixed camouflage netting over the stanchions to conceal flotillas of small vessels, such as wooden assault landing craft. A George Medal and a British Empire Medal were awarded to two of the engineers who dived into the sea on 3 February 1943 to rescue a comrade who had fallen from a cableway which crossed a 30-foot gap in the structure.
Various traditional pier theatres were built over the years but after the last one was destroyed by fire in 1970, it was replaced by a nightclub and bar which remain to this day. On the landward half of the pier stands a fish and chip kiosk, an amusement arcade and a fast food outlet. Further out, as well as the club there is a cafe, a restaurant, a glassblower, a clothes shop and an ice cream shop. The tower at the end of the pier is often used as a viewing point during the annual air show. For more than a decade, the pier played host to the town's annual Birdman competition, which saw competitors jump into the sea in home-made costumes to see who could 'fly' the furthest.
In May 2009, the listed building status of the pier was upgraded from Grade II to Grade II.
Six Piers Limited placed Eastbourne Pier up for sale in 2009, with an asking price of £5.5 million. The sale price included a tea room, two bars, an amusement arcade and a nightclub.
On 21 October 2015, Abid Gulzar, a local hotelier, bought the pier for an undisclosed price, although it is believed to be less than £5.5 million. The pier was then fully repaired and reopened.
Fire
The pier suffered a fire on 30 July 2014 that ripped through a large amount of the central domed building. Sussex Police initially said that the fire was not to be treated suspiciously, though later the police said arson was suspected.
East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service deployed up to 80 officers to tackle the blaze, which allegedly started in wood panelling in the walls of the games arcade. After fighting the fire through the night, fire officers eliminated the main hotspots and saved two-thirds of the pier with the main arcade being the only large building affected. The outer pavilion was not reached by the fire, which came just two weeks before Eastbourne's largest tourist event on the seafront, the airshow Airbourne.
A few days after the airshow, a workman on the pier fell through the destroyed part and died hours later.
In popular culture
The pier appears in the Agatha Christie's Poirot episode "Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan" (although ostensibly, the story is located in Brighton) and in "Curtain: Poirot's Last Case". It was also featured in the 2001 film Last Orders and the 2008 film Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. The 2010 film Brighton Rock used Eastbourne Pier to stand in for Brighton's Palace Pier.
Eastbourne Town FC supporters club "Pier Pressure" are named in homage to the pier.

This B Series Leyland National was new as a Leyland development vehicle in 1978 and remained unregistered for over a year, it never leaving the confines of the Lillyhall factory.
It passed to Ribble once Leyland had finished with it and became their 686 and as it had never ventured on a public highway it gained a 'V' suffix registration.
The bus is seen here leaving Leigh bus station in 1990 bound for its home base of Bolton.

heuer microsplit LED / LCD 1/100-stopwatch development (from left): ref. HL 820 (1973) - ref. 520 (1974, this one is a ref. 530) - ref. 320 (1975) - ref. 370 (1976).
the development can see as a revolution. the size is always getting smaller, also the batterys (from 4 x AAA to 2 x LR1130 - some specials-models with accus)
> the first microsplit was designed inhouse, the other ones by richard sapper.
> the first two models are with split- and taylor-function, the following models only with split-function.
from the ref. 820 you get ref. 802 with 1/10 s. from the ref. 520 there are also models with 1/100 min. or 1/100 h. the ref. 320 has a following model in plastic (also without split-function), who endet up as a solar-model (also to TAGheuer) in diverse colours. the ref. 370 you can have with silver body und black strap.
I've been searching the last two years a way to turn digital raw into pastel like Fujifilm 400H Pro colors.
I've failed a million times and thought that it's impossible since film reacts to light differently each time vs. digital sensor.
I've come close, but the results vary between lighting situations from bad to excellent. But now I've really cracked something cool.
This particular preset + method editing 8bit jpg (now raw) has been revolutionary discovery. I've gotten excellent results every time and the pictures are always blooming with bright pastel like colors.
I'm about to write this to my blog and release this updated 400H preset in the next few days.

1991 Ford GT40 coupé réplique par GT Developments
Châssis n° 100E321274
Moteur n° 321274
'Une GT40 authentique est hors de prix, mais il existe une alternative tout aussi charismatique, la GTD40. Les deux sont impossible à différencier à moins de cinq pas, encore moins à cinquante, tant la réplique GTD est fidèle, même aux yeux des plus avertis. Ce n'est pas une voiture en kit, mais un pur sang dans tous les sens du terme.' Autosport, 1989.
Dix ans après sa victoire au Mans, la GT40 était déjà considérée comme l'une des plus grandes classiques de tous les temps, générant une demande accrue pour les vraies voitures authentiques et donnant naissance à toute une industrie de répliques. Avec à peine 107 GT40 construites par Ford Advanced Vehicle à l'usine de Slough entre 1966 et 1972, il n'est pas surprenant qu'une industrie d'arrière-cour par de petits constructeurs indépendants ait prospérée pour satisfaire une demande croissante pour des répliques de la charismatique Ford victorieuse au Mans.
D'abord installé à Manchester puis à Poole dans le Dorset, GT Developments se révéla rapidement comme l'un des constructeurs majeurs de fidèles répliques de la GT40. GTD avait commencé au début des années 1980 en construisant des sous-ensembles pour les répliques de GT40 de KVA, la société de Kenneth Vincent Attwell, avant de fabriquer des voitures complètes. Ken Attwell avait été directeur de production à l'usine Ford de Swansea et avait pris des empreintes du moule de la voiture originale qu'il avait eu ensuite l'autorisation d'utiliser pour construire des répliques. Sous l'impulsion de Ray Christopher, un des directeurs de la société, GT Developments s'était plus tard lancé dans la construction de sa propre version. C'est ce lien avec la voiture originale, via KVA, qui rend la GTD supérieure à ses rivales, en plus du fait que Ray a passé un accord avec Bob Lutz, alors à la tête de Ford Europe, pour la fourniture de pièces originales.
Construite par les experts reconnus de GT Developments, cette fidèle réplique de la légendaire Ford victorieuse au Mans a été acquise au Royaume-Uni en février 2009 et immédiatement immatriculée par la FFVE. Basée sur le modèle Mk I, elle s'enorgueillit de caractéristiques améliorées qui la rendent aussi à l'aise sur route ou sur circuit. Parmi ses spécificités remarquables, une suspension ajustable à l'avant et à l'arrière, des amortisseurs réglables AVO (route/circuit), des étriers à 4 pistons HiSpec, des disques AP Racing ventilés aux quatre roues et des jantes alliage BRM (8 pouces à l'avant, 10 pouces à l'arrière) chaussées de pneus Avon. Les suspensions, freins, radiateur, pneus, échappement, etc ont coûté 16.700 â¬.
Monté en 2012, le moteur (17.850 â¬) est un Ford Boss 347 ci (5,7 litres) de compétition équipé d'une culasse en aluminium, de carburateurs compétition, d'un allumage électronique Mallory et d'un échappement céramique. Un vrai moteur de compétition avec un bloc à quatre goujons qui développe 430 ch mais peut grimper à 550 avec une préparation. Montée en même temps que le moteur, la boîte est une SADEV séquentielle à six rapports. La carrosserie a été repeinte il y a un an, tandis que les fenêtres latérales en Lexan ont été remplacées et l'intérieur regarni avec des matériaux conformes à l'origine. Tous ce travaux ont été effectués par des professionnels et toutes les factures sont fournies. Le coût total (y compris le prix d'achat) dépasse les 138.000 â¬.
La voiture est vendue avec son manuel indiquant la procédure de démarrage et les recommandations, un test au banc (enregistré en 2011) des essais de boîte sur les six rapports, la brochure de GT Developments, un rapport d'expert (indiquant une valeur de 120.000 â¬) et un dossier conséquent de restauration contenant des photos de la restauration.
Cette voiture est éligible pour des démonstrations lors de manifestations historiques comme Spa Classics, les Dix mille tours du Castellet, Le Mans Historique, etc et peut réaliser des temps au tour comparables à ceux de la GT40 originale. Cette superbe réplique de GT 40 peut être acquise pour une fraction du prix de la vraie et est vendue avec une carte grise française de collection et son contrôle technique valable jusqu'en 2017.
