Not actually part of the Kelham Island museum but just immediately outside the entrance. This is no longer a steelworks but at least the building has been kept.
is on my globe, and until today I had no idea who he was. I really didn't pay attention at all in school.

This is the Globe Trading Company building. Built in 1892 directly across from the river. Originally it was the Detroit Dry Dock company...they built and repaired freighters and passenger steamers. Now, if you visit the new tricentenial park, there is a bronze statue that commemorates this building and the work done here.
Its now slated to become riverfront condos... boo.
On Friday December 9, 2011 Attorney General Martha Coakley joined the Boston Globe’s “Globe Santa” crew in Faneuil Hall. The Globe Santa Fund is the Boston Globe’s annual holiday charitable fundraiser. Globe Santa raises over $1 million in donations each year and uses the money raised to purchase gifts for underprivileged children.
General Coakley paused from holiday well wishing to chat with the Bellingham High School National Honor Society.

One last globe, this one an old terrestrial model.
When our tour was done, we made our way back outside and continued exploring the old town.
Tasting Britain's Dom (@TheFallOfDom2) has been involved for a few months in the lead up to Nicholson Pubs' Rugby Ale Festival. It is, as you may have gathered from the name, an ale festival themed around this year's rugby world cup. Dom was paired up with Wychwood brewery to come up with the concept for an Australasian themed beer (also with Australasian ingredients). The result was The 'Haka-Roo' - a limited production, classic amber ale (3.5% â 4.5% ABV) made with hops from Australia and New Zealand. It's the one with the Mauri looking Kangaroo on the front doing the Haka (Ka mate, ka mate! ka ora! ka ora!). Anyway, we got to try it, and although amber ale is not 'my style' of beer, I'm happy to see everything coming together so well all the same! I do feel like they should have put Tasting Britain's logo on it somewhere - give Dom his dues...
Aaanyway, this event took place at The Globe, in Moorgate - a historic pub, very near to my new workplace, and one I'd been wanting to check out for quite some time. The Nicholson brothers opened their first pub in 1873. Their founder, William Nicholson, started out in the gin business, running a distillery in London which I think was based in Clerkenwell (the distillery has long since been knocked down). Like many pub chains, Nicholsons are now owned by Mitchells & Butlers, the UKâs largest pub and restaurant group, which are headquartered in Birmingham. They still, however, retain the design of the old âGin Palacesâ of the mid-late 1800s: namely their distinctive black and gold branding - which always tends to draw me in.
More on Nicholson's festival then. It starts on 18th September and runs all the way through to October 4th. Our Haka-Roo will be available at some (but not allâ¦.) of Nicholsons 80 pubs, along with the 5 other beers that various breweries came up with for the festival (think Skinners, The Celt Experience etc). We tried the other 5 as well, and I think of all of them, Skinner's âThe All Blondes' was my personal favourite. Anyway, since it's getting towards winter, they'll be bringing out the darker, stronger styles (my preference when it comes to beer) - so expect more information and pictures of beer and things related to beer in the coming months! Woo!

Cool Globe - "Conserve Water" by Mirjana Ugrinov.
www.coolglobes.org/globe.htm?page=ajaxfiles/globe_34.htm
"What warms the globe as it runs down the drain? The 350 gallons of water that an average American family uses every day. Power plants emitting greenhouse gases go to work every time someone turns on the tap, using electricity to extract, transport, purify, and distribute water. Heating water creates even more globe-warming pollution, with up to 25 percent of a home's energy used to fuel its hot water heater.
To illustrate the importance of water conservation, Mirjana Ugrinov installed a variety of nickel-plated, brass water-saving faucets and handles around her globe. While the fixtures function as decorative elements, their real purpose is to make the viewer think of their own simple ways to conserve, like choosing narrow nozzles. Ugrinov clustered handles over regions that use the most hot and purified water to convey that every drop counts."

The next room on the tour is the Skarbiec Kopernika, or Copernican Treasury. It contains several objects that are amongst the most valuable in the University's collection: a set of three astronomical instruments bequeathed to the University by the astronomer and astrologer Marcin Bylica in 1493. This is one of them, a celestial globe with an attached astrolabe, made by Hans Dorn in Buda, Hungary, in about 1480.

Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames that was destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644.
The modern reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings. It was founded by the actor and director Sam Wanamaker and built about 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre and opened to the public in 1997, with a production of Henry V.
White Globe Lily (Calochortus albus), also called White Fairy Lantern. The examples I saw in the foothills of the Sierras were almost pure white (as shown here). In contrast, the examples I saw in the Bay Area had maroon sepals and maroon patches on the petals.
Most species of Calochortus have flowers that point upward and are shaped like bowls or wine glasses. But a few species of Calochortus, such as this one, have downward facing flowers with petals that curve inward to form a globe.
Location: In El Dorado County on the CA-49 roadside, east of Auburn, California.
surgiu como um clarão
um raio me cortando a escuridão
e veio me puxando pela mão
por onde não imaginei seguir
me fez sentir tão bem, como ninguém
e eu fui me enganando sem sentir
e fui abrindo portas sem sair
sonhando às cegas, sem dormir
não sei quem é você
o amor em seu carvão
foi me queimando em brasa no colchão
e me partiu em tantas pelo chão
me colocou diante de um leão
o amor me consumiu, depois sumiu
e eu até perguntei, mas ninguém viu
e fui fechando o rosto sem sentir
e mesmo atenta, sem me distrair
não sei quem é você
no espelho da ilusão
se retocou pra outra traição
tentou abrir as flores do perdão
mas bati minha raiva no portão
e não mais me procure sem razão
me deixa aqui e solta a minha mão
eu fui fechando o tempo, sem chover
fui fechando os meus olhos, pra esquecer
quem é você?
