Donna the WWII Stuart M-5 tank sits in her position at the back of the Memorial Park lot, next to an alley and looking out towards North First St in DeKalb IL.
Donna the tank at Memorial Park at the northeast corner of Lincoln Hwy and First St in DeKalb, Illinois. The tank is a Stuart M5 Light Tank. It is my understanding that this particular tank never saw any actual combat service during WW II. However it might be more accurate to say that, it is not known if this tank saw any service during WWII. Apparently Donna's previous history before her arrival in DeKalb was lost or never given.
Donna arrived in DeKalb in Jan 1949 and was soon placed and dedicated in a prominent location in downtown DeKalb at the corner of Lincoln Hwy and Fourth St, and also near the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks. I recall seeing her there many times as a boy when we visited our DeKalb relatives and I can tell you she made quite an impression in that location.
Before Donna, a captured German WW I cannon and a large honor roll sign sat in the same location but when WW II came along, the cannon was donated as scrap for the war effort. Nobody seems to know what happened to the honor roll sign.
The original location turned out to be problematic for Donna over the years. On August 4, 1961, a train derailment bumped Donna off her cement pad. A few train cars were strewn about the street but Donna was largely unscathed. When I learned this a year ago or so I was fascinated.
In latter years, when the local military officials held their annual service at the location near the busy intersection and railroad tracks, they were frustrated with the train horn and bells and they claimed it was difficult to safely conduct these events, hence Donna was moved here to Memorial Park on May 18, 2002.
I understand their reasoning but I can tell you that for many of us who remember her in the original location, its obviously not the same. You couldnt miss her at 4th & Lincoln but today she has been delegated to the back of a lot where she's seen mostly by those who already know shes there.
Information from the Joiner History Room in Sycamore IL: "Donna came from the Watervliet Arsenal in Watervliet, New York in January of 1949. There is no mention of her name in the news coverage at the time she arrived or anything about her other than where she came from.
There is a 2002 DeKalb Chronicle article that says “Donna, which apparently got its name from the girlfriend of the tank commander who operated it early in WWII…” Donna was repainted in January of 1949 when she arrived."
With so many Spanish groups scattered and several Spanish leaders hit, and a big unit of redcoats coming up, the table is ceded to the Crown forces.
An enjoyable game that shows the limits of regulars in a messy and jumbled environment The Spanish needed to form up quickly while they outnumbered the Crown and the initial ambush needed to hurt the Spanish a bit more.
The Spanish losses were: 5 in the Florida Militia and their leader KIA 3 in the barely engaged Black Militia The Grenadiers had 8 dead and the Lights lost 5. Oklane was wounded and his Yamasee lost 6. 28 dead altogether.
The Crown forces had 5 Darien Scots killed and Mckay wounded. The Georgia Rangers lost 7 -all near the end of the battle. The Indian allies had 7 killed along with their leader wounded. The 42nd only had 1 man killed-obviously most of the action was on the other side of the trail. Total of 20 casualties plus 2 Big Men wounded.
I really enjoy these sort of under-represented theatres.

The railway formed a part of the metre gauge Jodhpur Railway and originally extended as far west as Hyderabad which it reached in 1901. The stretch westwards from Mirpur Khas was converted to broad gauge several years ago. The metre gauge lines were separated from the Indian metre gauge system as a result of the partition in 1947. Through services ceased in 1965 during the Indo-Pakistan war that year and the stretch crossing the border east of Khokhrapar was lifted.
The line now exists primarily to serve the numerous army facilities along what remains a volatile border area. In 2004, Pakistani newspapers carried reports of a high level meeting between Pakistani and Indian officials about the proposed reopening of the line across the border. The Pakistani position was that the railway eastwards from Mirpur Khas needed complete reconstruction and should be rebuilt as a broad gauge line since the Pakistanis have no modern metre gauge equipment. They estimated that the work would take about two and a half years. The Indian position was that they could supply metre gauge equipment and diesels as needed to enable through trains to restart quickly – possibly as soon as September 2005.
In the meantime the railway remained something of a time capsule of how the Indian metre gauge must have been in the days of the British Raj. It is worked solely by BESA standard SP class 4-6-0’s designed in 1903, and by IRS standard YD class 2-8-2’s designed in the 1920’s.
The Cairn position (although I have been told that other terriers do this). The photograph doesn't do justice, and really show just how flat those hips are with knees splayed.
A girls best friend. He's still happy if I come home late. He finds it interesting if I smell like I have been out with another dog. He thinks I'm funny when drunk. When I have him wear a studded collar he doesn't call me a pervert.
A trip to Independence Lake Rd. it's an annual place to visit in mid-October. We usually find new ways to look at the same old trees. One of the attractions is a group of aspens that turn orange whereas most are yellow.

Queensbury probe for a weakness in the opposition defence during a 26-22 win at Allerton Bywater in the First Division of amateur rugby league's Yorkshire League. Two early tries at Ninevah Lane put Bury 10-0 up but the hosts hit back with great determination to lead by two points at half-time then claimed a 22-14 advantage after an hour. Divisional leaders Queensbury clinched victory - and maintained a 100 per cent start to the 2018 season from seven games - with two tries in three minutes during the closing stages. After a double dismissal for an exchange of punches, both teams played all but 27 minutes with 12 players.

This rudimentary defensive position may have served as the command bunker for a battery of anti-aircraft guns in this location. It it sited near the highest point, in close proximity to one of the Rh-202 guns still in situ (presumed to be close to the original position) and would have been large enough for the compliment of command and signals staff required. It is larger than the standard single or two-man positions found elsewhere.
People In A Position To Know (2015)
I read a pretty positive review of this album that likened it to some 90's indie rock that I was a fan of. The fact that the record was put together by Joe Plummer, a man who played drums for The Shins, Modest Mouse, Black Heart Procession and more didn't really weigh into the decision to pick this up. After all, he's the drummer, it could sound like anything. At the time I decided to purchase this, I was able to listen to the lead track "Honeybear."
After hearing that first song, I figured this would be a worthwhile pick up. It had an upbeat, but still somewhat jangley and sloppy vibe to it. A little Pavement and little Built To Spill. I also found out that there had been a limited amount of colored vinyl, which I had missed out on. That only made me want it more. I kept on looking for it and checking around and finally one popped up on Discogs and essentially no mark up at all. I immediately grabbed it.
After several spins of the entire album, I think I've ended up pretty let down by it. The first song "Honey Bear" is still pretty good as are the next two "V" and "1313." They're not quite as good, but they're alright. After that, this album is just all downhill for me, starting with the fourth song "Due To Rain." I can't say I'm even sure how to describe it, but if you like whining, yelping vocals over slow drumming and an odd psuedo-funk bass line, then this songs for you.
Built In Sun never really recovers after that song. Sure there are a couple of songs that are OK, but at best they sound like low rent Three Mile Pilot songs. It's an below average record with a handful of songs worth a spin, but Built In Sun just isn't consistent enough to pick up if you ask me.

Lots of comfy hand positions to choose from. Still miss my drop bars, though. May swap out for drop bars sooner rather than later. Plus, I really miss the friction shifting for the front derailluer I had with my Ultegra bar end shifters on my old Surly.
I know it's not as modern as indexing, but indexed front shifting is not fun to set up. In fact, my front derailleur skips over the middle chainring when downshifting off the big chainring. Despite hours trying to tweak this and following countless sets of instructions, tips, and suggestions online on how to eliminate this problem, I did not get it taken care. I think it might be an issue with the shifter rather than the derailleur. In any case, this would not be an issue at all with the friction front shifting of good bar end shifters.
I just gave up and make an extra shift back up to the middle chainring in those instances when I am trying to downshift to the middle chainring from the big chainring. Not too big a deal, though I may still have a bike shop take a look at and see if they can adjust it properly.
It took us about 2 hours to collect and position the rocks, but was a fun little project and we had quite a few people taking photos to spread the word.
Being on Petone Beach when the tide recedes is a lesson in the carelessness and waste of our generation. Every type of rubbish imaginable washes ashore here, ugly and maddening to see.
There is too much waste, too much plastic that we use in this throw-away society. Finding little ways to cut down on your waste is very easy. Start with something as simple as refusing straws when you're at a restaurant or bringing your own bags when you buy groceries.

Day 7 (Pupation in Progress). The caterpillar has been hanging in this position for nearly 24 hours and is in the process of shedding it's skin for the final time. It will pump and wriggle until the skin is pushed to the rear end, which where the cremaster is attached to the milkweed leaf by strong silk threads. Once it is free of the skin it will form a soft, wet, green pupa, also called a cocoon. This will harden in a few hours and darken in color from a deep green to black. The process for it to emerge will take about two weeks.

Positioned along track to Church Farm, this FW3/28 Type 28 anti-tank gun house is sited facing north to defend the river crossing at Jude's Ferry Bridge. The gun emplacement was fitted with a pedestal and nine-bolt holdfast for a 6-pounder anti-tank gun.
The FW3/28 Type 28 is a rectangular shellproof gun house designed to house either a 2pdr or 6pdr Hotchkiss anti-tank gun. The smallest Type 28 gun house, is a single chamber design built to a shellproof standard, with external walls approximately 3ft 6in thick whilst the roof is 12in thick. Overall it approximately measures 20ft by 19ft and internally the chamber measures 13ft by 12ft. At the front of the Type 28 gun house is the low and wide embrasure for the 2pdr or 6pdr anti-tank gun. With the 2pdr gun in position the shield of the gun would have covered most of the embrasure, which measures 2ft 6in internally, stepping out to 3ft 2in by 11ft 6in on the outside, the maximum traverse of the 2pdr gun was limited to a 60° sweep.
Getting the 2pdr gun inside the gun house was through a rear opening of 6ft wide, which would be closed in with sandbags as there were no doors fitted. The large unobstructed entrance did allow the 2pdr gun to maintain it’s mobility, by allowing the gun to be moved in and out rapidly. Below the gun embrasure are three recesses in the floor, the 2pdr gun, would have been wheeled into position, then its wheels removed and the trail legs unfolded and located into the floor recesses. In cases were the Hotckiss quick fire anti-tank gun was used a pedestal with a nine bolt holdfast was added to mount the gun, in a more permanent position adding sandbags around the embrasure for added protection.
Normally each side wall has an infantry embrasure, to provide some limited protection from the enemy. However, the lack of all-round small arms fire meant that the gun house would be very vulnerable to enemy attack. The lack of forward-firing Infantry embrasures meant that it would not be possible to support the 2pdr gun with small arms fire. So to overcome the problem of the limited infantry fire support the FW3/28 gun house design was modified to produce the FW3/28a. This modification consisted of a second chamber being added to the anti-tank gun chamber, the second chamber was an infantry chamber with up to three infantry embrasures, firing to the front, rear and side. Generally, the gun houses were positioned to allow the gun to fire along fixed lines, such as enfiladingss an anti-tank ditch or a bridge. In these positions the limited traverse of the gun creates no real disadvantage and the small size of the embrasure provides greater protection for the gun and its crew.
Eastern Command: Corps and Command Stop Lines – One of three Eastern Command Corps stop lines, this one running from the River Colne in Essex via Wakes Colne and Bures, along the River Stour to Sudbury and Long Melford, and thence to Bury St. Edmunds and the River Lark at Mildenhall. Its final stretch (known now as the Command Line) was via Littleport along the line of the River Great Ouse to King's Lynn.
