Yes let's meet autumn as our mid-autumn festival is coming! Things do converge mysteriously with or without you knowing or seeing, finding the connections is no big achievement but brings small pleasures to our lives.
I was in Seoul 2 weeks ago meeting Mr. Nam who's company Appree just launched "Leaf-it" and already shipped to Japan's Marcs International for distribution. The leaf post-it comes in 8 different types, each with various sizes and colors of leaves. I hope they are coming to our stores soon.
Two days ago I received a Mackinaw Autumn package from Field Notes, another hint of autumn coming, in colors I'm so very in love with. I regret that I missed their summer collection (Butcher Orange, Butcher Blue, Grass Stain Green). Hmmm.... so Tradio Nature just came to me, Leaf-it and Mackinaw Autumn are both on my desk now, they are all here to set something in motion, the welcoming of our 3,000 years old tradition, mid-autumn festival.
Tasty moon cakes await us, beautiful lanterns hanging all over the places, family gathering dinner and Chiu Chau tea ceremony at home..... such a pleasant anticipation. I particularly like what the shops do on Queen's Road West, about 5-6 stores normally selling incense for worship now hang hundreds of lanterns so beautifully which lighten up the streets. I was there with family on Sunday night, people were there lingering in such warm atmosphere. Tomorrow we will definitely go the park with our lanterns.
PS. My son told me something funny this evening: "God has no time to talk to us, because he has to make up some homework for us, so God is very difficult and we have to thank Him". Where did he get the ideas?

Notes: Enlarged portion of a larger print, taken in the Grose Valley on the second artists' camp (Oct. 1875) under the patronage of Frederick Eccleston Du Faur, see comment box below. The man in the photo, and his distinctive hat, appear in a photo of Du Faur's 'camp keepers', and is named as Lewis Thompson. He also acted as photographic assistant to Bischoff and is shown in an 1875 photograph taken in the Grose, see p.27 in Blue Mountains Pictorial Memories by John Low (1991).
Described as a 'modest unsophisticated bushman', he was the sole survivor of the ill-fated 1874 Andrew Hume expedition in search of Adolph Classen, the sole survivor of Ludwig Leichhardt's 1848 inland expedition, and 'whose loyalty to his leader no one can doubt after hearing his simple tale', see link and full article below.

Notes from Michael Ferner:
It should be noted, however, that the "Jay-Eye-See Special" had nothing to do with the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Co. It was a Fiat, rebuilt by Louis Disbrow who subsequently joined the Case team and renamed the car to please his new employer.
Nice picture of the "White Streak", by the way. This is one of the 1911 cars, rebodied and rechassied. I can't be 100 % sure, but I believe it's the one raced by Jagersberger at Indy.
Ah, that's why I didn't recognize the driver! I haven't seen that many pics of Jagersberger that I remembered, and since it's the rebuilt version of the car I only checked with 1912 pictures.
"Won many dirt track races" is perhaps a bit of embellishment, but Jagersberger did win one big meeting at the Hawthorne track in Cicero/Chicago back in June, with the car still in its Indy specification, against a field containing Hughie Hughes in the Mercer, Bob Burman (Benz) , Ralph de Palma (Simplex) and Eddie Hearne (Fiat). The cars were rebuilt during the summer months, and Jagersberger crashed at a dirt track meeting in Columbis/SC early in November, putting an end to his promising career. He was then driving a sister car, called the "Eagle" which was later renamed as the "Bullet" and run until the late teens with many famous drivers at the wheel, including Hearne, Bill Endicott and Fred Horey. I believe that the "Bullet" was originally Will Jones's Indy ride.
Excerpt from something I wrote on the Case, "Jay-Eye-See" etc. on another forum:
The J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company (one of the best ever names for a racing team ) of Racine in Wisconsin made automobile racing history by filing the first ever entry for an Indianapolis 500 Mile race on October 27 in 1910. Though the brand name still exists, it is no longer connected to the car manufacturing business (which went under in 1927), and the total output of racing cars never even reached double digits, but its importance in racing is still enormous since it formed the nucleus of the very first, and possibly biggest ever team of "historic" racing cars in the world - the team of John Alexander "Alex" Sloan, and his travelling circus show under the banner of the International Motor Contest Association, or IMCA for short.
In October of 1910, when that first Indianapolis entry had been filed, Case had only just begun manufacturing cars, and the racing car that was going to be raced at the Brickyard was no more than an idea in the mind of Lewis Strang, a young racing driver from New York. Although young in years, Strang had already acquired extensive experience in racing, having driven Isotta-Fraschini, Thomas, Renault, Buick, Fiat, Allen-Kingston, SPO and Jackson cars in competition during the last three years, mostly very successful, too.
It was hoped to test the Case as early as February 27, during the Mardi Gras Carnival races at New Orleans (LA), but the car could not be finished in time. Luckily, though, Strang got another chance on the last of March, putting the new Case through 300 miles of a beach race at Jacksonville (FL) - actually, he completed only 270 miles, finishing 6 laps down and in last place, but at least the reliability was there. With its small 4649 cc engine, the Case was not going to win anyway, but to go through such an arduous grind without much trouble was exactly the publicity that the Racine company was looking for. The winning Pope (6389 cc) and National (7320 cc) cars were running in a different league, but the third placed Mercer (4927 cc) finished only 12½ minutes ahead, so the speed of the little Case was competitive, too.
On Memorial Day, the three Case cars lined up in the hopeful expectation of giving a good account of themselves: On Memorial Day, the three Case cars lined up in the hopeful expectation of giving a good account of themselves:
1911 Case #1, Lewis Strang, relief driver Elmer Ray
1911 Case #8, Joe Jagersberger, relief driver Louis Larsonneur
1911 Case #9, Will Jones, relief driver Russell Smith
All three cars now sported the flashy look of the #9 car, but none of them managed to stay in the race for more than 300 miles - the steering gear proved to be the weak point on the rough bricks of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Undeterred, the team commenced an exhaustive schedule of racing over the following weeks: the Algonquin Hill Climb on June 8, the Hawthorne Track race on the 11th, Kenosha Driving Park on June 18, and Wisconsin State Fair Park on the 21st. With fair success, as Jagersberger even won the main event at Hawthorne, but Strang was injured the following week in Kenosha (WI), just a few miles south of home base, breaking an arm and an ankle. Worse was to come, as within a month he was dead, crashing fatally during a reliability tour through Wisconsin - at zero mph!!! Strang had stopped his Case touring car at a newly built bridge, in order to let a horse-drawn carriage through, only to find the fresh road shoulder giving way, and tumbling down the steep embankment - he was pinned under the car, and killed instantly.
Bereft of its leading light, the team soldiered on, now headed by Jagersberger, an Austrian-born racing veteran, and a promising young Californian named Jay McNay, but incredibly, within little more than a fortnight two more careers ended in Case racing cars during November, with Jagersberger suffering very serious injuries at the South Carolina State Fair races in Columbia, and McNay perishing in a practice shunt at the Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prize meeting in Savannah (GA)! That was the nadir of a debutant year that could perhaps be best described as "character building", but thankfully, fortunes improved from here on. Two factors or, to be more precise, two persons were chiefly responsible for that reversal of fortunes, and one of them had already joined the team previous to that disastrous month of November: Alex Sloan. A former member of the management team of the already legendary Barney Oldfield, Sloan was a master manipulator, educated and entrepreneurial, with a vast experience of sports in general, and racing in particular. It was probably he who contacted Louis Disbrow, the second piece of the jigsaw puzzle, and one of the leading drivers in the country, who had only just announced that he was leaving the Pope-Hartford factory team to branch out on his own, with a "new" car he had just purchased, of which more anon.
Disbrow was present at Savannah to race the potent Pope "Hummer", merely fulfilling his last contractual obligations for the team that was about to close its storied racing department, and consented to drive Jagersberger's Case in one of the supporting races. It was an inauspicious debut for the driver, but Disbrow still joined the Case team over the winter, apparently liking the itinerary set out by Sloan: dirt track racing, dirt track racing, and more dirt track racing - every day of the week, if at all possible! That was right up Disbrow's alley, who really didn't care that much about road racing, having been reared on America's dusty fairground ovals - he and Alex Sloan would be partners for the rest of his career, well into the twenties! The setup is now complete for our journey, the "magical mystery tour" with Alex Sloan and his travelling circus show: within a few short years, the "old" Case racing team will be totally revamped, expanded and disguised, and it's so easy to lose orientation. So let's start right here with our inventory:
Three Case cars had been built for the Indy 500, all three basically identical, with 4-cylinder T-head engines built by the Wisconsin Engine Co., 4 1/4 * 5 inches (283.7 CID/4649 cc). It does not really look plausible to assume that there were more cars, but we should investigate: what about Strang's car at Jacksonville (March 31)? Occam's razor leads us to suggest that it was the same car he raced at Indy, and indeed, looking at the pictures of the two unpainted cars, Strang's looks slightly "used", while Jagersberger's has a fresh finish. Did the team ever enter more than three cars? Not to the best of my knowledge. And the accidents? No "terminal" damage? The most difficult question, as only very few pictures exist to help us out. But we mustn't forget that in those times, almost anything was repaired, over and over again - even the engines were likely special developments, and any damage, even major engine failures would be put back into action after suitable time in the workshop, as there would be no complete spare units, only parts. Yet we should be prepared for "transformations", i.e. cars being rebuilt with more or less major changes in appearance, and maybe even specification - this should become more clear in the process of our survey.
A little help may be provided by the nicknames the cars acquired during the year, presumably under the influence of Sloan's management. The first occurence of these nicknames that I can detect is from the September 13, 1911 meeting at Comstock Park in Grand Rapids (MI). McNay was there with his Cutting, presumably as part of the Ernie Moross équipe with Bob Burman, Lee Oldfield (not Barney!) and Juddy Kilpatrick, complete with a team of cars including the Blitzen-Benz. Ray Harroun was also there, giving various "exhibitions" with the Marmon "Wasp", including a wheel-change race - if ever somebody tries to tell you, that both car and driver retired upon winning the inaugural Indy 500, don't listen! Sloan arrived with only two cars, both carrying names much in the same fashion as the "Wasp" or the "Blitzen": Jagersberger was to drive the "White Streak", while the former Marmon chauffeur Lou Heinemann was down to drive the "Little Case Giant", or "Little Giant" for short. Interestingly, a few weeks later at Springfield (IL), the "Little Giant" was entered by one A. McFadden, as opposed to the Case factory (or Alex Sloan) for the other cars, as usual - anomalies like that will happen from time to time, and though I can't be sure if it has any meaning, it's perhaps best to take note just in case. This Mr. McFadden also appears to have gotten some seat time in the car during the afternoon, and this will also become a recurring theme: the swapping around amongst the drivers. Other than that, one Austin A. McFadden appears as the promoter of two race meetings at Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo (MI) the next July, both (naturally) attended by Sloan and his team. Racing is a small world indeed, even in America...
More on the "Jay-Eye-See":
Before the Case team started its 1912 campaign in California, Sloan saw to it that the press knew what to expect: for one thing, joining the team now as a full-time member was Louis Disbrow, as has been mentioned. The other big news item was the cars he was bringing to the team: early in November of 1911, it had been reported that Disbrow had bought the "200 hp Fiat" of E. W. C. Arnold, allegedly the car Felice Nazzaro had raced at Brooklands in 1908, (in)famous for its alleged lap record of over 121 mph - actually, it appears to have been an identical "twin" of that particular car, an 18,146 cc (190 * 160) OHV monster with an actual output of 175 hp, according to the most reliable sources. It had been driven for Arnold by Lewis Strang and Ralph de Palma in exhibitions at the Atlanta Motordrome, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Los Angeles Motordrome at Playa del Rey. Its only race appearance, as far as I can determine, happened in a 50-miler at Indianapolis on Labor Day of 1910, where de Palma finished 4th behind Eddie Hearne (Benz), Ray Harroun (Marmon) and Al Livingston (National) - not quite the performance of a champion!
Shortly after the purchase of the big Fiat, Disbrow announced plans to convert the car over the winter into the fastest dirt track racer in the world, but consented to a public tryout during a motorcycle meet at the Guttenberg track in New Jersey, during which the Fiat caught fire and inflicted painful burns on the driver. Both he and the car were restored to health by March 31 for their first competitive event at the Lakeside Inn Speedway near San Diego (CA), where the big Fiat sported the now well known upside-down boat body as well as the name "Jay-Eye-See Special", and was reportedly powered by a 290 hp engine of 1,760 CID - first indications of the Sloan flair for embellishment that would become a virtual trademark for IMCA later on! Somehow, Sloan seems to have become "confused", and quoted the specifications of the new Fiat S76 record car instead (apart from adding another 30 CID for good measure) - oh, well... The quoted weight of 3,150 lbs (1,429 kg) was likely more accurate, and indicative of some actual gains in that department - not really surprising, either, as the car had been devoid of any ornamental features such as bodywork, originally!

Editor's Note: I chose the title for this post based on the fact that while I've heard of the internet conspiracy theory known as "Q," this is my first contact with it in real life. Robin will get it.
I had to go over to the old neighborhood a few weeks back to pick up this special prescription cat food for Bob, our ancient crypt keeper ghost cat, and I decided to take a weird route home that involved following the Kennedy Expressway out to O'Hare. Along the way while in the middle of the permanent traffic jam, I saw this guy -- I can't imagine it's not a guy, or that he's any older than, say, 30 -- next to a collection of banners he'd attached to the Sayre Street bridge advertising "Q." He saw me take this picture, so he waved and raised a camera to take a picture of me back. Now I'm probably on some web site listed as one of the awakened.
"Say, Clint," you might be asking. "What is 'Q'?" And the first thing I'll say is that this had better be the only place on the internet you ever ask that unless you want a horde of basement-dwelling teenagers holding digital pitchforks to drag you forcefully into the dark, dank underbelly of the web where everyone looks like a poorly-drawn frog and chants something like "One of us! One of us!"
Here's the deal. Q is short for "Q-Anon," which is actually supposed to be a person who first popped up on an internet sewer called 4-chan. (And if you ever want to lose all hope for humanity, spend an hour poking around 4-chan.) Sometime around the 2016 election, this Q-Anon popped up and started pretending to have special knowledge obtained from his supposed high level security clearance of an intricate and ornate conspiracy waged by evil Left Wing types that penetrated far into the bowels of the Deep State government. Also, these are the guys that said Hillary Clinton was running a child porn ring out of the basement of a pizza joint in New York City. The basic theory in recent times is that Robert Mueller is a plant working in secret with Donald Trump to untangle this Left Wing Deep State conspiracy, that there are secret indictments waiting for hundreds of Democrats, and that at some point soon the righteous will rise up and line all the Democrats against the wall, and a new glorious day will dawn when all the disaffected and abused will finally be able to climb from their basements and set their computers up in the light of day. Or something dumb like that. It's a conspiracy theory, and it's nuts.
But there is this core of sad and gullible people who have really gotten into the "Q" theory, and they've infected a bunch of folks who might otherwise seem normal. A not insignificant portion of the Fox News viewership is into it. A lot of the old white people who go to Trump rallies buy it. Your crazy uncle is probably a Q. The woman in this video is a Q.
I hate conspiracy theories. I think there is no quicker way to unravel a society than to feed a bunch of conspiracy theories to its most gullible members. These gullible types then feel like they have some sort of special knowledge, that they're somehow more in-tune with the world and smarter than everyone else -- one of the great ironies of conspiracy theory -- and they become willing to subvert every essential thing that keeps society in place in order to defend against the conspiracy.
Meanwhile, a lot of people on my side of the political fence talk about Russia and it's attempts to "hack" our elections, and some people believe that the Russians have actually physically changed the votes in our voter machines. And, yes, on some level that's taken on the degree of absurdity of the typical conspiracy theory. But I don't think Russia is some technological superpower able to penetrate deep through all our digital infrastructure and control everything. I think that, in general, Russia is a yahoo country full of rednecks, but that they were lucky enough to recognize a certain kinship with their redneck American cousins. They saw where we were most gullible (mostly in things related to white nationalism) and fed us a bunch of conspiracy theories like Pizzagate that inspired us to hack ourselves. They didn't have to hack our votes. They just hacked our brains ... or lack thereof.

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no studio name that was posted in Forest Hill, London S.E. The photograph is high-definition.
Forest Hill is a leafy residential area near its namesake railway station. Set in landscaped gardens with a weekly farmers’ market and outdoor summer concerts, the family-friendly Horniman Museum has an aquarium, a beloved stuffed walrus, and a musical instrument collection. At the edge of the neighbourhood, Blythe Hill Fields park has sweeping views of the city skyline.
The house number is 51; if anyone recognises exactly where is is, please leave a note.
The card was posted on Friday the the 20th. October 1911 to:
Mother Ursula,
Ursuline Convent,
Westgate-on-Sea,
Kent.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mother Ursula,
Please accept all kind
thoughts and best wishes
for a very happy feast.
Yours sincerely,
S. & J. Gibbons & little ones".
The writer would have been referring to the Feast of St. Ursula which takes place every year on the 21st. October.
Ursuline Convent
Ursuline College (formerly Ursuline Convent School) is a Catholic secondary school located in Westgate-on-Sea, in north-east Kent. Aimed at pupils aged 11 to 19, the college is based within the Ursuline and Catholic ethos, aiding and teaching its pupils within this regime.
The school in Westgate-on-Sea was established in 1904 when a group of Ursuline Sisters fled Boulogne-sur-Mer with a number of their pupils. Although their school in Boulogne-sur-Mer had existed since 1624, laws passed in France had made it impossible for the Sisters to continue their work of Christian education in France.
Initially the school was set up as a boarding school for girls, meeting the needs of parents working in the Colonies or serving in the Forces.
The Actor Bill Shine
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 20th. October 1911 marked the birth of Bill Shine.
Born Wilfred William Dennis Shine in London, Bill was a British theatre, film and television actor.
Bill was born into a family of theatre actors; his father, mother, grandmother, two uncles and an aunt had worked in theatre. His father Wilfred Shine also appeared in films during the 1920's and the 1930's.
Bill Shine made his film debut in 1929, since when he appeared in over 160 films and television series.
Towards the end of his career, he was best known for playing Inventor Black on the children's television series Super Gran.

The Death of Bill Shine
Bill died at the age of 85 on the 24th. July 1997 in Kensington, London.
Here at id-iom Sundays are usually spent lounging about in the jewel room throwing precious stones at each other but yesterday we decided it was time to share some of our accumulated knowledge with the younger generation. It's tough being a vandal without some guidance.
After we had imparted all we know of the sacred art of paint chucking to George it was time for him to step up and create something for himself. What we're left with is his pretty glorious 'G' piece. Pretty spiffy if i say so myself.
Let's hope he continues. Plus, we're only really in it for the thank you notes...
Cheers

[PLEASE NOTE: IMAGE TAKEN WITH A BETA SAMPLE CAMERA]
February 2nd I was one of the lucky few who get their hands on the much anticipated new Canon flagship workhorse: EOS-1D X Mark II. As an ambassador for Canon Netherlands I was invited to join a small, select, group of press people at a car drifting school near the famous old Dutch racing circuit of Zandvoort.
My conclusion: With all attention focused on the raw specs this camera feels slightly undersold at this point. Not surprisingly though; since the two best features are very hard to put into hard numbers. But actual use puts it into a whole different perspective – incredible image quality combined with near perfect autofocus makes this camera a game changer.
Full report here
Here are photos and notes on my first day at the D23 Expo 2017. I got to the Convention Center about 5:45 am, and go to the end of the outside showfloor line at about 6 am. I went through metal detectors, and was directed to a square area outlined by tape. It was overcast and about 75 degrees. There were many thousands of people ahead of me. There were also the overnighters down in Hall E, who got to go into the show floor ahead of us in the outside line. The sun broke through the clouds at about 8:30, so it started getting a lot warmer. They outside lines started moving at about 9 am towards the main entrance.
I got in at about 9:30, and made a beeline to the Disney Store. Unfortunately, the standby line was closed at that point, and they gave me a Store Pass for 3 pm. They said the line could be opened up at any time, so I could come back later to see if they had opened it up again.
I went to the D23 Design Challenge display, and took a few photos. At that time the first place winner wasn't displayed. I finally saw it when I left, and they had also rearranged the display.
I then went to the Disney Music Emporium, because of the many newly released picture vinyl record discs. I was interested in the Disneyland attraction discs. But when I got there, I also decided to get the Moana picture disc. I also got a holographic vinyl of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Shining a light on the vinyl while it spins on a turntable makes a holographic image of the Millennium Falcon float above one disc, and an X-Wing Fighter in another.
Then I went to the Disney Store (at about 11 am), and was pleasantly surprised that they had opened up the standby line. The Store Pass line (for the 11 am time slot) had also started to be filled. I got in there I gathered up my goodies. I also took pictures of various merchandise, especially limited edition or Designer merchandise. However, a mishap with my bank card that I couldn't resolve forced me to leave with just the Designer Lithographs, which I paid for with cash. Fortunately I fixed the issue after I got home, and was okay for the next day.
