The City of Portland purchased the original 40.78 acres (16.5 hectares) in 1871 from Amos King for $32,624, a controversially high price for the time.[3][4] The area, designated "City Park", was wilderness with few roads. Thick brush, trees and roaming cougar discouraged access. In the mid-1880s, Charles M. Meyers was hired as park keeper. A former seaman without landscape training, he transformed the park by drawing on memories of his native Germany and European parks. By 1900, there were roads, trails, landscaped areas with lawns, manicured hedges, flower gardens, and a zoo. Cable cars were added in 1890 and operated until the 1930s.
In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of Olmsted Brothers, a nationally known landscape architecture firm, recommended several changes to the park including the present name, location of the entrance, separate roads and pedestrian paths, and replacement of formal gardens with native species. The name was officially changed from City Park to Washington Park in 1909.[5]
When the county poor farm closed in 1922, the 160 acres (64.75 hectares) were added to Washington Park.
Portland's zoo was founded in Washington Park in 1887 near where the reservoirs are presently located. It moved in 1925 to what is now the Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its present location at the park's southern edge. The only surviving structure from the old zoo is the elephant barn, now converted into a picnic shelter and decorated with tile mosaic of various animals and a life-size brick relief sculpture of an elephant and calf.
The City of Portland plans to demolish the existing number 3 and 4 outdoor reservoirs, then replace them with underground reservoirs covered by reflecting pools, due to their age and a federal mandate to cover all reservoirs.[6] The $67 million project has attracted opposition from historical preservationists and residents concerned about construction impacts.[7]

I am including pictures of some of my belongings, and of my face. My skin breaks out everytime I am homeless for months, at a time, even a day or so, causes my skin to become highly irritated, because, I then have no repite from the harsh weather conditions around me, and no safe and comfortable bed, to sleep in all night, without the frequent interruptions, of rude, Krazy, Crack whores, pimps, and prostitutes, who are looking for another life to ruin, or another straight person to tempt with drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity--I have never been tempted by the illegal world, of dangerous criminality, however, to survive, I know that many others, here in the US, and abroad, have been forced to alter, who they were born innately, in order to live, even unhappily, just 1 more day. I thank God for watching over me, and for keeping me safe, when, no one I knew, was close, or cared enough. Thank you, if in your own humble way, you have contributed to my health, and safety, and well being, and to the health, and safety, and well being of others. A Good Samaratin, is hard to come by these days. They are now being referred to, in more contemporary Americana English, as random acts of kindness--God Bless!
All of the buttons (including the cuffs) are the same size. There's only one spare button included. It's a little cheap, but for $22, I'm not dissapointed. Also, it's so damn long that it'll stay tucked into my pants at work. Awesome.

Summary
Railway viaduct and adjacent piers of an earlier viaduct. 1892 by Sir James Inglis for the South Devon Railway; the earlier viaduct was built in 1848 and designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Reasons for Designation
Ivybridge Viaduct and adjacent piers are designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
* Both the Inglis viaduct and the Brunel viaduct fulfil the criteria for national designation due to their architectural, engineering and historical interest. * The Ivybridge Viaduct is part of a wider group of listed viaducts throughout South Devon each of which contains the standard gauge, late-C19 viaduct together with the redundant piers of a broad gauge, mid-C19 viaduct. These structures demonstrate the significant technological and engineering advancements in the railways throughout that period.
History
The Ivybridge Viaduct was originally designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the South Devon Railway. It was opened in 1848 as part of the Totnes to Laira (Plymouth) line. This line consisted of the last extension of the Great Western Railway from Bristol to Plymouth. Originally built as a broad gauge railway, the line was converted for standard use in 1892 following a merger between South Devon Railway and Great Western Railway in 1876.
Due to the conversion of the line from broad to standard gauge, the original Brunel viaduct was replaced in 1893 by a Viaduct designed by Sir James Inglis, the General Manager and Consulting Engineer of the Great Western Railway.

A second world war relief landing ground (RLG) for nearby RAF South Cerney, Southrop had three grass runways and a host of familiar ancillary buildings including a T1 hangar, blister hangars and a watch office. It was constructed in 1940 and used until the end of the war. Some dates suggest the airfield was finally decomissioned in 1947. The dispersed living accommodation is located in the nearby Macaroni Woods (not visited). Despite being used primarily for flying training, a number of quirky defences remain and warrant further investigation.
1. Pillboxes
There are three pillboxes around the site still in good condition. They are all based around the Norcon type, but not strictly Norcons. Typically precast as a single cylinder, the variants here have been constructed from three concrete sections. One example on the airfield perimeter retains the two part steel band that has been used to tension and keep the sections together. These variants also have a two piece lid. The apex of the lid is removable, possibly to enable the piullbox to fulfil a light anti-aircraft role. What is more interesting is the two double variants that have been constructed.
Two pillboxes side by side, roofs removed, enclosed by ahalf height bright and concrete wall to the front and a full length loopholed wall to the rear, capped with a reinforced concrete roofing slab. The upper portion of the walls have been rendered in a rough cement render. There are two loopholes to the rear, two to the front and two providing enfilade fire.
One of these stands at what has become known as the farmhouse (see below) and the second in a copse at the north eastern end of the airfield. There are subtle differences between each pair shown in the photographs in this album.
2. The Farmhouse
Jumping right in, this building is likely to be post-war, with a cement plaque on the gable end of the house with what is a likely date of 1946. The house has been constructed from concrete blocks, rendered to look like stone. In some images you can see the witness marks of hessian, possibly part of the mould and casting process. The plaque reads BLUE CIRCLE CRESENT. This is probably a makers mark as Blue Circle are a leading manufacturer of cement.
Inside the farmhouse, called such because of its remarkable likeness to a domestic two-storey farmhouse, are remains of fixings for plant. As well as small concrete plinths, pipework at ground level there is a corrugated sump in the floor. The building has two large I-beams across the ceiling of the ground floor, and a substantial roof on the floor above, although the latter has partially collapsed.
The famhouse sits to the rear of a walled compound, at the entrance to which sits one of the twin pillboxes. There are also three concrete foundations, likely for Nissen huts.
Cyanea crispa (Gaudichaud) Lammers, Givnish and Sytsma in the strict sense (not including Rollandia crispa Gaudichaud var. muricata Rock)
Synonym: Rollandia crispa Gaudichaud
Hawaiian names: hāhā, `ōhā, `ōhā wai
Family: Campanulaceae (the bellflower family)
Habit: Plants with somewhat fleshy stems. Immature and young mature plants are often single stemmed. Older plants are usually branched at the base.
Native; endemic to the Ko`olau Mountains of O`ahu.
Habitat: gulch bottoms and lower gulch slopes in mesic-wet and wet forest.
Federally listed as endangered.
Cyanea crispa in the strict sense (not including Rollandia crispa var. muricata) and C. ‘muricata’ (Rollandia crispa var. muricata) appear to be separate taxa. They can be found growing together. I have not yet seen any plants that look intermediate between the two.
Suites feature custom furniture, including an embossed-leather desk with plenty of room to work, a reinterpreted rocker, a custom-woven curvaceous banquette, and a wild swiveling table especially designed for Gordon Ramsay's in-room dining service.

Neighbors, elected officials including Peekskill Mayor Frank Catalina and Councilwoman Kathy Talbot, families, environmental advocates, and concerned New Yorkers marched from Blue Mountain Reservation to a metering and regulating station where Spectra Energy is currently drilling under Route 9; they peacefully shut down construction activities by standing together and preventing Spectra vehicles from entering or leaving the site. Police arrested 21 people. A crowd of about 200 gathered on the sidewalk in a show of community strength and solidarity with those that chose to risk arrest blocking access to the site. City officials, neighbors and activists remained there until noon, keeping vigil for the health and safety of their community.

The most important men (including his children, who are now grown up, but I decided to post some pictures of them with daddy) in his life. John leaving Elvis' house in Bel-Air. Elvis was the Beatles' idol. John often said that 'without Elvis, there wouldn't have been any Beatles'.
Lack
of a lot of things including motivation, led to this photo....just not wanting to participate today, well i shouldn't say that i did and i tried but i didn't have the patience and was fearful of the mauling deer behind me. they seem like they're grazing but we all know you're done for.
so really, who wants some mail? i wonder how much it would cost to ship me somewhere...i should check that at work tomorrow....ha think they'd let me sit on the meter scale?
looks like work saturday.
woo O_o
looks like i'll be there late tomorrow, just because YOU come in at 12 and stay til (or rather SHOULD stay til) 8 doesn't mean i want to come in my normal time and still stay late.... no thanks.
starting later starting next week...i like getting my days over with early...there goes that.
I am including this photo because after the heavy rain subsided these flying bugs started swarming, my guess it that they are subterranean termites, but it was like nothing I had ever seen, if you look at this photo in original size, you can get an idea of how many there were.
The church retains many reminders of its early origins, including: its mainly Decorated chancel, its early 15th century tower & a 13th century four bay arcade. The church’s 19th century refurbishments include the replacement of the south aisle.
Nelson was born in the rectory (his father was the rector here) and following his death the Admiralty gave the church its lectern which is made out of timbers from HMS Victory. The church also contains a large and impressive brass dated 1420 in the floor of the chancel commemorating Sir William Calthorpe.
The church contains only one stained glass window which was made by S C Yarrington.
Detail: Flowers.
The 19th century stained glass in the tracery lights was designed by S C Yarrington. St Peter sits at the top (easily recognisable by the keys he carries), below are depicted the four Evangelists. The greater part of Yarrington’s work was concerned with the installation of collections of foreign glass and little of his “new” glass remains. Here we see an example of his later work where typically he has adopted the old German Rennaissance style that he knew so well from his years of installing it.
Lozzaphoto taken at the Edinburgh Beehive Meetup in November 2008, Backroom.angel in background. Nice to meet Lozzaphoto in person for the first time!
The light for this photograph was provided by bounce from the ceiling from the Metz 45 on full power in the foreground, plus probably a little light leakage towards the face from outside the main beam, plus fill from camera pop up set to -2 stops. The Metz was mounted on a gorillapod sitting on the table and fired by a Cactus V2s radio remote trigger.
