My landlord of over twenty years is calling it a day so I had to take a photo of the last pint he pulled for me. Thank you, good sir. Enjoy your well-earned retirement.
ST43-380 awaits orders at Zagórz railway station. The area south-east to where the town is located (Bieszczady mountains) is known as one of the wildest and least influenced by mankind in Poland.
The station located on the historical trace of the Galician Transversal Railway is the starting point of the railway line no. 107 to Łupków (further to Medzilaborce and Humenné in Slovakia), and home to a small depot - nowadays owned and used by SKPL.
At the time, the earlier mentioned line 107 was used as a bypass route for container and empty trains headed to (and from) Slovakia, due to construction works on the main railway line between Nowy Sącz, Muszyna and Plaveč. It was the last time to shine, as nowadays there aren't any freight trains, which pass this station.

At the start of the RemedyUK march to protest against the problems in the NHS, following the introduction of MTAS (the Medical Training Application Service) - a system to allow junior doctors to apply for postgraduate training. The Government's implementation has been hurried, and created problems that may leave as many as 8,000 doctors unemployed from August this year.
I went on the march to support my girlfriend's flatmate, Carla, and her friend Sue.

Irlanda - Limerick - Castillo del Rey Juan y Río Shannon
ENGLISH:
King John's Castle is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon. Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John in 1200. One of the best preserved Norman castles in Europe, the walls, towers and fortifications remain today and are visitor attractions. The remains of a Viking settlement were uncovered during archaeological excavations at the site in 1900.
The Viking sea-king, Thormodr Helgason, built the first permanent Viking stronghold on Inis Sibhtonn (King's Island) in 922. He used the base to raid the length of the River Shannon from Lough Derg to Lough Ree, pillaging ecclesiastical settlements. In 937 the Limerick Vikings clashed with those of Dublin on Lough Ree and were defeated. In 943 they were defeated again when the chief of the local Dalcassian clan joined with Ceallachán, king of Munster and the Limerick Vikings were forced to pay tribute to the clans. The power of the Vikings never recovered, and they were reduced to the level of a minor clan, however often playing pivotal parts in the endless power struggles of the next few centuries.
The arrival of the Anglo-Normans to the area in 1172 changed everything. Domhnall Mór Ó Briain burned the city to the ground in 1174 in a bid to keep it from the hands of the new invaders. After he died in 1194, the Anglo-Normans finally captured the area in 1195 under John, Lord of Ireland. In 1197, Limerick was given its first charter and its first Mayor, Adam Sarvant. A castle, built on the orders of King John and bearing his name, was completed around 1210. The castle was built on the boundary of the River Shannon in order to protect the city from the Gaelic kingdoms to the west and from any rebellion by Norman lords to the east and south. Under the general peace imposed by the Norman rule, Limerick prospered as both a port and a trading centre, partly due to the castle acting as a watchdog on any cargo passing through the port of Limerick. By this time the city was divided into an area became known as "English Town" on King's Island, while another settlement, named "Irish Town" had grown on the south bank of the river. The town of Limerick became so wealthy during this era King John set up a mint in the North West corner of the castle, with pennies and half pennies from this time available to see in Limerick museum today.
A 1574 document prepared for the Spanish ambassador attests to its wealth: "Limerick is stronger and more beautiful than all the other cities of Ireland, well walled with stout walls of hewn marble... There is no entrance except by stone bridges, one of the two of which has 14 arches, and the other 8 ... for the most part the houses are of square stone of black marble and built in the form of towers and fortresses".
Luke Gernon, an English-born judge and resident of Limerick, wrote an equally flattering account of the city in 1620: "a lofty building of marble; in the high street it is built from one gate to the other in one form, like the colleges in Oxford, so magnificent that at my first entrance it did amaze me".
The walls of the castle were severely damaged in the 1642 Siege of Limerick, the first of five sieges of the city in the 17th century. In 1642, the castle was occupied by Protestants fleeing the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and was besieged by an Irish Confederate force under Garret Barry. Barry had no siege artillery so he undermined the walls of King John's Castle by digging away their foundations. Those inside surrendered just before Barry collapsed the walls. However, such was the damage done to the wall's foundations that a section of them had to be pulled down afterward.
Between 2011 and 2013, the castle underwent a massive redevelopment, with €5.7 million spent to improve the visitor facilities of the castle. Among the improvements were a brand new visitor centre, interactive exhibitions with computer generated animations, and a cafe with views onto the courtyard and the river.

ESPAÑOL:
El castillo del Rey Juan (en inglés, King John's Castle) es un castillo situado en Limerick, Irlanda, concretamente en la zona de la ciudad conocida como "Isla del Rey" (King's Island), junto al río Shannon. Del castillo se conservan principalmente los muros exteriores y las torres fortificadas, que han sido adaptadas como atracción turística. Durante el proceso de construcción de centro de visitantes se descubrió un asentamiento vikingo en lo que ahora es el patio del castillo.
El Castillo del Rey Juan tiene cinco fachadas, con altas murallas que rodean un patio rectangular. La parte inferior de las murallas estaba curvada hacia el exterior, con el fin de desviar proyectiles arrojados desde las almenas. Dos grandes torres rodean el portón principal, y otras dos se elevan en las esquinas que miran al río Shannon. Estas torres sobresalían del edificio para permitir mejores ángulos de tiro a los arqueros. En sus primeros años, el castillo estaba rodeado por un foso, con un puente levadizo que comunicaba con otro portón mayor.
El primer bastión estable en la "Isla del Rey" se debe al rey vikingo Thormodr Helgason, quien construyó aquí una base en 922 para poder dominar toda la extensión del río Shannon desde Lough Derg hasta Lough Ree, atacando asentamientos religiosos. En 937, los vikingos establecidos en Limerick se enfrentaron a los de Dublín en Lough Ree, y fueron derrotados por estos. En 943 volvieron a ser derrotados cuando el jefe del clan local se unió con Ceallachan, rey de Munster, y los vikingos de Limerick fueron obligados a pagar tributos. El poder de los vikingos nunca se recuperó, y fueron reducidos a un clan menor, pese a lo cual tuvieron un papel importante en algunas de las interminables luchas de poder que sacudieron Irlanda durante los siglos posteriores.
La llegada de los Normandos a la zona en 1172 cambió completamente la situación. Domhnall Mor O'Brien detruyó la ciudad totalmente en 1174, en un intento de evitar que cayera en manos de los nuevos invasores. Los normandos finalmente capturaron esta área bajo Juan I de Inglaterra, Señor de Irlanda. En 1197, según se cree, Limerick recibió sus primeros fueros y su primer alcalde, Adam Sarvant. En esta época se comenzó, además, la construcción de un castillo bajo las órdenes del Rey Juan, que se completó alrededor del 1200.
Durante este periodo de paz impuesto por el dominio normando, Limerick prosperó como puerto y como centro comercial. La ciudad había quedado dividida en dos zonas: la que se conocía como la "ciudad inglesa" (English Town), en la "Isla del Rey" (King's Island), y la "ciudad irlandesa" (Irish Town), en la orilla sur del río. El castillo tenía en esta época una función más administrativa que militar, incluyendo la acuñación de moneda.
El castillo, en especial sus muros exteriores, se vio severamente dañado durante el Sitio de Limerick que tuvo lugar en 1642, y que sólo fue el primero de los cinco sitios que sufrió la ciudad en el siglo XVII. En 1642, el castillo fue ocupado por protestantes que huían de la Rebelión irlandesa de 1641, y fue rodeado por una fuerza confederada irlandesa comandada por Garret Barry. Dado que Barry no tenía artillería pesada, decidió minar las murallas del castillo excavando bajo sus cimientos. Los ocupantes del castillo se rindieron cuando Barry estaba a punto de lograr el derrumbe de los muros. De hecho, los daños producidos en sus cimientos fueron tan graves que una parte de la muralla exterior debió ser derribada posteriormente.
El castillo vivió su último sitio en 1691, durante la guerra entre Jacobitas y Guillermistas (partidarios de Guillermo III de Inglaterra), que terminó con la firma del Tratado de Limerick. Entre 1791 y 1922, el castillo albergó un barracón militar en el que vivían más de cuatrocientos soldados del Ejército Británico. En épocas posteriores, debido a la escasez de vivienda en Limerick, se construyeron casas en el interior, que fueron posteriormente eliminadas.
En la actualidad, el castillo ha sido habilitado como atractivo turístico, con un centro para visitantes donde se ofrecen dramatizaciones y exposiciones sobre la historia del castillo.

All the Blythey button pre-orders were sent out today. :) The ones in the shop are now officially not pre-orders.
Yeah.
Minutes after the engineer on this coal train snagged the orders he radioed JB Tower to ask why he got a wheel report for the Long West.
Early dawn mist in the Manifold valley with the hills of Wetton and Ecton beyond. A day that started with frost and ended with sunburn; a good welcome back from the Peak District
the focus was too great here to NOT not show you guys! :)
i've been spending most of my time in the art room these few days. Arts fest is coming and holy lordy i'm sooo excited for it! We're starting to really get things rolling in terms of design, planning, orders and setups. It's getting hectic and the feeling is GREAT :D

away to brock uni this weekend for a meet, i'll try to upload and catch up tmr!
..and orders a beer.
As the bartender serves him, he looks at the horse and says "hey, why the long face, pal? Are you depressed?"
The horse ponders for a second, scratches his chin, and says "I don't think I am" and promptly disappears.
This is a joke about Rene Descartes' famous statement, "I think, therefore I am." I could have mentioned this at the start of the joke, but that would be putting Descartes before the horse.
Some time later…
Admiral Bryce: Cpt. Bannon, your taste for vintage does not disappoint. As per your request, these three veteran death troopers have been assigned to your squad, as well as Lt. Markland.
Lt. Markland: Wh… Yes ma’am.
Admiral Bryce: You have also requested two additional unspecified members ‘to be determined’. I trust you will add these to your squad later...
Your previous orders were to assist us in the Uquine occupation, however I have received a distress signal from Denneskar. We could only recover part of the distress signal, but is seems your former squad has been attacked.
Your new orders are to take your squad to Denneskar and get the occupation under control. By any means necessary.
Cpt. Bannon: Understood Ma’am.
Cotton Belt #7270 was part of an order of 26 GP40-2s put into service in 1984. 7270 is also reportedly one of the two GP40-2s that took the first Sprint train north from East St. Louis to Chicago in 1989 after SP purchased the old Chicago & Alton from the bankrupt Chicago, Missouri & Western. However, on this day in October 1988, 7270 is busy bringing a grain train into Hearne, TX, crossing the former MoPac Austin Subdivision in the process, and the engineer is demonstrating some fine "eyes-closed" technique for grabbing orders on the fly.

The station sign had fallen off the side of the building so I moved it so that it would show in the photo.
Kenchō-ji (建長寺) is a Rinzai Zen temple in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, which ranks first among Kamakura's so-called Five Great Zen Temples (the Kamakura Gozan) and is the oldest Zen training monastery in Japan. These temples were at the top of the Five Mountain System, a network of Zen temples started by the Hōjō Regents. Still very large, it originally had a full shichidō garan and 49 subtemples.
The temple was constructed on the orders of Emperor Go-Fukakusa and completed in 1253, fifth year of the Kenchō era, from which it takes its name. It was founded by Rankei Doryū, a Chinese Zen master who moved to Japan in 1246, spending some years in Kyushu and Kyoto before coming to Kamakura.

NYSW's SU-99 climbs through Newfoundland, NJ, behind three units. Though the train order signal still stands, I'll wager its been at least sixty years since orders were hooped up to a train here.

The seat of the ancient bishopric of Dol, the Saint-Samson cathedral dates to the 13th century and is primarily Gothic in style with both Norman and English influences. It was built on the site of an old church where Nominoë was crowned as the first king of Brittany in 850. This old church was replaced by a Romanesque style cathedral which was in turn destroyed in 1203 by the soldiers of Jean sans Terre and little is left of that building today. From Saint Samson in the 6th century to Monseigneur de Hercé, shot at Vannes in 1795, more than 80 bishops have occupied the bishopric of Dol. Since 1880 the Archbishop of Rennes is the Archbishop of Rennes, Dol and Saint-Malo. The cathedral has retained little of the old furnishings as in 1742 the cathedral chapter decided to get rid of all the old bishop's tombs and relaid the choir paving and in 1793 the rood screen which had separated the choir from the nave was demolished and was replaced by an iron grill on the orders of the zealots of the revolution.
