Finally retired the Canon 5D Mark II and hired the Canon 5D Mark III. Ironically I had one but returned it as the price point was quite high. Now things have changed.
LOAD Day Two
I tend to scrap the everyday moments all the time. I don't think that I have "big events" so the little moments mean the most to me.
The photo is one I posted to Instagram. I took a screen shot of it from my text feed.
Journaling reads:
"Dad got an iPhone before I did so I had to follow suit - just so I could text him - for free. I love his fatherly advice - like how to get something out of a dryer vent, but what I love even more is the way he's okay with Jon - even calling him "a keeper". I think that's something every girl wants to hear - or read! I love our random texts back & forth. :)"

13 coach loads of police to evict 250 students occupying the Senate Building in 1975
From The Warwick Boar
"Nobody could believe it. That in the most obvious comment concerning reaction inside Senate House as the 12 police coaches rolled up along the ring-road.
For the previous hour the atmosphere had been decidedly tense. It was, I imagine, like the atmosphere inside a Wembley dressing-room on Cup Final Day. The forced jokes and sick humour were well in evidence
A member of the Executive told us to remain cool and calm, and a budding comedian remarked "but don't get collected."
Rumour had got round that 30 to 40 police were turning up. The rumour in an ironic way helped the situation inside the building.
Various "scouting-parties" had gone out to Fletchamstead Highway Police Station to see how the forces were massing. The last car returned very rapidly, and the driver reported that a small number of coaches, vans and cars were waiting by the rugby ground opposite Canley College.
From that point onwards,the occupiers were prepared. Sleeping bags were collected and any doubts about whether this was yet another false alarm were dispelled.
The occupiers kept up a constant telephone link with the other occupied building,the telephone exchange. This link proved unnecessary.
At 7.30 exactly, a simultaneously eviction of the two buildings took place. As an observer inside the occupation, the general participant feeling was one of incredulity.
12 police coaches pulled ceremoniously along the ring road in front of WhitefieIds. Some people laughed, but it was the laughter of people who felt sick in the stomach. We counted the coaches as if we were boxing-match referees, and by 10 we had decided "out".
None of the people named in the writ were in occupation when the police came; this was fortunate, as the senior police office who came to the door of the Senate House were looking searchingly into the interior of the building. All they could see were worried students looking out at them!
A member of the Executive went out to inform the police of our request for them to wait for five minutes whilst all our possessions were gathered together. In effect, these five minutes were only a token shew of bravado, as everybody had their sleeping bags very ready anyway.
So we trooped out, orderly, quietly and with our sense of humour restored. When people realized no arrests were being made, the tension relaxed and the ludicrous ness of the situation began to dawn on the occupiers.
This feeling was increased when it was evident that the police were powerless to stop us marching 20 yards into the Arts Centre. The television cameras gave us a further sense of our role as passive participants in a Keystone Kops - style farce.
Temporarily we were heroes -and this contrasted to the fears of martyrdom that had been rampant earlier. Even the "hotheads" of earlier in the morning had realized that such a massive show of police "strength" was in our favour, and any retaliation could be suicidal, and not only counter-productive.
As the last people left the building, accompanied by police jeers, the police moved in, to presumably check that nobody was laying in hiding for them (they must have been joking).
The riot shields were put away, the police remounted their coaches and rode gallantly into the rising sun.
The Telephone Exchangers arrived in the Arts Centre with their story. Two coaches turned up and didn't even need to empty as the occupiers, outnumbered 10 to 1 raised the white flag (as opposed to the red and black which had previously been on show) and again left peacefully.
And so ended the occupation Pt 1."
Kaskaskia Port Railroad (KRRC) loading limestone on the loop at the port on the Kaskaskia River. Usually in covered hoppers, today its all gondolas. The limestone will be interchanged with the CN five miles to the east. The CN will run the loads to the Prairie States Power Plant near Marissa, IL. The KRRC will pick up the empties the CN dropped to begin the process again. Power includes: KRRC SW1500 #1117, ECRX GP15-1 #1598, and GMTX GP38-2 #2611.

This was a 10 minute layout. I used three sheets of PP from a 6x6 tablet. There is about 1/2 inch of each color left over. Score!
As soon as I made this page, I started thinking about the date the photo was taken (January 29, 2008) and realized it was not quite two months after a shooting at the mall. So this page became a two-page layout. Page two has my two blog posts from December 5-6, 2007. The links will be on that page. It 's surreal that it all happened.

Mall Days
Those days when we had nothing scheduled, yet we were itching to get out of the house, those were mall days. I would meet up with another mom - someone from MOMS Club, Gymboree or Sammie’s dance class, or no one at all - and we would go to the play area at the mall. There were two malls near us - Oakview had a decent play area but there was an awful pattern of random kids getting “dropped off” (aka unsupervised) while the parents shopped. (I’m not kidding.) We would only go there if we wanted to shop afterward or meet for lunch. Or we were feeling lazy; it was a lot closer to our houses. Many times we would meet at Westroads. The play area at this mall was out of the way and clearly meant for younger children. Plus, the play area was across a small walkway from Scooter’s coffeeshop (Caramelicious please!). That was always the first stop before playtime. I even remember bribing my kids with playtime and Goldfish crackers if they could stay by my side and wait for my coffee. (AS IF we weren’t going to stay and play. Ha!) I loved sitting and watching the kids run, jump, play, make-believe and make new friends. We moms, whether we knew each other or not, would sit and chat, sharing stories of motherhood and sleep/shower deprivation. It’s amazing the things complete strangers would tell each other - but we were all the same. Moms. Out and about with our kids. 1.29.08

I promised myself to do at least one layout of me every month. Is it okay I use the same photo of me on the phone each time? LOL! Very simple, but done.
Wagons are loaded with coal from the conveyor belts at Sikulje from the nearby open cast mine, whilst in the distance, Kriegslok locomotive 33-236 waits to shunt them into position for despatch to the Tuzla power station. This will be done by a 661 series Kennedy diesel locomotive. Sikulje, Tuzla, Bosnia Herzegovina.
An ‘abnormal load’ is a vehicle that has any of the following:
- a weight of more than 44,000 kilograms
- an axle load of more than 10,000 kilograms for a single non-driving axle and 11,500 kilograms for a single driving axle
- a width of more than 2.9 metres
- a length of more than 18.65 metres
This document "Code of Practice - Lighting and Marking for Abnormal Load Self escorting vehicles incorporating Operating guidance" gives details of how an escort vehicle should be equipped.
The reference "self escorting" is that abnormal loads do not now need to be escorted by the Police.
I like point 2.1...
"An escort motor vehicle shall have a minimum of four wheels."
Point 2.7 is interesting...
"Flash rates over 10Hz have been shown to increase glare and can also increase the risk of epileptic response. Alternating beacons (right and then left) at 1-3Hz increases the conspicuity of the vehicle without an increase in glare or increasing the risk of an epileptic response."

Loading of 4 locomotives at the Zuidnatie Terminal at the Churchill dock at the port of Antwerp. The locomotives are loaded on the m/v Geervliet (IMO 9536052). The vessel will bring the cargo to the Georgian port of Poti from where they will be railed to their new operator in Azerbaijan.
Behind AZ4A0005 (being hooked up) is AZ4A0006, followed by AZ4A0003 and AZ4A0004.
The two dockers are closely watched by a surveyor
Grandad's beloved 1941 two-tone cream-over-maroon DeSoto being backed into the side-loading car ferry MV Pemaquid. I think that, just as they do now, passengers were loaded first by walking up the ramps into the car deck and then topside, since I made this picture from the deck of the boat. You can see the stanchions and ropes that were used as grab rails for passengers, then dropped so the cars could load. The attendants who backed the cars in moved lightning-fast and packed 'em in like sardines in a can, yet there was never a scratch on Grandad's car so they must've known what they were doing. The ferries today make it relatively easy for the owners to back their own cars in, but there was no way they were going to let civilians back cars up a split ramp into a side-loader in 1954. :D
CREATIVITY QUOTE that inspired the page:
"We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light." - Mary Dunbar
When I read this quote I instantly thought that this would be more meaningful for my daughter to read - but not at this time when she is six years old, but more like when she was 16 years old and she's in the midst of highschool and peer pressure to conform, thats when it would be really important for her to remember that she is unique. So I had this beautiful picture of her that was full of lightness taken last Sunday during her brother's birthday party (which is why she's holding balloons - she later set them free and made a wish - there were 6 balloons); and I had these cute little postage stamps that just happen to have the numbers "6" and "16" on them and I thought I'd make this page look a bit like an envelope. Maybe someday, when she's 16 or in the future sometime, she'll be having a hard time and be able to look at this page and get a better sense of herself.
{And morbidly: My Dad died at 56 years old and I always wish I could find some kind of letter from him. So, not that I'm planning on going anywhere in the next 10 years (before she's 16), but just in case...
{my grandmother always said if you worry about it then it won't happen} - so I guess I'm covered & I'll live a good long life - but then again, just in case, she'll have this one ;) }
Journaling: "From Allison at 6 years old 2/10: Don't forget that you are unique and beautiful." "To Allison at 16 years old: Stay true to yourself and your light in this age of conformity and know that I love
you. Love, Mom."
