hello... I'm still figuring out the Lomo Instant Wide I got for Christmas. Unfortunately, I am having some problems with it. The blanks from the beginning of the pack of film are getting stuck and I end up having to gently (as possible) the rock the whole pack out and extract (back through the camera) the blank. Obviously, that first piece of film is ruined, but after that everything works okay. I'm in email conversation with Lomo about this.
Other than that, I'm happy with the camera. It seems to pull in more light than the mini, so I'm trying to get used to that. The remote shutter device works...most of the time. I haven't played much with the close up or wide angle lenses. I do like the ability to turn off the flash completely, use a bulb setting, and make multiple exposures.
I do hope we can figure out what's up with the camera...that is, I hope Lomo offers me a solution!
Well after all this time, i finally bottled my vanilla. It tastes really great. Never again will i buy vanilla from the shops :)
Left hand side photo showing the Club house building of KBGC in the early days, year unknown but looks pre-war. The building has a pitched roof and verandahs surrounding indoor portion. There was a flight of stairs extended from the middle of first floor to the lawn, where Club members can direct access to the green.
Right hand side photo showing what it is now, the same elevation no longer see the verandah and the stairs, as over the years there were two additions - the first addition was the wings at each side of the clubhouse, each having a semicircular parapet wall on first floor, then comes the building extension joining these 2 early added structures, occupying the former front section of the original clubhouse building where there was a flight of staircase to the green. With these 2 additions, the usable floor area has significantly increased.
When were these additions carried out ?
Extracted from KBGC official information -
KBGC was founded in 1900 by nine gentlemen eager for some recreational facilities. Although not the oldest club in Hong Kong, KBGC is certainly the oldest Lawn Bowls Club and one that has been synonymous with the development of the sport in Hong Kong.
During World War II and the occupation of Hong Kong the clubhouse was used for accommodation to house Japanese Officers and the Bowling Greens were dug up to produce agricultural crops to feed them.
The KBGC Clubhouse was declared a Grade 3 Heritage Building by the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the HKSAR in 2010.
Early photos about this area most appreciated.

Early morning below the tide line at Cox Bay near Tofino. The only other activity on the expanse of beach - a couple of Robins expertly extracting invisible sea worms for breakfast. There appeared to be nothing visible in the sand yet about every 4-6 swift jabs produced a tasty wriggle instantly swallowed.

In the Beginning:
As Anglican Parishes go , the Parish Of Burnopfield is relatively new one , being formed as recently as 1871. The church of St. James (the Greater) followed in 1873. Prior to this our parish was part of the Ancient Chapelry of Tanfield. This Chapelry stretched from South Stanley in the south to the river Derwent in the north and from Andrew,s House in the east to Powburn in the west. The Chapelry of Tanfield in turn had constituted the 5th Preband (revenue from the manor) in the Collegiate Church of Chester (le-Street). The Dean was bound to maintain a Chaplain at Tanfield , and, on the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538, some provision was made out of the small tithes for support of a perpetual Curate.
During the 18th century the Chapelry of Tanfield was governed by the Vestrymen. These were usually twelve of the most influential and wealthiest land owners , or their agents in the Parish. from Burnopfield we had a fair share of representatives, William Newton of Burnopfield House, Samuel Newton his brother from Crookgate, Robert Robinson from Bryan’s Leap and John Scafe. By the late 19th Vestrymen lost much of their power. the population of the Tanfield parish grew substantially , due mainly to the coal trade.
In 1863 the Lintz Colliery Company opened a school for children of its workers. for a number of years the school was used to hold regular services for the Burnopfield community.By 1871 the growth of the population and the number of people attending the services the School it became impractical to hold services at the school. Te Rev’d Stirrup along with Mr John Murray approached Mr R.H Murray , an owner of land in Burnopfield from Careham Hall , Northumberland , to see if he would donate land for the Church. This he did with along with this he donated a £100.

Birnbeck Pier holds a unique place among British Piers, being the only one that links to an offshore island. This natural pier-head could probably be considered as the most obvious use of the small island during the heyday of pier building, and it is somewhat surprising that it took so long to come to fruition. Work had originally begun in 1847 on a suspension bridge to link to the island, but proved so problematic that it was later abandoned, and it took a further 20 years before the townsfolk were again rallied into providing the funds for Weston-super Mare's first pier.
Costing £20,000, and designed by the famous engineer Eugenius Birch, the foundation stone of Birnbeck Pier was laid on 28th October 1864. As this was considered locally to be such an important event, the day was declared a public holiday. The son of the local Lord, four-year-old Cecil Hugh Symth Pigott, was invited to perform the opening ceremony to the peeling of church bells and a cannon salute. Three years later the pier was complete, opening on 6th June 1867. Consisting of a 1,040ft (315m), iron and timber promenade to Birnbeck Island, with a concrete landing jetty extending a further 99ft (30m), Birnbeck Pier also had a small pavilion. By 1872 the concrete jetty was dismantled and replaced by a wooden one on the more sheltered northern side of the island.
1882 saw the first lifeboat stationed on the island, slung from a set of davits, and further improved facilities for the island were made possible as a result of Birnbeck Pier's prosperity from regular steamer traffic. New refreshment rooms were built along with a large concert hall, reading rooms and a much-needed extension to the pavilion. Four years later a new low water jetty opened on the southwest side of Birnbeck Pier, and in 1889 a purpose built lifeboat house was finally constructed. As the pier-head was an island, as opposed to being an integral part of the iron structure, all buildings had the advantage of being constructed of stone. This didn't prevent them suffering badly from fire damage and most structures, with the exception of the switchback railway, were destroyed on Boxing Day 1897.
The turn of the new century saw the Birnbeck Pier Company's fortune's change. Although a new lifeboat station had been built to the south side of the pier in 1901, the low water and north jetties were both destroyed in a gale in 1903. A year later, despite vigorously campaigning against the parliamentary bill to allow the construction of a new pier, the Company were forced to witness the opening of a rival - the Grand Pier - further along the resort. The north jetty of Birnbeck Pier was rebuilt in steel and reopened in 1905, but the low water jetty remained closed until 1910.
In 1909 plans for a concrete platform on the south side came to fruition, increasing the pier area by nearly half an acre, and allowing for many new rides to be installed. This effort to attract customers from its nearby rival was successful, and throughout the 1920s and early 1930s Birnbeck Pier again prospered. However, when the new funfair opened on Grand Pier this signalled the gradual decline of Birnbeck Pier.
Taken over by the Admiralty in 1941, as HMS Birnbeck, the complex was used as a secret weapon testing facility. On one occasion serious damage was incurred by a Lancaster Bomber dropping a very large piece of reinforced concrete. After hostilities had ceased the pier was handed back to the owners, and steamer services resumed. In 1962 the Birnbeck Pier was purchased by the steamer operating company, P & A Campbell's, but as passenger numbers fell their ownership was short lived. John Critchley bought Birnbeck Pier in 1972 and it enjoyed a temporary revival as a Victorian pleasure centre. It was grade II listed by the Department of the Environment in 1974 but, by 1975, it was again on the market. On 19th October 1979 the last scheduled sailing from Birnbeck Pier was made by the MV Balmoral, marking the end of 92 years of service in the Bristol Channel by P & A Campbell's.
In 1989 hopes were raised for the near derelict pier's long term future when a prospective buyer, Phillip Stubbs, announced a scheme to construct a new multi-million pound marina complex. These plans collapsed when the Nature Conservancy Council intervened. Birnbeck Pier suffered extensive storm damage in 1990, and it was finally closed to the public by the local authority in 1994.
So, what of the pier's future today? Like many piers its survival hangs in the balance. But Birnbeck Pier, like Brighton West, holds much affection within the local community and all the while that this remains the case, a major part of Weston-super-Mare's heritage may yet be saved for future generations to enjoy.

Senegambian stone circles: The Senegambian stone circles / megaliths lie in central Senegal and in The Gambia north of Janjanbureh.
With an approximate area of 30,000 km², they are sometimes divided into the Wassu (Gambian) and Sine-Saloum (Senegalese) circles, but this is purely a national division. According to UNESCO, the Senegambian stone circles are "the largest concentration of stone circles seen anywhere in the world." These sites, Wassu, and Kerbatch in Gambia, and Wanar and Sine Ngayene in Senegal, represent an extraordinary concentration of more than 1,000 stone circles and related tumuli spread over a territory of 100 km wide and 350 km in length, along the River Gambia.
Researchers are not certain when these monuments were built, but the generally accepted range is between the third century B.C. and the sixteenth century AD. Archaeologists have also found pottery sherds, human burials, and some grave goods and metals around the megalithic circles.
Among these four main areas, there are approximately 29,000 stones, 17,000 monuments, and 2,000 individual sites. The monuments consist of what were originally upright blocks or pillars (some have collapsed), made of mostly laterite with smooth surfaces. The monoliths are found in circles, double circles, isolated or standing apart from circles (usually to the east) in rows or individually. These stones that are found standing apart outside the circles are called frontal stones. When there are frontal stones in two parallel, connected rows, they are called lyre-stones.
The construction of the stone monuments shows evidence of a prosperous and organized society based on the amount of labor required to build such structures. The stones were extracted from laterite quarries using iron tools, although few of these quarries have been identified as directly linked to particular sites. After extracting the stone, identical pillars were made, either cylindrical or polygonal, with averages at two meters high and seven tons.] The builders of these megaliths are unknown. Possible candidates are the ancestors of the Jola / Diola people, the Wolof or the Serer people.
Sine Ngayene is the largest of the four areas, and home of 52 stone circles, one double circle, and 1102 carved stones. It is generally accepted that the single burials found here predate the multiple burials that are associated with the construction of the stone circles. The site of Sine Ngayene is located just Northwest of Sine, Senegal, at the coordinates of 15°32′W, 13°41′N.
In 2002, an expedition was launched in the Petit-Bao-Bolong drainage tributary; it was called Sine-Ngayene Archaeological Project (SNAP). The team found iron smelting sites and quarries located close to the monument sites. They also found evidence of hundreds of homes nearby, dating around the time of the monuments, clustered in groups of 2–5 with remnants of house floors and pottery shards. This evidence suggests the existence of small, linked yet independent communities. Researchers also suggest the possibility that these megalithic cemeteries could have been a focal spot of the cultural landscape and served the purpose of bringing people together.
The site of Sine Ngayene has a Y-shaped central axis with a double circle (called Diallombere) located at the center of the three branches. Originally this site was surrounded by hundreds of tumuli (burial mounds) that leveled over time through erosion. Evidence suggests that the burials occurred first with the stones being erected later, exclusively for the burials. Often frontal stones were erected on the East side of the stone circles. Archaeologists at Sine Ngayene have constructed a timeline with four distinct, successive cycles. These cycles are based on materials buried in successive layers and the monument construction chronology of the double circle at the center of the site. The approximate date range assigned to this timeline ranges from 700 A.D. to 1350 A.D

C.F. Sauer Company - maker of spices, flavoring extracts and other food products, celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2012.
The Apatanis follow a religion known as Donyi-Polo, which means they are animists. They ritually sacrifice animals. Before the actual sacrifice, the shaman killed a chicken and some birds so the bird'slivers could be "read" by the shaman and the elders. The idea being that the liver would foretell if the the forthcoming ritual sacrifice was a go well.
My idea is not to shock,merely to record what happens.
Extract from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage's website:
"Caringbah Railway Station - including the 1939 platform and platform building, stairs and identified moveable items and landscaping - is of local heritage significance. Caringbah Railway Station is of historical significance as part of the Cronulla line, a major 1930s Depression-era public work, and through its relationship to the development of the suburb of Caringbah and the broader Sutherland Shire region. The Caringbah Railway Station platform building is of aesthetic significance as a fine example of an Inter-war Functionalist style station building, similar to other original 1939 Cronulla line suburban platform buildings in design and style (six suburban stations were built from Sutherland to Woolooware, five now extant).
"The signalling board at Caringbah Railway Station is of technical significance as a good representative example of a 1930s 'electro pneumatic system’ signalling board with light signalling (other examples at Sutherland, Gymea and Oatley)."
