Launched in late September of 1976, the 1977 Caprice Classic was drastically downsized, which reduced its weight and exterior dimensions, while increasing headroom, rear-seat legroom and trunk space compared to 1976 models. GM called its downsizing program Project 77 and invested $600 million to develop the most changed full-size Chevrolet to date. The weight reductions from the 1976 models were 611 lb (277 kg) for coupes, 637 lb (289 kg) for sedans and 871 lb (395 kg) for wagons. The 1977 Caprice coupe and sedan were over 10 inches (250 mm) shorter while the wagon was 14 inches (360 mm) shorter. Wheelbases were reduced to 116 inches (2,900 mm) from 121.5 inches (3,090 mm) for coupes and sedans and 125 inches (3,200 mm) for wagons. Width was reduced by 4 inches (100 mm) for sedans and coupes; the wagon's width remained virtually unchanged. Heights were increased by 2.5 inches (64 mm) and trunk capacities were increased to 20.9 cubic feet (0.59 m3) for sedans and 19.8 cubic feet (0.56 m3) for coupes.
Although by modern standards, the 1977 downsized Chevrolet cars are quite large, the new Chevrolet had exterior dimensions closer to the intermediates of its day. The 1977 Caprice shared the same 116-inch (2,900 mm) wheelbase of the intermediate-sized Chevrolet Chevelle;
Station wagon models received a new three-way tailgate for 1977; the clamshell tailgate was gone. The three-seat models featured a rear-facing third seat for two occupants making these cars eight-passenger models. The cargo capacity was reduced to 87 cubic feet (2,500 L), and although the station wagon could still carry a 4 ft × 8 ft (1.2 m × 2.4 m) sheet of plywood, this could now only be done with the tailgate down. The station wagons use the coil spring suspension in the rear, as for the sedans and coupes.

Belgenland was built by Harland & Wolff of Belfast; Ireland and launched on 31 Dec 1914. It was renamed as Belgic in 1917 and used as a cargo ship for the White Star Line; renamed Belgenland; she sailed first on 14 April; 1923 for the Red Star Line until 1934 when it was transferred to the Panama-Pacific Line in 1934 and renamed Columbia. It was scrapped in Scotland in 1936.

The Annie Mellor is a passenger vessel built in 1932 by Borwick & Sons as a houseboat for Sir George Mellor, JP. At the time, there was seating for 120 with accommodation for 40 in the cabin which was furnished in blue velvet with mahogany and brass fittings. It arrived at Derwentwater in 1935 and after a total rebuild in 2008 is in regular use.
Annie Mellor was the sister of Sir George Mellor, JP, who was appointed a knighthood in 1921 for public and national services, particularly in connection with The King’s Lancashire Military Convalescent Hospital, Blackpool.

Built 1943 at the Ranelagh Yard, Wooton Creek, Isle of Wight as an Air Sea Rescue Launch for the RAF, GEORGE HAIG has a mahogany double diagonal hull and Perkins diesel engines which replaced the original Perkins petrol engines when she was de-commissioned in 1947. She was taken on charge on 1st June 1943 at Calshot in 238MU, and originally allocated to the base but was transferred to the Admiralty on 23rd February 1944.
She was converted by Leo Robinson (possibly at Tewkesbury) in May 1944 and allocated to Special Forces for Operation Overlord serving with ANCXF (Allied Naval Command eXpeditionary Force). This group was the Anglo-American force that made all the preparations for the invading forces in Normandy. She was allocated to HMS LUCIFER at Swansea on 24th May 1944 and after D-Day was re-allocated to HMS VECTIS in December 1944, She was utilized for boarding party duties until HMS VECTIS was decommissioned in May 1945. Later that year she was laid up but was retained for re-allocation. Two such allocations were authorized but both were subsequently cancelled and on the 10th December 1945 she was laid up at DSCD at Poole.
She was registered as PINNACE at Poole (she was registered as no 17 in Poole 1949) to Maurice Wilkinson Derrick, Redhall, Roestock, St Albans, Staffs. She was then purchased by R.G. Davidge on 1 April 1961for £3100 from John Peate, 30 Elgin Court, Parkstone, Dorset. On Sunday 20 August 1961, PINNACE was rescued by the Shoreham lifeboat after going to the help of a capsized dinghy, when the rigging and sails of the dinghy had fouled her propeller.
In the 1961 season, she visited Shoreham (home port), Gosport, Cowes, Le Havre, Newhaven and Shoreham. In 1962, she visited Pin Mill and Harwich. In October 1962 she was renamed GEORGE HAIG. In 1965/66 she underwent an alteration to make a saloon over the engine room. In the 1960s, she cruised extensively from Lands End to Harwich, Holland, Belgium and through the French canals.
In 1971 immediately after R.G. Davidge had sold GEORGE HAIG, her new owners were arrested for drug smuggling. From 1971 – 1987 her whereabouts were not known, but in 1987 she was bought by Mike Johnson who kept her at Essex Marina on the River Crouch until 1998 and then moved her to Dauntless Boat Yard, Canvey Island.
She is now moored at Leigh on Sea and has her original wheelhouse together with equipment and controls. Her engines are still installed and could be restored to working order. She is one of only a few surviving RAF Air Sea Rescue Launches from the approximately 30 built at Ranelagh Yard in the Isle of Wight in the early 1940s.

Looks like France, doesn't it? I'm guessing that this ship has something to do with Southern Gas of El Paso, Texas. Can anyone identify what kind of ship this is? I'm guessing a tanker.

Greater Manchester Police has launched its Christmas campaign today as part of ‘GMP Christmas’, tackling crime and protecting vulnerable people over the festive period.
This year’s online Advent campaign sees a festive cast take over usual TV programming with the launch of Tinsel TV. A new video will be released every day from 1 December, which sees Rudolph, Snowman and a Big Bad Wolf join Santa and his helpers as they host a series of TV programmes with crime prevention advice for the residents of Greater Manchester.
GMP is encouraging people to think about how they might keep themselves safe, and to consider what their present to, or presence within, their community, family or friendships might be.
At the same time, the campaign will showcase the promises that GMP makes to the public at Christmas and all year round, using a mixture of law enforcement and public engagement to protect the local communities.
Operationally, high-visibility patrols will be in place across the region to detect and deter criminal activity, as well as providing reassurance and assistance. There will also be 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
Purse bells and other crime prevention tools will be handed out to shoppers in town centres to keep thieves at bay, and police are also maintaining a strong presence around car parks to help prevent items being stolen from vehicles.
The Christmas drink and drug drive operation, which also starts today (1 December 2015), will continue throughout the month and officers will be testing motorists around the clock and reinforcing the ‘none for the road’ message.
In addition, officers and cadets will be delivering hampers to the elderly and those in need, and the public will be given a live insight into the world of policing on one of the busiest days of the year – Mad Friday.
Assistant Chief Constable John O’Hare said:
“This time of year is a busy one for the force and our colleagues across the emergency services, and we have been thoroughly preparing for the festive period.
“Our top priority is making sure that the people of Greater Manchester enjoy Christmas in the safest possible manner.
“It can be a very busy time of year, but we are asking the public to take some time to have a think about what their Christmas present might be to their community or family. Whether you promise to visit an elderly relative or neighbour, or volunteer to be the designated driver for friends on a night out, we can all do our part to keep ourselves and others safe this season.
“This Christmas, GMP will be present to tackle criminals and protect the people of Greater Manchester. We hope our neighbourhoods can embrace the spirit of community this Christmas and share their presence, too.”
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said:
“Christmas brings out the best in Greater Manchester people – the majority of whom are generous and warm-hearted. I hope people will tap into that festive community spirit and look out for older friends and neighbours who perhaps need a little help and company this year.
“There will always be those who want to spoil the party for everyone, so please take care of yourself and your friends when you’re out enjoying yourselves, and make sure everyone gets home safe and sound.”
People can post their Christmas promises online using one of the GMP templates, available at www.gmp.police.uk.
People can also visit the website to check out the daily videos giving seasonal crime prevention advice, or follow #GMPChristmas on social media for the latest police activity throughout December.

You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.

A Gull takes off as I am about to take a picture of it, which I am quite pleased with. This was quite lucky really, as if I had wanted to take a picture of a gull taking off I would have always been too late pressing the blasted shutter release button!
This took a fair amount of processing as it was taken in very low light levels (hence the slight blur - my camera was set up for a stationary gull, not one flapping its wings!) In essence after the normal levels and curves I used a duplicate layer to sharpen just the gull and its platform with the retinex filter in the Gimp. The unwanted parts of the background were deleted, and the layer pulled down to 60% opacity and out into overlay mode.
(I didn't blur the background any more than it already was, I just didn't bother to sharpen it.)
