Sooooo much cooler than my car which is still driven by stinking old gasoline! Like gazillion times cooler.
This is going to be my "Words" cliche entry for Cliche Saturday scavenger hunt. I was not driving when I took this, I swear. I had to restrain myself plenty of times from pulling out an iPhone while on the road and trying to take a shot of a fun bumper sticker on a car right in front of me. I may still do it one day, but this will be the whole new level of crazy! HCS, everyone!

This image illustrates evolving dynamical patterns formed during the spreading of a surface-active substance (surfactant) over a thin liquid film on a silicon wafer. After spin-coating of glycerol, small droplets of oleic acid were deposited. The usually slow spreading process was highly accelerated by the surface tension imbalance that triggered a cascade of hydrodynamic instabilities. Such surface-tension driven flow phenomena are believed to be important for the self-cleaning mechanism of the lung as well as pulmonary drug delivery.
crop based on suggestions by glenbourne at home
I decided to crop like glenbourne suggested, as this one is far closer to what I saw that moment. the other crop might be more interesting with regards to composition, shadows and details - but I did not really notice this part of the scene rather than the whole scene..
Collective 52 Project - Your Choice (surprise us all)
The only surprise in this is that's a shot of me. I've been trying to get comfortable with pointing the camera at myself but it ain't easy. To top it off this was on the drive home after a very long day that started with a 150 mile drive at 8 a.m., weed whacking and spraying for about five hours and then taking that drive back in the other direction. The day kicked my butt..I think the shot reflects that pretty well. ha!
Have a great week!
I have driven past this garage my whole life, and yesterday I decided to stop across the street and take some pictures.
Unfortunately, I didn't really get to explore the options, or plan the shots, or take my time, because the owner of the place, the third generation Mr. Cook, came boiling across the street to find out what in the hell I was doing.
He stayed next to me until I was done, which was much sooner than I would have liked. I didn't even get to change my original, unsatisfactory angle.
But... the result was so different from anything I have ever posted, I decided to put it up for Sliders Sunday.
So, HSS everyone!

Leyland Olympian / Roe A97KUM about to leave Dewsbury on its mammoth journey for a new life and future. Quite fitting it came back to West Yorkshire for old times sake and did very useful work serving as an outreach at a local church for around 4 years. It will be replaced by a newer less interesting vehicle shortly. Lovely to drive something which fits like a pair of old slippers, rather than something which is a headache or gives you one. "Bonne Chance" friend.
Bramley garage once again supplied buses for the Bradford network on Boxing day 2016. The use of elderly 60880 was perhaps surprising given its record, no programmed destination added to the puzzling choice. Faithful as ever the A4 paper helped out again as a route number ! Five Lane Ends, Bradford on the 641.

"Worst of all, violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women’s lives, on their families and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence -- yet the reality is that, too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned." (UN SECRETARY-GENERAL in International Women’s Day 2007 Message.)
“Almost every country in the world still has laws that discriminate against women, and promises to remedy this have not been kept.” (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the eve of International Women's Day 2008)
According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict ( Read more about UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict www.stoprapenow.org/ ). Millions of young women disappear in their native land every year. Many of them are found later being held against their will in other places and forced into prostitution. According to the UNICEF ( www.unicef.org/gender/index_factsandfigures.html ),Girls between 13 and 18 years of age constitute the largest group in the sex industry. It is estimated that around 500,000 girls below 18 are victims of trafficking each year. United Nations agencies estimated that every year 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the procedure – which involves the partial or total removal of external female genital organs – that some 140 million women, mostly in Asia, the Middle East and in Africa, have already endured. We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these women’s deaths and suffering; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.
India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.
Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror in India. Experts are calling it "sanitized barbarism".The 2001 Census conducted by Government of India, showed a sharp decline in the child sex ratio in 80% districts of India. The Census Report of 2001 reveals a highly skewed child sex ratio (0-6 year-olds), that fell from 945 females per 1,000 males in 1991 to an all-time low of 927 in 2001. Additional data from the India’s birth and death registration service indicates that the figures have further fallen to fewer than 900 females per 1,000 men over the last few years. In some parts of the country, the sex ratio of girls to boys has dropped to less than 800:1,000. It's alarming that even liberal states like those in the northeast have taken to disposing of girls. Worryingly, the trend is far stronger in urban rather than rural areas, and among literate rather than illiterate women, exploding the myth that growing affluence and spread of basic education alone will result in the erosion of gender bias.
The United Nations has expressed serious concern about the situation.
Over the years, laws have been made stricter and the punishment too is more stringent now. But since many people manage to evade punishment, others too feel inclined to take the risk. Just look at the way sex-determination tests go on despite a stiff ban on them. Only if the message goes out loud and clear that nobody who dares to snuff out the life of a female foetus would escape effective legal system would the practice end. It is only by a combination of monitoring, education, socio-cultural campaigns, and effective legal implementation that the deep-seated attitudes and practices against women and girls can be eroded.
The decline in the sex ratio and the millions of Missing Women are indicators of the feudal patriarchal resurgence. Violence against women has gone public – whether it is dowry murders,the practice of female genital mutilation , honour killings, sex selective abortions or death sentences awarded to young lovers from different communities by caste councils, rapes and killings in communal and caste violence, it is only women’s and human rights groups who are protesting – the public and institutional response to these trends is very minimal.
Millions of women suffer from discrimination in the world of work. This not only violates a most basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences. Most of the governments turn a blind eye to illegal practices and enact and enforce discriminatory laws. Corporations and private individuals engage in abusive and discriminatory practices without fear of legal system. Sexual harassment and violence in the workplace are common and constant threats to working women’s lives and livelihoods.
More women are working now than ever before, but they are also more likely than men to get low-productivity, low-paid and vulnerable jobs, with no social protection, basic rights nor voice at work according to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) issued for International Women’s Day 2008.

We had driven past signs for the National Trust's Lacock Village and Abbey many times, so, as we moved down from Bath to Exeter, it seemed like an oportunity too good to miss!
I've driven highway 840 south of Rosebud many times, passed by the sign that says "Severn Dam" every time... Today I followed the sign and found this, a rather tiny artificial lake, probably for irrigation... According to some people I talked to it can get quite crowded in the summertime...
February 11, 2016 - Bottlenose Dolphins Captivity – at Taiji, Japan
At approximately 7:45am, local time, Cove Guardians could see three killing machines heading together on the horizon. They had spotted a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and wasted no time to push them towards to the killing cove.
The pod fought hard and tried everything to escape, but they had no chance. The monsters protected by their machines of metal controlled the pod of Bottlenose dolphins. Once the nets were dropped, sealing the fate of this innocent family the killing cove was prepared, as skiffs left the harbor to pick up the “trainers” from Taiji Whale Museum, Dolphin Base and Dolphin Resort. For 50 minutes the pod swam in panic and fear, until “trainers” would determine who among them would spend their lives in a cell or be killed.
The captive selection began shortly after 09:53am, local Japan time. The killers worked hand in hand with the “trainers” during the captive process. An entire family was torn away from each other never to see each other again. 6 Dolphins were transferred to the hellhole of Taiji Harbor, to begin life in a cell for human entertainment.
The rest of the pod was driven out to sea.
Buying a ticket to a marine park or swim with dolphin adventure is comparable to standing in the killing cove as all these beautiful dolphins were torturd and 6 captives were selected. This is where you dolphin show or adventure begins.
CAPTIVITY KILLS. SAY NO TO CAPTIVITY !!!

I can do no less and still feel happy and content and satisfied with myself.

THE GORDON
by Tony Marshall (published in the Isetta Gazette September 1980)
In this article we travel back in time to the mid-fifties. Every enthusiast of British motor cycles must surely be familiar with the magnificent shaft driven Sunbeam machines, often described as the 'Rolls Royce' of the motor cycle world. how many of them are aware, though, that there was a three wheel car that was related, albeit in only a minor way, to those Sunbeams? The link that provides the connection between bike and car is the designer. Erling Poppe became well known for his design of the Sunbeam S7, but his attempt at making a three wheel car went almost unheralded. "And no wonder," you may exclaim when I tell you that the car was the Gordon.
Like many small cars of the period, the Gordon was manufactured by a company that had been hitherto completely unconnected with any aspect of vehicle manufacture. In this instance it was Vernons Industries of Liverpool, whose main claim to fame was, and still is, the football pools. The origin of the name 'Gordon' seems to have been forgotten in the mists of time that have elapsed since ten.
When the Gordon was announced at the beginning of 1954, it was to join the already established makes of Bond, Reliant, A.C.Petite, and, like them, it was of fairly conventional car shape, but with only one front wheel. The chassis was basically a two inch section tubular backbone, and on this was mounted an open body constructed of aluminium at the front and rear 'ends', with a centre section of 'Zintec' steel sheet. The front end, which looked as if it housed the engine, was empty apart from the steering assembly, batteries, petrol tank, and the enormous front wheel. There was only one door, and this on the left. It was not possible to fit a drivers door as the lower portion of the space normally allocated to such items was the mounting point for the engine. Fitted low down, it did not intrude much on interior space since it was placed partially outboard, and covered with a bulging metal panel. From here, the drive was by chain to the offside rear wheel.
Prototype models were two seaters, but by the time the car went on sale in April 1954, the body had been altered to accommodate two sideways facing hammock seats in the back for children, and the hood was extended to that it stretched from the windscreen right to the rear of the car, rather like a marquee!
The bodywork was of angular styling with flat panels and squared off corners. The size of the vehicle was quite considerable, being ten feet two inches in length and four feet nine and a half inches wide, though of course the engine and its cover contributed to much of the width.
The power for this 'incredible hulk' came from a Villiers 8E/R two stroke engine of only 197cc, with three forward gears and a reverse. There was an electric starter which turned the flywheel by belt, quite an unusual arrangement, but one which was shared by the Bond Minicar Mark 'C', which had the same engine.
Probably the most attractive feature of the Gordon was the price. It cost £269.17.9d including purchase tax. This made it considerable cheaper to buy than any other car on the market at that time.
Surprisingly, perhaps, it was reported in contemporary roadtests that the uneven weight distribution, even with only a driver in the car, did not really affect the handling, not that the single rear wheel drive was not a cause for concern. In fact, most testers seem to have been impressed by the comfort and performance of the Gordon.
The makers drove one from Lands End to John O' Groats as a publicity exercise, and claimed to have covered 1937 miles using only 31 gallons of petrol, approximately 62.5 mpg. One continuous run of 24 hours covered 546 miles, and another stretch produced a fuel consumption of 69 mpg.
Taken all in all, the Gordon was quite successful, and continued in production until 1957, by which time a deluxe model was on offer, boasting two tone paint, modified body trim, and white wall tyres!
Today, the Gordon is rare. One is in the Surrey Micro Car Collection. Only one other is known at the time of writing (1980).
