Every time I walk through these doors it reminds me of the opening and closing title sequences to the TV show Get Smart starring Don Adams! He walks at a rapid clip throug a series of doors at the hidden secret head quarters. If you are old enough to remember at the close the doors don’t open and he runs into the doors. I’m afraid that the doors might not open for me as I walk through these doors. These doors are motion activated.
On Friday we chose an adventure in Chloe's favorite woods. We were going to Worship Central so we wanted to make sure we gave her some attention before leaving her at home all night. We didn't have loads of time so the walk was only 45 minutes. I don't think she was happy with this, because as soon as she spotted the car (about 10 feet away) she just plopped down in the middle of the road and would not get up! Silly pup!
I don't think landscapes get any simpler. You very well might not like this one and I won't blame you. I however fell for it immediately, both at the scene and in front of the monitor. From one of my walkabouts with the newly aquired Zeiss Planar 1,4/85 ZE. It's true to life colour rendition continues to impress, as well as it's complete lack of distortion.

I have always believed in equal rights and duties between men and women. Recently I read an article about Donya Al Nahi and was very disappointed with her biast approach.
First of all, I have great respect for her courage to help mothers from all over the world to get back their children kidnapped by the father. As a man, I do feel ashamed for the injustice to women brought by men. However, reading Donja Al nahi's story, I found some points that made me wonder about the integrity of Donja Al Nahi: Please let me explain:
In the article, Donya Al Nahi is a British moslim, famous for saving children from the hands of kidnappers, these kidnappers are their own fathers. Before it came that far, Donya went once to Cyprus and felt in love with her then husband, Theo. After the birth of their child, Donya decided to go back to England because she couldn't stand the loneliness in Cyrpus and took their child with her. The father was very angry (a point which I fully understand), he went after them but had to "accept" the situation. Am I wrong or is Donya here not doing the same as the "evil" fathers: Kidnapping the child for their own interest? (interesting use of two different words in the article: the father "kidnaps" the child..., the mother "takes" her child...It is as if both words are gender-related).
Donya said that "Theo, has to accept the situation..." but one can't say the same about her. When her child was "kidnapped by the father" (because she neglected the family), she went after him with a gun in her handbag that she was planning to use if the father (Mahmoed, third husband) refused to hand over her children. She said: "a mother does everything for her children, even going over dead bodies...". I wonder how the society will respond if a father goes after his child with the intention to kill his wife if she doesn't want to hand over his child? Is it than not true, dear Donya Al Nahi, that it is also the duty of the father to do everything for his children, even if he has to go over dead bodies?
Note: it is true that the father made a wrong decision to take his children to Irak during the invasion of America, but so was Donya, who took with her her other children to the war zone. Sanity was hard to find with both mother and father. We might all believe that she is a good mother, but I don't as she has neglected her family from the start (Mahmoed looked after the children while she was away all the time, he stood by her side in moments of danger, Donya admitted herself) , and taking her children to a war zone is just as crazy.
Also: There are cases were the mother takes (read: kidnaped) the child away from the father, but there is no legal help for the father. I know two such cases.
update: Mrs. Kristine Kloeck, general director of child focus wrote in the Dutch newspaper "De Morgen" (27/05/06) that "in reality women are also often the parent of childkidnapping".

I just recently aquired a really nice, vintage Besson Cornet - Details as follows:
Bell marked:
CLASS A
50 Medals of Honour
FB
Besson & Co.
"Prototype"
198 EUSTON ROAD
LONDON
(with Single star symbol below)
On receipt I gave it a really good CLA (I managed to get the seized 3rd valve bottom cap off). It is now playing fairly well with good tuning.
If I am feeling wealthy later in the year I might get it professionally serviced to get it playing the best it can and sort out that dent in the bell.
Description & History:
--------------------------------
An authentic Besson & Co. Brevet cornet, manufactured around 1911 (serial number 85515). Renowned for their craftsmanship and rich tonal quality, Besson Class A instruments of this era were designed for professional use and have become highly sought after by collectors and players alike.
The last owner purchased it from a lady in Yorkshire whose grandfather played this instrument, she said initially in the Halifax Fire Brigade band then after the war Mexborough Fire Brigade band. The last owner bought it to play the Last Post at Newcastle Emlyn Remembrance service on 10 November 2024. That was its most recent outing.
The instrument is in good condition, with all components functional. The bell has a couple of dents (does not affect playability).
Included Accessories:
1. Original Hard Case (Poor Condition): Structurally intact but shows significant wear, consistent with its age.
2. Set of 7 vintage mouthpieces:
“Salvation Army No. 1”
“Hawkes & Son. 1 Model” (marked with a 5)
“Hawkes & Son. 2 Model”
"Selmer Range-finder Air-cooled - 16D" (Modified shank)
"Selmer Range-finder Air-cooled - 17D" (Boxed)
"Kilchen & Co Leeds - KOOLKUP 3"
Unmarked Trumpet mouthpiece
3. Silver Transitional Adapter (“512” Marked) - facilitates compatibility with different mouthpiece designs, enhancing the instrument’s versatility.
4. Brass Transitional Adapter (Unmarked): - A second brass adapter designed for additional configurations.
5. S.B.I. Co Lyre: -A genuine Salvationist Brass Instrument Company lyre, used for holding sheet music during performances.
Condition Summary:
-----------------------------
Instrument: Good condition, with couple of small dents in the bell and minor wear from age.
Case: Structurally intact but in poor cosmetic condition. Retains original clasp and internal compartments.
Accessories: All items are vintage, functional, and rare, significantly enhancing the set’s value.
Notes:
---------
The big air-cooled mouthpieces are bonkers and too much for the horn but they work nicely on my flugel horn!
Out of all the mouthpieces I think the beaten up Hawkes 1 model (5) and Sally Army No. 1 play the best... I guess that is why they are the most beaten up!

Friday night we recovered nearly 300 bottles and about 20ish jugs of expensive organic hippy juice from the vicious jaws of a dumpster. Each one of those costs three bucks retail. So yes, that’s a score worth well over a grand before we even hit up trader joes. All in my friend Oriens truck that runs on vegetable oil.

My husband has recently taught the dog to 'get the cat'. So now all it takes is three words and the dog zones in on the cat and they chase each other around the house.
