On 9/27/14 - 142 volunteers removed enough trash to completely fill a 40 dumpster which included 290 trash bags of litter from Bread and Cheese Creek (from the Berkshire Community to North Point Boulevard) and North Point Road. These photos show them hard at work on this day! 10 tires, 6 shopping carts, 4 cans of paint, 3 rugs, 2 TV’s, a mattress and box spring, a reclining couch, a 55 gallon drum, and a toilet were all items that were removed from this historic stream. Additionally 1 ton of metal was pulled from the creek and will be recycled with the money going toward helping to pay for our next cleanup. All food left over will be donated to Rita’s Table a local food kitchen dedicated to helping feed the needy of Dundalk. Thank you Volunteers you are worth your weight in gold and more!!!
We are a group of volunteers who worked with the community in association with National Public Lands Day, the Ocean Conservancy, American Rivers, Trash Free Maryland, and Day to Serve on this cleanup.
We would like to Thank Entenmann’s Baker Outlet for donating donuts; Re/Max Realty for donating hotdogs and a hotdog cart for the day; Lafarge for donating pulled pork, potato chips and soda; and Gotugo for donating a portable restroom for the event!

In 1494, the Jewish square unter the name of Schulhof (Schoolyard) formed the central center of the Jewish Town which was first mentioned in 1294 as the "schoolyard of the Jews". The Jewish city stretched to the north to the church of Saint Mary on the Strand, the western side was bounded by the Deep Ditch, the east side by the Tuchlauben. The south side was formed by the square Am Hof/At Court. The ghetto comprised 70 houses arranged in a way that their back walls formed a closed bounding wall. The ghetto could be entered through four gates; the two main entrances were on Wipplinger street (Wiltwercherstrass). The square was surrounded by fifteen houses and five streets led to it. Around 1400, 800 inhabitants lived here: traders, creditors, scholars in Kammerknechtschaft (Servi camerae regis (Latin: "servants of the royal chamber", German: "Kammerknechtschaft") was the status of the Jews in Christian Europe in the Middle Ages).
On the place itself was located the synagogue (mentioned for the first time in 1204), the only stone building among the private and communal houses, which occupied a third of the square in the west, the hospital (now Jewish square No. 10, House of the Cooperative of the Dressmakers), the house of the rabbi and the Jewish school on the grounds of the municipal garden (now the Collaltopalais), which was one of the most important in the German-speaking world. Here famous rabbis taught and worked and turned the city into a center of Jewish knowledge. After the school, the square then was named "Schoolyard". Later, this name was transferred to the smaller square of the Jewish Garden lain to the north behind the church At Court, which still today is listening to this name. The original school yard has been given the name "New Square" (on the Newn plac) since 1423, since 1437 it is called Jewish square.
For the construction of the memorial to the Austrian Jewish victims of the Shoa excavations were carried out from July 1995 to November 1998. These are regarded as the most important urban core investigations in Vienna. On the eastern half of the square were furthermore found the dry-stone walls, a well and cellars of a whole block of houses, which had stood here at the time of the synagogue. The in 1995 excavated remains under the Jewish square of the in 1421 destroyed synagogue bear testimony of the medieval community life and its destruction. In 2000, the Museum Jewish square was opened as the second location of the Jewish Museum in Vienna. In this museum, a permanent exhibition on the history of the Jewish square as well as the foundations of the destroyed Or-Sarua Synagogue can be visited directly under the memorial (see also: Jews in Vienna).
The complete redevelopment of the square and its conversion to the pedestrian zone was completed in autumn 2000 with the inauguration of the Holocaust memorial. The city of Vienna was awarded the special prize of the City of Vicenza in Italy for the design of the Jewish square by the Dedalo Minosse International Prize's Jury.
Der Judenplatz bildete unter dem Namen „Schulhof“ bis 1421 den zentral gelegenen Mittelpunkt der Judenstadt, der 1294 als „Schulhof der Juden“ erstmals erwähnt wurde. Die Judenstadt erstreckte sich nach Norden bis zur Kirche Maria am Gestade, die Westseite wurde vom Tiefen Graben, die Ostseite von den Tuchlauben begrenzt. Die Südseite bildete der Platz Am Hof. Das Ghetto umfasste 70 Häuser, die so angeordnet waren, dass ihre Rückwände eine geschlossene Begrenzungsmauer bildeten. Durch vier Tore konnte das Ghetto betreten werden, die beiden Haupteingänge lagen an der Wipplingerstraße (Wiltwercherstrass). Der Platz wurde von fünfzehn Häusern umsäumt und fünf Straßenzüge mündeten in ihn. Um 1400 lebten hier 800 Einwohner: Händler, Kreditgeber, Gelehrte in Kammerknechtschaft.
Am Platz selbst befanden sich die Synagoge (erstmals 1204 erwähnt), der einzige Steinbau unter den Privat- und Gemeindehäusern, die im Westen ein Drittel des Platzes einnahm, das Spital (heute Judenplatz Nr. 10, Haus der Genossenschaft der Kleidermacher), das Haus des Rabbis und die Judenschule auf dem Grunde des Gemeindegartens (jetzt das Collaltopalais), die eine der bedeutendsten des deutschsprachigen Raumes war. Hier lehrten und wirkten berühmte Rabbiner und machten die Stadt zu einem Zentrum jüdischen Wissens. Nach der Schule führte der Platz damals seinen Namen „Schulhof“. Später wurde dieser Name auf den nördlich gelegenen kleineren Platz des Judengartens hinter der Kirche am Hof übertragen, der heute noch so heißt. Dem ursprünglichen Schulhof gab man seit 1423 die Bezeichnung „Neuer Platz“ (an dem Newn placz), seit 1437 heißt er Judenplatz.
Für die Errichtung des Mahnmals für die österreichischen jüdischen Opfer der Shoa wurden von Juli 1995 bis November 1998 Ausgrabungen durchgeführt. Diese gelten als die bedeutendsten Stadtkernuntersuchungen in Wien. Auf der östlichen Hälfte des Platzes wurden außerdem die Bruchsteinmauern, ein Brunnen und Keller eines ganzen Häuserblocks gefunden, der zur Zeit der Synagoge hier gestanden war. Die 1995 unter dem Judenplatz ausgegrabenen Überreste der 1421 zerstörten Synagoge geben Zeugnis des mittelalterlichen Gemeindelebens und dessen Vernichtung. Im Jahr 2000 wurde das Museum Judenplatz als zweiter Standort des Jüdischen Museums Wien eröffnet. In ihm sind eine Dauerausstellung über die Geschichte des Judenplatzes sowie die Fundamente der zerstörten Or-Sarua-Synagoge direkt unter dem Mahnmal zu besichtigen (siehe auch: Juden in Wien).
Die komplette Neugestaltung des Platzes und seine Umwandlung zur Fußgängerzone wurde im Herbst 2000 mit der Einweihung des Holocaust-Mahnmals abgeschlossen. Die Stadt Wien wurde für die Gestaltung des Judenplatzes von der „Dedalo Minosse International Prize's Jury“ mit dem Spezialpreis der Stadt Vicenza in Italien 2002 ausgezeichnet.
museumPASSmusees 2021 - BAM - Fernando Botero - Au dela des formes
BAM (Beaux-Arts Mons)
Pour la premiere fois en Belgique, dans le cadre de la Biennale d'Art et de Culture de la Federation Wallonie-Bruxelles a Mons, le BAM consacre au peintre et sculpteur colombien Fernando Botero une vaste retrospective du 9 octobre 2021 au 30 janvier 2022.
Depuis ses recherches de jeunesse, peu connues du grand public, jusqu'aux oeuvres iconiques de la maturite, dont des toiles recentes presentees pour la premiere fois, cette exposition d'envergure brassera l'ensemble de la carriere de l'artiste.
Reputee pour ses personnages aux formes rondes et voluptueuses, l'oeuvre de Botero est le resultat d'une recherche exigeante et determinee, dans lequel l'artiste s'est engage il y a plus de 70 ans.
A l'heure ou, plus que jamais, le sens commun est en peril, l'exposition interroge la maniere dont une oeuvre, bien que personnelle et situee, parvient a developper un langage universel et accessible. Le parcours emportera les visiteurs dans l'univers foisonnant de Botero, inspire tant par l'art precolombien et l'iconographie populaire que par les muralistes mexicains ou l'art de la Renaissance italienne.
L'exposition Fernando Botero. Au-dela des formes rassemblera des oeuvres importantes empruntees a de prestigieux musees, comme le Gunggenheim de New-York, dont des peintures historiques rarement montrees au public europeen. Des toiles, dessins et sculptures appartenant a des collections privees internationales, notamment de Colombie, seront egalement presents.
Au centre du parcours d'exposition, une quinzaine d'oeuvres issues des collections meconnues du BAM illustreront les inspirations majeures de l'artiste colombien autour de differentes thematiques : natures mortes, nus, scenes de genre...

Field Marshal Harold Rupert Leofric George Alexander, 1st Earl Alexander of Tunis, KG, OM, GCB, GCSI, GCMG, GCVO, DSO, MC, LL.D, PC (10 December 1891 - 16 June 1969) was a British military commander and field marshal, notably during the Second World War as the commander of the 15th Army Group. He later served as the last British Governor General of Canada.
The third son of the 4th Earl of Caledon (a descendant of the Alexanders of Limavady, fCounty Londonderry) and the former Lady Elizabeth Graham-Toler, a daughter of the 3rd Earl of Norbury,
He was commissioned into the Irish Guards in 1911. During the First World War, Alexander's battalion formed a part of the original British Expeditionary Force (BEF), in which he was a 22-year-old lieutenant and platoon commander.
Alexander became the youngest lieutenant-colonel in the British Army during the war, and when the Great War ended he was in temporary command of a brigade. He served on the Western Front and was wounded twice in four years of fighting. He received the Military Cross in 1915, the Distinguished Service Order in 1916, and the Legion of Honour, and by 1918 was an acting brigadier.
Rudyard Kipling, who wrote a history of the Irish Guards in which his own son fought and was killed, noted that, "It is undeniable that Colonel Alexander had the gift of handling the men on the lines to which they most readily responded . . . his subordinates loved him, even when he fell upon them blisteringly for their shortcomings; and his men were all his own."
In 1919 - 1920 Alexander led the Baltic German Landeswehr in the Latvian War of Independence, commanding units loyal to the Republic of Latvia in the successful drive to eject the Bolsheviks from Latgale[3]. He later served in Turkey and Gibraltar before returning to England and the Staff College, Camberley and the Imperial Defence College. In 1937 he was promoted to major-general.

El complejo de edificios que forman la Villa del Casale es el descubrimiento arqueoógico más importante de la Sicilia Romana. La lujosa vila de campo que se cree perteneció a la familia imperial de Masimiliano Ercúleo, está situada en el fértil valle del río Gela y fue construida entre finales del siglo III y primeros años del siglo IV dC en el centro de un latifundio rural.De acuerdo con Vinicio Gentili, al que se debe su descubrimiento arqueoógico, el mayor esplendor de la villa fueron los siglos IV y V dC. El latifundio estaba formado por una aldea rural, "mansiones" y cortijos donde los eclavos y "procuratores" labraban la tierra. El gran interéa que suscita la visita de la villa es debido fundamentalmente a los mosaicos que cubren los suelos de todas las habitaciones, galerías y termas y que constituyen un conjunto de singular beleza.
El mosaico de mayor interés es el que recubre el pasillo cubierto llamado "de la caza mayor", con detalles que ilustran las distintas fases de la captura, transporte y muerte de los animales en un escenario puramente africano.
Otro mosaicos de interés es el de la caza menor, en el que ademá de representarse diversas escenas de caza menor se representa en el centro una escena de sacrificio ritual a la diosa de la Caza Artemisa o Diana.
Otros mosaicos interesantes son el del "cubiculum de la escena erótica";el de la sala de "las diez jóvenes hijas", en el que diez doncellas estan representadas vistiendo bikinis en elmomento de realizar ejercicios gimnásticos o de recibir premios.

Safari 3.0 beta finally has form widgets that can be styled nicely and de-aquafied. Select elements can be restyled by changing the border element using CSS, the above has border: 1px solid #ccc; set which appears to de-aquafy quite nicely.
Text boxes can be resized on the fly too, there's a dragger down the bottom right corner.. Very nice indeed.
Don't forget to uninstall SafariStand... it prevented my 3.0 install from rendering pages.
The radius of the curves that I want to end up with is 16'. In order to allow for the "spring back" of the steel, the bending form is 10' radius. The form is mounted to a hydraulic jack and Harbor Freight pipe bender. I used chains to restrain the ends of the tubing during the bend. Everything is mounted to the steel edge of my outdoor workbench.

"The Whitehaven Rocket Brigade was formed in 1849 when the first shore-to-ship rescue device was bought for the town. The volunteers, who would support the lifeboatmen, would haul the apparatus on a wagon to where a stricken ship was floundering off shore. The rockets, carrying ropes, were fired out and once received on board, a much heavier cable could be drawn across, facilitating the use of a breeches-buoy to rescue stranded crew and passengers. " From the Whitehaven News.
The Rocket Brigade HQ was the Watchtower on the Old New Quay at Whitehaven, now preserved as part of the Whitehaven Beacon Museum.
In the 1950s, the British Royal Air Force was aware that the Canberra bomber would need to be replaced, and in 1956 a specification for its replacement with additional strike and reconnaissance roles was drafted in the form of GOR (General Operational Requirement) 339. This specification was exceptionally ambitious for the technology of the day, requiring a supersonic all-weather aircraft that could deliver nuclear weapons over a long range, operate at high level at Mach 2+ or low level at Mach 1.2, with a short takeoff ability from rough and ready airstrips. As this specification was being studied by various manufacturers, the first of the political storms that were to dog the project reared its head, the then defence minister Duncan Sandys stating in the 1957 Defence White Paper that the era of manned combat was at an end and that guided missiles were all that would be needed in future. Within a decade this philosophy became thoroughly discredited, but at the time and in the climate of the cold war and "mutual deterrence" it doubtless appeared to make some sense, especially as it seemed that guided missiles would offer significant cost savings over manned aircraft.
Another political matter that did not help was the mutual distrust between the various services - the Air Force was looking at GOR 339, but it was alleged that the development of a supersonic version of the subsonic Blackburn Buccaneer for the Royal Navy was competitive with this project. The RAF claims that it did not ignore or deride the project (as politicians such as Denis Healey claimed) but in fact invited Blackburn to submit a pre-tender brochure for consideration and discussion. However, the requirement was for a Mach 2 aircraft, not a subsonic one, and the STOL requirement was intended to allow the aircraft to operate from roads and bush runways in a similar manner to the Saab Draken; the Blackburn Buccaneer required a shipborne steam catapult to achieve short take off. Although various proposals, now under the designation OR (Operational Requirement) 343, were submitted, in 1959 the go-ahead was given for the BAC entry, named the TSR-2, for Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance 2. The origin of the '2' is unclear; it has been suggested that the Canberra, which at the time fulfilled that particular role, was considered in official circles to be the TSR-1, or alternatively that the '2' signified a Mach 2 performance.

Motto: "Always look for the vulnerable spot and the closest exit!"
Bio:
Xylobone is Dextrix's arch-enemy. He traverses the shadows in his pitch form and can control shadows fir his own purposes. This has made Dextrix slightly paranoid over the years with the single thought that Xylobone could come into existence from any shadow. Xylobone kidnaps random beings and their location will never be discovered and Dextrix has a theory that he is slowly sucking the power and abilities of ever thing he kidnaps.
Xylobone will also attack any and every being he comes across. Just like a shark, Xylobone mock charges his opponent and then sits back and analyzes the foe. He then picks out every weakness and obliterates his targets. He uses his exoskeletal whips to wrench body parts out of their sockets and decapitate his targets. Most have never been able to tell the tale of coming into contact with this creature. And even if one survives an encounter, Xylobone then tracks down the witness and murders without prejudice.
When Xylobone counters an opponent that is small and or/not very "in shape" he morphs into his Titan form, the form which you see here. If need be, he can meld his arms and hands into any weapon the situation calls for. In the case of his Titan Form, he can enlarge his hands into enormous clawed fists, he can manifest swords of varying sizes and sharpness. He also uses his skeletal wings! His shadowed essence manifests webbing across his wings and he is able to attain flight. When he folds his wings up, they revert back to the skeletal form.
P.S. Dextrix and Xylobone fight frequently, Dextrix is the only one to match Xylobone because of Dextrix's prior training.
P.S.S Please ignore the tan-colored technic bits used in his wings.....I had literally no other color and grey would have looked bad...plus the tan does look more boney....
P.S.S.S. Please also ignore the stand under his chest....He is rather heavy and oddly not too stable, sometimes he was in need of that stupid stick stand.....
Please check out my MOCpages too!:
An effigy is a representation of a person, especially in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional form.
I made this effigy from distressed brown paper bag (from Market of Choice). I soaked it in mud and glue then wadded and unwadded it.
The object is also made of masking tape, oak gall, horse chestnuts, rock, sticks and balloon.
The material that looks like twine is brown paper bag twisted tightly.
I made the object as an extra for my 3-D Design class at Lane Community College. The Instructor is Sculptor Andreas (Andy) Salzman.
One thing he has stressed is that we own an object and deeply discover the materials with which we work. I think I achieved these things with this object--it was an exciting project!
