72/366
We expected snow yesterday, thankfully we got none in the valley.
A friend of mine, her 4 year old daughter and I took a walk while my boys were off being boys. It was cold and unbelievably gray. After an hour or so of walking we came upon a Starbucks and came in to get warmed up. As we sat down, sun came through a crevice in the sky, and I snapped this shot of Ela.
When my coffee was ready I found the perfect companion for this shot on my coffee cup....

This was the original text, but the video has now been extended by the inclusion of the 2nd and 3rd parts, never shown, taking the ride from Worksop back to Darnall, the video stops in Orgreave, at Orgreave Lane over-bridge.
Finally, a video sequence, taken through the window of our DMU service back to Darnall, where two of us had left out cars to get the train into Worksop at 11 this morning. The video was shot on my Samsung S7 phone and through the window of the class 144, 'rocking and rolling' along. It shows the rake of coaches and the class 345, 345023, sat on the nearest siding road to the main lines, albeit at the other side of the palisade fence which surrounds the HArry Needle's Yard. At this time, about 13:45, the rake of VTEC coaches and the rear DVT, 82226, have been reversed onto the line next to the Electric Unit and the DVT can be seen poking out beyond the line of grey/blue Electric Unit coaches. Some information about the 345 units, brought up from the Queen Elisabeth line in London-

At some point, the Yard will become much fuller and there is, we were informed, to be other classes and sets brought here for both storage and maintenance, so it looks like the place will be very lively indeed, though not accessible to photographers, easily... shame a viewing platform couldn't have been erected somewhere to facilitate the enthusiast requirements ... apologies for the various background noises! (this has now been dealt with to a large extent).
The additional parts, from Wales to Woodhouse and from Woodhouse to Orgreave, have now been included so that the full 'glory' of the Lincoln Line journey can be seen, taken with Adrian Wynn in June, 2019. Various other interesting aspects of the ride back, edited to last just over 6 minutes, can be viewed in the latter two sections..

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Police (ISP) and the Illinois Tollway were joined by their industry partners today to kick off National Work Zone Awareness Week with a reminder to all Illinois motorists: Expect the unexpected driving
through work zones. To signal the start of construction season and call attention to the dangers of driving in work zones, Governor Bruce Rauner has signed a proclamation designating this week
as “Work Zone Safety Week” in Illinois.
“Construction season is underway. That means crews will be out working on the roads, often times just a few feet away from traffic,” said Acting Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “Please slow down and eliminate distractions while driving through work zones.
The rules are very simple: See orange. Slow down. Save lives.”
The theme for this year’s National Work Zone Awareness Week is “Expect the Unexpected.”
Whenever motorists are traveling through work zones, they need to be aware of sudden lane closures and shifts, the presence of construction equipment, changing traffic patterns and speeds, as well as a host of other factors that can make work zones potentially dangerous places. More than 4,300 motor vehicle crashes occur in Illinois work zones every year. Provisional data shows that 29 people, including three workers, were killed in Illinois work zone crashes in 2014.
“Construction work zones can be hazardous to motorists and workers alike,” said ISP Col. Mike Zerbonia. “Motorists should prepare for the unexpected by reducing speed and staying focused on the road ahead. Speeding and distracted driving in a work zone is a dangerous offense with tragic consequences.”
Speed and inattentiveness are major contributors to work zone crashes. Workers are not the only ones at risk, either. Statistics show that approximately 90 percent of all work zone fatalities are
motorists.
This year, IDOT will be expanding on the Smart Work Zone technology introduced last year. The system utilizes computers to relay travel times via digital message boards in advance of an interstate work zone so motorists are aware of any backups and can seek alternate routes. Speed
indicator boards will be deployed again this year to increase awareness of work zone speed limits.
Illinois State Police also will continue to operate photo enforcement vans as another measure to reduce speeds in work zones. Signs are posted prior to motorists entering work zones where photo enforcement vans are stationed, with a speed indicator board above the van to give drivers one last chance to slow down.
“With so much construction on the Illinois Tollway this year, it’s important for drivers traveling
in work zones to use caution at all times,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi
Lafleur. “Tollway customers can avoid surprises in work zones by planning ahead and visiting
our website for the latest project information and tools to help plan your trip.”
Fines for speeding in work zones are $375 for first-time offenders and $1,000 for a second offense, whether or not workers are present. If workers are present, motorists can lose their driver’s license for up to 90 days after a second violation. The penalty for hitting a worker is a fine up to $10,000 and 14 years in prison.
In recent years, Illinois has adopted distracted driving laws that prohibit the use of all hand-held electronic devices while driving at all times, work zones included. The use of electronic
communications devices or any other electronic device, to text, e-mail, compose, read or send
electronic messages or access internet sites while driving a motor vehicle also is prohibited.

I wasn’t expecting much when I took this combo to the San Diego County Fair. There were tons of people, and while it wasn’t the warmest day the California sun was still kind of harsh. I was planning to just take some tourist snapshots here and there and figure out if I love the bokeh the lens produces under sunlight. The moment I put my eye to the viewfinder and turned the focus ring, I saw magic. The bokeh was exactly what I had been seeking for years - busy yet painterly, and all the other tourists were no longer distractions but became part of the Impressionist art that was brushed up rather casually. I also saw some best focus falloff I have ever seen, and there was a sense of depth even in the bokeh. The highlight handling is incredible too, as if the lens somehow softened the harsh sunlight. The subject had an organic look with the right amount of nice glow. Soft wideopen? Perhaps. Do I care? Certainly no!
As expected, the winter storm has brought several inches of snow to our region and more is forecast today. The windy weather has caused outages around our service area, primarily in South and East King County especially the Enumclaw and Snoqualmie areas.

This was the least likely place I expected to see an over under with CP and CN as CP's St Thomas bound local marches down the jointed rail with 4 cars slowing for a 10 mph slow order as a CN transport zips above at 65 mph.
When I visited in March, CP was still making daily trips to St Thomas, Ontario to deliver frame cars for Formet and boxcars to Messenger Freight Systems. But by June the shipments for Formet would stop and CP would run south of Putnam as required to service Messenger Freight Systems. On December 14, 2009 the Ontario Southland Railway took over CP's operations on the St Thomas Sub through a lease and operate 7 days a week to the CAMI auto compound in Ingersoll, and as required to St Thomas.

I expected to see the blue ocean and tropical landscape. However, I was surprised at how many unexpected artistic touches I found around every corner. Honolulu, I love you!
Über 3.000 Menschen demonstrierten am 29. Januar 2011 für den Erhalt des seit über 20 Jahren existierenden Hausprojektes Liebig 14. Nach verfassungswidrigen Vorkontrollen und Festnahmen durch die Polizei und einem Redebeitrag setzte sich die Demonstration am Kottbusser Tor in Richtung Warschauer Straße lautstark in Bewegung. Viele an der Demorroute liegende Hausprojekte und Mieter_innen solidarisierten sich mit Transparenten mit der Liebig 14. Die etwa 650 Polizist_innen übten sich die meiste Zeit in Zurückhaltung, nahmen jedoch kurz vor dem Frankfurter Tor einige Menschen fest, was zu Flaschen-, Böller-, und Steinwürfen aus der Demonstration heraus führte.
An der Ecke Rigaerstraße/Liebigstraße sorgten Musik, Feuerwerk und Bengalos auf den Dächern für gute Stimmung unter den Demonstrant_innen. Anschließend wurde die wieder anrückende Polizei mit Steinen, Flaschen und Böllern auf Abstand gehalten und Barrikaden aus Bauzäunen und Dixi-Klos auf der Rigaerstraße errichtet. Die Polizei ging mit aller Härte gegen Demonstrant_innen vor, verletzte dabei willkürlich mehrere Menschen und nahm etwa 20 fest.
Die Demonstration dürfte einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf die am 2. Februar drohende Räumung der Liebig 14 darstellen...
Nearly 200 sailors expected for the 17th edition of the Coffee Route! In October 2025, the TRANSAT CAFÉ L'OR Le Havre Normandie will take off on 26 October from Le Havre to Martinique, where the finish will be decided for the third time in a row. An unmissable event in ocean racing that skippers in the four open classes have already ticked off their agendas: IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, ULTIM and Class40.
The largest city in Normandy, Le Havre or "LH", for short, is located only 2 hours from Paris. Strong perspectives, modernist decor, dimensions which are both human and aesthetic, Le Havre is a city of water and light which stimulates a strong artistic imagination.
Founded by François I and magnified by Claude Monet, Le Havre is more than ever an inspiring area. After the horrors of the Second World War, the city recovered and rebuilt itself. This represents a renaissance which has earned the city center a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005.
For 30 years, Le Havre has been the host city of the longest transatlantic race which now associates its name with it: the TRANSAT CAFÉ L'OR Le Havre Normandie.
Expect media blitz next weekend.
Incidentally, this means I shall have to post the English edition to young Daniel in Miami, because there is a simplified Amercan version they get. Also I have just found out the audio version in the US is read by someone other than Stephen Fry! Better send him CDs too.
I wasn't expecting to see a European truck in Panama.
The truck stock here is dominated by over-the-top designs from the USA. This Scania was quiet, space efficient and didn't belch acrid smoke like the behemoths from 'the North'.
Didn't expect to see this magnificent Western when I turned up at Plymouth station but which Western was it? I thought it was Western Renown as that's what it said on the name plate but on the other side of the train the name plate had Western Champion. (See my photo - Champion?) Anyone able to enlighten me on this one?
From ESPNU - When two of the nation's top three-ranked squads square off, a fantastic game with a fantastic finish can be expected. That's exactly what the fans at Blake Arena saw when FAB 50 No. 1 St. Patrick (Elizabeth, N.J.) took on No. 3 Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) in the marquee contest of the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass., on Monday...St. Patrick was down 42-34 at the half, but used a scintillating second-half performance from Duke-bound point guard Kyrie Irving to get back in the game. He scored on a variety of jump shots and acrobatic moves in the lane, but it was two free throws by Irving with one second left that put the Celtics in position to tie the game and force overtime...With St. Patrick trailing 71-69, Irving nailed the first, but the game-tying free throw was off target. Teammate Michael Gilchrist, who was nursing knee and ankle injuries, came up with the offensive rebound, but had his put back attempt blocked by a trio of swarming Findlay Prep defenders as the buzzer sounded. With its 71-70 victory, coach Michael Peck's club from Findlay Prep (22-1) will move up to No. 2 in the next ESPN RISE FAB 50 Rankings. The No. 3 ranked Pilots lost by one point to current No. 2 Northland (Columbus, Ohio), which is set to take over the top spot in the national rankings following Saturday's win over No. 9 Oak Hill Academy at the Hoophall Classic...Irving, the No. 6 player in the ESPNU 100 and a Mr. Basketball USA candidate, finished with a game-high 30-points for St. Patrick (10-1). Findlay Prep's counter part at the point guard position, Cory Joseph, finished with a team-high 23-points, on 8-of-16 shooting, with nine boards. Joseph, ranked No. 30 in the ESPNU 100, is another Mr. Basketball USA candidate. He battled leg cramps in the second half after scoring 16-points and helping his team build a first half cushion...It was uncertain if Gilchrist, the No. 1 prospect in the ESPNU Super 60, was going to play in this game after suffering a knee injury in a game against Union (Union, N.J.) on Jan. 5. Gilchrist gave a valiant effort and even made contributions after suffering a sprained ankle in the first quarter. He finished with 19 points...Findlay Prep forward Tristan Thompson finished with eight points before fouling out, but wing Nick Johnson picked up the scoring slack for his Texas-bound teammate with 16 points. Johnson is the nephew of former Boston Celtic guard Dennis Johnson and the son of California playground legend "Jumping" Joey Johnson...Monday's marquee at the Hoophall Classic was a matchup of two great point guards and two great teams, but unfortunately time ran out on St. Patrick, which suffered its first loss on the year.
