A full day of photography and I decided to take a denture to see Mt. Saint Helen’s. I arrived just after a early winter storm when the light got nice.

From the Liverpool Daily Post (a sadly missed quality regional newspaper) , Dated Monday 19th September 2005, an article reporting on the previous Saturdays trip from Liverpool to York, which featured 71000 ‘ Duke of Gloucester' only between Liverpool and Stalybridge, being failed on arrival there due to a faulty valve. From here 66081 took the train to York, but to quote later from the piece (which wouldn’t fit on the scanner) –
“A preserved veteran diesel locomotive Class 40,No.40165 (that’s what was printed!) was obtained to return the special train from York. By lucky chance, the locomotive was built at the Vulcan Foundry, Newton le Willows in 1960. Prof Toyne, a dedicated rail enthusiast said – Triumph was snatched from the jaws of defeat. We left Liverpool hauled by the ultimate British steam locomotive and returned pulled by one of the first diesels to replace steam. Nothing could have been more symbolically appropriate”.
Managed to get to York for the return, probably the last time various cranks have dropped what they were doing at short notice to chase some unplanned 40 mileage.
And again

post it,
at home at work and often - they are great tools, but you have to stay organized and structured in your way of working (for me at least) otherwise you'll end up like one of my earlier collegues...he had approx. 60-70 post its all over his pc, his monitor, his desk...then things start to slip....

Depending on which you think is the front and the back! :-)
Contains a concertinaed strip of double sided (picture on both sides) postcards. Age is unknown (to me, likely not to wintorbos) but some have cars on, so I think it the late 1910's or early 1920's. Cards appear to be Valentines (the manufactuer not the day)!

We offer educational opportunities ranging from short term language courses to under and Post Graduate University Courses.We work with students of any age (where practical) from young to the very mature and everything in between.
We especially offer language courses to, all businesses and people, Including, Russian, China, Japanese, French, Spanish ,German, Italian and Arabic.
Language Courses can be combined with other activities too; Horse Riding Golf, Soccer Camps, Business Visits, Scuba Diving, Sailing – even Flamenco, and not just the dance, the whole culture. Maybe you fancy Italian Cooking in Tuscany ? Whatever it is, we have it.
Maybe you’d like to take a group on a short break abroad, experience the culture and learn the language. I can put special bespoke packages together for you.
In terms of education for those aged 18-25, apart from University Course, we can offer business courses, vocational courses and even Pilot school. Some may even like to enrol at a Film academy.
How about the High School experience of a life time ? A year at sea. We offer an onboard education package that allows your child to visit much of the world, either over a 3 month or a full educational year. Learning at Sea, learning not only their normal school curriculum but also valuable life skills such as leadership and team activity. What could be better?
In short no matter what it is, the chances are, I may have been there already, if not I have in excess of a thousand contacts across the world, whom I have personally met over the past 7 years and whom I can arrange anything from telephone interviews to escorted campus tours with.
In every event the best thing to do in the first instance is contact me by email and arrange a brief meeting/telephone call.
Please view our web site at www.studentabroad.co.uk to gain ideas but as you can imagine there are too many opportunities to list.
In short we can offer you:
Business and Language Courses
Summer Camps
University Courses
High School Abroad Opportunities
Vocational and Internship (limited) Opportunities
Fees:
For short term language courses, I am paid by commission directly from the course provider and do not ask any fee from my client.
However, with University Course’s I ask for a one off fee of £500 per student before we start work on finding the placement for the student. None the less that £500 is incredible good value for money, as following advice, I will help you make up to a maximum of three applications and once you start your course, I am there for advice whenever you need it.
What I arrange for you
With short term language courses , I arrange the course, any extra’s like activities, Airport Pick Up’s and Accommodation. I do not arrange travel from the UK such as flights.
I do not arrange jobs or alternative accommodation for long term students.
For high school and university, accommodation where appropriate and course, I do not arrange activities unless it is a special request and essential to the education. I do not act as Guardian, if required I can sign post to a local service.
I can offer support with visa applications but cannot be responsible for approval or otherwise.
My Tip for University
Go to Canada, the East Coast has a low cost of living and a high quality of education based on very British traditions. The life there is great too plus it is only a 5 hour flight, you could not get to London that quickly !
If you’d like to discuss any of this, please contact me.

Crews were installing post-tensioning strand in the pontoon tendons on Feb. 24, 2014. These tendons will be tightened to add strength to the pontoons.
Construction crews are underway on the fourth cycle of SR 520 bridge pontoons in Aberdeen. In this cycle, crews will build six total pontoons:
• Four longitudinal pontoons (360 ft. x 75 ft. x 29 ft.)
• Two supplemental stability pontoons (98 ft. x 60 ft. x 28 ft.)
I loved my new heart header on the blog so much, I decided it needed to become my new branding. I have never been 100% happy with my three petal logo i've gone with for so long, but this finally feels right. I love the colors and the happiness of the hearts. I am forever drawing hearts, for as long as I can remember, so why not have it be part of my crafting brand? I ordered some new post cards for little love notes in my Etsy salese and some new business cards. I'm particularily happy with myself for finding a way to include all of what I do on one easy to read line: "Patterns + Quilting + Handmade".
Poster triptych (or single poster now) for hank's class based on the flannery o'connor concept that "everything that rises must converge."
Posters based on african-americans turning a pejorative used against them into a word of power, when the actual truth is that there is no power in changing the word because it is still an identity trapped in the original reference to the race. If we are to find our own identity, we must let go of that word altogether.
DuBois idea: "Double consciousness, a consciousness that yields him no TRUE self-consciousness, but only lets him see himself through the revelation of the other world. It is a peculiar sensation this double consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of the world that looks on i amused contempt and pity"
