The Lyme Bay lifeboat returns on New Year's Day from another successful, potentially life-saving expedition.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) operates around the coast of the UK 24/7, 365 days a year and last year rescued more than 8000 people (around 22/day).
The RNLI is a charity. It is not funded by any government. It survives entirely on donations by the public and the lifeboat crew work voluntarily any day or night.
This boat alone costs £125,000 and each uniform costs around £1,200.

The fire House wasn't a total loss. The demolition crew saved the 'bell tower' from the 'Old Firehouse'. It was placed outside the Hanford Carnegie Museum. There are plans to place a replica of the bell that once hung there, and which now resides at the more modern fire station on Grangeville Blvd.
We have 3 Tesco stores in Bexhill … aren't we lucky!! There is this big 24 hour one on the outskirts of town and 2 much smaller ones.
I'm not the biggest fan of Tesco and really don't like this big store. However, I am very impressed with our little local Tesco in Little Common, which I think is more like a Waitrose than a Tesco.
Note: The historic Life Saving Station was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. These photos are of all that remains.
What is now the Takanassee Beach Club was originally known as U.S. Life-Saving Station #5. It is a rare survivor from the era of frequent shipwrecks, when sand bars, shallow waters, and winter storms made the waters of New Jersey treacherous to the busy coastwise trade. In 1900 New Jersey contained 42 life saving stations situated three and a half miles apart between Sandy Hook and Cape May. From September to May their crews patrolled the beaches nightly looking for ships at peril. From this root the United States Coast Guard grew, but today only a few of the stations survive.
This property still has its three original buildings, and each, only moderately altered, is an architectural gem. The oldest, a handsome stick style building with prominent decorative trusses in each gable, was built in 1878-79 after a model designed for the 1876 Philadelphia centennial exhibition. The second building is shingle style, designed cica 1897 as living quarters for the life-saving crew. The third building from 1903 lies closest to the beach. It is a one-story, shingled boathouse with a tall square lookout tower facing the ocean. All three of the buildings are the only ones in New Jersey. No other location in the United States retains as many original Life-Saving Service buildings.
Deactivated by the Coast Guard in 1928, it subsequently became the Takanassee Beach Club. Today the former U.S. Life-Saving Station #5, is in need of rescue itself. What no northeaster or hurricane accomplished in 135 years, a developer’s bulldozer could soon achieve. The site is under threat of demolition for a proposed townhouse development, although the project is currently on hold pending environmental review. The prospective builder has only offered to move the buildings.
The buildings of Life-Saving Station #5 are irreplaceable survivors of an earlier at the shore. PNJ thinks preserving them at their original sites through some form of adaptive use should be the highest priority, to avoid losing these unique reminders of our maritime heritage.
Assemblyman Sean Kean organized a forum to discuss the future of the Beach Club property. Those interested in the preservation of the property are working with the Assemblyman to try and secure funds from various resources such as the Green Acres to be able to purchase the property.

.... one donation at a time.
150/365 - My gratitude journal: I am grateful for those who donate blood, I have never needed it, but my family has.
A perk for donating blood on company time ~ they give you 4 hours off PAID! I would donate regardless. This was my 19th time.
After the dogs got to "Chub Chub" I decided to remake him for Will. So far I got most of the pieces sepertated. We just need to find the new fabric for him.

It now seems once a year the slopes around Cape Town catch fire. It does destroy a lot of wildlife habitat. Olympus OM3ti - 100mm f2.8
So my bigass goldfish (named Fatass) was acting like a total spaz for a day or 2 and at first we thought he was prolly just up for removal from planet but I asked Bart to take some water to the pet store to get it tested and sure as shit the water had some crap in it or some shit.
Prolly shit. That goldfish is HUGE. He poops for days.
So anyway, this stuff is sposed to clear up the shit and Fatass has been much less of a spaz, so yay!
Good thing, cuz there's no WAY he'd flush down the toilet.

There were plenty of free give-aways from U.S. Army Reserve Command directorates such as Safety and Family Programs during the command's 105th anniversary celebration at Fort Bragg, N.C., April 23, 2013. Created in 1908 as the Medical Reserve Corps, today's Army Reserve is a key complimentary operational force that supports the entire United States. The Army Reserve consists of more than 200,000 “Citizen-Soldiers”, and approximately 11,900 of those Soldiers are currently deployed around the world, providing life-saving and life-sustaining capabilities for Joint Force operations.
