This fence was sitting out in a pature on the Olympic Peninsula last March and I just had to get a shot of it. You can see that it has been repaired by it's owner a number of times to keep it effectively performing its task.

Cherry Blossom. Washington, DC. USA. Mar/2016
A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら).
Cherry blossom is speculated to be native to the Himalayas.[4] Currently it is widely distributed, especially in the temperate zone of theNorthern Hemisphere including Europe, West Siberia, India, China, Japan, Korea, Canada, and the United States. The cherry blossom is considered the national flower of Japan.
Japan gave 3,020 cherry blossom trees as a gift to the United States in 1912 to celebrate the nations' then-growing friendship, replacing an earlier gift of 2000 trees which had to be destroyed due to disease in 1910. These trees were planted in Sakura Park in Manhattan and line the shore of the Tidal Basin and the roadway in East Potomac Park in Washington, D.C. The first two original trees were planted by first ladyHelen Taft and Viscountess Chinda on the bank of the Tidal Basin. The gift was renewed with another 3,800 trees in 1965.In Washington, D.C. the cherry blossom trees continue to be a popular tourist attraction (and the subject of the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival) when they reach full bloom in early spring
Todos os anos o Festival Nacional das Cerejeiras celebra a floração das cerejeiras dadas à cidade de Washington, em 1912, pelo prefeito de Tóquio. O presente foi uma homenagem do prefeito à longa história de amizade entre Estados Unidos e Japão. As cerejeiras floridas marcam a chegada da primavera na cidade e proporcionam uma das vistas mais apreciadas da região. Um dos lugares mais bonitos para observação é ao redor do Tidal Basin, espelho d’água no centro de Washington próximo ao Washington Monument, ao Lincoln Memorial, ao Jefferson Memorial e ao Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. O pico da florada é definido como o dia em que 70% das flores do Tidal Basin estão abertas
Houve a coordenação de muitas pessoas para assegurar a chegada das cerejeiras. Um primeiro lote de 2.000 árvores chegou doente em 1910, mas isso não impediu as partes envolvidas de envidarem todos os esforços para a concretização do intento. Entre os governos dos dois países, com as coordenações do Dr. Jokichi Takamine, um químico famoso mundialmente e fundador da Sankyo Co., Ltd. (hoje conhecida como Daiichi Sankyo), Dr. David Fairchild, do Departamento de Agricultura dos Estados Unidos, de Eliza Scidmore, primeiro membro da diretoria feminina da National Geographic Society e da primeira-dama Helen Herron Taft, mais de 3.000 árvores chegaram a Washington, D.C. em 1912. Em uma cerimônia simples, em 27 de março de 1912, a primeira-dama Helen Herron Taft e a Viscondessa Chinda, esposa do embaixador do Japão, plantaram as duas primeiras árvores do Japão na margem norte do Tidal Basin em West Potomac Park. Ao longo dos anos, os presentes foram trocados entre os dois países. Em 1915, o Governo dos Estados Unidos retribuiu com um presente de árvores chamadas “dogwood” (que também tem belas florações) para o povo do Japão. (tradução:nationalcherryblossom)

In the sadly defunct Ontario Place Forum (now replaced by the Molson Amphitheatre), a covered venue with a rotating stage and additional outdoor seating on the grassy hillsides surrounding it. John Mayall (featuring Coco Montoya on guitar) was excellent, Koko Taylor sounded like her voice had a few thousand too many miles on it, and Buddy Guy was just annoying, playing little snippets of rock songs here and there, laughing about how he was "better than all those guys", then launching into a blues tune instead.
His band appeared to be a white teenage garage band - technically ok, but completely soul-less. The pianist was an attractive young blonde girl wearing a floral print sundress and looking completely out of place. Buddy Guy neither introduced, interacted with, nor acknowledged his band (or the other acts).

"In 1507 Nicholas Wickham the parish priest left two marks towards making a new guildhall; the building was nearly complete in 1523.

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.

I didn't replace the camchain, but on the RS engine and of course the XL250/500S and all similar engines to replace the camchain you just need to remove the head cover, lock the tensioner, take out the camshaft and sprocket. At the bottom end clutch cover off, lock the clutch with a screwdriver blade wrapped in rag between the primary gear and the gear on the clutch basket, undo the big nut on the end of the crankshaft. Slide off the advancer and the primary gear, then ease out the oil gallery that goes through the camchain tunnel. All is clear then to drop the old chain through and then tie a wire or something to the new one, so that you can hold it while you drop it through the top of the tunnel, get it around that bottom sprocket and you're away. Assembly being the reverse of disassembly, as the saying goes.
Today was the funeral of the person I called my second mom. June Patience Jones was a remarkable woman who didn't let anything get her down. She had been in remission from breast cancer and had been for almost 12 years but in the end it was kidney cancer that finally removed such a remarkable character that no one will ever replace her.
R.I.P. June, you will be missed

The first generation Two Ten Series (or 210) was introduced in 1953 replacing the Style line Deluxe as Chevrolets midrange model. Placing it above the stark 150 and below the glitzy Bel Air.
The second generation Tri-Chevy era cars were introduced for the 1955 model year with a new chassis and the debut of the small block V8. The centre door frame was beefed up for more safety.[brakes were 11 inch drums The Two-Ten buyer was free to choose any powertrain option available. from a straight six of 235 cu in and V8s of 265 cu in and 283 cu in. This was not the first Chevrolet to be installed with a V8 engine. The first Chevrolet with a V8 engine was introduced in 1917 called the Series D which was built for two years, and was manufactured before Chevrolet joined General Motors. Models were available as a 4 door Sedan, 2 door Coupe 2 and 4 door Hardtops (1956) and 2 and 4 door Station Wagons.
The 1956 the body styling was refreshed, engine choices remained the same now rated with higher power output. The 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 was available in three versions. The I6 had a new unified build no matter the transmission.
For the final year 1957 saw the cars further updated and tail fins got higher new for 1957 was the optional 283 cu in (4.6 L) small-block V8 engine. There were three versions of this engine with conventional carburettors, as well as a fuel injected option.. The Two-Ten shared the wedge-shaped side trim with the Bel Air, but unlike the Bel Air (which had the wedge filled with an aluminium trim panel) the Two-Ten's wedge was painted either body colour, or top colour with the optional two-tone paint package. Chevrolet in script was mounted inside the wedge.
The Two-Ten was discontinued after the 1957 model year to be replaced by the Biscayne

Longridge won this game having dominated possession , and creating enough early chances to win 3 games, against a very well organised and hardworking Whitehaven side.
Town started strongly and should have scored at least the opening goal as the Whitehaven keeper saved well from Brad Carsley, McDonald crashed a volley against the bar, Carsley hit the post and McKenna was denied what looked a clear penalty by the referee on 20 minutes.
Chances came and went, as Longridge played their best football for several weeks without getting the breakthrough they deserved and the inconsistency of the referee, bizarrely chosen for this game despite his performance in Towns recent defeat to Garstang, hindered both sides.
Half time came at 0-0, but the Town faithful remained confident as Asheys side were dominating the game, and the vital first goal would surely come in the second half.
Carsley had a free kick well saved 10 minutes into the half, and Ged Smith had a decent penalty shout waved away a minute later.
Ashcroft then replaced Ryan McKenna on the hour as the Manager looked for the vital 3 points, going straight up front with Carsley, and Longridge looked more threatening immediately.
Dovey in the Town goal was having a quiet day, and remained untroubled, as Whitehaven sat deep and were quite content to defend their clean sheet, albeit they were doing it very well.
The goal came on 70 minutes as an inswinging Ged Smith corner looked destined to go straight in, before Carsley made sure with a deft flick of the head, to make it 1-0 to Longridge. No more than 'The Ridge' deserved and the feeling now amongst a celebrating home crowd of 108 was that Town would go on to add to their lead.
Jordan Bowen and Luke McKenna were having excellent games for Longridge, and kept the ball at will before finding Carsley wide right with just 5 minutes remaining. The powerful striker drove at the visiting defence before being brought down for Towns 3rd penalty shout of the game. He got himself to his feet to take the kick, but was thwarted as the young Whitehaven keeper made an excellent save diving to his right. Stil 1-0 to Longridge.
Both Jack Preston and youngster Elliot Breakell were brought on for cameo appearances, before the referee added six additional minutes to the dismay of the players, crowd, team Managers and Linesmen, the last of his bewildering decisions of the day.
The result was never put in doubt however, as Town kept possession and played out time to take the 3 points that keeps them at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division with just two games remaining.
In 2002 property developer Mirvac promised home buyers at Waverley Park that the 220 kV transmission line through the middle of the estate would be placed underground. However due to escalating costs this plan was abandoned in 2015, with the traditional steel lattice towers being replaced with smaller steel monopole structures in 2018.
We prepared the site plan and obtained the building permit. We handled all necessary inspections. We removed the existing concrete driveway. We removed all debris from the premises. We compacted all soil. We poured the new driveway with 4000 PSI concrete with fibermesh reinforcement. We hand troweled the concrete with a double broom finish. We cut all expansion joints accordingly.

From the mid 90's, the deck planking being put back in place. It had been removed, along with several internal partitions, before the ship was raised to reduce the weight.
As you'll know, the Ship itself is currently not on show, as the entire shiphall area is currently the building site for our new museum, due in 2012, but hopefully this photo, which we don't think has been shown in nearly 20 years, will give you an idea of what the Mary Rose looked like, and gets you ready to visit once our new museum is open!

So much has been said in praise of St Mary's church in the Redcliffe area of Bristol that it seems rather pointless trying to go into further detail here beyond saying that its repute is truly well deserved, this being the church that Elizabeth I called "the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England."
St Mary Redcliffe is a wonderfully complete vision of English late Decorated / early Perpendicular Gothic architecture which is broadly unified stylistically. The present building mainly dates from 1292-1370 and has a cathedral-like form and scale, fully cruciform with nave, choir and transepts flanked by aisles in each case and the church culminating in a Lady Chapel at the east end. The tower is at the north west corner and crowned by a tapering spire (truncated by a lightning strike in 1446 and only rebuilt in 1872) and a landmark for the surrounding area (visible as one arrives in Bristol by train as I did, being so close to the station). However the most dramatic architectural feature of the exterior is the unique two-storied hexagonal porch on the north side which is the main entrance to the church. This porch has much unusual ornament in its carved doorways and details and within is a joy to behold with its vaulted ceiling, a beautiful introduction to the church beyond.
Inside the nave the glory of the interior becomes clear, flooded with light from the many great aisle and clerestorey windows and crowned throughout by vaulted ceilings of a variety of beautiful designs, all studded with gilded roof bosses. It is a breathtaking interior to behold and a feast for the eyes. As one progresses further down the church through the aisles and transepts one encounters tombs and effigies to various medieval worthies of Bristol and whilst most of the medieval glass has disappeared beyond a few collected fragments (located in the chapel at the north west corner under the tower) there are some huge swathes of Victorian glass and some rather more rewarding postwar glass in the Lady Chapel adding a rich splash of colour at the far end of the building.
It is impossible to really do this architectural gem justice with words so I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. All I can add is that this is one of the loveliest buildings in the country and a masterpiece of English medieval art and architecture. It shouldn't be missed and is happily normally open to visitors on a daily basis.

Achievement Unlocked: Bought $750 suit to replace $500 suit bought in 1997. But the sleeves were ridiculously short -- I felt like a clown hiding my shame all through some interviews, as a hid my normal-shirt sleeves which were often sticking out as far as 6-8 inches. Not good. To their credit, after sending this picture, the company in Hong Kong paid a local tailor $35 to fix the problem. They even said they would pay up to $30, but when they saw the bill, paid $35 anyway. So, at least they were gracious about it. The suit is great. The guy who measured me was too incompetent to be flying across oceans just to measure people.
(These were Hong Kong tailors with a relationship with a VP of a partner comanpany of my company at the time, and were set up to come over and make a bunch of money selling expensive suits over here -- When you paid, you actually paid in Hong Kong dollars, so it was over $5000, haha.)
Also, not wanting to waste anything, I will point out: The piece of wood in the window was my boss's old desk. The blue carpet squares on the floor were from the floor of the office across from mine, thrown away after a remodel. I dumpster dove.
bad tailoring, expensive suit, short sleeves.
