Mama Drink Up - Cocktail Tasting At Mamagoto
The Mamagoto Team invited Team Shivangi Reviews to come on down and sample their new and innovative Cocktail list which was specially prepared for us by their newly built cocktail team.
As part of the launch night of the #MamaDrinkUp they offered interesting starters and refreshing cocktails.
Mocktails (non alcoholic) will also be available on the menu, so teens and people who have to drive a long way back home can enjoy the lovely terrace at Mamagoto, Khan market with an interesting beverage in their hand; they have something for everyone.
The mixologists created drinks with kaffir lime leaves infused in silver tequila, thyme infused in dry gin and fresh vanilla pods as well as juniper berries soaked in vodka.
They also have a new menu of shots and pitchers that include different sangria recipes as well as old school flavoured Margaritas, Daiquiris, and Mojitos.
Mamagoto would be an ideal place to celebrate a birthday, a boy’s night out or simply a girly night.
Mamagoto has always been my preferred place to dine and the restaurant management teamed up with their amazing kitchen team to bring us mouth-watering starters and other nibbles with all kinds of drinks.
It was a very pleasant evening and the staff was very hospitable. Asian eating has always been a lot of fun at Mamagoto but with the introduction of these new beverages, Mamagoto has given a whole new meaning to their tag line: “to play with food”!
Given that Spring has decided not to bother this year and we've been plunged back into an Arctic winter, it was nice to see the sun come out, even for just a second. Here it is shining through a bunch of trees and rough near our house.

Given the tricky and constant currents at the base of Manhattan Island, docking the Staten Island Ferry is less a matter of gentle tick-tack maneuvers - although a couple of the captains are really gifted at easing the massive boats in to their slips - than it is a process of slowing down, pointing at the gate, and then slamming the vast ferries home, battering the bulwharks against the pilings on either side.
Each ferry gate is constructed as a kind of funnel, lined with an elastic cushion of boards and huge tree-trunk logs on either side. The side structures are designed to bend and yield under the immense impact of the arriving boats, absorbing their inertial energy and springing back slowly.
To give you an idea of the scale, I'm riding the Sen. John J. Marchi out to Staten Island. The Marchi has a maximum capacity of 4,440 passengers and 30 cars. She measures 310' feet in length and is 70' wide, with a 13.5' draft, and weighs 3,200 tons. They're pretty big boats.
The ongoing and evolving Utata Thursday Walk project is a straightforward one - take the camera, go for a walk. See what comes of it.
This image is from my fourth Thursday outing - the sixth one overall, but I've sat a couple out. I generally do them on Fridays, but I've been off work for the last couple of weeks, so Thursday is fine. Technically it's supposed to happen before noon, but I've made an executive decision that sunrise is when I get out of the house, so.
Today is haircut day, and Danielle in Staten Island is my Sole Licensed Practitioner (accept no substitutes). She's overseen my hair from the foot-long ponytail days, through the uh-oh Mousse Period, up to the "that's not a bald spot back there, is it?" panics of the Modern Era. I don't get out there often, but I always enjoy the trip.
See the rest of my Thursday Walk images in the Getting the Hang of Thursdays set.
I was given a dozen iris bulbs by a friend who told me they were mixed colors. I had no idea what was going to bloom; so far I have irridescent white and this one with purple edges. I can't tel about the others yet.
Given that marriages today are a bit of gamble, the Art Deco casino at Gulfport, St. Pete, Florida seems an appropriate enough venue for this wedding. The blushing bride emerges from a vintage Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.

Given a range of subjects to pick from, I think it fair to say this wouldn't have been one I'd have picked for myself. It's done though, and today's model was rather tasty.
Given the importance of the public's participation in the Afghan Presidential and Provincial Council elections next year, slated for 5 April, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) is helping facilitate debate and discussion on the Afghan-managed polls through gatherings across the country's regions, starting in the provinces of Bamyan and Paktya today. As well as raising awareness of the importance of taking part in the elections, the events also provide a venue to exchange ideas and views. The gatherings feature a range of speakers from governmental institutions and civil society, amongst others, speaking on panels, as well as a wide cross-section of members of the public.

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 30th December 2017 at 13:00. This year's race featured the change from last year's race where the race seen the introduction of chip timing, a new start and finish in the middle of the village at the community center and, a slightly amended route.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157688852560892
The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. The remainder of the race is The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was very cold and windy. The rain managed to stay away but a very cold northerly breeze certainly made conditions cold. Whatever wind advantage there was for the runners was not experienced until the second half of the race. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and last year in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 event seen very suitable weather for road racing.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town.

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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Given my love of Land Rovers I thought that I would go and spend a couple of hours outside the NAC at Stoneleigh since this weekend was Land Rover Max I thought that this would give me a chance for the first time to have a go at a bit of panning, to say its hard would be an understatement :D
Public reenactment of a speech originally given by activist and Black Panther Party member Angela Davis at DeFremery Park in Oakland, California on November 12, 1969. Davis makes the case for a united movement that links imperialism abroad with domestic oppression. She calls for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam, for the release of domestic political prisoners, and for the defeat and humiliation of the US Government. Sheilagh Brooks, an Oakland-based actor and community organizer, delivered the speech on location in DeFremery Park on August 2, 2008.
Quotes:
"This whole economy in this country is a war economy. It's based on the fact that more and more and more weapons are being produced. What happens if the war in Vietnam ceases? How is the economy going to stand unless another Vietnam is created, and who is to determine where that Vietnam is gonna be? It can be abroad, or it can be right here at home."
"It's evident that the terror is becoming not just isolated instances of police brutality here and there, but that terror is becoming an everyday instrument of the institutions of this country."
Given the snow and dropping temperatures, I'm afraid this is the last outdoor flower photo of the year.
This little flower of Veronica 'Blue Reflection' started out on the plant, but as the snow continued to fall, so did this flower.
Hmmmm, I miss the sun of southern Arizona....
Our group was given a tour of this facility in Medina.
Over 10 million copies of the Quran are printed here, with 55 translations in 39 languages.
95% of their production is distributed for free around the world and each pilgrim receives one during Hajj.
They also record audio versions here featuring world-renown reciters.
Given that the post no longer serves any purpose, its survival in such a prominent position is all the more remarkable.
However... since writing that I came across this passage in the booklet 'Telephone Boxes' by Neil Johannessen: "...it [the Piccadilly Circus post] is not all that it seems. It is a former City Police box, disguised as a 'Met' one, the original listed box having been dug out of the ground and stolen at some time during the late 1980s."

Well, i`m one of these people who suffer extremely under the reality of getting older. I often sit at home, listen to my records from the 70`s and 80`s thinking about this time with tears in my eyes. Thinking about all of childhood and teen heros. All the lovely movies, all these new inventions we got in these time. About my dad who passed away 2 years ago and my 84 years old mom. Than i realize that my childhood is over and i`m an older man. I wanna thank all of these brilliant heroes of my life "like Mark" for so so many lovely moments in my life. For moments full of tears and moments full of joy....thank you so so much...you/they are my life...for ever and always. <3 Love from germany
My dearest Mark Knopfler, your voice, your poems and especially your music have always soothed my soul everyday since 1979 and they always will. I wish you good health and wish you strength for years ahead. With all my love, Haideh Zand, Tehran, Iran.
St Margaret was given a new head in 2000, actually afixed to the surface of the panel to cover up one of the very worst of the 'ghost heads' (crude 19th century inserts to replace the lost originals).
Gloucester's east window has a claim to be the largest of medieval windows, a title usually given to that at York as the stained glass there fills the entire window, whereas here it comprises about two thirds of the overall space; however the window itself does fill the entire wall! It is an architectural landmark, the first great expression of the Perpendicular style and built on the foundations of the former apse, hence its unusual curved shape with the outer lights slanted towards the centre. It was glazed c1350 and features remarkably little coloured glass with red and blue backgrounds to the otherwise white figures and canopies (coloured glass was more expensive as it had to be imported, white glass was locally made and therefore cheaper to use, which was especially significant when the proportion of glazing was on such an unprecedented scale!).
The design is treated as a display of images, with figures under canopies filling the entire width of the upper three tiers of the window with a shorter row of angels as the head of the window narrows above (one is missing and has been replaced with a later Madonna & Child from elsewhere in the cathedral). The central group features the entrhoned figures of Christ & Mary at her coronation (the design now slightly confused by the patching of Christ's lower half with part of another figure). The rest features various apostles, saints and kings, some figures (particularly towards the south side) are heavily patched and confused, a few others suffer from unfortunately crude replacement faces (the 'ghost heads') and a couple of figures which appear taller than the rest may not even have originally belonged to the window but are perhaps remnants of the lost original glazing of the adjacent clerestories.
The lower half of the window is partially obscured by the adjacent Lady Chapel (which is entered through it) and mainly consists of plain glazing with a few pieces of heraldry and roundels (including the famous 'golfer').
Gloucester Cathedral is one of England's finest churches, a masterpiece of medieval architecture consisting of a uniquely beautiful fusion of Norman Romanesque and Perpendicular Gothic from the mid 14th century onwards. Until the Reformation this was merely Gloucester's Abbey of St Peter, under Henry VIII it became one of six former monastic churches to be promoted to cathedral status, thus saving the great church from the ravages of the Dissolution.
The most obviously Norman part is the nave, immediately apparent on entering the building with it's round arches and thick columns (the exterior is the result of Gothic remodelling). Much of the remainder of the building is substantially the Norman structure also, but almost entirely modified in the later Middle Ages inside and out, the result of the great revenue brought to the abbey by pilgrims to the tomb of the murdered King Edward II in the choir. It was this transformation of the Norman church that is credited with launching the late gothic Perpendicular style in England.
The gothic choir is a unique and spectacular work, the walls so heavily panelled as to suggest a huge stone cage (disguising the Norman arches behind) crowned by a glorious net-like vault adorned with numerous bosses (those over the Altar with superb figures of Christ and angels) whilst the east wall is entirely glazing in delicate stone tracery, and still preserving most of it's original 14th century stained glass. The soaring central tower, also richly panelled with delicate pinnacles, is another testament to the abbey's increasing wealth at this time.
The latest medieval additions to the church are equally glorious, the Lady Chapel is entered through the enormous east window and is itself a largely glazed structure, though the original glass has been reduced to a few fragments in the east window, the remainder now contains beautiful Arts & Crafts stained glass by Christopher and Veronica Whall.
The early 16th century cloisters to the north of the nave are some of the most beautiful anywhere, being completely covered by exquisite fan vaulting, with a seperate lavatorium (washing room) attached to the north walk as a miniature version of the main passages.
There is much more of interest, from 14th century choir stalls with misericords to the comprehensive collection of tombs and monuments of various dates, including the elaborate tomb of Edward II and that of Robert Duke of Normandy, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The stained glass also represents all ages, from the 14th century to the striking contemporary windows by Tom Denny.
Further areas of the cathedral can be accessed at certain times, such as the Norman crypt under the choir and the triforium gallery above.
The F-86L was the designation given to late-1950s conversions of existing USAF F-86Ds to use the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) datalink system.
The SAGE system was developed during the early 1950s by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. It was based on the use of a large, high-speed ground-based computer to handle and coordinate air surveillance data from various ground radar installations. This information was transmitted in real-time to a special data receiver aboard the interceptor, and an on-board system converted this data into heading, speed, altitude, target bearing, and range information that would be used to guide the pilot in his interception. No voice instructions were used, and the interceptor was automatically positioned for a lead-collision attack with its own E-4 fire control system.
In the mid 1950s, it was decided to adapt the F-86D to the new SAGE system, and in 1956, 2192 conversion kits were ordered for the F-86Ds of the Air Defense Command (ADC). Under a project code-named Project Follow-On, starting in May of 1956, certain low-time F-86D interceptors were withdrawn one-by-one from service and fitted with the upgrade. This work was done at North American plants in Fresno and Inglewood, California. Following the upgrade, they were redesignated F-86L. All F-86L block designations were changed to reflect their original F-86D block numbers. The F-86D-10 to F-86D-45 became F-86L-11 to F-86L-46, but blocks 50, 55, and 60 just changed the type from D to L, that is, the F-86D-50 became F-86L-50.
When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
As F-102A and F-106A interceptors became available to the ADC, the F-86Ls were transferred to Air National Guard units beginning in late 1957. The first ANG squadron to receive the F-86L was the 108th, based at O'Hare Field in Chicago. The following ANG squadrons got F-86Ls: 108, 111, 124, 127, 128, 133, 146, 147, 151, 156, 156, 158, 159, 173, 181, 182, 185, 187, 190, 191, 192, 194, 197, and 199.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
In 1964, seventeen F-86Ls were supplied to the Royal Thai Air Force. So far as I am aware, Thailand was the only foreign user of the F-86L. They served with No. 12 Squadron at Don Maung Airport until they were finally retired in 1976.
Specification of the F-86L:
Engine: One General Electric J47-GE-33, 5550 lb.st. dry, 7650 lb.st with afterburner. Performance: Maximum speed: 693 mph at sea level, 616 mph at 40,000 feet. Initial climb rate was 12,200 feet per minute, and service ceiling was 49,600 feet. Dimensions: wingspan 39 feet 1 inch, length 40 feet 3 inches, height 15 feet, wing area 313 square feet. Weights: 13,822 pounds empty, 18,484 pounds gross.

47593 was temporarily given its original number & was soon renumbered back to 47790 if I recall correctly. It is currently stored (I think) as DRS slowly dispense with their 47 fleet, although it has had its time in the limelight as it has been one of the dedicated Northern Belle livered loco's.
37423 is still active with DRS carrying their new Compass livery.
57008 & 012 are also still active with DRS.
Here's one of my shots of 47790 in the Northern Belle livery, there are a couple elsewhere on my site in the 2010 onwards album should you care to look.

Blythe Runway Challenge June
"You have all been given 2 pieces of the same fabric. Your challenge is to make an outfit using those fabrics. You must use BOTH fabrics and ONLY those two fabrics. And the twist? You must use roughly equal amounts of both fabrics in your design. "
This is my idea for this month's challenge. I may alter the design a little bit, but overall, I'm happy with this little drawing. :) My son's toys and Marce's amigurumis helped my inspiration. :)
I love Marce's amigurumis!! ^____^
Would have given up my life for you
Guess it's true what they say about love
It's blind
Girl, you lied straight to my face
Looking in my eyes
And I believed you 'cause I loved you more than life
And all you had to do
Was apologize
You didn't say you're sorry
I don't understand
You don't care that you hurt me
And now I'm half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn't love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you'll never get to love me, again

The assignment was to create a story focusing on the daily activities of the Mon village people, wherein the starting point of the story should be the bridge, which connects the Mon Village to the township of Sangklaburi..
We only have to choose five photos.. And those five photos should have a travel magazine 'quality'..
It was a cool assignment, but I had a hard time creating a story line.. So I thought 'what the heck, I could document whatever things that I see along this bridge'..
I took a couple of shots of the Mon people passing and walking along the bridge.. strangely, most of my shots were only their feet and it made me excited.. i think i already have a strange story!!
This photo was taken at the Mon Village, Sangklaburi, Thailand

To anyone who's interested of his photography styles, tips, techniques and his photojournalism/journalism stories, book a workshop with him.. It's worthwhile!! Trust me! I've learned a lot from his workshop! Do visit Jonathan's Photography School Asia..
