I got changed round the back of Joe's, into my outfit, ready to face the war. When I got outside it seemed pretty quiet, but that was the problem, it's never quiet in New York. The streets were empty, only a few footsteps could be heard. Some people may like it like this, but I didn't, I could almost smell something bad was coming. Suddenly the sound of the very few footsteps couldn't be heard anymore, instead there was a scream. With out a thought I ran to the scream. I kept on running, faster and faster, hoping that who ever was screaming wouldn't get hurt. As I got closer the scream, it sounded different, it was an alarm and it was coming from one of Stark's storage warehouses. "Lets rock and roll!" I said to myself whilst ripping out my claws and sprinting towards the nearest window. I leaped straight through the window, getting many cuts from the glass, that should heal quickly. There were two thugs with cheap guns, their faces were filled with shock and their hands were too sweaty to fire their guns. They had hostages and many of Stark industry's weapons. As I took care of the thugs I looked to the left of me, there was a door, wide open, I could of easily come in through there and not caused any damage. But that wouldn't of been as fun.

 

Hope you like it :D Credit for broken glass goes to Brick_Head :)

News of the day :

 

End of course for Banco Popular. The sixth Spanish bank barely escaped bankruptcy, thanks to its acquisition for 1 euro symbolic by the Santander group. The announcement made Wednesday morning puts an end to weeks of suspense, during which the management of the troubled bank sought a solution to solve its liquidity problems. The situation had become unsustainable, while Banco Popular was caught in a stock market spiral that had made it lose last week, half of its capitalization on the Madrid Stock Exchange, from 2.7 billion euros to 1.4 billion euros.

 

Fin de parcours pour Banco Popular. La sixième banque espagnole échappe de justesse à la faillite, grâce à son rachat pour 1 euro symbolique par le groupe Santander. L'annonce faite mercredi matin met fin à des semaines de suspense, durant lesquelles la direction de la banque en difficulté a cherché une solution pour résoudre ses problèmes de liquidité. La situation était devenue insoutenable, alors que Banco Popular était pris dans une spirale boursière qui lui avait fait perdre, la semaine dernière, la moitié de sa capitalisation à la Bourse de Madrid, passant de 2,7 milliards d'euros à 1,4 milliard d'euros.

Taken during a photowalk thru St. Johns are in Portland.

 

This was the first photoshoot that my son attended with me. Spent 4 hours walking up and down hills in 90 degree weather.

 

He was a trooper and took a few good shots himself with his camera.

 

After the photoshoot, he took a minute to relax and I took this shot.

My nephew Marian (4) has a problem. The beer cap is too tough for him. You can guess from his expression how hard is he pushing to open the bottle of Budweiser. But since he is rather stubborn he finally made it. Yes, "if you want you can". Taken with Zuiko OM 50/1,8, aperture either 1,8 or 2, ambient light, cropped in photoshop.

A common problem for students studying health and social care related subjects in HE is that they can access the web on any number of devices which do not necessarily have automatic syncing of bookmarked web pages enabled. There is also a related problem of sharing, as well as discovering relevant online resources. A potential solution to these problems is a social bookmarking application such as Yahoo!'s “delicious”. Results from previous studies using this service suggest that social bookmarking shares similar features to more traditional indexing systems but also contains extra dimensions such as tags related to time. We present the initial results from a study into social bookmarking that has encouraged three groups, containing over thirty health and social care students, to utilise delicious in their everyday practice and to create a tagged repository of resources that are relevant to their courses. We will discuss the preparation of introductory materials as well as specific problems faced by health and social care students in using Web 2.0 applications. We will also present the results of analyses into the patterns of tagging and bookmarking activity that have emerged in addition to the types of tags that are being used.

Neither G.Skill nor ASRock would fess up to my problems, mis-leading me to spend time & money returning my motherboard, which, if you are cynical, requires the extra precaution of proving your CPU socket pins were not bent. Because sometimes motherboard warranters refuse to repair the problem because it is user error. So I got to use my USB microscope that my sister got me from my wishlist for Christmas for an actual live-administrative purpose: Documenting that my pins were not, in fact, bent.

 

But it turns out the problem was the motherboard has requiresments for RAM configuration that neither G.Skill nor ASrock new. Neither manufacturer new! I'm incredibly unimpressed with both, and will go out of my way -- even paying more money -- to not buy products from ASRock or G.Skill ever again. And that's why I'm tagging the RAM even though it's not actually in the picture -- because it's part of the story here.

BACKSTORY: Building my new computer! We decided to name it Thailog. Thailog ("Goliath" spelled backwards) is the evil twin of Goliath from the cartoon Gargoyles. Carolyn's computer is named after Goliath, so it just makes sense that Clint's computer is the evil twin of Carolyn's± computer. A quick summary of the computer's specs is: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz with an Arctic Freezer I30 cooler on a ASRock X99 WS EATX motherboard with 24G of Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2400mHz RAM, a Radeon R9 270 video card, and a Crucial M500 240GB M.2 SSD...all inside a massive NZXT Phantom 820 case. It was a $1560 build, summarized on my blog at clintjcl.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/journal-hardware-purcha...

Way too early in the morning Wednesday, March 29, at the Rochester, New York Amtrak Station, on my way to Georgia to start walking north on the Appalachian Trail.

 

The station is named for Representative Louise M. Slaughter, who fought for years to get a decent train station in Rochester.

 

Mark Thomas selected "stress" as the theme for last week's WeeklyFotoChallenge on deviantArt. Stress is getting to the train station about 5:00 AM just as the attendants are on the phone with Amtrak finding out the train you were planning to board has been canceled due to mechanical problems. Thankfully they were able to get me set up for the Thursday morning departure. I went home and back to bed.

A rather topical stencil that popped up recently just near work.

I wasn't even looking for trouble. I was just taking some pictures in the area of 26th & California, around the criminal courts building and the Cook County Jail. Nevertheless, here comes a group of demonstrators and they're heading straight for me and my camera.

 

About 15 people in total, they claim to represent three different groups. In other words, they share similar concerns, but advocate different solutions. No problem, I take a few shots - since I'm here anyway - and return to my original mission. Since I'm blind as a bat to begin with, there really isn't any point to even try and engage in a meaningful dialogue when I can't even read the message on their banner.

 

Once I'm back home and sort my images on the big screen, I must confess, I can hardly believe my eyes...the solution to all the problems we've been struggling with for years on end, in six simple words: "Black Community Control of the Police."

 

So, what could that possibly entail? How would that work? Is the Black Community going to control all the police officers everywhere in the city, or just the ones in the Black Community? Are White and Hispanic officers allowed to enter the Black Community, or just pass through, with special permission perhaps?

 

Will White Police Officers be allowed to arrest Black offenders, or is that also up for discussion? Do you still call 911 if you live in the Black community, or is there going to be a new number for those residents? Are Black officers going to handle all cases of Black-on-Black Crime, including the hundreds of Black-on-Black homicides that keep stacking up year after year?

 

If a Black offender is arrested in a White neighborhood, will he be extradited to the Black Community so he can be tried in front of a jury of his peers? Who's going to call the shots in neighborhoods that are racially diverse, like Hyde Park, Pilsen, and Rogers Park?

 

So many questions, so many stumbling blocks, and we've just begun to scratch the surface. Obviously, whoever came up with this idea, hasn't thought things all the way through.

I know how gratifying it can be to come up with a catchy phrase, but it's going to take a little more to come up with real solutions. After all, if there's fifteen of you and you cannot even agree on a single strategy or goal, how is your plan going to work for two-and-a-half million Chicagoans, including the roughly one million people who make up the Black Community?

 

The Chicago Police Department has been pretty inclusive for many decades now, but prior to Harold Washington's election as Mayor, it wasn't easy to move up through the ranks if you were African American. Equal Opportunity for all has continued to improve,. and will continue as a work in progress - in perpetuity - as it should.

 

Like all major institutions that have been round for a century or more, the Chicago Police Department has struggled with inclusion issues based on national origin, race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation and identity.

 

This process will continue, as the individuals who make up the Department continue to evolve, and the Department will definitely not return to the dark ages, and allow itself to be fragmented along racial lines, even though some would view this as progress: some form of self-determination, Home Rule, or Black Nationalism on a smaller scale.

 

Not all that long ago, if you were an African American patrolman in certain Police Districts, you'd be guaranteed a Beat in an all-Black neighborhood. Those days are over now, and we're not going back. Such practices were considered discriminatory at the time, and many fought long and hard to end this form of segregation. We are not going back to those days...

 

To paraphrase our beloved President in one of his most famous speeches, "We are not the White Police Department, and we are not the Black Police Department:

We are the Chicago Police Department!

While on the subject of Tyres this was the opposite of deflated!

I was at work last week and had just coupled up to one of our trailers in the yard and started to do my daily walk round check for defects on the trailer and just couldn't believe my eyes.

This trailer had been dropped in the yard by a night trunker without any problems and while parked up the inner tyre casing had given way and let air escape causing the tyre to expand by the air being trapped outside the casing.

When the fitter came he had to drill a hole in the tyre to release the trapped air. We were both expecting the tyre to explode!!.

A beautiful historic Scottish Fishing bay dating back to the 1700's, under duress due to problems between the "Owner" and local fishermen who have utilised this historic harbour as they and their fore fathers have done for hundreds of years .

 

I revisited today Tuesday 27th August 2019 , I was disappointed to see concrete barriers blocking access to cars and fishing boats , sad circumstances indeed , though I still managed to capture as much of the bays charm a I could , its ongoing battle and new concrete blocks preventing access made me feel unhappy and sad, any ways I have pasted some of my previous comments and news items reference this pathetic situation below for your perusal, I am on the side of the fishermen , its a sad tale indeed.

 

Check my previous posts in my Cove Bay folder for photos of the harbour in its glory days that I have taken over the years before this nonsense raised its ugly head.

 

Previous Posts

 

I love this bay, its a beautiful tranquil place, however after reading news reports on a court judgement 13/7/2018 forcing the fisher men to remove their boats within 28 days it saddened me, hence I made a trip today Friday 13th July 2018 to capture the views and scenery before this unpopular ruling is implemented, what a sad situation indeed, I have included the news report on the legal wrangle at the end of this description.

 

Cove is a 20 minute drive from my home in Aberdeen Scotland, it was a pleasure to visit today and capture the tranquility that it presented.

 

Scattered across the harbour are stones with various sealife characters carved into them.

 

Cove Bay is a suburb on the south-east edge of Aberdeen, Scotland.

 

Today Cove is home to over 7000 people. It is a popular residential location owing to its extremely village-like status.

 

It is a quiet suburb just at the edge of the City and in 2015 won the Silver award for Scotland in bloom. Nearby Altens and Tullos Industrial Estates, affording ample employment opportunities.

 

History

 

Cove Bay is situated to the east of the ancient Causey Mounth, which road was built on high ground to make passable this only available medieval route from coastal points south from Stonehaven to Aberdeen.

 

This ancient trackway specifically connected the River Dee crossing (where the Bridge of Dee is located) via Portlethen Moss, Muchalls Castle and Stonehaven to the south.

 

The route was that taken by William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal and the Marquess of Montrose, who led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the battle of the Civil War in 1639.

 

Cove Bay was a village in the extreme north-east corner of Kincardine, governed from Stonehaven, until 1975, when it was added to the City of Aberdeen. Though simply referred to as Cove, in the 19th and early 20th centuries it was known as The Cove, becoming Cove Bay around 1912.

 

Industry

 

Cove has been noted for industries such as granite, which was quarried in several locations to the south of the village. Owing to its close-grained texture, Cove granite was one of the hardest in north-east Scotland and proved highly resistant to frost, making it ideal for causeway stones used in the construction of roads. It was widely exported to cities in England, including Billingsgate Market in London.

 

Fishing

The village itself sprung up around the fishing industry, with the boats berthed on a shingle beach, a gap in the rocks that afforded a natural harbour. During this time, it is estimated that approximately 300 people lived in the area. In the mid 19th century the fishing was at its height, which, over years, has included cod, haddock, salmon, herring and shellfish. The piers and breakwater were constructed in 1878. At the end of World War I the fishing began to decline. At present only a couple of boats pursue shellfish on a part-time basis.

 

Between 1894 and 1937, Cove also housed a fishmeal factory, the Aberdeen Fish Meal Factory, which was located at the edge of the cliffs. It produced quality manure which was exported to both Europe and America. It became locally known as "the stinker" because of the processing odour, which was highlighted by the Aberdeen entertainer Harry Gordon in a parody entitled A Song of Cove.

 

Amenities

Retail

 

Cove has just had a brand new Co-operative built just off of Earnshugh Circle.

To the west of Loirston Road is the Cove Shopping Centre, which overlooks Loirston Primary School. This houses a pharmacist, the Wee China Chinese takeaway/Chip shop, Ruby Tuesdays beauty salon and the Harr Rock cafe (Cove's second).

 

Within the new development of cove a local Sainsbury's has opened. There is also the Harr Rock Cafe (the first one), a hairdressers and a gift shop within the new development.

 

There are also 2 RS McColl newsagents. One located at Bervie Brow in Altens, and a second located on the corner of Loirston Road and Cove Road which also houses a Post Office.

 

Hospitality

 

The Cove Bay hotel is located on Colsea Road. There is also The Aberdeen Altens Hotel in Altens, which has 216 bedrooms, making it the largest of the three Thistle Hotels in Aberdeen.

 

There is also a pub, the Langdykes which now has an Indian restaurant situated inside called The Curry lounge which you can sit in or take away.

 

Transport

 

Bus services to and from Cove and the wider area of Aberdeen are available. These are run by First Aberdeen with the numbers 3 (to Mastrick) and the 18 to Dyce, via Kincorth. Stagecoach also cover cove partially, with numbers 7A & 8 (Both to the City Centre).

 

Healthcare

Cove Bay has its own medical centre, the Cove Bay Medical Centre. It was originally located on Catto Walk, but moved to a new facility off Earns Hugh Road. Cove Dental Care has since moved into the old surgery building.

 

Sport

Cove is currently home to two football teams: Cove Rangers, who currently play in the Highland Football League, they temporarily play in Harlow Park, Inverurie, as their old home Allan park was demolished to make way for housing. Cove Thistle, who hold amateur status. Sunday amateur team Cove Revolution folded in 2010.

 

There are also many youth teams in the area that are run by Cove Youth FC. The Cove Youth FC area SFA credited community club, organizing players from 6 years old up to 19 years old. They also have a girls section. The Cove Community Football Trust is run by Cove Rangers FC, Cove Thistle FC and Cove Youth FC.

 

Other Amenities

A state-of-the-art library was recently built between Loirston Primary School and the Cove Shopping Centre. There are blueprints for a local sports centre to also be built in the near future.

 

Education

Cove has two primary schools, Charleston Primary School and Loirston Primary School. Most secondary pupils attend the nearby Kincorth Academy, but some choose to go to Portlethen Academy.

 

Future Developments

Aberdeen Gateway[edit]

Construction on a new Aberdeen Gateway industrial development began in 2008. It will see new offices and industrial units built to the south of the village. Current tenants at the site include National Oilwell Varco (NOV), Driving Standards Agency and Hydrasun. A Community football pitch is also inlcluded within the development.

 

Cove Academy

Plans for a secondary school in Cove have now been approved and will be situated alongside Wellington Road. It is thought that once this is built pupils from Cove, Torry as well as Kincorth will attend this school.

 

The Legal Wrangle - Landowner V Fishermen - Judgement 13/7/18

  

Fishermen told to move boats from Cove Bay after legal dispute

 

Fishermen have been told to move their boats from an Aberdeen bay after a long-running dispute.

Several fishermen were fighting an eviction order on behalf of landowner Pralhad Kolhe at Cove Bay, where they had been fishing for many years.

In a written judgement, a sheriff has given them 28 days to move their boats and equipment from Mr Kolhe's land.

However, Sheriff Andrew Miller also ordered the removal of obstructions to vehicular access onto the pier.

 

The case was heard at Aberdeen Sheriff Court earlier this year.

 

One of the fisherman, Jim Adam, told a court he was "stunned" to receive a legal letter telling him to remove his boat.

 

He had been fishing from Cove Bay since 1966.

'We were hopeful'

 

The first day of the hearing heard the letter said the landowner, who lives in a house overlooking the harbour, was unable to make use of his land for amenity purposes and that he did not wish Mr Adam's vessel, or any other vessel, on his land.

 

In the ruling, Sheriff Miller also gave Mr Kolhe 28 days to remove the obstructions to vehicle access to the pier.

Mr Adam told BBC Scotland: "We are disappointed, we were hopeful.

 

"The good news is at least for the recreational folks they have got vehicle access."

 

News Report From P&J Aberdeen

 

A campaign group could use new powers to try to buy the land at the centre of a long-running dispute over access to Cove Harbour.

 

Councillors in Aberdeen agreed yesterday to investigate using the purchase powers contained in the Community Empowerment Scotland Act 2015 to finally resolve the stand-off.

 

The proposal was backed after Jim Adam, chairman of the Cove Fishermen Association, delivered an emotional plea to Aberdeen City Council’s petitions committee yesterday.

 

He outlined the group’s ongoing disagreement with the landowner, Pralhad Kohle, over vehicle access to the harbour-side.

 

Mr Adam highlighted the historical use of the harbour since the 1700s for fishing boats and recreational users, showing members photographs as evidence.

 

He also said the denial of emergency access to the harbour would create safety issues, and spoke of a strong community spirit in the village.

 

Cove Councillor Neil Cooney stated: “Boats have been fishing out of Cove since mediaeval times; we need to retain that heritage.”

 

Committee convener Alan Donnelly said: “You would think, with 11,000 signatures, that the owner would take it seriously and come along.”

 

He added: “We are moving today that the council refers the petition to the landowner, with the hope that they can come to an amicable solution.

 

“And request a report to the communities, housing and infrastructure committee to investigate the viability of the community to use the new Community Empowerment Scotland Act 2015 to purchase the land.”

 

Speaking afterwards Mr Adam said: “We are very encouraged by the support from the council. It’s very positive and has opened up a number of avenues, but we would like there to be an amicable solution.

 

“The Community Empowerment Act is a very useful tool, but it would be a last resort.”

 

Mr Kohle, who was not in attendance, owns a house overlooking the bay and some of the land at the harbour below.

 

Scotland’s First Minister has pledged to investigate the “suffering” faced by the Cove Harbour fishing community as a result of a devastating fire and a dispute with the landlord.

 

The first minister promised action after being warned the Scottish Government risked ignoring a group whose livelihoods had been threatened by recent events.

 

Ms Sturgeon said the government wanted “to do everything we possibly can” to help communities faced with difficulties after the Cove Harbour situation was raised with her.

 

In January, thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused when a fire, thought to be deliberate, destroyed five vessels, boating equipment, a shed and fishing gear.

 

The community has also been involved in a long-running battle with landowner Pralhad Kolhe, a plastic surgeon who had sought to evict the fishermen’s fleet of traditional vessels from the part of the harbour he owns.

 

The Cove Fisherman’s Association had a four-year legal battle with Mr Kolhe, and lost their fight to dock their small fleet of traditional vessels at a particular part of Cove Harbour last year.

 

Last August the remaining vessels at the site were finally moved from Mr Kolhe’s land to a small corner of the harbour. The judgement said access to the pier for walkers and vehicles should be maintained.

 

After January’s fire, North East MSP Liam Kerr wrote to Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing asking for support for the fishermen.

 

Mr Ewing replied say he was “very saddened” by the disaster but financial support would be “limited”.

 

Yesterday Mr Kerr raised Cove Harbour with Ms Sturgeon in the Scottish Parliament.

 

Mr Kerr told the first minister the Cove Harbour fishing community was “suffering” and faced “significant” legal costs.

 

The Tory MSP said the fishermen had requested a meeting with Mr Ewing “but to no avail”.

 

And he asked Ms Sturgeon to persuade Mr Ewing to meet the community and “not risk ignoring a community facing the loss of their livelihoods”.

 

The First Minister said: “Of course we want to do everything we possibly can to help any community experiencing difficulties.

 

“I am not aware beyond what the member has just said of the content of the correspondence to Fergus Ewing.

 

“But I am happy to give an undertaking to look into that and if Fergus Ewing thinks there is help the Scottish Government can offer – certainly to meet with those affected.”

 

A group of Aberdeen fishermen who lost a court case last year have been hit with a legal fee bill of around £45,000 – just days after their cherished vessels were destroyed in a malicious fire.

 

The Cove Fishermen’s Association was forced to move its boats at Cove Harbour last year after a court ruled in favour of landowner Pralhad Kolhe – who owns sections of the historic bay.

 

Mr Kolhe has been seeking to remove the small fleet of boats from his land, but in the months since the court’s decision, the fishermen have continued their activities by keeping their remaining vessels in a much smaller pocket of the harbour not under the landowner’s control, further away from the shoreline

I cut the fins off my Paterson Orbital. The result: no more vertical lines!!! It works, with no side effects thus far...

I had a good day with my dad today. We went to Home Depot to get some supplies for the storage area that I am going to build. I usually bring my camera with me, but I forgot this time and damn! I really should have brought it. We got to Home Depot and we were not looking forward to having my dad walk all through that store in the condition he's in. Not a problem! There is one of those electric scooters right there! We got the key, and after a little bit of a learning curve to get it moving, he was off. And man was he off. Once he got moving, we were trying to keep up with him. He spotted a worker in the orange apron, and drove right up to him. I thought he was going to run right into him, but he stopped about six inches from his shins. He didn't let a moment pass before asking him for a drill bit for a cement wall. After he got his bit, he led the way to the cut nails. These are the nails used to pound into cement. I grabbed the box off the shelf and he inspected them, felt the weight, looked at the bit. "Ok, these will do", and zoom, off he went to the lumber.

 

We ended up getting 2x3's instead of 2x4's. He got up, out of the scooter, and began inspecting the lumber for the good pieces. After getting 15 of them, we headed out.

 

It was really something to see his face light up once he was in the scooter. I could tell he was really worried about the pain of walking through the store. One he found out it wasn't going to hurt him, he gone like a kid entering Toy's R Us.

 

In this picture we are watching "This Movie is Not Yet Rated". I'm pretty much just getting this out of the way because he really wants me to watch "The Game", so I have to send this back A.S.A.P.

The case of the flip flop freedom break. He could not get that one to stay on for love nor money.
