In its 1950s heyday, the Lister Car Company successfully built and campaigned powerful Jaguar-powered racing cars. It was therefor logical, when the marque was revived in the 1980s, that it would remain loyal to Jaguar power for its road and race cars. Through extensive experience gained by tuning and radically modifying XJ-S V12s, Lister used the faithful Jaguar base for its own ambitious race weapon.
The resulting Storm was a 2+2 front-engined coupe, catapulted to 208 mph by a 546 hp 7-litre V12, designed for the GT1 class of Le Mans 24 hour race. Despite its British bulldog spirit, the Lister expired after 40 laps of the 1995 endurance race. The extortionately expensive road going version didn't fare much better either, with only four examples of the £ 450.000 (in 1993 !) Storm being built.

Plot[edit]
In 1939, the Germans move Polish Jews into the Kraków Ghetto as World War
II begins. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping
to make his fortune. A member of the Nazi Party, Schindler lavishes
bribes on Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials and acquires a
factory to produce enamelware. To help him run the business, Schindler
enlists the aid of Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official who has contacts
with black marketeers and the Jewish business community. Stern helps
Schindler arrange loans to finance the factory. Schindler maintains
friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys wealth and status as "Herr
Direktor", and Stern handles administration. Schindler hires Jewish
workers because they cost less, while Stern ensures that as many people
as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort, which saves
them from being transported to concentration camps or killed.
SS-Untersturmführer (second lieutenant) Amon Goeth arrives in Kraków to
oversee construction of Płaszów concentration camp. When the camp is
completed, he orders the ghetto liquidated. Many people are shot and
killed in the process of emptying the ghetto. Schindler witnesses the
massacre and is profoundly affected. He particularly notices a tiny girl
in a red coat – one of the few splashes of color in the black-and-white
film – as she hides from the Nazis. When he later sees the red coat on a
wagon loaded with bodies being taken away to be burned, he knows the girl
is dead. Schindler is careful to maintain his friendship with Goeth and,
through bribery and lavish gifts, continues to enjoy SS support. Goeth
brutally mistreats his maid and randomly shoots people from the balcony
of his villa, and the prisoners are in constant daily fear for their
lives. As time passes, Schindler's focus shifts from making money to
trying to save as many lives as possible. He bribes Goeth into allowing
him to build a sub-camp for his workers so that he can better protect
them.
As the Germans begin to lose the war, Goeth is ordered to ship the
remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks
Goeth to allow him to move his workers to a new munitions factory he
plans to build in his home town of Zwittau-Brinnlitz. Goeth agrees, but
charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern create "Schindler's List" – a
list of people to be transferred to Brinnlitz and thus saved from
transport to Auschwitz.
As Schindler's workers begin to arrive at the new site, the train
carrying the women is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. Schindler
bribes the commandant of Auschwitz with a bag of diamonds to win their
release. At the new factory, Schindler forbids the SS guards to enter the
production areas and encourages the Jews to observe the Sabbath. To keep
his workers alive, he spends much of his fortune bribing Nazi officials
and buying shell casings from other companies; his factory does not
produce any usable armaments during its seven months of operation.
Schindler runs out of money just as Germany surrenders, ending the war in
Europe.
As a Nazi Party member and war profiteer, Schindler must flee the
advancing Red Army to avoid capture. The SS guards have been ordered to
kill the Jews, but Schindler persuades them to return to their families
as men, not murderers. He bids farewell to his workers and prepares to
head west, hoping to surrender to the Americans. The workers give
Schindler a signed statement attesting to his role saving Jewish lives,
together with a ring engraved with a Talmudic quotation: "Whoever saves
one life saves the world entire." Schindler is touched but is also deeply
ashamed, as he feels he should have done even more. As the Schindlerjuden
(Schindler Jews) awaken the next morning, a Soviet soldier announces that
they have been liberated. The Jews leave the factory and walk to a nearby
town.
After some scenes depicting Goeth's execution and a summary of
Schindler's later life, the black-and-white frame changes to a color shot
of actual Schindlerjuden at Schindler's grave in Jerusalem. Accompanied
by the actors who portrayed them, the Schindlerjuden place stones on the
grave. In the final scene, Neeson places a pair of roses on the grave.

Sample of entire lengthy footplate seniority list of drivers based at Kings Cross . In this case all footplate crew taken on 1940-46. Nick names even included for most! All engine men started as engine cleaners, then firemen, passed firemen ( relief drivers) then drivers. Then you would progress through link seniority to top link. In the 1950’s this would be the A4 drivers on the primary expresses in and out of Kings Cross. I would say thirty five to forty years would have elapsed before getting your hands on an A4’s regulator.

Built in 1887, it is a lodge to Abbeystead House by Douglas and Fordham in Elizabethan style. It is in sandstone with a slate roof, and has an L-shaped plan with two storeys. The windows are mullioned, and the doorway has a moulded surround and a shaped lintel inscribed with the date.
I have been to Aldeburgh several time before. Nover to park the car and wander round the shops and eateries in the centre, just to pass through on the war from or to Thorpness, the drive along the top end of the beach very enjoyable.
Aldeburgh is arty, and has been for many years. My thought was to look at the parish church, and thankful with the low rise town and large tower, it was easy to find. Although at the new roundabout I was tempted by the road leading to Church Farm, but though the centre of the town better.
I was right, as the main road passed right beside Ss. Peter and Paul, and had a very large and paved car park, although they did want I think £4.50 to use it.
I wasn't sure if it would be open, but there was a welcoming sign on the door beneath the tower at the western end of the church.
THere is a small "porch" in the base of the tower with a locked door for the bellringers. Ahead I walked to the double door and pushed.
Upon entering, the church. the nave spread out well on either side, and beyond broad columns were two wide aisles, looking contemporary with the church.. Altogether very impressive.
I heard hushed voices in the southern chapel, and looking over I saw someone reading with the aid of an angle poise light, and one other person listening. It seemed to be a list of names, maybe prayers requested by parishioners.
I tried to be quiet, but the quadruple click of my camera as I go my shots seemed to echo around the church, so I limited my shots near to the chancel.
I heard the final lines of The Lord's Prayer, and knew the service was at an end. I went over to apologise for disturbing them, and they said I had done no such thing. In fact, they insisted I had been there a week before, with a friend, taking shots. Not me I said, I have no twin and no friends.
The vicar, because it was he, was very kind, asked about what U was doing, mentioned Mr Knott, as he was familiar with his Suffolk Church website, but unaware that it also stretched to Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, The City of London and possibly soon, Rutland.
Ss Peter and Paul, at least to me, seems unusual as being a whole church, despite being Victorianised, the nave and aisles look of the same age, and so seem to complete a whole. Of course there is nothing wrong in unmatching buildings, indeed, making them more interesting. But all in all, pleasing to the eye.
Back outside, I much admired the porch to the south, with arches in the east and west side, probably for processions I thought, being correct at least for one.
It seems to be open all day, most of the day. And free, except the car park.
------------------------------------------
Aldeburgh, as Scott Fitzgerald might have observed, is different from the rest of Suffolk. Actually, if a writer was going to say this, perhaps E.M. Forster is more likely; he spent a lot of time here with his friend Benjamin Britten, and there's a memorable photograph of them sitting together in a boat.
Aldeburgh, pronounced Orld-brur, is, of course, the home of the Aldeburgh festival; but at anytime you'll find it full of visitors, many of them mild eccentrics, dressed colourfully for the season. Perhaps only in Lavenham would you find it harder to track down a local. The town's shops are thriving as a consequence, but even in winter the streets can become a car park on a sunny day. Don't even think of being able to park in high summer.
The difference between Lavenham and Aldeburgh, though, is that people often come here to stay. The desirable 18th and 19th century houses the length of the front are one of the reasons. Crag House, just down from the church and one of the largest, was where Britten lived for many years. Britten was born 20 miles north at Kirkley, in Lowestoft, where his father was a dentist. But it took him three years in America to realise that Suffolk was where he wanted to be, and so at the height of wartime he undertook the dangerous journey home with his partner, Peter Pears. They rented out the old mill at nearby Snape, where Britten wrote his first masterpiece, Peter Grimes, based on Crabbe's story The Borough, about a fishing village, where the anti-hero Grimes suffers the wrath of the community's hypocrisy, for his ill-treatment of his apprentices. One of the major scenes in the opera takes place in this church, for the Borough, of course, is Aldeburgh. It also appears in Wilkie Collins' finest novel, No Name, as Aldborough.
In later life, Britten and Pears moved to the Red House, near the quiet seclusion of the golf course; but their real local testament is, of course, Snape Maltings, the great arts complex three miles away, finished in the years before Britten's tragically early death in 1976.
Given that this town was a popular and wealthy resort in the 19th century, it is no surprise that the church has been almost completely restored, and very little internal evidence survives of its Catholic liturgical life. Aldeburgh's Catholic priests today minister the sacraments at Our Lady and St Peter, at the top of the hill 100 yards to the south. But St Peter and St Paul is a fine, municipal Anglican parish church, and should be enjoyed for that.
Externally, it is rather more interesting. The south porch adjoins the pavement, and has arches in its east and west walls to allow processions to pass within the precincts of the graveyard. This was built by the Holy Trinity gild, right on the eve of the Reformation. Because of its proximity to the road, the church has an imposing presence. The grand 14th century tower is not typical of the coast; with its towering stair turret, it looks more like Hoxne or Stradbroke.
You enter the church from the west, into the darkness beneath the tower, very like that at Debenham. This church is always open during the day, and has a cheerful welcome notice. You step into a warm, bright interior, with plenty of 19th century touches.
The finest feature here is, of course, the Britten memorial. It is by the artist John Piper, in stained glass, and shows images from three of his church parables: The Prodigal Son, Curlew River, and The Burning Fiery Furnace. It sits in the north aisle, and gets enough light to fill the aisle with colour. The font sits in front of it.
The colour of the sanctuary tempers its rather stern Tractarian makeover, but there are also plenty of reminders of the life of the Borough in years and centuries gone by. The lifeboat disaster memorial is a grand example of late Victorian copperwork at the west end. Rather finer is the town war memorial in the south aisle, the golden rays of the dying soldier's nimbus illuminating the inscription and everyone said to his brother be of good cheer. There is a fine monument in the south chapel to Lady Henrietta Vernon. This chapel was the chantry chapel of the Holy Trinity guild before the Reformation. Large squints sit either side of the chancel arch, marking the positions of altars. Today, a fine, early 17th century pulpit stands in front of one: the documentation still exists for its commissioning. The wooden angels guarding the sanctuary are a curiously naive touch. The glass in both chancel and south aisle east windows is excellent; St Cecilia is happily present, and reminds us that the musical tradition of Aldeburgh predated Britten. The lyrical tradition did as well, because against the arcade in the north aisle is the memorial to the poet George Crabbe.
This is a nice church, and a welcoming one. It isn't terribly significant as Suffolk churches go, but I prefer it to some of the more self-important ones. I'm also a big fan of Britten, which is another reason I like it. If you are looking for Britten's gravestone, don't look for anything grand. The large one towards the east wall is a memorial to the crew of the lifeboat who all died in the 1899 disaster here. This is very moving, despite the arch piety typical of that decade.
No, Britten's stone sits in the common run, along with the other 1976 graves. Beside it, space was reserved for Peter Pears, who died in the 1980s. By one of those acts of serendipity, the musician Imogen Holst, daughter of the composer Gustav Holst, lies just behind them.
It doesn't take long, looking around, to locate the graves of other musicians and singers, who all came to Aldeburgh attracted by Britten's light. Also buried here is Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, one of the Garretts who built the Snape maltings complex as part of their industrial empire. She, of course, is famous for being the first woman doctor in England. Less well known is the fact that she was also the first ever female mayor in England - of Aldeburgh, of course.

Doddington Hall is a grade I listed Elizabethan mansion complete with walled courtyards and a gabled gatehouse. In Doddington, Lincolnshire.
It was built between 1593 and 1600 by Robert Smythson for Thomas Tailor, who was the registrar to the Bishop of Lincoln. In the 12th century the manor of Doddington was owned by the Pigot family who sold it to Sir Thomas Burgh in 1450, and eventually to John Savile of Howley Hall in Leeds. In 1593, he sold the manor house to Thomas Tailor who commissioned the present house. It was inherited by his son, and then his granddaughter Elizabeth Anton who married Sir Edward Hussey of Honington in Lincolnshire. Their son Sir Thomas Hussey inherited in 1658. Sir Thomas's three daughters were his co-heiresses when he died in 1706. Mrs Sarah Apreece was the surviving heiress and on her death in 1749, her daughter Rhoda, wife of Captain Francis Blake Delaval of Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland, inherited. It then passed to her second son, Sir John Hussey-Delaval, and he had improvements made to the Hall in 1761 by Thomas and William Lumby of Lincoln. John's younger brother Edward inherited in 1808, and his daughter, Mrs Sarah Gunman, who inherited on her father's death in 1814, left the Hall to Lieutenant Colonel George Jarvis in 1829. On his death it passed to his cousin the Rev Robert Eden Cole, and it remains in private ownership today. In the mid 20th century the Hall was restored by Laurence Bond and Francis Johnston.
The Hall's contents, including textiles, ceramics, porcelain, furniture and pictures, reflect 400 years of unbroken family occupation. It is surrounded by 6 acres (24,000 m2) of walled and wild gardens with flowering from early spring until autumn.
The Hall and Gardens are open to the public, with facilities for private tours and school visits. A temple designed by Anthony Jarvis in 1973 stands in the gardens. Summer concerts and occasional exhibitions are held in the Long Gallery. Other businesses have been developed on the estate such as the sale of Christmas trees, weddings and a farm shop selling local produce.

Tablet at centre of north parapet inscribed:- "Erected by order of Thomas Taylor Esq., Thomas Love Esq., Thomas Kitson and Rev.B.W.Wrey. Magistrates of this County 1798". 2 pairs of cast iron circular moulded tie plates in the spandrels. Stover Canal was built by James Templer of Stover House q.v. 1790-92, the engineer was Thomas Gray of Exeter. It was improved by George Templer in 1824 when the locks were rebuilt in granite. The canal was nearly 2 miles long and joined the River Teign at Jetty Marsh near Newton Abbot where barges passed through the dredged Whitelake Channel to the estuary of the River Teign. The canal was a private venture and was built to transport Haytor granite after the Haytor granite tramway had been built in 1820.

The Stover Canal is a canal located in Devon, England. It was opened in 1792 and served the ball clay industry until it closed in the early 1940s. Today it is derelict, but the Stover Canal Society is aiming to restore it and reopen it to navigation.
The canal was built at a time when the ball clay industry was expanding, but transport of the bulky product was difficult. James Templer (1748–1813) of Stover House, Teigngrace, saw this as an opportunity, and began to construct the canal at his own expense in January 1790. He planned to reach Bovey Tracey, passing through Jewsbridge, near Heathfield en route, and to construct a branch to Chudleigh. Having invested over £1,000 in the project, he sought an Act of Parliament which would allow him to raise more capital, but although the Act was passed on 11 June 1792, he did not invoke its powers, as the canal had already reached Ventiford, Teigngrace and he did not extend it further.
As built, the canal was 1.7 miles (2.7 km) long and included five locks. It was supplied with water from three feeders, one from Ventiford Brook, a stream which also supplies Stover Lake (now in Stover Country Park) and one from the River Bovey at Jewsbridge, both of which fed the top pound, and one from the River Teign at Fishwick, which entered the canal just below lock 4. The exit from the canal was on to the tidal Whitelake channel, and from there to the River Teign and the docks. The first three locks did not originally have side walls, but used earth banks instead, which were replaced with timber or brick walls in due course. The Graving Dock lock was only 56 ft (17 m) long, and so could take a single barge, but all the others were long enough to take two barges end to end. The first Jetty Marsh lock was much bigger, at 215 ft long and 45 ft wide (65m by 13.7m), but carries the inscription Duke of Somerset, 1841, and so it would appear that it was reconstructed as a basin, so that barges could wait in it for the tide. The Graving Dock lock is probably unique in the United Kingdom, in that it was reconstructed with a dock at its side, which could be used as a dry dock when the lock was empty. Both Jetty Marsh lock and Graving Dock lock are currently Grade 2 listed.
Having invested most of his capital in the project, James Templer was rewarded by the success of the canal. A major contract with Josiah Wedgwood and Sons was re-established in 1798. Wedgwood remained the major recipient of the ball clay until 1815, after which trade was established with other pottery manufacturers and other ports.
Route of the canal in relation to other relevant features
James' son, George Templer built the Haytor Granite Tramway to connect his granite quarries at Haytor Rocks to the canal basin at Ventiford. It opened on 16 September 1820,and for the next 40 years, the traffic in granite supplemented the ball clay trade. The canal was sold in 1829 by George Templer, along with the Stover estate and the quarries and tramway, to Edward St Maur, 11th Duke of Somerset (1775-1855).When plans to build the Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway were proposed, his son the 12th Duke of Somerset, who by then had inherited the Stover estate, sought to sell both the canal and the trackbed of the derelict Granite Tramway to the fledgling railway company.It was duly sold for £8,000 on 4 June 1862, by which time the section above Teignbridge was effectively redundant, and so the railway company was not required to maintain it.However, the section up to Graving Dock lock was retained, so that users of the canal could still repair their barges, and it was at this point that the new dock was constructed which gave the Graving Dock lock its name. The canal was almost immediately leased to Watts, Blake and Co., a company who sank clay-pits.
The canal passed into the ownership of the Great Western Railway in 1877, but continued to be leased to Watts, Blake and Co., who paid a fixed price for its use, and were also required to maintain it. Traffic dwindled and finally ceased in 1937, but Watts, Blake and Company's latest 14-year lease did not end until 1942,and so it was not formally abandoned until March 1943. It remained in water until 1951, when one of the banks was breached, flooding a clay pit..

Lifetime Dream # 137 of my list of 155: I will keep a collection of 500 G-2 pen refills, displaying them in a nice wood casing, to show how dedicated I am toward perfectionism in my writing and a representation to how much writing I have accomplished in my life.
I have been accused of being OCD about a few things in my life and I will admit that this is a dead-on description. I am “particular” (that’s the word people with OCD use) about a few things as this photo blog will showcase: guitar picks, guitar strings, and yes- even the pens that I use. I know it might sound like a silly dream to have, but for the amount of writing that I do- I am pretty picky about the “tools of my trade” as one might say.
Here’s a good example of the amount of writing that I do. This picture only shows 2/3 of my first journal… 2,000 pages:
www.flickr.com/photos/67522976@N00/4652182215/in/set-7215...
I used to work for a family-owned wholesale distribution company and so I had the opportunity to meet with several different vendors and try their products. Bic, Pilot, Zebra, Pentel, Papermate… we dealt with them all. It seemed like every pen I sampled either skipped or was inconsistent with the ink flow, and that always seemed to find a way to annoy me; but I’ve never had that problem with G-2 Pens from Pilot. I love their new bold pen that is a 1.0mm. For journaling I’ll only use the 0.7mm. I guess even within the OCD there’s OCD!
I am over half way to my goal of 500 pens being used. I need to build a better casing for these pen refills and seal the barrels (you can see in the glass where the remaining ink leaked out of some). It may be OCD, but it’s effective. When I look at how many I’ve gone through I get a sense of pride, and a renewed sense of direction to write even more!
More in an ongoing series of discarded shopping lists, found while I'm out and about.
I love ones like these, that tell a story - or better still, many possible stories... pots, beef & elastoplast???
It's not a nice neat numbered list. But I needed to remember what day things needed to be done to get ready for this colonoscopy test. I took off work the day before and day of the test, and spent lots of time in the bathroom. Pictured here is the gallon jug which held the Colyte solution which I had to drink most of, and the lists of intructions from the doctor (blue), from the bottle of Colyter (center), and my handwritten list. Also the reading material for the wait. I got through most of the Chinese Proverbs, didn't start Ben Franklin's Wit And Wisdom. My list says to take books to the hospital, which I did, but didn't get the chance to read. They were very efficient there, so I brought home unread the books that I carried with me the day of the test. I took change with me just in case I had to take the bus home, but my sister was able to come get me. She said, "I'd hate for you to have to take the bus on this hot day." It was about 98 degrees with a heat index of 105.
Plot[edit]
In 1939, the Germans move Polish Jews into the Kraków Ghetto as World War
II begins. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping
to make his fortune. A member of the Nazi Party, Schindler lavishes
bribes on Wehrmacht (German armed forces) and SS officials and acquires a
factory to produce enamelware. To help him run the business, Schindler
enlists the aid of Itzhak Stern, a local Jewish official who has contacts
with black marketeers and the Jewish business community. Stern helps
Schindler arrange loans to finance the factory. Schindler maintains
friendly relations with the Nazis and enjoys wealth and status as "Herr
Direktor", and Stern handles administration. Schindler hires Jewish
workers because they cost less, while Stern ensures that as many people
as possible are deemed essential to the German war effort, which saves
them from being transported to concentration camps or killed.
SS-Untersturmführer (second lieutenant) Amon Goeth arrives in Kraków to
oversee construction of Płaszów concentration camp. When the camp is
completed, he orders the ghetto liquidated. Many people are shot and
killed in the process of emptying the ghetto. Schindler witnesses the
massacre and is profoundly affected. He particularly notices a tiny girl
in a red coat – one of the few splashes of color in the black-and-white
film – as she hides from the Nazis. When he later sees the red coat on a
wagon loaded with bodies being taken away to be burned, he knows the girl
is dead. Schindler is careful to maintain his friendship with Goeth and,
through bribery and lavish gifts, continues to enjoy SS support. Goeth
brutally mistreats his maid and randomly shoots people from the balcony
of his villa, and the prisoners are in constant daily fear for their
lives. As time passes, Schindler's focus shifts from making money to
trying to save as many lives as possible. He bribes Goeth into allowing
him to build a sub-camp for his workers so that he can better protect
them.
As the Germans begin to lose the war, Goeth is ordered to ship the
remaining Jews at Płaszów to Auschwitz concentration camp. Schindler asks
Goeth to allow him to move his workers to a new munitions factory he
plans to build in his home town of Zwittau-Brinnlitz. Goeth agrees, but
charges a huge bribe. Schindler and Stern create "Schindler's List" – a
list of people to be transferred to Brinnlitz and thus saved from
transport to Auschwitz.
As Schindler's workers begin to arrive at the new site, the train
carrying the women is accidentally redirected to Auschwitz. Schindler
bribes the commandant of Auschwitz with a bag of diamonds to win their
release. At the new factory, Schindler forbids the SS guards to enter the
production areas and encourages the Jews to observe the Sabbath. To keep
his workers alive, he spends much of his fortune bribing Nazi officials
and buying shell casings from other companies; his factory does not
produce any usable armaments during its seven months of operation.
Schindler runs out of money just as Germany surrenders, ending the war in
Europe.
As a Nazi Party member and war profiteer, Schindler must flee the
advancing Red Army to avoid capture. The SS guards have been ordered to
kill the Jews, but Schindler persuades them to return to their families
as men, not murderers. He bids farewell to his workers and prepares to
head west, hoping to surrender to the Americans. The workers give
Schindler a signed statement attesting to his role saving Jewish lives,
together with a ring engraved with a Talmudic quotation: "Whoever saves
one life saves the world entire." Schindler is touched but is also deeply
ashamed, as he feels he should have done even more. As the Schindlerjuden
(Schindler Jews) awaken the next morning, a Soviet soldier announces that
they have been liberated. The Jews leave the factory and walk to a nearby
town.
After some scenes depicting Goeth's execution and a summary of
Schindler's later life, the black-and-white frame changes to a color shot
of actual Schindlerjuden at Schindler's grave in Jerusalem. Accompanied
by the actors who portrayed them, the Schindlerjuden place stones on the
grave. In the final scene, Neeson places a pair of roses on the grave.
Cast[edit]
Liam Neeson (seen here in 2002) was cast as Oskar Schindler in the film.

inspired by my sister, i've decided to do a bucket list for a number of reasons. i think its a nice way to set yourself little goals or exciting things you want to do and then feel the achievement went you can tick them off. on mine i have things which i know i have to do for school like 'do 6 observational drawings' or 'do a maths paper a week' and some are really fun like 'go to the beach more than once' and 'make a collage'. may favourite ones are probably the more challenging one (for me anyway ;P) like 'perfect a cookie recipe' or 'go jogging'. i hope i can do them all but we'll see....
