A common Wayfarer ticket machine that is standard on most of Ipswich Buses vehicles.
I like the way that ticket machines have progressed in 50 years on public transport from the basic portable machines that conductors used right down to the latest state of the art machines seen in this picture.
When I took this picture, this machine wasn't working properly and had to be replaced with another. The bus driver had to ask people to pay at the enquiry office at Tower Ramparts
My very minimalist entry for the 7777 Redux Contest.
No more free rides, your minifigs will now have to pay for their tickets. No more throwing garbage on the ground, either!

1.5" glass ball ornaments filled with pony bead "gumballs." My 3 & 4 year olds loved filling these up with a funnel.
13/52 for the group 52 of 2012
This week's theme: Technical, mechanical, or machinery
I was rather lacking in inspiration earlier in the week, partly because I was thinking large scale. The obvious solution only came to me later and here is the old Singer Sewing machine (hand operated) that used to belong to my mother-in-law.
I looked up on the Internet about it recently and it dates from the 1930s and was made in Clydebank in Scotland.

Pokies are OK
Werribee Shire Council supports the introduction of poker machines into Victoria, in the hope that it will be beneficial to the finances of clubs.
Council made the decission in response to a questianaire from the Board of Inquiry into Poker Machines.
The questions asked were related to population, number of hotels, licenced clubs, etc, and if council had passed any resolutions in relation to poker machines.
Councilors were asked to submit personal views as well as a resolution of combined council.
Shire secretary, Mr John Kerr, told council that it could make comments on the terms of reference of inquiry, which were in relation to the likely social and economic affects on the introduction of poker machines.
Cr Ted Dowling felt the issue was most important in its effect on local clubs.
He said that everyone recognised the beneficial affect which poker machines had wrought on clubs in New South Wales, staging functions which were completely out of the reach of Victorian clubs.
As to the affects on individuals, Cr Dowling said he felt that each individual had control of own destiny in relation to the gambling aspect.
He said that clubs would have a greater scope for control than hotels because membership fee and the machines would not be freely available to the public.
Cr Dowling said he anticipated a cry about the affects of poker machines on homes, but he felt it was no greater than from any other form of gambling.
Cr Don Myers said he had nothing against women, but he felt they could get caught up in the continual quest for a jackpot.
He went on to say that he had heard there had been a fall-off in patronage in New South Wales.
"Anyway you can't win", he said "the Government will get 15-20% first," he pointed out.
"We have enough forms of gambling, already" Cr Myers claimed.
Crs Dowling and Menegazzo then moved that Council support the introduction of poker machines into Victoria.
Cr Julian Menegazzo said he lived in New South Wales for a number of years and people knew they could not win, however they put $5 or so in for a bit of fun.
He felt that Tattslotto was a bigger problem than poker machines.
Cr Menegazzo said he had seen people put hundreds of dollars into Tattslotto chasing the million-dollar prize.
Cr Glenn Clark said he opposed poker machines.
"Sure, there is good food and entertainment, and fun for those who have $5 to put into the machines, but I have seen the harm done to families by the machines," he said.
He felt the terms of reference had been framed in such a way as to justify the introduction of poker machines.
Cr Clark felt that the decision was one that councils should have to make. He did not feel qualified to speak on behalf of the 5000 people in South-West Riding, on that subject.
Cr Kevin Skehan said that he was certain that some people would be adversely affected by the introduction of poker machines, initially.
He pointed out that the same debate had raged about the introduction of 10 o'clock closing "when the doom and gloom meschants had forecast that we'd all be drunk every night".
"I support the proposal." he said, "it's essential to the development of the club industry and to tourism."
Cr Skehan said that busloads of Victorians went away for weekends to take in poker machines, which were not the prime reason, but merely the catalyst.
"What annoys me," Cr Skehan said, "is the sheer hypocrisy of it all. Poker machines are no different from people queing up at agencies for Tic Tac Toe or Instant Tatts".
"Many clubs and public places already had coin-in-the-slot machines which paid dividends in goods.
"It's ludicrous that in this countrywe have two sets of laws for areas separated by only 150 yards of water", Cr Skehan said.
Cr Hudson supported the poker machines, but only on a restricted basis - not in hotels. He added that clubs would be able to provide more community facilities thus lightening the load on local councils.
Cr John Gibbons said he felt there were more direct benefits from poker machines than from most other forms of gambling. "There is job creation in the machine manufacture, people have more social contact and clubs themselves employ more staff." he pointed out.
Cr Bruce Comben opposed poker machines saying that one only had to visit a club to see the affects on people. "And the club industry in New South Wales had more money than the government", he added.
Cr Ted Dowling said councillors could not sit up as moralists, but that individually they had a right to express their views. He felt they would be an advantage to Victoria. "football clubs have had to run two bob rafles for too long," he concluded.
Cr Pat Goodwin said she opposed poker machines because of the hardship she had seen caused to families.
The motion was carried 5-4 with Cr Southwick abstaining.

Guns are scary, but, fortunately, they are merely machines. They can be disassembled, inspected, analyzed, tested... and understood. Understanding how something works usually makes them seem less scary.
So this is how it works:
1. When a round is fired, expanding gases from burning propellant travels behind the bullet, and some of it leaks into the gas port towards the end of the barrel
2. Gases enter the gas cylinder, and push back on the piston end of the operating rod
3. As the operating rod is pushed back by gases in the gas cylinder, it pushes the bolt back, which extracts the spent cartridge
4. When the oprod recedes, the operating rod spring, which is inside the operating rod, is compressed and exerts pressure in two directions. On the one end, it pushes against the follower rod, and on the other, it pushes against the operating rod, trying to move it back forward.
5. When the bolt moves further back, it begins to push back on the hammer. When the hammer recedes far enough, it is latched in place by the trigger
6. When the bolt is all the way back, the next bullet is pushed up by the follower (which in turn is pushed by the follower arm, then the follower rod, which as we saw in 4, is pushed by the operating rod spring).
7. The operating rod spring begins to push the operating rod forward. The bolt is pushed forward with it, and pushes the next round into the chamber
8. When the trigger is released, the hammer is pushed forward by a spring, strikes the firing pin in the bolt, which hits the primer in the base of the chambered cartridge. The propellant ignites, pushes the bullet down the barrel, and brings us back to step 1.

This wonderful image of Paula took me to a beloved film: Michel Gondry’s La Science des rêves…especially to one scene: where Stéphane was giving Stéphanie a time-machine as a present only because she was pretty! And of course, as every mature lady would have done, I asked my love why he had never given me a time-machine!
Poor he had spent most of his morning creating a time-machine for me… by all the film photographs of Cunda we took during our months-long road trip last year…and presented the time-machine in the form of a board/card-game!
So in the day that I had to stay at home, I went to Cunda-a beloved Aegean island by a time-machine, traveled back in time and played an extremely enjoyable board/card game, which I lost!

At Pevensey Castle
Pevensey Castle: a Saxon Shore fort, Norman defences, a medieval enclosure castle, and later associated remains
The monument includes Anderita Saxon Shore fort, traces of later, Norman defences, an enclosure castle, a 16th century gun emplacement and World War II defences situated on a low spur of sand and clay which now lies around 2km north west of the present East Sussex coastline at Pevensey. During the Roman and medieval periods the spur formed a peninsula projecting into a tidal lagoon and marshland, but coastal deposition and land reclamation have gradually built up the ground around it so that it is now completely land-locked. The roughly oval, north east-south west aligned Roman fort is the earliest of the structures which make up the monument and has been dated to the first half of the fourth century AD. Covering almost 4ha, the fort survives in the form of substantial ruins and buried remains. It is enclosed by a massive defensive wall with a flint and sandstone rubble core faced by coursed greensand and ironstone blocks, interspersed with red tile bonding courses. The whole is up to 3.7m thick and survives to a height of up to 8.1m. The wall was originally topped by a wall walk and parapet. Part excavation in 1906-8 showed that the wall was constructed on footings of rammed chalk and flints underpinned by oak piles and held together by a framework of wooden beams. Investigation of the internal face indicated that this was stepped upwards from a wide base so as to provide extra strength and support. Despite these precautions, a landslip on the south eastern side of the fort has resulted in the destruction of a c.180m length of the perimeter walls and, although fragments of the fallen masonry do survive, most have been removed over the years. Smaller sections of wall have also collapsed along the north western and eastern stretches. The defensive strength provided by the perimeter wall was enhanced by irregularly-spaced, externally projecting semicircular bastions with diameters of around 5m. There were originally at least 15 of these, of which 10 survive today. The fort was entered from its south western, landward approach by way of the main gateway. In front of this a protective ditch 5.5m wide was dug, and, although this became infilled over the years, a 40m stretch located towards its south eastern end has been recut and exposed. The ditch would have been spanned originally by a wooden bridge, although this no longer survives. The main gateway takes the form of a rectangular gatehouse set back between two solid semicircular bastions 8m apart. The 2.7m wide, originally arched entrance is flanked by two oblong guardrooms and the whole gateway structure projects beyond the inner face of the perimeter wall into the fort and is thought to have been originally two or even three storeys high. On the eastern side of the fort is a more simply designed subsidiary gateway, originally a 3m wide archway entrance, giving access to part of the adjacent Roman harbour, now overlain by Pevensey village. The extant archway is a modern reconstruction of the Norman rebuilding of the original entrance. Traces of a wooden causeway which led from it into the fort have been found during partial excavation. Midway along the north western stretch of perimeter wall is a now ruined postern c.2m wide, approached by a curved passage set within the wall. Part excavation between 1906-1908 indicated that the internal buildings which housed the garrison of up to 1,000 men, along with their livestock and supplies, were constructed of timber infilled with wattle and daub. A c.1m sq timber-lined Roman well was found in the south western sector of the fort, at the bottom of which were the remains of the wooden bucket with rope still attached. The well was found to have been filled with rubbish in Roman times and the presence of the bones of cattle, sheep, red deer, wild boar, wild birds, domestic dogs and cats, along with sea shells, gives some indication of the diet and lifestyle of the fort's original inhabitants. Anderita is thought to have been abandoned by its garrison by the latter half of the 4th century AD, and although little is known of its subsequent history until the 11th century, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records a massacre of Britons by the invading Saxons at the fort in AD 491. The Bayeux Tapestry states that William the Conquerer landed at Pevensey in 1066, and the Norman army are believed to have made use of the Roman fort as one of their first armed camps. The defences at Pevensey and the surrounding land were granted to King William's half-brother Robert, Count of Mortain. The medieval defences then went through at least 300 years of development, culminating in the construction of a stone built enclosure castle within the largely intact walls of the earlier Roman fort. It is thought that the first Norman defences took the form of a wooden palisade surrounded by a bank and ditch, and a c.40m length of partially infilled ditch up to 9m wide which survives across the north eastern sector of the earlier fort may indicate their original extent. Limited excavations in 1993-94 showed that the ground surface in the south eastern sector of the fort, in the vicinity of the later stone-built keep, was artificially raised some time before 1200, suggesting that a motte may also have been constructed. The original Roman gateways were rebuilt and a new ditch dug in front of the south western gate. Most of the Norman defences and interior wooden buildings will now survive in buried form beneath the later medieval castle, although herringbone-pattern repairs to the Roman masonry, by then serving as the outer bailey of the medieval defences, also date from this time. Around 1100 the defences were strengthened and the accommodation improved by the addition of a masonry keep in the south eastern sector of the earlier fort. The subject of a complex history of alteration, collapse and repair, the keep utilises part of the earlier, Roman perimeter wall and bastions. It takes the form of a rectangular block measuring c.16.8m by c.9m internally, reinforced by apsidal projections on all sides. Now surviving in ruined form up to first floor level, the keep originally took the form of a tall tower with an entrance on the first floor. A rectangular building measuring 7.6m by 6m was later constructed in the south eastern angle between the keep and the Roman wall. At around 1200 work began on the construction of a smaller, stone-built inner bailey in the south eastern sector of the earlier fort. An L-shaped ditch around 20m wide was dug to define the new enclosure, and this retains water in its northern arm. The material excavated from the ditch and from the destruction of the earlier bank was spread over much of the outer bailey to a depth of up to 1.5m. The ditch was recut during extensive renovations carried out during the early 20th century. The first structure to be built in this phase was the gatehouse to the south west which has an arched entrance between twin, semicircular external towers, now ruined. The basement chambers beneath each tower have ashlar-faced walls and barrel-vaulted ceilings, the southern chamber being entered by way of a newel staircase, the northern by a trapdoor. Both were used to house prisoners. Many subsequent alterations included the replacement, during the 15th century, of the wooden bridge over the outer ditch by a stone causeway. The originally embattled curtain wall enclosing the inner bailey was built within the ditch and inner berm around 1250. This survives almost to its full original height and is faced with coursed Greensand ashlar. Three semicircular external towers provided flanking cover from the narrow embrasures which pierce their walls. Each has a narrow staircase to a basement, a branch staircase off it into the ditch and a room and garderobe, or latrine, at ground floor level. Upper rooms were entered by way of the wall walk and were heated by fireplaces. The basement of the northernmost tower has two rib-vaulted bays, the keeled ribs resting on stiff-leaf corbels. The interior castle buildings continued to be built mainly of wood and these will survive in buried form, although the stone foundations of a chapel were exposed during partial excavation of the northern sector of the inner bailey. Around 20m south east of the chapel is a large stone-lined well at least 15.5m deep, and near this is a pile of medieval stone missile-balls, a selection of those recovered from the ditch. These were thrown from trebuchets during the four sieges of the castle. William, Count of Mortain forfeited Pevensey after an unsuccessful rebellion against Henry I in 1101 and the castle, which remained in the royal gift until the later Middle Ages, passed into the hands of the de Aquila family. The most famous siege took place in 1264-65 when the supporters of Henry III, fleeing from their defeat by the Barons at Lewes, took refuge in the castle. In 1372 the castle was given to John of Gaunt, and during his period of office was used to imprison James I, King of Scotland, who had been seized in 1406, and Joan, Queen of Navarre, accused of witchcraft by her stepson, Henry V. By 1300, the sea had gradually begun to recede from around the castle and its military importance declined as a result. Contemporary records show that the castle walls were constantly in need of expensive repair and by the end of the 14th century were not being properly maintained, although the roof leads were kept intact until the middle of the 15th century. By 1500 the castle had ceased to be inhabited and fell rapidly into decay. The threat of the Spanish Armada led to some renewed interest in the defensive value of the site, and a survey of 1587 records that the castle housed two demi-culverins, or heavy guns. These were sited on the contemporary, south east orientated, M-shaped earthen gun emplacement situated in the outer bailey around 90m north east of the main Roman gateway. This takes the form of a raised level platform c.20m long bounded on the seaward side by a slight bank c.0.4m high and around 3m wide. One of the cast iron guns, manufactured in the East Sussex Weald, is now housed within the inner bailey on a modern replica carriage. From the 17th century the castle passed through the hands of various private owners. Valued as a picturesque ruin during the 18th and 19th centuries, it features in many contemporary engravings and illustrations. In 1925 the Duke of Devonshire presented the monument to the state, and extensive repairs began with a view to opening the monument to the public. These were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II, when the castle resumed its original military purpose of protecting the south coast. The castle was refortified in May 1940 as an observation and command post. It was continuously occupied by regular troops, including Canadian forces and the United States Army Air Corps, who used it as a radio direction centre, and by the Home Guard until 1944. The World War II defences include two pillboxes and three machine gun posts of concrete faced with rubble and flints, carefully concealed and camouflaged within the earlier Roman and medieval fabric. An internal tower was built just to the south of the Roman east gateway and a blockhouse housing anti-tank weapons was built in front of the main Roman gateway. The blockhouse no longer survives. Modifications carried out to the medieval mural towers included lining the interiors with brick and inserting wooden floors. In 1945 the monument was returned to peaceful use and is now in the guardianship of the Secretary of State and open to the public.

To increase your endurance, breathe fully and from your diaphragm when you exercise, particularly when running. This increases your oxygen intake and your lung capacity and lets you exercise longer.

You may not believe it, but playing foosball is a great way to do this. You need similar skills in foosball as you need in volleyball.
