My Mum bought these boots in Keswick in the Lake District several years ago now. She only paid £10 for them, as they are a mis-matched pair... Can you spot the differences?!
Apparently the shop sold the other "pair" without realising they didn't match...would love to know who my Mum's "boot-buddy" is!
ONCE AGAIN it was 108 today and i was in sticky leggings and barefoot....
lets just say i was covered in dust, ants, and sweat by the end of this shoot
Cassie Nova, the Nova's good clone in DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires2018
I notice as I was looking through my characters photos, my MC(Main Character): William, his CG (Covergirl) wife: Wilma Sue and his MA (Main Antagonist): Victor all have a copy of themselves except for BCG ("Bad" CoverGirl) Nova who did not have one.
I decided to alter my character list and create Cassie Nova.
Her story,
Cassie Nova is the results of a fail attempt by Nova to have a "back-up" baby from Victor when she was a teen. The attempt fail creating a nonfunctioning embryo.
Royce, the father of my MA, when correcting Nova's body before her second battle with Victor's fiancée, created the baby clone of Nova from the dysfunctional embryo(A body replacement in case she failed to win).
Note: Royce's powers are equivalent to Marvel Comic's "Cosmic Cube" at the cost of losing much of his life force. EVERY time he exerts the power it shortens his life span.
When Nova left Earth, Nova's parents raised the baby after they were granted custody of the embryo.
Nova would later travel back in time, WITH PERMISSION, to visit her parents. When Nova learned of the teenage Cassie, Cassie was kidnapped by Nova from her "parents".
Failing to convert Cassie to join her "sister" and not having the heart to kill "herself", Nova gives Cassie to my MC's forces because Cassie was missing and NEVER found in the 24th Century(She cannot be returned to that timeline).
Cassie's first name comes from a maternal second cousin who paid for the original Nova's schooling.
Both are Medium Violet color bricks.
But these seem to like different colors.
Very fine color unevenness....
That wasn't me being sarcastic. I really had a crush on our driver on one field trip! Also amusing. The boy in front of me writing the actual words "Naughty Words" on my notebook to flirt with me rather than writing actual naughty words.

Percent difference calculator equals the absolute value of the change in value, divided by the average of the 2 numbers, all multiplied by 100. We then append the percent sign, %.Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value. The figures are arrived at by comparing the initial (or before) and final (or after) quantities according to a specific formula. It is assumed that both the initial and the final quantities are positive (larger than 0).

We made our annual trip to London in November. We travel down by coach from Slaithwaite and stay at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch. It’s actually a weekend ladies shopping trip that is run as a fundraiser for Slaithwaite Brass Band – I’m the only bloke that goes every year! We decided ( the two of us) to stay down in London until Thursday this time as we wanted to see weekday London and be able to explore a bit further afield on foot. We covered up to 16 miles a day, which is tough going on crowded pavements with hundreds of busy roads to cross. I photographed anything that looked interesting but I bent a contact in the CF card slot, fortunately I had quite a few SD cards with me and the 5D has dual slots so I was able to carry on using it. It’s currently at Lehmann’s getting fixed.
With it being close to Christmas the decorations are up everywhere so there was plenty of colour at night. In Hyde Park the Winter Wonderland was in full swing, we’ve never bothered going to it before but I went twice at night this time. It is massive this year, I couldn’t get over how big it is and the quality of some of the attractions. The cost and effort involved must be phenomenal – it was quite expensive though. It was very difficult to photograph, with extremes of light (LED’s) and darkness and fast moving rides into the bargain. I think I have some decent usable stuff but at the time of writing I am only part way through the editing process so I don’t know for sure.
We set off at around 8.15 am every day and stayed out for at least 12 hours. The weather was poor for a day and a half with drizzle and very dull grey conditions, fortunately we had some pleasant weather (and light) along the way as well. Being based at the end of Oxford Street – Europe’s busiest shopping street – meant that I did quite a bit of night shooting on there. Although I carried a tripod everywhere I only used it once and that was during the day! Because there is always a moving element in almost every shot it seemed pointless using a tripod. I would have got some shots free of movement – or I could have gone for ultra-long exposures to eliminate people and traffic but it would have been problematic I felt. In the end I wound the ISO up and hand held – fingers crossed.
We walked out to Camden Market and Locks but it had been raining and we were a bit early as many were only just setting up for the day. We tried to follow routes that we hadn’t used before and visit new places. We paid a fortune to get in St Pauls but you can’t use cameras. This something that I fail to see the point of, ban flash if you want but if you are going to encourage tourism why ban cameras when there is nothing in particular happening in there. It’s a rule that seems to be applied arbitrarily in cities around the world. Fortunately we could take photos from the outside of the dome, which was real reason for visiting, and we had some great light. Expensive compared with a couple of euros in some famous cathedrals. I’ve wanted to walk to Canary Wharf for a number of years and this year we did. We crisscrossed the Thames a few times and tried to follow the Thames path at other times. We covered around ten miles but it was an interesting day. It was also very quiet for the last four or five miles. We got there about 12.00 and managed to get a sandwich in a café in the shopping centre at the foot of the high rise office blocks before tens of thousands of office workers descended from above. It was mayhem, packed, with snaking queues for anywhere that sold food. We crossed to the other side of The Isle of Dogs and looked across to the O2 Arena and the cable car, unfortunately there isn’t a way across for pedestrians and it was around 3.00 pm. With darkness falling at around 4.30 we decide it was too late to bother. We made our way back to the Thames Clipper pier to check the sailing times. They sail every twenty minutes so we had a couple of glasses of wine and a rest before catching the Clipper. Sailing on the Thames was a first in 15 trips to London. The Clipper is fast and smooth, the lights had come on in the city and there was a fantastic moon rise. It was nigh on impossible to get good shots at the speed we were traveling though and there were times that I wished I could be suspended motionless above the boat. Again, hopefully I will have some usable shots.
We felt that the shopping streets were a little quieter, following the Paris massacre it was to be expected, I might be wrong as we were out and about at later times than previous trips. I think I have heard that footfall is down though. It was good to get into some of the quieter backstreets and conversely to be stuck in the city business district – The Square Mile- at home time. A mass exodus of people running and speed walking to bus stops and the rail and tube stations. It was difficult to move against or across the flow of bodies rushing home.
Whilst the Northern(manufacturing) economy is collapsing, London is a giant development site, it must be the tower crane capital of Europe at the moment. It was difficult to take a shot of any landmark free of cranes, it was easier to make the cranes a feature of the photo. It’s easy to see where the wealth is concentrated – not that there was ever any doubt about it. The morons with too much money are still driving their Lambo’s and Ferraris etc. like clowns in streets that are packed with cars , cyclists and pedestrians, accelerating viciously and noisily for 50 yards. They are just sad attention seekers. From Battersea to Canary Wharf we walked the Thames Embankment, the difference between high and low tide on the river is massive, but the water was the colour of mud – brown! Not very attractive in colour. We caught a Virgin Train from Kings Cross for £14.00 each – a bargain!. We had quite a bit of time to kill around midday at Kings Cross so I checked with security that I was OK to wander around taking photos, without fear of getting jumped by armed security, and set off to photograph the station and St Pancras International Station across the road. I haven’t even looked at the results as I type this but I’ll find out if they are any good shortly. Talking of security, following Paris, there was certainly plenty of private security at most attractions, I don’t know if it was terrorism related though, I can’t say I noticed an increased police presence on the streets. It took us three hours and five minutes from Kings Cross to being back home, not bad for a journey of 200 miles. I can’t imagine that spending countless billions on HS2 or HS3 is going to make a meaningful (cost effective) difference to our journey. Improving what we have, a little faster, would be good. There are some bumpy bits along the route for a mainline and Wakefield to Huddersfield is the equivalent of a cart track – and takes over 30 minutes – it’s only a stone’s throw.

Americans in Rheinland-Pfalz take stand against drugs, alcohol
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz
SEMBACH, Germany - Hundreds of people at U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz took a stand against drug and alcohol abuse Oct. 19 during the Red Ribbon Run at Sembach Kaserne.
The event, centered on a five kilometer fun run and walk, is the Kaiserslautern Military Community’s way to commemorate National Red Ribbon Week. Kai Jendretzke won the race, coming in at 17:11.
“We had more than 850 runners and walkers and we had in excess of 107 volunteers,” said Sandi Magill, who coordinated the event. “I’d say, ‘we rocked it.’”
This year, the event was paired with a Halloween theme – zombies. Many people got into character, sporting ghoulish face paint and torn clothes. The first zombie across the finish line was Pfc. James Conyers, 23, a military police Soldiers assigned to the 230th Military Police Company at Sembach Kaserne.
The event kicked off beside the Sembach Community Activity Center. First, runners and walkers registered and received a t-shirt that said “Never High, Always Fly.” Dozens of families brought their dogs with them. At least one cat also attended.
Following the opening ceremony, participants made their way to the start line. Wojtek Czyz, a German Paralympic athlete whose leg was amputated from a severe soccer injury, held a race torch high. At the starting gun, they were off with Czyz, Maj. Gen. John R. O’Connor, commander of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command and Col. Bryan DeCoster, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, leading the group.
Zombies aside, the garrison hosts the annual event to spread awareness on prevention of drug and alcohol abuse. Red Ribbon Week, which starts Oct. 23, honors the memory of Enrique Camarena, an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent and former Marine who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985.
People sick of the destruction caused by alcohol and drugs began wearing red satin badges and forming coalitions to spread the word. Now, events are designed for people to take a stand against substance abuse. In the KMC, the Army garrison’s family-geared run and walk has become tradition.
Before and after the run, families took part in lots of fun activities, to include a haunted house, mask making, making your own Zombie T-shirt and pumpkin decorating. There was also a flash mob, where volunteers danced to Michael Jackson’s song, “Thriller.”
There was a USO stand offering food as well as food from the Sembach Community Activity Center. There was a haunted house, a pumpkin patch, fire trucks and jumping castles. More than 50 garrison staff and band members also supported the event.
Several community organizations were on hand for the event, to include the garrison’s Army Substance Abuse and Prevention program, Army Community Service and family advocacy. Cadets from the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps posted the colors during the opening ceremony and served as guides. In all, more than 22 community agencies took part, Magill said. In total, roughly 4,075 people took part, Magill said.
Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Kraus, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s senior enlisted leader, closed the event by encouraging participants eat suppers as a family.
“Plan at least three dinners together weekly with your kids. Take time to engage them in conversation about school, work, spirituality, fitness and health,” Kraus said. “It’s been proven to make a difference.”

don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. hoping for change is sometimes simply not enough. never be afraid to do something new. remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.
No difference between the Democrats and the Republicans? Just look at the Supreme Court, who gets nominated and who makes the nominations.
Ya like Scalia and Roberts? Perhaps you want more from Alito and Clarence Thomas? Want corporations to have the ability to make unlimited contributions to political campaigns? Ya love corporate power? Ya like the result in Bush v. Gore or the Citizens United case? Vote Republican for President.
On the other hand, just in case you are a moderate or - especially - a liberal, well ya know what to do..........
Supreme Court Justices serve for life. There are only nine Justices. Once appointed they are accountable to no one. Think about it.
