Dear dolly friends, please help me identify these clothes. NOT the doll, but the dress. I got the Barbie (?) wearing this costume when I was around 11, she was my first fashion doll. Unfortunately she was eaten by my mom's dog, so now I don't have her. But I soooo want to find her. So please, help me if you know that doll who wore it. She also had long red boots, not these sandals. Thank you! (she was blonde and had bendable knees if it helps...)
The #MacroMondays #Anachronism theme
A traditional police whistle, still issued to police officers today, although only usually carried when in ceremonial uniform. An officer in trouble at night was advised to blow the whistle and flash his torch in the direction from where he expected help to come. How to achieve that feat that while simultaneously battling with a ne’er do well was never satisfactorily explained.
Police issued torches were pretty useless anyway. PC-turned-author Harry Cole described how, unless meticulously dried after duty, they would rapidly corrode and the batteries would leak. The result was that many an officer returned from leave and opened their locker to discover that their torch had adopted the form of a cauliflower. Most officers ended up buying their own superior models, even though Police Regulations prohibited the on-duty carrying of any equipment not issued by Their Police Force, itself an anachronistic term. The preferred description these days is 'police service.'
I digress! This whistle is laid upon a police tunic, again issued but not generally used other than for ceremony or the other-worldly (and at times almost theatrical) crown court where the judge is dressed in wig and traditional robes, and the barristers in their formal black gowns over sober suits, and wearing horsehair wigs.
The photo was taken window lit with a foil reflector and my bike light used to reduce foreground shadow. Saturation was reduced, a low opacity sepia layer, some grain and a gentle vignette added.
HMM all.
The Friday prior I was chasing FL9s on Cape Cod and a week later I'm in the Wasatch Mountains on my beloved Grande. It just didn't seem real....and looking back it still doesn't.
This day seemed as if it might have been 1996 all over again! There were 10 trains in daylight and we shot 7 of them on the old Rio Grande including four on the lightly used mainline across the desert between Helper and Grand Junction on UP's Green River Sub.
Anyway, here is just one from earlier this amazing morning. After meeting a coal empty headed down the Pleasant Valley Branch to Skyline Mine the "Helper Helpers" backed through the crossovers and flew west around a disabled MofW vehicle. They were headed down the hill to help a loaded GREX slot train up the mountain. We'd see that much later, but after this shot we had to head east for a date with another once a week train on a certain branchline on an obscure corner of the old Rio Grande.
I hope you enjoy this shot of what may be the last regular manned Helper job on the entire Union Pacific.

While one set of helpers shoves a loaded oil train up and over Bozeman Pass, another helper set waits in the siding at Muir, having just shoved a grain train over the hill. The helpers would follow each other back east to Livingston.

Hello everyone,
I need your help! This darwing above took me more or less 5,5 hours to draw (not sure if that’s slow or not). This is a free commission for my friend. I’m thinking about taking paid commissions but I still can’t figure out prices. So here is my question to you. How much would you be willing to pay for a sketch like this? This is just an example.
Thanks in advance!
Help!!! The kimberley.
Please read on.
This is shot 2 of my save the kimberley awareness campaign.
A good result on the previous photo thanks to your comments and favs we got it to explore and 300+ views to date and at least 2 people that were previously unaware have joined in and helped the cause.
Thank you

As far as I can tell from their profiles they are not from Australia.
Im not suggesting that none of my Australian contacts did anything upon reading my plea.
Please tell me that is not the case.
With these kind of environmental issues it follows similar procedure a lot of the time.
-The government approves the development
- Then the future of the development going ahead in these environmentally sensitive areas is largely dependant on how loud and how many people make noise.
what difference can one voice or one signature make by its self it is only small. however when combined with many others it can be very powerful.
How can we help?
awareness is a powerful tool.
Take 10min out of your day, it might just make the difference.
-post a link on your photo uploads and spread the word.
- post a link on any other social media you use.
-has several address's of influential people to send old fashioned letters to.

Do either of these girls have Saran? I couldn't tell by sticking my fingers in the back of the box, LOL. So I ended up picking them both up and if one or both of them don't have saran, I send 'em back. :)
Do you think he is angry with me?
Thank you all very much! This picture made it to Explore # 97 on dec.14 2006
Can anyone help with the ID of this one - After spending to long trying to ID it time to ask the experts.
My first thought was that it was a Ford GT Mk.2, track day version of the 2nd generation GT, but there are aerodynamic differances, the 0404 registration would alo hint at being the $ 1.7 dollar GT Mk.IV version of the same, but that looks way to different.
So if anyone can put this to rest, i would appreciate it. Shot 05.06.2021 at the June Bicester Scramble

Even in the mountains of West Virginia, it got VERY hot Memorial Day Weekend... So after a good walk, Pogo was pretty toasty! Conveniently, we found a nice, cool cistern to dunk him in!! (much to his dismay...) ;-)
UP 8939 is getting ready to pull forward onto the main line and have the two manned helpers attach to the rear for the climb up the Cascades.
Something a little different from Me. This is one of my helpers in "scrub"control at my local reserve that I check. He is around 20yrs old and has been working everyday without "complaining" .We couldn't do without him.
The 552 loaded coal train led by the PC Unit has NS AC44C6M 4005 as one of the helpers instead of the usual SD40-2.
Need help with identifying this bird. I want to say it is a lesser yellowlegs since there were both species present this morning. The bill is throwing me off, i have never seen a lesser yellowlegs with a bill like that. If anyone knows, i would appreciate it if you would let me know, Thanks!

I have been going through my Nashville photos again this week, the flooding of that area a month after our visit there was just devastating. Not a lot of media coverage on this catastrophe since the oil spill and the unsuccessful car bomb in Times Square were more prominent on the news stations.
Dear friends and supermodels,
Sorry to inform you that i may not be online as frequent as before, sadly i
have found the lumps inside my right breast and micro-calcification on left one.
through my first annual mammogram check. Idont know that it can happens to 20s and 30s of age.It was supposed to be an normal annual body check. No pain at the moment and it is so tiny that i can't even feel it.
the Mammogram result shows the early stage of the breast cancer cells, and need
to be removed as soon as possible.
thank you for your warm regards and support, i will be strong and fight the cancer and luckily i found it at early stage and it is not fatal. However, with the unexpected shock at young age, i have the financial burden on the surgery cost, {{BSD Design studio}} is Now at 50% sale and hopefully can help abit on the surgery fee in near future. Please please please check breast on daily basis, i dont'know that the lumps can be developed at 20s and 30s of age. and after finding the hard lump on my right breast, i went to see the dr with mammogram scanned and found this shocking news. luckily it can be cured at early stage and one moment i found the death is being so close. the steoreostatic core needle biopsy showned abnormal cells developed in the breast structure and if i found it at later stage while it can developed to big tumor size and the % of survival rate will be greatly reduced. IT is not painful and NO syndrom if you dont' check it carefully,at the moment, it is NOT painful and the size of the lump is so tiny that i can't even feel it! I was just doing my annual body check when the nurse told me the shocking news which i need to see the dr urgently. stay away from high pressure environment, work load, stay away from unhealthy food such as chicken wings, which has alot of bad hormornes in it, stay away from chips and coke ... .and those can cause cancer too, must work out daily , at least 4 hours a week. Stay away from BBQ food and red meat, those toxics inside can cause your life. Brocolli, eat alot of vegetables, and red plants, fruits ,berries can help!
God bless me and god bless you !

My two cents to the B.M. (The Big Mess).
Yahoo´s behavior on important issues such as the free speech debate in China and what´s happening here in Flickr right now are very sad stories.
I´m not sure if Yahoo and Flickr are really blocking content due to local legal restrictions (nude content is not forbidden in Germany, for instance) or if they are just taking [bad] management decisions.
Filtering mature content is a parenthood and family issue. The existing filters are already useful for this kind of situation.
Blocking content is not a serious solution. Which is the next country?

Flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Moeglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!
We are the users - don't forget that flickr!
Deswegen treten wir gemeinsam in Aktion und zeigen allen, das uns das nicht gefällt was flickr mit uns macht! Füge das Bild zu deinen Favoriten hinzu und poste es!
In English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea, you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service, and therefore won’t be able to turn off SafeSearch.
In other words, german users can't access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...
We won't let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are.
Espanol:
No sé cuando, pero muy recientemente a las cuentas de Alemania, Hong Kong, Corea y Singapur les han prohibido ver las fotos que están en el Safe Search, las mismas en las que a nosotros nos dan la opcíón de ver o no ver. A ellos simplemente se lo prohiben. Chale no?
Francais:
Si votre compte Yahoo! est basé à Singapour, à Hong Kong, en Corée ou en Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui n'ont pas été marquées comme ayant un contenu qui peut choquer. Toutes les autres ne vous seront pas accessibles. Vous serez donc condamnés à ne voir que des paysages et des fleurs. Il ne faut pas laisser faire ça. Envoyez cette photo sur votre compte pour montrer à Flickr que nous savons nous mobiliser contre la censure !

"I just want to write you a letter. I have to be very honest with you right now. I don't really know how to say this... "
I wanna believe
But I'm having a hard time seeing past what I see right now, I see right now
I wanna be free
But when I try to fly I realize I don't know how, no one showed me how
Wish I could see that this mess I'm in will really work out for my good, you said it would
So, if you can hear me, can you give me a sign cause I don't feel you like I should, please if you could
My faith is almost gone, I can't hold on much longer, take this cup from me
Help me Believe
Can I believe
Let Me believe
I wanna believe
I'm no good on my own, please give me another chance
It's hard to believe in what I can't see
To give you my will cause you're what's better for
You can look in my eyes and see I wanna believe, believe, believe, believe
(I want you to know)
I wanna believe
If I never hear I'm sorry I can let it go, gotta let you go
Cause, it's killing me. Jesus you know how it feels cause you've been hurt before, don't wanna hurt no more
I'm trying to hear you speak, but my heart is growing weaker, take this cup from me
Help me Believe
Can I Believe
Let me Believe
I wanna Believe
I've been here before and can't take that hurt again
It's hard to believe in what I can't see
To give you my will cause you're what's better for
You can look in my eyes and see I wanna believe, believe, believe, believe
Believe
Believe
I wanna believe when I close my eyes on this side I'll wake up with you, more in love with you
And, and finally, you will say my race it is over and my work is through, cause I believed in you
I know dark nights will come and some days there'll be no sunshine and you're too far to see
