LNW finery such as the bridge and brickwork will presumably sadly be lost when Morley station is relocated some 75m east during the course of 2023.
TPE's 185110 speeds through the station and is about to head into the 3km long Thomas Grainger built Morley Tunnel on 19th December 2022 with 1P72 1151 Saltburn to Manchester Airport.
The latest project on the home front. Joists have the cross pieces pocketed in as the decking will run in the same direction as joists. While end in joists run "wild" since it will be trimmed to a curve front.

Entabeh nari mata kena tertunduh, aku nimaisa turang tangis teriluh.

This is the beginning of my custom Liv doll, Saoirse Daley. I put 8mm acrylics in her and tried to remove the makeup. Only thing that budged, however, is the lips. I need that eye makeup off! Any tips? Also I added freckles, though not very well. The sealer I use is shiny....
Very in-progress painting but something I've been working on. Cannot decide if I want to continue or hate it. A re-do of a self-p I did a few years ago based on a Jenny Saville portrait (http://psychskull.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/js1.jpg)
I have been working on multiple pieces at the same time for a while now. I think my brain just can't decide on one thing lately.
The drawing for this piece is on the wall to the left.
There’s been lots of progress at the site of the new Edmunds Elementary School since ground was broken just last spring. The red brick exterior has been growing as steadily as the youngsters that will fill it up when the 2013-14 school year begins next August. It looks smooth and bright; sturdy and promising – just like they do.
As the project moves toward the finishing touches stage Edmunds art teacher David Borzo got the idea that perhaps it’s time for the new building’s tenants to contribute something to its design. He devised a contest for the current 4th and 5th graders to craft a model for a piece of public art that will be on permanent display when the new Edmunds opens its doors, either inside or somewhere on the campus grounds.
There were 33 entries vying not only for the chance to be immortalized at the new school but also for $500 worth of prizes donated by the contest sponsors: Gateway Market, Science Center of Iowa, Des Moines Art Center, The Great Frame Up, Storied Gifts and the Edmunds Art Department. A panel of five judges made up of Edmunds staff and district administrators weighed the works against a range of criteria including concept, originality, artistic quality and overall message. Each of the artists presented their mock-up to the panel and the probing began: What does that represent? How did you come up with this idea? How big would this be? What materials would be used?
One bashful but talented girl literally stood behind her placard when she faced the judges, preferring to let her work speak for itself like Olympic figure skaters and gymnasts do. The lone abstract entrant explained the balance inherent in his vision of a pyramid adorned by three spheres. Opting for the team approach, three girlfriends took turns confidently describing the elements of their photographic collage.
Many of the designs in the gallery incorporated flags in recognition of all the different nationalities that comprise the Edmunds community. And Eddie, the school’s “wildcat” mascot who bears a striking resemblance to a lion, was also prominently featured.
When the creative dust was settled the results were these:
#1 / Stephanie Oliver, 5th grade, for her piece: The Arts at Edmunds. It honors the old school’s origins as an arts academy and the logo which represents a ballet shoe, a paintbrush and a treble clef. Stephanie cut up countless small pieces of colored paper for her model which she told the judges represent the colored glass that will be part of the finished product.
#2 / Ricco Kemp, Jr. 5th Grade, for his piece: Edmunds History. Ricco’s model was a sketch depicting a young boy reading a book about Edmunds. He imagined it as a piece of sculpture to be placed outside the main entrance.
#3 / Sofia Hassan, 5th Grade, for her Piece: Planet Edmunds. Sofia’s concept was a new world looming above the new Edmunds like a sun in the sky with a flag-waving Eddie peeking over the planetary curve.

The Progress of Rivers

The National Monument in Islamabad, Pakistan is a national monument representing the four provinces and three territories of Pakistan. After a competition among many renowned architects, Arif Masood’s plan was selected for the final design. The blooming flower shape of the monument represents Pakistan's progress as a rapidly developing country. The four main petals of the monument represent the four provinces (Balochistan, North West Frontier Province, Punjab, and Sindh), while the three smaller petals represent the three territories (Northern Areas, Azad Kashmir and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas). The Monument has been designed to reflect the culture and civilization of the country and depicts the story of the Pakistan Movement, dedicated to those who sacrificed themselves for future generations.
From air the monument looks like a star (center) and a crescent moon (formed by walls forming the petals), these represent the star and crescent on Pakistan's flag.
I have tried to present it in a different way and its so beautiful that in every shape it looks great.
Pandora has had the whole house available to her for a week now. My goal? To have her gain confidence interacting with humans, dogs, and cats. I've asked Kevin to give her treats intermittently. Kevin's not having as much success as I am. . . yet. Yesterday, I sat in a recliner in the cat room. Pandora hopped up on my lap to get a few treats. This morning she greeted me as I left the bedroom, obviously interested in more treats. She loved all over Gumbo (what's it with all the ladies being attracted to Gumbo?), purring up a storm asking for treats. I gave her a treat, pet her, gave her a treat, pet her, gave her a treat, pet her. Finally I lured her onto my lap again. She laid down purring, and I scritched around the ears. Ahhhhhhhh. . . then, of course, Pandora received another treat. Yep, progress. We'll have a setback next week when I have to take her in for booster vaccinations, but the retirement home is patient. However long it takes me to get her comfortable, they really want her. (Although I admit I have secretly wondered about Diamond going to the retirement home. . .)

The Center for American Progress Action Fund and Bucerius Law School, Germany, are pleased to have hosted a premiere transatlantic policy event featuring Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and Sigmar Gabriel, German Federal Minister for the Environment.
This event featured an open conversation between Senator Kerry and Minister Gabriel on climate change and the transition to a green economy, and a panel of American and German experts speaking on the role of economic growth and modernization in producing green jobs. The panel drew upon lessons that might be learned from Germany and the EU for the U.S. in shaping a green recovery in light of the need to forge an international agreement in response to climate change.
