I knew EXACTLY what to scrap today. For Back to School night, my son wrote down his 6th grade schedule. I knew I wanted to include it in the school scrapbook but instead of putting it aside and not remembering I have it when I get to his 6th grade pictures, I picked it up and did it today! Thanks for the push, ladies!
When a Grizzly Bear catches a salmon it usually only eats part of the fish. And not the bits you might expect as they leave the bits humans most like to eat. Bears eat the skin, eggs and brain, which are the fattiest, or most calorific parts of the salmon, then leave the rest. This picky eating is known as high-grading, apparently after miners who sought only high grade ore. When salmon are abundant they can afford to be selective and only eat the high grade bits. But at times when food is scarce they would usually eat the entire fish. They have such an amazing olfactory sense that they can smell whether a salmon is male or female, and they will often discard a male salmon without even taking a mouthful. Typically they will eat ten to twenty salmon a day, but sometimes much more.
I photographed this one peeling the nutritious skin off a salmon in the Nekite River in British Columbia.

All lights are mounted on half pins, which means that they will spin freely. To avoid that oddly looking lamps, you can add few stripes of paper on each pin, locking it securely.
Color grading/toning excersise. Please feel free to give feedback, I'm always trying to learn more!

P61 struggles up one of the steepest mainline grades in America - Five Row, just outside of Salisbury, NC.
As of 2016, all but the 5093 have been rebuilt with new cabs and low short hoods.
Mountains, tunnels, and grades were common on the Norfolk & Western Railroad. Whether in passenger or freight service, the N&W had specific locomotives designed especially for use on their railroad and the challenges it presented. Here a streamlined Class J locomotive pulls its train up the mountain. This scene with the rock wall recreates the grade up Christiansburg Mountain in a location just west of Roanoke, Virginia.

The Odeon was built for and operated by Oscar Deutsch’s Odeon Theatres’s Ltd chain, the 42nd to be built for the circuit. It was designed by Harry Weedon assisted by architect J. Cecil Clavering of the Harry Weeden Partnership.
It opened on 18th April 1936 with Jessie Matthews in “First a Girl”. The cinema is located just outside the town centre on a prominent corner position of the main Birmingham Road at Maney Corner and Holland Road, Maney.
Considered to be one of the best designed Odeon Theatre’s (Odeon Harrogate is an almost exact copy), the low corner entrance is dominated by a high ‘fin’ tower on the left which originally had the word ‘Cinema’ on top. Inside the auditorium seating was provided for 1,600; 1,028 in the stalls and 572 in the balcony. A sleek Art Deco style of decoration was within the auditorium that was illuminated by concealed lighting set into troughs across the ceiling.
It was one of the first of the original Odeon’s to be tripled and became a three-screen cinema from 9th April 1972. The balcony was kept intact with a seating capacity slight increased to 591, while two mini cinemas were created in the rear stalls under the balcony which each seated 132. In 1987 a fourth screen seating 330 was added in the former front stalls area.
The Odeon Sutton Coldfield was one of several Odeons taken over by the Irish-based Ward-Anderson Cinemas in March 2006. Trading under the Empire Cinemas name, it has been renamed the Empire Cinema. Seating capacities in the screens are now; 1. 592, 2. 135, 3. 100 and 4. 329.
On 18th November 1998, the then Odeon Cinema was designated a Grade II Listed building.
Sherlock.
This almost deserted town was a busy hub in early years. The Pinnaroo railway came through here in 1906 and this was an important siding as it was the nearest to the town of Karoonda to its north. This importance did not last as the railway line went through to Karoonda in March of 1912. The Hundred of Sherlock was gazetted in 1899 and the town was proclaimed in 1906 and named after a friend of Governor Buxton. There was soon a Post office and general store in Sherlock. Near the town was a government bore for a water supply to residents, trains and farms although most farms soon had their own bores. The Baptists were strong in this district and a wooden and iron Baptist church was built in 1908. In 1912 this was replaced with the fine stone edifice that still stands in Sherlock. A government primary school opened in Sherlock in the old Baptist church in 1911 and it moved into the stone Baptist church in 1912. Early crops at Sherlock produced high yields. Some got 18 bushels per acre but this soon fell to 7 or 8 bushel per acre in a good year. Although Sherlock was a reasonably prosperous district its stone institute and hall was not completed until 1927 as the Baptist Church was always used for town meetings, polling booth functions etc. In 1930 the government built a fine stone and brick school room at Sherlock. That building closed as a school in 1970, ten years after other schools in the district closed to support Coomandook Area School. It then became a school camp for city schools but it is now a private residence. The District Council of Peake was formed in 1911 and it covered the towns of Moorlands, Sherlock, Peake, Ki Ki and Yumali. The first District Clerk lived for decades in Sherlock and when new Council Chambers were built in 1973 they were located in Sherlock instead of Peake. The District Council of Peake closed in 1997 when part of it was amalgamated into the Coorong Council with Meningie, Coonalpyn etc. One highlight for the locals was the official Vice Regal visit to Sherlock by the Governor and his party in 1962. Like some other Mallee towns Sherlock and Moorlands (also Coomandook, Yumali etc) all supervised Italian prisoners of war during World War Two. Labour was short and these prisoners of war were important to maintain agricultural production. Today Sherlock has no public services and few residents.
