Someone at a coffee shop accidentally pushed Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring’s iPad off of the counter and shattered the screen. (Technically, it’s called the digitizer. The actual display is inside the iPad and doesn’t typically break.)
The next generation of iPads will be coming out next year so Aggie Ring didn’t want me to buy a replacement with new models coming out soon. Aggie Ring’s current iPad is about 3 years old, so it was out of warranty.
There’s a place near us that fixes broken phones and other devices. They wanted $125.00 to repair the iPad.
“Hell no!” said Aggie Ring.
“What do you want me to do?” I replied.
“You’re going to fix it like a God Damned man.” said Aggie Ring. “Any man that can’t do something as simple as changing out the screen of his iPad should have to wear a dress and have everyone call him Nancy!”
“Well,” I thought to myself. “If that’s the way he really feels about it, I suppose I will just have to man up and fix the iPad myself.”
Aggie Ring went on Ebay and ordered a replacement digitizer screen. It cost him $20.00 plus about $5.00 for shipping. It came from NYC so it arrived two days later.
When the replacement screen arrived, Aggie Ring supervised while he had me get a heat gun and use it on the broken screen to soften the adhesive so the screen could be removed. It took a little care and I had to use a guitar pick and some cut up old credit cards to stick between the screen and the case so as I worked the guitar pick around the screen parts of it that I had separated from the case didn’t stick again.
Once the screen was freed from the case, Aggie Ring had me remove the four screws that hold the display down. There’s a cable under the display that has three screws connecting it to the logic board. You have to hold the display at a 90 degree angle to the logic board while you are removing the three screws or you will rip the delicate cable. Aggie Ring used his trumpet to hold up the display screen while I was removing the three screws. “I knew that trumpet would be good for something.” said Aggie Ring.
After Aggie Ring had me disconnect the display screen, he had me remove the two cables that connect the logic board to the digitizer and the cable that connects to the function button to the logic board.
Aggie Ring instructed me to take a craft knife and go around the edge of the case to remove any excess adhesive and broken glass.
Once the lip of the case was clean and passed Aggie Ring’s inspection. Aggie Ring had me remove the new digitizer screen from the protective bag. Using his trumpet to hold the screen up, Aggie Ring had me carefully reconnect the three cables to the logic board. “Careful!” Yelled Aggie Ring. “This isn’t rocket science, but you have fat fingers. Be gentle!”
When the digitizer was connected, Aggie Ring had me connect the display to the logic board. Again, using the trumpet to hold it steady while I connected it.
As I was about to begin to put the digitizer back on the case Aggie Ring said, “Did you get your fat greasy fingerprints on the display screen?” I looked and I had indeed. Aggie Ring made me get a microfiber cloth and clean the screen so that when the digitizer was put back on the case, he wouldn’t have to look at my fat, greasy fingerprints under the glass.
After the cleanup and final inspection, Aggie Ring had me remove the protective plastic on both sides of the digitizer and the little strips that covered the new adhesive.
“Gently!” said Aggie Ring as I set the new digitizer into the lip of the case and ran my “fat” fingers all around the edges to seal it in. Aggie Ring turned on the iPad and it was as good as new.
“That took what, fifteen minutes?” asked Aggie Ring. “I don’t know how any Aggie who can’t do something as easy as replacing a screen on an iPad could call himself a man!”
“Now.” said Aggie Ring. “Why don’t you take that $100.00 you saved by not being a Nancy Boy in a dress and having to have someone else fix your iPad up to the store and get me some Shiner?”

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fourteen metres at 07:47am on Thursday 22nd October 2015, off Bankside on London's South Bank, from the first intersection on The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Footbridge, which was designed by Norman Foster, and was constructed between 1996 and 2000.
It is a steel suspension bridge for pedestrians crossing the River Thames in London, linking Bankside with the City of London. I affectionately call the Bridge, 'The wibbly-wobbly bridge', after somewhat embarassing teething problems which had the old girl flexing in her moorings when first opened. This view looks towards Monument, Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast moored on the River Thames.

Walk the walls see some great historic buildings and parts of the city sometimes missed it takes about one and half hours may 2009
History
The first walls were wood and earth palisades built to defend the Roman fort in AD 79, although these were replaced by stronger stone walls between the 1st and 3rd century. The walls enclosed a far smaller area than the modern walls, with the south-western corner much further from the River Dee. With the Roman departure from Britain the walls fell into disrepair until 907, when Queen Æthelflæd ordered the fortification of the city in response to the Viking settlement of the nearby Wirral Peninsula.
Following the construction of Chester Castle in 1070, the walls were extended south-west towards the river, with a short spur off the north-west corner to defend the Roodee, at the time a valuable shipping port.
During the English Civil War, Chester was a Royalist stronghold and was heavily besieged. Charles I of England intended to break the siege with a concentrated attack, allowing Irish allies access to the port. However, Charles I watched from the Phoenix Tower (King Charles' Tower),part of the city walls, as his forces were defeated in the Battle of Rowton Heath. Charles I fled and the city was completely circumvallated and contravallated by the Parliamentarians.
The siege engines and cannons used by the Parliamentarians caused great damage to the walls, with many sections completely breached. As a result the wall was almost impassable, so the walls were much repaired and renovated during the Georgian era. The walls became a popular promenade, with many of the towers and gatehouses removed or adapted to allow free movement along the entire circuit of the walls. The Victorians further adapted the walls, with the original medieval gates being removed and replaced with wider ornamental gates. The famous Eastgate Clock was added in 1899, to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
The most recent change to the walls was made in 1966, when the St. Martin's Gate was built to allow the A5268, or Chester ring road, to pass through the city. The gate is a brutalist-modernist concrete footbridge between the Northgate and the Water Tower.
The walls form an almost complete circuit 2 miles (3 km) long; the only breaks being for the entrance to the car park of the Cheshire County Council headquarters and the approach road to the Grosvenor Bridge. The walls are both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument Despite this protection, the local Conservatives have raised concerns about the state of the walls, claiming that damage due to vandalism and erosion of the walls is unsightly and poses a danger. However, Chester City Council, who are responsible for maintenance of the walls, have rebuked the claims, stating that the walls are kept safe, and that the sandstone used to build the wall is especially prone to weathering. Following the collapse of a section of the wall on 3 April 2008, a 30-metre section of the wall near the Grosvenor Hotel has been closed to the public while repairs are planned.
A famous archaic bye-law of Chester states that any Welshman loitering within the city walls after sunset may be killed by decapitation or shot with a longbow. The law was originally imposed by King Henry V following the Welsh Revolt. This order was never repealed, and still officially stands on the statute to this day, although it no longer provides protection against prosecution for murder.
This aircraft was developed to replace the Martin B-10 and was based on the Douglas DC-2 commercial transport. It competed with an early version of the Boeing B-17 and won out. By 1939 it was considered to be underpowered, to inadequate defensive armament and carried too small a bomb load. Some were destroyed at Pearl Harbor and in 1942 were relegated to anti-submarine or transport duty. A B-18 was the first American aircraft to sink a U-Boat. This is the oldest aircraft in the museum collection, built in 1938.
ISS035-E-036829 (11 May 2013) --- Expedition 35 Flight Engineers Tom Marshburn (pictured) and Chris Cassidy (out of frame) completed a space walk at 2:14 p.m. EDT May 11 to inspect and replace a pump controller box on the International Space Station’s far port truss (P6) leaking ammonia coolant.

An interesting church, built in the 1700s replacing an earlier church that had fallen into disrepair. As with nearby Chalbury, the church retains box pews.
The tower has been attributed to Vanbrugh, but this may have been through a recycled design rather than directly for the church. Interestingly the angels in the panel behind the altar have similarities to those that appear in Hawksmoor churches, Hawksmoor being a clerk of works to Vanbrugh as well as a architect in his own right.
Other features to look out for are the effigies of Sir Giles Braose in Purbeck Marble ; the other in Ham Hill stone is of his first wife Beatrice and a grave marker, now on the wall, which had previously migrated to the old rectory where it was used as a flag stone.
A small war memorial notice near the entrance references the WW1 submarine, the attack on which by the Germans almost brought neutral Denmark into the war. A written history can be found here www.thedanishscheme.co.uk/Articles/Story%20E13%20english.pdf

First flown in Nov-90 with the Boeing test registration N1795B, this aircraft was delivered to Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services (AWAS) and leased to VASP Brasil as PP-SOC in Feb-91.
It was repossessed in Nov-92 and stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA. It was re-registered N223AW in Dec-92. The aircraft had been due for lease to Transbrasil as PT-TEP but the lease was cancelled.
In Apr-93 the aircraft was leased to Jet Airways (India) as VT-JAA and returned to AWAS in Jan-99. It was leased to Air Tanzania as 5H-TCA in Feb-99 and returned to the lessor in Apr-03. It was leased to Karthago Airlines as TS-IEE in May-03.
It returned to the lessor as N790AW in Apr-09 and was stored at Marana, AZ, USA. In Aug-09 it was leased to Aerosur (Bolivia) as CP-2595. They ceased operations at the end of Mar-12 and the aircraft was repossessed, re-registered N790AW and stored at Cochabamba, Bolivia.
The registration was cancelled in Oct-12 and the aircraft was permanently retired. It was last noted still stored at Cochabamba, still as CP-2595, in Dec-12 with parts of the tail missing. Updated 30-Aug-22.
The church San Sebastian de La Rochette replaced in the 1180s building a robust eleventh century. His plan is simple: a single nave, transept crossing a fake and a semicircular apse.
The facade has a central portal to three naked arches and two side arches each containing a small carved tympanum. North tympanum (left has a equestrian figure stomping a little character. Latter holds a scholarship. So it can be a representation of the victory of virtue over greed, vice. Unless not necessary to see here a figure of Constantine, the first Christian emperor, symbolizing the triumph of the church over paganism.
To the south, presented under the guise of a bearded man squatting edge at full speed vice symbolized by a character riding a fantastic animal.
Some interpretations have this man as Samson the lion.
Above the portal, consoles indicate the past presence of a built in 1632 to enlarge the church and now defunct porch. A series of ornate corbels and confined by two columns window occupy the upper part of the facade.
Capitals in replacement were placed high up the corners of the front and side walls. These are punctuated by massive buttresses. Animals, plants and various characters adorn the corbels supporting the ledge to the north and south.
The apse is supported by two flat and shows no ornamentation foothills. A bell tower overcomes the false transept crossing. Its floor is drilled in 1905 recovered five openings: two kinds of loopholes in the west and a rectangular bay on each other faces.
Coverage of the building, recently restored (1980), consists of limestone slate.
Inside, the nave is covered with a broken and divided into three bays by arches falling on half-columns with carved cradle. Three bays are drilled north and south. Those in the north had been walled up in the early sixteenth century.
The full cradle vaulted arch above the apse false square topped by a cul-de-four and lit by an opening window in the south.
We also find this side of a swimming pool and two niches of cabinets.
The interior of San Sebastian offers fine examples of Romanesque sculpture. In addition to the palms and animal heads, we see, at the entrance of false square, a lion, one of the hind legs is devoured by a head. Its tail ends itself in the form of head. Cinch corner and scrolls adorn the capitals framing the entrance to the sanctuary.
The capitals of the nave have, among other characters grappling with ducks, lions devouring the arms of a man or an unfortunate armed with a spear and defending against a monster that already eats up a knee.
As the eardrums of the facade, most of these storied capitals involved a pervasive iconography in the decor of our medieval churches intended to illustrate the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

Sixteen BLM Wyoming Rock Springs Field Office staff worked hand-in-hand with 11 volunteers to replace almost a quarter-mile of net wire fencing with wildlife friendly buck-and-rail fencing during a National Public Lands Day event at the historic 40-acre Crookston Ranch.
The ranch is located in the Greater Sand Dunes Area of Critical Environmental Concern near the Killpecker Sand Dunes Open Play Area northeast of Rock Springs, Wyo. and eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as a representative example of Wyoming Basin homesteading era architecture. The BLM plans to preserve the historic nature of the ranch and provide interpretation on ranching history in the area.
Stover Country Park comprises part of the 80,000-acre estate acquired by James Templer, a Devonian entrepreneur, in the late Eighteenth Century. Templer replaced the old house, Stoford Lodge, and in 1777 built himself a large mansion house in the Palladian style which he named Stover House. He undertook a landscaping scheme to form the gardens of the house, which significantly influenced the appearance of the area. It included the construction of Stover Lake, which covers approximately 4.05 hectares (10 acres), with water originally entering from the Ventiford Brook. The works included the planting of exotic trees and shrubs and the construction of a 1.5 mile carriage drive. Also to be included in the Templers’ legacy to the area is the Stover Canal, which runs from Jetty Marsh, Newton Abbot to nearby Ventiford, and the Haytor Granite Tramway (combined they form much of the Templer Way).
boundary_stoneTwo granite boundary markers have been erected next to the inlet channel. These were originally positioned either side of the then Ashburton Turnpike at the point where the granite tramway crossed near Heathfield between 1820 and 1860. The initials H,T,W and B, cut into the granite, are abbreviations for ‘Haytor Tram Way Bounds’. The historical remains of the Stover Canal (cut in 1790-1792) can be found to the south-east of the Park starting at Ventiford, Teigngrace.
The 18 mile Templer Way from Haytor to Teignmouth passes through the Park. It follows the route of granite transported from Dartmoor to the coast. The remains of the canal and the subsequent railway also illustrate the transport of clay and other goods. For further information please select The Templer Way. There is also an associated 4.5 mile Heritage Trail James Templer’s Guide to the Heritage Trail.
carriage_drive The Stover estate remained in the Templer family until 1829 when it was sold to Edward Adolphus Seymour, the eleventh Duke of Somerset. The gatehouse (which is now a Grade II listed building) was added to the start of the carriage drive at this time. In 1842 James Veitch, the illustrious Devon plantsman and landscaper, advised the Duke of Somerset of improvements that might be made to the grounds of Stover. Among his advice was that some land still needed draining, in certain places walks and grassy glades could be introduced and some of the ‘tall, naked laurels’ cut back. He also suggested that some groups of rhododendrons be planted. Seymour maintained Stover as his principle residence in the County and it remained wholly in that family until the death of the grandson of the twelfth Duke of Somerset in 1927. However, some of the Stover estate was sold off prior to this in 1921. Since 1932 Stover House has been the location for the privately run Stover School, standing just outside the boundary of the Park.

The statue of Frank Howard by husband and wife team, Omri Amrany and Julie Rotblatt, was erected in the Center Field Plaza of Nationals Park in 2009. The white bronze statue, along with those of fellow DC baseball heroes, Walter Johnson and Josh Gibson, seeks to capture the fourth dimension of movement.
Frank Howard, nicknamed Hondo and The Capital Punisher, played for the Washington Senators from 1965-1971. He also spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, and Taiheiyo Club Lions during his 17 year career. Howard was named the National League's Rookie of the Year in 1960. When he retired, he held the Washington/Texas franchise records for games, atbats, homers, hits, RBI's, runs, doubles and slugging.
Nationals Park, located along the Anacostia River in the Navy Yard neighborhood, replaced http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/143725707/">RFK Stadium as the home for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball in 2008. The ballpark, designed by Populous (formerly HOK Sport) and Devrouax & Purnell Architects and Planners, seats 41,888 fans and cost $611 million to build. The park's name echoes the original name of the early-1900s ballpark used by the Washington Senators/Nationals, which was called National Park until it was rebuilt and renamed Griffith Stadium.
This marker is a bit of a mystery. A metal marker was placed on this site in 2009 or 2010. In 2012 the marker went missing and I decided to replace it with one of my own (The larger cross in this photo.) Now in 2013 the original marker has returned and placed in front of the Jane Doe marker I made as a replacement. What happened to it for a year? Who could have taken it and why did they decide to replace it?

Name lost to time is found
11 years later, fingerprints lead to identity of woman who died in hit-and-run
07:37 AM CST on Friday, December 21, 2007
Her name is Patsy Lee Ross.
She was 54 years old the night a pickup struck and killed her on the Interstate 35 service road at Ganzer Road. She had two daughters.
At last, we know.
The woman known as Jane Doe since July 28, 1996, has been identified. Her daughters finally know what happened after she walked away from one of their homes in 1995.
Denton County medical examiner investigators finally can close the case that has been open for 11 years.
The Denton County resident who has kept the woman’s ashes and a video of the memorial service on a shelf finally can accomplish the task she set for herself.
Fran Brown was foreman of the grand jury that indicted the hit-and-run driver. She took the woman’s cremated remains and put them in an urn. She kept photographs and notebooks crammed full of facts about the case. She organized a memorial service to draw attention to the unidentified woman and videotaped it so that loved ones would eventually know that people cared about their mother, even if the mourners didn’t know who she was.
“It’s a Christmas miracle!” Brown said Thursday from her Carrollton home. “I’m so happy. I was so taken by surprise today when they called and told me. I’d been told all along that we wouldn’t find out who she was unless someone was looking for her. But it didn’t happen that way.”
Denton police found the woman’s body tossed against the embankment of the Ganzer Bridge over I-35. She had been struck by a vehicle that had left some debris when it sped away. An investigation led to the arrest of Cory Lee Prince, a 20-year-old Oklahoma man who admitted striking something but said he thought it had been a bush.
Brown and the other grand jury members were anxious to get the case before their three-month term ran out, she said. They indicted Prince, and he entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to four years probation.
But the victim carried no identification, had no scars or tattoos and was too badly injured by the accident to be photographed for public access. Drawings were circulated at the time, and numerous newspaper stories ran in Texas and other areas.
A small funeral took place for her, and she was cremated.
Two years later, Brown organized another service to draw attention to the unidentified woman. The service generated a great deal of publicity, some of it national, but no one came forward with identification.
So Brown put the urn on a shelf in her computer room, surrounded by stuffed animals, and waited.
She made arrangements for the ashes to be buried with her, Brown said.
“I couldn’t just leave her here alone. I couldn’t just leave her hanging around on a shelf in the basement of the courthouse when I found out that’s where she was,” she said. “And I couldn’t leave her behind when I went, either.”
Last week Troy Taylor, chief investigator for the Denton County medical examiner’s office, decided to try one more time to make identification.
The woman’s fingerprints didn’t match anything in the federal fingerprint identification system at the time, and the agency has run the prints back through several times a year ever since.
This time, the prints got a hit. Patsy Lee Ross had been arrested in 1995 for felony larceny in a small county in Virginia. But, as is the case in many smaller agencies, that agency didn’t turn in its prints to the federal clearinghouse agency. Only within the past few months has it begun sharing its fingerprints.
“We’ve probably run them 15 to 20 times, maybe more, but they never popped up because they weren’t in the system yet,” Taylor said. “They’d been on a fingerprint card in the back of a drawer in some deputy’s office. Had we known that she had been arrested, we could have identified her the day she died. But that’s the reason we keep trying,” he said.
The arrest report included the address of one of the woman’s daughters.
Ross’ daughters did not want to talk to reporters. But Taylor said they were relieved to finally know what happened to their mother.
“Her daughter said she was mentally unstable. She was living with her mother and [the mother] just kind of left one day. She thought she’d be back but she never came. She had prepared herself for the worst,” Taylor said.
One daughter lives in Minneapolis and the other lives in Virginia, Taylor said.
“She has no idea what her mother was doing in Texas. They don’t have relatives here,” Taylor said. “She said her mother couldn’t handle life. After her divorce, she was in a mental institution for a while.
“She’s so relieved,” Taylor said. “She’s almost as happy as she is sad.”
Janan Kline, who works in the medical investigator’s office, spent hours running down clues and making calls. Last week, she visited a metal cross set up on the embankment where Ross died. Someone had placed a new bouquet of silk flowers there.
This week, Kline cried along with Fran Brown when she called to tell her the news.
“This really is a Christmas miracle,” Kline said. “Case closed.”

"The Citroën CX is an executive car produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1974 to 1991.
Citroën sold nearly 1.2 million CXs during its 16 years of production. The CX was voted European Car of the Year in 1975.
The name CX is derived from the symbol {\displaystyle \scriptstyle C_{\mathrm {x} }\,} {\displaystyle \scriptstyle C_{\mathrm {x} }\,} for drag coefficient, drawing attention to the car's aerodynamic design, which was uncommon in 1974.
It is considered by some enthusiasts as the last "real Citroën" before Peugeot took control of the company in 1976.
The CX was also the final successful model of the "big Citroën" era, which began in 1934.
Available models were a four-door fastback, a station wagon (shooting brake, or estate car), and a long-wheelbase model built on the estate chassis. T
he CX employed Citroën's unique hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension system."

Design variations
"CX was available from the factory in three body styles, with 13 different inline-four engines."
- Four door SWB fastback
"The original CX design was a four-door fastback, with a shorter Wheelbase. It was sold in a variety of trim and engine options, the highest designated Pallas. The factory never offered a conventional three-box styling notchback, nor a hatchback."
- Estate/Wagon/Break
"The 'estate ("Safari" in the United Kingdom; Break in France), produced from 1975 until 1991, was a 10 in (25 cm) longer car. It was also offered as the Familiale with three rows of seats, seating 7 people. These models had increased load capacity (baggage; equipment; passengers), taking full advantage of the CX's self-levelling suspension.
The Estate was the last CX to be replaced.
It was one of the largest, and because of its suspension, most practical, family cars available in Europe.
The Safari was very popular with speedway riders and other motorcycle racers, as the capacious design meant a bike could easily fit in the back."
- Prestige
"The CX short wheel base fastback had insufficient rear legroom to function as a chauffeur driven limousine (a common use for the spacious DS model), so in 1976, Citroën introduced another 10 in (25 cm) longer version, the "Prestige" variant." (...)
This weekend, we replaced segments of track at 52 St on the 7 line.

With a history this long, you can tell this aircraft has had a busy life!! First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWBR, this aircraft was delivered to Orix Leasing and leased to Translift Airways (Ireland) as EI-TLF in Jun-94.

It was still sub-leased to Thomas Cook when Skyservice ceased operations at the end of Mar-10.

先日買ったニコワンことNikon 1用の単焦点レンズ「1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8」用にレンズフードを購入。純正品の指定ではフジツボ型の「HB-N104」だけど、これが実に気持ち悪い形をしてる。フジツボ型とは良く言ったモンで、フジツボ見ると鳥肌が立つタイプな私としては許しがたかった。ネットで調べてみると、同じくNikon1用標準ズームレンズ1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6のレンズフードであるHB-N101が流用可能なことが分かる。ただ、このHB-N101は私も１つ買ったことあるけれど実に作りが悪いのに1900円弱もしやがる。
いろいろAmazonを見ていると、無駄に高いHB-N101互換品（＝パチもん）として怪しい中華製の「HB-N101 互換品LH-N101」が出ていることを発見。価格も約半額。純正品も別に良いモノでは無いので怪しいコレでいいや、とポチる。実用上の問題は全く感じませんから、コレで良いと思います。
パッケージにも商品にも単刀直入に「Replaces Nikon HB-N101」と書かれているから実に笑える。中国ってナンでもアリなんだな。

BQE Software replaced their old-technology fluorescent light fixtures with LEDtronics new DLC and UL-Listed LED Thin Panel Lights throughout their office! With their sleek, modern design and even, bright light, the panel lights each only consume 40 watts (2x2) and 50 watts (2x4) to replace up to a 130 watt fluorescent fixture!
LEDtronics offers the Thin Panel Lights in three different sizes: 2 ft by 2 ft, 2 ft by 4ft, and 1 ft by 4 ft. The light panels come in the color temperatures Warm White (3000K), Medium White (3500K), Natural White (4000K), and Pure White (5000K).
Additionally, the minimal lamp heat output of LEDs over that produced by fluorescent tubes keeps temperatures in offices and hallways optimally lower, saving building air-conditioning costs. They are DLC, UL, and ETL-Listed, and come with a 5-year LEDtronics warranty!

Rocky Mountain Lineman Gabe Huston replaces overhead groundwire and fiber hardware on the Miracle Mile-to-Snowy Range 115-kilovolt line, Sept. 2. The crews used the long-line helicopter method, trained on the day before, to transition from structure to structure and to carry equipment instead of the more time-consuming bucket trucks. About 25 linemen completed 10 miles of maintenance in two days using the helicopter.
