At the rear of the coal loads was this surprise, a really clean SD70ACe. Such a rarity these days. Yes I was a little miffed this one turned up as a DPU but it was actually better positioned, relative to the light, than the head end was. It was nice enough that I gave serious consideration to chasing for another set or two. I did press on but this was one of the cleanest ACes I'd see all trip.
Benteen, MT, September 8, 2023.
Robert Malet was an important Norman nobleman and landowner. Around 1100, he founded the town of Orford on the Suffolk coast near a projecting stretch of land now called Orford Ness. This piece of land created a naturally sheltered harbour, and Orford flourished as a port.
When Malet died in 1105 his lands in England passed to King Henry I, who in turn gave them to his nephew Stephen de Blois in 1113. Stephen declared himself king in 1135 when Henry I died, and the country descended into civil war. The Earl of Suffolk, Hugh Bigod, sided with Matilda, Henry I’s only surviving legitimate child, and tried to use the war to bolster his already considerable power in East Anglia.
Stephen declared his own son, William, Earl of Suffolk, and gave him land in the county including the Honour of Eye, a large collection of estates, which contained Orford. Though the war ended in 1153 with Stephen remaining king but recognising Matilda’s son as his successor, the two groups in East Anglia remained at loggerheads.
Henry II succeeded Stephen in 1154, just months after the civil war ended. Almost immediately he set about asserting his authority, and forced William de Blois, Stephen’s son, and Hugh Bigod to surrender their castles. William died in 1159, and his property passed to the king. Henry II gave the honour of Eye to Thomas Becket who was his chancellor and a trusted friend.
However, this relationship was not to remain so trusting. When Henry II made Becket Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162 he expected his friend to be an ally in bringing the church under royal control. This was not to be, and the two fell out over the matter. Becket fled into exile in 1164.
The king confiscated the archbishop’s lands and almost immediately began to build Orford Castle in the Honour of Eye. In one move, Henry was able to curb Bigod's power in East Anglia by building a new royal castle, stamp his authority over Becket by building on his land, and guard a possible landing place in case the archbishop returned from France with an army at his back. Becket was allowed to return in 1170, but was murdered later that year.
The castle was nearly finished by the time Henry II’s sons rebelled against him in 1173. The country was again thrown into civil war, and Orford was made ready to defend against attack. However, the rebellion petered out the following year before Orford's garrison saw any fighting.
Orford Castle stayed in royal control, passing from Henry II to Richard I when Henry died in 1189. When Richard I was captured while returning from crusade, Queen Eleanor, his mother, assembled a fleet at Orford to take the ransom for the king’s release.
King John succeeded his brother Richard I in 1199. The castle was maintained throughout this period, and when the barons rebelled in 1215 the castle was garrisoned. The barons invited Prince Louis of France to invade and after landing in East Anglia he captured several castles, including Orford.
The royal castle was given to Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, in 1261. Bigod was loyal to Henry III and supported him in 1264 when the Second Baron's War broke out. During the civil war the castle was captured several times, and at the end of the conflict the king gave the castle to his eldest son, Prince Edward.
Edward succeeded his father as king in 1272. He frequently travelled across England, and passed through East Anglia many times on campaigns, administrative business, and even pilgrimage. He spent the night at Orford Castle on 11th. April 1277, which is the only known occasion on which a reigning monarch has visited. Edward often arrived unannounced or at very short notice, so there would have been pandemonium at Orford as servants hurried to prepare the castle for the royal visit.
When the king or sheriff's household was elsewhere, however, a constable was in charge of the castle. One constable in the 1270's, Hugh of Dennington, was notorious for misusing his power. He threw a royal official in prison at the castle, perhaps in the dungeon underneath the entrance, and abused another who died of his injuries.
Edward II's estrangement from his wife, Queen Isabella, ended with Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer overthrowing the king and putting his son, Edward III, on the throne in 1327.
A grandson of a past castle constable, Robert Ufford, quickly found favour with the new king and in 1330 he was given Orford Castle. Seven years later he was made Earl of Suffolk. During the 14th. century the castle was modernised, with new hoods on the fireplaces and glass in the windows, though the Uffords may not have used it as their main home.
Having passed out of royal control, the castle descended through the Ufford family until 1419 when it passed to the Willoughby's through marriage.
Michael Stanhope bought the castle from the Willoughby family in the 1590's. He was a royal favourite and probably began dismantling Orford’s outer walls so the stone could be used to build Sudbourne Hall nearby. Centuries of abandonment and steady decay followed. At the same time the port began to silt up, and the town shrank.
Francis Seymour-Conway bought Orford Castle along with the Sudbourne estate in 1753. The wealthy and influential Seymour-Conway was good friends with George III and went on to be made Marquess of Hertford.
Though the town of Orford was no longer a bustling port, it still occupied a useful position. In the late 18th. century a signal station was installed next to the castle, and in 1804 the equipment was moved to the top of the castle. The castle's prominence in the landscape meant the signalling system was updated in 1812 when semaphore was introduced, and during the Second World War it was adapted as a radar station.
Seymour-Conway was succeeded by his son, the 2nd. Marquess of Hertford. By this point the castle had been stripped of its outer walls and the keep stood alone. The keep itself was nearly demolished by the Marquess but parliament intervened to safeguard its value to ships. In 1831 the floors and roof were replaced.
Richard Wallace bought the castle and its linked estates in 1872. As well as hosting shooting parties and lunches at the castle, Wallace created new buildings in the town, including a cottage for the castle caretaker.
After various sales, in 1928 Sir Arthur Churchman gave the castle to Orford Town Trust. The Ministry of Works, later replaced by English Heritage, was given guardianship of the castle in 1962.
The castle received Grade: I listed building status on 16 March 1966. (English Heritage Legacy ID: 285095).
I've been struggling to figure out how to cover my mess of an engine block, so today I fiddled around with a new engine idea. I was talking about it with my dad and he suggested having the ship flare out on the back end, so I may try that route.
I'm also considering converting it to minifigure scale...
And yes I've gotten a lot more done than just fiddle with the engines. I've made a new measuring stick, stands, and the whole ship has a slight frame now.

Wright Pro Hardware, family-owned shop closes after 86-year run in Cathlamet.
When the Wright family opened up shop in 1933 as a vendor in the old creamery, the second story was used as a community dance hall, Wright said. Now it store antique furniture and piles of lawn mower belts.
As customers looking to make a purchase wind their way through the maze-like piles of products, they’ll find a trip to Cathlamet’s Wright Pro Hardware is like walking through an 86-year-old time capsule.
Near the heart of the store sits a house made of buttons, shells and other “found-in-pockets” treasures, a Wright family heirloom that moved with the Wrights from Tillamook, Ore., when they relocated their hardware business to Cathlamet in 1933.
On the second floor, 1940s and 1950s pinball machines line the wall — a call back to the Wright Amusement Company the family owned in addition to the hardware store.
In the back rooms, the walls still bear the wallpaper that decorated the apartment where the late Wally Wright, third-generation family owner of the store, was raised.
The store, which takes up a full city block on Broadway, has sat relatively dormant for the last five years, with a sign on the front door telling customers to call Wally Wright if they wanted to make a purchase.
In May, Wright Hardware reopened its doors for a final liquidation sale before the family officially closes up shop.
“A lot of people said this is the end of an era, and that’s the truth,” said current owner Linda Wright, 70, who was married to Wally Wright. “For me, it is bittersweet. I’m sad to see the store close … but my husband passed away this past August, and there’s no way I can take care of the building.”
According to the Family Business Center, about one in 10 family businesses remain in the family for more than 60 years. Only 3% of family-owned businesses survive into the fourth generation, the center says.
The heirs apparent to Wright Pro Hardware are Wright’s son Mike, 39, and daughter Meg, 35. However, they both live in new cities now — Meg in Sterling, Alaska, and Mike in Royal City, Wash.

Her children are tending to their own families and careers, she said. “They have their own lives now.”
And the family has “not even thought about selling it to another family,” she added. “It’s been in the family for so long that it’s hard to think about that.”
‘An electrical pile
and a car parts pile’
Wally Wright’s grandfather, Eugene, opened Wright Furniture and Hardware in 1933 after his son — and Wally Wright’s uncle — Otis returned home from a summer as a traveling salesman. Otis boasted that he’d found a city that “didn’t seem to know there was a depression going on,” said Linda Wright.
“Most places, they would slam the door in his face. But here in Wahkiakum County, people would invite him in,” she said.
The Wrights arrived in Cathlamet on the ferry, as there were no formal roads leading into the town at the time, Wright said. At the recommendation of Herbert Faubion, the family set up shop in the town’s old creamery, which had been converted into apartments and small vendor storefronts. (Faubion’s daughter, Effie, later married Eugene Wright’s son, Art. She is Wally Wright’s mother.)
“As people would move out, (the hardware store) would take over that space until they owned the whole store,” Linda Wright said.
Eugene Wright passed ownership of the store along to his sons, Otis and Art, sometime in the 1940s or 1950s, Linda Wright said. The brothers stocked the store by buying “lots,” or entire sections of other regional hardware stores that were closing, she said. Then, they’d bring their new products back to the store.
“They’d bring it back and put it in an electrical pile or a car parts pile. … They didn’t have it organized on shelves,” Wright said.
Customers who were looking for a specific part had to ask the family if it was in stock. The owners would wind their way through the “maze” of piles and often bring back exactly what was needed, Wright said.
Growing up in the back of the store, her husband “knew where things were in the store from the very beginning,” she said.
Despite his knowledge, Wally Wright didn’t officially sign on to work at the shop until 1985, when his father, Art, died. During the decade before, Wally Wright worked as a middle school science teacher at the local school, his wife said.
“His dad had some medical problems, and when (Eugene) passed in 1985, Wally stopped in to take over. … He took it over so his mom (Effie) would have a reason to get up in the morning and a place to go to meet people,” she said.

In 1990, Wally Wright affiliated the shop with Pro Hardware Distribution. That decision changed the name of the store and helped organize the front portion of the shop to look like a traditional hardware store, Linda Wright said.
But items piled in the back of the store were still for sale, she said, and Wally Wright continued to run the store much like his father before him.
“People were able to find what they needed (in the front of the store) without asking for help. But if you needed more than what you could see, you’d go ahead and ask Wally,” she said.
‘This is the saying goodbye’
In the nearly 45 years Linda Wright has been associated with the hardware store, she said her favorite memories all involve her husband’s joy for working in the shop.
“Wally was like his dad in that he had the ability to see a problem and figure out what needed to be done to correct it, to fix it, to make something work again,” Wright said.
Her husband especially loved Blaze King stoves, she said, and he was also quick to provide a demonstration of one of his favorite products, Corrosion X.
“He always had a small bottle of Corrosion X in his pocket. If something was stuck or didn’t turn right, he’d pull out that bottle … and he would put his drops in, wait a few minutes, and it would work,” Wright said. (The store’s stock of Corrosion X has already sold out because customers “knew what a good deal it was” when it went on sale initially, Wright said.)
Wally Wright was diagnosed with colon cancer about five years ago, his wife said. Working full days in the store was “too tiring” after chemotherapy and surgery, but he kept a sign on a door letting customers know he’d gladly lend a hand or make a sale if they needed it, his wife said.
Most of the customers by that time were long-time shoppers, Wright said, who knew that the Wrights’ store was “a place to go to find things when you can’t find them anywhere else.”
“It’s like the old standby. You know it’s there,” Wright said. “It’s like the old, worn shoes that are in the back of the closet, and you pull them out and say, ‘I forgot about those.’ ”
But Wright said she doesn’t expect the store’s closure to affect Cathlamet’s younger residents as much. Instead, those shoppers tend to patronize the other, newer hardware store, Cathlamet Building Materials, or go to “big box” stores like Lowes and Home Depot in nearby towns, Wright said.
“(Closing) will be hard for a lot of the people who have been around for a while ... but a lot of new people don’t even know we are there,” Wright said. “They don’t know the treasures that the walls hold.”
Those treasures include antique furniture, countless boxes of almost every nut and bolt known to man and decades of Wright family history.
With no family members nearby to step in for Wally Wright, this final liquidation sale will close the 86-year chapter of the family’s hardware shop.
“This is the saying goodbye,” Wright said.
The final day of the sale is July 6, Wright said, and most of the items will be marked down to 75% off starting this week. She said she wants to sell as many of the items out of the store as possible.
Eventually, Wright wants to sell the building and adjacent parking lot, so she can do more traveling and visit her grandchildren, she said. For now, though, she said she’s just taking it “one day at a time” and focusing on upholding the shop’s long-time mantra: Service, selection and satisfaction.

"You can ask your friends if they have ever seen a flower growing out of a melon and if they say they haven't, you can show them this picture."
My artistic 6 y/o granddaughter.
Kim Possible sandals on Pure Neemo. Sort of fit but not really her style + ankle straps really tight. . I hope they don't stain.
I have been revisiting the blogs I wrote for the trip, adding detail, which I hope gives a fuller picture of the stuff we did.
Anyway, this was our first full day, on which we had our own private guide to show us round the city; the Imperial Garden, the Public Fish Market, the Commercial Area and Shibuya.
----------------------------------------------
With the red wine and and beer drunk on the rooftop bar, I slept long and deep, as did Jools, so it came as a shick to be woken at eight by Jen telling us it was time for breakfast. We have a quick shower each, the go to the restaurant at the top of the building for a choice of French toast and bacon or something Japanese. We chose French Toast as we did all three mornings, along with coffee and fruit.
Outside it was a glorious day, and felt like summer on the inside of the ceiling to floor plate glass windows. Phew, its gonna be a scorcher! And what better way to spend the day than with our very own private tour guide.
What better indeed.
We met Maki at nine, and after some introductions, it was decided to go to Tokyo Station to exchange our vouchers for rail passes, thus making the rest of the travelling on the holibob possible. It also allowed us to be shown how to use the Metro, swiping our cards and looking at the map to plan a route. Handily, all lines have letter prefixes, and each station is numbered, so we were staying near K19, and to find our way back, get to the K line and go to the end, and Bob's you Aunt's live in lover. As it were.
We walked to the subway station, passing the lines of people waiting to go into the Thunder Gate temple, and also the gangs of rickshaw drivers touting for business with their tight buns and all dressed in the same way.
I was in heaven, I have been dreaming of travelling on the Tokyo Subway, but I was doing it for real, and snapping. All.The.Time.
We had to change a few stops along the line to get onto an overground suburban line for the run into Tokyo station. I was happy enough looking at the people queuing nicely on each platform as I looked over the lines of platforms. On each platform were more vending machines, but as ever I made do with snapping the scene and the people, always interesting
We arrived at Tokyo Station, Man, it was already hot, but Maki pointed out the profusion of vending machines. Everywhere, and for 110 Yet you can buy a half litre of cool h2o.
She lead us through various parts of the station to the rail tour office, we all filled out a lengthy form, then we were given our pass which gave us unlimited train travel for two whole weeks. We take in the scene of the main concourse, and the high arched roof of the reception hall outside the tourist office. We all take shots of it.
That done and the fact the Imperial Gardens were nearby, that is where we walked to next, through a maze of modern glass skyscrapers, over half empty 6 lane roads, and to the entrance to the gardens. Once upon a time it was the residence of the Emperor, he still have a third of it or something, but the rest is a public garden, which is littered with historic buildings, defensive walls and the remains of castles and storehouses and the like.
We walk along the main road before taking the path to the main entrance, between two ornamental lakes which reflected the walls and the modern city behind. We pay to go in for us and our guide, then entrance we walk through massive wooden gates, about 18 inches thick and made form the hardest wood I have seen.
All along the path, as it climbed, and forming the base of buildings, were walls made of massive stones, interlocked together like a giant 3D jigsaw, but built using no mortar, and some of the stones must have weighed tons, and carved into irregular shapes, so tight did they fit together that no vegetation grew from between them.
Did I mention it was hot? It was hot.
But the gardens were sensational, and gave us an understanding of the different prefectures in Japan, as all were represented. Also there was green tea plants and bamboo. And on the wing I saw three different species of swallowtail butterfly, but I had left my macro in the hotel, so made do with watching them flit about.
The path wanders through the gardens, view open up, across flower beds or lakes, but it doesn't seem crowded at all. It was coming to the end of the wisteria season, and hanging from the roofs of some of the shelters were long strands of the colourful plant. Little did we know that we would see wild wisteria trees in about ten days high up in the hills.
We go further into the gardens, in time coing to a wide flat park-like area. People are having picnics already, but Maki leas us on, past the music hall, all colourfully decorated to an elevated platofrm, once again made of the same stones described before, which once was the base for the large imperial castle, all of that is long gone. But from the top, once I had huffed and puffed up the steep slop, was the roof of the Budokan music hall, once THE venue to record a live album, like Cheap Trick and MSG.
We had seen enough, probably, but we were just so hot already, and jet lagged, so we trailed behind Maki as she lead us back to the main entrance out of the Imperial Gardens.
We take a time out to have some water from a vending area before completing the tour round the gardens, before walking to Tokyo Station again, but this time getting a bus to the commercial area for a walk round the public fish market.
It was hotter.
We climb on an air conditioned bus and wait for it to depart, but it seems cool enough, of maybe we're just getting used to the heat already. We leave and are treated with views of the commercial heart of the city, or one of the commercial hearts anyway. It all looks wonderfully exotic. A couple behind me asks if we were passengers off a cruise ship that they had seen dock earlier; he was an American now living here with his Japanese partner. I say that we had just flown in, and were on this guided tour, and there were really interested about the things we were doing. He said he really liked living in Tokyo, and I'm sure its a place that never fails to amaze.
It seems all tourists in Tokyo, and a good proportion of its residents also had the same idea, as it was like Venice on a very busy day.
And it was hot.
We start off walking over the main road, then down some of the merchants proper, where through open doors we can see fish being prepared; people ran about, trucks were reversing and the number of people increased.
The sights and smells were fabulous, but the lanes were narrow and choked with people, all walking at different paces, some eating, some drinking and some walking with their family. We were trying to keep pace with Maki. Obviously most stalls and shops sold seafood of some kind, but there were fruit and vegetable stalls too. We were tempted to buy something, but it was hard to know where to start, and we puzzled over many of the items on sale, each with just signs in Japanese, of course. Most of the dried seaweed looked the same, but must be different in taste if nothing else.
I take a few shots, mainly of the crowds to be honest, it is just wonderful, but the crowds and the heat mean it isn't really enjoyable, but looking back on it now, I can say I loved it. Maki turned to head down another narrow alley, and I say out loud, "oh no, not another one" as it was all becoming too much. We were hot, and the others hungry.
After an hour of walking and looking, and it being half one, it was decided that it was lunchtime. Over the main road bordering the market was a swish sushi place, who had tables at the counter, so we could watch our food being prepared. Only I wasn't hungry, so made do with some rice and simple sushi whilst Jools and Jen had a set meal. I drank some ice cool beer.
I had another. I had a salad, which I struggled to eat with chop sticks, so the chef who had been appointed to serve us provided me with a fork.
We walked back outside, and down the busy street, me catching glimpses into the gambling halls and shops that abounded. I took shots all the time of course.
After that we walked through the commercial area to the Tokyo version of Harrods to look at their food halls. None of us are big shoppers really, and we did it as Maki made it sound like a great thing, and some of the displays were wonderful for sure. The displays even outshone anyhing that Harrods had last time I went; the food looked perfect and freshly baked food from all over the world was available, including from Britain. Once again we bought nothing, not know which queue was for which counter. Even the bentos looked like art, and local people seemed to be buying stacks.
Finally she took us to the trendy area, really, so we ccould look round the best souvenir shop in the city. We were not sure when or if we would see souvenir shops, so we did buy a few things for friends, family and ourselves. Jen bought a dressing gown kind of things, and I bought a wall hanging and some small trinkets for friends. We then said to Maki that we had enough confidence to use the metro, and as we were by Shibuya, where I wanted to snap in the evening, we would bid her farewell one hour early, and we would look for a coffee shop.
After looking in a couple, we found a place in a rooftop place, in the shade, but it was still warm, so we order ice coffee and take the weight off our feet, which after a day's travelling, maybe a seven hour forced march round Tokyo in 30 degree heat wasn't the best thing. But we had survived, but our legs and feet we making some complaints. People were coming and going all the time, all were smiling, and enjoying the very warm sunshine. Teens looked perfect in their smart clothes and make up, whilst couples had neatly wrapped packets and parcels in chic bags. And there was us, sweating like the Brits out of water we were, but no one cast us a second glance.
A couple came up looking for a table, and we offer them ours, and they are so thankful, and we all bow to each other and smile.
We took a Metro to Shibuya, and then went looking for the famous crossing, but we were an hour early, so maybe we should find something to eat. There was flashing neon lights everywhere, and it was all a bit confusing to be honest. Then Jen says there's a place to eat on the top floor of the mega camera store near us. I have no idea how she spooted that, maybe I was sidetracked by all the flashing lights and the wonderful things and people to photograph.
So we take the lift to the top floor, and are shown to a booth overlooking the street below, and shown how to use the tablet to order food and drinks. Some of it was even in English, which was nice. We order some nibbles and drinks, and pressed send. Twenty minutes later the food arrived, but no drinks, we called the waiter and sent him to fetch beers.
The food was things like chicken on sticks, and sausage; the only place we saw a sausage the whole trip.
And all was good, in fact we mellowed out and enjoyed looking out as the light faded and the neon shone brighter.
We went downstairs and I went looking for the crossing, a six-way pedestrian crossing that is iconic, I took a place looking towards the brightest lights and snapped away.
We walk to another intersection and I try to make sense of it all, all the while taking shots, of course. I look down one of the road, under a railway bridge, and I think that might be the busy intersection I was hoping to snap.
It was, and with traffic zooming across at high speed, then every 5 minutes all traffic is stopped, and all pedestrian crossings switch to green and then there are hundreds, if not thousands making their way across the roads. Tow of the crossings even went diagonally across the crossing, the mixing in the middle.
It was a scene you can only imagine, I switched to the wide angle and slowed the shutter speed down and snapped some more. There was still some light in the sky, so the shots were pretty darn perfect, even I says so myself.
Happy with my shots, and the fact our legs and feet were screaming, we made our way back to the Metro then back to the hotel and back to the rooftop bar. The shops outside the Thunder Gate were rammed with people, and we had to really force our way through, but in a nice way.
It was a heck of a day, and we had achieved so much. And found our way back with no trouble either.
We played cards on the roof, with the Sky Tree shining a mile away, looking wonderful, and so we decided that we would go there the next evening. It was a much warmer evening, so we could sit under the starless sky whilst we played Meld. That and drank beer, wine and Gin, but not from the same glass, obvs.
Cheers
one last look at the winter in coal harbour. now that it is well into spring in van, the archives need to be emptied.
There are several possible explanations for why Mrs PB decided to spell the word "Nerd" using cardboard letters this Sunday evening.
If you discount the cynical explanation (that it was merely a ploy to enter flickr roulette to attract more views) you are left with today's story;
For a polar bear apparently allergic to all forms of education Mrs PB knows quite a few words. Unfortunately most of these words, to Mr Fox's dismay, are incredibly rude. Worried that in their upcoming scrabble tournament Mrs PB might cause bit of a scene with her vocabulary Mr Fox thought it his duty for her to add some slightly rude insults to her repertoire. This resulted in a a somewhat surreal evening in which Mr Fox spelled a variety of insults on the chalk board and Mrs PB copied.

Kim Possible is an American animated action comedy-adventure television series created by Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle that originally aired on Disney Channel from June 7, 2002 to September 7, 2007.
I have this wonderful heroine with me from back when I was one of several admins running a major network. One of my users dubbed me "Kim Possible!" and gave me the doll! It was just great to know that the people whose network I helped manage thought I could solve or fix anything! :) :)
Taken for the Jules' Photo Challenge Group:
Last month our challenge involved vowels so naturally this month is the consonants!
her haunting eyes kept me riveted on her face. so young, yet she’s seen so much, I thought to myself. the slight smile on her face hinted, perhaps a bit mockingly, of a defiance, of a resolve, to move out of her environs and become someone else... Hunger drives and motivates people. Maybe more people should be hungry.
Fun picture- guys could climb onto the thing and girls could stand around looking at them or something like that!! - 2
If possible this Fuller's pub is even more gloriously bedecked with flowers and foliage than last time I took a photo of it. It's a pub with a split personality (Irish pub, English name, American paraphernalia, Thai food, and, er, chamber pots hanging from the ceiling). Still, it serves good beer. (Older photo of it.)

And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw Yesterday!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!

TIESTO also known as DJ Tiësto, Allure, Da Joker, Drumfire, Handover Circuit, Paradise In Dubs, Passenger, Roze, Steve Forte Rio, Stray Dog, Tom Ace, Wild Bunch
Tiësto OON (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈcɛstoː]; born Tijs Michiel Verwest [ˈtɛi̯s miˈxil vərˈʋɛst] on January 17, 1969) is a Dutch musician, DJ and record producer of electronic dance music. Although he has used many aliases in the past, he is best known for his work as DJ Tiësto. On his latest productions, however, he has dropped the "DJ" label and is now known simply as "Tiësto", an alias which is a twist of his childhood nickname.
In 1997, he founded the label Black Hole Recordings with Arny Bink, where he released the Magik and In Search of Sunrise CD series. In 1999 and 2000 he collaborated with Ferry Corsten to create Gouryella. His 2000 remix of Delerium's "Silence" featuring Sarah McLachlan exposed him to more mainstream audiences. In 2001 he released his first solo album In My Memory which gave him several major hits that launched his career. He was named "World’s No.1 DJ" 3 consecutive times by DJ Magazine from 2002 through 2004.
Just after releasing his second studio album Just Be in 2004 at the Summer Olympics, he performed live at the opening ceremony in Athens, Greece, becoming the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympics. Tracks he made especially for the Olympics were mixed together and released as the mix compilation Parade of the Athletes later that year. In April 2007 Tiësto launched both his radio show Tiësto's Club Life on Radio 538 in the Netherlands and released his third studio album titled Elements of Life. The album reached number one on the Dutch album chart as well on "Billboard Top Electronic Albums" in the U.S. and received a nomination for a Grammy Award in 2008. Tiësto released his fourth studio album called Kaleidoscope in October 2009.
Early Life and Career
Tijs Michiel Verwest was born in Breda, North Brabant, Netherlands on January 17, 1969. He had an interest in music since the age of twelve. When he was fourteen he decided to dedicate more time to it and began DJing professionally at school parties. He then moved on to become a resident DJ between 1985 and 1994 at several clubs in the Netherlands after his manager and friend Wilfred encouraged him. However, it was at The Spock, a small club in Breda, where he was able to fine-tune his own style by playing in a separate room from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m. on weekends. In the beginning of his career, as a DJ he played mostly New Beat and acid house.
In 1994, he began releasing material on Noculan Records' sub-labels Chemo and Coolman. During these years, he produced hardcore/gabber tracks under aliases such as Da Joker and DJ Limited. He was later discovered by the general manager of Rotterdam-based Basic Beat Recordings. In late 1994, he signed to Basic Beat where he met Arny Bink, Tiësto released records on the sub-label Trashcan, founded by Arny, and later created the Guardian Angel sub-label with Arny in which they introduced the popular Forbidden Paradise series. Meanwhile from 1995 to 1996 he released four extended plays on Bonzai Jumps and XTC, sub-labels of Lightning Records. In 1997, Tiësto joined his friend Yves Vandichel on his sub-label, DJ Yves, a division of the now defunct Human Resource label XSV Music. In the fall of 1997, both Arny and Tiësto decided to leave Basic Beat and create their own parent label, now known as Black Hole Recordings, Trashcan was discontinued and Guardian Angel continued releasing music until 2002. Through Black Hole, Tiësto released the Magik series and also created two major sub-labels in 1998; In Trance We Trust and SongBird.
From 1998 to 1999, Tiësto released music on Planetary Consciousness were he met A&R Hardy Heller and invited him to release some records on Black Hole. Tiësto later included the In Search of Sunrise series on SongBird. In 1999, Tiësto joined forces with fellow Dutch deejay Ferry Corsten to create the trance based duo of Gouryella. He also collaborated with Benno de Goeij from 1998 to 2000 under the name Kamaya Painters. Since November 1999 he performed monthly as a resident at Gatecrasher in Sheffield, one of the most popular clubs in England. In 1999 he also played in a 12-hour set, being his longest lasting concert in Amsterdam.
Late in 2000, Tiësto decided to concentrate on his personal work and left Corsten by himself to write and produce Gouryella's next single with John Ewbank, the record company was demanding more tracks and neither Tiësto or Ferry could work together at the time. Tiësto introduced Armin van Buuren, Johan Gielen and Ferry Corsten to the mainstream with his first compilations and the In Trance We Trust series. Summerbreeze became Tiësto's debut DJ mix album in the US with the help of a contract signed to Nettwerk. Summerbreeze featured his remix of Delerium's "Silence", it spent four weeks in the UK's Top Ten chart, it reached number three in the Billboard dance chart. In Search of Sunrise 2 was released in 2000. Tiësto decided to create a sub-label, known as Magik Muzik. The label began releasing Tiësto’s own releases, but it has also released tracks for the Filterheadz, Oliver Lieb, Mark Norman, Mojado, Phynn and Jes Brieden. The label became a trademark which stands for high quality electronic dance music which was due to the release of Tiësto's classic dance anthem "Flight 643" in 2001.
In My Memory era (2001–2004)
Tiësto's fame started to rise in the early 2000s after his set at the first ID&T Innercity party (Live at Innercity: Amsterdam RAI), and the release of In My Memory, his first solo album released in 2001 which contained 10 singles and 5 major hits; The singles from the album were: "Lethal Industry" which was actually produced in 1999 and had only 3 copies released at that time, the track was officially released in 2001 which was remixed by Richard Durand in 2006 along with "Flight 643" which was another leading single that was later adapted with vocals by Suzanne Palmer and released as "643 (Love's on Fire)". Other tracks were "Obsession" in which Tiësto worked alongside Junkie XL, the instrumental tracks "Dallas 4PM" and "Suburban Train" with "Urban Train" as its B-Side which contained some vocals. The last singles to be released were "In My Memory" which is the title track for the album as it only received high ratings in the United States and the opening track "Magik Journey" which opened Tiësto in Concert (2003). On February 2, 2002 Tiësto played nine consecutive hours during the second edition of the Dutch Dimension festival. On February 27 he was awarded a Zilveren ('Silver') Harp music award. The same year he also received a Lucky Strike Dance Award in the category Best DJ Trance/Progressive. In August he became part of Moby's Area2 Tour. For eighteen days he travelled through the United States with artists such as Moby himself, but also David Bowie and Busta Rhymes. In January 2003 Tiësto received the annual Dutch Popprijs ('Pop Award') during the Noorderslag festival. After touring with Moby, Tiësto remixed two songs from him, "We Are All Made of Stars" and "Extreme Ways" in the same year, having "We Are All Made of Stars" reach #13 in the Hot Dance Club Play. In 2002 he released his first In Search of Sunrise mix to feature a place on its name, In Search of Sunrise 3: Panama. On March 28, 2003; Tiësto, Dieselboy, Bad Boy Bill, and Noel Sanger joined the PlayStation2 Dual Play tour. Tiësto and Noel's appearance began on April 13 and ended on June 6.
His fame continued to skyrocket in the early 2000s, following his six-hour "Tiësto Solo" sets which he performed without other DJs or opening acts. This idea, of one DJ playing alone to a large crowd, was brought to its pinnacle when Tiësto was the first DJ to hold a solo concert in a stadium; on May 10, 2003, he performed for over 25,000 people in Arnhem's GelreDome. This concert was later called Tiësto in Concert, the event was an enormous success. He repeated the same type of concert the following year during two consecutive nights in late October. In addition to holding these two concerts for 35,000 of his fans, he held another concert for a crowd of 20,000 in Hasselt, Belgium the following week. DVDs of both his May 10, 2003 and October 30, 2004 concerts have been released, having the other DVD titled Tiësto in Concert 2. The DVD's show the journey from the first idea to the main event, it features live performances by Andain, Dinand Woesthoff, and Jan Johnston. The event includes live music and dancers performing at different times throughout the set. The theme of the event is a mystical, musical journey around the world based on the theme of Magik. It consists of 200+ minutes of performances with a second disc with special features, It includes a behind-the-scenes looking at The Making Of the event, the music video for his song "Traffic" and TV Commercials for the event. The second DVD has performances from Aqualung and violin player DJ Mason, Micha Klein and the Bulgarian Children of Orpheus choir. During this period, he was crowned as "No. 1. DJ in the World" by DJ Magazine (UK) in 2002, 2003, and 2004.
Just Be era (2004–2007)
In 2004, he released his second artist album Just Be, which featured his first single "Traffic" which is the first non-vocal track to reach number one spot in the Dutch national charts for 23 years. The track "Sweet Misery" was originally written for Evanescence but it did not meet the deadline for the release of their album. In support to his Just Be album, he played at Breda, Eindhoven, Utrecht, and Amsterdam; these stops were later named Just Be: Train Tour. On May 20, 2004 he was appointed Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau by Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.
The Athens Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (ATHOC) asked Tiësto to perform at the Olympic Games, making him the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympic Games at the 2004 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Athens, where he played for 90 minutes. Tiësto flew to Athens in January 2004 to have a meeting with the ATHOC. His Tiësto in Concert DVD caught their attention, after which he was asked to write more tracks based on his opening tune "Adagio for Strings" which could fit in with the Olympic spirit and combine the classical with the modern age; They also requested that he play his own produced music. The first rehearsal was on Saturday August, 7, for an empty stadium; the second rehearsal was on Sunday August 8 with 35,000 volunteers, a lot of the people recognised some tracks like "Traffic" and "Adagio for Strings". The last rehearsal included almost 60,000 people in the stadium which was on Tuesday August 10, there were some technical problems, the mixer broke down, the monitors dropped out a couple of times and the music in the stadium was not continuously on the right volume.
During the parade on Friday, August 13, 2004, all participating nations introduced their athletes—10,500 in total There were 80,000 spectators, only 75,000 knowing about dance music. During the course of his performance the Dutch athletes started dancing in front of the DJ booth and had to be moved on by officials. The performance included new tracks produced especially for the Opening Ceremony and songs that were created to complement the spirit and theme of the ceremony. A condensed studio-recorded album of the songs played on the Olympic set was later released, including new songs specially composed for the occasion, entitled Parade of the Athletes in October 2004. In the liner notes, he noted the IOC requested that the music not contain any lyrics as they could be inadvertently misinterpreted.
In late 2004, he began his touring across Latin America, with his release of In Search of Sunrise 3: Panama in which he gained influence from the sun and sand in summer 2002. The tour continued in 2005, and Tiësto performed live at Brazil, Argentina, Panama, Peru, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador and Colombia. Following the tours, In Search of Sunrise 4: Latin America was released in 2005, featuring a second CD for the first time in the In Search of Sunrise series.
In 2005, his Perfect Remixes Vol. 3 compilation was released through Warlock Records, containing ten tracks which were created during the beginning of his career, between those is Junkie XL, Mauro Picotto and The Roc Project. On August 20, 2005, Verwest took Tiësto in Concert to the US when he played to 16,000 at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena with Cirque du Soleil dancers. For the second year in a row he performed live at a New Year's Eve/New Year's concert in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Orleans Arena to a sell-out crowd. Despite his four-city US tour being postponed due to the hurricane damage in New Orleans and Miami, playing such cities further expanded and cemented his popularity among mainstream audiences. This was surpassed later in summer 2007 when some 250,000 danced on Ipanema Beach, Brazil, becoming the second largest concert in history. BPM magazine has an annual poll in the US which is unveiled in the WMC, in 2005 Tiësto took the No. 1 spot.

Stops were made in Ukraine, Slovakia, Serbia, Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Croatia, Poland and South Africa. The United States tour that was part of Tiësto in Concert was dwarfed by his appearance at Sensation White in 2006 where he performed to over 45,000 people in the world's biggest dance event in Amsterdam, Holland.
In Search of Sunrise 5: Los Angeles was released in 2006 which was certified Gold in Canada for sales over 50,000 copies. It also charted, peaking #34 in Canada and #59 in Austria.

I can't even explain how marvelleous was this journey in one of the most wonderful cities in the world. Walking in, through houses and churches, it is possible to breath the magical atmosphere of the Ancient Rome.
A masterpiece of city.
Today's topic for Macro Mondays is "Bag," and this leather pouch is my possibles bag, though, more realistically I guess I should simply call it a ball bag because all I ever carried in it was lead balls for my .50 caliber muzzle loading black powder pistol (see first comment below). Since the only place I ever shot the old hand cannon was on a pistol range, I never had any need for a real mountain-man type of possibles bag, but this was the sort of bag they used to keep handy to carry stuff they might possibly need real quick.

Little update, all my monster high customs will be going up for sale in the next couple months, AiL Chloe is sold and possibly one of my other BJDs will have to be sold as well as and lots of clothes and accessories. Everything is going to be up on feee-bay, will post on here when the auctions are ready.
I'm sad about it but moving to london with all this doll stuff would be a real pain in the butt. The problem will be chosing who goes. I love them all so much.
Eyes out for Dorians SA plate. He's getting face-up and the MH girls (2 frankies, 1 ghoulia skull-face) will be up for auction first.
male ..about 5mm long at the most...turrented abdomen with the turrent only a little larger than the abdomen. large frontal eyes for size...found on leaf and not on a dry twig.
It is still possible to find an old Studebaker which is in reasonable condition. This one was found somewhere in the States. It had been parked in an old barn, forgotten and untouched for over 20 years.
I took these images from a Vice Grip Garage video movie, found on YouTube. This movie was about the challenge if the engine would start after so many years of inactivity.
At the end of the YouTube movie the owner asked the viewers to put in the comments what to do with the car now it's finally running. Leave it like it was found, with the original patine? Or clean the car and prepare it for sale?
The majority choose for the last option.
This image is taken just after an entire cleaning treatment.
