Odering food in Chinatown's market, Singapore. It's been a long time since I last spoke any Chinese in real person - just barely enough to order.
The lady in the picture is very nice, and beautiful too, I guess.
You don't have to go home - but you can't stay here.
If you are still in a pub as it nears closing time, you might hear the staff shout “last orders”, ring a bell behind the bar or flash the lights in the pub. This means you have around 15 minutes to buy any final drinks for the evening before the bar (and soon after, the pub) closes.
Until 2005, British on-license hours were restricted to morning/afternoon (10:30 or 11:00 AM to 2:30 or 3:00 PM) and evening sessions (5:00 PM to 10:30 or 11:00 PM). These hours were different on a Sunday. Such restrictions were introduced “temporarily” during World War I and never rescinded.
British pubs, clubs, and bars are now permitted to serve liquor
24 hours a day, although relatively few actually do. Many town houses trade from 10 AM until midnight, and clubs, which open early in the evening, might stay open until the small hours. Only a few places are open all night.

I had forgotten that i promised the Schlager's that i would give them the pictures i took of Erika at the final tournament of the season. In fact, i just received a couple orders from Norlanco parents-that was the only thing that reminded me of this. I thought i put these images behind me, but i guess i still have to edit a few of them before i put them in one of the archive hard drives (or in other words, the pit that never sees light of day)
“Commander K'hall, are you absolutely certain the portal is no longer functional?” Chairman Sythis demanded.
“Absolutely certain,” K’hall replied. “The portal has solidified. We believe its power source was the Horocyclians themselves. Once they were destroyed, it finally failed. I am certain that explosion you witnessed has severely damaged the temple, probably collapsing part of the passage. We will need a crew with heavy excavation bots just to see if the portal is still there.”
“This is unacceptable. Gather your people and return to Axiom10 at once.” The comm cut out.
“Avhol,” K’hall said, jaw tight, “alert Ramva2, 8, and 9 of our orders.”
“That’s it?” Kayla cried. “We’re leaving without Adrienne?”
K’hall turned to her, voice stern but heavy. “What would you have me do? This strikes me deeply. I have never lost anyone under my command. We cannot reach her from here.”
He faced the screen again, anger simmering as hybrid soldiers swarmed the temple ruins.
“Bext—charge weapons.
Avhol, instruct Ramva2, 8, and 9 to charge weapons as well. Tell them to target the hybrids and the installation below in the canyon. Fire on my command.”
Avhol’s hands flew over the controls. Moments later, “Ramva 2, 8, and 9 report weapons charged and they are in position.”
K’hall took the comm, watching the frantic activity as the helicopters again maneuvered close to the ledge outside what had been the temple entrance.
Then— he spoke into the comm, “Fire! The added, “Burn it all. Leave nothing!”
Four beams of energy lanced downward from the orbs. The ground operation vanished first, then the beams swept the ridge, and the cliff face the ridge. When it was finished, no trace remained.
K’hall watched the devastation, his voice a low growl. “I thought we were done with these vile creatures when the eggs were destroyed. Yet here we are again.”
He turned away from the screen. “Bext—contact the other ships and take us to Axiom10.”

Clonmacnoise is a ruined monastery situated in County Offaly in Ireland on the River Shannon south of Athlone, founded in 544 by Saint Ciarán, a young man from Rathcroghan, County Roscommon. Until the 9th century it had close associations with the kings of Connacht.
Saint Ciarán founded the monastery in the ancient territory of Uí Maine at a point where the major east–west land route meets the River Shannon after crossing the bogs of Central Ireland known as the Esker Riada. The strategic location of the monastery helped it become a major center of religion, learning, craftsmanship and trade by the 9th century; and together with Clonard it was one of the most famous places in Ireland, visited by scholars from all over Europe. From the ninth until the eleventh century it was allied with the kings of Meath. Many of the high kings of Tara (ardrí) and of Connacht were buried here.
Clonmacnoise was largely abandoned by the end of the 13th century. Today the site includes nine ruined churches, a castle, two round towers and a large number of carved stone crosses and cross-slabs. The Irish government's Office of Public Works manages the preserved ruin. An Interpretive Centre is open to the public, the graveyard is in use and religious services take place in a modern chapel.
In 544 Saint Ciarán, a young man from Rathcroghan, County Roscommon, arrived at this location with seven companions. (Saint Ciarán is not to be confused or conflated with St. Ciarán of Saigir, patron of Osraige). Here he met Diarmait mac Cerbaill, who later became the first Christian crowned High King of Ireland. Together they built the first church at the site. This was a small wooden structure and the first of many small churches to be clustered on the site. In September 549, not yet thirty-three years of age, Ciarán died of a plague, and was reportedly buried under the original wooden church, now the site of the 9th-century stone oratory, Temple Ciarán. This location was particularly important because here the major east–west land route through the bogs of central Ireland along the Eiscir Riada (an esker left by the receding glaciers of the last ice age) crossed the River Shannon.
According to Adomnán of Iona, who referenced the testimony of earlier abbots of Iona who had known Columba, St Columba visited the monastery at Clonmacnoise during the time when he was founding the monastery at Durrow. While he was there he prophesied about the future debates in the churches of Ireland about the dating of Easter and claimed that angels had visited the monastery at Clonmacnoise. While he was there, a young monk named Ernéne mac Craséni (who would later be famous in Ireland) tried to touch Columba's clothes while Columba was not looking. However, the saint immediately noticed and grabbed the boy by the neck, told him to open his mouth, and then blessed him, saying that he would teach the doctrine of salvation.
Towards the close of the seventh century a plague carried off a large number of its students and professors. Clonmacnoise's period of greatest growth came between the 8th and 12th centuries. It was attacked frequently during these four centuries, most often by the Irish, the Vikings and the Normans. The early wooden buildings began to be replaced by more durable stone structures in the 9th century, and the original population of fewer than ten men grew to perhaps 1,500 to 2,000 by the 11th century. Although the site was based around a core of churches, crosses, graves and ecclesiastical dwellings and workshops, it would have been surrounded by the houses and streets of a larger secular community, the metalworkers, craftsmen and farmers who supported the monastic clergy and their students. Artisans associated with the site created some of the most beautiful and enduring artworks in metal and stone ever seen in Ireland, with the Clonmacnoise Crozier (on display in the National Museum of Ireland) and the Cross of the Scriptures representing the apex of their efforts. The Book of the Dun Cow, a vellum manuscript dating to the 12th century, was written here and its main compiler, Máel Muire mac Céilechair meic Cuinn na mBocht was reputedly murdered in a Viking raid in 1106.
By the 12th century Clonmacnoise began to decline. The reasons were varied, although attacks by the Vikings (under Turgesius) and the Normans contributed. Without doubt the most debilitating factor was the growth of the town of Athlone to the north of the site from the late-12th century.[citation needed] Athlone became the main trading town for the midlands of Ireland, and the most popular route for crossing the Shannon, as well as the best-defended settlement in the region. People migrated north from Clonmacnoise to Athlone, and along with the population decrease went much of the support that the site needed to survive, and former allies began to recognise the decline in the site's influence. The influx of continental religious orders such as the Cistercians, Franciscans, Augustinians, Benedictines, Cluniacs, etc. around the same time fed into this decline as numerous competing sites began to crop up. Ireland's move from a monastic framework to a diocesan one in the twelfth century similarly diminished the site's religious standing, as it was designated the seat of a small and impoverished diocese.
In 1552 the English garrison at Athlone destroyed and looted Clonmacnoise for the final time, leaving it in ruins.
The monastery ruins were one of the stops on the itinerary of Pope John Paul II during his visit to Ireland in 1979.

The Baroque-style palace set amidst a picturesque forested park was completed in 1725 on the orders of the Russian Emperor Peter I for Catherine I, his wife and future Empress; however, she never stayed there. At this time the palace functions as an art museum.
Дворец в стиле барокко расположен посреди живописного лесного парка. Он был построен в 1725 г. по указу императора Петра I для своей супруги и будущей императрицы Екатерины I, но она никогда в нём не жила. В наши дни во дворце располагается музей искусства.

enjoy!
I cannot begin to imagine, taking orders to climb those masts to man the sails or take a place in one of the look-out spots.
Rope ladders go right to the very top. The crow's nest lookouts are at varying heights.
It was an amazing experience to view and witness this absolutely gorgeous sailing vessel, that was moored this weekend at the Burrard Dock Pier, North Vancouver, BC Canada
It is my absolute pleasure to be able to feature this incredible Tall Ship from various angles, and under the changing evening light.
I was in my glory having the opportunity to photograph this fabulous vessel.
I hope you enjoy viewing this ship as much as I enjoyed capturing it.
I even had the honour and privilege to tour onboard this Navy Ship. :)
Please stay tuned for many images to follow.
The B.A.P. Unión, a Peruvian ship, arrived To Vancouver, BC Canada, Thursday to commemorate 75 years of diplomatic relations between Canada and Peru.
The tall ship — a traditional sailing vessel — serves as a training ship for Peruvian naval cadets. That country's government says it is the second largest training ship in the world.
The ship has 34 sails, and has a total sail area of more than 3,400 square metres. It houses 243 crew members.
BAP Unión is a training ship of the Peruvian Navy, built between 2012–2015 by Shipyard Marine Industrial Services of Peru, known as SIMA. It is a four-masted, steel-hulled, class "A" barque, composed of 38 steel modules. It has a total length (including bowsprit) of 115.50 m (378 ft 11 in);a beam of 13.50 m (44 ft 3 in); a draft of 6.50 m (21 ft 4 in); an air draft of 53.50 m (175 ft 6 in); a displacement of 3,200 metric tonnes; a speed of 12 knots (22 km/h) and a crew of 250 officers and trainees. The ship's name honors a Peruvian corvette that took part in the first stage of the 1879–1883 War of the Pacific as part of a naval squadron under the command of Miguel Grau, a hero of the Peruvian Navy.
Like other similar ships, Unión has been conceived not only for training purposes, but also to be a sailing ambassador for its home country. Due to its features and dimensions, it has been considered (as of the date it was commissioned) the largest sail vessel in Latin America. Wikipedia
Additional info.
For a long time, the Peruvian Navy desired a training ship for instruction of its cadets. Accordingly, the Peruvian government enacted 1985 Law N° 24094, which declared as a public necessity the navy having this kind of ship. However, due to the economic crisis of debt and hyper-inflation Peru suffered at the end of the 1980s, and later for public spending restraints, the project was postponed.
Eventually, in 2010 the project was approved and the construction was authorized. In 2012 the Peruvian government announced its decision to order the ship's construction to the Shipyard Marine Industrial Services of Peru, known as SIMA; in cooperation with the Government of Spain, through the contractors Cypsa Ingenieros Navales and Navantia, which were responsible for the ship´s structural design. The governmente named the ship as Union to honors a Peruvian corvette that took part in the first stage of the 1879–1883 War of the Pacific as part of a naval squadron under the command of Miguel Grau, a hero of the Peruvian Navy. On December 8, 2012 Unión's construction began with a keel laying ceremony in the presence of Peruvian president Ollanta Humala. The hull was finished two years later and the ship was launched on December 22, 2014.
In June 2015, the ship received its masts and propeller; and the interior fitout began in charge of contractors Acopafi and MO Contract. Also, according to an agreement between SIMA and Navantia, the ship was provided with an "Integrated Control System Platform, Navigation and Communications".
While the ship was under construction, the Peruvian government arranged training for the future Unión's crew with the help of an instructor from the Spanish Navy and by sending personnel to serve on training ships of other countries, such as the Mexican sailing ship ARM Cuauhtémoc. Also, a Peruvian delegation was sent to take part in maintenance and repair works on Colombian sailing ship ARC Gloria. Wikipedia

Head end brakeman Jessie Vega grabs the orders, and a bag of food apparently, from Leroy station agent Burt Howe as Chessie train RS-97 heads South in Leroy, NY on May 20, 1980. The RS-97 met SR-94 at Gainesville, NY, a common occurrence at the time. After the meet the SR-94 derailed some cars, including the caboose, at the rear of the train as it was descending the hill at Church St. in Silver Springs.

My time here in Bangkok has almost come to a close and it was my last day at work today. Flying out on Sunday for a new life in Budapest. Mixed emotions.
Durand, Michigan April 26, 1973, the Durand to Detroit Grand Trunk Western turn is returning lead by SD40 5902 complete with miss matched number boards. The operator still was in the depot and the train order signals for the mainline are out of the picture to the right. The crossing is still protected by the swinging gates on the right and the shanty for the gate keeper is on the left. The old metal drain for the now removed steam era water plug stand pipe remains between the two tracks. Childhood friend Bruce is yelling to the crew to throw off old train orders, sadly he would pass away - way too young just a couple years later.

It was built under the orders of Mumadona Dias in the 10th century to defend the monastery from attacks by Moors and Norsemen. The castle is a military fortification grounded primarily in the late Romanesque period, and elaborated during the early Gothic epoch of Portuguese architecture. Its area is delineated by walls forming a pentagram, similar to a shield, that includes eight rectangular towers, military square and central keep. Originating in the foundations of a Roman structure, from the writings of Alfredo Guimarães, it was later elaborated on the French model, in its current the form of a shield, with reduced central yard and difficult accesses. It includes several Gothic characteristics, owing to its remodelling at the end of the 13th century, when the keep and residences were constructed (possibly over pre-existing structures).
