More camel shots! Love camels! :)
Lunch break.
This is Rodger, the lead camel in 'our' string. He carried the kitchen gear, two swags and 2 x 20 litres of Port. Towards the end of the hike, when the two jerry cans of Port were almost empty I was able to load and unload him by myself which I really enjoyed! :) Three of the camels in our string were just like big pets, nice to handle and very patient.
There was a time when I though camels were native to Australia. It did not quite make sense, but at that time I did not have any other explanation.

This one was a little crazy but the result is kind of fun. After doing the air jet into colored water I decided to try the same thing with molten lead.
You don't see that kind of thing often.
I needed a little more preparation. You need some distance with flying molten lead.
The air went through a jury rigged sprinkler valve, the same valve I used for my original air cannon. I re-wired the switch so I could be further away (about six feet). The air jet generated about ten pounds of lift so I rigged up a bunch of lab clamps to keep everything somewhat in place. The lead was melted using my backpacking stove. I was little worried about the lead falling on the fuel canister, but I used a nearly empty one in case it did decide to explode.
Everything worked fine on the first try, but I had forgotten to increase the camera sample time and missed most of the action. The second try went fine.
The whole thing was complicated by the 15-30 mph wind gusts today. Damn Santa Ana's. But it beats cowering inside cursing the weather.
Cheers.

Watch me tip all on it
You gotta keep your balance
Or you fall into the gap
It's a challenge
But I manage
Cause I'm cautious with the strap
Some callin' me a sinner
Some callin' me a winner
I'm callin' you to dinner
And you know exactly what I mean,
Yeah I'm talkin' bout you
You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you
Now whether I'm high or low
(High or low)
Whether I'm high or low
(High or low)
I'm gonna tip on the tightrope
(Tip, tip on it)

Stan Van Gundy
College - SUNY-Brockport
In just two years as an NBA head coach, Stan Van Gundy’s list of accomplishments is quite impressive and continues to grow rapidly. Since being named the fifth head coach in franchise history and taking over the reigns from HEAT President Pat Riley on Oct. 24, 2003, Van Gundy has guided Miami to two postseason berths, a Southeast Division championship, 101 regular season wins and 17 postseason victories. The 17 postseason victories rank third in the NBA over the two-year period and the 101 regular season wins stand as the fifth highest mark in the league. Additionally, in each of his two years as a head coach he has guided the HEAT to a 17-win improvement over the previous season, making him only the second coach in NBA history to lead his team to at least 15-win improvements in consecutive years.
Following a legend in any business is tough, and in coaching circles there are few that measure up to Riley, a sure Hall-of-Famer. Van Gundy, however, has rewarded Riley’s confidence in him and is developing his own legacy. In his two seasons he has guided two vastly different rosters and led each of those teams to at least the conference semifinals, only the third and fourth times in franchise history that the HEAT has advanced to the second round of the NBA Playoffs and the first time it has been accomplished in consecutive years. Last season he took the HEAT a step further, guiding Miami to the Eastern Conference Finals for only the second time in the team’s history and came within several minutes of reaching the finals. His .607 postseason winning percentage ranks 10th on the NBA’s all-time list and fourth among active coaches. Van Gundy’s 17 postseason wins rank second on Miami’s all-time list, one behind Riley, and both his postseason and regular season (.616) winning percentages rank first in HEAT history. He has also guided Miami to its only two four-game postseason sweeps, eliminating both New Jersey and Washington in four games during the magical 2005 postseason run. The eight consecutive postseason victories established a franchise record.
His regular season success during the first half of the 2004-05 season earned him the honor of being named the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Stars for the 2005 NBA All-Star Game in Denver. Van Gundy was the first Miami HEAT coach to serve as an All-Star head coach and guided the Eastern Conference All-Stars to a 10-point victory.
After an outstanding rookie year in which he took a team that had won 25 games the previous year, and with a couple of key additions, turned it into a 42-win playoff team, expectations where high for Van Gundy and the HEAT for the 2004-05 season. Those expectations rose even higher after Riley pulled off a blockbluster trade acquiring All-Star Shaquille O’Neal. Van Gundy once again proved up to the challenge leading the HEAT, with 11 new players during the 2004-05 season, to a 59-23 record and earning the top record in the Eastern Conference. The 59 wins marked the second-best single-season total in franchise history and allowed the HEAT to capture the inaugural Southeast Division title by a whopping 14 games over its next closest competitor, the largest margin for any division winner in the NBA in 2004-05. In fact the 14-win edge over the second place division finisher was the largest in the NBA since the Chicago Bulls won the Central Division by 20 games over its next closest competitor in the 1995-96 season. One of the keys to Miami’s success in 2004-05 was dominating its division rivals. The HEAT posted a 15-1 record and .938 winning percentage against Southeast Division foes, setting an NBA record in the process for best divisional record. The HEAT tied eventual NBA champion San Antonio for the second best overall record in the NBA in 2004-05. Miami’s 35-6 mark at home was the best in the Eastern Conference and second best in the league while its 24-17 road mark topped the Eastern Conference and ranked fifth in the league.
A three-time Eastern Conference Coach of the Month in his two seasons, Van Gundy received the league honor twice during the 2004-05 campaign. It didn’t take long for Miami’s new additions to accept the coach’s philosophy and produce positive results. Van Gundy was tabbed the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month in December after guiding the HEAT to a 14-1 record. The 14 wins and .933 winning percentage each set franchise records for a single month. Van Gundy also grabbed the honor in March after directing the HEAT to a 12-3 mark. Major winning streaks played a huge part in Van Gundy earning the monthly honors. The HEAT went on a franchise-record 14-game winning streak from Dec. 6-Jan. 1 and reeled off 12 straight victories from Feb. 26-Mar. 19. In the process, Van Gundy’s HEAT became the first Eastern Conference team with a pair of double-digit winning streaks in the same season since the 1995-96 NBA champion Chicago Bulls.
Although he has always emphasized defense first, Van Gundy also stressed the importance of teamwork and shot selection on the offensive end. During the 2004-05 campaign, the HEAT set a franchise-record by shooting 48.6 percent from the floor as a team, a +.061 improvement over the 2003-04 season. The +.061 improvement was easily tops in the league nearly doubling the next best improvement. Twelve of Miami’s 14 players with at least one year of NBA experience improved their shooting percentage from the previous season, with five of those players establishing career highs. The effort translated on the scoreboard as the HEAT set a team record with 50 100-point games. Defensively the team still remained one of the league’s best ranking first in blocked shots, fourth in field goal percentage defense and eighth in fewest points allowed per game.
Always known throughout the league for his work ethic and attention to detail, Van Gundy was put to the test early in his initial season after Riley decided to step down before the start of the season and give the team a new look. Although the announcement on October 24, 2003 might have come as a shock to most, the well-prepared Van Gundy was ready to tackle the challenge. He had spent the previous eight years, including six as the team’s assistant head coach, sitting on the HEAT bench next to Riley, who ranks third all-time in NBA coaching victories. Despite a rash of injuries early and an unforgiving schedule which saw the HEAT drop its first seven contests, Van Gundy never panicked and showed the poise of a veteran as he guided the HEAT in the right direction and a 42-40 regular season mark. The 42 victories tied him with his predecessor Riley for the most by an individual in his first season as a HEAT head coach.
Van Gundy’s inaugural season as a head coach resulted in Miami’s first playoff berth in three years. In the process the HEAT became just the fourth team since the NBA went to its current playoff format in 1983-84 to make the playoffs after starting the season with at least seven consecutive losses. He guided Miami to a 17-win improvement over the previous season, the second best single-season improvement in franchise history and the fourth best in the NBA from the 2002-03 season to the 2003-04 campaign. Not only did Van Gundy lead his team into the playoffs, but by virtue of its 17-4 record over the final 21 games of the 2003-04 season, the HEAT finished second in the Atlantic Division and with the fourth best record in the Eastern Conference, earning Miami homecourt advantage in its Opening Round playoff series against New Orleans.
In the postseason the HEAT defeated New Orleans, 4-3, in the Opening Round, making Van Gundy just the fourth rookie head coach in NBA history to win a decisive seventh game joining Paul Westphal (1993), Jerry West (1977) and Joe Mullaney (1970). He led the HEAT to the Eastern Conference Semifinals for just the third time in franchise history, before being eliminated in six games by the Indiana Pacers, the team which registered the best record in the NBA during the 2003-04 campaign. Along the way the HEAT won a franchise-record six consecutive home playoff games.
Individually, Van Gundy won Eastern Conference Coach of the Month honors for March 2004 after leading the HEAT to an Eastern Conference best 12-3 record for the month. Miami entered the month of March ten games under .500 (25-35) and in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings and closed the month one game under .500 (37-38) and in a three-way tie for fourth place. The 12 victories Van Gundy guided Miami to at the time tied for the second highest monthly total in HEAT history, one shy of the franchise record set in February of 1998 (13-2). The club also won a season-high seven consecutive games from Mar. 12-26, Miami’s longest winning streak since a seven-game winning streak from Mar. 28-Apr. 9, 2000. The seven-game winning streak gave Van Gundy the franchise’s longest winning streak by a head coach in his first season guiding the HEAT.
Two areas that Van Gundy has continually stressed that the HEAT need to be strong in are on the defensive end of the floor and at home. His teams have delivered in both areas. The HEAT has finished eighth in scoring defense in both years under Van Gundy, marking ten consecutive years Miami has placed in the top 10 in the league. Under Van Gundy the HEAT have returned as one of the more dominant homecourt teams in the NBA. After recording a combined 34 victories at home during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons, Miami has won 78 percent of its regular season games played at the AmericanAirlines Arena under Van Gundy, producing a 64-18 home mark. Included among the 64 wins is a franchise-record 18-game home winning streak from Jan. 21, 2005-Apr. 5, 2005. The HEAT finished 35-6 at home during the 2004-05 regular season to set a franchise record for home victories in a season. In Van Gundy’s first season the HEAT finished with a 29-12 record at home. The 29 victories are tied for the fourth best single-season mark in franchise history. The HEAT’s 29 home victories during the 2003-04 season were 13 more than the previous year, easily smashing its previous best improvement over an 82-game season. In postseason play, Van Gundy’s teams have produced a 12-3 home record, including a franchise-record six-game home winning streak during the 2004 Playoffs.
The 46-year-old Van Gundy came to the HEAT in 1995 after serving as head coach at the University of Wisconsin. Before his tenure as the head coach with the Badgers, he was an assistant at UW under current NBA Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations Stu Jackson. Van Gundy began his coaching career as an assistant coach at the University of Vermont, 1981-83, and was head coach at Castleton State College (VT) for three seasons. After assistant coaching stints at Canisius College in 1987 and Fordham University in 1988, Van Gundy was named head coach at Massachusetts-Lowell and spent four seasons there before being hired at Wisconsin. In eight years as a college head coach, Van Gundy compiled a record of 135-92 (.535).
A native of Indio, CA, the affable Van Gundy has been around the game of basketball his entire life. Growing up he often went on scouting trips with his father, Bill, a successful college coach, and went on to become a star guard at Alhambra High School. He played in college for his father at SUNY-Brockport, where he was named Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the entire SUNY system as a senior. Van Gundy graduated from SUNY-Brockport in 1981 with a B.A. in English and a B.S. in Physical Education. His father also served as head basketball coach at Genesee Community College in Batavia, N.Y before retiring and moving down to Florida. Jeff Van Gundy, Stan’s younger brother and current head coach of the Houston Rockets, is entering his tenth year as an NBA head coach. Prior to taking over the coaching reigns of the Rockets in 2003, Jeff was the head coach of the New York Knicks from 1996-2001, where he also worked under the tutelage of Pat Riley from 1991-95. On Nov. 11, 2003, Stan and Jeff Van Gundy became just the second pair of brothers to face one another as NBA head coaches joining Herb and Larry Brown who first accomplished the feat in 1977.
Van Gundy, an avid baseball fan, resides in Miami with his wife Kim and their four children, Shannon (14), Michael (11), Alison (9) and Kelly (6).
I never plan my churchcrawling to see anything in particular I have no idea what I will see when I go to visit a church, I do no research beforehand, instead prefer to let my impressions lead me to take shots.
It has served me well.
So, in planning a day out, I will look on Google maps, find churches to visit and come up with a plan, but it rarely perfect. Like last weekend, when I planned the day, I failed to include Cobham.
Thankfully, the lady at Meopham said I should go, look at the brasses and eat at the Leather Bottle opposite.
Good advice.
Cobham is a little way of the busy A2 as that road nears London. It has eight lanes and is usually a racetrack, when not jammed. Cobham is signposted, you might think it is a suburb of Gravesend.
But it is an attractve village, all timber framed houses and pubs, with a huge church on the hill overlooking the main road passing through the village.
We did park at the pub, and I walked up the hill to the church, which was open, its huge and grand interior opening up before me, and looking down the nave I could see the tomb in the middle of the chancel, with the pavement of 17 fine brasses laid out before it.
-------------------------------------------
In a county with more memorial brasses than any other, Cobham takes pride of place, with a set of nineteen, the majority of which have been grouped together in the chancel. The church consists of a thirteenth-century chancel, and fourteenth-century nave, aisles and west tower. In 1362 the church was refounded as a college by Sir John de Cobham, and the medieval domestic buildings survive to the south of the church. The south wall of the chancel displays several items of interest. There is a fine double piscina which has been moved further west of its original position. The latter is now occupied by an elaborate fourteenth-century piscina, with a finely wrought canopy of three arches and a parapet of quatrefoils and leaves. Next to it is a slightly plainer sedilia of three equal arches. The last feature of note is the stairway in the south-east corner of the chancel which led to a gallery over the altar - a unique feature in Kent. In the centre of the chancel is the alabaster table tomb of Sir George Brooke (d. 1558). It was badly damaged when a beam fell on it in the eighteenth century and is much restored. In front of the monument are sixteen of the medieval brasses, brought here from other parts of the church, the most interesting of which are: Sir John de Cobham (d. 1407), founder of the college, who is seen holding a lovely spired church in his hands; Sir Nicholas Hawkberk (d. 1407) - a super visor hinges from his face; William Tanner (d. 1418) the first master of the collegiate foundation.

COBHAM.
NORTHWARD from Cookstone lies Cobham, a very small part of which is within the hundred of Hoo.
THE PARISH of Cobham is rather an unfrequented place, not having any road of traffic through it. It is a healthy and rather a pleasant situation, tho' the woods and foliage in Cobham-park give it in general a gloomy appearance; it extends about two miles and a half from east to west, and a mile and a half from north to south; it contains about two thousand nine hundred and fifty acres of land, seventy houses, exclusive of the college, about seven hundred and sixty inhabitants. Cobham park, having the mansion of Cobham-hall situated in a vale within it, contains the greatest part of the parish; on an eminence in the park, about a mile from the house, is a costly mausoleum, built pursuant to the will of the late earl, as a burial place for himself and family, which being finished, his body, which was deposited in the church, was brought hither, and laid in it. The building is a conspicuous object to a considerable distance round it. It stands on Williams's-hill, on a spot of ground where it is said there was once a chapel. This elegant structure is octangular, built of Portland stone, the columns at each angle supporting a sarcophagus, the top terminating with a quadrangular pyramid over the vault, which has sixteen recesses or burial places in it, besides those for the late earl and his countess; there is a chapel elegantly sitted up, the windows of which are of stained glass, and ornamented with Brocotello marble. The soil is various; strong good mould, chalk, and some gravel, and is in general accounted a good wheat land. The village is situated on high ground, in the south west part of the parish, having the church within it, from which there is a most extensive view southwestward over the country; adjoining to the church yard is Cobham college, and at the west end of the street the parsonage, the property and residence of Mr. Pemble. At a small distance further is the estate of Outlets, and at the western boundary of the parish the manor of Henhurst; Cobham mount is situated about a quarter of a mile's distance from the Shinglewell road, which runs along the northern side of this parish, by the pales of the park. The northeast parts adjoining Cobham-park, formerly called the out park grounds, are covered with coppice woods.
The antient Roman road, or Watling-street-way, shews itself very plainly from Shinglewell hither, in its way to Rochester, with the hedges standing on it, sometimes on the right and sometimes on the left of the present road, and at other times falling in with it. It goes on to Cobham-park, where the pales seem to stand on it for some little space, soon after which it leaves them, as may be seen in the passage out of the north gate of the park, where the way crosses it, from thence it runs into a thick wood, where it is not to be followed. At the north west boundary of this parish, adjoining the above road, is a water, called St. Thomas's-well, probably from the use made of it by St. Thomas Becket in his journeyings through these parts.
Our HERBALISTS have taken notice of the following scarce plants, growing in this parish, viz.
Pneumonanthe, Calathian violet.
Trachelium majus, blue and also white Canterbury bells, found under Cobham park pales, in the road from Shinglewell to Rochester.
Chamæpitys, ground pine of several sorts.
Tragoriganum, goats marjorom, or organy, near Cobham house.
Lamium luteum etiam rubrum, the yellow archangel, as also the red, found in Cobham woods.
Lautana five viburnum, the wayfaring tree. (fn. 1)
¶Narcissus sylvestris pallidus calyce luteo, the wild English daffodil, observed by Mr. Thorpe of Bexley, in a moist place or two in Cobham park.
COBHAM is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese and deanry of Rochester. The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, is a handsome spacious building, consisting of three isles and a large chancel, and has a good tower at the west end of it, with a ring of bells.
¶Among other monuments and inscriptions in it, in the middle of the chancel is a most noble monument of white marble, on which lie the essigies of Sir George Brooke lord Cobham, governor of Calais, K. G. and his wife, in full proportion; the figures and names, of their children, ten sons and four daughters, were likewise cut in marble round it; he died in 1558. This fine piece of sculpture seems once to have had a canopy of marble over it, which, with the pillars that supported it, and many pieces of the figures, now lie broken and scattered upon the tomb. It was erected by his son, Sir Wm. Brooke, in 1561, arms, Brooke quartering Cobham, and seven other coats within the garter. Almost the whole of the pavement of this chancel is covered with the gravestones of the family of Cobham and Brooke, with several of the brasses remaining on them, though so very loose, that in all probability they will soon be purloined, as numbers of the same sort were by some workmen a few years ago. Those which remain are as follows: a brass plate and figure, and inscription in French, in very antient capitals, cut round the edge of the stone, for dame Joan de Cobham; a brass plate and figure in armour, with a like inscription, south of the former, for Thomas de Cobham, and for Maud, the wife of Sir Thomas Cobeham, who died in 13 3 Richard II. another of the like sort, south of the last, with the figure of a man in armour, holding a church in his hands, for John de Cobham, founder of this place. On another, south of the former, on brass, on a chevron three lions rampant, and the same impaling three roundles, a file of three points in chief, and the figure of a woman, and round the verge of the stone, a French inscription in brass, for Margaret de Cobham, daughter of the earl of Devonshire, wife of the lord of Cobham, builder of this place, obt. 1395. In like manner with the last, are the figures of two women, for dame Maud de Cobham, 13 the rest lost; south of the last a brass plate, with the figure of a man in armour, and arms of Cobham as above, and inscription round the verge of the stone, in French, for John de Cobham, ob. 1390; westward of this, on brass plates, are the figures of a man and woman, eight sons and ten daughters, and round the verge of the stone an inscription in brass, for Sir John Brooke, baron of Cobham, and Margaret his wife, daughter of Edward Nevile, lord of Burgavenny; he died in 1506, she died in 1500; arms, Cobham as above, impaling Nevile with quarterings; north of the former, brass and figure of a man in armour, and round the verge in brass, an inscription for Sir Nicholas Hawberk, husband of Joan lady Cobham, heir of John lord Cobham, founder of this college; he died at the castle of Cowling, in 1407; underneath the figure of a child, and inscription, for John their son; another, north of the last, and brass, with the figure of a woman, six sons, and four daughters, for Joan lady Cobham, wife of Sir Reginald Braybrooke, ob. 1433; arms, Cobham as above, with impalements and quarterings. Northward of the last, on brass, the figure of a man in armour, and round the verge and inscription in brass for Sir Reginald Braybrook, husband of Joan lady Cobham; he died at Middleburgh in Flanders, in 1405; on the same stone the figure of a child, and inscriptions for Reginald and Robert, their sons; northward of the former, the figures of a man in armour, his wife, five sons, and six daughters, and round the verge, in brass, an inscription for Sir Thomas Brooke, lord Cobham, and kinsman and heir of Sir Richard Beauchamp; he married first Dorothy, daughter of Sir Henry Haydon, by whom he had seven sons and six daughters; and secondly Dorothy Fowthewel, widow; and thirdly Elizabeth Hart; by neither of whom he had issue, ob. 1529, arms quarterly, 1st, on a chevron, a lion rampant, crowned; 2d, Cobham as above; 3d, seven mascles, three, three, and one; 4th, on a fess between three leopards heads an annulet. A brass plate for John Sproltle, master of this college, ob. 1498; on brass the figure of a man, and these arms, on a chevron three cross croslets bottone, in the dexter chief a star, for Ranf. de Cobham, esq. of Kent, who died in 1402; a brass plate and figure for William .......... master of this college, obt. 14. another like for Wm. Tanner, first master of it, ob. 1418. A stone and inscription for Tho. Webb, esq. secretary to James Stuart duke of Richmond, ob. 1649. In the nave a brass figure for master John Gladwyn, master of this college. In the north isle, a brass for John Gery, fellow of this college, obt. 1447; a brass, on a chevron between three trefoils as many annulets, and inscription for several of the Claverings; in the nave, now almost worn out, an inscripition for Alice, daughter of Nicholas Harpur, esq. first wife of William .......... and late to Edmond .......... There is a vault in this church, which belonged to the family of Hayes, of this parish, and being full, another was granted to them in the church yard, by the good will of the parishioners. Against the wall of the church on the outside, on the east side of the porch, is a small figure cut in stone, about two feet high, of a man to his waist, and under it an inscription, to the memory of one Robert Hoth, but the date is obliterated, and the whole of it in so perishing a condition, that a few years will entirely destroy it.
Perseverance entry, descent, and landing phase lead Allen Chen, gives remarks during a NASA Perseverance rover mission post-landing update, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.
