On Monday night, a young woman in our area became missing. She was last seen walking home from work at a restaurant. Posters and emails are flying everywhere. There's a huge police presence, as well.
Lost amongst a cluster of abandoned and tumbledown buildings next to the river Humber, Hull, is Riverside Photographic Studios, empty and derelict. Parts of the roof is missing, and upstairs the floors are rotting and dangerous. Amongst the collapsed ceilings and peeling paint are the remnant of a place that would once have been an impressive building. The last owners Anthony David Baines and family now operate a photography business in nearby Beverley.
Usually when I build low loader it needs to carry something. Preferably something complicated, not just a box or something. The Nooteboom low loader with swing dolly I’m having for about six years now but a suitable load was still missing. For the occasion I used the Volvo wheel loader set but that doesn’t fit that much in my opinion. Lately I replaced that one by the Doosan designed by Eric Trax but when hauling that one a swing dolly isn’t needed because of the weight. Therefore I used the Liebherr 9800 set to build my own excavator.
I had to scale it down to 1:17 which brought me to the R964C. The sprocket wheels are the basis for such a model, the track width as well. Based on the weight of the machine (about 75 tons or 167000 lbs) it’s a suitable machine to carry onto my low loader.
Because of the limitations of the Control+ system at the time I started building the machine I wanted to have it technically similar to the set. The drawback mainly ar the shortness of the electrical wires to the motors and no additional wires being available.
Starting point was the undercarriage. Other than the set I wanted to place the hub in the upper structure, otherwise the undercarriage would be too clunky. Drawback then is you can’t rotate the upper structure continuously. The drivetrain to the turntable is put in the upper structure. A bearing ring is put between both segments to allow a smooth swinging mechanism.
Before starting with the entire upper structure I started shaping and designing the arm. It is not an exact copy of the set because I considered some ratios to be incorrect. The motors in the main segment are repositioned as well as the linear actuators. The boom needed to be as light weight as possible as since I’m not a true Technic builder I didn’t make use of those panels. I took a few three brick high panels and related elements to lower the weight. Even though for one XL motor elevating the whole arm is a tough job. That’s something that needs to be modified later on. The bucket also became a bit heavier than the one in the set as I wanted to hide the small actuators that open and closes the bucket. The finishing touch of the arm needed some ‘plumbing’ by positioning the whole hydraulic system and its hoses. Therefore I studied a the real thing put in every hose in its position. That was quite some work but gives the right looks.
Building modular is something I’m doing for quite some years already which I also wanted to apply to the Liebherr. The upper structure consist of a base frame on which first the arm is connected. I wouldn’t say you easily can disconnect the arm from the base frame in one go (you’ve to disconnect quite some hoses and wires first) but it’s possible. While both the hubs a positioned in the back section of the upper structure they also have to be reached easily and it also shouldn’t be a hassle to replace the batteries. That’s why the entire bodywork can be removed from the base frame. The operator’s cab is a separate section as well. It’s also put in a higher position which normally is the case with front shovels.
To give the model the finishing touch it is supplied with catwalks, steps, bars all around and a safety case over the operator’s cab. Stickers has been supplied by JaapTechnic who did a great job again.
The machine does weight quite a lot and once loaded onto the low loader the truck is able to pull it. However, I broke a crank shaft already as well as two XL motors … And ‘empty shell’ would have been a better option but a fully operational excavator is far more fun to build.
The meain reason for visiting Cambridge was to see King's College Chapel.
I must first than two friends, Simon K and Aidan for posting shots from Cambridge and so firing up my desire to visit.
Things fell into place and I found myself on a train last Sunday, and a place on the first tour of the day Monday morning.
I will add more thoughts as I post shots, but this for a start.
Quite the strongest emotional response I have ever had to a building, I had to choke back tears!
All chairs and seating have been removed, so there is just the building.
"Just."
Just a handful of us early visitors had the entire chapel to ourselves.

Begun by Henry VI, completed under the direction of Henry VII, the glass scheme installed under the somewhat-disinterested Henry VIII. 'The heart and soul of early 20th Century Anglicanism' according to M R James, the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols begun here during the First World War helped invent the modern Christmas. The fan vaulting is spectacular, the proportions (300ft long, 40ft wide, 90ft high) almost shocking in their single-minded Perpendicular triumphalism. The Chapel vies with Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals as the best single medieval building in Cambridgeshire, but the vast scheme of early 16th Century glass is undoubtedly the biggest and best of its kind anywhere in the British Isles.

-------------------------------------------
King's College Chapel is the chapel of King's College in the University of Cambridge. It is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture and features the world's largest fan vault.[3] The Chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses and three subsequent decades. The Chapel's large stained glass windows were completed by 1531, and its early Renaissance rood screen was erected in 1532–36. The Chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King's College Choir. It is a landmark and a commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge.
Henry VI planned a university counterpart to Eton College (whose Chapel is very similar, but not on the scale intended by Henry). The King decided the dimensions of the Chapel. Reginald Ely was most likely the architect and worked on the site since 1446.[6] Two years earlier Reginald was charged with sourcing craftsmen for the Chapel's construction.[6] He continued to work on the site until building was interrupted in 1461, having probably designed the elevations.[6] The original plans called for lierne vaulting, and the piers of the choir were built to conform with them.[6] Ultimately, a complex fan vault was constructed instead.[6] Reginald probably designed the window tracery at the extreme east of the church's north side: the east window of the easternmost side chapel, which unlike the Perpendicular style of the others is in curvilinear Gothic style.[6] The priest and later bishop Nicholas Close (or Cloos) was recorded as the "surveyor", having been the curate of St John Zachary, a church demolished to make way for the Chapel.[7][8][9]
The first stone of the Chapel was laid, by Henry himself, on the Feast of St James the Apostle, 25 July 1446, the College having been begun in 1441. By the end of the reign of Richard III (1485), despite the Wars of the Roses, five bays had been completed and a timber roof erected. Henry VII visited in 1506, paying for the work to resume and even leaving money so that the work could continue after his death. In 1515, under Henry VIII, the building was complete but the great windows had yet to be made.
The Chapel features the world's largest fan vault, constructed between 1512 and 1515 by master mason John Wastell. It also features fine medieval stained glass and, above the altar, The Adoration of the Magi by Rubens, painted in 1634 for the Convent of the White Nuns at Louvain in Belgium. The painting was installed in the Chapel in 1968; this involved the lowering of the Sanctuary floor leading up to the High Altar. It had been believed that gradations were created in 1774 by James Essex, when Essex had in fact lowered the floor by 5 1/2 inches,[10] but at the demolition of these steps, it was found that the floor instead rested on Tudor brick arches.
During the removal of these Tudor steps, built at the Founder's specific request that the high altar should be 3 ft above the choir floor, human remains in intact lead coffins with brass plaques were discovered, dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, and were disinterred.[12]
The eventual installation of the Rubens was also not without problems: once seen beneath the east window, a conflict was felt between the picture's swirling colours and those of the stained glass.[13][title missing] The Rubens was also a similar shape to the window, which "dwarfed it and made it look rather like a dependent postage stamp".[14] Plain shutters were proposed, one on each side, to give it a triptych shape (although the picture was never part of a triptych) and lend it independence of form, which is how one sees the Rubens today. The installation was designed by architect Sir Martyn Beckett, who was "philosophical about the furore this inevitably occasioned - which quickly became acceptance of a solution to a difficult problem."[15]
During the Civil War the Chapel was used as a training ground by Oliver Cromwell's troops, but escaped major damage, possibly because Cromwell, having been a Cambridge student, gave orders for it to be spared. Graffiti left by these soldiers is still visible on the north and south walls near the altar.[16] During World War II most of the stained glass was removed and the Chapel again escaped damage.[17]

No Celebration for the Mothers of the Missing in Mexico
Daniela Pastrana
MEXICO CITY, May 15 (IPS) - Emma Veleta and Toribio Muñoz were married 40 years ago and had seven children, four boys and three girls. They lived in the town of Anáhuac, 100 km from the capital of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. But on Jun. 19, 2011, as they were celebrating Father’s Day, tragedy struck.
See anything different? Combat (1977) is missing its sticker on top of the cartridge. These can fall off, especially since the game is 40 years old.
Charley took care of his games, because (besides the sticker being off) they're in great condition.
I miss him so much that it hurts.
It’s only 1 month since daddy left us, but it feels like he has been gone for a year. I think about daddy every day, all the fun moments we had. I don’t know why daddy is gone, mom says it’s complicated and when daddy calls me we don’t talk about it. I can’t remember exactly where he is, but I know it’s 15.000 miles from here. I can’t wait to see him again and give him a big hug, but I have to wait for long time. When I’m crying mommy says that daddy will be home soon and everything is okay. But I don’t believe her. There are a lot of people who think that my dad can be evil sometimes, but that’s because he’s in pain. Mommy has told me a lot of times that daddy’s leg really hurts. I just think my daddy is cool. Because every time I fall and hurt my leg I start cry, but I have never seen daddy cry. Last time I saw daddy was in the airport, he gave me a hug and promised that he would come back. I’ve never cried that much before. Now I just hope that daddy will come home soon. The best thing about daddy is that he’s funny. He can always make me laugh and forget about the troubles. I hope I can go visit him soon… It’s hard to think that there’s 5 months left. Because I miss him so much that it hurts.
In 1997 this tin sign was found in the attic of 437 7th St NW. The building had been scheduled for demolition by the General Services Administration (GSA). This is where Clara Barton managed the Missing Persons Office, locating soldiers missing after the Civil War. It is now being restored for use as a museum. Washington, DC.
The Clara Barton National Historic Site is nearby in Glen Echo - see Red Cross HQ.

It came as a surprise to find this 'Missing' poster for a man from Glasgow on display 400 odd miles away in Southampton.
John Murphy, 52 of Dennistoun, Glasgow, has been missing since May 12th 2015. Despite numerous searches by police, family and the public, there have been no further sightings of John since the day he went missing. He was spotted leaving a newsagents in Duke Street, Glasgow just after 7 am with a paper under his arm walking towards the bus stop. Anyone with any information please contact London Road Police on 101.
Let's hope Mr Murphy turns up safe.

I may be making it up, but I wouldn't be the only person who has wondered if Helen willed her life to last just long enough to see her daughter Michana ('mike') married. Within a week after the wedding she'd passed away.
I'll miss her. KD and I used to run into Mike and Helen at the winter farmer's market with great frequency. Helen would say 'tell me something new and interesting'; KD would talk about the latest happenings around town (her finger on the pulse due to her job) while I'd try hard to think of something unusual to pique her curiosity. Sometimes I'd make up "facts" just to see if I could trip her up ... never could, but we sure had a good laugh over my efforts. She liked KD especially, had a soft spot for the non-hets among us (finally, someone we didn't have to fight to convince we weren't freakish monsters!) and there wasn't a time she wasn't dressed just so.
At her memorial service Teddy (pictured above behind Helen) told me that when she and her brother & sisters were children Helen would say that the only appropriate place to chew gum was "in the privacy of the boudoir".
What a lady.
Had some service done at the dealership. I keep finding things that don't seem right. Today, I change out the axle nuts to the new recommended replacements, to find, what looks to me like maybe a transmission mount that might be missing.
UPDATE: Turns out this is merely an assembly point during the factory build of the vehicle. Just below the area in question, you can see what is actually the transmission mounting bracket. Thankfully, so far the only thing the dealership mechanic failed to put back together properly is the fender wheel well lining. Now if I could ONLY get the dealership service manager to actually take my phone calls.
