Aer Lingus (more properly Aer Loingeas, meaning “Air Fleet” in Gaelic) was established in 1936 by Blackpool and West Coast Air Services, though this was always meant to be temporary; in 1937, as planned, Aer Lingus was acquired and financed by the Irish government. It began flights to the United Kingdom from Dublin, starting with a single deHavilland DH.84 Dragon. Services to the UK and inside Ireland itself were gradually expanded, but World War II severely curtailed operations.
After the war’s end, Aer Lingus was able to greatly expand flights with a DC-3 fleet to the UK, winning exclusive rights to operate flights to and from Dublin. It was hoped that Aer Lingus would also begin transatlantic flights, but indifference by the Irish government meant that it would not be until 1958 before services to New York were introduced. It began jet operations in 1960 with Boeing 720s and became known as Aer Lingus-Irish International Airlines, though this was eventually dropped in 1974 in favor of the earlier title. Aer Lingus gained a reputation for safety and reliability, without a single fatality since 1968; Pope John Paul II chose Aer Lingus and Alitalia as his airline of choice, which helped Aer Lingus’ reputation. It also opened a commuter service, Aer Lingus Commuter, in 1984.
The airline saw a downturn in the late 1990s, resulting in the reabsorption of Aer Lingus Commuter in 2001 and three attempts by low-cost airline Ryanair to acquire Aer Lingus. Nonetheless, the airline continued to turn a profit, and switched its marketing strategy to emphasis more on European destinations rather than its transatlantic routes (though those continue and have expanded), also going to an all-Airbus fleet. In 2006, the Irish government sold off its interest in Aer Lingus, privatizing the company. Aer Lingus is now one of the oldest continually operating airlines in the world, with a fleet of 48 aircraft, mostly Airbus A320s.
Aer Lingus apparently never flew A300s, and the EI-AMW registration belonged to one of the airline’s 707s. However, when Bary Poletto built it in the mid-1970s, he may have assumed Aer Lingus would buy A300s in the future.
Properly known as the Derwent Viaduct, this bridge carries the Barrow-Carlisle Cumbrian coast line across the river Derwent at Workington.
Until the 1930s, it also carried pedestrians, as can be seen by the skeletal remains of the footway. Shortly after the demise of the Oldside ironworks, the footway was lifted: a typical parsimonious railway attitude harking back to the pre-grouping days of the London North-Western.
I suspect a broken water pipe mounted between the curved and horizontal supports (not the pipe above the horzontal supports - see 'comments') was that used to connect the pumping station on the north side of the Derwent at Workington Bridge, to the goods yard.
This is a photograph from the first running of the Clonard GAA 4 Mile Road Race, Fun Run and Walk which was held in the village of Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland on Wednesday 2nd August 2017 at 19:30. This race was organised to faciliate the continued fund raising for the wonderful new GAA facilities at St. Finian's Park - the new home of Clonard GAA. The race itself was an outstanding success with over 400 participants including over 230 participants having chip timing. The new GAA facilities provided ample car parking and space for refreshments and mingling afterwards.
The four mile distance is something of a novelty these days on the road racing circuit and the large field shows that the distance holds an attraction for runners, joggers and walkers.
The race started and finished at the new GAA pitch and incredibly only 20 meters separated the start and finish line of the race. The route took the participants east bound on the R148 towards Enfield through the village of Clonard and onwards to take a right turn onto Keegan's boreen to cross the M4/M6. The route then took a right turn on the Clonard Edenderry road to return back to Clonard with another crossing of the M4/M6 motorway.
As this was the first running of the race the support from local athletes was very visible.
Credit must go to Clonard GAA and Clonard Community Council who provided excellent organisation on all aspects of the race including event management, parking and race stewarding with the Gardai. This race can be an example to every other club in Ireland in how a properly organised race can be run.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Or, more properly, an Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear.
We just returned from a trip off the grid into Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. We stayed at an amazing place called Silver Salmon Creek Lodge.
This was truly an amazing life experience. Deep in wild Alaska, the bears were astonishingly close. This 9-year old boar was the very first bear we saw (within 10 minutes of arrival), and was really very intimidating and menacing. The males are much larger than the females, and tend to have bodily motions that seem more threatening than the females. As he put his head in the air sniffing us, I couldn't help but wonder if he thought we would taste good with a nice remoulade sauce.
Properly the most crazy thing I've ever done in the kitchen!
Recipe:
You need:
- Pizza crust
- Tomatoes (hacked)
- some Burgers, Fries, Nuggets or what ever you like from McDonalds
- Cheese
Put the tomatoes on the crust, than the burgers and the cheese.
Put it in the oven.
ENJOY!
(I've added some onions and olives...)
Sorry I did not introduce him properly at first!
I was not sure of who he was but after some research, I think he (or maybe her, females are smaller) is a Colorado ermine. Also called short-tailed weasel, the ermine is a small, (maybe 12-14") short-legged, long and slender-bodied animal with a short, black-tipped tail. His coat changes with the seasons and camouflages it from predators. The fur turns white in winter, except for the tip of the tail, which is black. The ermine is also called a stoat (Mustela erminea).
Our dog definitely knows when he is roaming around: he was going absolutely nuts, which led us to look out and finally spot the ermine, moving very fast on the snow slope! No time to grab the camera!
This little critter may look pretty and cute, but he is a fierce hunter, the smallest carnivore known to occur in Colorado. I read he can kill squirrels and rabbits bigger than him, which remind me that I have seen the big paw prints of our friend the snowshoe hare lately ):
You can see a photo of an ermine at www.flickr.com/photos/jonvshields/2041138538/
"The Alexandra Road estate, properly known as the Alexandra and Ainsworth estate, but more commonly, and erroneously, referred to as simply Rowley Way, is a housing estate in the London Borough of Camden, North West London, England. It was designed in 1968 by Neave Brown of Camden Council's Architects Department. Construction work commenced in 1972 and was completed in 1978. It is constructed from site-cast, board-marked white, unpainted reinforced concrete. Along with 520 apartments, the site also includes a school, community centre, youth club, heating complex, and parkland.
"The estate consists of three parallel east-west blocks, and occupies a crescent-shaped site bounded on the south by Boundary Road, Loudoun Road on the east, Abbey Road on the west, and by the West Coast Main Line to the north. The desire to control the sound and vibration from passing trains was a major consideration in the layout of the estate. Two rows of terraced apartments are aligned along the tracks. The higher, eight-story block directly adjacent to the railway line is organised in the form of a ziggurat, and acts as a noise barrier that blocks the noise of the trains from reaching the interior portion of the site, and its foundations rest on rubber pads that eliminate vibration. A lower, 4-storey block runs along the other side of a continuous pedestrian walkway, known as Rowley Way, serving both terraced rows of buildings. The third row of buildings, along the southern edge of the site, parallels another public walkway, Langtry Walk, between this row and the existing earlier buildings of the Ainsworth Estate and defines a public park with play areas between the second and third row of dwellings."

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.
In 1107 William Warelwast was appointed to the see, and this was the catalyst for the building of a new cathedral in the Norman style. Its official foundation was in 1133, during Warelwast's time, but it took many more years to complete. Following the appointment of Walter Bronescombe as bishop in 1258, the building was already recognised as outmoded, and it was rebuilt in the Decorated Gothic style, following the example of Salisbury. However, much of the Norman building was kept, including the two massive square towers and part of the walls. It was constructed entirely of local stone, including Purbeck Marble. The new cathedral was complete by about 1400, apart from the addition of the chapter house and chantry chapels.
During the Second World War, Exeter was one of the targets of a German air offensive against British cities of cultural and historical importance, which became known as the "Baedeker Blitz". On 4 May 1942 an early-morning air raid took place over Exeter. The cathedral sustained a direct hit by a large high-explosive bomb on the chapel of St James, completely demolishing it. The muniment room above, three bays of the aisle and two flying buttresses were also destroyed in the blast. The medieval wooden screen opposite the chapel was smashed into many pieces by the blast, but it has been reconstructed and restored. Many of the cathedral's most important artefacts, such as the ancient glass (including the great east window), the misericords, the bishop's throne, the Exeter Book, the ancient charters (of King Athelstan and Edward the Confessor) and other precious documents from the library had been removed in anticipation of such an attack. The precious effigy of Walter Branscombe had been protected by sand bags. Subsequent repairs and the clearance of the area around the western end of the building uncovered portions of earlier structures, including remains of the Roman city and of the original Norman cathedral.

FIELD MARK-The Green Peafowl, is a large galliform bird that is found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is also known as the Java Peafowl, but this term is properly used to describe the nominate subspecies endemic to the island of Java. It is the closest relative of the Indian Peafowl or Blue Peafowl Pavo cristatus, which is mostly found on the Indian subcontinent.

Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings
Thanks for your response. I have seen your design/model. This is very pleasant and excellent undoubtedly. sasrai-Movement is in 100% agreement with what you have designed.
I am sorry I failed to produce my feelings to you properly. Our appeal is a bit different. Our observation is message given here is not clear enough for the mass people to follow and practice. Since 2009 we have been trying to get the idea of mass people on WED Theme. They don’t find their doings or following here. This is why we appeal `T’ shirt should bear some simple and specific message for the mass people that they could translate it into their plan and action.
As for example since 2004 we raised voices `save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources’ that UNEP has taken in 2012 WED theme Think.Eat.Save. Regarding this message mass people stated to us `We are poor, we are in lack of daily food, and we have nothing to do here.’ This is a message for the rich and asks them to be caring. Main part of 2015 theme `Consume with Care’ mass people not clear about how they could be caring. This is accurate, agreeable for expert/learned person working in the field of environment.
In sharing session of Local Government Leaders and different level Officials it is originated, they are not clear about how they could be caring. I hope you will find the same scenario in other country also. This is why we appeal making it simple and specific that each one can realize and practice in her/his personal, family, office and community.
save a drop of water
plant at least a Native Tree
waste no food
avoid personal car
no more junk food
avoid one time use
prefer home made
If we look back the theme of 2009 'Your Planet Needs You– Unite to Combat Climate Change' I think we should consider `T’ shirt other BCC material design. High profile designer do such a high level model but for the mass mobilization we need it as simple as possible.
Climate change is the biggest threat to the humanity we must involve each one across the globe and that demands simple and specific message that might be workable by each.
`Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care'.is very nice for the expert/learned, mass people don’t get practicable message for them. We like to have translated it `Earth is shared island Dreams of 7 billions Human, Infinite Plants, Animals, Microorganism, Demand special Care, `CONSUME WITH CARE.’
I hope I am clear to you. Global community is getting messages Tremor in Nepal, biggest Storm in New Zealand and historical devastated flood in The United States. Different study warned us number of disasters and intensity both will increase day by day. We must involve each one in fighting against the rebellious nature. Otherwise we will be defeated and history will not forgive us. Since 2004 sasrai-Movement’s voice ‘we must get each baby caring to each particle of resources’. You see The United States is the top most food wasting country and most of the develop countries are following same way. This situation indicates our message is not even clear to mass people of developed country. In that case how we could expect realization from the mass people of developing or under developed?
We believe each has the capacity and responsibility to combat the Climate Change and present planet demands involvement of each across the globe. And UNEP should come forward with that challenge. Our initiative should be pragmatic, effective, purposeful & logical in order to involve each. Like Chinese president I have to say that we have no time to waste. We should start right now.
Please consider our appeal.
Kindest regards.

UNSG says climate change “is a humanitarian issue, a development issue, and an issue of security and stability.” USA President in his Berlin speech said the global threat of our time severe storms, Famine and floods, Coastlines vanish, Oceans rise and Climate change.
IPCC 5th Assessment Report urges- disrupted climate can do in sea level rise and acidification, aggravated droughts and wildfires, increased storm severity and flooding. Those impacts will grow more severe unless we start reducing global warming pollution, not tomorrow, but now.
IPS - Special Issue on COP18 Doha Climate Change Conference 29 Nov, Dec 07, 2012 - state that unsustainable human consumption and production systems are driving changes in average temperatures and weather patterns, "abnormal" is increasingly becoming the norm.
Report from the International Energy Agency says we are headed toward an increase in global temperatures of 6.5 °F to 9.5 °F, most of it during the lives of young people alive today. And I do believe we never desire such situation for our young daughter and son. We must have step to stop this undesired trend.
Planet is at a turning point cause Person crazy to Profit, Property and Possession. Planet under irreversible Catastrophic Climate Change sequences Famine and Flood, Severe Storm, Coast line Vanish and Ocean Rise.
We must have a mission to bridle on our consumption across the globe that needs significant change in mindset among all, `save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.’ sasrai only the path to attain the target. In absence of sasrai feeling, thinking and practice we can’t offer a habitable earth for our next generation.
Based on aforesaid sayings sasrai Day 2015 Appeal

The Southern properly understood that hi-nose locomotives operating in long-hood forward mode looked great (no matter how hard it must have been to drive one of the things) and clung on to this philosophy right to the bitter end. Norfolk Southern has, since the beginning of the 2000s, been rapidly increasing the rate of 'chopping noses', but SD40-2 No. CG 3288 was untouched and in original condition when it was photographed at Roanoke, Virginia, on March 10th, 2005.

When done properly, birch bark can be harvested in a way that does
very little, if any, damage to the tree. This is an example of how
NOT to do it.
Most likely this person attempted to harvest the bark at the wrong
time of year. At the right time of year, it would have peeled off
relatively easily. It looks like this person tried to yank it off,
then gave up.
From the bare wood inside the cut, it appears that this person cut
much too deeply as well.
This tree will probably be killed from this careless attempt to harvest bark.

Old Spitalfields Market's Square Pie began 'properly' (to quote the website) in 2011, when recently unemployed cofounder Martin Dewey found himself inspired to create a place to get 'quality pies' round here. Considering the UK is supposedly known for pie and mash (amongst other things) I can't help but feel that the country was letting him down back then. Anyway, well over a decade later (and after some rough times, including the remortgaging Martin's flat) Square Pie is doing very well indeed. We were invited down into the Square Pie mothership (OK, it's just a shop but mothership sounds better) on Old Spitalfields Market for their latest pie/global sports tie in: the 'Pie World Cup'.
So yeah, this was the launch of their new range of 'pies for trys' (lol). They've teamed up with ex England captain and all round sports hero, Lawrence Dallaglio, and his charity - the Dallaglio Foundation - where Square Pie are 'official food partner' for the next few years. What this entails, really, is a limited range of pies with unusual ingredients: including Kangaroo Pie (for Australia) and Moose Pie (for Canada), Springbok (South Africa) and Pastel De Carne (Uruguay). Representing England is nothing other than the classic Steak and Ale, with 10p from every sale of said steak and ale going to the Dallaglio Foundation - which is cool. Lawrence was not around to comment on charitable pies but I was distracted by a new variety of cider so this is OK.
A little more about their history, Square Pie, who describe themselves as a 'gourmet pie company', started trading on a small stall in Spitalfields market (supposedly selling a grand total of seven pies on their first day of trading..) which eventually led to the likes of a stall at Glastonbury and now to outlets all over London - including Canary Wharf, Heathrow Terminal 1 and Selfridge's food hall. They're opening their first 'non-London' outlet at the new Grand Central development in Birmingham later this year, and have produced over 120 pie varieties to date - supplying said pie varieties to the likes of Manchester United, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis.
Asides from pies in many forms (and by 'many forms' I mean usually square), they also produce a range of (mainly sausage-centric) British classics such as bangers and mash, sausage rolls, macaroni cheese, etc. Square Pie also list the kcal/macros for most of their foods onsite, which is pretty ballsy for a supplier of food that will never be accused of being healthy. I'm no fan of pies but they seem like good people so I wish them many further successes!

They're opening their first 'non-London' outlet at the new Grand Central development in Birmingham later this year, and have produced over 120 pie varieties to date - supplying said pie varieties to the likes of Manchester United, Virgin Atlantic Upper Class and Wimbledon Lawn Tennis.
Asides from pies in many forms (and by 'many forms' I mean usually square), they also produce a range of (mainly sausage-centric) British classics such as bangers and mash, sausage rolls, macaroni cheese, etc. Square Pie also list the kcal/macros for most of their foods onsite, which is pretty ballsy for a supplier of food that will never be accused of being healthy. I'm no fan of pies but they seem like good people so I wish them many further successes!
I posted this a while ago on my meme stream, but it didn't properly illustrate exactly what I meant.
It's one thing when a person favs my stuff without giving a nice opinion; what really ticks me off is when people just spam-fav my entire damn stream (like how it is depicted on the right) in which doesn't even seem like humanly possible time for a person to comprehend what they're even adding to their favourites! I mean, I spend hours putting effort into painting and modding or building a scene, and what I get for it is the knowledge that someone had the effort to click a star.
Something that also pisses me off is when people favourite trade pics or posts asking for opinions. Really? These are asking for responses, why do you need these on hand?
I have heard of people giving the excuse "well I favorite things so that I can come back and respond to them later".......I'm still waiting for a response!
It shouldn't be that hard to click in the little box and type a nice little bit of feedback for me. And I swear to god if this gets spam-faved...BLOCKS ALL AROUND!!

I've no excuse really, this should be a much better photo - I was sitting on a chair less that 6' in front of the feeder (with the dogs laying in the grass beside me). I must either get a better camera or learn how to use this one properly!
St Giles' Cathedral, more properly termed the High Kirk of Edinburgh, is the principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its distinctive crown steeple is a prominent feature of the city skyline, at about a third of the way down the Royal Mile which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. The present church dates from the late 14th century, though it was extensively restored in the 19th century, and is protected as a category A listed building.
In 2014 Sir Chris Hoy married his wife Sarra Kemp in St Giles Cathedral.
Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, located in Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. It is the second most populous city in Scotland and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is home to the Scottish Parliament and the seat of the monarchy in Scotland. The city is also the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. It is the largest financial centre in the UK after London.[

This is a photograph from the BHAA K-Club 10KM Road Race and Fun Run 2014 was held at the K-Club Golf and Hotel Resort, Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 12th of April 2013 at 11:00. The race, an annual event, has become famous for it's very fast and flat course which starts and finishes within the grounds of the K-Club. While the weather was dry there was a tough breeze in places which made running conditions a little harder than expected. The road race has gained fame through it's PB potential but the spread of refreshments and catering afterwards are now legendary and are of the highest standard imaginable. Race director Gerry Byrne and a very large team of volunteers, K-Club staff, and local Gardai must be given the highest of compliments for the staging of the event. Well done everyone.
We have an extensive set of photographs on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157643843402565/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

My beautiful little nine year old cousin Charlotte.
I decided to take her on a lovely walk from Thornton to Skipool as it's been a while since i've properly spent time with her. She is such a natural in front of the camera and even had a little go at taking shots herself!

this got selected for a competiton in November :)
Tasting Britain was invited down to East London to experience the mouth searing joy that is the cuisine from the 'Land Of Smiles'. Thanks, Thailand!
Som Saa is a Thai restaurant, currently living in Climpson's Arch, London Fields - and is the brainchild of chef Andy Oliver (who is co-founder and head chef). Andy made a name for himself back in 2009 after making it all the way to the finals in Masterchef. This happened quite soon after he quit his city job to pursue a presumably more fulfilling career in Thai cuisine. Since then, he's done rather well for himself. Andy's worked on street food with the likes of Alan Yau, plus a few stints in restaurants such as . Som Saa is currently enjoying an extension on its summer residency (and we can assume that this extension is due to popular demand)
Anyhow, Andy worked alongside Singha beer to develop a bunch of new recipes, presumably paired with the beer. this menu supposedly focuses on more under represented regions of Thai cuisine, such as North and North Eastern Thailand. As you can see by the sheer volume of, AAA on the table - Andy has been pretty busy. It was all pretty great, but if I had to pick a favourite it'd be the deep fried sea bass. A simultaneously magical and messy thing. That said, it is hard to do sea bass wrong - it's kinda 'delicious by default'
As far as I know, Singha was the first beer to be brewed 'properly' in Thailand (getting 'royal permission' to do so) - beginning production in 1933. It's certainly the only Thai beer that I can think of. Fun fact: 'som saa' is a type of extremely rare Thai lime - I am told that it 'smells like a cross between a lime and a mandarin and is used for its perfume and sweet juice.' Second fun fact: "Chai-Yo" is the Thai way to say "cheers" - I'd use this more often but I don't think I have any Thai friends (which is kinda sad actually - any Thai people wanna be my friend? No? Ok...)
Properly gone too! Had started with a chip near the bottom, then spread right across. Oddly the estate did the same thing too.
Silly thing is it wouldn't have got any worse and, being tall, it wasn't in my vision but it had to be sorted for the forthcoming MoT.
Forever, the toilet in our back bathroom wouldn't flush properly. Plumbers came over today to figure out what was going on. While doing so they discovered the back shower and toilet are attacked to a separate line than all the other facilities in the house. No matter how odd that may be, that within itself isn't a problem. The issue is that subsequent line isn't attached to the main sewage line; it rather takes a 90° turn upward and empties into the back yard. We never noticed any wet spots because it was buried under about two feet of soil. That would explain, however, why the grass grows thick and plush right there.
Suffice it to say, our landlord is pissed. A few years back that line was replaced by a different company. For the past few months our landlord has been trying to get ahold of them to fix this problem and they never returned her calls. Initially we thought the problem with the toilet was the drainage pipe leaving the toilet was angled wrong causing a vapor lock. It does, but I think we discovered the real reason why they felt it best not to call her back. I have a good feeling she's not done with them.
1. How to properly keep fashion jewellery so that it lasts a long time
First and foremost. If you can store our jewellery in the best possible way, you can cut down on the amount of cleaning and maintenance it requires. The following are some suggestions for keeping your jewellery clean and looking new for longer.
After each usage, wipe your jewellery with a clean microfiber towel to avoid having to clean it as frequently. All dirt, water, or air pollution effects that may have impacted and accumulated on the jewellery would be washed away, making it look new for a longer period of time.
Keep your jewels in a safe place. You might put the jewellery in ziplock bags to keep it safe. One component per bag should be designated. The metal will not oxidise or turn green if it is not exposed to air.
The amount of time your jewellery is exposed to air is reduced when you store it in a jewellery box with a closing lid. The plastic pouch protects it from being scratched when it comes into contact with other hard surfaces.
Before putting on your jewellery, spray perfume and apply cosmetics. Anything with a water/oil base has the potential to discolour your jewellery. The polish of the items might be tarnished by perfumes and lotions. Spraying perfume and lotions on the jewellery first will coat it and cause it to discolour. Because water and perspiration are corrosive, don't wear your jewellery in the bath or shower, or when you work out. Wait till your body is completely dry before putting on the jewellery. This would assist to prevent some of the corrosion that causes fashion jewellery to appear dull. The need for frequent cleaning would be minimised as a result of this.
Apply a coat of see-through nail paint to your jewellery as a finishing touch. This would not only make it shine brighter, but it would also help it last longer. This occurs because the layer of nail polish protects the jewellery surface from impurities and corrosion agents.
2. Identify the types of jewellery
To begin jewellery maintenance, you must first determine the material of the jewellery piece and then select the appropriate cleaning procedure. It's the equivalent of washing coloured and white clothes separately.
All related pieces of jewellery should be grouped together. The polishing or plating of one item of jewellery may have an impact on the plating of another.
Stone jewellery should be kept separate since the stones occasionally adhere to the jewellery with adhesive (not the normal grade). You must be certain of the amount of liquid used during cleaning. The liquid has the potential to loosen the stone and cause it to fall out. Using water on the underside of Kundan and enamel items can also discolour them.
3. Pick the tools
For good and better cleaning, you'll need the correct gear. The tools used on the jewellery should be gentle.
Using a delicate brush would be best. This would be able to access the delicate internal places where dirt and flakes collect. The soft toothbrush could be used as well, but only with caution. Scratches on the jewellery may occur if the jewellery is cleaned on hard surfaces. As a result, used toothbrushes are strictly prohibited.
You might also use a soft sponge. They would make it easier to clean flat polished surfaces.
4. Cleaning agent
To verify the effect of the agent on the plating, examine a small area of the jewellery, such as the backside of an earring or a necklace. Should the cleaning agent be used for the complete jewellery piece if the plating looks good for at least 24 hours following treatment on the test surface? Commercial cleaning chemicals are widely accessible on the market. Make sure it doesn't include any ammonia or alcohol. These could be hazardous to your jewellery and cause it to tarnish. If you prefer mild cleaners that may be used at home, the following are some of your possibilities.
Lemon juice
Is a weak acid that comes from nature. Cleaning can be aided by rubbing some lemon juice (diluted with water). Lemon is extremely effective when used over silver.
Vinegar in a water solution
Soak the jewellery in the solution for a while and then brush or sponge clean. If there are any flakes in the cracks, a brush may be useful in removing them.
Mild baby shampoo
Dilute a few drops of baby shampoo in a little amount of water. Pearls can be cleaned using shampoo. The solution should have the consistency of thick tomato soup. Add a few drops of water if the mixture is too thick. Apply the solution to the jewellery piece using a broad brush.
Toothpaste
Toothpaste should never be used on enamel jewellery. Apply toothpaste to a soft brush and gently scrub the jewellery.
Contact lens solution
If you have sensitive skin, you should avoid using contact lens solution. Enamel jewellery should not be treated. Before using the contact lens solution, read the entire contents list as well as the warning labels. Use a brush to apply the contact lens solution and wipe it clean as soon as possible. If the solution is left in the jewellery over an extended period of time, tarnishing may occur.
Rinse the piece in cool water as soon as possible after applying the cleaning solution and washing everything off. Rinse the jewellery only long enough to remove the soapy water solution. Place your jewellery on a towel to absorb any residual water as soon as possible after rinsing it. Using the towel, absorb any surplus water. Blow-dry the jewellery right away. If the jewellery piece is not dried soon, rust and watermarks may develop. Blow-dry the hair until it is completely dry. When blow-drying jewellery with gemstones, use caution because a hotter setting on the dryer may cause the adhesive to melt.
Or, more properly, Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears.
We just returned from a trip off the grid into Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. We stayed at an amazing place called Silver Salmon Creek Lodge.
This was truly an amazing life experience. Deep in wild Alaska, the bears were astonishingly close. This mother and her two cubs were a constant presence around our lodge, always on the look-out for someone leaving silver salmon body parts lying around after catching fish from the abundant Silver Salmon Creek.
I have a ton of pics to process, but this one is an instant fave for me.
It was with a sense of surprise that I realised that I had visited Waltham Abbey's historic church many times but I had never photographed it properly.
Waltham Abbey was founded in 1030 to house a Holy Rood or Cross which became the subject of pilgrimage. Legend says that an Anglo-Danish Thegn called Tovi the Proud found a large black flint crucifix buried at the top of a hill at Montacute, near Glastonbury, following a dream. He loaded the cross onto an ox-cart, but the oxen would only go in one direction and didn't stop until it reached Waltham, a journey of some 150 miles.
Harold Godwinson (later King Harold II) rebuilt, refounded and richly endowed the church in 1060. Legend says that this was because he had been miraculously cured of paralysis by the Holy Cross as a child. He stopped to pray at Waltham on his way to fight Duke William of Normandy, and the battle-cry of the English troops at Hastings was "Holy Cross". After the battle, Harold's corpse is said to have been brought back to the abbey and buried there.

Around 1120 Harold's work was demolished and a new church with crossing tower and transepts was built in the Norman style. In 1177 the abbey was re-founded once more, this time as an Augustinian foundation, by Henry II as part of his penance for the murder of Thomas Becket at Canterbury. The rebuilding, in the Early English style, made the abbey far more extensive than the original Norman establishment, as can be seen today from traces in the abbey grounds.
Those parts of the Norman church east of the crossing were demolished, and a new church, with its own nave, was constructed. The Norman nave was retained as a parish church, divided from the new work by a screen. A cloister was built to the north of the new nave. A short passage that led into the cloister still exists; this, and a fourteenth century gatehouse, are the only surviving monastic buildings.
The Augustinian abbey was a popular place for overnight stays with kings and other notables who were hunting in Waltham Forest. It was the last abbey in England to be dissolved, in 1540 as it was said to be a personal favourite of King Henry VIII. Thomas Tallis was the last organist at the Abbey prior to its dissolution. The Holy Cross disappeared without trace. Henry VIII suggested Waltham as one of the new cathedrals for the Church of England, but the proposal was never implemented.
The Abbey site was leased to Sir Edward Denny and the remnant of the nave became the town's parish church - which it still is today.
The monastic buildings and those parts of the church east of the crossing were demolished at the dissolution, and the Norman crossing tower and transepts collapsed in 1553. The present-day church consists of the nave of the Norman abbey church, the 14th-century Lady Chapel and west wall, and a 16th-century west tower. Markers on the remains of the walls in the grounds indicate the location, before demolition, of the high altar, (beneath which some believe Harold Godwinson is buried).
The interior is notable for the massive Norman piers and also for the many carvings of human faces nestling in the stonework left by the original masons. Waltham Abbey is also noted for its 15th-century Doom painting.
In 1859 the architect William Burges was appointed to undertake a restoration of the site and a refurbishment of the interior. The restoration was extensive; the removal of pews and galleries from the south and west, a new ceiling painted with signs of the zodiac, a new chancel and significant re-building. Work was completed by 1876. Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner said that Burges's remodelling was carried out "with all the robust ugliness which that architect liked".
The Abbey's stained glass is also noteworthy, including early work by Edward Burne-Jones in the rose window and lancets of the east wall, and A K Nicholson in the Lady Chapel. However much was destroyed during WW2 bombing aimed at the nearby Powder Mills.

To properly understand the physical, material remains of that archaeology exposes archaeologists first need to understand the context in which they are found. It is because of this that much archaeological practice has little to do with the spade ~ rather it consists of the research needed before a spade hits the ground. Included in that research has to be an understanding of the of the surroundings in which a site is found.
In Jerusalem this involves a full understanding of the geology of Jerusalem. First and foremost we need to understand that Jerusalem is defined by three valleys: The Kidron, the Tyropoeon and the Hinnom valleys. They surround Jerusalem and help us understand why it developed in the way it did.
Practically the easiest way of explaining this valley system has always been to speak in terms of the Hebrew letter "shin"/"sin" or, in English, a "W". When viewed from the South that is the shape these valley take. Recently a myth has developed suggesting that the Bible's seemingly first name for Jerusalem, "Salem", comes from Abraham first viewing of this city from the South and seeing the valleys form this letter. The above picture shows the relationship of these valleys to each other and Jerusalem. You will note how it very helpfully forms, with this view from the East, the shape of a "shin" on its side; we make no further conclusions about this myth from this interesting fact.
The Pier Head (properly, George's Pier Head is a riverside location in the city centre of Liverpool, England. It is part of the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City UNESCOWorld Heritage Site, which was inscribed in 2004.
The site encompasses a trio of landmarks, built on the site of the former George's Dockand referred to since at least 2000 as "The Three Graces":
* Royal Liver Building, built between 1908 and 1911 and designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas. It is a grade I listed building consisting of two clock towers, both crowned by mythical Liver Birds. The building is the headquarters of the Royal Liver Friendly Society.
* Cunard Building, constructed between 1914 and 1916 and a grade II* listed building. It is the former headquarters of the Cunard Line shipping company.
* Port of Liverpool Building, built from 1903 to 1907 and also grade II* listed. It is the former home of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
Also on the site is the grade II listed Mersey Tunnel building, to the east of the Port of Liverpool building. It was built in the 1930s and contains offices and ventilator equipment for the Queensway Tunnel.
