29 Rehoboth Ave; a possible location for the former Acme in Rehoboth (records list the store as "29 to 33 Rehoboth Ave", but the store opened in 1961; I wouldn't normally think they were opening stores this small that late). Currently Carlton's clothing store.
Another Rehoboth Acme previously opened at "Route 14 near Route 24" in 1954; Route 14 was replaced by Route 1, but the intersection of Rts. 1 & 24 no longer has anything resembling an older Acme still standing.
Given the aerial viewpoint of the original postcard, it wasn't possible to recreate it exactly, but once I figured out where to look, I was surprised at how much of the original factory actually still existed.
In 1895, a Danish company, Otto Monsted Ltd, set up what was then the largest margarine factory in Europe. Then after WW1, it was taken over by the Maypole company. The postcard shows a view of the factory c.1920, looking southeast with the railway lines running off the left towards London, and the photographs below were taken in July 2006. The road which comes in from the right of the postcard was originally named "Margarine Road" (appropriate but rather unimaginative!), and is now the section of Merrick Road which runs east from South Road just south of the railway station.
#1: This grand looking building was actually built as a recreation and community centre for the factory workers. It is still in use today as a community centre.
#2: When I was wandering around, I suddenly realised that Sunrise Radio occupies part of the original factory.
#3: Not entirely sure what function these sheds had in the original factory, but they are now "The Arches Business Centre" and house many small wholesale and retail businesses.

i checked my supplies and pulled out anything that i had 4 of, that looked like it might be the right size. the little thread spools turned out to be the best. the others were just too bulky for the delicate head/footboards

Road to close when bridge is removed.
A plan was formulated to ensure as little inconvenience as possible to road users while the bridges carrying the disused railway track between Irlam Station and the C.W.S. Soap works, across Liverpool Road and Tramway Road, Irlam, are removed.
The plan involves the closure of the main road for a six-hour period in the early hours of December 5. The arrangements were made by representatives of the Counsil, Police, Lancashire United Transport, Manchester Ship Canal Co, (who own the line and are responsible for the job) and the contractors, at a meeting in Irlam Council Offices.
Plans to remove these two bridges and also a steel bridge which carried the rail - removed last year - across the old River Irwell, and a fourth which carries Station Road across the old track, were reported in last week's "Guardian".
Traffic lights.
It was decided to remove the Tramway Road bridge first and the road will be closed from next Wednesday for this purpose. Afterwards, it is intended that work should switch to the main road bridge and parts of this will be demolished without interference to traffic.
The scaffolding will be erected on the road underneath the bridge so that some of the cross beams can be taken away, and at this stage, light traffic from the Eccles direction will be diverted along Tramway and Cooper Roads, and traffic lights will control a one-way system on the main road.
Traffic will be restricted to one side of the road because sparks from the cutting operations could be dangerous. By December 4, the contractors will be ready to take down the three main girders and the cross beams retained to prevent them blowing over. The girders will be lifted from their seatings on to Liverpool Road and then taken away.
For the operation, the main road will be closed from midnight until 6 a.m. light traffic will be diverted along Tramway Road and Cooper Road
and heavy vehicles will be re-routed via Glazebrook Lane and the M62.

Is it possible to fall in love with a virtual mate? In Second Life, couples prove that theory on a regular basis. They do fall in love. Sometimes, it lasts and sometimes it doesn't.
Those that last are a remarkable group of couples. They are remarkable both in SL and RL where the divorce rate matches the break-ups in SL!
My partner, Xavier and I enjoy SL very much. We dance, we explore, we network, we chill, we love and we have a blast doing silly things.
So many places offer romantic areas such as ballrooms, chill zones and explorations. Here are some of our favorites...
Avilion Ballroom is a special favorite of mine. It's where I first danced with my first crush... and now I dance here with my partner. Recently, renovated, the Avilion offers a beautiful place to romance each other.
Phatland is another. More jazz music than Avilion, Phat's is a sophisticated club for couples. Beautifully built, we seem to frequent this place a lot.
Another great ballroom venue is Frank's Place. A lot of avies hang out here, so do prepare for a bit of lag. I suggest that you arrive early so that you can grab a spot on the dance floor.
A smaller club that we frequent regularly is the MMAC Jazz Link. Every week, DJ VJ Shojo spins an eclectic set of jazz and indie tunes. Very chill and very romantic little jazz club. Dash Renoir is the perfect host there.
Then there's the beautiful Ballroom">Palace, where grand is an understatement. We usually arrive to a nearly empty place dancing alone in our own world. Very romantic.
But, the most grand of all is a recent discovery. Tempura Island and Ballroom is the epitome of a lover's paradise. Grand and magnificent, the ballroom is done in gold gilt, with a beautiful ceiling and wall textures. The stairs leading to the ballroom and castle are simple but ever so opulent. This is an LM that I have sent to all my friends! LOL!
And we still frequent the clubs that offer a place for us. A place where we can be a couple without the drama that other places bring...
We hit Dorian Gray for DJ Barbs set and Xavier set off his JMD particle hud for a romantic interlude on the dance floor. So fun!
A big thanks to DJ Dint Talon for an awesome night over at IPR365 Milky Way Entertainment complex's K-Lounge. OMG, we had a blast! DJ Dint was spinning an incredible set of jungle, tribal, trance... you name it, he was spinning it! We stayed until the end!
We also went to Bogart's Cafe which is kinda a ballroom and kinda a lounge setting. You can dress in ballroom or cocktail dress there. We often go in between clubbing for a quick ballroom dance to lovely jazz music.
We usually stop off at Spanish DJ Sonar Halsey's Future Club. It is always psy heaven there! And BassLine Island for some hardcore tunes to get the blood pumping. Both are fun clubs for couples to hang at and dance.
And when we explore, we always seem to find the cutest places such as Midnight City for NBC's romantic dinner club, Rainbow Room Dining and the Italian pizza place that reminds me of North Beach in San Francisco!
The other night, Xavi took me to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's build featuring an interactive floor of of the entire world's atmosphere! Wow! This from the US Department of Commerce!
And, when we chill at home we can be silly and set off our particles and dance or pull all our emotes and gestures for hours of silliness.
Couples in Second Life are just like couples in real life. They play, they love, they emote real emotions towards each other... and as best friends, they share the best of Second Life together.
Two Calvin & Hobbes pages in one LOAD? Is it possible I'm a wee bit obsessed? :)
journaling:
Ah, my childhood. The days of the comics section in the newspaper. They were, of course, the best part of the paper. (Meanwhile, my kids are asking: what's a comic strip? You mean like webcomics? But what's a newspaper?) Every day - rows of black and white strips, and then on Sundays, big color ones.
One day, while living in Berlin, we discovered a new strip in the military paper, by Bill Watterson, called
Calvin and Hobbes. (It's even possible that it was when it first came out, or close to it.) I don't remember the first strip we ever read, except that we liked it and wanted to read more.
I do remember when we first read this Sunday strip, the bedbug one. I remember how hard we laughed, doubled over helplessly (because of course, we said, "Don't let the bedbugs bite" all the time at bedtime). I remember Dad trying to explain the Kafka joke at the beginning. Dad cut it out of the paper and put it up on the frig. We read Calvin and Hobbes religiously after that, and bought every collection book we could find. Chris and I would act out scenes from the strips, or just sit together with the books, reading them aloud, taking turns with the parts.
Years later, in college, I made my dad a Father's Day card by going to the library and photocopying all the strips I could find where Calvin gives his dad a hard time (and sometimes the other way around) and pasting them into a giant card. There are still various "Calvinisms" in our family banter, exchanges like, "What do you say?" followed by, "Sounds like a barge coming through!" or "While I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony."
The bedbug strip stayed up on the frig for years and years, through at least six moves, getting more yellowed and tattered as time passed. It never failed to bring a smile to my face. It has since disintegrated, no doubt - I think it's time to put up a new copy.

Glenalta and Sir John Downer.
Sir John Downer 1844- 1915 was Premier of South Australia from 1885-87 and again from 1892-93. Before entering politics he was a highly esteemed lawyer and barrister. He was first elected to the SA parliament in 1878. He was a staunch federalist and was elected to the constitutional writing committee for the proposed new federal national of Australia. He was partially responsible for an early draft of the Australian constitution which was rejected and rewritten by others in the 1890s. Once the Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901 Sir John Downer stood for federal parliament and was elected as one of the first Senators. He later served in the SA legislative Council until he died in 1915. Sir John Downer was born in Rosina Street Adelaide whilst his father was conducting a tailoring business there. He finished school in 1861 and began work as an articled law clerk. He was quickly recognised as an outstanding lawyer. He married a Mt Barker woman in 1871 and they lived in the Adelaide Hills. But his main residence was in the city near his work. In 1880 he purchased as grand house in Pennington Terrace North Adelaide which is now St Marks College of the University of Adelaide. In the same year 1880 he bought part of the late Sir Richard Hanson’s (another SA Premier) Woodhouse estate near Stirling. Here Sir John Down had Glenalta house erected in 1880. Glenalta at that stage was a wattle and daub cottage built in 1863. That original building seems no longer to exist. Downer called his new estate Glenalta and his single storey house was attached to the original cottage. After his death (1915) his son Fred Downer added a second floor to Glenalta House in 1935. Given that Sir John Downer lived at Glenalta House from December to April of each year it is possible that he drafted his early version of the Australian constitution in Glenalta House as the meeting to look at drafts of the constitution was held in March 1891 in Sydney.
Sir John Downer planted the garden at Glenalta from 1880 around a magnificent stand of six very old poplar trees. He planted oaks, elms and other English trees and shrubs in a terraced garden around a small creek. Henry Rymill later acquired the house and the gardens were extended by him before his death in 1971. Henry Rymill married Alleyne Downer in the 1920s and later lived at Glenalta from 1942 onwards when Alleyne’s father Fred Downer, the owner of Glenalta House, died. Henry Rymill was Chief Commissioner of Scouts in SA in the 1930s. The current owners of Glenalta acquired the house in 1988 by which time the garden was run down, overgrown and in need of care and restoration which has been lavished on the original bones of the Downer and Rymill garden. The lake was created and the gardens are now watered in dry summer weather and new plantings of European trees have been added to the landscape of box hedges, perennial borders, fern groves and rhododendron dells.
This is a photograph from the annual BHAA Government Services/Social Protection Group's 5 Mile Road Race took place on Tuesday 27th May 2013 at 20:00 in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland. The course is a fast flat course which begins on the Dunboyne-Maynooth Road between the two entrances to Dunboyne Castle Estate. The race then proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction back to the Dunboyne Athletic Club on the Rooske Road in Dunboyne. The race reaches higher standards with every passing year. Paul Gorey and his team of volunteers must be given great credit for putting on such a wonderful race event. Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs taken at the finish line area of the race. There are also some races of the buildup and the start of the race. The full set is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157644466844507/
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 500 participants .
Weather: A bright sunny evening with little breeze
Course: This course is fully left handed with very little in the way of inclines. Good road surface. These are nice narrow country roads with shelter provided by mature hedgerows. This year the race finished with 3/4 of a lap of the Dunboyne AC track.
Refreshments: Lots and lots as is the tradition with BHAA Events - served outside the scouts hall at the track.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Possible location of 1 A.C.C.S., 19 May to late July 1917.
On the night of 3-4 July 1917, enemy aircraft attacked 1ACCS, where Staff Nurse Pratt was on duty and attending a patient. A bomb exploded near the tent, wounding Staff Nurse Pratt, who continued to attend her patient with a level of coolness and bravery that was said to set a conspicuous example to the patients and others. She was later admitted to hospital and underwent surgery on her wounded right shoulder and lung. The following day, Staff Nurse Pratt was promoted to the rank of Sister; she was awarded her Military Medal for “bravery in the field” on 19 October 1917, one of seven nurses to receive this award during the First World War. - AWM

Tuesday 25 October 2011 - Day 04 - Trek Shivalaya to Bhandar
Our first day's trekking was hard and hot. Lots of uphill straight from the start, and we left Shivalaya early to cover as much of the climb as possible before the sun hit the mountainside. We followed the local trail past family farms and rice fields, skirting stone walls and sporadically crossing the "main" road that has been bull dozered through to Bhandar. For the most part though we were on earth trails with the occasional cobbled stretches, strolling through woods in the higher reaches.
Late morning, as we climbed higher up into the hills, we chanced upon a farm where we were treated to a reviving cuppa... and then it transpired that we were at the famous Thodung cheese factory. More of a large wooden farmhouse set over a ground floor dairy and cool room than a factory, we were treated to an animated tour by the farmer and a slice of his comte-like cheese. Wonderful.
Duly revived, Daa Waa headed straight for the silica dazzle of the "main road" and it was downhill all the way to the pass at Deurali (2,705m/8,875ft) where we found ourselves face to face with a couple of groups of trekkers on their way home. Having put in our orders for lunch (Dal Bhat) at the High Land Sherpa Guest House & Restaurant, we downed a vitamin-C-and-sugar-tastic mug of orange Tang each and cooed over the family (goat) kids. Our "healthy glows" (red faces) having subsided, Hazel and I wandered along the mani walls and around the chortens that local families have built at the pass before lunching under blue skies in the company of a lovely Kiwi-Brit couple who we ended up seeing lots of over the next few days.
We departed Deurali on the steep path down towards Bhandar / Chyangma. The descent provided gorgeous views out over the plateau, dotted with farms and settlements - and the route ahead. Whilst it was hard on the knees, it looked like harder work for those going in the other direction! Not long after we had levelled off on the plateau we had some excitement when Daa Waa spotted a snake slithering up a field wall, and shortly afterwards, having passed a couple of very overgrown mani walls and the Chyangma Orgyen Choling Monastery with its twin stupas, we reached Bhandar.
We stayed at the Shobha, one of the lodges in the paved stretch of the trail that marks the centre of Bamti Bhandar (at least as far as trekkers go) and in the time between our arrival and afternoon tea we made use of the lodge's pride and joy - an electric shower. The water flow was more of a dribble, but it did the job and it was a clean and fresh pair of young ladies who headed back out to explore the bright lights of Bhandar before darkness fell. We strolled past farms and fields, and back at the gompa prayer flags fluttered frantically as grey clouds glowered overhead.
In the late afternoon our splendid isolation ended as a group of mature French trekkers appeared, and settled in one of the lodges on the other side of the pavement, gathering tables and chairs to enjoy the last of the day's sunshine with a beer on the terrasse, Bhandar-style.
After dinner by candlelight (the local electricity supply having cut out, as seemed fairly frequent occurrence) we headed up the steep stairs to bed. We both slept well, ignoring the scuffles and frantic squeaks which I think heralded one of more of the local mouse/rat populating coming to a sticky end courtesy of the lodge cat.....

During late August/early September Reading Buses has a Wright Streetdeck on trial, operating over route 17. The bus is being assessed for its innovative features which include glazed staircase panels and a part-glazed upper-deck roof. It is seen at the Tilehurst terminus during the afternoon of Tuesday 1st September, with the Water Tower that has given its name to the former Bear Inn (and the terminus) dominating the scene.
*************************************
Reading Buses has been trialling a number of demonstrators during the Summer of 2015, to assess possible vehicle types and specifications going forward. Most notable was the use of a Transport for London New Routemaster during the latter part of August, but the trials have also featured two Mercedes Citaro demonstrators of different lengths, and an Optare Metrocity.
Ingham, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire.
Ingham is written in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Ingeham". Possible etymologies are "homestead or village of a man called Inga" or "home of the Inguiones" (an ancient Germanic tribe).
Ingham is situated 7 miles (11 km) geographically north from the centre of Lincoln, and on the B1398 road, which runs parallel to the main A15 (Ermine Street). The parish boundary borders with Fillingham two field widths to the north. It follows the hedge line and a small drain eastwards to Middle Street (B1398), which it follows to the south for 110 yards (100 m), then follows the southern edge of Hare's Wood eastwards, north of Park Farm; the airfield is still there. This is the site of the former RAF Ingham. It follows the southern edge of a small wood at Ancholme Head (in Fillingham), the source of the River Ancholme just west of the A15. It meets West Firsby at the A15 (Ermine Street) which it follows to the south, and meets Spridlington.
North of the curve in the A15, it follows Ingham Lane to the west. It crosses Middle Street at Ingham Cliff, near Ingham Cliff Farm, where there is a weather radar station. To the north along the B1398 is the Windmill public house. The boundary follows the B1398 down Lincoln Cliff, over the crossroads along the road to where it crosses a small drain. It follows the drain northwards past Coates Gorse. To the west is Stow and the Vale of Trent (Trent Valley).
In the Second World War the village became home to RAF Ingham, a satellite airfield of the Royal Air Force base at Hemswell. Ingham consisted of three grass runways, and three Polish Squadrons (including No. 300 Polish Bomber Squadron) from 1st Polish Wing were based here, joined later by No. 199 Squadron RAF. In 1944 it was renamed RAF Cammeringham. The station effectively became unusable by 1945 as the short grass runways had deteriorated. After the war, demobilised Polish aircrew lived here.
North-east of the village, on opposite sides of the B1398, is the distribution centre of an outdoor toy manufacturer on the former airfield, and Lincolnshire Rescue Kennels.
So I honestly think Gale is one of the best male dolls Mattel has produced in the last 5 years since his sculpt is pretty nice and the screening is great too so I’m pretty chuffed @elizabethplaid gifted him to me. But for some reason his head just looks really big on the pivotal Ken body. So I’m trying to see if he looks good on other bodies or not.
He’s currently on my Declan Wake’s body since I find Declan’s head to be too small for the neck, but I’m not sure if I’m really feeling Gale on this body. It’s definitely more expressive and proportional for Gale but…. yeah.
Members of No. 2 Airfield Defence Squadron (2AFDS) performing a patrol to search for possible enemy threats to RAAF Base Tindal
Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) are currently assessing Physical Employment Standards (PES) for Ground Defence Officers (GRDEFO) and Airfield Defence Guards (ADG). These standards will provide an objective quantification of the physical requirements necessary for GRDEFO and ADG to perform their roles. By establishing standards and assessments that are directly linked to job requirements, the PES project will ensure soldiers are physically proficient and conditioned to the demands of their employment and as a result reduce workplace injury part of this assessment was held during Exercise Nomad.
Exercise Nomad conducted at RAAF Base Tindal is the 2AFDS baseline activity that is conducted each year. The exercise is normally conducted in two phases, a training phase where RFLT's refresh their individual and collective AFDS skills. This includes a 48hour period where sections complete 3 x Battle Exercise's to demonstrate their ability to apply AFDS battle skills and drills in support of airbase operations. Phase two of the exercise is focused on 2AFDS conducting an Early Entry Operation to secure, clear and screen an airbase IOT support the generation of airpower. On completion of EX NOMAD, 2AFDS will have achieved an Operational Level of Capability at the individual level and Directed Level of Capability at Sqn level.
Another important aspect of EX NOMAD is the integration of CSG specialist elements into AFDS operations. This year we were able to further develop specific operating procedures with 87 SQN elements, MWDT's, Explosive Detection Dogs Teams, and EODT's. Until employed within that tactical environment AFDS CDR's never fully appreciate the capability these specialist offer, nor understand their limitations.

Unfortunately this is but a temporary strategy owing to the relatively short time frame before the large sandbags break down (or are vandalised) as can be seen in these images.
More and more sandbag revetment has become necessary at Belongil with expensive ugly hard rock revetment ultimately required in some beachfront sections as property has increasingly become seriously threatened by storm surges.
Some of these images show evidence of vandalism where the bags have been cut. This has caused many of the sandbags to collapse. Attempts to repair the bags has been largely ineffective and ultimately an untidy mess is the end result.
Retreat scenario decisions may ultimately be required here at Belongil as insurance companies, coastal Councils, State and Federal Governments increasingly walk away from responsibility for property protection arising from climate change induced coastal erosion.

was not one of the results I expected from my first experiments using the Slit-Scan app; but this goes a long way to explaining how the missus talked with me in my office while I was out taking these photos; and how Santa gets his rounds done so quickly. Needless to say this section of the Springwater Corridor is now closed while scientists from around the world study the area; but I'm pretty sure that it's not the local nor the locomotive, but the Slit-Scan app that deserves credit here, a hypothesis I'm confident that further testing will prove correct.

Yesterday the FedEx man came to the door and brought me a copy of Better Photography of India which featured one of my photographs as a spread to an excellent article on photographing rainbows. The magazine is excellent and the printing is the finest of any photomagazine I know. It's an honor to be featured in such an excellent publication.
On Friday, my daughter and I hang a show at the Mirth Cafe. Once again, I'm very happy to be asked to show at this very special restaurant.
In another milestone, I've reached 175,000 views.
For me, these positive developments mean one thing - it is time to give thanks to some very special people...
I enrolled in Flickr several years ago on the eve of a life and death operation. The healing process was aided beyond words by the wonderful support of my dear Flickr contacts. I don't receive hundred's of comments on my photos, but my contacts who visit my stream are superbly talented. Seeing your work and getting your support has been so important. Thank you, dear friends... As soon as the show goes up, I'll have time to visit again!
That I can have a show with my daughter - who is superbly talented and has far greater potential - is a great joy. The son who I live with will help hang the show. He is the sweetest teenage boy ever and he has been a rock for me during times of illness and difficulty. Thank you dear family.
One more thanks for Nancy - the woman I searched for through my entire lifetime. At last I know that true romance is possible in this world.
Thanks also for reading this gushy, overly long comment! ;-)
