I finally did what I've been meaning to do for at least six years. I bought new matched locks for my luggage boxes!
In fact, I'd only ever been able to use two of the three boxes. The first and second boxes I bought were the Givi E36 and E45; they came from eBay at different times, and so had different locks. Later on I bought the older E38 case that had lost its keys but was unlocked. In my photo, the huge E45 is on the left, the E36 on the right and the E38 sits on top.
After I managed to break the E45's lock mechanism, I repaired it with parts from the E38. For the most part, I just use the single E45 as a top box: it does for shopping and commuting, but having all three boxes was my planned set up for touring in Europe and visiting my friend in Zagreb. Then, more recently, the key for the E36 box disappeared, leaving me stuck with just my E45!
So I bought a new latch and a set of matched locks, and now I'm all sorted. For the finishing touch, I added some 50mm reflective tape to the box ends for visibility at night and for marking the extremities.
With all three boxes in action, I can carry stuff once again. I started with six boxes' (and two trips) worth of books. I think I might have bent my Givi pannier frames a little bit! ā they don't have the horizontal connecting bar behind the number plate that Touratech frames have.

We returned from the Outer Banks yesterday and already I miss it.
I have a question for you.
What would you like to see here? When I first discovered Flickr, I used it to share photos with my family and friends. Then I got into KAP and this was the perfect place to meet others with the same interest. Likewise, I started doing self portraits, made more friends and had more material to post.
Recently, though, I haven't been doing much KAP and I couldn't keep up the portrait-a-day pace. For the past 6 months I've been virtually absent from Flickr. Many of the friends I've made along the way are seldom here anymore, either.
There's another problem, too. I also have Facebook and Smugmug as places to post images. Facebook is where I put pictures of other people who may want to be tagged. Smugmug is where I post images when I hope to sell prints. (Which isn't working out, by the way.)
So I'm wondering, who is still visiting my photostream on Flickr? And what is it you like about my photos? I'd like to get more active again here and it would help to know what interests all of you.
Please respond on the spikey ball photo. For those of you without Flickr accounts, you can email me at dwheeler20874@gmail.com
Thanks.
The situation of Turks in Germany is not an easy one. - There are several neighbourhoods in Berlin, where so many Turks live and where the inner and outer conditions often are far from being ideal, so that they get called "Turk Ghettos". It's not only the children that get between the lines of at least two very different cultures. They are those that have to learn much later how difficult it can be to live in a country of people that dissociated from 'their' own people, just like the other way around.
The difficulties they are facing are very complex and they already start in the families. How the children are being brought up and how the parents respond to issues of their children. In a meetup of parents a turkish psychologist brings their own responsibility up:
'how important it is to talk with the children, to understand them, to take time, to make learning interesting for them and not to constantly rail against teachers, judges or the system... Often respect of the father gets abused as threat. Violence in the family sometimes is being equated with care - as proof that one worries about the other and that one's actions aren't indifferent to them...'

The jungles seem to know. A large expedition can expect fallen trees, sudden sink holes, dense foliage - all over the same route a solitary Pioneer passed easily a day earlier. For a Pioneer, traveling alone or with an apprentice, the jungles of Lysandria present different mysteries. One of the first signs are simple things such as distant rocks being carved blocks when one approaches. It wasn't like this before.. and yet... here it is, solid and unyielding.
The number 11 is Europe's longest circular bus route. The route was first operated as a complete circuit in 1926, as a link between the suburbs of Birmingham. In 2011 the bus route celebrated 85 years of service. The full circuit is 26 miles and takes two to three hours to complete, depending on traffic.

There have been Pioneers who have traveled for days, only to return to an Aerie with nothing to report than the dense foliage and the small mundane creatures typical to the region. For those who make discoveries, who can wander along the traces of change the jungle throws at them, there is always, in the back of their minds, the knowledge that if they go to far they will be unable to return.
Disney had grandiose dreams of filling World Showcase with a multitude of nations. There were even plans for an outer ring of countries if ever the promenade filled to capacity. But alas, this didnāt come to pass. Epcot opened with nine countries and was later joined by Norway and Morocco. But other nations were well along in the planning stages before they were eventually scrapped for various reasons. Some of these included Israel, Spain, and Equatorial Africa. In fact, Equatorial Africa was so far along in planning that it was actually included as a āfuture projectā on the opening day Epcot map. And during the Disney TV special āEPCOT Center: The Grand Opening Celebrationā which aired on October 23, 1982, host Danny Kaye interviewed āRootsā author and Project Adviser Alex Haley about this soon to be added pavilion.
The continent of Africa is made up of many poor nations. And building a pavilion at Epcot is an expensive proposition. So Disney proposed a pavilion that included a collection of African countries, rather than just one. This multi-nation concept would help distribute the costs among several countries. After much searching and many negotiations, Letters of Intent were signed by Kenya, Senegal, and Ivory Coast.
Equatorial Africa was going to be an exciting pavilion and plans for a number of attractions were on the drawing board. The first of two films, āAfrica Rediscovered,ā would be narrated by Alex Haley and would present the abundant wild life of the area, the history of this region, and discuss modern-day Africa. The second film, āHeartbeat of Africa,ā would focus on African music and conclude with a laser show synchronized to the sounds of native instruments.
Another exhibit would feature a large tree house. From its heights, guests would look down on a jungle watering hole bathed in perpetual moonlight. A diorama of trees, boulders, rushing waters, and actual scents of nature would highlight a rear-projection movie of animals advancing to drink in the night.
And of course, no World Showcase pavilion would be complete without live entertainment. So a small amphitheater was to be carved into Disney ārocksā to showcase African dance and music.
The African Pavilion was schedule to open sometime in 1983, but as negotiations continued to drag on, it was decided to build a temporary African placeholder where guests could grab a snack and pick up a souvenir. This was done for two reasons. First, this would pacify guests who had heard about the future Equatorial Africa Pavilion on TV and seen it on Epcot maps. But also, the area between China and Germany is large. Something of interest was needed along this route to help give World Showcase a more completed look.
Unfortunately, the Equatorial Africa Pavilion never came to pass for a number of reasons. First, the political unrest of the region made it difficult to carry on negotiations with the various nations and their less than stable governments. Not to mention, these nations were already squabbling amongst themselves for top billing at the pavilion. Then there was the problem of money. Most African countries simply couldnāt afford or justify spending the amounts needed to build a World Showcase pavilion. However, Disney was able to find one sponsor, a company located in South Africa. But apartheid was a major issue in the 1980ās and Disney thought better of associating itself with this political bombshell. Eventually, the project was shelved. And with the opening of Harambe at Disney's Animal Kingdom, any thoughts of a future African pavilion along the World Showcase promenade probably died as well.
Officially, the African themed area located between China and Germany is known as the Outpost, although many call it African Outpost or Refreshment Outpost. Since the Outpost was constructed as a temporary placeholder, there is precious little information about this area of World Showcase available in books and on the internet. So in order to present you with a backstory, I tried to deduce what the Imagineers were thinking when creating this mini-pavilion by examining the details. Hereās what I came up with.
The Outpost is a small trading center located along a rural roadway somewhere in West Africa. Local merchants bring their wares to the stalls each morning and supply travelers with the necessities of their journey. Part of this story can be seen in the signpost that points the directions to various far-a-way locales ā very far-a-way indeed.
