View over the river Dee. Flint Castle is also famous as the location of a fateful meeting in 1399 between Richard II and his rival to the crown Henry Bolingbroke (later Henry IV), an event immortalised in Shakespeare’s Richard II.
Located in Flint Hill is the commercial building at 650 Zachary Taylor Highway (078-5018-0007, 1922), now functioning as the Skyward Cafe (formerly Four and Twenty Blackbird Restaurant). Measuring three bays in width, the wood-frame building features a flush façade, a two-story porch, and an inset central entry flanked by multi-light commercial display windows. The building is detailed with a bracketed and paneled parapet, hiding the shed roof and recalling the influences of the previously fashionable Italianate style.

BUCKEYE LAKE FLINT MAN?
I have identified what appears to be a worked cobble of Flint Ridge flint which strongly resembles a life-size human skull, and human facial profiles, from multiple viewing angles and distances. It stands upright on its own base (anatomically the neck) and would have made a suitable sculpture for display or ceremonial alter use. It has possible hand grips from the rear as if to animate the skull by having fine control of its movement pivoting on its base, puppet-like. I found the piece on my property at 306 Lake Shore Dr W in Hebron, Ohio, Licking Township, Licking County. When my home foundation was dug to a depth of about 6 feet, some flint blocks (flint ridge, coschocton black, cherts, etc) were found, along with other hardstone rocks, and saved for use in a rock garden, piled rising three feet up to my screened porch overlooking what was once called “buffalo swamp.” This piece has likely been sitting, exposed, since 1937, in this rock garden until I picked it up and was startled to find a face looking back at me. When it then sat perfectly balanced in the upright “statue” pose, I determined there was too much happening with this stone to leave it outside any longer. It is a flint base with a possible addition of a concrete material as filler where no flint was present, and finished in a white plaster of which there may be some residual material. The piece weighs 12.1 lbs, an anatomically correct weight for the head of an approximately 150lb human. It has discernable and dramatic eye sockets, forehead, a nose, mouth, ears, neck, fully rounded skull. It can be appreciated from every angle as you walk around the sculpture. The aesthetic of the human form is unmistakable in multiple expressions.
The artifact is so perfectly balanced on its base, I was confident enough to place it on top of a Ball canning jar and a terry washcloth as a display pedestal. AI large part of the weight of the artifact, almost ½ is weighted toward the rear of the skull which hangs. However, the slightest nudge and the weight of the entire object is thrown and it topples over.
Now, the business of studying this thing.

This is St Bernard's, a Catholic church at Shirehampton. Is it the only building in Bristol that's made from flint?
Before the 19th century local materials were used in all but the most high-status buildings. Flint occurs in chalk, and the closest chalk to Bristol must be around Westbury in Wiltshire. Considered as a building stone it is most unsuitable. It occurs in knobbly, irregularly shaped nodes. It is extremely hard and difficult to trim ...a process known as "knapping"... and, because flints are small, there is not much left once the excess material has been taken off.
Of course flint was commonly used throughout the chalk districts of England , but this was only because there was nothing else. the only alternative was timber. To go to all the trouble of bringing it a considerable distance when much cheaper, easier-to-use building materials were available, seems perverse.
But by the time this church was built, presumably late in the 19th century, railways and improved roads had greatly reduced the cost and inconvenience of bringing stone from remote places. Nowadays stone is hardly quarried at all for building purposes and transport is so cheap and easy that the trade can be supplied from hundreds of miles away. Materials look much the same everywhere from Land's End to John o' Groats.

Mission Statement: To provide a museum to collect, display, preserve, and tell the story of wind power from its origination through the American Windmill to the present day.
The Kendallville Windmill Museum and Historical Society was incorporated in 1992 under the auspices of the Kendallville Local Development Corporation to create a tourist attraction for the area. The Board decided on the name "Mid-America Windmill Museum".
The museum is governed by a 21 member board of directors. The board members are elected by the dues paying members of the Kendallville Windmill Museum & Historical Society, and the officers are elected by the directors. The board of directors and volunteers restore and maintain the windmills, the buildings, the grounds, staff the gift shop, and serve as museum guides.
There are a total of fifty-two windmills that have been restored and are on exhibit in the museum barn or outside on the museum grounds. A highlight of the museum is a replica of the Robertson Post windmill, a single stone grist mill with a 52 foot diameter wind wheel. The original Robertson was shipped from England and erected on the James River near Jamestown, VA. in the 1620's.

[4] A friend who talked to people who lived near by knew of the murder of the man possibly buried to day. He was being stalked by an ex girl friend. Possibly this was a retaliation for bad acts of the girl friend. I am sure the rumors are multiplying. I took a 100 Nikon Pictures this one is from the Droid.

Not going to lie, I have a feeling this winter is going to be a long one that will probably involve a lot of whiskey to stay warm on these cold winter nights. I'm just happy that I have friends with similar hobbies. You know, skateboarding, listening to good music, dimly lit bars, and of course the good old whiskey and Cokes.
On the day of this photograph it was suppose to be almost fifty degrees and sunny; I don't believe it ever got above forty degrees and I couldn't tell you what the sun looked like today. The only good part about the clouds seemed to be that with the clouds there was soft lighting and no harsh shadows.
I need to start bundling up, snow is right around the corner. We'll have to see how it effects my shooting considering A.) I don't like cold weather and B.) I don't like shooting indoors much.

Jason and I first started talking via e-mail in the spring/summer of 2006 through skateboarding. I'm not exactly sure what the conversations were about, but I want to think it was something about our skate spot we had built on Kearsley street or possibly it was about graffiti. Regardless I remember the first time we actually met was at a Captive demo; I showed him a hoodie I had made and he was hyped on it and wanted to start making his own clothes too.
Jason had told me he used to skateboard when he was younger then kind of had a falling out where he either didn't do it very much or not at all, I can't exactly remember right now, but he wanted to get back into it, and so he did. The amount of change I've seen in Jason's skateboarding over these past two years seems simply awesome. He has and is getting more and more tricks under his belt most everytime I see him.
Not to mention he still has an amazing sense and ideas for street art and D.I.Y. projects whether it is putting up wheat paste posters, stenciling shirts then returning them to get his clothing in stores, or just a new theory on how to break skateboarding tricks down into littler steps to make them make more sense and more possible.
Happy Furry Friday from Flint who can finally walk outside. He refuses to walk in the snow, he can finally go out since it has melted enough to bare some spots for him to walk on.
