Dina was explaining to us about how Bette Midler rose out of this clamshell during a stage production in San Diego way back in the day...it sat in a theater props shop (or was it a pawn shop? anyway...) for two years, complete with life-size mermaid sculpture. The clam shell has a light inside of it, for night-time viewing!

How does one explain, with a photograph, the truly awe inspiring experience of tens of thousands of Ross’ Geese flying out to begin their morning? They say a picture is worth a thousand words but I don’t think a thousand words could do justice to the experience, nor does this photo. I really wanted my 11-year-old son to experience nature in one of its most awesome displays. We were not disappointed. When the mass of Ross’s geese flew over our heads, as far as the eye could see, was Ross’s Geese. The only thought I had other than utter total wonderment was, that I sure wish I were wearing a hat. The massive fly-ins and fly-outs of the Ross's Geese and the Lesser Sandhill Cranes made this experience one that my son and I will not forget having shared, for the rest of our lives. Truly something every nature lover should experience.
He explained us about the cabbage he plants and the showed us how to use this farming instrument. What a nice moment.
Personally I love this shot very much. The cabbage gives a stunning background and the whole composition is just wonderful.
charismathics exhibits at IBM Pulse 2011, Las Vegas - 27Feb - 2Mar 2011
Get rid of your standard authentication media, your smart card, your USB token, your reader and be free to move around with your inseparable companions only, your smart phone and your laptop. With them alone you can fully benefit of strong authentication mechanisms thanks to iEnigma® by charismathics®. The latest cutting edge technology delivered with a completely new user experience. Stop waiting for the IT administrator to set some weird architecture for you, do it independently yourself with some few clicks from your smart phone.
Organizations have enforced smart card authentication in recent years; however this technology is perceived as cryptic and cumbersome by many. iEnigma by charismathics simplifies strong authentication by using smart phones instead. The software is compatible with most PKI applications on computers and smart phones, maintaining the exact security standards. With iEnigma the user can log into his system, sign emails and documents, encrypt communications just as before, saving on buying other hardware and opening new ranges of use cases.
iEnigma is a mobile PKI security solution, absolutely unique and thus patented. Comparable products are either OTP or password based. Companies did not invest in architectures securing the communication between smart phone and laptop or mirroring the strong authentication and digital signature functionalities like a smart card does. With iEnigma, charismathics has translated standard APIs into Bluetooth language, reproducing the exact PKI authentication environment. Providing full TMS compatibility, enabling secure PIN entry and secure channel messaging by default, the software is immediately available for Windows Mobile. iEnigma will soon run on Android, RIM and Apple, also supporting NFC enabled units.
iEnigma simplifies strong authentication opening it to wider range of user groups. Already using smart cards, iEnigma enhances IT security by design, maintaining compatibility to investments made before. Introducing strong authentication, it extensively saves on hardware and is more flexible to use. Organizations save on constantly lost or damaged hardware.
iEnigma bridges user credentials from phones into computers, encrypting the communication channel, allowing PIN entry on the smart phone itself, thus enhancing the security compared to standard smart cards. By supporting applications on the phone, it works remotely as well. The full PKI compatibility allows for unchanged internal processes.
iEnigma re-invents the smart card and is the first strong authentication product that incorporates the expected permutation of corporate IT systems. Supporting common smart phone platforms, it supports applications both on the computer and the smart phone, putting all credentials together in a secure data container on the phone, whether it is the key chain, flash memory, SIM card or additional secure microSD cards such as the Secure Element for NFC operations. All current products are proprietary or represent a niche - no one offers an iEnigma-like 2-in-1 solution and with side benefits such as: full PKI compatibility; significant reductions in hardware cost by replacing tokens and readers using the phone instead; allowing encrypted communication; secure PIN entry; flexible credentials manageable by the user. iEnigma makes full use of the advantages of smart phones and is still fully compatible with all standard processes, APIs, cryptography algorithms and identity management systems. There is no other product opening the range of contactless authentication applications for PKI, such as in hospitals or transportation or payment schemes. The simple user interface opens up strong authentication to small organizations and the single user, reducing identity thefts and phishing attacks within day-to-day use.

151st day of protests infront of the US State Department, by Iranians demanding end to harrasment and delisting of the MEK/PMOI by the US.
the article explains:
MEK provides hope for Iranian people
Sadegh Sistani - 8/5/2011
Much has been said and discussed about the MEK/PMOI in the press and among policy makers, some behind closed doors and others in high-level diplomatic meetings. The most prominent Iranian opposition group (Mojahedin as known by the Iranian people) is a main battleground which will determine lives of millions in Iran and the whole region.
The charge that the MEK has no support in Iran is, frankly, baseless.
The 2009 uprisings and latest official purge within the clerical hierarchy leave no doubt for appeasers that democracy is void in Iran and therefore it would be only self suicide for any Iranian to display an iota of sympathy for the MEK, which is classified as “Moharebe”* by a fatwa released by Khomeini.
I endured 17 years of prison and torture under the clerical regime in Iran.
During the 2009 uprisings, I met in prison tens of youth, tortured and beaten and accused of correlating and working with the MEK. We were submerged in a wave of desperate negative propaganda against the organization. Press titles read:” The commander of Ashura day incidents was the PMOI and rioters chanted their slogans” and that” Saying no to Velayat-e Faqih (Iranian Supreme Leader) means that you have accepted the rule of Maryam Rajavi instead.”
The punishment and “Verdict for protestors is death “in Iran (Mohseni-Ejei, former Minister of Intelligence- Mehr stat-run news agency, January 4, 2010) and “Anyone who helps PMOI in any way will be deemed Moharebe* (First Deputy of Judiciary- Channel 2 TV, December 30, 2009).
The number of street protestors arrested for association with the Mojaheden (MeK) also depicts its role in demonstrations as do slogans echoing Mojahedin chants, e.g., calling for a democratic change by chanting “down with the principle of Velayat-e Faqih” (referring to Supremacy of one man -Khamenei).
The aftermath of the 2009 uprising there was a wave of executions, mainly MEK members, such as Jafar Kazemi, Ali Aghaei,… and tens of death orders for its supporters who were charged with either visiting Camp Ashraf or taking part in the protests.
The clerical regime’s fear of the MEK has already reflected in increasing widening of the rift and escalation of qualms in the Hierarchy of the regime which is adamantly leading to an implosion of the entirely of this illegitimate regime.
Only during the last two weeks, the MEK/PMOI has occupied 90 percent of clerical regime propaganda spur referring to the organization at least 100 times.
It is time to resolve the long argued paradox: “The MEK cannot be an isolated little sect and the most powerful and feared element by the clerical regime at the same time."
All this illustrates just how significant the Mujahedeen of Iran are in the Iranian puzzle and how urgently the US needs to stand alongside the people in their choice to bring about a complete change through its capable and well rooted organization , the MEK by delisting the organization from its FTO list.
The Mujahedeen are a well-organized, highly-educated, and devoted group of Iranian activists who have stood alone on the frontline to terror and Islamic fundamentalism for at least 27 years now well before the West finally realized the threat. They have warned of, and urged vigilance against, the clerical regime for years, only to be brushed aside by skeptical intellectuals and pro engagement pundits in Europe and the US. They have tried to educate a duped Western audience about the enormous capacity of the Islamic fundamentalists to inflict pain and suffering on the social fabric of modern society, ripping it asunder and thrusting it into a convulsion of crises that it can benefit from.
At the same the fear the clerical regime has towards its only serious enemy, the MEK as its anti-thesis.
However, the US policy to confront the clerical fascist regime in Iran is incoherent. Appeasers in Capitol Hill steered by lobbies of the Iranian regime somehow manage to combine colossal moral failure with strategic imbecility with the overpowering stench of hypocrisy to pass over the huge loss of National interest of the United States in the game over Iran. Nevertheless, the Iranian people, having 35 years of priceless struggle against the religious fascist ruling Iran distinguish best and stand with their only chance for Democracy: the MEK.
Recognizing the people’s right to resist the tyrannical rule in Iran and lending support to the opposition who aspires to establish the principles of a free secular Republic, is the only beacon for the Iranian populous in Iran. This will send a true message of good will gesture to the Iranian people and also the people of the region; The United States to pave way for peace and security in Iran and the region by siding with the people and not their henchmen.
The only necessary step should be to recognize the Mojahedin –e Khalq (MEK/PMOI) as the true voice of the Iranian people who desire complete change in their homeland.
On July 30, the Iranian resistance announced the results of a 64-hour telethon, during which Iranians contributed $3.28 million dollars to the INTV (the Iranian resistance Satellite Television broadcasting to four continents and covering Iran with anti- government news and broadcast).The extensive support displayed during the programme is only one example of millions of the love and respect the Iranian people have towards the Mojahedin (MEK).
I would like to end with the words of one of the supporters of the MEK in Iran, Mohammad, who had participated in telethon:
“The MEK is like a mirror, reflecting one's true self; for some showing tyranny and decadents and others; honor and dignity in self-sacrifice for a people and their struggle for freedom."

The man who talked to us when we were shooting. Sometimes people who is interested in a camera or a photograph talk to when we take pictures outside. He started talking about from a camera to a wartime story and he told us how he survived during the war.
When he was 15 years old, he worked to put the dead bodies in order to identify or buried them in the hole and that job made 10,000 yen in the daily wages. While there were many people returning as they see the bodies, he worked hard and started an electric shop after the war. He said with a smile " The postwar electric shop made money next to a thief."
撮影をしている時に話しかけて来たおじさん。

15歳のころ死体を片付けたり身元の確認や穴に埋める作業をして日給１万円。死体を見て帰って行く人も多い中、おじさんはこつこつ働き、戦後電気屋を開業、「戦後の電気屋なんつったら泥棒の次に儲かったよ～」と笑って教えてくれました。
Damage to her portside lifeboat caused by the collision with LNG Dubhe. Explained below.
Golden Daisy oil products tanker in Cammell Laird dry dock 5. She was involved in two collisions which has punctured her hull on the portside and ripped her portside quarter and destroyed her port lifeboat.
The first collision was with a Dutch fishing vessel - ARM 18
"Dutch fishing vessel ARM 18 struck anchored tanker GOLDEN DAISY at Ijmuiden Anchorage, Netherlands, at around 0035 UTC Sep 29. ARM 18 sustained damages, but managed to return to home port under own power. No information on tanker damages, but during Sep 29 oil leak from tanker was reported, so understood, tanker hull was breached. Anti pollution ship responded, was near tanker as of 1300 UTC Sep 29."
The second collision was with LNG Dubhe that caused the damage you see on her portside lifeboat
From her class society (ABS):

Masonic Square and Compasses.
The Square and Compasses (or, more correctly, a square and a set of compasses joined together) is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Both the square and compasses are architect's tools and are used in Masonic ritual as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct: for example, Duncan's Masonic Monitor of 1866 explains them as: "The square, to square our actions; The compasses, to circumscribe and keep us within bounds with all mankind".
However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole.
Square and Compasses:
Source: Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
These two symbols have been so long and so universally combined — to teach us, as says an early instruction, "to square our actions and to keep them within due bounds," they are so seldom seen apart, but are so kept together, either as two Great Lights, or as a jewel worn once by the Master of the Lodge, now by the Past Master—that they have come at last to be recognized as the proper badge of a Master Mason, just as the Triple Tau is of a Royal Arch Mason or the Passion Cross of a Knight Templar.
So universally has this symbol been recognized, even by the profane world, as the peculiar characteristic of Freemasonry, that it has recently been made in the United States the subject of a legal decision. A manufacturer of flour having made, in 1873, an application to the Patent Office for permission to adopt the Square and Compasses as a trade-mark, the Commissioner of Patents, .J. M. Thatcher, refused the permission as the mark was a Masonic symbol.
If this emblem were something other than precisely what it is—either less known", less significant, or fully and universally understood—all this might readily be admitted. But, Considering its peculiar character and relation to the public, an anomalous question is presented. There can be no doubt that this device, so commonly worn and employed by Masons, has an established mystic significance, universally recognized as existing; whether comprehended by all or not, is not material to this issue. In view of the magnitude and extent of the Masonic organization, it is impossible to divest its symbols, or at least this particular symbol—perhaps the best known of all—of its ordinary signification, wherever displaced, either as an arbitrary character or otherwise.
It will be universally understood, or misunderstood, as having a Masonic significance; and, therefore, as a trade-mark, must constantly work deception. Nothing could be more mischievous than to create as a monopoly, and uphold by the poser of lacy anything so calculated. as applied to purposes of trade. to be misinterpreted, to mislead all classes, and to constantly foster suggestions of mystery in affairs of business (see Infringing upon Freemasonry, also Imitative Societies, and Clandestine).
In a religious work by John Davies, entitled Summa Totalis, or All in All and the Same Forever, printed in 1607, we find an allusion to the Square and Compasses by a profane in a really Masonic sense. The author, who proposes to describe mystically the form of the Deity, says in his dedication:
Yet I this forme of formelesse Deity,
Drewe by the Squire and Compasse of our Creed.
In Masonic symbolism the Square and Compasses refer to the Freemason's duty to the Craft and to himself; hence it is properly a symbol of brotherhood, and there significantly adopted as the badge or token of the Fraternity.
Berage, in his work on the higher Degrees, Les plus secrets Mystéres des Hauts Grades, or The Most Secret Mysteries of the High Grades, gives a new interpretation to the symbol. He says: "The Square and the Compasses represent the union of the Old and New Testaments. None of the high Degrees recognize this interpretation, although their symbolism of the two implements differs somewhat from that of Symbolic Freemasonry.
The Square is with them peculiarly appropriated to the lower Degrees, as founded on the Operative Art; while the Compasses, as an implement of higher character and uses, is attributed to the Decrees, which claim to have a more elevated and philosophical foundation. Thus they speak of the initiate, when he passes from the Blue Lodge to the Lodge of Perfection, as 'passing from the Square to the Compasses,' to indicate a progressive elevation in his studies. Yet even in the high Degrees, the square and compasses combined retain their primitive signification as a symbol of brotherhood and as a badge of the Order."
Square and Compass:
Source: The Builder October 1916
By Bro. B. C. Ward, Iowa
Worshipful Master and Brethren: Let us behold the glorious beauty that lies hidden beneath the symbolism of the Square and Compass; and first as to the Square. Geometry, the first and noblest of the sciences, is the basis on which the superstructure of Masonry has been erected. As you know, the word "Geometry" is derived from two Greek words which mean "to measure the earth," so that Geometry originated in measurement; and in those early days, when land first began to be measured, the Square, being a right angle, was the instrument used, so that in time the Square began to symbolize the Earth. And later it began to symbolize, Masonically, the earthly-in man, that is man's lower nature, and still later it began to symbolize man's duty in his earthly relations, or his moral obligations to his Fellowmen. The symbolism of the Square is as ancient as the Pyramids. The Egyptians used it in building the Pyramids. The base of every pyramid is a perfect square, and to the Egyptians the Square was their highest and most sacred emblem. Even the Chinese many, many centuries ago used the Square to represent Good, and Confucius in his writings speaks of the Square to represent a Just man.
As Masons we have adopted the 47th Problem of Euclid as the rule by which to determine or prove a perfect Square. Many of us remember with what interest we solved that problem in our school days. The Square has become our most significant Emblem. It rests upon the open Bible on this altar; it is one of the three great Lights; and it is the chief ornament of the Worshipful Master. There is a good reason why this distinction has been conferred upon the Square. There can be nothing truer than a perfect Square--a right angle. Hence the Square has become an emblem of Perfection.
Now a few words as to the Compass: Astronomy was the second great science promulgated among men. In the process of Man's evolution there came a time when he began to look up to the stars and wonder at the vaulted Heavens above him. When he began to study the stars, he found that the Square was not adapted to the measurement of the Heavens. He must have circular measure; he needed to draw a circle from a central point, and so the Compass was employed. By the use of the Compass man began to study the starry Heavens, and as the Square primarily symbolized the Earth, the Compass began to symbolize the Heavens, the celestial canopy, the study of which has led men to think of God, and adore Him as the Supreme Architect of the Universe. In later times the Compass began to symbolize the spiritual or higher nature of man, and it is a significant fact that the circumference of a circle, which is a line without end, has become an emblem of Eternity and symbolizes Divinity; so the Compass, and the circle drawn by the Compass, both point men Heavenward and Godward.
The Masonic teaching concerning the two points of the Compass is very interesting and instructive. The novitiate in Masonry, as he kneels at this altar, and asks for Light sees the Square, which symbolizes his lower nature, he may well note the position of the Compass. As he takes another step, and asks for more Light, the position of the Compass is changed somewhat, symbolizing that his spiritual nature can, in some measure, overcome his evil tendencies. As he takes another step in Masonry, and asks for further Light, and hears the significant words, "and God said let there be Light, and there was Light," he sees the Compass in new light; and for the first time he sees the meaning, thus unmistakably alluding to the sacred and eternal truth that as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so the spiritual is higher than the material, and the spiritual in man must have its proper place, and should be above his lower nature, and dominate all his thoughts and actions. That eminent Philosopher, Edmund Burke, once said, "It is ordained that men of intemperate passions cannot be free. Their passions forge the chains which bind them, and make them slaves." Burke was right. Masonry, through the beautiful symbolism of the Compass, tells us how we can be free men, by permitting the spiritual within us to overcome our evil tendencies, and dominate all our thoughts and actions. Brethren, sometimes in the silent quiet hour, as we think of this conflict between our lower and higher natures, we sometimes say in the words of another, "Show me the way and let me bravely climb to where all conflicts with the flesh shall cease. Show me that way. Show me the way up to a higher plane where my body shall be servant of my Soul. Show me that way."
Brethren, if that prayer expresses desire of our hearts, let us take heed to the beautiful teachings of the Compass, which silently and persistently tells each one of us,
"You should not in the valley stay
While the great horizons stretch away
The very cliffs that wall you round
Are ladders up to higher ground.
And Heaven draws near as you ascend,
The Breeze invites, the Stars befriend.
All things are beckoning to the Best,
Then climb toward God and find sweet Rest."
Twenty members of the Toronto Triathlon Club came out for our second Swimming Skills Clinic at the North Toronto Memorial Community Centre pool. Ayesha Rollinson (ITU racer and TTC swim coach) and Kyle Smerdon (2000 Olympic Team member) provided stroke analysis and led us through stroke improvement drills.
Before we get to where I explain the pose in this shot, let me explain how I tricked Alain to pose for me.
I was about to pay for our brunch at La Ruche Restaurant when I overheard him say to a member of staff to go out with the guest book and have la Canadienne sign it. As he was talking about my wife, I knew I had an "in" as so far things had been a bit to much on the move for me to ask anyone at the restaurant to pose and I had noticed especially Alain as a potential model.
When Alain came to pick up the guest book (we scribbled half a page full by then) I asked him to pose and I guess although clearly not 100% comfortable with the idea, he felt obliged as we signed the book for him....
To calm his nerves a bit, I told him to pose anywhere in the restaurant (assuming he would choose the bar or sit at a table). However, he kept moving and directing staff (also to pose with him). So I had a hard time adjusting my shots and was happy with 8/10 in focus but not happy with 0/10 having eye contact .. (see the comment shot, which I liked because it looks like the guest in the background is taking a bite, but for the lack of eye contact I do not like as a portrait). I chose this shot as it shows the earring, the wavy hair, the sunglasses and Alain's continuous talking.
We talked for another half a minute where we exchanged cards and I found out he is not from the town of Cordon and got his name as Alain.
Looking at the restaurant's website I found out that Alain may be his last name (hence the Mr. in the title), in the converstion in mixed English and French I was not sure.
If you are in the neighbourhood, check out his restaurant where we enjoyed the "Brushetta", especially the "Savoyarde" with the local (cow's) cheese, which Alain specially explained about, was great.

Creating 3D displays for federal government venture
Synsation recently designed three customised 3D exhibition booths for NEHTA’s Model Healthcare Community launch. This exciting and accessible live demonstration is showing key federal government members and local medical communities the potential power of its solution.
The booths had to be easily transported and flexible, travelling from major capitals to rural areas, from exhibition centres to local libraries. The flowing design, bold visuals and graphic displays made it easy for NEHTA staff to simulate the technology and explain clearly what could otherwise be a complex idea. In the words of a NEHTA staff member, “everyone loved it!”

I don't know which is worse: That someone was dumb enough to put an old toilet in the alley instead of the dumpster, that someone was dumb enough to use it, that someone was dumb enough to crap on the ground next to it, or that someone was dumb enough to photograph it.
I need to go shower now.
It has taken some time to see inside of this church. Repeated attempts at either Open House or whenever up in the City, and always the same story, the doors are locked, or people entering walk right by you.
Last year I was in St Andrew Undercroft and explained how frustrated I was, and other in the GWUK group were, and was told, just ring up and access will be allowed.
I had to wait, until Christmas had passed, and so I asked among the group who were interested, and a few other like-minded souls joined my, and so this afternoon we gathered outside hopefully to be let in.
In the end, no worries, we were allowed in, and we spent a good hour inside photographing it.
St Peter now comes under the umbrella of St Helen's Bishopsgate, and so there is a mix of the traditional and modern. The church itself is used for private study, and a kitchen, apparently.
The fabric of the church is unaltered pretty much, with just the pews having been replaced with tables and chairs
-----------------------------------------------
St Peter upon Cornhill is an Anglican church on the corner of Cornhill and Gracechurch Street in the City of London of medieval origin. It was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. It is now a satellite church in the parish of St Helen's Bishopsgate and is used for staff training, bible studies and a youth club. The St Helen's church office controls access to St Peter's.[1]
The church was used by the Tank Regiment after the Second World War, subsumed under St Helen's Bishopsgate.
The church of St Peter upon Cornhill stands on the highest point of the City of London. A tradition grew up that the church was of very ancient origin and was the seat of an archbishop until coming of the Saxons in the 5th century, after which London was abandoned and Canterbury became the seat for the 6th-century Gregorian mission to the Kingdom of Kent.[2]
The London historian John Stow, writing at the end of the 16th century, reported "there remaineth in this church a table whereon is written, I know not by what authority, but of a late hand, that King Lucius founded the same church to be an archbishop's see metropolitan, and chief church of his kingdom, and that it so endured for four hundred years".[3] The "table" (tablet) seen by Stow was destroyed when the medieval church was burnt in the Great Fire,[4] but before this time a number of writers had recorded what it said. The text of the original tablet as printed by John Weever in 1631 began:
Be hit known to al men, that the yeerys of our Lord God an clxxix [AD 179]. Lucius the fyrst christen kyng of this lond, then callyd Brytayne, fowndyd the fyrst chyrch in London, that is to sey, the Chyrch of Sent Peter apon Cornhyl, and he fowndyd ther an Archbishoppys See, and made that Chirch the Metropolitant, and cheef Chirch of this kingdom...[5]
A replacement, in the form of an inscribed brass plate, was set up after the Great Fire[4] and still hangs in the church vestry today. The text of the brass plate has been printed several times, for example by George Godwin in 1839,[6] and an engraving of it was included in Robert Wilkinson's Londina Illustrata (1819–25).[7]
In 1444 a "horsemill" was given to St Peter's. The bells of St Peter are mentioned in 1552, when a bell foundry in Aldgate was asked to cast a new bell.
The church was badly damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The parish tried to patch it up, but between 1677 and 1684 it was rebuilt to a design by Christopher Wren at a cost of £5,647.[citation needed] The new church was 10 feet (3.0 m) shorter than its predecessor, the eastern end of the site having been given up to widen Gracechurch Street.[8]
St Peter's was described by Ian Nairn as having "three personalities inextricably sewn into the City".[9] The eastern frontage to Gracechurch Street is a grand stone-faced composition, with five arched windows between Ionic pilasters above a high stylobate. The pilasters support an entablature; above that is a blank attic storey, then a gable with one arched window flanked by two round ones. The north and south sides are stuccoed and much simpler in style. Unusually, shallow 19th-century shops have survived towards Cornhill, squeezed between the church and the pavement. The tower is of brick, its leaded cupola topped with a small spire, which is in turn surmounted by a weather vane in the shape of St. Peter’s key.[6][10]
The interior is aisled, with square arcade piers[11] resting on the medieval pier foundations. The nave is barrel vaulted, while the aisles have transverse barrel vaults.[10] Unusually for a Wren church, there is a screen marking the division between nave and chancel. This was installed at the insistence of the rector at the time of rebuilding, William Beveridge.[12]
Charles Dickens mentions the churchyard in "Our Mutual Friend". A theatre group called The Players of St Peter were formed at the church in 1946 and performed there until 1987.[13] They are now based at St Clement Eastcheap where its members perform medieval mystery plays each November.
The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.

Another of those interesting bumps in the ground that need to be researched and explained. This lies in a narrow isthmus of the Parish of Pott Shrigley which bumps up against the three adjacent parishes of Lyme Handley, Poynton and Adlington and makes for some interesting coal mining development on the different estates.
In the late 1840s the land here was in the ownership of the executors of the late William Turner, textile manufacturer from Blackburn who had purchased a lot of Pott Shrigley from the Downes family in the early nineteenth century and then moved into their ancestral home at Shrigley Hall. The 1848 tithe map shows a trackway from a wharf on the canal to the site of this pit and I suspect that coal was being trammed up to the boats at this time by the lessees Samuel Hunt & Co. By the early 1880s the pit was being operated by the Needham family who had originated in nearby Worth but had for many years operated collieries in Hurdsfield, Macclesfield. George Needham is listed as owner and manager in an 1884 list of collieries, but he had died in 1880 and I suspect that by then the colliery was being run by his son Joseph who was living with his family at Red Acre at the time of the 1881 census. He stated his occupation as Engine Man as he had been since the 1850s at Hurdsfield. By 1888 operations appear to have ceased and the tramway is noted as disused. Joseph went off to Chorlton to become a coal merchant.
The tramroad embankment is seen running in from the right side of the photograph and the spoil tip of the pit is left centre. The extract from the 1882 Ordnance Survey map has the tramroad alignment running up from the bottom and the position from which the photograph was taken marked with a red X. The shaft here was 255ft deep to the Arley seam which is locally known as the Redacre Mine and is about 2ft thick. It is a good quality coal and burned well when I tried the pieces collected from the spoil tip.

I was taking a picture of uneaten blackberries left on a plate. I set the shutter speed long enough to move away from the plate during the exposure.

15/02/10 - Afghanistan : Operation BULL TRACK
Saturday, February 13, 2010, the Task Force Lafayette led a major route reconnaissance along the MSR VERMONT between forward operating base and the town of Nijrab Mahmud-e-Raqia. The area has become dangerous since the explosion of two improvised explosive devices (IED - IED), the means used were consistent.
Captain V., coordinator of the Engineering Brigade, details all of his device: "For this mission we have set up a section of engineers of Task Force BLACK ROCK, posting Route Opening (DOI) composed of Buffalo, and the Souvim Lemir, two teams of specialized operational searches (FOS), a team WIT (Weapon intelligence team) and finally the elements of observation and clearance (EOD).
To ensure the smooth running of the mission, the infantry platoons were deployed around the axis to create a security cordon. In addition, direct support platoon consists of three equipped with VAB 20 mm cannon, a turret VAB TV and made an AMX 10RC providing coverage at close range while the 120 mm mortar stand ready to act further in the device. In total more than 400 French soldiers and Afghan are present along the road.
The mission can begin. Lt. S., advisor to the Task Force FSO BLACK ROCK, explains in detail the purpose of his mission: "Part of the asphalt road is too thick to detect any son, my team will probe the vicinity of axis focusing on the great discovery that connects the lines. Here, our sensor cable is able to locate a possible line of fire and then by estimating the angle, we can identify the location of IEE. If this is the case and that the explosive device is visible we'll call the EOD team. If it is buried in the earth, the Buffalo can intervene.
Finally any IED only be detected. Used to secure the logistics convoys VULCAIN Task Force on the road, the IC of the Route Opening explains: "This operation is crucial for two reasons. First it shows the locals that we are active against the threat and secondly, it allows the avoidance of doubt on the presence of IEDs son and therefore sleeping. This reassures us that we are doing this trip regularly.
Having surveyed the roadside more than 3 km for several hours, the engineers removed any suspected improvised explosive device in the area. However we must remain vigilant as confirmed by the coordinator of the Engineering Brigade: "the route is clear but there is nothing that says that tomorrow or in three days it will still be the case, he must either post elements monitoring before the passage of a convoy or redo a route reconnaissance.
