It's hard to make out in the dark, by the light of the TV (now playing some "In The 90s" SNL special), but there are arcs that roughly encircle the back left leg of the bookcase (top left in the pic), indicating where, and how I should place the fixed wheels I bought.
See the secret lair bookcase door in action on YouTube here, and here!
On the 26th September I finally visited this museum. After seeing it many years living in the south of England I had never been to visit it. Even though I was in the Royal Navy myself. The Fleet Air Arm Museum RNAS Yeovilton,Ilchester, Somerset. BA22 8HT is devoted to the history of British naval aviation. It has an extensive collection of military and civilian aircraft, aero engines, models of aircraft and Royal Navy ships ( including aircraft carriers ), and paintings and drawings related to naval aviation. It is located on RNAS Yeovilton airfield, and the museum has viewing areas where visitors can watch military aircraft ( especially the helicopters ) take off and land. It is located 7 miles ( 11 km ) north of Yeovil, and 40 miles ( 64 km ) south of Bristol. The cafe area was a bit like it was detached from the rest of the museum and I found staff there quite hard work, I went in at 03.00pm and they said they had no hot food they were closing in 15 minutes! Even though the opening time on the website said ~ Please note our Restaurant will open everyday unless otherwise stated, ( there were no signs otherwise ) 0930-1700 for the duration of our summer opening hours. The staff on reception in the Museum were great, helpful also. Sadly after waiting so long to visit this place I found it all a little tired and lacking interest in the place like Haynes International Motor Museum I went to last week.
The history of the Royal Navy is preserved for the benefit of today's and future generations by the National Museum of the Royal Navy ( NMRN ) which includes four museums of the Royal Navy ( NMRN ) Portsmouth & HMS Victory, Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Fleet Air Arm Museum and the Royal Marines Museum. Together they tell the story of the Royal Navy - on the Sea, under the Sea, in the Air and on the Land.
As much an attraction as it is a museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum is where Museum meets theatre. You’ll fly by helicopter to the replica flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMS ARK ROYAL where you‘ll see fighter aircraft and two enormous projection screens showing a Phantom interceptor fighter and a Buccaneer strike bomber. You’ll experience the thrills and sounds of a flight deck, and feel the wind in your hair so to speak and will even see a nuclear bomb! The Museum has the largest collection of Naval aircraft anywhere in Europe and the first British built Concorde which you can go on board and view the cockpit.

It was not to be for Ribble Wanderers as the came up against a very strong Southport team in the Guild Cup Final at the Lancashire FA ground.
Southport scored 2 goals in each half to take the trophy.
I love Sujeonggwa/수정과 = punch made from dried persimmons, ginger, and cinnamon.

It would seem that the workshop on the eft had a window onto the graveyard - was the company Jewish, with connections to the cemetery.....
Since it began, #AWEP has brought over 200 women to the U.S. to exchange ideas, forge new networks, and explore American approaches to business growth, innovation, and advocacy.
It's not a matter of need so much as want. So impressed have I been with my Nikon 70-300 VR that I WANT this lens, too.
This too, shall come to pass!
It was a really nice day here in Alabama yesterday (1/6/11) So me and my wife (Liz) went riding around roads in her old hood. We use to ride these roads all the time as teens but this is the first time in, Oh…15 years since I seen this bridge. Last time I was here it was washed out. gone. Its hard to imagine the water got that high but it did, or has. I don’t know the name of this creek, But I’m sure it has one.
I bet Ya’ll Thought I Just Photographed Old Houses and Cars.

I am always amazed by what wanders into my suburban backyard! During the springtime, it is not uncommon to find a pair of mallards in our pool. Every now and then, at the end of summer, a lone female claims our pool and surrounding bushes as her own for several days....every time, I have discovered that this duck cannot fly. My suspicion is that the duck is going through a molt, and she is waiting for her primaries to grow in. This duck, after her discovery by our cat, was around for 5 days. Despite the presence of both the cat and our Labrador Retriever, who jumps right in with her, if allowed, she knows just where to hide and when it is safe to come out of the pool and preen. Each time this has happened, we awake one morning to find that Ms. Mallard has moved on!
It was a beautiful day today, so I took the motorcycle out. Did a ride all the way to Grants on old route 66, did not touch I-40.
It does'nt look it but this retro angora sweater is now the size to fit a 2 year old toddler...hmmmmm knitting bag for my fav knit bud?????

ROMA ARCHEOLOGIA e RESTAURO ARCHITETTURA: Roma: riaprono i Fori Imperiali, ma è polemica politica, DIRETTA NEWS.IT (10|11|2014).
“Dopo un sopralluogo effettuato su via dei Fori Imperiali, durante il quale il professore Rocco Sgherzi, dell’Universita La Sapienza, e i tecnici intervenuti mi hanno aggiornato sul risultato delle indagini effettuate sui pini a seguito dell’incidente di ieri, abbiamo appreso che occorre effettuare interventi di riduzione del rischio su tre alberi che insistono direttamente sul viale e su altri tre presenti all’interno delle aree archeologiche. Le operazioni saranno effettuate dal Servizio Giardini dopo nuovi sopralluoghi insieme alla Sovraintendenza dei Beni ambientali e paesaggistici”. A dare l’annuncio, nel pomeriggio di oggi, l’assessore all’Ambiente di Roma Capitale, Estella Marino.
Prosegue la componente della giunta guidata da Ignazio Marino: “Il problema riscontrato sul pino caduto riguardava un’anomalia dell’apparato radicale non riscontrabile ad un’analisi visiva di superficie. Pertanto i tecnici hanno effettuato un controllo più approfondito (scollettamento) sugli apparati radicali di tutte le piante del viale in base al quale è emersa una situazione analoga su altre sei. Dalle analisi condotte è stata rilevata, inoltre, l’esigenza di programmare un intervento di risagomatura delle aiuole, per permettere una maggiore crescita in profondità delle radici. A breve sarà riaperta via Dei Fori Imperiali, fatta salva una parte riservata ai cantieri che interesserà la corsia di destra che va da Piazzale Madonna di Loreto a Largo Corrado Ricci”.
Dall’opposizione, replica il vicepresidente dell’Assemblea Capitolina, Giordano Tredicine, giovane esponente di Forza Italia: “Fa piacere constatare che l’assessore all’Ambiente Estella Marino, anche se è stato necessario che un albero crollasse praticamente sotto il Campidoglio per richiamare la sua attenzione, sembri finalmente iniziare ad interessarsi concretamente al problema della manutenzione delle alberature. Siamo sulla buona strada”.
Prosegue Tredicine: “Ora, il passo successivo è valicare i confini del Campo Marzio ed estendere questa raggiunta consapevolezza e questo nuovo impegno agli altri circa 1000 km² di città che si sviluppano al di là di essi, dove, cittadini con pari dignità e diritti di quelli che vivono nel centro storico attendono da oltre un anno che venga fatto ciò che ai Fori Imperiali è stato avviato in meno di un giorno”.

Got an excellent wedding present. On the box it said "Grow a new wife... doesn't talk too much, keeps her opinions to herself, grows 6 times original size". So I tested it out. You put her in a glass of water, and after 72 hours, wham!
The other day I threw on a vertically-striped shirt and a dark-blue knit tie and then -- a tieclip. You be the judge, but I think the horizontal line of the tieclip sets the whole thing off: you notice the vertical lines more. Alan Flusser points out that "Tie bars also add a measure of panache for those shorter men who must tuck their four-in-hands into their trouser tops, a la Fred Astaire." He also suggests that "many aficionados cant theirs downward to affect a more casual air." Oops, guess mine is angled up here... Anyway, If you try a tieclip, be careful: I suggest clipping a bit more than halfway up your tie/torso. Going below will drag you down visually...
