This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes, and has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. It is an Amber List species because of its historical decline.

Save Historic Olvera Street
Save the St. from commerical interests ?
the rental rates of the small stalls have increased dramatically on a bad economy so much that
small vendors are unable to make a profit selling on this
historic street. seems to be a message to small vendors to get out so commerical interests can come in.....maybe Starbucks, Taco Bell, and a Mcdonalds, ??instead of the local taco stand ?
Big Busine$$ against Small Business who wins ?
Trouble in paradise. This woodcut created by artist Gillyin Gatto is a protest poster against a proposed LNG terminal that is threatening Passamaquoddy Bay. This terminal will mean that huge LNG (liquified natural gas ) tankers would enter Passamaquoddy Bay through a channel between two Canadian islands, Campobello and Deer Island. They will the have to take a right hand turn passing near the "Old Sow" one of the worlds largest whirlpools before getting to the proposed terminal at the Passamaquodddy Reservtion across from Deer Island. These tankers would be escorted by gunships in case of terrorism. No ship can operate within 1000 yards of these tankers while in transit. The terminals will be lit up 24 hours a day within sight of St Andrews New Brunswick a very popular tourist resort. Fishing and all tourist boat traffic will have to cease during the tankers transit. Life as we know it will drastically change downeast. The LNG proponents are offering big $ to the towns and the Passamaquody Tribes to get this to pass. it has turned neighbor against neighbor in the hopes of jobs and tax breaks. The biggest hope we in Maine have that they won't be able to build these terminals in such a dangerous place, is that the Canadian Government has said it won't allow these tankers to pass through Head Harbour Channel. the LNG proponents argue that it is international waters. Canada was instrumental in stopping a Pittston oil refinery from being built in this area in the late 70's and we can only hope that they can help us win this fight,too.

RARE abandoned Mazda T2000 pickup truck at a scrapyard at Shek Kong, Hong Kong. It costs HKD$ 65,000. I hope someone would rescue it and restore it back to former glory. It's very heart-brokening to see a classic automobile being put outside rusting. She deserve a better life than sitting there.
When you grow up, the box in good condition will be worth far more than your Dinky toy that has numerous dents.
Fold down the box and place it in the middle of the book "Children's Encyclopedia" adults will see you keep this book for your entire childhood, and not thrown it away with your copies of your Beano and Dandy annuals for 1964, 1965, 1966 etc which look a bit tatty due to you reading them quite often.

St Materiana's Church, Tintagel, Photograph by James Russiello, September 5, 2010
The Parish Church of Saint Materiana at Tintagel is a Church of England church in Cornwall, England, UK. It stands on the cliffs between Trevena and Tintagel Castle and is listed Grade I.
The first church on the site was probably in the 6th century, founded as a daughter church of Minster: these are the only churches dedicated to the saint, though she is usually identified with Madryn, Princess of Gwent.
Present building
The existing church may have been created in the late 11th or early 12th century. Art historian Nikolaus Pevsner (writing in 1950) suggested that its Norman-era design includes some Saxon features, while the tower may be 13th or 15th century in date. The most significant change in its design was the restoration in 1870 by Piers St Aubyn which included a new roof. Later changes include moving the pipe organ (twice) and a number of new stained glass windows: many of these portray saints, including St Materiana, St George and St Piran. There are three modern copies of Old Master paintings, and a Roman milestone bearing the name of the Emperor Licinius (d. 324). The tower has a peal of six bells, ranging in date from 1735 to 1945. As of 2016 an electric organ is used instead of the pipe organ.
Nave
Both north and south doorways are Norman, the north cruder and perhaps earlier than the south. The north porch is probably 14th century and the south porch a later rebuilding of a 13th-century porch. The font is Norman, rather crudely carved in elvan: each of the four faces is carved with snakes and each corner with a head. Three of the windows are Norman: the largest of the others portrays St George. The walls of the central tower space (between the transepts) were planned to support a tower but this was either never built or afterwards removed as unsafe. The stone coffin lid may commemorate a priest and is of the late 13th century.
Chancel

Tintagel church and churchyard, from the east
The rood screen (which would have had access to the loft on the south side) is of the 15th century but the canopy has been removed, probably at the Reformation. The recess in the south wall is known as the Founder's Tomb and is probably of the 14th century. The east window which is recent is a memorial to Fr. Canner, vicar 1950-1976. On the north wall is a statue of the patron saint in memory of Parson Chapman, vicar 1894-1916. The chapel on the north side of the chancel is the old Lady Chapel, which is very hard to date: though it must be later than the chancel it contains a mediaeval stone altar. The recess on the north side was formerly the site of the organ but has more recently been used as a vestry.
Transepts
The altar in the north transept is modern and was originally dedicated to All Saints but it is now generally known by the name of St Symphorian from the window behind it. Symphorian, contrary to tradition, is portrayed as a bishop, and his supposed connection with this area seems to be a mistake made by John Leland in writing about the churches of Forrabury and Tintagel. The north window commemorates John Douglas Cook, editor of the Saturday Review, who is buried in the churchyard nearby.
The Roman inscribed stone in the south transept
The south transept is somewhat longer than the north and may have been lengthened to contain a tomb. A stone bench runs round part of the walls from the time when no other seating was provided in churches. The Roman inscribed stone is of the early 4th century and was found built into the western gateway of the churchyard in 1889. The memorial brass is for Joan (d. 1430s?), mother of John Kelly who was vicar here 1407-1427 and afterwards dean of Crantock. Originally placed under the altar, it was moved to the end of the transept in 1871.
Tower[edit]

The ancient Saint Materianas's church and graveyard in Cornwall
The tower at the west end was built in the 14th century and battlements were added in the 15th. The five older bells are dated 1735, 1785, 1828, and two 1868: the sixth was added in 1945. The tenor bell weighs 7-0-10. The west window has modern armorial stained glass depicting coats of arms connected with the history of this parish.
Churchyard
This is unusually large for a churchyard in Cornwall though it has apparently been extended three times. To the east of the older part (which is approximately circular in shape) are areas which came into use probably in the early 19th and mid-20th centuries. The north-east part was previously part of the Trecarne Lands. The churchyard cross and the war memorial are both modern and formed of granite. All the pre-Victorian gravestones are of local slate: the earliest of them are between 1690 and 1710. There were excavations here in 1990 and 1991 (north-west of the church).
The most interesting memorials are the tomb of John Douglas Cook, founder editor of the Saturday Review (d. 1868) north-west of the church, and the wooden cross over the grave of Domenico Catanese (d. 1893) to the east. (On December 20, 1893 at Lye Rock the barque Iota was driven against the cliff. The crew were able to get onto the rock and apart from a youth of 14 were saved: his grave is marked by a wooden cross (the name is given in the official Italian usage, surname first: Catanese Domenico, on a lifebuoy).
The jacket illustration for J. L. Carr's A Month in the Country shows Tintagel Parish Church whereas the story is set in Yorkshire. The grave outside the churchyard wall was suggested by Tintagel where a number of early graves were encountered in ploughing Trecarne Lands and excavated in 1956. They were dated most probably between 500 and 1000 AD by the county archaeologist.

What on Earth possessed me to take a manual focus lens to the beach this morning?
It was blowing a gale, which made my eyes stream, and I could hardly see, let alone look through a view finder and focus on something. But at least I'd tied my hair up :))
The lens is a Lensbaby Burnside 35 and the blurb says set it to f2.8 with your subject 3 feet away and the background then 12 feet away, and you'll get a perfect shot ... yeah, right.
February 18th 1967 and Bristol Omnibus 8008, a 1951 Bristol KS6B with an eight foot wide ECW 60-seat body (note the overhang between the front wheel track and the mudguard), is photographed climbing Park Street, Bristol, having recently left the Tramways Centre and heading out to Cribbs Causeway in the west of the city - now a huge out of town retail development, but then a small rank of houses on the outskirts of the city. Within a few yards the driver would probably have needed to change down a cog as he approached the junction with Park Row and the University and Museum buildings.
The bus was withdrawn a little later in the year and kept by the company for inclusion in a possible museum: however, ten years later it was sold for scrap.
