WOKit™ - Carabiner multi-tool "CARRY SMART and WITH STYLE"
Why we make WOKit™
In general, cyclists and other outdoor sports enthusiasts require tools that are slim and small, easy to carry. Due to the small size of some tools, performance is severely limited. In the most ideal situation, household tools are best to use, but because weight is of upmost importance to cyclists, WOHO has decided to make a compact and effective carabiner tool. WOHO has their customers in mind and has designed a tool that allows cycling travelers faced with disassembling wheel sets, handle stems, and saddles all fit right on their belt loop. Boarding an airplane or a train with your bicycle has never been so easy.
To make the life of the cyclist and outdoor sports enthusiasts more convenient, WOHO has taken advantage of the carabiner feature. The patented design securely locks the wrench to the tool body, and can be easily tightened or loosened. It solves emergency situations that sports enthusiasts may be faced against.
MULTIPLE, PORTABLE AND USE IT ANYWHERE! ANYTIME!
WOKit™ - The carabiner multi-tool includes a rotating ratchet, coupled with 9 different sized hex tool heads, allowing more functionality. The most important feature of the tool is the beer bottle opener arranged on the top of the carabiner.
The head tool piece is a 15mm wrench which can easily remove pedals or hubs. In the middle there are 5/ 8 / 10mm enclosed hex wrenches, and on the end of the pieces there are two kinds of surfaces (14 / 15g spoke wrench). The tool also has a laser engraved metric scale.
WOKit™ - Carabiner multi-tool is a revolutionary design!
The patented design securely locks the wrench to the carabiner body, so the carabiner body becomes an extended handle. A compact bicycle tool that features 18 commonly used tools. It is the only tool in its class to include a high-leverage 15 mm wrench for axle nuts and pedals.

The Air Force Marathon requires 2,300 volunteers for a successful race. From working in the warehouse before the race to hydration stations to expo help, volunteers work a huge variety of jobs during the Air Force Marathon events. The 2013 Air Force Marathon was held on September 21, 2013. The Sports & Fitness Expo was September 19-20, 2013.
I remade the box to have the required age group for Mr. Potato heads which is ages 3 and up and add a choking hazard warning label on the box. As one of my collaborations I am getting rid of the bad recommendations like 2 and up on Mr. Potato heads because I know kids have to be at least 3 years old in order to play with a Mr. Potato Head or Mrs. Potato Heads because of the small pieces that come on and off of Mr. Potato heads. Just like that kids have to be at least 3 years old in order to use regular sized crayons since they break easy and pose a choking hazard like buttons where as jumbo crayons don't break easy. Children under 3 years old are forbidden to play with Mr. Potato heads and Mrs. Potato Heads and children under 3 years old are also required to use jumbo crayons for safety. And there is a line from the Original Toy Story where Mr. Potato Head states that Mr. Potato Heads are required for ages 3 and up for safety so I am right about that line from Toy Story.

Basildon Park
Basildon Park estate was bought by Francis Sykes in 1771.
Sykes had made his fortune in the East India Company and required a home befitting his status. He demolished the original house and employed architect John Carr to build the mansion that survives to this day.
The Sykes family owned the house until 1838.
The Morrison family owned Basildon Park from 1838 to 1928. It was originally bought by Liberal MP James Morrison who passed it to his eldest son Charles. On his death it was inherited by his sister Ellen who died just seven months later, leaving it to her nephew Major James Archibald Morrison.
During the Second World War, the estate was requisitioned. It served several purposes including being used by the 101st Airborne Division of the American Army for D-Day training, and later as a prisoner-of-war camp for German and Italian soldiers. This was all vital to the war effort but inevitably resulted in severe damage to the house and estate.
In 1952 Lord and Lady Iliffe bought the semi-ruined Basildon Park.
The couple set about restoring the house sensitively to its former glory, with the addition of modern-day comforts such as central heating, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms.
They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country searching for 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings to fill their comfortable new home.
The fine paintings, fabrics and furniture they bought can still be enjoyed by visitors today.
The house and gardens have been featured in several Film and TV drama productions including Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton, Downtown Abbey, The Gentlemen and The Crown.
Lord and Lady Iliffe gifted the house, together with 400 acres of parkland, to the National Trust in 1978.

"One day that Tom Walker had been to a distant part of the neighborhood, he took what he considered a short cut homeward, through the swamp. Like most short cuts, it was an ill-chosen route. The swamp was thickly grown with great gloomy pines and hemlocks, some of them ninety feet high, which made it dark at noonday, and a retreat for all the owls of the neighborhood. It was full of pits and quagmires, partly covered with weeds and mosses, where the green surface often betrayed the traveller into a gulf of black, smothering mud: there
were also dark and stagnant pools, the abodes of the tadpole, the bull-frog, and the water-snake; where the trunks of pines and hemlocks lay half-drowned, half-rotting, looking like alligators sleeping in the mire."

The last five months (May-September 2023) required me to move a lot for a variety of professional and personal reasons. It was the first time in several years that I entered airplanes without carrying my DSLR camera. This resulted in me tinkering and thinking with my mobile phone camera, surpassing my snobbish attitude towards it as means of photographic expression. Visiting an old favourite antique store of mine, I was exposed to wallet-sized black and white pictures, very fashionable in the 1920s-1960s. Phenomenologically, I thought, these little pictures carried significance similar to the one carried by the myriads of photos nowadays stored on mobile phones. I tried to combine the sensory experience of black and white with the ease of mobile phone shooting, itself resembling certain types of pinhole cameras. Themes are the same as in my earlier photography: decayed and rusty patterns of disintegration, emptiness of spaces, outlier figures of the everyday, street signs and letters, nonhuman friends, naturecultures, and psychopolitically haunted scenes. Places include: Canada (Toronto), Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Alonnisos, Aghia, Larissa, Eleftheroupoli, Kavala), Scotland (Edinburgh), England (Manchester), France (Paris), Belgium (Brussels).
[Update] I have continued collecting such images throughout 2024. New places visited: Dublin, Rotterdam, Glasgow, Copenhagen, London, Stirling, Peebles, Amsterdam, Dundee, Madrid.

I love the Angkor complex, Siem Reap, and the Cambodian people so much that I returned again for about a week to photograph as much of the “non-major” sites as I could. Some of them are slightly far from Angkor Wat (by that, I mean to say more than 10 kilometers away), and usually require a little more money to get to. Also, some of the sites (Beng Mealea, Phnom Kulen) are not included in the Angkor ticket price and have an additional admission fee.
I don’t know if there’s a set number of how many sites belong in the Angkor complex, though I’m sure it would vary. (Do you only count the major sites like Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm? Do you add the sites that aren’t included in the standard “Angkor Pass,” but are clearly of the same era? Do you include sites that aren’t even named (as are one of the sites in this series)? All in all, I’ll put a very rough number at…50 sites in the Siem Reap area, and that includes the sites that are about 100 km away. Of those, I would say I’ve been to all but 5-10 now. All are included here with the exception, obviously, of the sites that I didn’t visit. (Off the top of my head, I can say they include Koh Ker & that respective group, which is about 120 km ENE of Siem Reap; Phnom Krom, one of the three “mountains” with temples; Ta Prohm Kel; and Mangalartha.)
In practical terms, I’m afraid that with the volume of shooting (about 1,500 frames in the past 7 days), photos will start to look redundant to those who don’t have the same interest in ancient/historical architecture or Angkor as I do. That being said, there are a few things besides temples here. The Old Market area (now Night Market/Pub Street) is represented – a little – and Phnom Kulen has a pretty nice waterfall which is also in this series. Also, I tried to catch a few people in here, though didn’t get as many as I would’ve liked.
I had my friend Mao (tuktuk driver) take me around for 5 of these 7 days this time around. As I mentioned last time, he may cost a little more than what you can arrange through a hotel/guesthouse, but he’s well worth the money (and, in the grand scheme of things, not too expensive; I paid less than $200 for the five days, two of which were “long” trips). He loves his country and heritage, he knows what he’s showing you, he’s flexible, he gives you enough ice water to keep you hydrated, and he’s just a good guy. (He even bought me a birthday cake for cryin’ out loud…) Anyway, I highly recommend Mao. You can find him here: www.facebook.com/mao.khvan (or on Trip Advisor: www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g297390-d10726821-R... )
Now that shameless plugs and other assorted rhetoric are out of the way, it’s time to get on to the temples, ruins, and other miscellany.
The third full day back in Siem Reap was just revisiting sites that we’d seen in May. It started, for the second day in a row, sometime before five in the morning to go see a sunrise-that-wasn’t. (If I thought yesterday’s at Sra Srang was a stretch to call it good, then today’s was…well…it wasn’t. I didn’t even bother taking the cameras or tripod out.)
This trip around the small circuit was almost identical to the one we did in May. As such, I didn’t actually get out and shoot at every single stop this time like I did last time. The sunrise started at the exact same spot outside the Angkor Wat western gate. However, instead of touring the grounds briefly as we did in May, we actually left quite early from Angkor Wat to head over in caravan (three tuktuks, as today happened to be with a group of eight other people) to Ta Prohm around 7:00, after eating breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
While at Ta Prohm, I wandered around on my own (which I tried to do whenever possible while Mao was entertaining the group) for about an hour. I regretted having left my tripod in the tuktuk (as I did in May, too; it seems idiots never learn). However, I got out the P&S and managed to shoot quite a few of the apsaras, at least.
From Ta Prohm, we crossed the street due south to Banteay Kdei, where I passed on shooting. It’s not a major temple and I shot it fairly well in May. The only difference this time is, instead of coming in the east gate next to Sra Srang, they went in the west gate due south of Ta Prohm’s east gate. After a bout of restlessness, I did eventually get out and shot one or two frames of the west gate just as they were finishing up.
Next up was Ta Keo, one of the “mountain temples,” which we’d also seen in May. In May, however, it was close to 40 degrees Celsius with a blazing sun and I didn’t feel like climbing the rather steep stairs to the upper level. So, I intentionally did that immediately upon returning here this time. The view from the top isn’t terribly stunning. Just trees in most every direction, though you’re around the level of the treetops. Climbing down while lugging a tripod and camera gear was a bit challenging, though – especially since I’m not as spry as I once was. (For that reason alone, and knowing how steep the climb – albeit short – and how narrow the steps are on the upper mount, I intentionally abandoned the group to get a head start.)
The next two stops – Thommanon & Chao Say Tevoda, followed by the Victory Gate – I skipped, as I knew they were very quick stops and, like May, I’d already catalogued them. The next major stop was Bayon where, again, I abandoned everyone and took the tripod to go around the outer wall shooting the murals as much as I could in an hour. By the time we finished, we headed back to the same restaurant where we had breakfast (though I was quite unimpressed; I definitely prefer Khmer Country Kitchen on the north side of Sra Srang) and we passed an hour or so eating. Around 1:45, we went back across the street to Angkor Wat, but most of the group – keep in mind, these are people 10-20 years younger than I and in much better shape – were complaining about fatigue and just wanted to go to their hotel pools or other restaurants in town. So…after a very quick run through Angkor Wat, we finally wrapped up the day around 3:00.
Heading back to My Home Tropical Garden Villa (my home away from home in Siem Reap), I grabbed a shower, rested up, and spent yet another night around the Old Market. At least Friday (my 43rd birthday) and Saturday, Mao didn’t take any customers just to make sure I could go anywhere and see anything I wanted. Though today wasn’t a bust by any means, I was definitely looking forward to Friday and Saturday.
As always, I hope you enjoy this set. I appreciate you taking time to look. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message or leave it via comment.

Some college project or other required me to raid my local synagogue for antiquities and make a nice picture that could go on a book, hence the black space to the left that might contain some waffle suited to such a book. This image was taken on a 5x4 camera.
