Up until this point GE only manufactured Christmas Lamps for retail sale as replacements and as a lamp supplier to lighting string manufacturers. This would begin their dominance in the US Christmas Lighting Industry for well over two decades.

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. There is another similar book of English Heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, which was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

Atto di morte di Giacomo Leopardi nella parrocchia della Santissima Annunziata a Fonseca in Napoli (Libro X dei Defunti dell'anno 1837, pag. 174, atto n° 7).
Leopardi muore il 14 giugno 1837 nella casa di Vico Pero n° 2. L'atto è stilato il giorno dopo ["a 15 detto"] e riporta erroneamente il nome della madre ["Andici" anziché "Antici"]. Il testo completo è quindi: "D. Giacomo Leopardi Conte, figlio di D. Monaldo, e di Adelaide Andici di anni 38. munito de' SS. Sag.ti [Santissimi Sagramenti] morto a 14 do [detto]. Sepolto Idem, dom.to [domiciliato] Vico Pero n° 2".
Il "Sepolto Idem" rimanda alle precedenti certificazioni dello stesso giorno, la prima delle quali è "sepolto nel Cimitero Colerico".
Questa annotazione ha offerto facile appiglio a chi ha negato la dettagliata descrizione di Antonio Ranieri circa il seppellimento nella chiesa di San Vitale a Fuorigrotta e, ancor oggi, fa sì che qualche guida turistica dica che tra i moltissimi teschi del cimitero delle Fontanelle ci sia quello di Leopardi.
In realtà non ci sarebbe potuta essere annotazione diversa da quella apposta dal parroco, dopo l'editto di re Ferdinando II che imponeva la sepoltura di chiunque nel cimitero dei colerosi.
Altro motivo di polemica è l'indicazione "munito de' SS. Sag.ti".
Effettivamente, tale Padre Felice da Cerignola della vicina chiesa di Sant'Agostino agli Scalzi scrisse la seguente dichiarazione: "Si certifica al Signor Parroco, qualmente istantaneamente è passato a miglior vita il Conte Giacomo Leopardi di Reganati [sic], al quale l'ho prestato l'ultime preci da morte ciò doveva, e non altro" (Università di Napoli, fondo documenti "Villa delle Ginestre" depositato presso la Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli).
Il parroco dell'Annunziata a Fonseca ha tenuto conto evidentemente di questa dichiarazione, che in verità parla di "ultime preci da morte" e non di sacramenti.
I read a news story recently that stated that the town of Bad Doberan, Germany was embarrassed during the G8 Summit in June, 2007, by their link to Adolf Hitler in which the town was the first to grant Hitler an honourary citizenship in August of 1932 after the Nazi Party won a majority in regional elections there.
Well, this is not true. They were not the first to do so, in fact, the town of Rosenkopf would now be the first (July 22nd, 1932), as I own the original citizenship document that the town presented to Hitler.
I purchased this framed document a few years ago from a seller in the United States who appeared to not realize what he had in his possession at the time.
Here is a bit of background about these documents that were presented to Hitler as he was rising to power in the 1930's:
From the BBC - More than 4,000 towns and cities awarded Hitler the title of honorary citizen during the Nazi period. Most revoked that honour after 1945.
I'm losing detail when I run the image through png for more speed but I'm on old poky dialup, creak, creak, creak. If the economy goes over the cliff, everyone will be cutting back to old, poky dialup, maybe even less.

Fra Byarkivets utstilling på lesesalen i mai 2010.
Trondheim 20. Juni 1945.
Til Trondheim bystyre.
Dansen på byens torg.
Som representanter for byens prester vender vi oss til det vyrde bystyret i anledning den offentlige dansen på torget.
Når bystyret har gått til noe for oss her nord så usedvanlig og fremmed som å forestå et slikt arrangement – og når byens varaordfører offentlig oppfordrer til deltaking i det – går vi ut fra at det ligger visse motiver bak. Om vekten og betimeligheten av disse kan og vil vi ikke uttale oss. Men hvor velment arrangementet enn måtte forutsettes å være, synes det utvilsomt at skyggesidene ved det er så alvorlige at det må være grunn for myndighetene til å ta spørsmålet opp til ny overveielse. Dette så meget mer som den spontane reaksjon blant meget store deler av byens befolkning er sterk og dyptgående.
Det er mulig at denne dansen er tenkt som en slags erstatning for og eventuelt et vern mot værre gatetrafikk og utglidninger i trangere lokaler. Men i så fall vil den forfeile sin hensikt. Det kan ikke være til å unngå at denne offentlige dansen for flere unge piker vil bli innledningen til løse forbindelser og et steg på vegen til videre gatetrafikk. Å få skarer av barn og mindreårige som tilskuere vil også virke alt annet enn heldig. De erfaringer som etter nøkterne opplysninger er høstet av liknende arrangements i Sverige, er alt annet enn gode.
Vi ønsker ikke her å ta opp det prinsipielle spørsmålet om dansens moralske virkninger i det hele. Vi vil bare understreke de særlige konsekvenser av dette arrangement på byens eget torg.
I fall arrangementet måtte være tenkt som en imøtekommenhet mot våre egne og våre allierte tropper, er det dessuten av noen vekt at ved dansen søndag 17. d.m. var det etter sigende et forholdsvis lite antall slike som deltok.
En må dertil være merksam på at det eksempel som Trondheim by her har satt, vil kunne få uanete og lite gledelige konsekvenser ut over i by og land.
Store kretser i byen er sterkt opptatt av saken og mange ønsker gjerne en offentlig aksjon. Førebels vil vi allikevel bare komme med denne direkte henvendelsen til det vyrde bystyre. Gjenpart av nærværende skriv er dog etter anmodning sendt til kristelige organisasjoner.

We froze Kerri's panties at a slumber party! Eeeek! And lots of other stupid/mean things. But it was all in good fun. No matter, because she won: She became a cheerleader and was way more popular than I was anyway.

Not trying to add gasoline to the acquisition fire (I support it), it's just a dictionary definition. I got my new "Shorter" Oxford English Dictionary today (yes, I'm excited) and was thinking of words to look up. This one came to mind, and I hadn't seen those definitions before.
Ms. ownership inscription of Gottlieb Paul Christ (1707-1786):
"Theophili Pauli Christii Coburgensis Onoldibati[?] a C.N. MDCCLX."
[Gottlieb Paul Christ (1707-1786), professor, librarian and court functionary at Ansbach.
In their finding aid Aldine Press Books at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, The University of Texas at Austin (Austin: The Center, 1998), Craig W. Kallendorf and Maria X. Wells identify the ex-libris "Theophili Pauli Christi" as "Gottlieb Paul Christ (18th cent.), prof. at Anspach Gymnasium". According to his biographical entry in C.A. Baader, Lexikon Verstorbener Schrifsteller des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts (Augsburg: Von Jenisch- und Stage'schen Buchhandlung, 1825), Bd. 2, T. 1, p. 22, Christ was born in Coburg but came to Ansbach in 1728 to take service with Freiherr von Seckendorff (probably Christoph Ludwig Freiherr von Seckendorff-Aberdar). He went abroad on several diplomatic missions and became the librarian for the Ansbacher Schlossbibliothek. (According to E.F.C. Oertel in Georg Ludwig Oeder der erste Rektor bei der Einweihung des neuen Gymnasiums in Ansbach am 12. Juni 1737 ... (Ansbach: Oertel, 1837) p. 54-55, he got the job in 1738; according to the Schlossbibliothek's history web page, he was the second librarian to be appointed.) In 1737 he was appointed professor at the gymnasium in Ansbach and published a number of works on historical subjects; he also continued to serve at court as a councillor.

Captioned "Left to right PM Durack MP Durack Sir William Campion Border Obelisk" - REAR
Although captioned as 1929 on some of these images recent research into Governor Campion's visit finds this took place in 1927, soon after completion of the Kimberley Obelisk by the WA Survey crew, which is backed up by the new un-weathered look of the concrete. This new date is confirmed by the content of the article below and a diary entry from MP Durack's diary.
GOVERNOR IN NORTH. (1927, July 2). The West Australian (Perth, WA : 1879-1954), p. 13. Retrieved July 9, 2011, from nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32037103
Patsy Millett has also provided us an entry from her grandfather, MP Durack's diary for this day, which gives us an exact date of June 26th 1927.
26/6/27 – "Out at 9am to border pillar with Governor (Campion), Major Nicholls, Patsy (PM Durack) and self. Took a number of photos."
In 1921 the WA and SA government astronomers determined the WA/NT border on the ground using radio time signals. In 1927 the Kimberley Obelisk was erected using the earlier determinations, by the WA Lands and Surveys Department, on the northern 129 degree border of Rosewood and Argyle stations. A copper plug in the top of this obelisk marks the WA/NT (hence this part of the Rosewood/Argyle) border on the ground. A line is run south to the 26th parallel and a line run north through a similar obelisk at Deakin near the Trans-Continental Railway line. Due to early days inaccuracies, where they meet at the 26th parallel, was marked and in 1968 an agreement made to establish "Surveyor General's Corner," where there is now a section of the WA/NT border that runs east-west for about 125 metres. So the WA border is not as straight as it looks!

Die IOS (Informations- und Objektsicherheit) des Departements für Verteidigung, Bevölkerungsschutz und Sport (VBS) gehört auch zu den Besuchern meines Photostreams. Der Chef der Armee scheint aber nicht mit allem einverstanden zu sein, was es bei mir zu sehen gibt. Mein Weihnachtsgeschenk, ein Besuch beim VBS. 28. Dez. 2011.
Not the most artistic shot of a book in the history of photography; possibly even only of interest to the three people whose writing is captured here. This is a page of the hut register from Lakes of the Clouds AMC Hut, below Mount Washington, from August 5th, 1992.
Most of the campsites, huts, and shelters along the Appalachian Trail have hiker registers: anything from a regular lined notebook up to nice, hardbound journals, for the hikers to sign in with date and time. The idea is rooted in being able to find missing hikers: seeing what shelters they’ve signed in at, and when, can provide important clues to searchers. For people doing long-distance hiking, though, they also serve other purposes: confessionals, places to record milestones, places to leave messages (or taunts) to other long-distance hikers you’ve met or heard of, and so on. At most of the smaller facilities, the old registers are usually just collected by the shelter maintainer, or possibly mailed back to whoever left the blank pages. If there are archives, they’re small and largely unknown. But at the AMC huts, they get kept in the hut’s library.
So, when I stopped in to have a seat and a snack, I went to see if I could track down my own entry in the register from my thru-hike in 1992 (I had tried, and failed, to find my own entry at Mizpah Spring Hut the day before). This is my entry, and the entry of my two hiking partners. We were collectively known as “The Falling Rock Patrol” on the trail (most thru-hikers end up with “trail names”). I’m the topmost one, followed by my friend Tom, followed by my friend Peter. You can see we had other odd names there to distinguish ourselves, although no one ever called us by those names. The names are in Lenni Lenape, and were given to us when each of us was presented the Vigil honor in Boy Scouting: mine, “Meschatamen”, means “He Who Remembers”; Tom’s is “Gunequot”, or “Tall One”, and Peter’s is Nachgohomen, or “He Who Sings”.
I make a mention of us “slackpacking southbound”. We were hiking notch-to-notch, with only day gear, for this stretch and staying with Tom’s parents in Lincoln, New Hampshire at night (as I mentioned on another photo, it can be tough to find legal places to camp in the Whites without blowing your budget when thru-hiking). Hiking without your full pack, for a thru-hiker in ’92, was known as “slackpacking”. As we had all done Mount Washington on multiple occasions before our thru-hike, we actually hiked down Washington twice, so on this stretch we went south.
The little bowling-pin looking things near our signatures are juggling clubs; we carried juggling clubs the entire trip, and did on occasion weasel food (“yogi-ing”, in Thru-Hiker, after the venerable and smarter-than-average bear) out of people by juggling in towns.
And, yes, Falling Rocks do go “thud”.
Set of photos of pages from an old Special Traffic Notice detailing the arrangements in connection with the introduction of colour light signalling through East Croydon and Purley on the Brighton Main Line some 60 years ago in May 1955.
Fascinating stuff for me to see in the 18 page document including (in no particular order):-
Twelve hour clock.
Blackboards to be exhibited in prominent positions (page 2).
Yeovil Town to Gravesend Central milk train (page 2).
Coulsdon North station being open at weekends.
Victoria to provide brake van for Redhill portion of diverted 9.30pm Parcels from Victoria to Brighton (page 4).
Light engine movements to Bricklayers Arms Shed.
'Road motor' replacement for staff between various locations.
4.45am & 4.50am (Pass & News) from London Bridge being diverted via the Mid Kent line, Selsdon and Oxted as well as running south of East Grinstead to Horsted Keynes and then via Ardingly to Haywards Heath. (page 9).
5.15am (Pass & News) from East Croydon to Bognor Regis starting from London Bridge and running via the Mid Kent line, Oxted, Crowhurst Spur to Edenbridge, where a Turnover Engine (TE) took the train to Redhill where another 'TE' took the train on towards the Sussex coast '8 minutes later thence' (page 9).
9.28pm (Pass & Postal) from Margate to Cannon Street running via Edenbridge, Crowhurst Spur, Oxted, Selsdon and the Mid Kent line (page 10).
The interesting freight movements on pages 14 & 15 (including empty wooden mineral wagons to Merstham) with trains either being worked by Electric Locos (EL) or Steam Hauled (SH). Some of the freights were revised to run via Horsham and Shorehan by Sea via Steyning.
District Inspector Anscombe had a busy couple of nights being in attendance at Horsham Yard from 11.0pm Saturday and Three bridges Yard from 10.0pm Sunday.
For me I think the best part is the simplicity of it all, just an 18 page traffic notice for introduction of colour light signalling over one Saturday night. 60 years on of course and there would now be Project Managers and the like and the line would be shut all weekend. Still at least things are more efficient now aren't they!................
It's surprisingly hard to get a sense of what's going on in a protest when you're in the thick of it. Here, one protester takes a moment to turn around and take a quick snap behind her.
Some desatution and lower contrast for a more aged feel, but I think the rendering of the Apoqualia is really absolutely stunning. I had never thought I would become so enthralled with a 28mm lens, and I'm curious if I would have had a similar reaction to the Summilux on the Leica Q or the Summilux/Summicron-M lenses.
Some people have expressed interest in seeing how the Apoqualia performs on a non-rangefinder full frame sensor. It's not entirely fair to use the SL here, since I suspect Leica put some thought into how their own (and similarly designed) lenses would handle, but any smearing you see here is a result of my having blown the exposure by not paying attention to the sheer range between the protesters and the open sky.
"January 28, 1943
Had alarm last night. Received orders to stand by to repel landing parties. The Japs never attempted to make a landing, however. As No. 36 left for Cactus, I did no work today. Slept most of the morning. This afternoon an F4U saluted to the field. Speed? It's got it. Saw The Gold Rush with Charles Chaplin. Got a box of stationery from Irene. Rain.
January 29, 1943
Did nothing all day. Layed around tent as usual, took a shower. 4 Vought-Sikorsky 74Us flew around the field this morning. As all our new Grummans left for Cactus, life is easy. Saw Lady In a Jam with Irene Dunne. To bed early, and it rained for about the 18th
consecutive night."
