Corbeil School Buses will replace all of the nasty annoying Six Flags buses from the 2000s because Corbeil School Buses are friendly with a friendly smile face symbol especially I am making schools be all friendly and happy with Disney Snow White and Pinocchio stuff, kind and respectful and caring teachers, green chalkboards, electric mechanical wall bells, yellow classroom walls, Corduroy the Bear with two buttons on his overalls, and Blue's Clues Steve notebooks and Blue's Clues and You Josh notebooks etc whereas the nasty annoying Six Flags bus from the 2000s are extremely annoying and also played that extremely annoying song we all hate which was titled "We like to Party by the Vengaboys" and the Vengaboys song "We Like to Party" MUST BE BANNED and never ever get revived because it annoyed everybody and reminds everybody of T.R. Chula's white saliva and I never ever want anything to go on T.R. Chula's white saliva. The Vengaboys song "We Like to Party" even annoyed Justin Timberlake too not just me and the McDonaldland kids singers. Mr. Six the mascot of Six Flags of 2004 MUST BE BANNED and NEVER EVER get revived in the future because Mr. Six is so bald, annoying, and freaky and freaks people out and have killed the happiness of the late 1990s which is getting restored forever. And Mr. Six have danced to the worst annoying song we all hate which is called "We Like to Party" and also have restored the worst Tom and Jerry cartoon "Tom and Jerry: The Movie" with some bratts were getting bad advice from this movie with convience taking over good old fashioned traditional stuff is the exaggerated house demolition in 1992's Tom and Jerry the movie with a pear-shaped wrecking ball destroying the beautiful old fashioned living house and replacing it with a garage full of ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated confusing misleading red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is extremely mean-spirited and is a yield sign that says stop which is extremely wrong and confusing to people who are deaf, color blind, can't read, or don't speak English. Also old fashined traditional stuff are extremely important not just conviences. Good thing I am making safety collaborations by updating all ice cream trucks to all have the current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word children slow crossing and or school bus swing arm stop signs which are octagon shaped especially I know for a fact in all traffic signs the shape is the most important not just the word and color especially in all stop signs the octagon shape is the most important not just the word and color in the 2000s when McDonald's had super-size which made our economy gone bad. So when Mr. Six gets Banned we will all tear apart the Six Flags buses used in the Six Flags commercial when Mr. Six was the masscot as new playplace play equipments for McDonald's restaurants and we will also smash the music box inside of these Six Flags buses into pieces so we will never ever hear that annoying song "We like to Party" ever again. So T.R. Chula the evil Tarantula from Fievel Goes West MUST BE BURNED INTO ASHES IN A FIRE and extinguish his white saliva for good. Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) MUST BE BANNED never ever get revived in the future because Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) does have an upsetting unrealistic house demolition with an old fashioned pear-shaped wrecking ball destroying a beautiful old fashioned living house because of it being decades old ruining nostalgia and ruining my golden toddlerhood and abused many Blue's Clues Steve fans making them think the wrecking ball destroyed the handy dandy notebooks which we all love because the destroyed house at the beginning of Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) does look slightly identical to the Blue's Clues House and now even the destroyed Handy Dandy Notebooks are getting mended back together. So I hereby Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992) to BE BANNED FOREVER due to abusing Blue's Clues Steve Fans like me. Tom and Jerry: The Movie MUST BE BANNED because it has an unrealistic house demolition with a very bad old fashioned wrecking ball that upsets people so bad and abused many Blue's Clues Steve Fans and some bratts were getting bad advice from this movie with convience taking over good old fashioned traditional stuff is the exaggerated house demolition in 1992's Tom and Jerry the movie with a pear-shaped wrecking ball destroying the beautiful old fashioned living house and replacing it with a garage full of ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated confusing misleading red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is extremely mean-spirited and is a yield sign that says stop which is extremely wrong and confusing to people who are deaf, color blind, can't read, or don't speak English.

. Similar to modern Simpsons (seasons 19 and Later) 1992's Tom and Jerry the movie is another bad media showing convience taking over good important traditional stuff with a pear-shaped wrecking ball destroying a beautiful old fashioned living house and replace the house with convient high rise appartment building with a garage full of ice cream trucks with the bad old oudated confusing misleading red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which was mean-spirited and ruining my golden toddlerhood. In the 2000s, Warner Bros reviving 1992's Tom and Jerry the movie and and selling too many DVD copies of that movie surpassing Corduroy the Bear and his buttons was all McDonald's corporation and Bogen Communication's fault because the super size at McDonald's was brainwashing many people by reviving the bad old 1992 Tom and Jerry movie and popularizing Bogen Multicom 2000 and their mean spirited bell tones that are haunted chimes that don't sound like a bell at all scaring off kids especially kids with autism and making them not want to go to school and abandoning my golden toddler stuff like Corduroy the Bear with two buttons on his green corduroy overalls but good thing I am undoing all of the bad influence the super size gave us by restoring my golden toddlerhood, safety improvements, kindness improvements, reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that corduroy the bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and bringing back all nostalgic inducing stuff like green chalkboards and electric mechanical wall bells etc and create a nostalgic inducing future. So this is why all broadcasts of The Simpsons MUST BE BY LAW MANDATED to be ONLY reruns of classic Simpsons (first 18 seasons of The Simpsons). This is why all schools MUST BE BY LAW MANDATED to be set up like Middleborough, Hilltop School from Timothy Goes to School, and or my DeVry building in North Brunswick, NJ and all with green chalkboards, electric mechanical wall bells, and Corbeil school buses and other school buses with electric stop arms, and only kind-spirited stuff like Disney Snow White and Pinocchio stuff and Corduroy the Bear with two buttons on his green corduroy overalls and Steve Notebooks etc, and no mean-spirited stuff like Bogen Multicom 2000 and that mean scary looking grumpy face with the freaky spikey eyelashes and triangular eyes and razor blade forehead wrinkles they used to have on Gordon in the old live action model version of Thomas and Friends and no processed foods in the school lunches. This is why McDonald's restaurants MUST BE BY LAW MANDATED to be McEyebrows with the yellow and orange striped awnings, arch wedge the new aluminum exterior I have created, or the original 1970s version of the iconic double sloped mansard roof and better and safe updated indoor PlayPlaces with low and safe steps and slides and green chalkboards and or just the dining room option (no playplace), This is why all ice cream trucks MUST BE BY LAW MANDATED to be all updated to the current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING and or school bus stop signs and that all ice cream trucks MUST BE BY LAW MANDEDTED TO GET RID of the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO for good, This is why Crayola Crayon boxes MUST BE BY LAW MANDATED to be new modern 1997 boxes. This is why school PA systems MUST BE BY LAW MANDATED to be Rauland Telecenter or PA systems with no bell tones. And this is why Nelvana and Hanna-Barbera MUST TAKE OVER Warner Bros. Animation. The reality is that demolition are based on how bad the building is damaged not on how old the building is like in 1992's Tom and Jerry the movie. The Vengaboys song, We like to Party MUST BE BANNED and never ever get revived in the future because this song annoys people very bad and reminds them of T.R. Chula's white saliva and I never ever want anything on T.R. Chula's white saliva and especially in 2004, they introduced the worst and most creepy mascot to Six Flags who was called Mr. Six who will also be banned too because he danced to this annoying song we all hate and this is one of the reasons why Six Flags MUST SHUT DOWN forever and get replaced by Corbeil School Bus Manufacturing Plants and we want the world to be a friendlier place too not with this annoying song by the Vengaboys. This song doesn't only annoy me this song also annoys Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Buffett.

Replacing an earlier digital photo with a better version 17-Nov-19.
An early build B777-268ER (l/n 98) first flown with the Boeing test regostration N50217, this aircraft was delivered to Saudia, Saudi Arabian Airlines as HZ-AKA in Dec-97. It was repainted in SkyTeam livery in May-12. It was permanently retired at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in Mar-17.
Replaced all the old vacuum lines with new 4mm silicone hoses.
Result, tighter boost and little bit faster on the pedal.
Also highly recommended DIY job!
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Acton, London*. Here are the details of the project
Brief: The plot for this design was a mid-size family garden, which had recently benefited from the addition of a large sunroom on the back of the property. It was a fairly blank canvas, with nothing of note to be retained in the re-design. The garden had side access and worn boundary fences which required replacing. There was no clear brief other than that the design include a seating area and some lawn, and that the transition from sunroom to garden be fairly seamless.
Solution: The focus of this design was to create an exterior space that serves as an extension to the interior, featuring several distinct and versatile areas that can be adapted to a variety of uses.
The garden's boundaries were replaced with new fencing to provide a uniform and attractive backdrop to the transformation within, while the long sideway down the right of the house was renovated with the addition of attractive 'bamboo' slate tile flooring in a random lay pattern.
The first section of the space comprises a large area of Western Red Cedar decking adjoining the house, and offers ample room for entertaining, with a long L-shaped fixed-bench seat stretching width-ways across the space from the left-hand side to the centre. This was backed with a rendered block raised bed, planted with fragrant lavender and capped with 'bamboo' slate tile, to provide a sense of enclosure and separation from the rest of the garden.
A decked walkway running down the right hand side of the space provides access to a 'spa' area, featuring a large square hot tub housed upon a reinforced paved hard-standing and nestled between existing and additional trees, shrubs and foliage to provide a secluded and intimate area for bathing throughout the seasons. Hidden behind mature and new planting in the bottom left corner, a large shed provides ample storage for the client's garden accessories. The middle of the space has been given over to a large lawn edges with slate.
A purple and yellow planting scheme of soft, cottage-style evergreen shrubs and flowering perennials will help to bring year round lightness and subtle colouring to the space.
After-dark hot tub bathing is enhanced by several strings of pea-lights woven through the existing shrubbery. Deck lights demark the main area of decking and guide one's journey along the decked walkway. Finally, spot lights in the beds highlight certain area while providing a gentle wash throughout the space.
Testimonial: "After months of planning and a full year of having builders everywhere, we had finally got the house into good shape but the garden was a nightmare. It had been somewhat overgrown before the builders moved in, but after a year of being used as a builders yard, it needed shock treatment.
We needed help fast so we searched the web. We were looking for garden designers with creative ideas for smaller London gardens. We didn't want anything too traditional but at the same time, nothing too extreme.
Earth Designs fitted the bill and after a design session with Katrina, we engaged them for the project. They had offered us a design service only, but as we only had a 4 week window in which to complete the job, we gave them the whole project.
We had built a new extension with wide glass doors that opened out into the garden, so the brief to Earth Designs was to "bring the outside, inside" and create a strong link between the new room and the garden beyond. The actual garden space was not large so we wanted to use the space as an extension of the living space - to be an "outside room".
Monday 18th April and three very charming men arrived on our doorstep at 8.0am sharp. Arlo was the project manager, ably aided and abetted by Paul and Phillip. They worked brilliantly as a team and always hit all the deadlines. In particular they did a great job in working with our neighbours to ensure the whole project ran smoothly.
The first week involved clearing the site - no mean feat with 30-year-old ivy stems that looked more like tree trunks.
The second week involved levelling the garden, putting up new fencing, building the corner seating base and planters, plus marking out the garden shape. It was good to be able to make minor changes to the design on the ground at this stage. The hot tub arrived too and was winched into place for connection later.
Week 3 saw the decking and seating built.
Then in week four the turf arrived, the lawn went down and on the last day, Katrina arrived with a truckload of wonderful specimens (and Matt) and we had a wonderful time planting. Ground Force Mk II - a complete garden from start to finish in just 4 weeks!
There were a few things that needed to be sorted out after the main work was complete. Earth Designs were great about coming back until all was complete and finished.
Our thanks to Katrina, Matt, Arlo, Paul and Phillip for a great job, completed on time and on budget with a great looking result."

St Mary stands on a hill overlooking what was once the sea and sand spit of land that Sandwich still sits. The sea has receded, but St Mary is still there, its wooden cupola topped tower visible for those who look for it, or notice these things in the 21st Century.
This was my third visit to the Blessed Mary, first time I found it locked, second time wardens were preparing it for the Nativity service.
It was open, and even had a welcoming sign hanging near to the gate to the churchyard, always welcome.
-----------------------------------------
The tower makes this church one of the easiest in Kent to identify. It is capped by a little cupola and wooden balustrade of eighteenth-century date that replaced a medieval spire. During the Middle Ages the church was owned by Leeds Priory which invested heavily in the structure, and was no doubt responsible for the excellent sedilia built in about 1350. The canopy is supported by a quadripartite vault in turn supported by angry little heads. Above the sedilia is the cut-off end of a prickett beam. The east window, of Decorated style stonework, has a thirteenth-century hangover in the form of a shafted rere-arch. There are two excellent modern stained glass windows designed by F.W Cole, which show the Creation (1980) and St Francis (1992). The good altar rails are of Queen Anne's reign, as are the splendid Royal Arms.

WOODNESBOROUGH,
¶OR Winsborough, as it is usually called, lies the next parish northward from Eastry, being written in the survey of Domesday, Wanesberge. It took its name according to Verstegan, from the Saxon idol Woden, (and it is spelt by some Wodensborough) whose place of worship was in it; however that may be, the termination of the word berge, or borough, shews it to be of high antiquity.
art of this parish, over which the manor of Boxley claims, is within the jurisdiction of the justices of the town and port of Sandwich, and liberty of the cinque ports; and the residue is in the hundred of Eastry, and jurisdiction of the county of Kent.
There are three boroughs in this parish, viz. Cold Friday, Hamwold, and Marshborough; the borsholders of which are chosen at the petty sessions of the justices, acting at Wingham, for the east division of the lath of St. Augustine.
THIS PARISH is large, being two miles and an half one way, and upwards of a mile and an half the other. The church stands nearly in the centre of it, on high ground. At a small distance from the church is Woodnesborough hill, both of which are sea marks. This hill is a very high mount, seemingly thrown up by art, and consisting of a sandy earth, it has been thought by some to have been the place on which the idol Woden from whom this place is supposed to have taken its name) was worshipped in the time of the Saxons; by others to be the burial place of Vortimer, the Saxon king, who died in 457, whilst others suppose this mount was raised over those who fell in the battle fought between Ceoldred, king of Mercia, and Ina, king of the West Saxons, in the year 715, at Woodnesbeorb, according to the Saxon chronicle, which name Dr. Plot supposes to be Woodnesborough. Vortimer, as our historians tell us, at his death, desired to be buried near the place where the Saxons used to land, being persuaded that his bones would deter them from any attempt in future. Though authors differ much on the place of his burial, yet this mount at Woodnesborough is as probable, or more so, perhaps, than any other, for it was near to, and was cast up so high as to be plainly seen from the Portus Rutupinus, which at that time was the general landing place of the Saxon fleets. Some years ago there were found upon the top of it sundry sepulchral remains, viz. a glass vessel (engraved by the Rev. Mr. Douglas, in his Nænia;) a fibula, (engraved by Mr. Eoys, in his collections for Sandwich;) the head of a spear, and some fragments of Roman vessels. Much of the earth of sand has been lately removed round the sides of it, but nothing further has been found.
At a small distance northward from hence, at the bottom of a short steep hill, lies the village called Woodnesborough-street, and sometimes Cold Fridaystreet, containing thirty four houses. The vicaragehouse is situated in the middle of it, being a new handsome building; almost contiguous to it is a handsome sashed house, belonging to the Jull family, now made use of as a poor-house; through this street the road leads to Sandwich. West ward of the street stands the parsonage-house, late the seat of Oliver Stephens, esq. deceased, and now of his window, as will be further noticed hereafter. Besides the manors and estates in this parish, particularly described, in the western parts of it there are several hamlets, as Somerfield, Barnsole, Coombe, with New-street, Great and Little Flemings, Ringlemere, and the farm of Christians Court.
In the north east part of the parish, the road from Eastry, by the parsonage of Woodnesborough northwestward, divides; one road, which in antient deeds is called Lovekys-street, going towards Ash-street; the other through the hamlet of Marshborough, formerly called Marshborough, alias Stipins, to Each End and Sandwich, the two windmills close to the entrance of which are with in the bounds of this parish. Each, Upper Each, called antiently Upriche, and Each End, antiently called Netheriche, were both formerly accounted manors, and are mentioned as such in the marriage settlement of Henry Whyte, esq. in the beginning of queen Elizabeth's reign. After the Whytes, these manors passed in like manner as Grove, in this parish, to the James's. Upper Each, or Upriche, has for many years belonged to the family of Abbot, of Ramsgate, and is now the property of John Abbot, esq. of Canterbury. Each End, or Netheriche, belongs, one moiety to the heirs or devisees of the late earl of Strafford, and the other moiety to John Matson, esq. of Sandwich.
¶It cannot but occur to the reader how much this parish abounds with Saxon names, besides the name of Wodens borough, the street of Cold Friday, mentioned before, is certainly derived from the Saxon words, Cola, and Friga, which latter was the name of a goddess, worshipped by the Saxons, and her day Frige-deag, from whence our day of Friday is derived; other places in this parish, mentioned before likewise, claim, surely, their original from the same language.
This parish contains about 3000 acres, the whole rents of it being about 3373l. yearly value. It is very bare of coppice wood; the Old Wood, so called, in Ringleton, being the only one in it. The soil of this parish is very rich and fertile, equal to those the most so in this neighbourhood, particularly as to the plantations of hops, which have much increased within these few years past. The middle of the parish is high ground, and is in general a flat open country of arable common fields. West and south-westward the lands are more inclosed with hedges. North and north-westward of the parsonage, towards Sandwich, they are low and wet, consisting of a large level of marsh land, the nearness of which makes the other parts of this parish rather unhealthy, which is not otherwise very pleasant in any part of it. There was a fair held here yearly, on Holy Thursday, but it has been for some time disused.
In Ringleton field, in this parish, there was found about the year 1514, a fine gold coin, weighing about twelve shillings, with a loop of the same metal to hang it by; on one side was the figure of a young man in armour, a helmet on his head, and a spear over his right shoulder; on the reverse, the figure of Victory, with a sword in her hand, the point downwards.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary, consists of a nave, and two isles, having a square tower steeple at the west end, with a modern wooden turret and vane at the top of it, in which are five bells, made in 1676. It had a high spire on the tower, which was taken down some years ago. At the east end of the chancel is a marble tablet for John Cason, esq. of this place, justice of the peace, obt. 1718; John Cason, esq. his son, obt. 1755; arms,Argent, a chevron, sable, between three wolves heads, erased, gules, on an escutcheon of pretence, sable, a chevron, between three fleurs de lis, of the field; another for Thomas Blechenden, of the antient family of that name, of Aldington, in Kent, obt. 1661; arms, Azure, a fess nebulee, argent, between three lions heads erased, or, attired, gules, impalingBoys. On the south side, an antient altar monument with gothic pillars and arches, having had shields and arms, now obliterated. Against the wall, under the canopy, two brass plates, which have been removed to this place, from two grave-stones in the chancel; the first for Sir John Parcar, late vicar of this church, who died the v.day of May, a°o dni m° v° xiij° on the second are Latin verses to the memory of Nichs Spencer, esq. obt. 1593. In the middle of the chancel, a gravestone for William Docksey, esq. of Snellston, in Derbyshire, a justice of the peace, obt. 1760; Sarah his wife, youngest daughter of John Cason, esq. obt. 1774; arms,Or, a lion rampant, azure, surmounted of a bend, argent.

The church of Woodnesborough was given, in the reign of king Henry I. by a religious woman, one Ascelina de Wodensberg, to the priory of Ledes, soon after the foundation of it; to which deed was witness Robert de Crevequer, founder of the priory, Elias his son, and others; which gift was confirmed by the said Robert, who by his charter, released to the priory all his right and title to it. It was likewise confirmed by archbishop Theobald, and several of his successors, and by king Henry III. by his charter of inspeximus in his 41st year.
Archbishop William Corboil, who came to the see of Canterbury, three years after the foundation of Ledes priory, at the instance and petition of Ascelina above mentioned, who resigned this church into his hands for this purpose, appropriated it to the prior and convent, for the finding of necessary cloaths, for the canons there; and a vicarage was accordingly endowed in it.
There was a controversy between the prior and convent, and Adam, vicar of this church, in 1627, anno 14 Henry II. concerning the great tithes arising from the crofts and curtilages within this parish, which was referred to the prior of Rochester, who was the pope's delegate for this purpose, who determined that the prior and convent of Ledes, as rectors of this church, should receive, without any exception, all the great tithes of wheat, barley, oats, beans, peas, and of every fort of corn arising, or to arise from all lands, crofts, curtilages, or other places whatever, situated within the bounds, of this parish; and that the prior and convent should yearly pay to the said vicar, and his successors, half a seam of barley, and half a seam of beans, at the nativity of our Lord. (fn. 10)
¶After which, this parsonage appropriate,(which appears to have been esteemed as a manor) together with the advowson of the vicarage, remained with the prior and convent of Ledes, till its dissolution in the 31st year of king Henry VIII. when it was, with all its lands and possessions, surrendered into the king's hands, who by his dotation charter, in his 33d year, settled both parsonage and advowson on his new-founded dean and chapter of Rochester, with whom they remain at this time. On the dissolution of deans and chapters, after the death of king Charles I. this parsonage was surveyed in 1649, when is appeared that the manor or parsonage of Woodnesborough, with the scite thereof, and all manner of tithes belonging to it, with a garden and orchard of one acre, was valued all together at 300l. that the lessee was to repair the premises, and the chancel of the church; that the vicarage was worth fifty pounds per annum. The then incumbent was under sequestration, and there was none to serve the cure; and that the church was then quite ruinated, and in great decay. (fn. 11)

We are replacing the door and window on the left with three lovely new windows that will let a ton of light into our kitchen and be high enough that I can put in bottom cabinets and a counter on that side. The railing, light post, and stone stairs will be removed and we will use the stone for stairs on the other side of the house.
Nothing scary or unexpected on this side of the house. Foundation looks good.

'Old' Condor livery with Thomas Cook tail logo.
First flown with the Boeing test registration N1786B, this aircraft was delivered to Condor Flugdienst as D-ABOJ in Mar-00. From early 2000 the UK's Thomas Cook Group gradually bought up Lufthansa's shares in Condor and in Mar-03 it became Thomas Cook Airlines Germany (powered by Condor). The Thomas Cook name didn't work well in Germany and the name was changed back to Condor Flugdienst in Jun-04. The aircraft was wet-leased to Ryan International Airlines (USA) between Dec-04/Jun-05, Operating for Apple Vacations. It was fitted with blended winglets at Helsinki, Finland in Dec-09. The Thomas Cook Group (UK) ceased operations in Sep-19 and Condor was granted a loan by the German Government to keep operating. The aircraft was stored at Frankfurt in Mar-20 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It returned to service in early Jul-20. Current, updated (Sep-20).
The F-101 Voodoo began its turbulent development as a jet escort fighter designed to replace the P-51 Mustang, designated the XF-88 Voodoo. McDonnell had won the competition in 1947, but when the first XF-88 flew in October 1948, top speed was disappointing, though the range was adequate to escort B-29 Superfortresses into the Soviet Union. Attempts to increase the top speed by installing afterburners shortened the range significantly; faced with this paradox, the USAF cancelled the XF-88 in 1950.
The service rapidly changed its mind during the Korean War, when MiG-15 intercepts of B-29s revealed the need for dedicated long-range escorts, and McDonnell was hurriedly ordered to resume work on an advanced version of the XF-88, called the F-109. Since this designation was out of sequence, it was changed to F-101, making the Voodoo the second of the Century Series.
Though the F-101 shared the same general planform as the XF-88, it was radically different. It was larger, with more powerful engines, allowing it to have both supersonic performance and the range required for the escort mission. It was found that a T-tail was more aerodynamic than the conventional tail of the XF-88, giving the Voodoo a unique appearance. Since most of the flight testing had already been completed in the XF-88 program, the F-101 went immediately to full production—and much to McDonnell’s chagrin, the first Voodoo had barely rolled off the production line when Strategic Air Command made the decision that its fast B-47 and B-52 bombers did not need escort, and cancelled their F-101As.
If SAC was not interested, however, Tactical Air Command was, seeing in the F-101A a good low-level penetration nuclear bomber. Converting a cannon-armed escort fighter to a nuclear attack aircraft was not as difficult as it was thought: the bomb could be carried on the centerline, while the F-101’s fire control system had already proven as adept at air-to-ground operations as air-to-air. While Voodoo pilots adopted a fatalistic view towards the mission—it was doubtful if the F-101 would survive a low-level nuclear explosion, and if so, probably would not have the fuel to return home—it entered service in 1957. The aircraft was reported as generally trouble-free, except for a tendency to pitch up into an uncontrolled stall in any radical flight maneuver; McDonnell was never able to completely cure this problem throughout the Voodoo’s entire career.
With the delays in the F-102/F-106 “Ultimate Interceptor” program, the USAF needed an interim aircraft to supplement the troubled Convair deltas. With the F-101 already in service, McDonnell proposed an interceptor that could enter production quickly and easily. The F-101B replaced the forward fuselage of the F-101A with a larger and more rounded version, containing a two-seat cockpit, the MG-13 fire control system of the F-102, and its weaponry: the four 20mm cannon of the F-101A were deleted in favor of a rotary weapons bay that could carry either four AIM-4 Falcons or two AIR-2 Genie nuclear-tipped rockets. The engines were upgraded, but were longer than those carried by other Voodoo variants; to avoid having to rebuild the rear fuselage as well, the engine casing and afterburners simply were allowed to stick eight feet out of the aircraft. The inflight refueling probe was removed in favor of an infrared sight. The F-101B was superior to any interceptor then in USAF service, including the F-102 it was supposed to only supplement, and quickly replaced earlier interceptors such as the F-89 Scorpion and F-94 Starfire.
As the 1980s approached, the Voodoo was clearly showing its age. Active duty units had retired their F-101Bs by 1972, but the type would continue with the Air National Guard until 1982, when it was finally withdrawn. Of 807 F-101s built, about 44 survive today in museums and as gate guards, not counting an extensive number of CF-101s preserved in Canada.
F-101B 58-0271 joined the USAF's 75th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron at Dow AFB, Maine in 1959, and would remain with the squadron until 1969, by which time the squadron had transferred to Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan. After the 75th deactivated, 58-0271 briefly flew with the 4756th Air Defense Wing at Tyndall AFB, Florida, where it performed mainly in test duties. It was transferred to the 119th FIG (North Dakota ANG, the famous "Happy Hooligans") at Fargo, and finished out its career there. It was then sent to Lowry AFB, Colorado, where it was used as a battle damage repair aircraft; when Lowry closed, it became part of the Wings Over the Rockies museum collection.
58-0271 was restored in the colors of the 4756th ADW (though I would've gone with the Happy Hooligans of the 119th--personal bias). This picture doesn't do the aircraft justice. Due to coronavirus and the need to restrict the movement of museum patrons, the Wings collection has been crammed together. This made a picture of the entire aircraft impossible--and I tried from every angle possible, including lying on the floor! The weapons bay is displayed open, with two AIM-4 Falcon IR missiles; the cart beneath the right wing is loaded with two AIR-2A Genie nuclear-tipped rockets.

"The first fountain next to the arch was completed in 1852 and replaced in 1872. In 1851, it was described as having "a very large circular basin, with a central jet and several side jets." A story on the completion of the fountain appeared in the first edition of the New-York Daily Times, which would eventually become the New York Times. The statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi was unveiled in 1888. In 1918, two statues of George Washington were added to the north side.
Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre (39,500 m2) public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. One of the best known of New York City's public parks, it is an icon as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks).
The park is an open space, dominated by the Washington Square Arch at the northern gateway to the park, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity. The park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots, and many of the local buildings have at one time served as homes and studios for artists. Many buildings have been built by New York University, while others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings.
Greenwich Village (/ˈɡrɛnɪtʃ/ GREN-itch, /ˈɡrɪn-/ GRIN-, /-ɪdʒ/ -ij) is a neighborhood on the west side of Lower Manhattan in New York City, bounded by 14th Street to the north, Broadway to the east, Houston Street to the south, and the Hudson River to the west. Greenwich Village also contains several subsections, including the West Village west of Seventh Avenue and the Meatpacking District in the northwest corner of Greenwich Village.
Its name comes from Groenwijck, Dutch for "Green District". In the 20th century, Greenwich Village was known as an artists' haven, the bohemian capital, the cradle of the modern LGBT movement, and the East Coast birthplace of both the Beat and '60s counterculture movements. Greenwich Village contains Washington Square Park, as well as two of New York City's private colleges, New York University (NYU) and The New School.
Greenwich Village is part of Manhattan Community District 2, and is patrolled by the 6th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. Greenwich Village has undergone extensive gentrification and commercialization; the four ZIP Codes that constitute the Village – 10011, 10012, 10003, and 10014 – were all ranked among the ten most expensive in the United States by median housing price in 2014, according to Forbes, with residential property sale prices in the West Village neighborhood typically exceeding US$2,100/sq ft ($23,000/m2) in 2017.
New York, often called New York City or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States. With a 2020 population of 8,804,190 distributed over 300.46 square miles (778.2 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The city is within the southern tip of New York State, and constitutes the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area – the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With over 20.1 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and 23.5 million in its combined statistical area as of 2020, New York is one of the world's most populous megacities, and over 58 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of the city. New York City is a global cultural, financial, and media center with a significant influence on commerce, health care and life sciences, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports. New York is the most photographed city in the world. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy, an established safe haven for global investors, and is sometimes described as the capital of the world." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Unchou Kanu is one of the lead characters from the series Ikkitousen, aka Battle Vixens in North America (you know it's old when they still tried to give series a North American name).. The premise is that the world is kind of based on the Chinese novel series The Three Kingdoms, which is the tale of various characters beating the crap out of each other on behalf of their nations. In Ikkitousen, replace the nations with various high school.
The characters we meet possess gems that contain the spirits of their Three Kingdoms namesakes, and compels the bearers to constantly challenge other gem bearers, resulting in hijinxs and significant fan service. I think the gems bestowed fighting abilities or enhancements, but truth be told I've never read a single piece of the source material.
I know the story of Senran Kagura better than I do Ikkitousen.
I'm pretty sure that anime adaptation made it through at least one season, as this Figma was released under the Great Guardians moniker for the second season.
Being one of the earliest Figma I ever purchased, it holds a special place in my heart.. the part that thanks the heavens for e-commerce evolution because asking my mother to pick me up stuff in Hong Kong was quite a painful exercise.
In case it wasn't obvious, I didn't get a knack for Kanu here because of the riveting narrative in the Ikkitousen books - it was because of her design. Kanu is wearing what would be your traditional Japanese High School Girl outfit, complete with little neck scarf and thigh high loose socks, though clearly her shirt is a bit on the short side, exposing her mid-drift. Basically, she's what Sailor Jupiter would look like if she decided to put on the same clothes that fit Sailor Moon.
Similar to Sailor Jupiter, Kanu is one of the physically taller and stronger characters in the series. Kanu also has what is her trademark hairstyle, consisting of long ponytail complete with twin tail ends at the back, and a rong where one eye is constantly covered and that one piece of hair that extends over her face. Weapon wise, she is armed with the same weapon as her namesake, a Naginata, which is a pole arm with long blade on the end.
Even back in the day, the contents of a standard Figma release was, well, standard. Kanu came with the figure, two additional face plates (overall three expressions - neutral, blushing, angry.. and she's usually angry), her Naginata, battle damaged chest and skirt, a variety of hands, and the traditional Figma stand.
Paint and decal work is solid, though admittedly it's a much simpler figure compared to some of the other Figma I own. There is some nice detailing work on the blade of her Naginata that is worth noting.
Being an early Figma, Kanu of course is missing some of the more standard features of modern day figures. One example of this would be lack of chest collapse, but hey at least she has a functional waist. Kneeling is somewhat functional. There is also some articulation in the ponytail which helps with display options and also to use the hair to prop up your figure, should you choose to do so. She also appears to be a bit more lanky with slender proportions compared to modern figures, which was a big part of the 2.0 upgrade.
Overall, the set allows for some decent action and static poses, though the shoulders really could have used that chest compress and additional shoulder movement to better position the weapon in her hand. Also, a bit more freedom in the hip/waist area would have allowed for more subtle movements of those areas, aiding in dynamic posing, as well as some more subtle, elegant posing. Having said that, I understand this is from back in to day, and standards were different.
So that was Unchou Kanu. Unless I'm mistaken, this is one of those series that had it's moment in the sun, and retired into the sunset, so I'm guessing pricing on this piece is probably quite reasonable. It's got top of the line display options for 2008, which aren't terrible by modern standards so much as feeling limited. If one were to hunt this figure down these days, it's probably because you want a fan servicey high school girl in your collection. Still, for me the overall design of Kanu is quite memorable, and fan servicey high school girls is your thing, then this Figma isn't a bad piece to have.

The Galveston Orphanage built in 1902 to replace the building lost in the Great Storm 1900 at 1315 21st. St., Galveston, Texas. Oct. 2010.
While I was photographing this building I spoke to a woman walking past. She said, "My husband was in there. He said it was horrible. He jumped the fence when he was 7 and got away." I did some internet research but found no mention of a scandal or investigation associated with the orphanage. But what would make a 7 year old jump the fence into the unknown? Does anyone know anything related to her story?

In July 1981 the L&N replaced the old bridge over the Clinch River at Elza, TN (near Oak Ridge). Dad's bridge gang was part of the crew that worked on this major project. The new bridge was taken down from an abandoned L&N line and floated up the Tennessee River from West Tennessee.
Students, families, teachers and staff will soon benefit from a new Lord Nelson Elementary with construction now underway to seismically replace the school thanks to $18.4 million from the Province.
Education Minister Mike Bernier joined Vancouver School Board official trustee Dianne Turner and the Lord Nelson community today to mark the beginning of construction for the replacement school with a formal groundbreaking ceremony.
The project includes replacing the existing Lord Nelson Elementary school with a state-of-the-art building on the same site. The new school will be built to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standard and will support B.C.’s new curriculum with modern and open learning spaces. The new three-storey school will have a Neighbourhood Learning Centre and a StrongStart program.

Dogwoods are not the only ornament blossoming in Georgia's Sixth Congressional District. Campaign signs are springing up for a special election to replace Rep. Tom Price, who left his seat to become Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services.
It's an interesting election because 11 Republicans, 5 Democrats, and 2 independents have qualified. Under Georgia law, if no candidate receives a majority of the vote on April 16, the top two will face each other in a runoff election in June.
Price won 62% to 38% last November against whatever Democrat was rash enough to challenge him in his safely drawn district. But Trump won the district by only 1.5 percentage points against Clinton. So the race could be more even than it appears.
If the Republican voters in their district split their votes equally among their 11 candidates, and the Democrats do likewise, then two Democrats would make it to the runoff and the next congressperson would be a Democrat. But of course the candidates don't have equal support.
The local Republicans are limiting their candidate forums to the top 5 or 6 candidates in the polls. This is much to the dismay of candidates such as Republican Dr. Mohammed Ali Bhuiyan, who paid his $5,220 filing fee like the others and is doing his best to put out yard signs and make phone calls.
On the other side, national Democratic organizations seem to be putting their resources behind a single candidate. Time will tell whether they chose wisely.
My sketch shows the two front runners. On the right, Karen Handel, who has a lot of name recognition in the district because she was elected Georgia's Secretary of State and also worked for the Susan G. Komen breast cancer foundation. It's clear where she stands on requiring photo IDs for voting (for) and on Planned Parenthood (against). On the left, Jon Ossoff, who had no name recognition until an attack ad showed him as Han Solo.

A somewhat confusing history... Delivered new to Overseas National Airways in May-69 as N864F, it was briefly leased to Air Afrique in Oct/Nov-77. It was sold to Seaboard World Airlines in Dec-77 and leased to Capitol International Airways in May-79, returning to Seaboard World in Nov-79.
It was then immediately leased to Saudi Arabian Airlines Cargo. In the meantime Seaboard World was merged into Flying Tiger Line in Oct-80 and Saudi Arabian returned the aircraft to them in Mar-81 when it was re-registered N774FT.
It was sold to the 'new' Overseas National Airways in Apr-81 (the 'old' ONA ceased trading in 1978 and a new company took over the name) and leased to Wein Air Alaska the following month. It was re-registered N906R with Wein Air Alaska in May-81.
The aircraft was returned to ONA in Jul-82. Over the next two years it was leased to several airlines, Airlift International (Nov-82/Jul-83), Air India (Jul/Oct-83 and Nov-83). In the meantime ONA had been renamed National Airlines and Air India returned it to them in Dec-84.
In Jan-85 it was sold to ATASCO Leasing and leased back to National Airlines. It was again leased to Air India (Feb/Jul-85). National Airlines ceased trading in Feb-86 and the aircraft was sold to Emery Worldwide in Mar-86.
They sold it to Aerolease Financial Group in Jun-88 and leased it back. It was returned to Aerolease in Jun-95. ATI Air Transport International leased it in Jul-95. It was sold to Aerofreighter LLC in Dec-99 while the lease to ATI continued.
It was returned to Aerofreighter LLC in Jan-02 and was stored at Marana, AZ, USA, where it was eventually broken up.
With time, the early versions of all the missiles were replaced by more advanced versions, especially with the move to full solid-state electronics that allowed better reliability, better ECCM and more space for the rocket engine. So the early arrangement of the AIM-54A Phoenix active-radar air-to-air missile, the AIM-7E-2 Sparrow Semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile, and the AIM-9J Sidewinder heat-seeking air-to-air missile was replaced in the 1980s with the B (1983) and C (1986) version of the Phoenix, the F (1977), M (1982), P (1987 or later) for Sparrows, and with the Sidewinder, L (1979) and M (1982). Within these versions there are several improved batches (for example, Phoenix AIM-54C++).
The Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System (TARPS) was developed in the late 1970s for the Tomcat. The TARPS reconnaissance pod was carried on the right rear fuselage tunnel station and required additional connections. Approximately 65 F-14As and all F-14Ds were modified to carry the pod. The system was primarily controlled by the RIO in the back seat who had a specialized TARPS display to observe reconnaissance data. TARPS system was introduced in 1980. The TARPS was upgraded with digital camera in 1996 with the "TARPS Digital (TARPS-DI)". The digital camera was further updated beginning in 1998 with the "TARPS-CD" configuration.
Some of the F-14A aircraft underwent engine upgrades to the GE F110-400 in 1987. These upgraded Tomcats were redesignated F-14A+, which was later changed to F-14B in 1991. The F-14D variant was developed during this time. It included the GE F110-400 engines with newer digital avionics systems including a glass cockpit. The F-14D also received systems for Link 16 datalink for secure exchange of data. Tomcats also benefited from the Digital Flight Control System (DFCS). The DFCS improved handling qualities behind the aircraft carrier, at high angle of attack, and in air combat maneuvering situations.

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.
Newport cemetery in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A cemetery on the east side of Newport. It replaced St Nicholas Church Cemetery on the corner of Newport and Church Lane and a small plot behind the church of St Nicholas and St John. Consecration took place in 1855.
Initially one acre immediately to the east of the church, it expanded into the large plot to the east as far east as Bruce Road in around 1900. One such addition was consecrated in December 1869. An entrance road to the cemetery was made in 1857 on the south side of the church. The path from Newport south of Willsons Cottages was opened up in 1950. Contains WW1 and WW2 war graves and a memorial cross.

'Gilgit - The Silk Route' tail livery.
This aircraft was delivered to PIA Pakistan International Airlines as AP-BID in Mar-08. It was repainted into standard livery Apr-10.
It was withdrawn from service in Feb-20 and stored at Karachi, Pakistan, presumably due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, it hasn't returned to service. Stored, updated 28-Dec-24.
hanks to Cardinal Cisneros, this capitulary room was created with two chambers: the capitulary room itself and an anteroom. This replaced the old one situated in the Mozarabic Chapel.
The capitulary anteroom was built by Enrique Egas and Pedro Gumiel between 1504 and 1512, with a façade carved by Copin of Holland, with a Cisneros style, a combination of “Flamígero” Gothic and Mudéjar. It is rectangular in shape and the sides are covered with cabinets to file the capitulary documents. The ones on the left wall were carved between 1549 and 1551 by Gregorio Pardo at the orders of the Cardinal Silíceo. The cabinets in front are a copy from 1780 made by Gregorio López.
The mural paintings in the frieze with vegetable themed decoration, were made by Luis Medina, Diego López and Alonso Sánchez according to Juan de Borgoña´s design in 1511. The façade in the capitulary room entrance was made with Moorish or Mudéjar planter mouldings.
Once inside the Capitulary Room there is a prominent golden and polychrome coffered ceiling. The upper part of the walls are decorated with oil paintings over the plaster wall, that show scenes of the Virgin and the Passion of Christ painted by Juan de Borgoña, divided by fake pillars. Underneath them lie several portraits of the different Toledan Archbishops. The higher line, until Cisneros, was painted by Juan de Borgoña´s and the lower line was created by other distinguished painters. The archiepiscopal chair is a work of art created by Copin of Holland and was made in 1509.

Taken from YVR South Terminal.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJZ, this aircraft was delivered to Singapore Airlines as 9V-SJC in Jun-96. Singapore Airlines A340-300 fleet was traded in to Boeing between 2001/2003 in part-exchange for new Boeing 777-300ER's.
This one was registered to the Boeing Aircraft Holding Company in Dec-01 and immediately leased to Cathay Pacific Airways as B-HXO. It was sold to a lessor in Mar-02 while the lease to Cathay Pacific continued.
The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Victorville, CA, USA in Sep-09. It was returned to the lessor in Feb-12 and leased to Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-CSF later the same month. It was returned to the lessor and permanently retired at San Bernadino, CA, USA in Mar-18. It was sold to Unical Aviation as N128XX in May-18 for parting out.
Replaced the power steering return hose today. The old one shows some age.
The new oil pressure sending unit is also new and will be replacing the old one that seems to be stuck.

FINAL MASS TOOK PLACE IN THIS CHURCH ON SUNDAY 7th OCTOBER 2018 AT 11am. THE PIPE ORGAN WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO CAVAN CATHEDRAL.
The Church of the Annunciation in Finglas West is one of Ireland’s largest suburban churches, with the building itself covering approximately one acre. The turning of the first sod to build this church took place in July 1964 and was finally opened on the 8th October 1967 with the blessing of the Archbishop of Dublin, Charles McQuaid. The Parish of Finglas West was formally established in 1962 and the new building replaced an older tin-roofed church (Church of the Incarnation) that was located just in front of the main entrance.
The church is dedicated to the Annunciation of Our Lady which marks the occasion when the Archangel Gabriel informed the Blessed Virgin Mary that she will conceive a child through the Holy Spirit and that his name shall be Jesus. The Feast Day of the Annunciation is held on March 25th.
Additional information about the Church of the Annunciation:
• David Keane & Partners of Dublin were the architects who designed the new church. David Keane 22/9/1929 – 28/9/2007. The firm is still trading as KMD Architecture (Keane, Murphy & Duff partners). David Deane retired from KMD in 1987 but remained on as a consultant to the firm.
• Stephen Walsh designed and completed the stained glass windows, including the massive Annunciation window above the main entrance. He also created the mosaic Stations of the Cross and the large image of Christ Ascending into Heaven seen behind the alter.
• Richard Joseph King (1907-1974) designed the bronze and enamelled tabernacle. Richard is more famously known as a stained glass artist who worked with Harry Clark and went on to become director of the Harry Clarke Studios after Harry’s death in 1931. He was also well-known as an ecclesiastical painter with his own particular style, of which many of these have been illustrated in the Capuchin Annual from 1940 through to its final issue in 1977. Stephen also designed and executed the Connemara marble plaque behind the baptismal font.
.
I was anxious to get some photos of the Church of the Annunciation since it’s been confirmed the church will be demolished and replaced. The reasons given have been structural problems, increasing costs of maintenance and heating, as well as falling congregation numbers. The current church can hold up to 3,500 mass-goers, while its replacement will hold up to around 350. The proposed new church has been designed by Coda Architects of Dublin. Some of the land the church is on will be used to build social housing.
At this stage, it is not clear when the church will be demolished and that could be up to two years away. The structural problems are considered too expensive to fix and relate mainly to the roof, which also leaks in places. The roof is partially constructed of cast concrete with reinforcing steel bar and it seems that the thickness of concrete used was insufficient, so rain water ingresses into it and has been corroding away the reinforcing steel bar. It is also unclear what will happen to the stained glass and other fittings that adorns the building, especially the huge and impressive window above the main entrance. There is also a fine large organ whose fate is as yet, undecided. The church is also adorned inside with many statues and the bronze and enamelled tabernacle designed by artist Richard Joseph King.
But one thing is for sure, the Finglas skyline will never be the same without The Church of the Annunciation and its distinctive high spire.

The QFES is the result of 150 years of evolution in Queensland's firefighting services; in fact the QFS was born in 1860 after a fire destroyed a Brisbane cabinet making workshop. The early years were tough for the Brisbane Fire Brigade and it was not until 1889 that the first firemen was employed.
The first legislation for rural fire management was the Act to Prevent the Careless Use of Fire 1865, and for state fire management, the Fire Brigades Act 1876. In 1990, the Queensland Fire Service and the Rural Fires Council were formed replacing the 81 Fire Boards in local government areas and the Rural Fires Board; this was the first step in creating a single fire service for Queensland.
In 1997, it became the Queensland Fire and Rescue Authority and 2001 saw another name change to the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.
In 2013, QFRS merged with EMQ and the Corporate Services Division of the Department of Community Safety to become the current Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, encompassing Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, parts of the State Emergency Service, Emergency Management and the Rural Fire Service.
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service professional Firefighters ensure a balance between the reduction of risk and enhancement of community resilience, whilst providing effective response and recovery capabilities in the primary hazard response areas of: fire and explosion; accident; rescue; environmental and imminent or declared disaster.
The Queensland Fire and Emergency Services provides specialist personnel with the skills and ability to provide combat support services for: land, marine, air and urban search and rescue; crime scene and forensic searches; missing person searches; animal disease outbreaks and communications.
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service is made up of approximately 2200 professional and 2000 Auxiliary (part-time) firefighters that are responsible for responding to almost every emergency. They are highly trained and work in a command structure with high standards to ensure safety. They have a proud history of protecting all Queenslanders and are highly valued by the community. They look after Queensland's Assets and population. To become a professional Firefighter involves a rigorous selection process, after which successful candidates undertake a four-month recruitment course. They then go on to partake in many years of intense study and training in all disciplines of rescue, wildfires, structural fires and major emergencies.
The Rural Fire Service (RFS), made up of approximately 9 000 volunteers (5000 active), approximately 1400 rural fire brigades. They are mainly responsible for responding to bushfires and have some land management capability. The current QFES model means that volunteers will support the Fire & Rescue Service in any emergency as required.
Queensland's professional Firefighters undertake a range of planning and preparation activities throughout the year. They are trained in Structural Firefighting, Wildland (forest and grassland) fires, vertical rescue, swift water rescue, road crash rescue, confined space rescue, trench rescue and urban search and rescue (USAR) and Hazardous material mitigation. Fire hazard (vegetation fires) mitigation and response is the primary role of Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service in the outer areas. Rural Fire Brigades, in conjunction with Rural Fire Service permanent staff, Fire & rescue Service, local councils, national parks rangers, and local landholders, undertake a range of planning and preparation activities throughout the year to ensure communities are well prepared for the fire season.
One of these activities is hazard reduction burns. Hazard reduction burns use fire under controlled circumstances to reduce excess vegetation and minimise the potential for bushfires to get out of control.
The Queensland State Emergency Service (SES) is a statewide organisation of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds who respond to emergencies and disasters across the State as needed. They are trained and equipped by local councils and QFES, to help their communities across a range of functions, and their primary purpose is to assist the community. The SES is designed to empower people to help themselves and others in their community in times of emergency and disaster. The basic concept is one of self-help and mutual assistance within each community.
SES members also assist other emergency services with provision of: emergency lighting; emergency welfare services; management of traffic at emergency scenes and emergency communications.

Advie War Memorial
The memorial was damaged beyond repair in 2006 and replaced in 2008.
The memorial has been moved to NJ 12506 34385, the position shown above is right on the main road so perhaps it was hit by a vehicle that would fit with the damage on the original which is in the cemetery (NJ 1418 3528).
There appears to be a church hall across the road from memorial.
LET US GIVE
OUR MOST HUMBLE
AND HEARTY THANKS
TO ALMIGHTY GOD
FOR HAVING GIVEN
US AND OUR ALLIES
THE VICTORY OVER
OUR ENEMIES
MAY WE REMEMBER
THAT THE SAFETY
OF OUR EMPIRE
IS NOT OWING TO
THE STRENGTH OF MAN
BUT TO THE POWER
OF GOD
GOD SAVE THE KING

BE SAID
THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE
