The Baltimore Co Police Department is replacing the current fleet of Ford Crown Victorias with brand new Ford Interceptors. The first 50 cars have been purchased. Over the next 6 years the chief of police expects all currently remaining crown vics to be replaced by the new vehicle.
Store #2121's replacement is this modified KFC, across the street. Number 2121's property is going to be the site of a Commerce Bank.
Here is the Bing.com bird's eye view of this building, when it was closed as a KFC but not yet open as Taco Bell. It was in that awkward in-between stage. LOL

The coracle is a small, roundish shaped, lightweight boat of the sort traditionally used in Wales but also in parts of Western and South West England, Ireland (particularly the River Boyne), and Scotland (particularly the River Spey); the word is also used of similar boats found in India, Vietnam, Iraq and Tibet. The word "coracle" comes from the Welsh cwrwgl, cognate with Irish and Scottish Gaelic currach, and is recorded in English as early as the sixteenth century. Other historical English spellings include corougle, corracle, curricle and coricle.
STRUCTURE
Oval in shape and very similar to half a walnut shell, the structure is made of a framework of split and interwoven willow rods, tied with willow bark. The outer layer was originally an animal skin such as horse or bullock hide (corium), with a thin layer of tar to make it fully waterproof – today replaced by tarred calico or canvas, or simply fibreglass. The Vietnamese/Asian version of the coracle is made somewhat differently: using interwoven bamboo and waterproofed by using resin and coconut oil. The structure has a keel-less, flat bottom to evenly spread the weight of the boat and its load across the structure and to reduce the required depth of water – often to only a few inches, making it ideal for use on rivers.
Each coracle is unique in design, as it is tailored to the river conditions where it was built and intended to be used. In general there is one design per river, but this is not always the case. The Teifi coracle, for instance, is flat-bottomed, as it is designed to negotiate shallow rapids, common on the river in the summer, while the Carmarthen coracle is rounder and deeper, because it is used in tidal waters on the Tywi, where there are no rapids. Teifi coracles are made from locally harvested wood – willow for the laths (body of the boat), hazel for the weave (Y bleth in Welsh – the bit round the top) – while Tywi coracles have been made from sawn ash for a long time. The working boats tend to be made from fibreglass these days. Teifi coracles use no nails, relying on the interweaving of the laths for structural coherence, whilst the Carmarthen ones use copper nails and no interweaving.
They are an effective fishing vessel because, when powered by a skilled person, they hardly disturb the water or the fish, and they can be easily manoeuvred with one arm, while the other arm tends to the net; two coracles to a net. The coracle is propelled by means of a broad-bladed paddle, which traditionally varies in design between different rivers. It is used in a sculling action, the blade describing a figure-of-eight pattern in the water. The paddle is used towards the front of the coracle, pulling the boat forward, with the paddler facing in the direction of travel.
Another important aspect to the Welsh Coracle is that it can be carried on his back by one person. 'Llwyth dyn ei gorwgl' — the load of a man is his coracle. (Welsh saying).
HISTORY
Designed for use in swiftly flowing streams, the coracle has been in use in the British Isles for centuries, having been noted by Julius Caesar in his invasion of Britain in the mid first century BC, and used in his campaigns in Spain. Remains interpreted as a possible coracle were found in an Early Bronze Age grave at Barns Farm near Dalgety Bay, and others have been described, from Corbridge and from near North Ferriby.
According to Ian Harries, coracle fisherman, coracles are so light and portable that they can easily be carried on the fisherman's shoulders when proceeding to and from his work. Coracle fishing is performed by two coraclers. Where fishing is performed by two people, there is one fisherman per coracle. The net is stretched across the river between the two coracles (the coracler will paddle one handed, dragging the net in the other) and drawn downstream. When a fish is caught, each hauls up an end of the net until the two coracles are brought to touch, and the fish is then secured, using a priest (or knocker – a small block of wood) to stun the fish.
In the 1920s and 30s James Hornell personally visited hundreds of rivers in the British Isles to talk with remaining coracle makers and users, in order to save the tradition. This resulted in his major book British Coracles and the Curraghs of Ireland (The Society for Nautical Research, 1938) containing drawings, diagrams and construction details gleaned from regular makers.
TODAY
Coracles are now seen regularly only in tourist areas of West Wales, and irregularly in Shropshire on the River Severn – a public house in Sundorne, Shrewsbury called "The Coracle" has a pub sign featuring a man using a coracle on a river. The Welsh Rivers Teifi and Tywi are the best places to find coracles in Wales, although the type of coracle differs depending on the river. On the Teifi they are most frequently seen between Cenarth, and Cilgerran and the village of Llechryd.
In 1974 a Welsh coracle piloted by Bernard Thomas (~1923–2014) of Llechryd crossed the English Channel to France in 13 1⁄2 hours. The journey was undertaken to demonstrate how the Bull Boats of the Mandan Indians of North Dakota could have been copied from coracles introduced by Prince Madog in the 12th century.
For many years until 1979, Shrewsbury coracle maker Fred Davies achieved some notability amongst football fans; he would sit in his coracle during Shrewsbury Town FC home matches at Gay Meadow, and retrieve stray balls from the River Severn. Although Davies died in 1994, his legend is still associated with the club.
THE CORACLE SOCIETY
The Coracle Society is a UK-based organisation was founded in 1990 by its former president, Sir Peter Badge. The five founding aims of the Society were:
To promote the knowledge of coracles, curraghs and allied craft, their making and use, and also their study and collection,
To take all reasonable steps to support the continuance of fishing involving the use of coracles and to encourage the holding of coracle regattas, races and the like,
To publish a newsletter as a means of communication between all those interested in coracles,
To use its best endeavours to obtain supplies of materials for the construction of coracles, and
To promote demonstrations, courses, exhibitions, discussions and lectures relating to coracles.
The current president of the Society is Dr Irving Finkel, Assistant Keeper in the Department if the Middle East at the British Museum, who is known for decoding a cuneiform tablet detailing Noah's Ark – the description of which resembles a very large coracle. The current Society chairperson is Jude Pilgrim, a committee member of the Heritage Lottery Fund. She recently played an instrumental part in setting up the Ironbridge Coracle Trust, formed to save the Eustace Rogers coracle hut in Ironbridge from demolition.
There are many Society members across the country who demonstrate at events and/or run coracle building courses, helping meet the Society's founding aims. A list of some of this year's events can be found on the official Coracle Society website.
The Society was present at the 2005 Shrewsbury River Festival, where they displayed various coracles on the River Severn. There is also an annual coracle regatta held in Ironbridge on the August Bank Holiday Monday every year. Organised by the Green Wood Centre until 2014 and the Ironbridge Coracle Trust from 2015, it is run on an informal basis whereby anyone with a coracle can take part in the event. Each year new entrants come with coracles made on the Bank Holiday weekend at the Green Wood Centre.
Members of the Society support the annual world championship coracle races in Shrewsbury, which raises funds in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.
In 2010, the Society celebrated its 20th anniversary with a number of events planned to recognise this important milestone, including a morning of talks at the National Coracle Centre in Cenarth. In 2015, the Society celebrated its 25th anniversary at its founding home of St Fagans National History Museum. A number of events took place, including a talk from Dr Irving Finkel about his experiences decoding the Noah tablet and making the accompanying Channel 4 documentary. The Society also supported the return of coracles and coracle regattas to Welshpool in 2015.
SAFETY
The design of the craft, as explained above, makes the coracle an unstable craft. Because it sits "on" the water, rather than "in" it, the vessel can easily be carried by currents and the wind. The Coracle Society has published guidelines for safely using coracles.
SIMILAR CRAFT
The oldest instructions yet found for construction of a coracle are contained in precise directions on a four-thousand-year-old cuneiform tablet supposedly dictated by the Mesopotamian god Enki to Atra-Hasis on how to build a round "ark". The tablet is about 2,250 years older than previously discovered accounts of flood myths, none of which contain such details. The earliest known written evidence of a coracle-type boat (quffa), still in use today, is in the Bible, Exodus 2:3.
The Irish curach (also currach or curragh) is a similar, but larger, vessel still in use today. Curachs were also used in the west of Scotland:
The curach or boat of leather and wicker may seem to moderns a very unsafe vehicle, to trust to tempestuous seas, yet our forefathers fearlessly committed themselves in these slight vehicles to the mercy of the most violent weather. They were once much in use in the Western Isles of Scotland, and are still found in Wales. The framework [in Gaelic] is called crannghail, a word now used in Uist to signify a frail boat.
— Dwelly's [Scottish] Gaelic Dictionary
The currachs in the River Spey were particularly similar to Welsh coracles. Other related craft include:
India – parisal
Iraq – kuphar or quffa
Native American societies – bull boat
Tibet – ku-dru and kowas
Vietnam – thung-chai
INDIAN CORACLE
Indian coracles (Tamil:பரிசல், Kannada:ಹರಗೋಲು,ತೆಪ್ಪ) are commonly found on the rivers Kaveri and Tungabhadra in Southern India. Coracles are primitive, light, bowl-shaped boats with a frame of woven grasses, reeds, or saplings covered with hides. Indian coracles are considered to have been in existence since prehistoric times, and are a major tourist attraction at the Hogenakkal falls on the Kaveri river. Although these boats were originally designed for general transport, they have recently been used mostly for giving tourists rides.
TYPES
The coracles found in the Hogenakkal are of two types, which differ mainly in size. The smaller ones are about 1.9 metres in diameter, and are used primarily for fishing. The larger ones, which measure up to 2.6 metres in diameter, are used for tourists.
DESIGN
Indian coracles are either saucer or bowl shaped and circular, with the greatest diameter across the mouth. The circular coracles in Iraq are very similar, but they have convexly curved sides, and thus the mouth is not the widest part. Indian coracles are on average about 2.24 metres in diameter, but can still hold eight people at a time. Other kinds of coracles usually can only hold one person. Indian coracles, and coracles in general, are made of bamboo and take about a day to build, given all the necessary materials. The bottoms of the boats are covered in hides, or sometimes with sheets of plastic, in order to make them waterproof. In modern times, a sheet of LDPE plastic is often embedded between two layers of bamboo. Sometimes the bottom of the craft is tarred to make it waterproof. Coracles are steered and propelled using a single paddle, making them unique.
CONSTRUCTION
The boats are made primarily from bamboo. The first step in construction is a basic framework woven from bamboo sticks. Then the bottom is further reinforced with the addition of more bamboo sticks, making the boat's base sturdy. Once the bottom is structurally sound, the lowest points of the sides are defined by a circumferential band of three flat strips of bamboo woven into the existing lattice. The sides of the boat are then made with 20 to 30 adjacent strips of bamboo. Finally this framework is again strengthened by lightweight bamboo, making sure that the sides are not heavier than the base.
The boats had earlier been waterproofed by using hides of animals, but these days plastic sheets are used for this purpose as they are cheaper as well as easily available. The waterproofing is further enhanced by a layer of tar, a feature which is common in most contemporary coracles.

This baroque sarcophagus was built for Cardinal Lorenzo Imperiali (1612-1673).
The Renaissance basilica of Sant'Agostina was built 1479-1483, replacing an older Gothic church - with a façade built of travertine nicked from the Colosseum. The building was funded by Guillaume d'Estouteville, who was the Archbishop of Rouen and a Papal Chancellor.
FROM - Border Watch (Mount Gambier, SA : 17 Nov 1936 (Trove) NEW P.M.G. TRUCK Replaces Motor Cycle Outfit.——
The motor cycle outfit used by the telephone linesmen, which has bee a familiar sight in the town and district for years, has now been replaced with a light motor truck. The new vehicle will no doubt increase the efficiency of the work of the Postal Department, and will certainly add to the comfort of the staff particularly in wet, and cold weather. The new vehicle is painted in bright red, as is customary with the policy of the Department.
This tote is very large and completely reversible. The Cream floral vines outer is replaced with a pretty pink branches & butterflies when flipped out, and each side has its own 5" x 6" pocket.
It is fully interfaced for stability and body, and constructed with sturdy seams in both body and handles for heavy loads.
Measuring 15" x 13" x 6.5", this tote is large enough to carry as a purse, diaper bag, grocery tote, gym bag, school book bag, craft supply tote, beach gear carryall, whatever you can think of, and folds down to take up very little room in a glove box or trunk until you need it again.
This listing is for 1 Reversible Tote Bag in Cream Vines / Pink Butterflies. It is made of 100% Cotton and is and pre-shrunk; if it becomes soiled, just machine wash and dry as usual.
Thanks for shopping at Holly Storm Designs!
son working on his brother's truck again...and what part of "I don't do electric or carbs" did he not understand?? I ended up doing the wiring for the turn signal and really hope I did it correctly. First time for everything. Good news, the truck now has both brake lights.
Funny part...the blinkers still were not working. Stayed on but didn't blink. Hmmm...wonder if it could be a fuse or something (yes that was mentioned a couple of days ago. The wiring did need to be replaced but I told him it seemed like a 'fuse' problem or a relay). Hey guess what, found the manual and surprise! No flash relay at all LOL!! So now the truck has blinkers, brake lights, the turn signal switch stays in place (well sort of...), and all we gotta worry about is whether or not the wiring part stays put. o.O
Reminded me of how much I miss working on cars. At least he got it honestly :)
Universal Technical Institute is gonna have a great student with this guy. He makes me smile.
Oh and no shock, sparks, or fire...yay!

Ordered by the leasing company GPA Group Ltd (Guinness Peat Aviation which later became GECAS), this aircraft was originally destined for lease to Vacationair, Canada as C-FVND but they ceased operations in Jan-90.
Instead the aircraft was leased to Futura International Airways in Feb-90, initially with the temporary Spanish registration EC-401. It was re-registered EC-ETB later the same month.
In late Apr-98 it was returned to GECAS, leased to UK company AB Airlines as G-OABF the same day and sub-leased back to Futura until Nov-98 when it was returned to AB Airlines.
It was then sub-leased to Transbrazil as PT-TDE during the European Winter season. It was returned to AB Airlines in May-99 and immediately sub-leased to Futura International again, this time as EC-HBT.
In Nov-99 AB Airlines ceased operations and the sub-lease was transferred back to GECAS until Apr-00 when the aircraft was returned. It was re-registered N545NK for a couple of months and then leased to All Nippon Airways subsidiary ANK Air Nippon as JA391K in Jun-90.
JA391K was sub-leased to Air Do (Hokkaido International Airlines) in Apr-05 and operated by them for 3 years until it was returned to ANK and GECAS in Jul-08. It was immediately leased to Skynet Asia Airways, still as JA391K.
Skynet Asia was renamed Solaseed Air in Jul-11 and the aircraft continued in service until it was retired and returned to the lessor as N609SC in Apr-12. It was permanently retired at Greenwood, MS, USA. The registration N609SC was never applied to the aircraft and it was last noted at Greenwood in Nov-12, still as JA391K, and was later broken up.

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWYA, this aircraft was delivered to Air Canada as C-GHLM in Aug-01. It was repainted in 'Star Alliance' livery in Jul-09. Current, updated (Nov-19).
Note: As I'm writing this (19-Nov-19) the aircraft is at Melbourne, FL, USA, presumably on maintenance (since 24-Oct). It's due to operate Toronto / Dublin return 20/21-Nov-19 so it had better get a move on...
This car, initially numbered 3056, was completed in June of 1955. Apparently the first race was the Portuguese Grand Prix on June 26, 1955, but, only six days old, it did not appear. One month later it finished second in the Portugal Grand Prix and then it competed in some small races. The car finished eighth overall in the May, 1956 Silverstone Race and it was entered in the 1,000 KM Nurburgring Race on May 27th, but it did not appear.
It failed to finish the June 30th 12-hour race at Rheims, and then apparently went back to the factory for an upgrade. A new long-nosed body was fitted, brakes from the 450S were installed on all four wheels, and a new engine with a stronger crankshaft was installed. On June 22, 1957, it appeared in the 24 hours of Le Mans as Race #12. It continued to be numbered 3056 for this race, but had to retire because of clutch problems.
Maserati historian Walter Baumer concludes that this car participated in the Grand Prix at Kristianstad, near Stockholm. It raced successfully there and returned to Italy when sport activity in the factory was halted because of financial difficulties. The car was passed on to Scuderia Centro Sud, for whom Jean Behra raced.
During this time, the car received a new engine, number 3077 and was given that chassis number on January 14, 1958. Centro Sud owed Jean Behra for his racing activities and in the absence of six million lira, the car was apparently given to Behra. He came in second place in Oporto, Portugal. In need of funds, Behra sold the car to dealer Gerino Gerini, after the car was refreshed by the factory. (Although it may still have been owned by Centro Sud based on stickers still with the car).
It came in tenth in the Sussex Trophy Race at Goodwood, driven by Brazilian Hermano da Silva Ramos. Soon after, Gerini sold the car to American Paul Growley, who sold it in late 1959 to Bill Dixon. Dixon replaced the engine with a Chevrolet V-8 unit and was driven by Dixon for several races until sold to Dan Smith in the mid-1970s.
At one point in time it was owned by automobile dealer Len Renick, who advertised it for sale and via Keith Duly, we purchased the car with a 3500 GT engine, but otherwise it was very complete. It was sent over to Neil Twyman’s shop, where it was reviewed by Maserati expert Steve Hart. He said that the body had its original panels, fuel and oil tanks, steering wheel, front and rear bonnets, all wheels original, and the chassis had all factory specifications. Front suspension and rear axle were intact, as well as the transaxle. Dashboard and windshield posts were all in place. In fact, the car was complete except for the engine.
The east side of Gorsey Lane, home to Rylands FC. A new clubhouse/dressing rooms complex is to be built, replacing the portable buildings in this view. Captured during a 2-0 third round defeat by Avro in the North West Counties League's First Division Cup. With Rylands second in Division One South and Avro third in Division One North, this was the tie of the last 16. The Oldham-based visitors secured victory with two first half goals, though Rylands squandered four good chances after the break.
Match statistics:
Admission: £4. Programme: £2 (32 pages). Attendance: 70. Rylands 0 Avro 2 (HT 0-2). Scoring sequence: 0-1 (Mike Stockdale, 17mins); Duncan Knott (0-2, 44mins).
Rylands Recreation Club FC were formed in 1911 as the works team of a wire manufacturer. Initially, they played in the Liverpool County Combination before switching to the Warrington & District League. Rylands won successive championships between 1955 and 1959. In 1958, they added the Liverpool Junior Cup and the Warrington Guardian Cup. Seeking a better standard of football, Rylands joined the Mid-Cheshire League in 1969. They had to wait until 1979 to secure their first trophy, the League Cup, then topped the table in 1981 and 1984. A long barren spell, enlivened only by reaching the League Cup Final (2000) and finishing league runners-up (2002), ended in 2008 with Rylands merging with Crosfields FC to form Crosfields/Rylands FC. In 2012, the name Rylands FC was resurrected and former Rylands player Paul Stretford, the agent of international striker Wayne Rooney, invested heavily in the club. Rylands lifted the Warrington Guardian Cup in 2015 and were Mid-Cheshire League runners-up in 2013, 2014 and 2018. An U21 team was set up in 2015 before Rylands merged with junior club Fife Rangers, swelling impressively the number of youth players under the Rylands FC banner. For the 2018-19 season, Rylands were admitted to the North West Counties League's First Division South and are now playing at step six for the first time in their history.

Originally built as an MD-82, this aircraft was first flown in Jun-82 and stored at Long Beach, CA, USA until it was delivered to Austrian Airlines as OE-LDX in Feb-83. It was converted to MD-82 standard in Dec-90. Austrian sold it to Airfleet Credit Corporation in Dec-99 and it was leased to Spirit Airlines as N812NK 5 days later. Spirit bought it from the lessor in Jan-05 and sold it 2 weeks later to Safair (Pty) Ltd, South Africa as ZS-OPU. It was immediately leased to Comair and operated on behalf of Kulula.com. It was returned to Comair and Safair in Dec-07 and stored at Johannesburg. The aircraft was leased to Insel Air International as PJ-MDB in May-08. After 34 years in service it was permanently retired at Curacao, Netherlands Antilles in Jul-16.
The Weatherproof outerwear company removed their unauthorized Barack Obama billboard in Times Square New York City and replaced the location with a new presidential themed design using an image of Mount Rushmore which features sculptures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln for there add campaign.
Sarah Palin was considered to be in the replacement add campaign.
The original billboard — Weatherproofs, that is — uses an Associated Press news photo from Obamas trip to China. It features Obama standing by the Great Wall, wearing a Weatherproof jacket, with the tag line: A Leader in Style.
Weatherproof had purchased the right to use the photo, but the agreement required the company to seek any necessary clearances for use. A White House lawyer contacted the company on Jan. 8 and asked that they remove the billboard.

OK so the element works...hooray! But don't forget to DISCONNECT from the electricity supply before you complete the final steps.
I took the opportunity to clean the backplate. There was a lot of encrusted gunk on the back of the plate, partially blocking the fan vents..I wonder if this contributed to the element's demise? I replaced the oven bulb which had failed (15 watt SES 300 degree - I got a Philips T22 E14 about £2). Replace the back plate with the 4 screws - you did keep them in a safe place didn't you? I took the opportunity to clean the glass on the oven door too. Wow...now we can actually see the stuff being cooked for the first time in a couple of years!
I then checked out the oven by starting at 100 degrees and checking the thermostat went out after a couple of minutes. then 150 degrees...another couple of minutes..then 200 and 300. Seemed ok.

Fleet No: "107".
Completed in Mar-79, this aircraft was built as a DC-10-30CF with a main deck cargo door and could be used for either passengers or freight. It was delivered to World Airways as N107WA in May-79.
As well as operating it's own charter flights and US Government contracts, World Airways was a major ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance) lessor operating for other airlines.
The aircraft was sold to Mitsui Finance in Mar-87 and leased back to World. They bought it back in Dec-89, then sold it again, this time to DPF Airleases in Jan-91 and leased it back.
It was used on Haj Pilgrimage flights for Malaysia Airlines between Sep/Oct-81, Jul/Sep-85, Jul/Sep-86 and Jun/Aug-89. World also operated Haj Pilgrimage flights for Garuda Indonesia Airlines between Jul/Sep-90 and Jun/Aug-91.
Between Jun/Aug-92 World operated a Haj Pilgrimage for Malaysia Airlines again and then for Garuda again between Apr/Jul-93. It operated for Malaysia Airways again between Apr/Jun-94. It was wet-leased to Malaysia Airways again in Apr-95.
I'm not sure but that may have been a lease to MASkargo as a freighter, it returned to World Airways in Apr-96. The aircraft was permanently retired at Dothan, AL, USA in Jan-03 and was eventually broken up there in mid 2006.
