Oñate gained a reputation as a stern ruler of both the Spanish colonists and the indigenous people. In October of 1598, a skirmish erupted when Oñate's occupying Spanish military demanded supplies from the Acoma tribe - demanding things essential to the Acoma surviving the Winter. The Acoma resisted and thirteen Spaniards were killed, amongst them Don Juan Oñate’s nephew.
In 1599, Oñate retaliated; his soldiers killed 800 villagers. They enslaved the remaining 500 women and children, and by Don Juan’s decree, the left foot of every Acoma man over the age of twenty-five was amputated. Eighty men had their left foot amputated.
In 1606, Oñate was recalled to Mexico City for a hearing into his conduct. After finishing plans for the founding of the town of Santa Fé, he resigned his post and was tried and convicted of cruelty to both Indians and colonists. He was banished from the "kingdom" of New Mexico but on appeal was cleared of all charges. Eventually Oñate went to Spain, where the king appointed him head of mining inspectors for all of Spain. He died in Spain in 1626. He is sometimes referred to as "the Last Conquistador."
Oñate is honored by some Anglo-Americans, Spanish Americans and Mexican Americans for his exploratory ventures, but is vilified by others for his cruelty to the Indians of Acoma Pueblo.
At the Oñate Monument Visitors Center northeast of Española on New Mexico highway 68 is the 1991 bronze statute dedicated to the man. In 1998 New Mexico celebrated the four hundredth anniversary of his arrival, but that same year individuals opposed to the statue cut off the statue's right foot and left a note saying, "Fair is fair." The sculptor, Reynaldo Rivera, recast the foot but the seam is still visible. Some commentators suggested leaving the statue maimed as a symbolic reminder of the foot-mutilating incident. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_O%c3%b1ate
Acoma Pueblo was nearly destroyed when Oñate and 70 of his men retaliated for the killing of 13 Spanish soldiers who were hurled off the side of the cliff by warriors when they tried to take grain from the pueblo storehouses in 1598, according the New Mexico Department of Tourism’s Web site. www.nmtourism.org/place/loc/travel/page/DB-place/category...

British Army barracks, built in the 1960s, replacing some 1940s structures [ whole area was a maze of British army barracks, forts, batteries & PoW camps built between 1875 – 1899 ]. Dedicated to officers with families. British Army left in 1979 and site was handed over to the Maltese government.
The place is now falling apart, and used for motorcross, paintballing, laser tag, picnicking, graffiti and possibly home to some homeless people. Some quotes I've found online . . . .
“The accommodation was of high quality in a mix of 4 bedroom houses and 3 bedroom flats. All of them were provided with central heating, telephone and garage.“
“From 1973 to 1975 I lived in one of the 4 bedroom bungalows. They were very spacious and comfortable with fantastic views. Not a bad place to spend a couple of years, school in the mornings and then swimming in the afternoons. It’s a shame to see the state they’re in now.”
“In October/November 1978 I was one of the last UK MoD residents at St Patrick’s. The whole married quarter’s complex was handed over to the Malta Government, complete and in excellent working order. The houses and flats still had their furniture and fittings and could have been occupied immediately by Maltese families as either social (Government) housing or sold to private and individual owners.
In 1984 the whole complex was being marketed as a holiday resort – “The White Rocks Resort”. . . . . . . . By 1992 the resort was no more and the former housing was turning into an unauthorised tip, the houses stripped of fixtures and fittings.”
“I spent several excellent holidays at White Rocks and I am very sorry to see the state it is in. We stayed in a spacious two bedroom ”bungalow” with sitting room and kitchen plus a shared patio area and we just loved the place. The bulk of guests at the times we stayed there were kids from Europe sent to improve their English. They were off the premesis in class by 9 o’clock and we had the pool to ourselves until they returned at 1 o’clock; by which time we were nicely toasted and ready to go out exploring . . . . “
“I spent two summers at the White Rocks with friends from Rome and Sicily in -best guess- 1985 and 1987 or 1988. It was cheap enough for us college students back then. So many memories. . . . “
This weekend, we replaced segments of track at 52 St on the 7 line.

Built in 1906-1917, this Beaux Arts-style Capitol Building was designed by George B. Post to house the state house of representatives, state senate, and offices for the Wisconsin State Government. The fourth state capitol to house the state government since the state’s establishment in 1848, the building is the third building to sit on the present site, and replaced the previous state capitol, built in 1857-1869 and expanded in 1882, which burned down in February of 1904. The capitol houses both the Wisconsin State Assembly and the Wisconsin State Senate, as well as the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Wisconsin. The first capitol of Wisconsin upon the formation of Wisconsin Territory in 1836 was in the village of Belmont, Wisconsin, with the legislature meeting in a hastily constructed wood-frame building, before deciding to designate the future site of Madison as the state capitol, and holding further sessions of the legislature in the much better-developed Mississippi River port town of Burlington (now in Iowa) until a capitol building could be completed in Madison. Upon Burlington becoming part of the new Iowa Territory, the state legislature moved to a log and stone building on the present site of the state capitol, a relatively humble Greek Revival-style building constructed in 1837, which looked much like older capitol buildings in the eastern United States, with doric columns and a rusticated fieldstone exterior. It was most similar to the Old State House in North Carolina, built only four years prior, and the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois, built in the same year, though these two similar buildings were built almost entirely of stone blocks rather than fieldstone. The small second capitol building was the first state capitol of Wisconsin upon its ascension to statehood in 1848, but had become inadequate for the growing population and government by the 1850s. The original building was demolished and replaced with a larger, Classical Revival-style structure with Romanesque Revival elements constructed in stages between 1857 and 1869, which featured a dome inspired by the United Capitol Building, semi-circular porticoes with corinthian columns, and two short side wings with octagonal towers at the corners, which were modified and extended in 1882 with new wings that increased the Classical Revival aspects of the building and helped to downplay the Romanesque Revival elements that originally were very prominent on the structure. This building was oriented with the semi-circular original porticoes aligned with State Street and King Street, with the wings being oriented towards both sections of Hamilton Street, though the building appeared rather small within the large parklike expanse of Capitol Square. By the turn of the 20th Century, the old Capitol had become inadequate for the growing needs of Wisconsin, which had become wealthy, industrialized, and heavily populated by that point, so study of a replacement capitol building began in 1903. In February 1904, the old State Capitol burned to the ground when a gas jet ignited a newly varnished ceiling inside the building, which spread quickly despite the building featuring a then-advanced sprinkler system, as the reservoir of the nearby University of Wisconsin was empty, which allowed the fire to spread out of control. The north wing of the building, built in 1882, was the only portion that survived, with many relics, records, and important historical items being lost in the fire, though the state law library was saved thanks to efforts by University of Wisconsin students. The fire also happened just after the state legislature had voted to cancel the fire insurance policy on the building, thinking it was a costly and unnecessary folly.
The present building was built on the site of the previous building, with the construction process focusing on completing each wing one at a time to provide space to the state government with as much fiscal efficiency as possible due to financial limitations. Due to this, the north wing was built last to allow the remaining portion of the previous capitol to serve as space for the state government during the construction period, with the central rotunda and dome also being built after the other three wings had been completed, as they serve a more symbolic and less utilitarian purpose than the rest of the building. The building stands 284 feet (86 meters) tall to the top of the statue on the dome, which was sculpted in 1920 by Daniel Chester French, and is a personification of the state of Wisconsin, with the outstretched arm of the statue representing the state motto, “Forward”. The exterior of the building is clad in Bethel white granite, sourced from Vermont, with an additional 42 types of stone from a total of eight states and six countries being utilized on the interior of the building. The dome is the largest in the world to be entirely clad in granite, and is the tallest building in Madison, with a state law passed in 1990 stipulating that any building within a one-mile radius of the capitol is limited in height to the base of the columns of the dome, which stand at 187 feet, which preserves the visibility of the building from the surrounding landscape. The building has a greek cross footprint with four five-story wings that are aligned with the compass directions and radial streets following the compass directions that slice through the surrounding street grid, which is at a 45-degree angle to compass directions, instead roughly paralleling the shorelines of nearby Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, with Downtown Madison sitting on an isthmus between the two lakes. This places the building at a unique 45-degree angle orientation relative to the edges of Capitol Square and most buildings on adjacent streets. The building was one of the last works of the prolific architect George B. Post, whom died before the building was completed. The building underwent a major renovation in the 1970s that added modern features to the interior and covered up many original features, with later projects between 1988 and 2002 restoring the building while updating the building’s systems and functions for the modern needs of the state government.
The exterior of the building’s wings feature porticoes on the ends with corinthian columns, arched windows on the third floor, rusticated bases with entrance doors and decorative keystones, decorative reliefs featuring festoons over the windows on the porticoes, cornices with modillions and dentils, and pediments with sculptural reliefs, which were created by several sculptors, and have different symbolism embodied by their design. On the east wing, which is home to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the sculpture known as Law, created by Karl Bitter, is located on the portico pediment, on the west wing, which houses the chamber of the Wisconsin Assembly, is a sculpture known as Agriculture, also created by Karl Bitter, on the north wing, which is home to a hearing chamber, is the sculpture known as Virtues and Traits of Character, created by Adolph Alexander Weinman, and on the south wing, which houses the chamber of the Wisconsin Senate, is a sculpture known as Wisdom and Learning of the World, created by Attilio Piccirilli. The sides of the wings feature simpler cornices with dentils, pilasters and recessed window openings with arched openings at the ground floor, windows with decorative pedimented headers on the second floor, arched windows on the third floor, two small two-over-two windows on the fourth floor, and a recessed fifth floor features small paired windows, hidden behind a balustrade that runs around the entirety of the building minus the ends of the wings, concealing a low-slope roof at the setbacks on the sides of the wings and above the corner porticoes. The upper roofs of the wings are low-slope with front gabled portions in the middle punctured by skylights, with the roof being almost entirely enclosed by a parapet. At the center of the building in the inside corners of the greek cross are semi-circular portions of the facade with semi-circular two-story ionic porticos with large terraces and grand staircases featuring decorative copper lampposts, decorative stone balustrades, concealed entrances to the ground floor underneath the terraces, and three doorways on the upper level, with drums surrounded by buttresses featuring small windows and domed roofs above the balustrade on the fifth floor. In the center of the building is the rotunda, which is topped with a large dome that rises from a tall base that terminates in a balustrade, with a low-slope roof at the base of the drum of the dome, which features a level with small windows at the base, with projected pavilions at the corners above the semi-circular porticoes below, which were originally to support four smaller domes, but ended up supporting sculptures by Karl Bitter, symbolizing strength, faith, prosperity, and abundance and knowledge. The drum of the dome is surrounded by a corinthian colonnade with corinthian pilasters on the exterior wall of the dome behind the colonnade, arched windows, and recessed decorative panels at the top of the colonnade below the architrave. Above the architrave is a cornice with modillions and dentils, above which is another balustrade, accessed via doors from the interior space above the inner dome of the rotunda, and ringed by six-over-six windows, pilasters, and a cornice with egg and dart motif at the top. Above this last cornice is the dome, which is ribbed, with the ribs terminating in voluted upside down brackets at the base, and clad in granite, terminating at the top at a balustrade around the base of the lantern. The cylindrical landern features corinthian columns, arched windows, festoons, with a concavely sloped roof featuring rubs terminating in volutes, above which is the base of the Wisconsin statue, which is coated in gold leaf.
The interior of the building is richly decorated with Beaux Arts detailing, utilizing plaster, a diverse array of stone and woodwork, engaged columns and pilasters, murals, vaulted ceilings, decorative balustrades, grand staircases, and modern oak furniture. The interior dome features a mural by Edwin Howland Blashfield, known as Resources of Wisconsin, which sits in the middle of the dome’s coffered ceiling, above the upper balcony at the base of the drum. The rotunda features green and white marble corinthian columns with gold leaf on the capitals, vaulted alcoves on the sides with coffered ceilings, a stone floor, and features marble from Tennessee, Missouri, Vermont, Georgia, New York, and Maryland, granite from Wisconsin and Minnesota, limestone from Minnesota and Illinois, marble from France, Italy, Greece, Algeria and Germany, and syenite from Norway. A large circular opening in the floor of the center of the rotunda allows light into the lower level of the building, and is supported by a ring of square columns underneath. The light fixtures in the space are a combination of lampposts and sconces. The pendentives below the drum of the dome in the rotunda are decorated with glass mosaics by artist Kenyon Cox. The interior’s decoration denotes hierarchy of space, with the level of detail varying throughout the building’s interior from simple offices and service areas to the grand public spaces, such as the rotunda and government meeting chambers. The two-story senate chamber is circular with marble cladding, corinthian columns, and pilasters on the walls, a decorative ceiling with a central shallow domed decorative glass skylight, and coffers with rosettes, with murals above the main podium, and balconies inside the alcoves behind the columns for spectators and observers. The two-story assembly chamber features a similar shallow domed decorative glass skylight on the ceiling, but is square in shape with decorative pendentives and arches on the perimeter of the space opening into alcoves with vaulted ceilings, with wood paneling and a large mural behind the main podium, and balconies in the upper level of the alcoves. The supreme court chamber is square with a square decorative glass skylight in the room’s coffered ceiling, white marble pilasters, paneling, and murals on the walls, and arched niches housing candelabra-type lamppost light fixtures. The north wing hearing chamber features a massive cove ceiling with decorative trim and murals, with a large square decorative glass skylight in the middle, and walls lined with ionic pilasters and stone panels. The Governor’s Conference Room, located in the east wing, features a heavily decorated ceiling with multiple coffers housing murals, decorative stained woodwork, a fireplace with a decorative marble surround flanked by two corinthian columns, and gold leaf on some of the trim. The interior of the building is even more richly detailed than the exterior.
The building, which has been fully modernized and restored to some semblance of its original appearance, remains the seat of the government of Wisconsin, presently the 25th largest by land area and 20th largest by population in the United States. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, owing to its historical and architectural significance, and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 2001. The building visually dominates the isthmus that makes up Downtown Madison, and sits in the city’s central square, one of the most visually impressive and stunning sitings of any capitol building in the United States.
the top lever is the old one, been bent a few times too many!! I sprayed the new one with a few coats of Molotow signal black first
Replaced a pole with glass kimbles.. There was a Ton of Xcel and Permier bucket trucks down this road! and Xcel seems to be using these newer kind of polymer suspension insulators, It turns out that the newer version has more skirts than the ones w/ 4 skirts on it also the skirts on the end is much larger than the ones in the middle

R.I.P. BT'S Piper
BT's Piper has heard his Last Post.
The blue and red man who has been blowing his trumpet for more than a decade, summoning people to the sound of the phone ringing, has run out of breath.
Happier times
Although a recognisable symbol, Piper was not taken to people's hearts. He entered the world to much ridicule, both for the expensive nature of his birth (estimated £50m) and for what some saw as pretentiousness. Observers said he looked like he was knocking back a yard of ale. Others poked fun at his clam-like hands.
Perhaps his lack of popularity stemmed from the time in which he was born, an era characterised by widespread cynicism towards rebranding. With his friends - BA's Funky Tailfins and Consignia - his future was perhaps never bright.
Pip will join family members Beattie ("You got an ology?"), Buzby ("Make Someone Happy), and that Bob Hoskins character ("It's good to talk") in the great call centre in the sky.
Tribute was paid by a BT spokesman: "The piper has done an excellent job for the last 12 years." Pip was, however, well paid for that work - he cost his employers just over £4m a year. And his final demise came because he was too much of symbol of what BT didn't want to be.
The shape of things to come
He is succeeded by a strange collection of coloured discs, which is designed to symbolise "the connected world". A spokesman said the new logo "reflects a broader world of communications" and was "in tune with the multi-media age". An age in which people no longer use trumpets to communicate.
No flowers.

St Anne's Roman Catholic church, in the Chapel End / Camp Hill area of Nuneaton, was built in 1999-2000 to replace the original basic dual-purpose church/school built in the 1940s with a limited budget and lifespan. The new church was opened in March 2000, and dedicated later that year by Archbishop Vincent Nicholls.
The church is square in plan with the corners angled (forming an uneven octagon) with the orientation on the diagonal axis facing south east. There is an unfortunate inbalance in the glazing within, which is concentrated on the north and east walls, the remaining walls having the parish rooms attached. The original design included a central lantern over the nave, but this was sadly abandoned during construction owing to rising costs (this would have given the building a more 'church-like' profile outside and greater light within).
Following my work at Sacred Heart, Bilton I was invited to prepare designs for several of the church's windows prior to construction, and thus had the sanctuary oculus with the dove of the Holy Spirit installed for the first mass in the church in March 2000. In the following years the project continued for the adjoining five windows including a central image of the church's patron St Anne with her daughter Mary.
The remaining windows were filled a few years later with a Crucifixion group and a more abstract Sacrament-themed composition (in lighter colours as continuing the rich blue scheme set by the earlier windows would have made the church too dark!), making this my largest ever stained glass project and my only complete scheme of church windows to date.
In July 2012 a final touch was added when I painted the Sanctuary ceiling with a design of Seraphim and stars in blue and gold, a concept under discussion for some time to remedy the lack of structural emphasis on the altar area and create a more fitting focal point to the interior, with the angel's wings suggesting a canopy.

The ballast went out on my aquarium light, so I replaced it with an 20+ year old magnet ballast I had lying around. Quality vintage Lampi ballast.
I replaced my old icon photo that was taken in 2003. This is what I look like when I head out on the trail these days. The thing around my neck is my homemade aspirator (aka "pooter") for sucking bugs into an in-line container. Since I spend so much time down on my knees looking for beetles I consider knee pads essential. Rubber boots are a necessity in the cloud forest. My belt pouch is full of collecting vials, 100% DEET, a white plastic collecting sheet, various small hand tools. The belt also holds water bottle, canister of powerful bear spray, binoculars, flashlight, multitool, and, once I find it in my luggage, a hatchet. Lunch and rain wear is in a separate bag.

Workers align the third rail to make sure it's in just the right spot for where third rail shoes under trains will make contact with it.
On Saturday, workers replaced third rail near Bryn Mawr on the Red Line Saturday to help ensure continued, reliable power delivery to Red Line trains in the area. The "third rail" (also known as "contact rail") is the electrified rail through which power is delivered to our trains.
One segment at a time, workers removed existing sections of rail and replaced it with heavier-gauge sections, which can provide better conductivity. Each section is seated on insulated third rail chairs, bolted together with adjacent sections and smoothed out at joints. Welders also come out and connect the rail to the power system using jumper cables.
The rail that's been removed will be reused for other important power delivery improvements, later—an efficient and sustainable practice we employ to make the most of the materials at our disposal.
The section replaced on Saturday morning and afternoon was on the Howard-bound Red Line track and measures in at about 1900 feet, or about 580 meters, in length. To put the heft of this work into perspective, the base, steel component of third rail that was installed weighs about 85lbs. for every three feet of rail—this doesn't include the weight of aluminum that's affixed to the rail for added electrical conductivity, bolts, insulators and other components that are a part of delivering power to trains. The total weight of the steel part of the rail moved just on Saturday is upwards of 52 tons.

First flown with the Fokker Aircraft test registration PH-EZR, this aircraft was delivered to Sempati Air Transport as PK-JGJ in Mar-95. It was repossessed by Aircraft Financing & Trading as PH-WXG in Nov-97 and stored. The aircraft was leased to Tyrolean Airways in Mar-98 and re-registered OE-LFJ in Jun-98. Tyrolean Airways was renamed Austrian Arrows in Sep-03 . In Jul-12 after a series of strikes, all Austrian Airlines aircraft were transferred to Tyrolean Airways, operating as Austrian Airlines! Tyrolean Airways was merged into Austrian Airlines in Apr-15 (nothing changed except that the words 'Operated by Tyrolean Airways' was removed from the side of all the aircraft!). The aircraft was retired from service in May-17, returned to the lessor and stored. It was sold to Alliance Airlines (Australia) as V.H-.N.U.U. in Jan-19. Current, updated (Nov-19).
Updating the 2010 Langster headset bearings when they wore out on my 2010 Langster. I discovered from this site www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40004&t=1261... that they are kind of unique to Specialized bikes and kind of crummy. I managed to replace the originals with a Cane Creek IS2 bearing, and thought some people might benefit from info and pics so here they are. The instructions on the link worked for me, with the caveat that knocking out the cups was not easy. I managed it with a hammer and a screwdriver but it took a while, tapping a few times around their circumferences to gradually work them out. The result - steering went from notchy as hell to buttery-smooth!
Replaced broken micro-USB + MHL connector
Using a bit of wire like that is not strictly ideal, but as an expedient sometimes brute force is elegant.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating: it charges now
The International A series (or A-line) replaced the S series in April 1957. The name stood for "Anniversary", as 1957 marked the fiftieth (or Golden) anniversary of truck production by International Harvester. It was largely a rebodied version of the light and medium S-series truck, incorporating a wide cab and more integrated fenders. A modified version of this truck range was also built in Australia until 1979, where it was marketed both as an International and as a Dodge.
The new lower design necessitated a slight hump in the cabin floor. The stylish new front end, deleted running boards, and panoramic windshield brought the design more up to date for the later half of the fifties on this, the first all-new design to appear since Ted Ornas was put in charge of design in 1953. The hood was now hinged in the rear, rather than being a lift-off unit. The parking lights were mounted above the headlights. As with the R- and S-series trucks, there was a Travelall station wagon version developed from the new range. There were A-100 to A-180 series models available, with Gross Vehicle Weight ratings ranging from 4,200 to 33,000 lb (1,900 to 15,000 kg). A step-side bed remained standard, but a new flush-sided "Bonus Load" bed was an option for the first time. There was also a gold and white two-tone Golden Jubilee Custom Pickup package available, featuring some special equipment.
For 1959, the B series replaced the A series. This was the first of the series to feature V8 engines as an option, of either 304 ci or 345 ci. The usual engines were International's 'Diamond' series of inline-sixes. The B series had twin headlights, mounted above each other. The B-120 was also available with four-wheel drive. The B series was available with the same weight ratings as its predecessor, and was built until 1961 when more thorough changes took place, and the truck became known as the C series.
JENNYS WELL SIGHT LOSS CARE HOME IN PAISLEY AT RISK OF CLOSING DOWN

The jigsaw has been restored - a friend replaced the missing cogwheel piece and several tabs, in Autumn 2022.
Expert c400pc Vanity Fair, 1repl plus minor tab repairs, decorated continuous cut with cogwheels. Bought in Feb 2019.
I have seen Expert-cut brands of this image in 200pc, 300pc & 400pc piece counts - the Graphic Gallery, Warne Chandos & Boots Expert.
The painting is 'Vanity Fair' by John Young Hunter (1911). The model was the artist's first wife, Mary, also an artist, and it was painted in the grounds of Holland House, Kensington, London.
My jigsaw has a piece missing (top left corner) and two or three slightly damaged pieces, with a few lifting or lost pieces of image. It has a fantastic cut, with some spectacular whimsies (including F, H, L).

This earlier painting is owned by Tate Britain, who say:
"Painted in the grounds of Holland House, Kensington. The artist's first wife Mary (1872–1947) posed for the lady. The picture is cited in the Introduction to Royal Academy Pictures, 1899, with other imaginative canvases by the younger men as ‘typical examples of the modern spirit and as marking plainly the direction in which youthful fancy is disposed to tend’. A. L. Baldry described the school to which the artist and his wife belonged as ‘the new Pre-Raphaelites’ and said that it had grown up as a reaction against the realistic belief taught a quarter of a century before. According to him ‘My Lady's Garden’ was the first picture to show that this romantic tendency had gained a hold over the artist.

Disconnecting the flange joints, feeder pipes and cables 130 meters above the ground, the green mesh is to prevent small items from falling from the platform.
Replaced the air filter. This is what a dirty airfilter looks like.
Change it on time, so your car keeps performing at peak efficiency!
