A trial project has begun to determine how long a full restoration project will take to repair Gloucester Cathedral's medieval fan vaulted cloisters. The whole project could take years, or even decades.
I enjoyed watching the short lived "Starcom in the late 80's early 90's. I've wanted to build something along the lines of the Starmax Bomber for a while, and here are the results.
The front cockpit and pilot seating position isn't too good, due to the landing strut being right below.Overall this has a sleeker look than the cartoon and is missing a few of the features of the real one, but it was a fun build.
So, I haven't uploaded anything for 2 weeks. And I actually go to flickr and look at other people's pages, and then I look at my page (yes I look at my own photos), and I get disappointed "Oh yeah, I haven't uploaded anything new lately." I need to take more pictures.
So here is this. It's not anything super special... This is one of the few pictures I took the other day of some friends because we're creating a movie with government terms in it based on a TV show, and in our case, it is "Glee."
I've actually only seen 2 episodes before, and was a little confused as to how to act as Rachel, but I hope it all turns out good. The final project is due next Thursday, but I got a start on Glee-ifying the pictures.
I've been so lazy lately. Not only in picture taking, but on my homework and stuff... I'm ready for next semester, and then the end of the year and graduation already.
What do you think? Should the letters be a little smaller?
YAHOO! MAKES RP A MORE PURPLE PLACE
“Project Purple” Unveiled to Power Pinoy Passions
MANILA, May 26, 2009 - Yahoo! today demonstrates its place as a highly relevant and essential tool to power Pinoy passions by spearheading a social movement called Project Purple, to help Filipinos Find, Share and Connect to the things that matter most to them.
Project Purple powers Pinoy passions by encouraging Filipinos to be creative, innovative, express opinions and be heard and listened to in a fun and fresh way. It’s an effort that links to Yahoo!’s brand promise to transform the lives of people, societies and economies.
“Project Purple is a social movement and is open to everyone – online and offline. We are rallying Pinoys to be Purple and utilize the internet to aim higher,” said Jojo Anonuevo, general manager, Yahoo! Philippines. “The internet and Yahoo! have become essential services to people and a great equalizer for people to expand their horizons,” Anonuevo added.
Purple is Yahoo!’s corporate colour which reflects the company’s brand personality and philosophy of innovation, uniqueness, creativity and passion. With this campaign, Yahoo! aims to call out to all Filipinos who share this same vision to bring innovation and a positive change in the Philippines. As catalyst for Project Purple, Yahoo! empowers Filipinos through internet services that enable them to pursue their passions. Through a creative mix of online and offline initiatives, Yahoo! Project Purple brings awareness to the things Filipinos are passionate about and how they can be found on Yahoo!.
“The social movement started in the United States with the ‘Start Wearing Purple’ campaign. We are happy to bring this to the Philippines—the very first country outside the US where there are millions of creative, innovative and passionate Pinoys. Today, Yahoo! is excited to connect the country together in this campaign and we expect many more to join us in the coming weeks”, said Anonuevo.
Joining this social movement are top Philippine and global companies as well as popular Pinoy artists. These Purple partners include: Ayala Land, Inc., BlackBerry, Canon Philippines, Globe Telecom, Honda Philippines, Krispy Kreme Philippines, and Nestle Philippines. Participating local artists are: Aaron Roselo, Anjo Bolarda, Bjornik, Beth Parrocha-Doctolero, Christian Tamondong, Paul Imbong, and WeWillDoodle.
Here are some ways that Pinoys can be part of this social movement:

Support Pinoy Talent
Six local up and coming artists have submitted art pieces to Yahoo! for a soon-to-be-released limited edition art book “Purplescape.” It will showcase the perspectives of 20 graphic artists from Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa and the United Kingdom. These graphic artists were chosen based on the works they submitted in response to Yahoo!’s call for their individual renditions of a ‘purple world.’
Popular art-based performance group, WeWillDoodle, will create a one-of-a-kind art piece using the Honda Jazz as ‘canvas.’ The first of its kind, for the group and for Honda, the purple car is one of the must-have prizes in the online treasure hunt.

The Keep of the Castle.
The Mural Gallery.
This gallery, which looked down into the state apartments, round right round the building. It is hollowed out of the thickness of the wall and therefore greatly reduces the weight of the upper stories. At this height the walls do not need the massive strength of lower walls as they are out of reach of enemy battering rams.
The gallery had a number of uses and could be partitioned off to make extra rooms for guests, probably servants and less favoured visitors. When the great Hall was in use, guests could gather here to chat and look down on the festivities. This was also a good position for groups of minstrels to provide music for those below. Guidepost.
Rochester Castle.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rochester Castle ( [show location on an interactive map] 51°23′22″N 0°30′05″E / 51.38944°N 0.50139°E / 51.38944; 0.50139) stands on the east bank of the River Medway, in Rochester, Kent. It is one of the best-preserved castles of its kind in the UK. There has been a fortification on this site since Roman times (c AD43), though it is the keep of 1127 and the Norman castle which can be seen today. With the invention of gunpowder other types of defence became more appropriate, and the military centre of the Medway Towns moved to Chatham.
History
The Romans under Aulus Plautius built a fort on the site of the present castle to guard the important river crossing, where they constructed a bridge. There is evidence of an earth rampart later replaced by a stone wall. The timber piles of the Roman bridge were rediscovered during the construction of the present road bridge.This is also a well known spa nowadays but when it was first built it was a massive kitchen.
The Norman period commenced with the victory of William of Normandy at Hastings. He appointed his half brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, as Earl of Kent. Rochester's first Norman castle was probably of the motte and bailey type – a wooden tower and with palisades – on Boley Hill. This was the castle that was besieged by William Rufus during the Rebellion of 1088.
As a result of this siege, Bishop Gundulf was persuaded to build a stone castle with a curtain wall. It is not known how much, if any, of the surviving keep is his. Gundulf was a talented architect: he had started the building work on Rochester's Norman Cathedral in 1080, and was also responsible for the White Tower of the Tower of London.
Henry I granted the custody of the castle to the Archbishop of Canterbury, William de Corbeil. Corbeil started to build the great stone keep in 1127, much of which survives today. It is the tallest in England and has dominated the city and river crossing for 800 years.
The siege of 1215
In 1206, King John spent £115 on repairs to the castle and moat. He even preemptively held it during the year of the negotiations leading up to Magna Carta, but its terms forced him to hand it back into the custody of Stephen Langton, archbishop of Canterbury, in May 1215. The rebel barons then sent troops under William d'Aubigny to the castle, to whom its constable Reginald de Cornhill opened the castle's gates. During October, marching from Dover to London, John then found Rochester in his way and on 11 October began besieging it in person.
The rebels were expecting reinforcements from London but on hearing of the size of King John's army they turned back at Dartford. Robert Fitzwalter rode out to stop the king, fighting his way onto the bridge but eventually being beaten back into the castle. He also sacked the cathedral, took anything of value and stabled his horses in it, all as a slight to Langton. Orders were then sent to the men of Canterbury saying, "We order you, just as you love us, and as soon as you see this letter, to make by day and night, all the pickaxes that you can. Every blacksmith in your city should stop all other work in order to make them and you should send them to us at Rochester with all speed". Five siege engines were then erected and work carried out to undermine the curtain wall. By one of these means the king's forces entered and held the bailey in early November, and began attempting the same tactics against the keep, including undermining the south-east tower. The mine-roof was supported by wooden props, which were then set alight using pig-fat, on 25 November 1215 John had sent a writ to the justiciars saying "Send to us with all speed by day and night, fifty of the fattest pigs of the sort least good for eating so that we may bring fire beneath the castle" [2], causing the south-east tower of the keep to collapse. The rebels withdrew behind the keep's cross-wall but still managed to hold out. A few were allowed to leave the castle but on John's orders had their hands and feet lopped off as an example.
Winter was now setting in, and the castle was only taken (on 30 November) by starvation and not by force. John set up a memorial to the pigs and a gallows with the intention of hanging the whole garrison, but one of his captains (Savari de Mauleon) persuaded him not to hang the rebels since hanging those who had surrendered would set a precedent if John ever surrendered - only one man was actually hanged (a young bowman who had previously been in John's service). The remainder of the rebel barons were taken away and imprisoned at various royal-held castles, such as Corfe Castle. Of the siege - against only 100 rebels, and costing over a thousand pounds a day - the Barnwell chronicler wrote "No one alive can remember a siege so fiercely pressed and so manfully resisted" and that, after it, "There were few who would put their trust in castles".
King John died on October 19, 1216, so it fell to Henry III to repair the castle. He spent over a £1000 on rebuilding, with new stables and gateways, and a further ditch to strengthen the defences. A new chapel was built next to the Royal apartments in the bailey. The most notable surviving feature is the new south-east tower, which was rebuilt according to the latest defensive design and is three-quarters round better to deflect missile attack and work against attempts at undermining.
The siege of 1264
In 1264, the dissident barons, led by Simon de Montfort, attacked Rochester. They crossed the Medway under cover of the smoke from a fire-ship, and took the city. Like John before them, they quickly gained control of the castle bailey and then attempted to undermine the keep. This time the siege was not successful, being relieved after only a week by Henry himself. However, the rebels did burn down many of the buildings, including the Royal chambers. Repairs were not carried out until 1367, under Edward III, by which time much of the stone had been removed for other use.
The 15th century Wars of the Roses were not fought in Kent, so the castle was spared. It was briefly taken by Wyatt's men during his futile uprising of 1554. But with the invention of gunpowder and introduction of cannon, this form of castle was no longer so secure. It became expensive to maintain so fell into disrepair.
Later military history
Rochester remained of strategic importance, and the neighbouring Chatham Naval Dockyard grew in importance. In the Napoleonic wars, the dockyard was protected by a circle of Palmerston Forts, including Fort Luton, Fort Borstal, Fort Pitt, Fort Clarence, and Fort Amherst. HMS Victory, Admiral Nelson's flagship was built in Chatham (though now "exiled" in Portsmouth). During the twentieth century wars, Chatham has provided a home for the Royal Engineers, and Rochester built aircraft such as the Sunderland. The Dockyard also built and serviced nuclear submarines.
Today
The castle is now maintained by English Heritage and is open to the public. The wooden flooring in the centre of the keep is gone, but many of the passageways and spiral staircases within the thickness of the walls are still usable. Decorative chevrons ornament the archways and the water well in the cross-wall is clearly visible. Visitors with a head for heights can climb 111 ft (34 m) to the battlements and enjoy a commanding view of the river and surrounding area.
Since Victorian times, Rochester Castle Gardens have been an important leisure area for Rochester. They were a popular promenade, they have hosted a bandstand, and have become a centre point for festivals and summer concerts.

'Magnificent ruin!...What a study for an antiquarian!'
The impressive Norman castle at Rochester had a humbling effect upon Dickens, reminding him perhaps of his own mortality. In Household Words he wrote: 'I surveyed the massive ruin from the Bridge, and thought what a brief little practical joke I seemed to be, in comparison with the solidarity, stature, strength and length of life.' In Dickens' time the castle looked very different. Houses and workshops filled much of the moat by the cathedral, the keep and towers were festooned with ivy and the waters of the River Medway lapped the base of the walls. - Guidemap

Ideal Barber Shop, 105 S. Wright St, Burgaw, NC
Official IDEAL BARBER SHOP haircut, November 21, 2009
The Ideal Barber Shop lives up to its name, embodying the image of an old-fashioned barber shop. It is located on the town square in Burgaw, across the street from the Pender County Courthouse. The barber shop’s pole is hung horizontally on the awning outside the door, rather than vertically as many poles are. There are three barber chairs inside, with a dozen chairs for waiting customers. The interior looks much as you would expect – a wall full of fliers and cards from local business, an old Coca-Cola bottle machine, gumball machines, hair products for sale, and plenty of family pictures. It’s patriotic (with a flag and an Uncle Sam poster) and conservative (based on the magazines available for reading). The walls are a light blue, with black-white linoleum. There were four customers while I was there, and the conversational topics included a barbecue place in a nearby town, national politics, local business and their required equipment. When it came my time in the chair, Ray Rivenbark spoke of his son who works as an electrical contractor in New Hanover and Pender counties, one who often gets his work finished ahead of schedule. The haircut cost $10, plus the tip I left.
The last time I visited the Eden Project was not long after it first opened in 2000. It has today grown into a wonderful attraction consisting of the large rainforest dome and the smaller meditteranean dome. Lots for children to do and lots of gorgeous, mature planting.
Well, as some you of you might noticed last week I didn't post any photo of the day. Simple explanation: I was without internet the whole week and didn't had the chance to upload anything... Because of that some days I didn't took any photo, so I posted photos I took during that week.
I told in the beginning of the project I wasn't going to give up, but the truth is, latelly I haven't been in the best mood to photograph, and all my ideas didn't come as I want, so I'm a bit frustrated with the way this is going. Hopefully, it will get better. I'll make an effort for the next photos get a lot better than my last ones!
hope your all ok!
Oh, by the way, I created a blog for this project (probably more things beside the project will appear there, but well). Feel free to follow it here

My friend, Lucy, is visiting this morning, while her partner teaches a class up the coast. We walked to the beach for a bit of fresh air and spotted these kite surfers. We didn't stay out for long - it was windy and my cold has moved to my chest. So the fresh air was a good idea but being out too long was not.

Yeah, I know, I'm so sorry about the title of the project, it seems people at the City hall don't speak a single word of English (It's not as if Calais were France's closest city from UK...). :D
Actually, "Fartçade" is a pun between the words "façade" and "art". It's a pity our closest neighbours can read it as "fart sad"... Epic fail.
So, let me introduce you to the Fartçade project, a collective work for the City, with contributions from many artists and associations.
My association Made in Calais
has been invited to join the project, so we received five 2.5 x 2.5 panels (divided in two parts : "basement" and "roof") on which to express ourselves !
It's the first time I work on such a big scale, and that I use stencils and spraypaint. A great experience !
The exhibition will open on January 31st in the City Hall of Calais.
Time to fire up the lathe and turn some adaptors to fit the tripod and mount. If I can fabricate the pier, it will completely eliminate the possibility of running the camera into a tripod leg while imaging at high angles and through the meridian.

Used car special, low mileage, must see!
Went to the auto wrecker for some parts, came across these two cars that had been crushed and left sitting in the yard.
Astronaut John H. Glenn sits in a car in front of the east side of the Mercury Mission Control building. Glenn was the pilot for the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission aboard Friendship 7, which launched Feb. 20, 1962.
The Asian Highway, a project initiated in 1958 by ECAFE, aims at modernizing and linking up existing roads into a 34,000 miles network of highways that would span Asia from Turkey and Iraq to the Republic of Viet-Nam, Singapore and Indonesia. The Highway network will service an area of some 2,500,000 square miles with a population of over six hundred million. Priority Route A-I (about 6,500 miles) runs from Saigon through eight countries: The Republic of Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, India, East and West Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran, to the Turkish border, where connections can be made to the highway systems of the Middle East and Europe. Priority Route A-2 (about 7,600 miles) runs from the Iraq border to Singapore, through Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Thailand and Malaysia, continuing into Indonesia where, after a ferry crossing from Singapore to Djakarta, it will run the whole length of the island to Java. Member governments have already invested large sums in an effort to improve the standards of the roads within their borders, and some have undertaken to eliminate the missing links between them and their neighbours.
A-1 route of the Asian Highway some 15 miles from Kabul. Construction of this road began about 20 years ago, virtually without any mechanical help. The road, which is almost completed, leads to the Khyber Pass. Some sections of the major roads in Afghanistan are being built under bilateral programmes.
