I’m uploading this photo to add to a new group, my Flickr friend Michael (richbriggs28) started for people with injuries as he’s also in plaster, he started it just for a laugh, to try and cheer ourselves up as it’s not nice being stuck in plaster and not be able to get out and about to take photos. I’m not able to use crutches either as I’m just recovering from a shoulder operation, so mega bad timing. I’m doing the bum shuffle a lot, and the hospital have lent me a zimmerframe, but I’m not very good at hopping, so staying in bed mostly.
I broke my left leg on Saturday 17th August 2013, firstly we all thought I’d just sprained it as I didn’t fall or stumble, I was just walking to the bar at a beer and cider festival in the New Forest after sampling a few of their delicious pear cider.
On Monday (19th) it was still so swollen so my lovely friend Lisa took me to A&E to have it x-rayed and unfortunately it is broken, so I’m in plaster for at least 6 weeks, maybe longer.
If you have any suggestions to stop me sitting here feeling sorry for myself please let me know.
And if you have any injuries please photograph them and join our group.

In the 12th century the local voivode endowed the Church of St. Cross here. At the end of the 12th century another church, the Rotunda of St. Prokop, was built.
Premonstratensian nuns had a monastery here from 1148 to 1838. The Holy Trinity Church, consecrated in 1216, was also built during this period.
Strzelno fell to Prussia in 1772. After the end of the First World War Strzelno was ceded to the Second Polish Republic. In 1939 the region was occupied by the German Wehrmacht; subsequently Strelno was reincorporated into the German Reich. In the spring of 1945 it rejoined Poland.

Today's parish church is the former monastery church of the Premonstratensian nuns. It was consecrated in 1216. It is a three-nave basilica with transept, large choir loft and apse. On the eastern side, the church was originally equipped with two round towers. The central nave is covered by a star vault, while the side aisles are covered by ribbed vaults.
In the 18th century the church was rebuilt. It was given a new facade and baroque furnishings. The original appearance was thus rendered unrecognizable. It was even forgotten.
During the renovation of the church in 1946, six Romanesque columns were freed from a thick layer of plaster. Two of the column shafts are richly decorated with figural bas-reliefs. Their origin is dated to the second half of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century.
Such complex columns are rare and unusual. I have seen similar columns in Santiago and Venice.

Calcium sulfide phosphors made using Plaster of Paris and sugar. 15 mL of Plaster of Paris was hydrated with about 1 mL of sugar dissolved into 7.5mL of water along with a small amount of an activator (cupric chloride on the left, manganese sulfate on the right). After the plaster had set it was heated until yellow orange incandescensce using a MAPP gas torch. The top layer was then scraped away to reveal the interiors of the samples.
Heating the calcium sulfate in the Plaster of Paris along with sugar (carbon) reduced the sulfate to sulfide.

Woodland Scenic's plaster cloth comes in rolls 8 inches (20 cm) wide. I use ordinary scissors to cut the plaster cloth on my craft cutting board into manageable pieces. In this photo you can see some plaster cloth draped across a mall section of Woodland Scenic's SubTerrain Risers that I use for sub roadbed for my railway track, highways, and city streets.
The plaster cloth is briefly dipped in cold water for a few seconds and placed over Risers, Inclines, and various forms I use to create city blocks, hills, fields, creeks, etc. The wet plaster cloth is laid in overlapping strips that dries in a few hours to form a strong, fairly smooth shell that I paint with ordinary interior latex paint in earth colors and add earth or grass ground foam.
Purchased by the Pacific Imperial Railway (aka PIR) the successor in interest to the Carrizo Gorge Railway, these three former CSX GP40-2's sit rotting away in the sun on the end of the Desert Line at Plaster City California. Word has it, that these three GP-40's are essentially useless to the PIR because they are grossly under-powered for their intended purpose of pulling double stacked well cars through the gorge to Division on the Mexican border just South and West of Jacumba. Currently, the PIR is involved in a number of management and money problems, the most recent being their newest president (they change like the seasons) is in trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interestingly enough, a year ago these units were tied down about a 1/2 mile east of their current position and they had to be moved when the UP (the railroad that brought the units to Plaster City) told the PIR guys to get their train off the UP track. Additionally, rumor has it that the units remain unpaid for by the PIR and the former owners are not as of yet, able or interested in going through the grief and expense of reclaiming them from Plaster City. A noted observation from a year ago in 2014, it appears that when the units were moved off the UP track, they were operated a few miles westward where they grabbed four derelict box cars from a string of about 20 sitting on a siding closer to Interstate 8. As to why the operators who moved the three units needed the box cars brought down to Plaster City, who knows. Perhaps it was to have some extra axles to tie down the train because things in the desert are likely to move by themselves in the night (the mind set after the Dubber's Spur incident) or perhaps the PIR guys felt it was necessary to create the illusion that a railroad is actually working out there, and this was a train that was just tied down after a day of switching. It makes one wonder.....
