the Malebolge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an ampitheatre-shapped pit of despair Wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche. The simonists, wedged into stone holes, and whose feet are licked by flames, kick and writhe desperately. The magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and panderers are all here, as are the thieves. Some wallow in human excrement. Serpents writhe and wrap around men, sometimes fusing into each other. Bodies are torn apart. When you arrive, you will want to put your hands over your ears because of the lamentations of the sinners here, who are afflicted with scabs like leprosy, and lay sick on the ground, furiously scratching their skin off with their nails. Indeed, justice divine doth smite them with its hammer.
Concrete setting ... Our rickety shed used to be held up by bricks on one side because it was on a hill. With every ground thaw, the support beams would shift, which would loosen boards and make it hard to even open/close the door sometimes. Our landscaping project this year was to put in on level concrete and regrade the hill around it.
Bridgewater Canal.
Barton-upon-Irwell, Salford.
When the Bridgewater Canal was built it had no locks, but ran on one level from Worsley into the centre of Manchester. It crossed the River Irwell on a masonry aqueduct that was built alongside an ancient, stone road-bridge at Barton.
However, when the Manchester Ship Canal was constructed (1887-1893), that part of the River Irwell was canalised and incorporated into the new waterway. The old road-bridge was replaced by a steel swing-bridge. The aqueduct, despite being much higher than the road-bridge, was not high enough above the new waterway to facilitate the ocean-going merchant ships that would be passing to and from between the Mersey Estuary and the Port of Manchester. A proposal to construct double sets of locks and raise the Bridgewater Canal was rejected on the grounds of a need for water conservation. A decision was taken to build a swing-bridge that could isolate a section of the canal and swing it clear of Ship Canal traffic. Both the swing-bridges were to be controlled from a brick-built tower that would be on an island created in the Ship Canal for that purpose.
Both bridges are Grade II listed buildings and are still functional.
Sidewalk Chalk Mural I did at the 2010 South Side Works Exposed Festival. Sponsored by VitaminWater.
Delta 3200 in DDX 1+4 for 9 mins 30 (ilfords datasheet time) yields thin negatives, I think I need to push it more.
After climbing for about a mile, the trail leveled out in this meadow, then started descending (which of course means hiking uphill on the way out, ugh.)
Max here. Sticking with my theme. This is a chart I ripped from 'An inconvenient Truth'. It shows the historic record, 600 000 years back of global average temperatures (in blue) and atmosperic CO2 concentrations (in red). You can see that they are very closely linked. The lower yellow dot shows current CO2 level, which is already far higher than it has been as far back as we can see. Then the little dot at the top is the trend extrapolated to 2050. You can imagine what happens to the blue line in the future. Pretty fuckin' sketchy.
A toilet cistern with sieves in it, my best guess is that the water board were checking out the quality and volume of the water in here.

Ever wonder what it takes to build a log house. These are pictures of the entire construction of our house from October 2006 to Nov 2007. It might take me a few days to put them all up, so if you're looking at these as I am posting them, check back for the rest.
I'll add these all to me log home set, so it might be easier to click that set to the right and go from there (I'll try to get them in order the best I can).
If you have any questions about the construction, feel free to ask. I was there pretty much everday and then I was there everyday after I fired our general contractor and had to finish his work myself.
Feel free to leave comments.
