Dr. Evermor's Forevertron, built in the 1980s, is the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world, standing 50 ft. (15,2 m.) high and 120 ft. (36,5 m.) wide, and weighing 300 tons[1]. It is housed in Dr. Evermore's Art Park on Highway 12, in the town of Sumpter, in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States.
The sculpture incorporates two Thomas Edison dynamos from the 1880s, lightning rods, high-voltage components from 1920s power plants, scrap from the nearby Badger Army Ammunition Plant, and the decontamination chamber from the Apollo 11 spacecraft[2]. Its fictional creator, Dr. Evermor, was born Tom Every[3] in Brooklyn, Wisconsin[disambiguation needed ] and is a former demolition expert who spent decades collecting antique machinery for the sculpture and the surrounding fiction that justifies it. According to Every, Dr. Evermor is a Victorian inventor who designed the Forevertron to launch himself, "into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam." The Forevertron, despite its size and weight, was designed to be relocatable to a different site—the sculpture is built in sections that are connected by bolts and pins.
In addition to the Forevertron itself, the sculpture includes a tea house gazebo from which Every says Queen Victoria and Prince Albert may observe the launching of Dr. Evermor; it also includes a giant telescope where sceptics may observe the ascent. Dr. Evermor's art park is home to scores of other sculptures, many of which relate to the Forevertron, such as the "Celestial Listening Ear" and the "Overlord Master Control Tower". Other large-scale sculptures include gigantic insects (the "Juicer Bug" and "Arachna Artie"), the "Epicurean" bellows-driven barbecue train, "The Dragon", and "The UFO". The most numerous sculptures are the "Bird Band and Orchestra" which includes nearly 70 birds ranging from the size of a child to twenty feet tall, all made from scrap industrial parts, geological survey markers, knives, loudspeakers, springs, and musical instruments, among other salvaged materials.
Tom Every says he takes pride in allowing the original materials to remain unaltered as much as possible, using their original forms in new juxtapositions to create his aesthetic. While he himself is not often available for tours of the art park, the site can generally be accessed from passing through the surplus store adjacent to it, Delaney's Surplus. Mr. Every also created much of the installation art for the House on the Rock, including the world's largest carousel

A whistle stop visit to London and I found this sign. Thanks to Satguru's help!
Sadly the right turn, one way street sign that used to be under here has gone.
This unusual shopwindow display could be seen for quite some days in the otherwise colorful and buzzing centre of Leipzig. I like the eerie touch of the bare mannequins, staring blankly and relentlessly at the people passing by (and maybe at the fashion model photographs across the street reflected in the windopane). It is a rare sight in this age of plenty, reminiscent of the times before 1990 when shortage was omnipresent in Eastern Germany.

DENMARK ORDERS DEPORTATION OF WHALE DEFENDERS
5 Sea Shepherd Volunteers Were Deported From The Faroe Islands this Morning.
Rosie Kunneke (South Africa), Christophe Bondue (Belgium), Xavier Figarella (Corsica/France), Marianna Baldo (Italy), Kevin Schiltz (Luxembourg) were deported from the Faroe Islands at 0130 Hours today.
The 5 volunteers appealed the deportation request, but their appeal was rejected by Denmark.
Thet volunteers agreed to meet with police last night, they were arrested upon arrival.
The volunteers demanded to serve them time in a Faroese jail. That demand was denied.
The 5 were arrested on July 23 and later convicted for interfering in the slaughter of over 250 pilot whales on the killing beaches of Bøur and Tórshavn.
5 more Sea Shepherd volunteers were on Wednesday at the killing beach of Sandavágur where another 61 pilot whales were slaughtered.
The pod was reported to the whalers by a tourist flight on an Atlantic Airways helicopter. Under the new law tourists are obligated to report whale sightings to the whalers.
Here’s how it works in the Faroes.
A Danish Judge convicts five Sea Shepherd volunteers of the “crime” of attempting to save the lives of Pilot whales.
Denmark orders the payment of 200,000 kroner (about €30,000) in fines or imprisonment for 14 days.
Sea Shepherd and the five volunteers refuse to pay the fine and demand their right to serve their time.
As Rosie Kunneke said, “We demand to serve the time for our crimes of compassion.”
Denmark refuses to allow the five to serve the time and orders the five to be deported despite the fact that the sentences are being appealed.
The Danes refuse to answer the question of how can Denmark deport a European Union citizen if Denmark is a member of the European Union?
Will this be the way things go? Convictions followed by fines unpaid and jail sentences not served, followed by deportations. This could result in hundreds of deportations yet the opposition will continue with greater strength.
Denmark must be opposed in the courts, opposed economically, opposed politically and opposed morally.
What kind of human being in this day and age supports such a barbarically cruel activity?
The Faroese whalers and the Danes who support them are proud of the grindadrap (the murder of whales). But they should remember that Pride goeth before a fall as it says in the Bible. (Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.)
More volunteers will come, this year and next. The BOB BARKER left Bremen today bound for the Faroes.
If the whale killers attempt to kill another pod of defenseless whales, Sea Shepherd will continue to interfere undeterred by the Danish courts, the Danish Navy and the Danish government.
There can be no justification for this atrocity and compassionate people cannot morally back down in the face of such blatantly evil violence and such wantonly gross disrespect for life.
The killing of Pilot whales and their removal from a North Atlantic population, the numbers of which are unknown is ecologically irresponsible.
The grindadráp is the largest single slaughter of marine mammals in Europe. A total of 490 pilot whales have been slaughtered in five grindadráps, which have all taken place since June, this year alone.
Sea Shepherd has been leading opposition to the grindadráp since the 1980s. Operation Sleppid Grindini is the organization’s sixth pilot whale defense campaign in the Faroe Islands.

This was taken right after returning home from my 6th surgery in a period of less than two years and I was receiving the best possible home-based health care. I am so hopeful that this was the last time I see an operating room for many years to come.
During the hours in the old brewery I only spotted three bottles with the original labels (there were literally thousands of labels but no bottles).

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to
Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of
31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the
Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force. A week after
enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed
to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless
stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured
in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s
history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney
and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked
in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together
for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to
the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again
on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF
after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking
images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow
servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to
record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made
several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his
images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places
where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which
he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia
in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory
manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in
Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children:
Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill). The wider collection of glass plate
negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

The Beauchamp Chapel is justly famous or it's architecture, monuments and the superb 15th century stained glass in i's east window, but perhaps my favourite element is the exquisite array of miraculously preserved medieval sculpture that surrounds the window and also runs down the two larger mullions.
The majority of the figues are angels, many in the act of worship, adoring the seated figure of the Lord which crowns the whole composition at the apex of the arch. The angels vary in costume and attributes and represent the 'Nine Orders of Angels', a popular theme in medieval art. Four larger figures of female saints (Barbara & Catherine on the left, Mary Magdalene and Margaret to the right) flank the lower part of the window.
Figure sculpture of his date so rarely survives, making it all the more incredible that so much of it has come down to us here, especially given that Cromwell's troops attacked the chapel's glass and the reredos immediately below this gorgeous display. Just an individual one of these sculptures would be the envy o any other parish church.
The sculpture would have been intended to extend the iconography represented in the glass of the window itself, and we are also lucky that much of this survives, though much is no longer in situ.
Bishop Olmsted ordains diocese’s newest priest
By Ambria Hammel | June 2, 2012 | The Catholic Sun
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained Dan Vanyo to the priesthood June 2 at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral.
He joins 254 diocesan and religious priests who serve the Phoenix Diocese by offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, conferring the sacraments and overseeing aspects of parish life. Many of them were on hand to offer congratulations to their newest brother.
That included a handful of local priests and some from St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver who played key roles in Fr. Vanyo’s discernment. Fr. Vanyo, 43, began discerning his call to the priesthood at age 32 when a friend through a local Catholic singles group was discerning religious life.
“I never discerned anything,” Fr. Vanyo said. He researched some religious orders, but it wasn’t until a day for prospective diocesan seminarians that he reached a peaceful conclusion.
“They need help here,” Fr. Vanyo, then a hospice nurse, recalled thinking. “That’s when I gave the Lord my fiat. If you open the door, I’ll walk through it.”
He ran into Fr. Chauncey Winkler, who he knew from the local Catholic Retreat for Young Singles group and told him, “I think this is where I could be of some help.”
He entered the seminary in 2005 and was among a reported 487 ordinands nationally who will join the ranks of priesthood this year. Bishop Olmsted read from the Ordination Rite during Mass.
He reminded the crowd, including family and friends who filled the first row on both sides, that Jesus chose certain disciples to carry out publicly in His name, a priestly office. He reminded the diocese’s newest priest of his roles of Christ the teacher, priest and shepherd.
“Carry out the ministry of Christ the priest with constant joy and love,” the bishop said. He also challenged Fr. Vanyo to bring the people together in one family. That’s a challenge the priest plans to meet in his new home, Queen of Peace Parish in Mesa. He will serve as parochial vicar starting July 1.
“I am most excited that I will be able to hear people’s confessions. When the Holy Spirit touches the hearts of the penitents with His grace in the confessional, I will be blessed to be a witness to it,” Fr. Vanyo said.
In addition to a parish presence, Fr. Vanyo will serve as chaplain at Seton Catholic Preparatory High School in Chandler. Fr. Vanyo will offer his first liturgy, a Mass of Thanksgiving, at his home parish Holy Cross in Mesa, at 10 a.m. June 3.
