Replaced the gearbox mount and the intercooler hoses with silicone hoses which are much more durable than the old rubber hoses.
The new gearbox mount is fitted with PU bushes instead of rubber bushes which are also more durable + stronger.
The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.

St Andrew, Walberswick, Suffolk
It wasn't unusual for 15th century Suffolk communities to rebuild their churches in the fashionable perpendicular style. Within ten miles, you can visit Blythburgh, Lowestoft St Margaret, Covehithe, and most famously Southwold. The same happened here - or, not quite. In those other parishes, the rebuilding of the church happened on the site of the old one, and often incorporated bits of the former fabric. Here, the new church replaced an old one that was more than a mile away.
We know a good bit about the old parish church of Walberswick, because records survive. We know about its bells and its thatched roof; we know about its images and stained glass windows. We know that, in 1492, the year Columbus first landed on the shores of the Americas, the new church built to replace it was completed. It was a grand affair, much on a scale with the other local churches previously mentioned.
Intriguingly, the tower of the new church is 70 years older. There was a chapel of ease to the old church on this site, and the tower was built to enhance it. The chapel was then demolished to make way for the new church. By the end of the 15th century, one of the grandest parish churches in England stood here. The windows, images and bells were moved here from the old church.
If you come here today, it may be because you are one of the Londoners discovering Walberswick, finding the charms that recently got it mentioned in a Sunday Colour Supplement as one of England's most fashionable watering holes, still cheaper than over-rated Southwold across the river. Or perhaps you are a Suffolker, and come because Walberswick is the world capital of crabbing. Whatever, the road into the village takes you past this church, and it must entrance you, it cannot fail to do so, for today, St Andrew at Walberswick is one of Suffolk's most dramatic ruins.
You approach from the south east, and the grand tower conceals the fact that the walls of the nave and chancel are a curtain, surrounding an open space. Within this is a smaller church, of little architectural interest, but of considerable social and historical significance. But to the ruins first.
The ruins suggest a building so like Blythburgh and Southwold that, if we are familiar with those two churches, we can read the missing pieces in this one. The aisles continue almost to the eastern wall of the chancel. Altar piscinas give us a sense of the liturgical life of this place. The grand arrays of windows in the south and north aisles allow us to imagine it like Blythburgh, full of light. Those from the north aisle were taken out and placed in the north wall of the new, smaller church that huddles in the ruins. All the coloured glass has gone, destroyed by Puritans in April 1644. They were probably also responsible for removing the brasses that once sat in the indents in the aisle, although their loss may equally be the responsibility of 18th and 19th century collectors.
There were Priest doors on both sides of the chancel; on your journey through the ruins, you walk in through one, and out through the other. There's another in the south side of the sanctuary.
What happened here? Within 50 years of this great Catholic church being erected in the 1490s, the Catholic church was driven from this land by the state centrist forces of Henry VIII and his children. Instead of living the colourful, sacramental life for which the building was erected, the parishioners became listeners, subject to the congregational, Anglican worship of the new Church of England. Simply, there were not enough of them to sustain such a large building.
The 17th century's long years of puritan darkness only exacerbated the problem, and by the 1690s the parishioners asked permission to demolish the old church, and build a much smaller one in the ruins. Permission was granted, and this was done, with the proviso that the tower be retained as a landmark for ships at sea. The same thing happened just up the coast at Covehithe. The bells were sold off to fund the work.
As you wander among the ruins, you will find a plaque on the north side commemorating the churchwardens who ordered the destruction, and oversaw the building of the new church, Edward Collins & John Taylor churchwardens in the yeare when the church was rebuilt and in the eight year of the reign of our sovereign Lord King William the Third AD 1696. Enthusiastic Protestants, then, and perhaps we should not despair of them. After all, any Parish church is a document of the buffeting winds of history that have swept over Suffolk in the last thousand years. At worst, they were pragmatists, preparing a space that was fitting for the worship of the times.
The new church was built in the west end of the south aisle - the old structure completely dwarfs it, and if you stand at the west end of the old nave you are outside, gazing up at the impossibly high roofline with its sanctus bell window.
If you step into Collins and Taylor's little church, you find yourself in a space that feels older than the considerable 19th century restorations in the villages round about. The grand font will catch your eye, surviving as it does from the 15th century building. Intriguingly, it is set beside the remains of one of the pillars that divided the nave from the south aisle.
The church is full of moving little details; the memorials to fishermen lost at sea, the collection of medieval coloured glass rescued from the ruins and put together as a mosaic in the south aisle. The pulpit and the screen survive from the 15th century church, although the screen is only a remnant, of course. The pulpit sits on another pillar fragment. Most moving of all is the supermensa, set in the top of the altar; this was a consecrated stone slab used in medieval times by travelling priests. It was recovered from the ruins shortly before the Second World War. A simple, twisted driftwood cross stands on top of it.
The ruins here are haunting, not because they are ancient - they aren't. Rather, they give us a brief window into what happened in England between their construction in the 1490s, and their destruction 200 years later. They are a document of the English Reformation, and its uneasy years of settlement. This is high drama indeed.
Replacing a window on your own is not an easy task if anything goes wrong in installation it will leads to a big problem. Hiring a professional window installer can fix your window in a proper manner and also avoid the mistakes while installation. There are various reasons to hire a professional window installer such as reliable service, save time, anticipate problem, and have all latest equipments.

I replaced the light seals on my Canonet QL17. But the roll got stuck half way through. That could be due to the fact that I was recycling a metal cartridge. you can get those at most places where they develop film. A small part of the original is left sticking out as the lab doesn't destroy the cartridge.
So I taped a piece of double X on the old film sticking out, It became a bit thick and was dragging a bit when i rolled in the film. It stopped advancing about half through the roll. Anyhoo... i'll put another roll through the Canonet and see... this test was rather inconclusive as didn't get to run a full roll. However, there were no light leaks on the frames that did get exposed....
At the Amsterdamse Wielerbaan, Sunday 26 april 1908
The most important race of the afternoon is the Match à Trois between the professional cyclists Jan Tullekens (NL) left, Sauvelon (BE) middle and Fokkinga (NL) right. Sauvelon replaced Charles A. Sherwood (US).
Before the start Tullekens was the obvious crowd favorite.
But the first manch Fokkinga won decisively. In the second manch Tullekens was the first to cross the finish line.
So there came a third manch, won by Fokkinga.
Sauvelon was disappointing. He played no role in this race.
Jan Tulleken was one of the strongest pro cyclist in the Netherlands in the years before the First World War, both on the road as on the track. In 1907 he became Dutch champion on the road. In 1909, 1912 and 1915 he won the national sprint.
In 1906 and 1908 J. E. Fokkinga became Dutch champion on the track, sprint, elite (in 1907, 1909 and 1910 he finished third.)

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – Rumbling fire truck engines began new chapter in Sembach history opened Oct. 1, as U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern assumed base operations at the former U.S. Air Force installation.
Civilian firefighters drove in Army fire trucks, replacing Air Force trucks, during and early morning event
that included an airman handing over keys to the fire house. Afterward, a new sign identifying the fire station
as a U.S. Army operation was fixed onto the building.
Sembach’s military history dates back to a French airfield following World War I. In 1951,
it became a U.S. air base. In January 2010, U.S. Army Installation Management Command, Europe Region, received Army approval to accept the transfer of the base, located just northeast of Kaiserslautern in the German state of Rheinland Pfalz.
The transfer of the base, now called Sembach kaserne, is primarily based on the future
Army stationing needs as required to support Army Europe transformation. In Dec. 2009, the 230th Military
Police Company relocated from Rhine Ordnance Barracks to Sembach. No final decisions have been made as
to what other organizations and units will permanently relocate to Sembach.
Cleared for public release. (Story produced by AFN Kaiserslautern, Spc. Lyndsey Farmer)
Built in 1925-1930, this Art Deco-style skyscraper was designed by Holabird and Root for the Chicago Board of Trade, which was founded in 1848 as an exchange for merchants in the rapidly developing city of Chicago, and replaced an earlier building that stood on the same site from 1885 until 1929. The previous building was the tallest in the city of Chicago from 1885 until 1895, when structural issues forced the truncation of the clock tower, with the present building taking up that mantle upon its completion in 1930, standing 44 stories and 604 feet (184 meters) tall, being the city’s tallest building until the completion of the Richard J. Daley Center in 1965. The tower forms a visual terminus along the northern section of LaSalle Street, which shifts a half-block west at Jackson Boulevard, highlighting the building as viewed down the skyscraper canyon from the north.
The building gets smaller as it rises, with a tower at the south end of the historic building, two shorter wings extending to the north, and a six-story base that covers the entire half-block footprint of the building. The exterior of the building is clad in limestone, with polished granite cladding at the base, the words “Chicago Board of Trade” engraved above the central bays of the north facade, flanked by decorative sculptural reliefs of bulls, tall window bays on the base with glass and metal spandrels, metal trim at the windows, and a central light court above the sixth floor with a parapet featuring sculptural reliefs surrounding a clock at the front. Above the base, the building is U-shaped, with two wings that rise thirteen stories above the base with vertical columns of one-over-one double-hung windows in the central bays with recessed metal spandrel panels that rise from decorative carved relief panels at the base, mechanical penthouses flanking the central light court atop the roof of each wing, low-slope roofs enclosed by parapets, and metal fire escapes mounted to the east and west facades of the building. Above this rises the building’s main tower, which features multiple setbacks, tapering as it rises, metal spandrel panels between windows in the central bays, decorative pilasters, and a hipped roof clad in standing seam metal, and crowned with an aluminum statue of the Roman Goddess of Grain, Ceres, created by John H. Storrs, which has no facial features. The building was expanded to the south in 1980 with a 23-story Postmodern-style addition, which was designed by Helmut Jahn, and is clad in glass curtain walls with a hipped roof, limestone panels, and arcades on the east and west facades of the ground floor, which is connected via an elevated multi-story walkway to the adjacent 1995 five-story annex, designed by Fujikawa Johnson, which is similar in appearance to the 1980 addition. Inside, the building houses offices, trading floors, with an intact Art Deco-style multi-story lobby with glossy polished black and white marble wall cladding, brass screens, railings, and trim, and a large light fixture down the middle of the ceiling, which was once the largest light fixture in the world.
The building was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1977, and was both listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The building has been modernized through a series of renovations, though it remains home to trading firms and offices, as well as the Chicago Board of Trade, one of the world's oldest futures and options exchanges, today known as CME Group after its merger with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 2007. The building is the tallest and most prominent of several structures along LaSalle Street that form a historic Skyscraper “Canyon” that terminates at the tallest structure along the street, the Board of Trade Building.
This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal of the New Year. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. The very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.
Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The Satellite Navigation Coordinates to Bohermeen are [53.650882,-6.77989] and is accessible using the M3, N2 and N52
The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Probably my best model so far. I've been improving this for the past 4 or 5 months and it still is here :D Yay for conservation! Scale is pretty nice and it has seats, see other pics for them. It's fig scale and can raise and lower, also has a breech and "trigger" As I said, see the other pics.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Khutti, this is my contribution for the Music and Lyrics Pool. Rein was reminded of the Miss Saigon CD cover with this photo if the Tower is replaced by a helicopter in flight. A little bit of info below, which has not been googled, because all Filipinos know this by heart, and check out the songs that Rein has attached and the one I have chosen through the links. Enjoy, I know, all of you would love all of them.
From the Broadway play MISS SAIGON originally performed by two Filipina singers, our pride, LEA SALONGA and ISAY ALVAREZ, who played KIM and GIGI, respectively. MISS SAIGON was produced by Cameron Mackintosh, music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and lyrics by Alain Boublil and Richard Maltby, Jr. Original players Jonathan Pryce and Lea Salonga, its composers and the play itself won the 1991 Tonys.
[GIGI]
They are not nice, they're mostly noise
They swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms
It starts:
The movie in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can't erase
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
The movie plays and plays
The screen before me fills
He takes me to New York
He gives me dollar bills
Our children laugh all day
And eat too much ice cream
And life is like a dream
Dream
The dream I long to find
The movie in my mind
[KIM]
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink
When I make love, it won't be me
And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes
[KIM, GIRLS]
And see they are not nice, they're mostly noise
The movie in my mind they kill like men, they die like boys
The dream that fills my head they give their cash, they keep their hearts
A man who will not kill but every night again it starts
[KIM]
Who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep us safe all day
So no one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream
The dream I have to find
The movie in my mind
[ALL GIRLS]
And in a strong GI's embrace
Flee this life
Flee this place
[KIM]
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind
Faversham’s Magna Carta
Copies of this confirmation of Magna Carta granted in 1300, which includes the whole text of Magna Carta, were sent to many towns throughout the country. At the foot of this copy it is stated in Latin that it is for the barons of the Port of Faversham. Originally granted by King John 1215, Faversham’s version is a confirmation of the re-issue of 1225.
1300 Magna Carta.
Parchment, c. 59 × 44 (+32) cms. Decorated initial ‘E’. Great seal of Edward I on a replaced parchment tag.

Translation
Edward by the grace of God king of England, Lord of Ireland and Duke of Aquitaine sends greeting to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons, sheriffs, reeves, ministers and all bailiffs and faithful people. We have inspected the charter of the lord Henry, our father, king of England (Henry III 1216-1272) about the liberties of England in these words:
Henry by the grace of God king of England, Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Count of Anjou sends greeting to his archbishops, bishops, earls, barons, sheriffs, reeves, ministers and all faithful people who will inspect the present charter. You may know that we by the instigation of God and for the salvation of our souls and the souls of our ancestors and descendants by our spontaneous and good will have, for the elevation of the Holy church and the bettering of our kingdom, given and granted to the archbishops, bishops, priors, earls, barons and ministers of our kingdom these liberties as are written below to be observed in our kingdom of England in perpetuity. Firstly we have conceded to God and we, by this our present charter, confirm for ourselves and for our heirs in perpetuity that the English church may be free and may hold all rights freely, fully and its liberties unquestioned; we have also granted and have given to all free men of our kingdom on behalf of ourself and of our heirs in perpetuity that they may have and hold the liberties as written below, by them and their heirs of us and our heirs in perpetuity. If any person of our earls or barons or of any other tenants who hold of us in chief through knight service may die and after his death and his heir shall be of full age and he owes relief, he may receive his inheritance through the old relief, that is to say an heir or the heirs of an earl by a hundred pounds for the entire Earldom, an heir or the heirs of a baron by a hundred marks for the full Barony, the heir or heirs by a hundred shillings for a full knights fee at the most and who has held less may give in accordance with the ancient custom of the fees. If however the heir of anyone of any such status should have been under age, the lord may not have custody of him nor of his land before he has taken his homage and afterwards such an heir who shall have been in custody, shall, when he has come of age, that is at twenty one years, receive his inheritance without relief and without a fine. Moreover that if he should have become a knight while he has been in custody, even so the land may remain in the keeping of his lords to the end of the aforesaid term. The guardian of the land of an heir of this nature, who has been under age, may not take anything from the heir’s land unless reasonable profits of that land. He ought to make report to us and if he, during his time of guardianship shall cause damage or commit waste then we will take it from him to be emended and the land may be committed to two trusted and honest men. And if we have given or sold the guardianship of the land to anyone of such nature and he then has caused damage or waste he shall loose that guardianship and it be handed over to two trusted and honest men of that fee who similarly may answer to us just as is aforesaid. However the guardian of the land has to accept a certain responsibility for the land in this manner: he will maintain the buildings, parks, fish ponds, stanks, mills and all things pertaining to that land out of the profits of the same land and when the heir shall come of full age he shall return his land completely stocked with ploughs and all other things in full just as he received it. All these things are to be observed concerning the custody of the lands of archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, churches and vacant dignitaries which pertain to us, except when the guardianship in this manner ought to come to us. The heirs shall marry without disparagement, a widow at once after her husband’s death and she may have her marriage allowance and her inheritance without obstacle and may not give anything for her dowry nor for her marriage portion for the inheritance; that is any inheritance which she, the same widow and her husband held on the day of her husband’s death and she may remain in her husband’s capital messuage for forty days after her husband’s death, within which days her dowry may be assigned to her, unless it shall have been already assigned to her or unless that residence should be a castle and if she should depart from such castle, a suitable house may be provided at once for her in which she may honourably remain until her dowry be assigned to her, as it aforesaid and meanwhile she may have a reasonable maintenance grant from the community. However a third part of all her husband’s land may be assigned to her for her dowry which was hers during his life, unless she had been provided with less dowry at the church entrance. No widow may be pressurised to get married while she has wished to live without a husband. Then so that she may give assurance that she will not marry without our assent if she has held from us or without her lord’s assent if she has held from another. Indeed neither we, nor our bailiffs will seize any land or rent for any debt when certain present chattels of the debtor are sufficient to pay the debt and the debtor himself made be prepared to make satisfaction, nor shall the sureties of the same debtor be distrained when the chief debtor himself has sufficient for the payment of his own debt and if the chief debtor should default in payment of the debt, not having the funds to make repayment or being reluctant to make payment when he is able, the sureties for the debt may be responsible and if they should wish they may have the debtor’s lands and rents until he makes satisfaction to them about the debt which they have paid for him previously, unless the chief debtor has shown that he is quit towards his sureties. The city of London may have all is ancient liberties and customs; in addition we wish and concede that all other cities and boroughs and towns and the barons of the Cinque Ports and all ports may have all the liberties as their free customs. No one may be distrained to make more service for a knight’s fee nor for any other free tenement than that which is owing. The common pleas may not follow our court but shall be held in another particular place. Recognizances of Nova Disseisina and of Morte Antecessorum shall not be taken unless in their own counties. We, or if we should be out of the kingdom our chief justiciary, shall send our justiciaries into every county whatsoever once in a year, where, with the knights of the shires they may take the aforesaid assizes and those things which at his coming in the county cannot be terminated through our aforesaid justiciaries at the two assizes which were taken, shall be terminated by the same men elsewhere in their itinerary and those matters which by the same men could not be terminated on account of difficulty of other articles may be referred to the justiciaries of the Bench. The assizes of Ultima Presentacione are always taken before the justiciaries of the Bench and to be terminated there. A free man may not be amerced for a minor offence except according to the manner of the same man’s offence and for a more serious offence according to the extent of his delinquency, saving to the consideration of his status and a merchant in the same way according to his merchandise and a villein of another, rather than of ours, shall be amerced in the same way according to his weregeld should he happen to be placed into our mercy and none of the aforesaid amercements shall be imposed unless through the oath of trusted and law-abiding men of the neighbourhood and knights and barons shall not be amerced except through their peers and not unless according to the manner of the offence. No ecclesiastical person shall be amerced according to the quantity of his benefice but according to the quantity of his lay fee and according to the nature of his offence nor shall any villein or free man be distrained to build bridges at the waterways unless they had been obliged to do so from ancient times and by right. No defences shall be made for any river banks apart from those which had been made as defences in the time of king Henry our grandfather throughout the same places and under the same terms, just as they were accustomed to do in his time. No sheriff, constable, coroner or any other of our bailiffs may hold pleas of our crown. If any person holding a lay free of us shall have died and our sheriff or bailiff shall show our letters patent concerning our summons about the debt which shows what he owes to us, it may then be lawful for the sheriff or our bailiff to impound and evaluate all the deceased person’s goods and chattels found in that lay fee to the extent of that debt assessed by the valuation of trusted men. Thence nothing may be removed from there until the debt to us which was clearly shown shall be paid and the residue may be left to the executors in accordance with the deceased person’s will and if nothing may be owed to us by him and all his chattels shall yield to the deceased, saving to the wife and children of the same in reasonable share. No constable or a bailiff of his may take the corn or other chattels of anyone who is not of the town where the castle is situated unless he immediately pays money for them, or then he can have respite by the wish of the vendor. If however he is of that same town he may pay the price within forty days. No constable may distrain any knight to give him money for castle guard if he shall have been willing to do this in his own person or if for some good reason he is not able to perform this service through another trusted man; in addition, if we have led or sent him into the army, he may be exempt from service in accordance with the time during which through us he was in the army because of the fee for which he has done service in the host. No sheriff or our bailiff or any other person shall take the horses or carts of anyone to make a carriage unless he shall make the payment laid down in ancient statutes, that is to say ten pence per day for one cart with two horses and fourteen pence per day for one cart with three horses. No cart of the demesne of any ecclesiastical person or knight or of any other lord shall be taken by our bailiffs neither shall we, our bailiffs or anyone else take wood belonging to anyone else for our castles or for any other of our works unless by permission of the person to whom the wood belongs. We will not hold the lands of those persons convicted of felony longer than one year and one day and then those lands shall be returned to the lord of the fees. All fish kidells shall forthwith be removed from the Thames and Medway and throughout the whole of England unless upon the sea coast. The writ called Precipe in future shall not be granted to anyone of any free tenement, thence a free man may loose his court. There shall be one measure of wine throughout our whole kingdom and one measure of beer and one measure of corn, that is to say the quarter of London and one width of dyed cloth, of russets and halberjects, that is two ells within the selvedges. Concerning weights, these shall be the same as the measures. In future nothing may be given or taken from him who seeks the writ of the inquisition Concerning life and limbs but it shall be freely conceded and not denied. If anyone may hold of us in fee farm or socage or burgage and shall hold land from another by military service we will not have the custody of either his heir nor lands which he holds of another because of that fee -farm, socage or burgage, unless the fee farm owes that same man military service. We will not have custody of the heir or lands of anyone who holds from any other person lands by military service by reason of petty serjeantry which he holds of us by service of giving daggers or arrows or other similar things to us. Forthwith no bailiff shall place any man to his open law, not to an open oath upon his own simple affirmation without faithful witnesses brought for the purpose. No free man be taken or imprisoned nor dispossessed of his free tenement nor of his liberties or free customs nor outlawed nor exiled nor in any way brought to destruction nor shall we go upon him nor condemn him except through the lawful judgement of his peers or through the law of the land. We will not sell to anyone, nor will we not deny nor delay to anyone either right or justice. All merchants, unless they have received public prohibition, shall have safe and secure conduct to go from and come into England and to remain and to travel throughout England both by land and by water to buy and sell with no unjust exactions, in accordance with the ancient and right customs, except in time of war and if they should be from the country with which we are at war and such merchants are found in our land at the beginning of the war, they shall be apprehended with no loss to their persons or to their goods until it is made known to us or to our chief justiciary how the merchants of our land who may be found in that land which is at war with us are used and if our men were safe there, then those others shall be safe in our land. If anyone has held of another escheat, as of the honour of Wallingford, Boulogne, Nottingham, Lancaster or other escheats which are in our hands and which might be baronies and has died, his heir shall not give any relief nor perform any other service to us other than he may make to a baron, if that might be in a baron’s hands and we will hold it in the same manner by which the baron held it, nor by reason of such a barony or escheat will we have any escheat or custody of any of our men unless he who held the barony or escheat held otherwise of us in chief. In future no free man shall give or sell any more of his land but except that from the residue of his land he may be able to make the service owing to the lord of the fee which pertains to that fee. All the patrons of abbeys which have charters of the kings of England concerning the advowson or the ancient tenure or possessions may hold custody of them while they shall have been vacant just is they ought to have and just as is decreed above. No one shall be arrested or imprisoned by the appeal of a woman for the death of any man other than her husband. Henceforth no county court may be held except from month to month, and where the greater term was accustomed to be it may be greater, neither shall any sheriff or his bailiff make his turn throughout the hundred except on two occasions in a year and not unless in the due and accustomed place, that is to say once after Easter and again after the feast of Michaelmas and the view of frank pledge shall be then made at the same Michaelmas term with no obstacle, thus moreover that everyone may have his liberties which he had or was accustomed to have in the time of king Henry our grandfather or which things he has since acquired. However the view of frank pledge may be so done that our peace may be held and that the tything may be fully kept just as it was accustomed to be and that the sheriff may seek no perquisites and that he may be content with such as the sheriff was accustomed to have when he made his view at the time of king Henry our grandfather, nor in the future may it be lawful for any man to give his land to a religious house and to take that land to hold from the same house nor may it be lawful for a religious house to accept land of any man and to lease that land to him from whom it was received. Forthwith if anyone has so granted land to a religious house and upon this is convicted, his gift shall immediately be curtailed and that land returned to the lord of that fee. Forthwith scutage may be taken [as was customary] in the time of our grandfather king Henry and saving to the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, Templars, Hospitallers, earls, barons and all other persons both ecclesiastical and secular all the liberties and free customs which they first had. However all men of our kingdom, both clergy and laity shall observe all the customs and the aforesaid liberties [hole in MS which we have granted] in as much as pertains to us towards them in the way that these pertain towards them. However for this grant and concession of those liberties and other things contained in our charter concerning the liberties of the Forest the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons and all people of our kingdom have given us a fifteenth part of all their moveable goods. We have granted also to the same people on our behalf and that of our heirs that neither we nor our heirs may request anything through which the liberties as contained in this charter may be violated or questioned and if any persons [may presume to commit such action] such may be worthless and set at nought.

Located adjacent the first Lobethal Institute Hall of 1898.
The Lobethal Centennial Hall foundation stone was laid on 8 August in 1936 on the centenary of the proclamation of the state of South Australia. About 600 people were present to witness the beginning of a new hall to replace the old Institute.
Mr C Meyer, one of the district's oldest and highly respected citizens laid the stone. Mr Meyer had been a member of the Institute Committee since 1894. He was one of the first trustees and a life member.
Local people bought seats for £1 each, to help furnish the hall built in the Art Deco style. Their names are still on the back of the seats.
The hall is also the site of film screenings.
The architect was Chris Smith of Adelaide.
Contractors: Messrs Newman & O'Malley of Lobethal.

The foundation stone of the Lobethal Institute was laid on 19 March 1898 by Dr Esau, of Woodside, in the presence of about 400 people. Dr Esau was the recipient of a silver trowel, given by the committee. The stone was presented by Mr F W Habich, of Tanunda. [Ref: Adelaide Observer 26-3-1898]
The present contract was only for the hall, stage, and rear ante-rooms, but the contractors had given a price for the whole building, including the front, and it was certain they would never get it done cheaper.
Architect: A H Lowry of Woodside. Contractors: Kumnick, Kroger and Pingel of Lobethal.
The dimensions are 42 ft frontage by depth of 76 ft. The building will consist of a front block containing a reading-room and library, each 15 ft by 13 ft, and a lobby 7ft wide. The main hall leading of the lobby is to be 127 ft, and the stage 16 ft deep, having a platform 2 ft 2 in high.
The material is Lobethal bluestone with red brick dressings. Provision has been made at the back of the building for future extensions. [Ref: Advertiser 22-3-1898]
The Lobethal Institute building was formally opened 26 August 1898. At the conclusion of the ceremony a luncheon was held, followed by a tea at 3 o’clock.. In the evening an entertainment was held by the Woodside Minstrels, and a ball terminated the day.
Institute Rooms
The Lobethal Institute committee held a successful bazaar on Friday and Saturday in aid of the building fund. Mr R Homburg MP performed the opening ceremony of the new additions (two rooms) to the front of the building. [Ref: Advertiser 26-11-1903]
Lobethal Institute History and Advance
Lobethal is certainly beginning to rank amongst the go-ahead country townships, and the latest improvement is the starting of the building of a banqueting hall at the rear of the institute. If the pioneers of the movement were to return they would find the institute now beyond their original dreams. In 1885 a few of the local townsmen held a meeting, with a view to starting a library.
A small brick building was hired and a few books purchased. This was carried on for a number of years until it was thought advisable to have a hall for amusements.
In 1898 the foundation stone was laid by the late Dr Esau, and in the same year the institute was opened.
Movements have been working during the past three years to raise funds to build a banqueting hall, and a strong ladies' committee - Mrs. W. R. Redpath (president) – have worked well and by their efforts £170 has been raised towards the outlay.
Mrs Redpath laid the foundation stone of the banqueting hall. It is hoped it will open in February. [Ref: Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser 28-22-1913]
The township name of Lobethal was changed to Tweedvale during World War One as a consequence of anti-German prejudice. The town name later reverted to Lobethal.

“The South Australian Company were the original selectors of the acre adjoining East Terrace, which now carries the Electric Power Station.” [Register 23 Oct 1919]
“Mr. Asmus Clausen. . . once owned a large timber yard at the corner of Grenfell-street and East-terrace, on the site now occupied by the Electric Power Station.” [Advertiser 12 Dec 1911]
“Adelaide will shortly possess an electric light and power station to be proud of. The building — boiler-house and chimney-stack, engine-room, &c, is now completed. The machinery has all arrived, and the bulk of it lies stacked in large cases awaiting erection. The engine room is a large apartment, running the whole length of the Grenfell-street frontage.” [Advertiser 24 Aug 1901]
“About 800 people assembled in the Grenfell-street works of the Electric Lighting and Traction Company of Australia on Tuesday night to witness the formal opening of the works.” [Advertiser 20 Nov 1901]
“The progress of electricity in Adelaide since the starting of the big power station in Grenfell-street has been rapid, most of the big establishments and buildings, already accepting its advantages.” [Critic, Adelaide 3 May 1902]
“New City Structures. . . A large chimney will also be constructed for the Adelaide Electric Supply- Company at East terrace. The cost of this structure is estimated at £3,000, and the chimney, when completed, will be 155 ft. in height. It is claimed that the structure will be one of the loftiest of its kind in the State.” [Register 1 Mar 1917]
“Since the forerunner of the present Adelaide Electric Supply Co.— the South Australian Electric Light and Motive Power Co.— was registered in 1895, great steps have been made in this industry. A still greater forward step was taken in 1919, when the company decided to erect a powerhouse at Osborne to take the place of the present building at East Terrace, the object being to effect an enormous saving in the cost both of handling the coal, which would then be discharged direct from the steamers to the powerhouse bunkers, and also secure an ample supply of cooling water from the river for condensing purposes.” [Port Adelaide News 20 Oct 1922]
“As soon as our new power house is in operation the generation of electricity will be gradually transferred from Grenfell street to Osborne, and the Grenfell street works will be closed, except for a small portion of East terrace, which will be retained and utilized as a converter station for the city. In order to provide for offices nearer the centre of the city, a site has been purchased on North terrace opposite the University. When these new offices are available we shall be ready to dispose of our land, machinery, and buildings in Grenfell street.” [Register 1 Dec 1922]
“the Adelaide Electric Supply Company. . . city building. The substantial and massive brick premises on the corner of Grenfell street and East terrace occupy an area of land 212 ft. 11 in. to Grenfell street by 154 ft. 9 in. along East terrace. The .Grenfell street frontage is two storey, while the huge boiler and engine rooms are each 32 ft. high, without including the 14 ft. high basement in each, in addition there are frontages to Pirie street and Tam o' Shanter place to be disposed of.” [News 12 May 1926]
“At the works of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company, Grenfell street, £250,000 worth of electrical appliances is being scrapped, intricate machinery which until recently supplied Adelaide with light and power is being reduced to scrap metal by a band of wreckers. . . one machine at Osborne will generate as much electricity as the whole of the Grenfell street plant, and at half the cost in coal. . . The lofty water towers must come down. Two huge chimney stacks which have been landmarks of the city must be reduced.” [News 17 Jun 1926]
“Adelaide will lose conspicuous landmarks when the towering chimneys of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company in Grenfell street are razed. The task of removing these smoke stacks will entail the displacing of more than half a million bricks. It is computed that enough material is contained in each chimney to build 10 cottages. The work will be rendered somewhat difficult owing to the fact that it will be necessary to remove the bricks from inside the stacks, as any attempt to dismantle from the outside might lead to damage to adjoining property from falling bricks. The work, however, will be facilitated by reason of the fact that iron rings were inserted inside the chimneys when they were constructed. The stacks are respectively 150 and 160 feet high, the larger one containing 300.000 bricks, and the smaller 250.000. The wall of each chimney is 3 ft. 9 in. thick at the base.” [News 28 Jun 1926]
“The chimneys and cooling towers on the Grenfell street powerhouse site have been taken down and most of the machinery has been removed. It is proposed to offer the property, including the substantial buildings comprising the old offices and engine room, by auction.” [News 10 Nov 1926]
“Old offices and works of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company, Limited, in Grenfell street are offering at what an agent described as ‘an absurdly low figure’, but there are no buyers.” [News 17 Jun 1931]
“The Government has accepted the offer of the Adelaide Electric Supply Co.'s disused power house on the corner of Grenfell street and East terrace for use in the training of youths under the vocational training scheme. The Youth Employment Committee will have the use of the building rent free, but will pay all rates and taxes due on the property.” [Advertiser 22 Jul 1937]
“Yesterday 10 young men began work in the Adelaide Electric Supply Co.'s old building at the corner of Grenfell street and East terrace. So many classes have been started that all space available at the Technical School and School of Mines has been used, and the Government has leased the Grenfell street buildings. There is ample room there, and within a week, classes in bootmaking, motor trimming, upholstery, and motor mechanics will begin. About 150 youths ranging in age from 18 to 25 are being taught . . No wages are paid, but in some cases tram or train fares are supplied.” [News 28 Sep 1937]
“Members of the Builders and Contractors' Association who visited the trade school in the Adelaide Electric Supply Company's old premises at the corner of East terrace and Grenfell street yesterday afternoon said they were very impressed with the work being done by youths in the school. At present 300 unemployed youths and young men are being fitted to take their places in industrial life, and when more accommodation has been provided and additional plant installed, the school will be able to accommodate 400. . . most of the youths, because of the depression and its aftermath, had never been in settled employment. . . Among the ‘boys’ are several married men, and one of them has three children. Altogether, 20 trades are taught at the school.” [Advertiser 12 May 1938]
“Decisions may be reached soon on the proposed new Adelaide Boys' High School, and the future of the Grenfell street Trades School.” [News 1 Nov 1939]
“the Grenfell Street Trade School, established in the old powerhouse of the Adelaide Electric Supply Co., Ltd., has been transformed into a school for training Royal Australian Air Force men and munition workers. Approximately 440 enlisted fitter trainees of the R.A.A.F. march to Grenfell street each day for instruction.” [News 18 Jun 1940]
“Training of Royal Australian Air Force personnel at the Grenfell Street Trades School will end on April 13. The school will become a building trades school for training returned servicemen as carpenters, joiners, painters, bricklayers, and plasterers. The school, which is administered by the State Education Department, has trained nearly 15.000 fitters for the Air Force since training started here in 1940.” [News 5 Apr 1945]
“the opening yesterday of a new furniture trade school in the former tool annexe of Finsbury. . . About 60 benches, made by the trainees, had been provided to cater for the requirements of 23 cabinet makers, six chair makers, 14 french polishers and 23 upholsterers. It is intended to set up a wood milling plant in the new school which will provide facilities for the training of an additional 100 carpenters and joiners. This will be possible because of the transfer of the furnishing trade personnel from the Grenfell street Trades School, which will now become the carpentry, joinery and painting trades centre.” [Advertiser 30 Jun 1946]
“The SA Amateur Swimming Association will not accept a city property for conversion to a learners' swimming pool. SAASA secretary, Mr. Tom.Herraman, said today it was considered that running costs and administrative responsibilities on the pool would be beyond present resources. The property is the old cooling tank in the premises of the former Adelaide Electric Supply Co. Ltd., at the corner of Grenfell street and East terrace.” [News 11 Dec 1953]

Replaced the stock 13T turbo with the bigger & stronger 16T turbo from a V70 T5.
Re-used the Mamba wastegate actuator (so makes the same boost now) and made the step towards an external DV, which is better than the bolt-on CBV (which I already upgraded).
Pulls a bit harder and feels a tad more powerfull!
i replaced it.
sorry if you commented on the other.

The Great West Window of Worksop Priory contained a window of 1868 probably by O'Connor. but this was replaced in 2003 by a window showing St Cuthbert, to whom, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, the church is dedicated. It was designed by Helen Whittaker and she explains the design as follows:
St. Cuthbert is set against white foliated scrollwork with a blue
background. The design elements of the scroll are based on the
Priory's south door ironwork and the leaves, fruit and flowers
from the Tickhill Psalter. The figure is framed by a geometric
band of lozenges in a mix of white tints, bordered in beaded
strap work. The central bosses of the diamonds are inspired by
the Priory's unique stone-carved rosettes, found in the
architecture of the nave aisle. The band is interrupted with
small chips of coloured glass, break-leads and painted details
influenced by Romanesque glass painting. The names of
benefactors are recorded within the diamond quarries of this
band. At the corners of the base and spring lines of the window
are four, white-bordered roundels set on the red ground, each
relating to the life of St. Cuthbert.
The top left roundel depicts the beginning of his commitment to God in
the year 651. Cuthbert had a vision, whilst at prayer, of a dazzling beam
of light across the night sky. Within the light a host of angels bore a
burning globe, the soul of St. Aidan, to heaven. In the top right roundel
can be seen his ending on the island of Farne. A monk announced
Cuthbert's death to the brethren of Lindisfarne by signalling with
lighted torches from a high rock. The bottom left roundel depicts two
Eider ducks known as ‘St. Cuthbert's birds’ on the Farne Islands. He
befriended and tamed them and promised that they should never be
disturbed. To the right can be seen the story of the Ravens, that brought St.
Cuthbert a piece of hog's lard. He used the incident as a parable to teach man
how to be obedient and humble.

Built 1940
West Acton Station was built to designs by Brian Lewis, chief architect to the Great Western Railway, and opened in 1940. It replaced an earlier station building of 1923, built as part of the Ealing & Shepherd's Bush Railway, a joint venture between the GWR and the Central London Railway. Although built by the GWR, the new station formed part of London Underground's New Works Programme which ran from 1935-1940.
By 1935, much of the framework of the London Underground system was established, and a focus on building of new lines gave way to the extension and integration of the existing system. The New Works Programme was published on the 5 June 1935 and embodied this shift in ideals. It proposed to electrify and link existing suburban railways to the Tube network, to extend the Central, Northern and Bakerloo lines, and to introduce escalators in place of lifts in existing London Underground stations. Part of the rational for the Programme was to provide work in a time of economic torpor. The western Central Line station designs had been completed by 1938, but construction was delayed by the Second World War. Lewis's designs were modified by other architects after 1945 and West Acton was the only station to be completed to Lewis's original plan
The exterior of West Acton Station comprises a ticket hall building on a concrete bridge over the two central tracks, with open-sided staircases running down to two platforms. The ticket hall is a reinforced concrete frame 'box', clad in brick, with full-height window with concrete mullions on both the front and rear elevations. The brick side walls rise above the roofline to form two slender pylons. Below the window on the main frontage, the entrance is sheltered by a flat canopy perforated with glass blocks. The canopy has a metal fascia, with the original frame and new panels announcing the name of the station. It supports a pole-mounted Underground roundel, which is a modern replica. The entrance is flanked by two retail kiosks with timber shop fronts.
The ticket hall has a terrazzo floor, tiled lower walls, and a painted concrete ceiling. It is lit by wall-mounted uplighters. The upper walls were originally fair-faced brick but are now painted. A curved varnished timber bench and two vitreous enamel destination boards dating to 1962 survive in the ticket hall. The tiles here and elsewhere in the station are pale cream, with red and black edging. Whilst all are recent replacements they are all sympathetic to the original colour scheme.

Dear 2009,
I'm sorry I've already written you off as a "transition year" instead of viewing you as a fresh start- a year full of endless opportunities. I'm sorry I haven't given you any nifty resolutions, just because the other years made fun of the resolutions I gave them. While I'm sure you have many amazing qualities, I'm just not interested in them for the time being. Most of all, I deeply apologize that your new life has been overshadowed by 2008's death, at least in my eyes. But hey- at least you don't have to carry the burden of trying to live up to the year before you...that, at least, should be pretty easy for you. I did a fantastic job of making sure you would have no problem topping 2008.
I ask that you allow me to traverse your rocky landscape at my own pace. That you let me fall and scrape my knees, so that I'll learn not to run too far ahead. Basically, all that I ask, is that you allow me to make my mistakes and learn from them. Please don't guilt me. 2008 did a marvelous job of that, and therefor, I stayed stuck in neutral instead of falling and picking myself up.
I think we could become close friends towards the end of the year, but for now, I'll choose to keep a bit of a (respectful) distance. I do hope you accept my apologies. I wish you the best of luck, and hope that we can collaborate down the road!
-ashley.
To actually understand the photo you really need to listen to this song by Ryan Adams:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2fHdAbIvwQ&feature=related
It's amazing. The piano moves through you. His voice is beyond haunting. The lyrics...I can't even say anything about the lyrics that could ever do them justice. He'll be in Louisville in March. I know I won't go, but it's nice to pretend I might. He's genius. I've liked him for quite a few years now, but just recently picked up this track when it released in October and completely fell in love all over again.
I know a sickness
So ancient and cross
No crucifix
Could ever fix enough
In the basement of a church
These people, they talk
There is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
I know a place
Where the future is denied
I know a hand
That twitches inside
For some of us the glass
Is filled with lights
But if the honey
Makes you sick
Honey, there is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
Stop
Slow down
You don't have to talk
Lie down
Breathe
Stop
Slow down
It's not your fault
Look around
There's so many of us
So many of us
You are not alone
Ever
Ever
Ever
Stop
Call in the backup and the backup comes
Nobody can help you if you won't
Inside your chest your heart is just hurt
Behind your eyes a need replaced a want
I know a sickness so ancient and cross
A crucifix can never fix enough
I know a past when the future is lost
I know a line that must be walked
There is a darkness and there is a light
And there is a choice.
For a balance to be made every night
A weakness must be found
If you want it to stop
Stop
Stop
- Stop: Ryan Adams
I know I've used this song before, but it's seriously so incredibly amazing that I can't help it. It's my life at the moment...I truly don't think this song could be improved upon.
Yes- I was lazy and used photoshop for the 3 layers- I didn't do it in-camera. If you look at it as a single image it gets a bit jumbled, but if you can separate the 3 in your mind, but still kind of keep them together, it works out a bit better.
The image is loosely based off the entire song Stop, but more directly inspired by the title- which is indeed a specific line from said song.
P.S. 2009- I had a lot of amazing plans for you a couple of months ago, but what can I say? A Need Replaced A Want. Please don't hold a grudge.
