Given the news of bee die-offs in recent years, lots of people are getting into mason bees. Solitary, nonaggressive bees - and native to North America - they are hardworking garden pollinators. They lay their eggs in any small hole they can find - here, purpose-built paper straws in which they lay a succession of eggs - capping each egg cell with mud in an effort to keep predators out. This photo shows two bees - one outside the tubes, the other just emerging from one. Over the succeeding months, the eggs hatch and the larvae build cocoons for themselves, in which they complete the transformation into adult bees in time to emerge in the spring.

Was given a tongue lashing by someone from the Gas Company for taking pictures that were thought to be a homeland security risk! The fact that one of the employees had given me permission to enter the cage where bottles were stored didn't seem to make an impression on him as he claimed that person wasn't under his charge! The contents of this 'room' are clearly visable to anyone who cares to look through the wire walls that are just off a well traveled road. The company is even listed in the yellow pages of phone book. Would love to know how this picture threatens anyone.
We were given a halt at Kaumahina State Park and to walk along the trail. The park features some unique gigantic trees with interesting bark formations.
We planned for exciting ‘Valley Isle Excursions’ –the incredible Maui tour to Hana…and Haleakalā. It was a trip surrounding the main island of Maui, starting in the morning and ending in the late afternoon. It was a small group Hawaiian Style tour in a 12 seater van. I may guarantee that your "Hana Day" will be one of the best days of your Maui vacation. The Road to Hana features waterfalls, rainforests, bamboo forests, sweeping ocean views, view rugged coastline and more, despite its 617 hairpin curves and 56 one-lane bridges.
You'll be in the hands of Maui’s best driving guides. Valley Isle Excursions’ Luxury Road to Hana Van Tours are hosted by professional guides who share more than just beautiful scenery and an experienced hand behind the wheel; they are incredibly knowledgeable about all things Hawaiian. When your day is complete, you will have received legends, history, stories, and personal insights to give you a real sense of the Hawaiian culture.
Tour starts early in the morning and hotel pickups are available from all major locations. After all the guests are picked up you will make your first stop of the day at Maui Lani Golf Course in Kahului where you will enjoy a light, Hawaiian-style continental breakfast featuring local jams, jellies, with a lovely view of the West Maui Mountains and the golf course.
Once out on the road, you will pass some of the most stunning scenery imaginable along 52 miles of road with 617 hairpin curves and 56 narrow, one-lane bridges. There are countless waterfalls created by the 56 streams that must be crossed on the road to Hana.
Local knowledge is so important because “the best” waterfalls change depending upon the amount of rainfall in the previous several hours at certain altitudes. Only someone who is intimately familiar with the area can predict which waterfalls will be the best to visit on a particular day. Moreover, your Valley Isle Excursions guide is trained to modify the tour according to the unique preferences of the group they are leading that day, so every day is slightly different.

A note to the photographers:
[In between scheduled halts, plenty of places you may think worth stopping to enjoy the spectacular views and also to take photographs, but guide will not allow for the reason they have a definite plan to finish the tour in time. So you have to remain satisfied with taking most of the photographs from the running car, as I did so, and they may not turn out to be of standard quality!]

New Milton is a market town in south west Hampshire, England. ( In 1303, Thomas de Chaucombe was given permission to hold a weekly market on Tuesdays at Milton, as well as an annual fair on the feast day of Mary Magdalene. ) The town has a high street and holds a market every Wednesday. Situated on the edge of the New Forest, the town is about six miles ( 10 km ) west of Lymington town centre and 12 miles ( 19 km ) east of Bournemouth town centre. New Milton dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, and encompasses Old Milton, Barton on Sea, Ashley, Bashley, and Wootton. It is recorded as having a population of around 23,000 in 2001. The traditional village centre of Milton was just south of the church. Up to the 1960's, moated earthworks were still visible next to the road known as Moat Lane. Excavations of these earthworks in 1956 revealed a series of peasant enclosures and hut remains dating from the 9th to the 12th century, but no evidence of a manorial farmstead was found.
The parish church of Milton is dedicated to Mary Magdalene and consists of a chancel with vestry, a nave and a western tower. The medieval church was pulled down and replaced around 1830, although the tower is of an earlier 17th century date. In 1835 a Church of England National School was founded on an island of land near the village green, where children were taught until just after World War I. In 1881, the population of the entire Milton parish was only 1489 people, and Milton was still a small village. The location of the village on the main Christchurch to Lymington road ( now the A 337 ) meant that there were two coaching inns - The Wheatsheaf and The George.
In March 1888 New Milton railway station was opened, which is still in operation today. A new town developed, which expanded rapidly with the coming of the railway and the name New Milton was used for the first time and can originally be traced back to the Post Office that stood opposite the railway station. In 1895, the owner of the Post Office, Emma Newhook, commissioned a sign, which read - New Milton Sub Post Office to differentiate it from the post office in Old Milton. This was officially accepted in 1896, and so the name New Milton caught on. Much of the local farmland has been developed, first in the 1960's for commuter housing and again in the 1970's for small industrial / trade units. There is a mix of housing from cottages on the outskirts to more modern, urban housing in the central area.
Milton village subsequently became known as Old Milton, and lies between New Milton and Barton on Sea. There are a few notable architectural points of interest in the local area. However, a distinctive row of Coast Guard Cottages are to be found in Barton Lane, Barton on Sea, which were built at the end of the 19th century by the Government of the day to house armed guards to try to stop the smuggling that was rife at the time. The Barton on Sea and Mudeford coastline was renowned for smuggling with many of the offshore seaways and routes to shore being named after well known local smuggling families. It was in this context that Frederick Marryat, author of The Children of the New Forest, was sent on patrol here as a young naval lieutenant in 1821, to watch over the Christchurch Bay area. Britain's first reinforced concrete bridge was built in 1901 just outside New Milton at Chewton. There was an earlier experiment in building with this material in its un reinforced form at Sway ( Sway Tower ).
New Milton water tower. Built in 1900 was the Tudor style water tower, which can be found adjacent to the car park in Osborne Road. It has a staircase and is constructed with a turret, slit windows and battlements. It is a striking orange - red colour, was built from locally manufactured bricks. The German Luftwaffe carried out bombing raids on New Milton on the 23rd August 1940, the 8th August 1942 and on January 22nd 1943. The town's water tower was suggested as the target. During the Second World War, New Milton homed evacuees and was a transit station for soldiers going to the battlefields. It also had an army hospital. It was a favourite for the airmen who were based at the nearby airfields at Lymington and Holmsley. The Memorial Centre in Whitefield Road commemorates those who died in the raids, as well as towns people who have died more recently. Bricks can be purchased for inscription and insertion into the wall of the Memorial Room, which stands to the left of the front door and contains mementos saved from the original building, which was destroyed by fire in the 1970's.
Ballard Lake that borders Fernhill Lane and Lake Grove Road, in New Milton is a picturesque area of New Milton that you could spend a hot summers day feeding the many ducks, mallards, geese that live around this lake. A few walks branch out from this lake to stroll along. Seats have been sited from donations from residents who have passed away and serve as a reminder to long lost friends or family. The stream from this lake meanders for many miles in many cases forming picturesque walks further along New Milton.
Given the money, space and the know how this would be my real hobby. Well I guess you get the know how from collecting and restoring just like in photography but old cars certainly are a beauty when kept well and or restored. This one was just parked on a Sunday. The owner perhaps bowling in the lanes just across the street.

And now the rain had given way to milky sunshine, we thought a fine evening wandering around Gion again taking shots. At least that was my idea and Jen and Jools agreed, as long as I said there would be dinner involved.
So just after dark we take a cab to Gion, get out on the main drag with the historic area laid out before us, and only a few folks about.
As we walk back to the main drag, I see a Geiko in full make up tottering along on her wooden shoes. It seemed rude to take her picture, so I let her pass me, but funny thing was, was there was a group of about 50 tourists all armed with cameras following her on the other side of the street, seemed silly really. Sick I suppose.
We pass an old house that offered food, so we agree to go in. We are presented with a menu, but really even in English the meals gave us little hint of what we might get. Jools and I go for something called beef shabu-shabu, and I also chance it with a bottle of hot sake.
What we got was a pan filled with water, and in the centre of the table, a lid was taken off revealing a gas burner. The pan placed on the burner and it lit. A plate of thinly sliced beef and assorted vegetables. Our server showed us what to do once the water boiled, poach the beef for a minute or so, then take out, dip in soy sauce and sesame sauce and gobble down. Yum.
Even the sake was good, and I drink the whole bottle.
From there we go to the coffee shop for another cup of Java, then walk into the touristy area which was lines with bars and clubs. Now, in the coffee shop, there were a number of statuesque Japanese women drinking and smoking, all of them tottering on high heels and with perfect make up and clothes, looking like business women. But as we saw many of them standing on street corners, clearly not business women, but women in a different business.
We flag a taxi down and get him to take us the mile to the hotel away from sin city so we can drink cans of beer and play cards. As we seem to do every evening now.
Discover something new.
At the beginning of this course I was given the topic of Clash, Culture, Chaos. From this title I began my journey by venturing different aspects of each word, and I was instantly attracted to the fashion side of the subject as I found ways that each noun could be interpreted into this area. I chose fashion as a starting point because of this and I also feel like it reflects my own personal inspiration. From this starting point I went on to look at basic fashion as we know it and I then looked at in more depth by viewing areas such as Fair Trade fashion that may not be as well-known and I found a photographer working with fair trade who I then went on to take photographs in a similar way creating connections. Throughout this process I also began to look at old cameras and had a go at using a 35mm SLR camera. I carried on my adventure through old time periods as I linked in fashion and other cameras over time. As I enjoy artwork as well as photographing as you can see in my work, I came across Bert Stern’s photo shoot with Marilyn Monroe and their final photos which inspired me to use art materials in my final pieces.
From the beginning of my journey I explored the work of many different photographers. I tried to emulate the work of Trevor Leighton, which I felt worked really well and I also managed to learn some skills such as the use of light therefore I created some successful photographs. I also investigated the work of Erwin Blumenfeld as I found his work very different and creative. However, I did not feel inspired by his photographs there did not influence it in my own work. As previously stated, I found Bert Stern’s ‘The Last Sitting’ photo shoot which inspired me to use a combination of art and photography in my final pieces.
My work is about how things have changed over. For my final piece I decided to focus on an aspect of fashion and cameras that we no longer regularly find in present day. When I look at my work I think about the comparison between my digital SLR and disposable camera photographs. The messages that I want to get across in my final outcomes is that although technology and fashion has moved on and improved from the past, you can still create work that is just as good by using old processes and that a simple difference in a photograph can show two different ways of looking at it. I have shown this through the paint strike across the images on acetate. To inform and inspire my work I looked at the work of Trevor Leighton and Bert Stern. Trevor inspired me to use a fashion photo shoot for my final pieces and Bert’s work influenced me to get creative with my outcomes. I took secondary source photographs in a similar style to Trevor’s Fair Trade photo shoot creating connections between our work. I have learned that photography is not only about the photographs themselves; they can also have other aspects like in my final products.
I took my photographs on a cannon digital SLR camera and a disposable camera. I also took photographs on a singlex 35mm SLR camera to show more variety in my theme of cameras over time however when I processed my film in the darkroom the negatives came out blank.
I used aperture to touch up my digital SLR images and I also completely reduced the saturation so that they were black and white to fit in with the theme. I feel that making them black and white also helped to show the clash with the coloured paint once I had added it. Once I had received my disposable camera outcomes, I began to cut down and paint the pieces of acetate that were to be sewn to all of the photos. I hand sewed the acetate to the images to influence show my understanding of my fair trade research. Using acetate instead of painting straight onto my photographs helps to show how there are two way to look at them as you can still easily view the images without the paint.
In my work I have shown that I can use the basic elements. I have used form, texture, colour and tone. Using these I could ensure that my photos weren’t too simple or basic, and that they can maintain attention and interest from viewers. You can see that I have used some rules of composition such as changing the positioning of the model, in the centre and slightly off centred. I think that if my work was larger it would show a better understand of the point that I was trying to get across, however I did not have the facilities to do so.
Before finishing my final pieces I did a couple of experiments to see what else I could use on my work. I tried the effect of tea staining as it again showed the theme of ‘over time’, and I also attempted to print my final outcomes out onto acetate. I decided that I did not like these processes therefore did not use them.
I managed to settle on my final ideas and techniques for my final piece by looking through all of the work that I have completed and I picked out certain things that I thought worked and that I liked. I used these as my guidelines and I put them all together to get my plan for my final outcomes.
As a conclusion, I personally think that I have responded very well to the brief and have created some interesting forms of photography from the starting theme of Clash, Culture, Chaos. I feel this way as all of my work and research is somehow linked in with my final pieces. I think that my work connected to the work of Bert Stern for both obvious and deeper reasons such as the paint strikes, fashion portraits, and positions of the models. When I look at my work I feel like I can see how technology has changed over time yet still looks just as good in its own way. The most successful part of my work in my opinion is how you can see the comparison of the cameras, and how you can see two ways to view the images. I think that my photographs are successful.

I was on a run and on my way out of Marshalltown I saw Y735 sitting on the pork chop line. It took me a minute to realize it but it was sitting there and I believe tied down this afternoon. I don't catch it much but when I've caught it sitting before it was on this line but north the main and south of Gervich, not half way up the line. I don't know what is normal.

My husband was given this Galileo thermometer years ago as a holiday gift. It consists of a sealed glass tube filled with water and floating bubbles. The bubbles are filled with a colored liquid, and tags hand from each denoting a particular temperature. As the room temperature changes, so does the density of the water, causing some bubbles to float, while others sink. The bubble that sinks the most denotes the current approximate temperature. It's a pretty ingenious little invention, and a lot of fun to photograph too!
Given to me by the late George Fear who
was the Fitter at the Brutonian Bus Co,
it seems the rear axle casing broke up
due to loose stud's and eventually the
weight of the East Lancs bodied bus was carried by this half shaft which soon became severed.
The driver requested help as the bus "had an oil leak"
in the High Street in Gillingham (Dorset)
George recalled the EP90 running along the gutter and the
pungent smell of very hot metal and oil!
Thank's to George I have a superb paperweight.
Dubai was incredible. Literally breath taking! I got given a lovely 4 star hotel near the airport by emirates with my ticket, which was great, and although the rooms were standard, it had awesome facilities including a bar in the middle of a swimming pool! After dropping my stuff off here I headed off to Old Dubai!
Culture is what interests me, so the older and more Arabic areas of Dubai were what I wanted to see. So I headed off to the gold Souq in al ras. Unfortunately it appeared to be a holy day, so not all of the gold stalls were open, but the amount of gold and goods on display was astounding anyway. Walking along around here I stumbled onto some awesome mosques as well. The atmosphere was lively, and different from what I am used to. I spent quite allot of time in this area searching for the spice souq aswell, although it was not until later that I found it. This area did seem a bit more westernised than I had hoped however, so I headed to the waterfront to catch an abra across the river. After walking up and down waterfront a couple of times trying to find somewhere to get on an abra, I gave up! I couldn't find it anywhere- it's probably just because I don't read Arabic! So instead I took the metro across, and found what I would consider my faviroute area in Dubai.
Although the views from the other side of the river was great, from this side it was fantastic. The crystal blue water, seagulls, old dusty background with colourful wooden boats floating along. Truly magnificent! The walk along the waterfront and around this area just took you back 20 years. Arabs wearing Classic Arabic light flowy clothing, head scarfs and skull caps. Children playing with birds, street stalls selling freshly squeezed orange juice, coconuts, and all manner of Arabic attire, spices and foods. Going further away from the waterfront were tiny lanes, just wide enough for one man, yet they had stores along either side, giving you am awe-inspiring claustrophobic shopping experience. I loved it.
Here I found the oldest fort in Dubai, which had been transformed into the Dubai heritage museum with all sorts of old artifacts. The building was ancient stone and sand, and just looked like a giant sand castle. So cool! It looked smaller than it was aswell, due to the rather large mosque built next door.
Walking further and further along the waterfront, with this ancient style Arabic life all around me, I decided I loved the Arabic life. The sound calling out for prayer, was incredible. I didn't think they did that in Dubai, but they do, and I loved it. The people always happy, the streets- dirty, small and sandy, but a world away from my own, and the sights, beautiful and majestic despite the general lack of colour. It was great. Not only this but the smells! The spices and herbs odour all around, gave you a real treat just to walk near. But the food- was even better. The Dubai street food was an explosion of flavours and herbs. It wasn't spicy, but very fragrant, and I loved it! I spent far longer here than I anticipated! But it was too great to leave..

Leaves: Given its roots as an evergreen, the Lebanon Cedar's leaves are needle-like in shape rather than flat and oblong. The long, stiff needles grow in tufts and are dark blue-green. The tufts, which consist of 30 to 40 needles and are often referred to as "rosettes," remain on the tree for about two years before falling to the ground.
Flowers: The Lebanon Cedar's flowers, or catkins, don't appear on the tree until its 25th growing season. Each drooping catkin measures about two inches long and is reddish-brown in color.
Fruit: The Lebanon Cedar's fruit are barrel-shaped cones that measure about five inches long. Young cones are light green and scaly, but as the tree ages the seed containing cones turn a dull brown colour.

This is a photograph from the annual BHAA Government Services/Social Protection Group's 5 Mile Road Race took place on Tuesday 27th May 2013 at 20:00 in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland. The course is a fast flat course which begins on the Dunboyne-Maynooth Road between the two entrances to Dunboyne Castle Estate. The race then proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction back to the Dunboyne Athletic Club on the Rooske Road in Dunboyne. The race reaches higher standards with every passing year. Paul Gorey and his team of volunteers must be given great credit for putting on such a wonderful race event. Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs taken at the finish line area of the race. There are also some races of the buildup and the start of the race. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644466844507/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

There was already a temporary pine and pug Chapel. Tenders were called for in February 1867: by July the foundation stone was laid, and the church opened on 5 July 1868. Wright, Woods & Hamilton were the architects.
*The Very Rev John Smyth, VG, assisted by the Rev Joseph Tappeiner and the pastor of the district, laid on Sunday, 7th instant, the foundation stone of a Catholic Church, under the title of St Agnes the Martyr. Though the constant and heavy rains during the week had rendered the roads in many places almost impassable, and the day itself was unsettled and showery, yet no fewer than about 400 persons came to see laid the first stone of their church.
At 10 o'clock am the Rev Joseph Tappeiner celebrated mass, after which the priests and laity walked in procession from the small and unsightly building hitherto used as a chapel to the site of the new church.
The Vicar-General having laid the foundation stone, according to the Roman Ritual, preached an excellent sermon
The handsome sum of £84 14s 10d was then laid upon the stone. The building will be Gothic: the nave will measure 60 by 25 feet, besides chancel, sacristies, and porch. The plinth, quoins, and buttresses will be cut stone; and as the site is elevated, with a background of fine old gumtrees, the building will greatly contribute to the beauty of the young and rising township of Marrabel.

Catholic Church, Marrabel,—
*The Very Rev John Smyth VG, assisted by the Rev Messrs Polk and Huger SJ, solemnly blessed and opened the Church of St Agnes, at Marrabel on Sunday, the 5th instant.
The very rev gentlemen preached an eloquent sermon on the occasion, and the handsome sum of £170 was received towards the liquidation of the debt, which is only a little over £400. When it is borne in mind that the building cost £1,000 independently of the stones, which were given and carted free of charge, the liberality of the congregation and friends will be more clearly understood.

Given out as gifts at the Absolut Blank launch event in Mexico. These ceramic bottles were limited to 60 units.
Ah, Ukraine! When I first visited Rusfurrence in 2013, and was given a tour of Moscow by my excellent hosts, I thought I’d fallen in love with Russian cuisine – only to discover that nearly everything I’d devoured was in fact Ukrainian. Therefore, I knew I would one day have no choice but to visit the source, and boy howdy, was it worth it.
Our hosts and dear friends took such excellent care of us, with ‘us’ including a surprising number of foreigners, most of whom had never been to Ukraine before. My boyfriend Rush joined me, as did our friend Bostitch, and we met up with Oatcake and Fox Amoore and far, far too many other friends to mention.
The convention itself was fantastic, marked by the lively, can-do spirit the Ukrainians are known for, though I regrettably saw far too little of it. We’d wanted to take a quick look at Kiev while we were in the country but it wound up taking us three hours to get back, and it also didn’t help that I’d caught a bug that left me too tired to partake of many of the events – including a party bus!
Still, there was plenty of fun to be had in the evenings. The Tiger Bar set up in the corridor of the fourth floor, the Stone Soup bar in the suite and balcony of room 107, and of course the traditional picnic and barbecue in the woods, which I was told was how WUFF had originally started. It started raining rather fiercely immediately after the campfire got started, but the Ukrainians proved themselves indomitable, putting together a shovel team to dig emergency trenches and build dams around the fire, which never went out!
Words can’t describe the warmth and fun of the con. We’ll certainly be back.

And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 11:1-13 King James Version
Chrysler engineers were given free rein to design whatever they wanted in a "hot rod" or "sportster" type vehicle. Thomas C. Gale, Chrysler's design and international director "love for 1930s-era hot rods inspired Chrysler's latest design triumph, the retro-styled Plymouth Prowler."[1] Gale, "who has a hotted up 1932 Ford in his garage, ... [approved] the rod-inspired Plymouth Prowler as the company's follow-up show-stopper to the Dodge Viper.[2] An early influence is credited to a Chrysler-sponsored project at the Art Center College of Design that resulted in a thesis by Douglas "Chip" Foose that included drawings of a retro-roadster.[3] Foose "designed it as a coupe for Chrysler to begin with but modified it to a roadster version."[4]
One of the most striking design features of the Prowler are the open, Indy racer-style front wheels. The Prowler featured a powertrain from Chrysler's LH-cars, a 24-valve, 3.5 L Chrysler SOHC V6 engine producing 214 hp (160 kW; 217 PS) at 5850 rpm. For the 1999 model year, the engine was replaced with a more powerful, aluminum-block, 253 hp (189 kW; 257 PS) at 6400 rpm version of the engine. Both engines were coupled to a four-speed Autostick semi-automatic transmission. The transmission was located at the rear of the vehicle and joined to the engine by a torque tube that rotated at engine speed, an arrangement similar to that used by the C5 Corvette, Porsche 944, and Alfa Romeo 75, and helped to facilitate a desirable 50-50 front-rear weight distribution. The Prowler was the first rear-wheel drive Plymouth since the 1989 Plymouth Gran Fury and would stand as the last Plymouth model with that layout. While criticized for having only a V6 engine, Chrysler's High Output 3.5 had a horsepower rating similar to (or higher than) the company's Magnum V8s of that era. While not making nearly as much torque as a V8, Prowler's light weight helped to achieve rapid off-the-line acceleration.
The car prominently featured aluminum construction, in many cases adhesively bonded, chiefly in the chassis. The body was produced in Shadyside, Ohio, and the car was assembled by hand at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant (CAAP) in Detroit, Michigan.

During the Spanish Civil War, the term "acting lieutenant" was coined for Those officers who, given the heavy casualties that occurred in the officer corps of the rebel side as the conflict dragged on, voluntarily enlisted in the army and directly obtained by the use of ensign have a secondary or higher education. All this to meet the career officers.
The National Defense Council, installed in Burgos, published his decree number 94 in the month of September 1936, instituting the figure. Officers were created and "improvised" to supplement the shortage of middle management. The term "provisional" stemmed from the fact that its commitment to engaging the army was limited to the duration of the war.
Old monasteries, ancient palaces and several barracks were used as the first academy for provisional second lieutenants promotions Burgos, Seville, Granada, Fuencaliente, Avila, Pamplona and Dar Riffien (Tetuan, Morocco2). There, after a short training period (sometimes four weeks, in other stretched to seven), the ensigns became section chiefs, and could move up to lieutenant for acts of combat. In their ranks included many university teachers colleges, technical schools or school students. Notably the baptized as "Fifth of SEU", composed of the student volunteers who were members of the Falange party and Requete.
The hallmark of the provisional lieutenants, whose captain was General Orgaz, consisted of a six-pointed star, placed on a black cloth rectangle in the warrior, shirt or jacket. This rectangle was called patch or stamp, and hence the name "stamped" as it was known to both in the interim national and republican.
The provisional lieutenants, were by their youth or their strong ideology, distinguished by his courage, which produced a high number of casualties among them (even coined aphorisms: "Ensign complement, when body" or "acting lieutenant , effective body "). As proclaimed the first call that appeared in the Government Gazette, must serve "in preference to those that are part of the columns in operations." This resulted in bravery medals and personal accolades: it crosses come to count eleven Laureates and 236 individual military medals. Six of the rewarded with this award twice achieved it.
Most cities in Spain, once the war was won by the pro-Franco side, dedicated a street, in the singular, in recognition of all of them, the Provisional Ensign.

Durante a Guerra Civil Espanhola, o termo "ação tenente" foi cunhado para aqueles policiais que, dadas as pesadas baixas que ocorreram no corpo de oficiais do lado rebelde como o conflito arrastou-se, voluntariamente, alistou-se no exército e obtidos diretamente pelo uso da insígnia tem o ensino secundário ou superior. Tudo isso para atender os oficiais de carreira.
O Conselho de Defesa Nacional, instalada em Burgos, publicou seu decreto número 94, no mês de setembro de 1936, instituindo a figura. Os oficiais foram criados e "improvisado" para complementar a falta de média gerência. O termo "provisório" deriva do fato de que seu compromisso com a envolver o exército foi limitado à duração da guerra.
Antigos mosteiros, palácios antigos e quartéis vários foram utilizados como a primeira academia para provisórias promoções segundo tenentes Burgos, Sevilha, Granada, Fuencaliente, Avila, Pamplona e Dar Riffien (Tetuan, Morocco2). Lá, depois de um período curto de treinamento (às vezes quatro semanas, em outra esticada para sete), as bandeiras tornaram-se chefes de seção, e pode mover-se ao tenente por atos de combate. Em suas fileiras muitos professores universitários incluído faculdades, escolas técnicas ou alunos de escola. Nomeadamente o batizado como "Quinta do SEU", composto pelos estudantes voluntários que eram membros do partido Falange e Requete.
A marca dos tenentes provisórias, cujo capitão era o general Orgaz, consistia de uma estrela de seis pontas, colocado em um retângulo de pano preto no guerreiro, camisa ou jaqueta. Este retângulo foi chamado patch ou carimbo, e daí o nome "carimbado", como era conhecido tanto no nacional provisório e republicano.
Os tenentes provisórias, foram por sua juventude ou sua ideologia forte, distingue-se pela sua coragem, que produziu um número elevado de vítimas entre eles (aforismos mesmo cunhou: "complemento Ensign, quando o corpo" ou "atuação tenente , corpo efetivo "). Como proclamou a primeira chamada que apareceu no Diário do Governo, deve servir "de preferência a aqueles que fazem parte das colunas em operações". Isto resultou em medalhas de bravura e elogios pessoais: ele atravessa vir a contar 11 laureados e 236 medalhas individuais militar. Seis dos recompensado com este prêmio duas vezes conseguiu.
A maioria das cidades em Espanha, uma vez que a guerra foi ganha pelo lado franquista, dedicou uma rua, no singular, em reconhecimento de todos eles, a bandeira provisória.
I was given a bag of Double Coated Chocolate Bites, a strawberry flavoured liquorice with milk chocolate made by Darrell Lea (theres an add if I have seen one) by the fella at the Telstra Office in the Queen Street Mall, Brisbane. I know it was to butter me up to give him a good report on the survey but I still took them - since when do you get anything free from a phone company these days. I did think that they would be a good thing for the Week 48 topic.
Any way about half of the chocolates made it home - well I'm not supposed to have any chocolate in my diet. Once home I stuffed the rest of the packet in the bottom of the pantry locker and that's where they stayed till today. Upon opening the packet of chocs I found that they had sweated and bubbled a little but still ok to photograph and to eat before they went stale. ;o)))

Given the fact that the Governor has shut down all bars and nightclubs, and given the fact that all stage shows have gone Dark at least until late September or October -- what is a Gent to do on the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip between the hours of 5pm and 5am?
Eat Well! And Drink Well!!
Even on a Monday night in the midst of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, one can still eat well and drink well on the Strip! You can order cocktails and drinks in any lounge that also serves bar food. And even though most restaurants are running on short staff and on short hours, there's still some very fine dining to be done here!
But you must wear your face mask and exercise Social Distancing!
Sooner or later your very lovely lady will call you from back home for her daily report, and you had better have some good answers for her!
