A bizarre picture from me. Im confused , so if anyone can provide answers I would appreciate it. In land in rural Worcestershire we I could see 7 Optare Tempo's these were latterly with RAPT London United , and in centre shot is YJ11EHP , alongside is ex Monmouthshire County Council Volvo B10M S637SUH.

I think the land rented by Worcestershire CC ( as spare dustcarts in yard too )

This model is loosely based on a vehicle in which I have had some perception-altering experiences, the classic Mumbai Taxi.

Taxi? Check. Madness? Check. Need to get there faster than you thought possible? Check!

A gaping maw of intake, intercooler and turbo piping coupled with a massive rear diffuser and a serious looking dual exhaust suggest this is no ordinary Mumbai Taxi and may be a good sign that you are in fact on your way to a Time Attack Challenge instead of wherever you previously planned. Either way you might be redefining “Crazy Taxi”.

On the detailing front: Custom rock guard taping for the headlights, custom plates, and the requisite car numbering and fleet ID markers ensure unwilling passengers will not receive a DNF for failing to properly identify the vehicle with clearly marked numbers :) On the roof, custom mail package labels, custom FRAGILE tape and a custom fabric roll round things out. Special mention goes out to Jon Elliott for the inventive use of the Friends lipstick as taillights, which I have quoted here :)

I hope you enjoy!

Featured Wheels: Competition Modern in Stealth Anthracite by Lee Schulz

The joys of selling gear on ebay ...

This is the Nikon MH-30 quick charger unit. It can charge up to two MN-30 battery packs for the Nikon F5 SLR.

I sold the unit you see here via ebay to a customer in England and a week or so after sending it to him, I received an irate e-mail claiming that the charger I had sold him did not work.

The customer had miraculously obtained an unused (and therefore never re-charged) MN-30 battery pack from another source, tried to charge it with the MH-30 quick charger he had purchased from me, and failed. He was suspecting that I had duped him and sold him a non-functional charger.

Here is the (slightly abridged) reply I sent him:

First a few words on that brand new and unused MN-30 battery pack for your F5. The manufacturing of the MN-30 battery pack for the F5 was discontinued in the year 2007. The MN-30 battery pack uses NiMH (nickel metal hydride) cells. Even when used and charged properly and frequently, the lifetime of NiMH cells is 3-5 years at most.

I hope you will find this information useful. If you have any doubt, I advise you to consult an expert, but rest assured that an expert will tell you the same things that I told you.

After nine days at home, making sure my stitches from minor surgery healed properly, an invitation by friends Cathy and Terry to go birding yesterday (7 March 2014) was welcomed with open arms - as it always is! What a great day we had, searching SE of the city, and finding some really neat birds. Most were impossible to photograph because of distance, but also because we had "heat waves" all day long, making it difficult to get photos that were sharp. It was one of THOSE days, out of the house from 7:15 a.m. to about 8:15 in the evening. By the end of the day, we had seen a total owl count of 19, from three species - 8 Short-eared Owls, 8 Snowy Owls, 2 Great Horned Owls and one mystery owl. We couldn't decide if the latter was a Snowy Owl or a Short-eared Owl, when viewed through binoculars or camera zoom, as it was perched on top of the metal silo that you see in this image, way off in the distance. The coloured spots from the sunburst lead ones eye to it. We missed a good photo opp with one of the Short-eared Owls, when we were pulled over, further down a road than several other photographers. We did see one down on the ground near the edge of the road in a different place, hiding in the dried grasses, but, again, my photo is blurry.

The beautiful Great Horned Owl, seen in one of my photos posted today, was the highlight of the day for Cathy and myself! Cathy had spotted it from the road but from the opposite side of the distant barn. All she had seen was a tiny head silhouette with what looked like ear tufts : ) We turned a corner and drove just a little way to see if we could get a better view from the other side. How we longed to be able to get a closer look, but the barn was on someone's private property, of course. While we were there, a truck suddenly appeared around the corner and turned into the driveway of the farm. Needless to say, we couldn't resist the chance to go and ask the owner about his owl and, wonderfully, he allowed us to walk through his farm yard to get a less distant view. So, Justin, you arrived home "just-in" time for us! Thanks so much for happily letting us on to your property. It was so much appreciated. We definitely didn't want to risk disturbing the owl or make it fly - so the shot is a 48x zoomed image and cropped somewhat. We loved both the owl's position and the beautiful, red, peeling paint! "Just" a Great Horned Owl, but what a delightful sight!

Also saw a Gyrfalcon and lots of Horned Larks - the latter constantly in flight or down on the road ahead of us. The "heat waves" made it impossible to get anything but rather blurry shots of these, but I might be able to slightly improve one of them enough to post later.

As you will no doubt agree, an amazing day (but colder day than the weather forecast had said!)! Thanks so much, Cathy and Terry, for another rewarding day (which had started off rather slowly down in that area). Lots of fun!

We've had around 3ft of snow in Bo'ness in the past week and The Wynd is one of only three or four roads that have been cleared.

Bo'ness, properly Borrowstounness, is a coastal town in the Falkirk (council area) of Scotland, lying on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. Prior to 1975 the town was in the former county of West Lothian. Formerly a centre of heavy industry and coal mining, and a major port, the town is now primarily a commuter town.

Bo'ness has important historical links to the Roman period and marks the eastern extent of the Antonine Wall which stretched from Bo'ness to Old Kilpatrick on the west coast of Scotland. Roman artefacts, some with inscriptions have been found in the eastern part of the town in the parish of Carriden. A Roman fort called Veluniate and long since lost to history once stood on the site now occupied by the grounds of Carriden House. Indeed, it is said that stones from the fort were used in the building of the mansion house. Several artefacts have over the years been uncovered by the local farming community with many of them now on display in the Museum of Edinburgh. Other Roman sites have been identified at Muirhouses (known locally as "The Murrays") and Kinglass on the south-east side of the town. Kinneil, in the western part of Bo'ness, was mentioned by Bede, who wrote that it was named Pennfahel ("Wall's end") in Pictish and Penneltun in Old English . It was also Pengwawl in old Welsh. In the grounds of Kinneil House is the ruin of the small house where James Watt worked on his steam engine. The Antonine Wall was named as an extension to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site by UNESCO in July 2007. A Roman fortlet can still be seen at Kinneil Estate.

The town was a recognised port from the 16th century; a harbour was authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1707. The harbour, constructed progressively during the 18th century, was extended and complemented by a dry dock in 1881 (works designed by civil engineers Thomas Meik and Patrick Meik). The commercial port (heavily used for the transport of coal and pit props) eventually closed in 1959, badly affected by silting and the gradual downturn of the Scottish coal mining industry. Plans currently exist for the regeneration of the docks area including reopening the port as a marina.

Bo'ness was a site for coal mining from medieval times. Clay mining was carried out on a smaller scale. The shore was the site of industrial salt making, evaporating seawater over coal fires. The ruins of several fisheries (fish storage houses) along the shoreline evidences long gone commercial fishing activitiy. The town was also home to several sizable potteries, one product being the black "wally dogs" which sat in pairs over many fireplaces. Metalworking is still carried out, and the Bo'ness Iron Company's drain covers are to be found in many places.

"Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew – also known as Saint Peter's Cathedral in the United Kingdom – is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Peterborough, dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the famous West Front. Although it was founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. With Durham and Ely cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration.

Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.

Peterborough is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 202,110 in 2017. Historically part of Northamptonshire, it is 76 miles (122 km) north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea 30 miles (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. The city is also 70 miles (110 km) east of Birmingham, 38 miles (61 km) east of Leicester, 81 miles (130 km) south of Kingston upon Hull and 65 miles (105 km) west of Norwich.

The local topography is flat, and in some places the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral.

The population grew rapidly after the railways arrived in the 19th century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly known for its brick manufacture. After the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s. Housing and population are expanding and a £1 billion regeneration of the city centre and immediately surrounding area is under way. Industrial employment has fallen since then, a significant proportion of new jobs being in financial services and distribution." - info from Wikipedia.

Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

I cannot properly express just how exhausted I am right now. I've been on the go all day, and most of that time was spent (willingly) chasing around my goddaughter. I snapped a couple of pictures this morning before leaving for my friend's baby shower just in case I didn't get time to take more later, and boy am I glad I did. Sorry this isn't a masterpiece. I'm just happy I got something on topic to finish off my Seven Deadly Sins series for this week's theme of the week.

Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony (Latin, gula) is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. In the Christian religions, it is considered a sin because of the excessive desire for food, or its withholding from the needy.

Depending on the culture, it can be seen as either a vice or a sign of status. Where food is relatively scarce, being able to eat well might be something to take pride in. But in an area where food is routinely plentiful, it may be considered a sign of self-control to resist the temptation to over-indulge. Medieval church leaders (e.g., Thomas Aquinas) took a more expansive view of gluttony, arguing that it could also include an obsessive anticipation of meals, and the constant eating of delicacies and excessively costly foods.

And now I'm going to collapse and pass out. Good night.

TOTW: Seven Deadly Sins - Gluttony

Properly shonky old one, exactly how they should look in my opinion! This one looks as if it was treasured at some point, looking at the wheels and seats. It could well be abandoned now though, as it didn't have any plates.

She is properly dressed for a nice evening out!

This is a photo from October of 2011. Late in the day I was hustling down to the sundeck hoping to get a shot of the sunset over the Hudson and when I raced through the Chelsea Market Passage there was a party going on there. I never made it back to find out what was going on and I wasn’t properly dressed.

Two chairs. Properly scanned and post processed the picture is actually quite dark. I wanted something like this when I took the picture, however this is more rough than I expected. Definitely suffered in the cold developer bath. These are my first experimental shots of Ilford Super XP2 35mm film. I shot these on a very overcast day with a Voigtlander Bessa T and Voigtlander 40mm f/1.4 Classic SC lens. I shot these at ISO 400 and paid no real attention to lighting.

The goal was to test diluted C-41 stand development. The film was supposed to be developed at 70 degrees fahrenheit for 45 minutes with inversions at 15 and 30 minutes. C-41 mixed 1:9 so 30ml in a 300 ml soup. All worked fine until I realized the temp in the darkroom was actually 60 degrees - both water and developer. Too late to go back so we got these and foxed with potassium ferricyanide bleach and homemade Ammonium theiosulfate fixer. (both 5 minutes at "room" temperature).

Overall the negatives look ok and the pictures came out. Many were dark and some seemed to suffer from the poor developer temperature. Not a fail, just not inconclusive. The developer is old, but it has been sealed since mixed.

The process is doable so now some more serious controlled tests.

Properly excised from skin, still alive and actually moving along. If returned to forest it will release thousands of tick eggs. It needs to be destroyed.

Arromanches (properly "Arromanches-les-Bains") in Normandy played an important part in the D-Day landings in June 1944.

It was here that the "Mulberry" temporary harbour was constructed after having been towed from England in parts and re-assembled here. It greatly helped in landing heavy machinery (such as tanks and lorries) as well as reinforcements of soldiers. A similar harbour was set up at Omaha Beach for the American forces.

The harbour at Arromanches was used for 10 months and then abandoned as no longer needed. Over time it has been broken up by the action of sea but several pieces can still be seen.

My view is from near the modern visitor centre that has been constructed above the town.

Arromanches (proprement "Arromanches-les-Bains") en Normandie a joué un rôle important dans les débarquements du jour J en juin 1944.

C'est ici que le port temporaire "Mulberry" fut construit après avoir été remorqué de l'Angleterre par endroits et ré-assemblé ici. Il a grandement aidé à l'atterrissage des engins lourds (tels que les chars et les camions) ainsi que des renforts de soldats. Un port similaire a été mis en place à Omaha Beach pour les forces américaines.

Le port d'Arromanches a été utilisé pendant 10 mois puis abandonné car il n'était plus nécessaire. Au fil du temps, il a été brisé par l'action de la mer, mais plusieurs pièces peuvent encore être vus.

Mon point de vue est le centre d'accueil moderne qui a été construit au-dessus de la ville.

The LED indicator lights required a 3 step drilling process to fit properly.

Properly inked and registered this time, but is it an improvement?

Progress of the 3D Mk1. I modeled a basic interior and that makes a big difference in the renderings now. There were a few tiny problem areas I fixed up in post, mainly to the front valance and I added the tyre texture as I couldnt get the texture to work properly when I did this rendering. Most of the body is done I just need to finish off the rear of the car.

The city is also 70 miles (110 km) east of Birmingham, 38 miles (61 km) east of Leicester, 81 miles (130 km) south of Kingston upon Hull and 65 miles (105 km) west of Norwich.

The local topography is flat, and in some places the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral.

The population grew rapidly after the railways arrived in the 19th century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly known for its brick manufacture. After the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s. Housing and population are expanding and a £1 billion regeneration of the city centre and immediately surrounding area is under way. Industrial employment has fallen since then, a significant proportion of new jobs being in financial services and distribution." - info from Wikipedia.

Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Now on Instagram.

Properlies to Jamdek for posting at last a decent hi res version, you'd have thought we would of had one?

A rare day for the both of us here, when we knew we'd brought it that day. This was the piece we wanted to have dropped at Banksy's 'Walls on Fire' jam in Bristol the week before....except we hit the bar on the Saturday night and the rest - you guessed it.

Finally properly back home - 3000kms, one and a half weeks and two of the best places in New South Wales - New England and Green Cape.

This is the lighthouse at Green Cape. Unfortunately the light is no longer in operation due to the man hours required to run it (it was retired in 1996). There is a smaller, automated light which runs beside it. But it still stands as an impressive monument at the head of the Cape.

Taken near the spot on Point Dume where a large mansion in . . . I don't know . . . Santa Clarita? was CGI-ed-in.

I must not have realized I had the shutter speed set to 1/1600th (which forced Auto-ISO to 800). I could just have well used 1/200th and ISO 100. I mean, this is really just basic "sunny 16"

(i.e., it would have been properly exposed @ f/16; 1/100th & ISO 100), isn't it?

uh oh. Is that Pat Brown's boat off in the distance?

Exeter cathedral, Devon, UK

Exeter Cathedral, properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral, and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter, in the city of Exeter, Devon, in South West England. The present building was complete by about 1400, and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England. The founding of the cathedral at Exeter, dedicated to Saint Peter, dates from 1050, when the seat of the bishop of Devon and Cornwall was transferred from Crediton because of a fear of sea-raids. A Saxon minster already existing within the town (and dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Peter) was used by Leofric as his seat, but services were often held out of doors, close to the site of the present cathedral building. Notable features of the interior include the misericords, the minstrels' gallery, the astronomical clock and the organ. Notable architectural features of the interior include the multiribbed ceiling and the compound piers in the nave arcade. The 18-metre-high bishop's throne in the choir was made from Devon oak between 1312 and 1316; the nearby choir stalls were made by George Gilbert Scott in the 1870s. The Great East Window contains much 14th-century glass, and there are over 400 ceiling bosses, one of which depicts the murder of Thomas Becket. The bosses can be seen at the peak of the vaulted ceiling, joining the ribs together. Because there is no centre tower, Exeter Cathedral has the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in the world, at about 96 m

Star Trek- The Menagerie , “Return to Talos IV”

youtu.be/v5XBfgPy43A?t=2s The full feature.

The Menagerie Review: February 8, 2014 by neoethereal

As the only two-part episode in The Original Series, “The Menagerie” also cleverly serves as a re-telling of the very first Star Trek story ever filmed, “The Cage.” This week on The Uncommon Geek, I examine all of these episodes in full detail, highlighting their connections to other aspects of the Trek mythos. As well, I take a look at the ground broken by Gene Roddenberry concerning the nature of reality, decades before movies like “The Matrix” challenged the perception of our everyday world.

Equipped with little more than a shoestring budget and massive constraints on time with which to work, Gene Roddenberry and his Star Trek production team had to get extremely creative in order to make the show work. Nowhere, in my opinion, is that more evident than here in “The Menagerie,” an entry that served the purpose of buying the production team time to properly finish subsequent episodes, and as well, afforded Gene Roddenberry a unique opportunity to re-tell the story he had wanted to get on the air all along, “The Cage.”

This episode begins with the Enterprise having been called out of its way, to Starbase 11. Confusion arises when the starbase’s commanding officer, Commodore Mendez, reveals to Captain Kirk that the base never sent any message to the Enterprise. Spock claims to have received that message, which puts Kirk into the difficult position of whether to trust the starbase computers, or the word of his first officer and friend.

It turns out that Captain Christopher Pike, the former commander of the Enterprise, who was recently crippled and disfigured in a terrible accident, is on Starbase 11, and suspicion arises that perhaps he relayed a message to Spock. When Kirk finally gets to see Pike, however, he realizes that it would have been impossible for Spock’s former commanding officer to have done this, for Pike is now wheelchair bound, and his communication with others is limited to electronic beeps that fill in for “yes” and “no.

While Kirk and Mendez wrestle over the truth, Spock executes a daring and clever plan to hijack the Enterprise, taking Captain Pike with him. It goes to show just how dangerous an opponent someone as smart and calculating as Spock can be when he puts his mind to it. Spock sets the Enterprise on a locked course for Talos IV, a planet which the ship visited on a past mission under Christopher Pike, and a planet that invites the death penalty upon any Starfleet officer who goes there

The secret file on Talos IV, and the article of General Order 7

I personally find the idea of a death penalty being associated with Talos IV to be somewhat dubious; although there is a very good reason why Starfleet wants the existence of the Talosians kept secret, I find it hard to believe that if the Federation is capable of having a death penalty, that it only applies to one law. It may just be a grand bluff, and indeed, there is some evidence to that effect later in the episode. Regardless, breaking General Order 7 is a serious offense, and Spock is if nothing else, putting his career and livelihood on the line.

Kirk, of course, isn’t going to sit by while his ship is abducted. He and Mendez make a daring attempt to chase the Enterprise in the Shuttlecraft Picasso, knowing full well that while they would never catch up, they would appear on the Enterprise sensors. Kirk gambles his life on the fact that his friend Spock would not leave him to die in the void of space, as the shuttle runs out of fuel. Kirk’s illogical gambit causes Spock’s plan to unravel, and he surrenders himself to custody, pleading guilty to every charge leveled against him. However, Spock has locked the Enterprise into a course for Talos IV that cannot be broken, which will potentially extend the death sentence that is on himself, to Kirk as well.

The court martial that proceeds against Spock is highly unusual; as mentioned, Spock pleads guilty without defense, but through some legal technicality, manages to arrange for the court to hear out his evidence as to why he went through with his illegal actions. Given that Kirk is presiding over the hearing, and that the crew has little else to do but wait until they reach Talos IV, I get the lenience, but I am not sure what real court would remain in session to examine evidence for someone who just admitted their guilt. Or admittedly, maybe I just don’t know enough about legal proceedings.

Spock’s evidence, as it turns out, is a transmission from Talos IV, beamed directly to the Enterprise, which details the vessel’s first trip there under the command of Captain Pike. Of course, this transmission is the original Star Trek pilot, “The Cage,” and from this point on, “The Menagerie” consists almost entirely of footage from that episode.

Aside from some really goofy tech dialogue, and incomplete characterizations, “The Cage” holds up surprisingly well. We get to see that Jeffrey Hunter’s Captain Pike is a darker, colder man than James Kirk; he is someone whose decisions and responsibilities as a commander are weighing on him heavily, and he is nearing the point of considering resignation. Pike’s first officer is only referred to as Number One (played by Majel Barrett), who is an amazing example of a strong female role for 1960’s television, but unfortunately her character had to be discarded by Roddenberry when the studio forced him to choose between keeping his strong, logical female, or his alien Spock. Roddenberry ended up giving Spock Number One’s cold, emotionless, logical persona, and thus the Spock we know and love was born.

It really is a shame that NBC put so much pressure on Roddenberry to alter his concept of women in the 23rd Century; aside from Number One, the other female crew members of the Cage-era Enterprise also seem to be on equal footing with the men, and there isn’t a mini-skirt in sight. Of course, this reviewer by no means, from an aesthetic point view, objects to how the women of the Enterprise look in said mini-skirts, but cheekiness and my own red-blooded male impulses aside, the female officers in Starfleet should have been offered the same, more professional uniform as the males. Unfortunately we would have to wait until The Motion Picture to see more fairness in the way men and women are presented in Star Trek.

When Enterprise finds evidence of human survivors on Talos IV, from a doomed expedition many years ago, Pike, Spock, and an away team beam down to investigate. What at first seems like a wonderful discovery of lost, homesick men, turns out to be just an elaborate, life like illusion created by the Talosians. Pike is abducted when he is lured in by the only true human survivor from the crash, Vina, whom he is extremely attracted to.

Pike is subjected to a variety of illusions crafted by the Talosians, in order to foster cooperation, as well as to strengthen his attraction toward Vina. Vina is presented to Pike in a variety of forms; as a damsel in distress on Rigel VII, as a wife in the countryside on Earth, and as a primal, animalistic Orion slave woman, all in an attempt to make him submit to his situation.

However, Pike is every bit as stubborn as Captain Kirk, and certainly has a darker, more furious edge to him. When he discovers that primitive, base human emotions such as hatred, and anger, block out the Talosian’s illusions and their telepathic abilities, he mines that weakness long enough to take one of them captive. Once the illusion is broken, the Enterprise crew find out that their attempts to break Pike out from his underground cage with phaser fire were actually working, but all along they weren’t able to see it.

The Talosians had, thousands of centuries ago, devastated their planet and their civilization with war. They retreated underground, where their telepathic abilities flourished, but their physical bodies and their technology atrophied. They had apparently been testing various species for many years, looking for a suitable slave race to use for rebuilding their world, but none had shown as much promise as humanity.

However, when the away team threatens to kill themselves with an overloaded phaser, and as well when the Talosians finish screening the Enterprise‘s records, they realize that humans would rather die than be enslaved, and would be too violent to keep in captivity. With of course, the sad exception of Vina, who in reality is too badly disfigured to live a normal life outside of Talos IV.

(I once heard a suggestion that Vina could be repaired using the transporter. I don’t think 23rd century transporters were sophisticated enough for that, plus, there wouldn’t be an original, unaltered version of her pattern to reference.)

The ending of “The Cage” leads us to the final moments of “The Menagerie,” where it is revealed that not only have the Talosians been transmitting a signal to the Enterprise, but even Commodore Mendez himself has been one of their illusions all along!

It is also revealed that Spock’s only intention was to take Captain Pike to Talos IV, so that the crippled starship commander could live out the rest of his life as a healthy, happy man with Vina. Even Kirk seems to relent that it is better to live with an illusion of health and happiness, than a reality of living as a useless vegetable. That Commodore Mendez was an illusion, and that Starfleet sends a signal to the Enterprise, apparently excusing their violation of Talos space, seems to let Spock off the hook. Perhaps too easily in fact; despite acting out of nothing but loyalty to his former Captain, and despite that the way he enacted his plan was done in such a manner as to put the blame only on himself, Spock seems to get out of his predicament with apparently no trouble at all. We can make a guess that perhaps this incident is why he doesn’t receive a promotion or command of his own until years later, but there is nothing spoken on-screen to that effect.

We are also left to ponder about how much of the incident was real at all. Since the Talosians can apparently project their powers through subspace, one wonders just how long they conspired with Spock, and also, how much we see of Mendez was real or an illusion. My guess is that the Mendez we see at the base was real, and what goes onto the shuttle with Kirk was the illusion, but unfortunately, again, there is little to back that up. What we do know for sure is that the Talosian’s powers are not to be trifled with, and it is truly for wise for Starfleet to give them a wide berth.

Despite some problems with logic and consistency, “The Menagerie” is an entertaining, fascinating episode that shows original series Trek at some of its most interestingly cerebral. Gene Roddenberry’s first pilot examines the nature of reality decades before The Matrix did, and asks the questions: What is real? How does one define their purpose, their reality? Is our reality just relative, defined only by experience? Is there a such thing as an absolute reality, or only what our senses perceive, or for that matter what they think they perceive? This is smart, ahead of its time writing for the 1960s.

Through the tragedies that befell both Vina and Pike, we must also question the quality of human life, and the value we place on it. Is it worth staying alive if you can’t function? If your brain is sound but your body is broken, can you still truly live? Speaking for myself, I certainly would despise the existence that Captain Pike is forced to endure in his wheelchair. I’d rather be dead than live that way. I’m not sure how I would react exactly to being forced to live in an illusion, but it is certainly preferable to a reality of uselessness and immobility. Besides, is our everyday life not just an elaborate series of deceptions spun before our very eyes; maybe not as powerful as a trick of telepathy played by an alien race, but an illusion nonetheless?

For even provoking these thoughts, and much more, “The Cage,” and by extension, “The Menagerie,” are what I consider among the best of Star Trek’s purely cerebral stories about human nature. It is imaginative, thoughtful, and quite engaging.

"Peterborough Cathedral, properly the Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew – also known as Saint Peter's Cathedral in the United Kingdom – is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Peterborough, dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul and Saint Andrew, whose statues look down from the three high gables of the famous West Front. Although it was founded in the Anglo-Saxon period, its architecture is mainly Norman, following a rebuilding in the 12th century. With Durham and Ely cathedrals, it is one of the most important 12th-century buildings in England to have remained largely intact, despite extensions and restoration.

Peterborough Cathedral is known for its imposing Early English Gothic West Front (façade) which, with its three enormous arches, is without architectural precedent and with no direct successor. The appearance is slightly asymmetrical, as one of the two towers that rise from behind the façade was never completed (the tower on the right as one faces the building), but this is only visible from a distance.

Peterborough is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 202,110 in 2017. Historically part of Northamptonshire, it is 76 miles (122 km) north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea 30 miles (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. The city is also 70 miles (110 km) east of Birmingham, 38 miles (61 km) east of Leicester, 81 miles (130 km) south of Kingston upon Hull and 65 miles (105 km) west of Norwich.

Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation.

Installation by Tomoko Fuse, Freising 2015

Healthwise not really fit properly (bad cold), I wanted to be for one day at Schafhof / “European House of Art - Upper Bavaria – Schafhof”!

Ori-friends told me to come, because the Exhibition with an installation by Tomoko Fuse and works by Heinz Strobl is so interesting! And at the last weekend there was “Origami to join in“/Origami zum Mitmachen. Well, so I drove to Freising with lot of lozenges to cool down my cough, if necessary :)!!

The exhibition of both artists is really great and impressive!!

On last Sunday, when I was there, one could participate Origami-Workshops and a panel talk with Paulo Mulatinho, Silke Schröder/Viereck Vlg , Heinz Strobl and Fritz Dettenhofer/ Galerie 13.

I was very glad to be there too! It was a wonderful Origami-Day!!

The exhibition will run until 11.octobre, 2015.

So, if you are in this region of Bavaria stop by and make a visit! You will enjoy it!

One of the places I wanted to visit while in Hawaii on the Big Island, was the popularly named ‘Painted Church’ located just outside the town of Captain Cook. Properly named ‘St Benedict’s Roman Catholic Church, it sits up-slope from the shore area at Honaunau, relatively safe from volcanic lava flows that destroyed several other churches in the region over the past 200 years. The reason people go to visit the church is the folk -art-style interior decoration done by Father John Berchmans between 1899 and 1902. The building is currently listed on both the Hawaii State Historic Register and the US National Historic Register. - JW
