I’ve been meaning to replace the wrist joints on my Super Action Jenny body since I really dislike the hinge joints’ aesthetic since theyre clunky as heck but I’ve never been able to find replacement hands for all the years I’ve owned this body since the skin tone was super peachy and such.
I was gonna redonate the 2013 Bratz doll I had but I noticed the skin tone was really peachy as well and the hand was sculpted really similar to the SAJ body as well having the wrist joint being a similar length lol.
So yeah, I cut off the hinged wrists and shoved the Bratz heads into them so now I’m happy with the body…

The kids went out and found this. Given the 8 days of over 90 temps I’m amazed that there were any available but the big box stores are getting ready for our tax free weekend in MA, so it was propitious. This is not the make and model they’d gone out in search of but it it’s gotta be better than Mr Leaky.
A gas-powered double-decker will join the UK market in late 2015, Scania has announced.
from www.route-one.net/industry/scania-announces-gas-powered-d...
Speaking at the launch of Reading Buses’ CNG fuelling station, Alan Martin, Manager Special Products – Fleet Sales, says work in conjunction with Alexander Dennis is well underway, with the demonstrator to carry an Enviro400 MMC body.
The gas ‘decker will be powered by the same Euro 6 nine-litre engine already in service in 23 single-deck K270UBs with Stagecoach in Sunderland. Mark Oliver, UK Bus and Coach Fleet Sales General Manager explains that this engine does not require SCR and lacks a variable-geometry turbo, making it less complicated than the diesel unit it has been developed from.
Mr Oliver adds that while there will be a slight penalty in the number of standing passengers which may be carried compared to a diesel double-decker, seating capacity will remain the same. “Operators will be pleasantly surprised by the capacity,” he says, adding that the gas tanks will not be sited within the passenger saloons, although their exact location has not yet been disclosed.
“Our big offering for Euro 6 is gas, in both single- and double-deckers,” says Mr Oliver. “To train an engineer familiar with Scania’s diesel engines to be familiar with gas power units takes just two days.”
Scania will also offer a diesel double-deck chassis at Euro 6, powered by a 250bhp nine-litre engine. This is the same unit which will be used in the Irizar i2 and i3 single-deck buses built on Scania chassis, with Mr Oliver stressing that despite earlier reports suggesting a Cummins unit was to be fitted, Scania’s own nine-litre engine is to be used in both.

Finally after much hunting and searching I have got some replacements for my favourite trainers. The originals stared earlier in the 365 and not long after that got filled with petrol when the nozzle didn't click off in the petrol station. Ever since then I have been on the look out for a pair. Then finally Lisa found them... She is now kicking herself because instead of keeping it to herself and getting me them for Christmas, in her excitement in finding them she blurted it out and so ruined the surprise.

10 years went by, my older brother came back. But no longer a brother. A Warrior, he acted tough, he was tough, and didn't even flinch anymore. He came not just with strength and courage but with bad news saying that for 10 years dad was dead. He said before he left he knew, just didn't have the guts to say in front of his 8 year old younger brother. So instead he waits until I'm eighteen. As if that will solve anything anymore. But instead of raging on my older brother I acted tuff about it. Oh and by the way this tuff means cool. Back then me and my brother said it all the time. Anyways back to the story. He was surprised we still had a house but even more. I had gained a lot of wealth since he left. Wasn't a surprise for me since I graduated when I was fifteen. He again left two days later from a call that the covenant had stolen a new technological vehicle called a scorpion or something like that. Anyways, he said that I needed to get ready to go, because he said The UNSC needed me for there spartan program or something along those lines. I was always fond of the idea fighting with the UNSC. But never actually figure I would join it. But in that time I found something I never though would be here......
After nearly two years, construction of a replacement Whataburger restaurant is getting underway. The Whataburger building that previously occupied this site was severely damaged by a tornado on August 6, 2017 and was demolished on August 15, 2017. The restaurant was open and serving customers at the time that the tornado hit. The twenty-story building in the left background, Remington Tower, was also seriously damaged. Unfit for occupancy, its future is uncertain. Meanwhile, it stands tall as an eyesore and an example of what can happen when a tornado hits a high-rise.
The Whataburger building that previously stood here started out as a Burger Chef. When it was converted to Whataburger, an A-frame was added to give the building a signature Whataburger appearance.
UPDATE: The replacement Whataburger opened on this site at 3:00 PM on July 29, 2019. At the time of opening, it became the largest Whataburger in Oklahoma.

Dating back to 1870, the New Presque Isle Lighthouse was built when it was decided to put up an entirely new structure rather then update the original light from 1840. The lantern room was equipped with a third order Fresnel Lens which was pulled in 2003, refurbished and placed in the museum in 2012.
On Monday 28th December First Solent Trdent 33141, on loan to First Berkshire, departs from Slough with a non-stop rail replacement journey to Hillingdon Underground, where it will connect with Metropolitan Line services to Central London.
****************************************
On Sunday 27th and Monday 28th December 2015 the railway was completely closed between Slough and London Paddington to allow various Crossrail-related works to take place.
Long-distance services were curtailed at Reading or diverted into London Paddington and London Marylebone, whilst a limited half-hourly shuttle train service was operated between Reading and Slough. A half-hourly rail replacement bus service operated between Slough and Ealing Broadway, using RATP London United Darts, Enviro200s and Optare Versas supplemented by coaches from a number of local operators - the route was single-decked because of the low bridge at Langley Station (this was supplemented by additional 'shorts' between Hayes & Harlington and Ealing Broadway, some of which were double-decked). A half-hourly service was also operated between Slough and Maidenhead to serve Burnham and Taplow, which could not be served by trains. This was nominally a separate service but was worked in practice as an extension of the Slough-Ealing Broadway service with buses pausing at Slough for several minutes.
An alternative service was provided between Slough and Hillingdon Underground non-stop for Metropolitan Line connections to Baker Street; this also ran half-hourly this was operated by First Berkshire using Tridents and a Green Line Volvo.
As well as the dedicated rail replacement buses rail tickets were widely accepted on alternative rail, Underground and bus routes in Slough and West London, and the 81 in particular was carrying good loads between Slough and Hounslow West.
For completeness, on both days Reading Buses and Horseman Coaches also operated rail replacement buses between Maidenhead and Marlow, extended to High Wycombe to connect with Chiltern Railways services to and from London Marylebone.

For clarification: the competition was ONLY for the memorial, not for the replacement of the towers. The 'pink' crystaline structures around the edge were part of Daniel Liebeskinds original design. He dictated that the open pit was the area for the memorial.
My contribution is only the cable-veil with the names and everything below it.

One of the most precious commodities which New York City has, and which is being offered by the builders of the World Trade Center for this memorial, is open space. Could this space remain just that?-- space that cannot be occupied by buildings or pedestrians, free from the pressure and pace of everyday life in New York City, an oasis of stillness and peace? I would like to give the victims of the February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks their own plaza, at street level, which would always be empty and could never be trod upon by another person, symbolizing both the vacancy caused by the victims’ suddenly ended lives and the immediate and lasting precariousness the attacks created for America and the world.
The new Plaza is formed by closely spaced thin cables that span the entire memorial site--with the exception of the two World Trade Center tower footprints--starting at the edge of and continuing the plane of the sidewalk which surrounds it. Together with sunken areas on the lower level, the towers’ earlier envelopes are recalled in three-dimensional forms created by defined voids, and free from any built vertical elements.
The names of all of the victims are formed by individual 6-inch letters of aluminum or carbon, threaded between the cables and grouped together alphabetically, according to the year and place of their deaths. The letters are hung horizontally, facing down, so that they can only be read from below.
Approaching the memorial, the viewer will see only a large, empty, unoccupied plaza at street level, the cables and the names forming a relatively closed plane when viewed from a distance. As the viewer moves closer to the site and around it, the plane becomes more transparent as the angle of view becomes more vertical, and the lower level becomes more visible. For the viewer who remains at plaza level, the groups of names are purely a simple graphic symbol, emphasizing the total loss of life from the attacks. As the viewer walks down a ramp, however, the single names begin to become visible, now emerging out of the groups, emphasizing the individual loss of life.
The individual names can only be viewed by looking up --an act that was common here especially before and during the attacks, and the city can now only be seen through this veil of names. They are omnipresent. Each section of building, cloud, and tree is embossed with names. The way one sees the world has changed because these people died.
This diaphanous veil of names also allows visitors to the lower memorial area to be alone with their thoughts, offering as it does a protective screen, subtly separating the viewers at street-level from those below.
The impact which the memorial exerts on the viewer thus deepens, moving from a sense of corporate loss to include individual human grief as well, as the viewer physically descends into the space once occupied by the lower levels of the World Trade Center towers, now laid open to the sky.
On the lower level is a large bas-relief map of the world, our common home. This map speaks of our essential oneness, and of the sense of responsibility to the entire world which must underlie our daily actions. It is also a teaching tool, both showing visitors the 92 countries from which the victims came, and documenting the political boundaries existing at the time of the attacks. The map is bronze, and these 92 countries are distinguished by a different surface treatment. Visitors can walk over the map and place flowers, pictures and other mementoes on the places of the world where the victims originated. Over time, these places will become polished and worn, a change testifying to their uniqueness. As the boundaries of the map are slightly raised, visitors can sit along the edges. The orientation of the map corresponds to the true compass points. The names are also on this true east-west axis, so that while reading the names one looks due north, and not into the sun.
The relationship between the world map and the names overhead is complex. The tension under which the attacks put the world, as well as the shadow which was cast over the life which we knew, are literally translated by the tensioned cables above and the names that cast a shadow on the world below. The cables themselves are anchored into the sidewalk level upon which the viewers at street level stand, stressing the role of the city in upholding the memory and honor of those who died and helped. The living city thus forms the foundation for the memorial.
The lower memorial area is variously raised approximately 3-6 feet above the concrete pad to allow for plantings and different surface treatments. The footprints of the two towers are outlined by linear pools of water, an element symbolizing life and renewal. One crosses the pools into the interior space of the footprints via flat bridges or by walking over the areas of the map which extend into the southern footprint. These points can be utilized for a controlled access, when deemed necessary. Located in the northern footprint is a mausoleum within a sunken area which one reaches via a series of descending stepped levels, or along a pair of ramps bordered by 7 winter-hardy almond trees (Prunus dulcis). Almond trees are the first trees to bloom after winter, symbolizing vigilance and giving hope. The mausoleum opens on to a larger, secluded area where ceremonies can be held. The elliptical form of the mausoleum is a universal symbol of fall and renewal. Visitors can go here to be alone, protected from the weather by the building above, and shielded by wall planes from other visitors as well as pedestrians on the sidewalk above or underground passageway adjourning.
The Liberty Wall is covered by a variety of climbing plants which bloom at various times in the year (clematis, honeysuckle, roses, wisteria) and whose color changes brilliantly in the fall (Virginia Creeper). During the winter, the vines will be bare, showing the cycle of life, and encouraging one to look towards the future.
The primary floor in the lower memorial area is made of parallel rows of locally quarried cut slate, a beautiful, noble, sedimentary material that was once plant life, whereas the floors of the footprints consist of crushed slate.
The individual cables, running parallel to each other over a length of maximum 350’, are pre-stressed to a very high degree such that the sag due to their dead-weight and the weight of the letters is minimized to less than 15’’. The letters are supported by the two neighboring cables.
The cables are preferably stressed from one end, either by a turnbuckle or hydraulic jack, which guarantees that forces and geometry of the cables can be exactly installed. The cables should be designed so that they will be nearly maintenance-free; therefore the cross-section will be built of stainless steel, alternatively of carbon, aramid or any other high-strength synthetic fibers. The technically required minimum cable diameter will be only in the order of 3/8’’ to 7/16’’.
Along the edges of the footprints, the cable forces are collected by filigree steel trusses in order to keep the interior area ‘open’. Only a few thicker cables, arranged in a rectangular grid of 20’ by 20’ inside the trusses, balance the collected forces between the outlying footprint edges.
This memorial remembers all of the victims of the terrorist attacks equally. At the same time, it recognizes the varying perspectives of those who will visit the memorial, and seeks to respond to their different needs. The remembrance of those who died, and of these tragic events, becomes an impetus, as visitors move freely across the map’s national boundaries, to embrace our one humanity, to draw comfort and strength from widely shared symbols of renewal, and, again and again, to look up, in a universal act of longing and hope.
