Soooo, puppy training is going great. pixel is mostly using her puppy pad and is even getting to grips with 'fetch'. today i took her for a 2 car drives and a walk. i had to carry her as she's not allowed out to walk on her own little feet for another 2 days, until her vaccination has fully kicked in! in preperation for the big day, i've been trying to get her used to her lead... the smell, the feel... i even tried to take her for a little walk on the decking... gonna take a while, she's so very nervous of it all. It doesn't help that she keeps trying to chew her lead either, as she's doing here!
i've also decided to take a leaf out of pearls book and take a shot of pixel every week, so i've got a visual diary of how she's growing. so this is Pixel aged 10 weeks

My drawing of her. I meant to make her skin darker.
Sailor Lead Crow was the leader of the animamates in the fifth season of the TV show Sailor Moon.
Supposedly a villain, she was actually quite caring and a very unselfish person always worried about her fellow animamates.
She is definetly my favorite character in the whole series.
Crow is a very multi dimensional character. Hard as nails yet has a soft sweet side. She almost has a schizophrenic existance.
She does some terrible things and yet she tries desperatley to save her co worker from being killed.
Crow can also be tempermental at times. (Sometimes she gets frusturated when she feels like she's not being heard.)
And sometimes she can be very tender. (Watch episode 193)
Crow has a "fuku" or uniform that seems to draw inspiration from certain "birds of prey".
She has long nails resembling talons. She has crow feathers adorning her shoulders and hips.
She also has wings in the manga.
Sadly, Crow is given a sad ending.
She is swallowed up by a black hole and remained trapped inside the dark void.
This lead coffin is connected by a pipe with the ground above the grave. Mourners used this pipe to pour offerings into the grave.
The first written record of lead mining at Minera dates back to 1296, when Edward I of England hired miners from the site to work in his new mines in Devon. Not all of them vacated the area, however, as mining went on until the Black Death in 1349, when it ended.
In 1527, two men bought the rights to mine on the site, but deeper workings were unworkable due to the presence of underground rivers, and the inability to prevent flooding. The inability to pay for steam engines to pump out water closed the mines again until 1845, when John Taylor & Sons, mining agents from Flintshire, formed the Minera Mining Company. They were able to build a stationary steam engine on site, and also blast caves from down in the valley into the mines, for extra drainage. The steam engine was a Cornish engine (i.e. a Beam engine), typical for stationary engines at the time.
John Taylor & Sons had used a £30,000 investment at the time, yet the profits for 1864 alone were £60,000 (equivalent to over £4 Million in 2008. By 1900, the price of lead and zinc had fallen dramatically, while the price of coal used for the steam engine rose. The stationary steam engine stopped work in 1909. The owners sold off the mines and all assets by 1914.
Transport
For transport, the Mines had their own railway branch line, which connected with the end of the Wrexham and Minera Branch at Minera Limeworks. The mines also had their own steam locomotive, a Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST (Works No. 21) Henrietta.[2] The lead ore would be taken to Wrexham for transport nationally, and Coal brought back. The line was dismantled when the mines closed, as the line was privately owned, however were rebuilt to serve nearby clay pits. Plans to build a tourist narrow gauge railway on the line were made in the 1990s, but have not progressed.
Restoration
The workings and local area underwent massive restoration and regeneration funded by Wrexham County Borough Council and the Welsh Development Agency beginning in 1988 to make sure the lead, Zinc and lime spoil tips didn't contaminate local water supplies, the Engine house was rebuilt and fitted with replica machinery, as the original steam engine was removed in 1914. A visitor Centre was opened for public use, and the engine house is part of a tour. It is a site of tourism for Wrexham County Borough Council.
In 2004, the site was attacked by vandals, but this was repaired by the council in 2005.
Great bunch of people to listen to esp on a over cast day. One nutter interrupted the band but he showed him.

Lead has been worked in the Ashover area of Derbyshire since Roman times, so it's not surprising that there is a lead font in the church. It's one of the few Norman lead fonts in England and dates from c1150. It has 20 figures mounted in pairs around the bowl. During the Civil War it was buried for safety and restored to its present position after the Restoration in the 1660s.
The centre piece of Melbourne Central shopping mall in the centre of Melbourne city. The building you see is the old "Leadpipe and shot factory". Lead shot used to be formed by dropping small amounts of hot lead from a great height into a pool of water. The drop of lead would form a perfect ball on the way down and then cool in the water below.
I believe this shopping centre was actually built around the original factory (but dont quote me).
Remnants of cottages, that surrounded the streams around this valley, just before the dam was built. Back then there was no supply of water, only directly from these streams so the closer the better. Until the dam flooded mos out of existence and a new culture was found!.
Evan Mobley scored a career-high 30 points to lead the host Cleveland Cavaliers to a 120-111 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
Mobley has solidified himself at the center spot since All-Star Jarrett Allen went down with a fractured finger earlier this month. Mobley added six rebounds and two blocks.
Darius Garland overcame a slow start to finish with 24 points and a game-high 13 assists. Teammate Isaac Okoro added 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.
Clippers forward Amir Coffey made one of two free throws with 30.8 seconds left in regulation to tie the score at 106 and send the game into overtime. The Cavs outscored the Clippers 14-5 in overtime.
Center Ivica Zubac paced the Clippers with 24 points and a game-high 14 rebounds before he fouled out in overtime. Coffey added 19 points and Terance Mann had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Cavs began a stretch of playing eight of nine games at home, including five in a row.
Cleveland welcomed back swingman Caris LeVert to the lineup against the Clippers. LeVert, who missed the previous nine games with a sprained right foot, finished with 11 points and seven rebounds.
Zubac's two free throws with 6:15 left in the third quarter extended the Clippers' biggest lead, 75-67. However, the Cavs used a 15-2 run, capped by Okoro's two free throws with 2:04 left in the third quarter, to assume an 82-77 lead.

"Swedish timba group Calle Real’s modern approach and Latin rhythms make for an experience that cannot be ignored. The group of 12 made their international debut in 2003 Cuba, after which the band has toured around the globe.
Calle Real’s music is Afro-Cuban timba, a descendant of salsa, and their songs mainly of their own creation. Through their work, the band has created a truly original sound that has garnered fans around Europe, South America, the United States, the Caribbean and Australia. Their first album, Con Fuerza (2006), was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album."
