We are now 2 months away until the end of the S23 schedule which has been one of the busiest post-COVID, and airlines are currently in the process of finalising their upcoming flight schedules for the W23 schedule. The 3 major carriers based in the United States are amongst recent airlines to have updated their schedules prior to their implementation on 28th October 2023; naturally the winter schedule usually sees a drop off in operating capacity and altered aircraft allocation.
For American Airlines, they continue to provide a large presence at London Heathrow along with their joint-venture partner, British Airways. and are earmarked to provide 21 daily flights each day. For the W23 schedule which is to commence from 28th October 2023, American Airlines are expected to operate the following:
-Boston-Logan: Continues to operate daily (AA108/109) utilising Boeing 777-200ERs, albeit will be suspended from 21st February 2024 to 27th February 2024.
-Charlotte-Douglas: Continues to operate thrice-daily (AA730/731, AA732/733 and AA734/735) utilising Boeing 777-200ERs, except during 20th November 2023 to 24th November 2023 and during 25th January 2024 to 31st January 2024 where its reduced to twice-daily.
-Chicago-O'Hare: Continues to operate twice-daily (AA90/87 and AA86/91) utilising Boeing 787-9s.
-Dallas-Fort Worth: Continues to operate thrice-daily with AA20/51 and AA50/79 utilising Boeing 777-300ERs, whilst AA78/21 utilising Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Los Angeles: Commencing 29th October 2023, thrice-daily flights maintained except between 22nd January 2024 to 28th January 2024 and between 8th February 2024 to 14th February 2024 where it will be reduced to twice-daily. AA136/135 and AA138/139 utilises Boeing 777-200ERs, whilst AA134/137 utilises Boeing 777-300ERs.
-Miami: Operates twice-daily except between 15th January 2024 to 21st January 2024, and between 10th February 2024 to 15th February 2024 where it reduces to a single daily flight. AA56/39 utilises Boeing 777-300ERs whilst AA38/57 utilises Boeing 777-200ERs.
-New York-John F. Kennedy: Typically will operate thrice-daily, except between 8th January 2024 to 14th February 2024 which will increase to 4-times daily. AA100/101 and AA106/105 will utilise Boeing 777-300ERs, AA104/107 will also utilises Boeing 777-300ERs except between 8th January 2024 to 29th March 2024 where it will convert to Boeing 777-200ERs, and AA142/141 will utilise Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Philadelphia: Operate a single daily flight with AA728/729 utilising Boeing 787-9s.
-Phoenix-Sky Harbor: Operates a single daily flight with AA194/195 utilising Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Raleigh-Durham: Operates a single daily flight with AA174/175 utilising Boeing 777-200ERs.
-Seattle-Tacoma: Single daily flight cancelled, which is expected to return for the S24 schedule.
Other than the fluctuating frequencies between much of their flights as well as the temporary cancellation of their Seattle-Tacoma operations for the W23 season, Boeing 777-200ER/300ERs and Boeing 787-9s continue to provide the long-haul flights into London Heathrow. For American Airlines, the carrier is expected to take delivery of their second batch of Boeing 787-9s which are expected to feature a more premium-heavy layout which are expected to oust the elderly Boeing 777-200ERs.
Currently, American Airlines operates 59 Boeing 787s, which includes 37 Boeing 787-8s and 22 Boeing 787-9s. American Airlines have 30 Boeing 787-9s on-order.
November Eight Three Zero Alpha November is one of 22 Boeing 787-9s operated by American Airlines, delivered new to the carrier on 1st September 2017 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GEnx-1B74 engines.

The day of the visit to Dartmouth in South Devon was quite busy as the town was getting ready for the Dartmouth Royal Regatta.
We had a look around the town first, before our scheduled Paddle Steamer river cruise along the River Dart.
Platform 1 - South Embankment, Dartmouth. This is now Platform 1 Champagne Bar & Restaurant.
This was Dartmouth Station built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. He wanted his railway to go over the River Dart, but permission was refused.
But he built the station building anyway, so was a boat crossing instead.

Well, I survived my surgery.
Yay!
I got to the hospital on time & got checked in/taken to pre-op almost immediately. Of course I had to do the required pregnancy test.1
Eventually, a nurse2 came in to set-up an IV—she only stuck me once, thus allowing her to join my unofficial Hall of Fame—while my nurse3 reviewed my medical history, medications, allergies, and the results of the unnecessary pregnancy test.4 I praised Candi for her achievement and tried to interact with Danielle. I was more calm and relaxed once the IV56 was set up. Danielle said the change in my demeanor after the IV was very noticeable.7 She wasn’t really thrilled, at first, with my mom saying that she was there to mock me while my IV got set up, but my mom explained why she does that.8 But she didn’t need to.
One big fear down, a couple more to go.
The antibiotic they used was clindamycin. It’s amazing how my old acne medicine is one of the few antibiotics my atopy-prone body has not declared war on. I guess it’s because it’s not really used that often. Danielle said that typically they’ll give Keflex9 and, if the person is allergic, they’ll use penicillin.10 Or the other way around? Having a Keflex allergy while having a penicillin allergy isn’t exactly normal, despite their being related. It probably happened in me because of genetics11 and because my first antibiotic allergy was Ceclor, which is related to both Keflex & penicillin somehow. Anyway, Danielle made sure I was not allergic to clindamycin before they officially hooked it up.
When the anesthesiologist came in, he insinuated that I wasn’t allergic to the medicines I listed. That changed as I explained the reactions. Each person who reviewed my list, including him, did not understand why I listed my orange juice allergy12 under the section for food allergies. Hmm. I wonder why a person would list a food allergy as a food allergy.
Maybe because:
Oranges and other fruits contain proteins that are chemically similar to pollen; eating these can cause itching and irritation of the mouth in certain people, many of whom also happen to be allergic to pollen… (via Newsweek)
That article points out that orange juice allergies can be worse for asthmatics because of our already inflamed airways. There are also some who believe that orange juice allergies can be a result of salicylate (aspirin-relatives) allergies/sensitivities.13 Basically, this orange juice allergy stuff is serious as fuck.
But I digress…again.
Before taking me to the OR, I was given a dose or so of Versed, aka midazolam.14 In some people,15 there is an unexpected reaction16 and medical professionals can go into denial mode over it because it is pretty much the opposite of what the drug is meant for.
Eventually, I was rolled off to the OR. Special latex precautions were taken, which was expected, and was the reason my surgery took place at the hospital instead of an outpatient surgery facility. I think I was the last surgery on the schedule and there may have been a good reason. The anesthesiology team consisted of the anesthesiologists ans 2 nurse anesthetists—the 3 were monitoring me for allergic/adverse reactions. Seriously. The patient board in the OR also mentioned I had multiple allergy issues.17
Eventually, the sleepy-time doc gave me the propofol and I zonked out. My parents said the surgery took five minutes and that my orthopedist, who I saw one time today…before the surgery, said my meniscus and fat pad were fine, but that the debris in my patella was made of bone flakes and that I definitely have arthritis. He also said I need to start exercising and trying to lose weight. I got pissed when he said that because this particular doctor always dismisses that I do exercise. I told him with a previous injury that I was injured while exercising. I told him this issue became noticeable while exercising.
As for trying to lose weight?
I’ve lost around 27% of the weight I wanted to lose. I’ve lost 32% of what I need to lose to reach a healthy weight. I would have lost more if my knee hadn’t been fucked up since Spring. Being fat doesn’t mean I should be dismissed like this.
Pretending like all of this is due to weight and weight alone is also bullshit.18 I’m having a hard time believing that the meniscus and fat pad1920 are totally okay, given the symptoms. I just think he’s used this to tell me that he thinks poorly of me for my weight. And that’s pathetic and superficial crap. If he’d ever bothered to listen to me, he could have come to that conclusion on his own.
After surgery, I started talking like crazy21 to the nurses in the recovery section, including Danielle, who was literally keeping watch over me afterward. She got so busy talking to me that she almost forgot to give me a dose of Fentanyl.22 And she almost forgot once again with my Demerol dose. At first, I wondered if she wanted to give me the pain relief injections because she thought it would shut me up. It just made me worse. It wasn’t long before I was getting discharged; we did have to wait for a drug-induced23 vertigo spell to pass.
I also had the lovely experience of a different nurse doing a bad job of removing my IV. She was trying to take the tape off without tearing my skin. I would be grateful for that effort except that, while doing that, she ended up removing the catheter24 rather violently. It started bleeding. A lot. As I mentioned earlier on Instagram, removing an IV so violently is not only painful and dangerous to people with conditions like Ehlers-Danlos or any other chronic health issues, it is painful and dangerous for able-bodied, healthy folks, too. And if you factor in the time it takes to stop the bleeding, taking it out that way costs you more time. Be careful with IVs.
Soooo…
As you have probably figured out, the IV bleeding finally stopped & it didn’t kill me. Yay!
Anyway, it’s been several hours since I got home. I’m still pretty wired and may be so for several days to come.
I chose to avoid going to the bathroom upon waking to make sure I could take the test. If I hadn’t, they might have refused to do the surgery. They almost refused my endoscopy-colonoscopy procedures a few years ago because I didn’t have enough urine to take the test. Part of that lack of pee was from the dehydration that resulted from prep. ↩
Candi ↩
Danielle ↩
Danielle apologized for that multiple times, especially since she knew I was taking hormonal birth control. It’s funny how the nurses who wanted dehydrated, virginal me to take the pregnancy test a few years ago for my endoscopy-colonoscopy combo didn’t apologize for demanding the test. The one who did when I had my D&C and hysteroscopy did. ↩
Candi gave me lidocaine to ease some pain, which isn’t the greatest to use in Ehlers-Danlos patients. ↩
The IV itaelf was quite painful. ↩
She understood what it was like to be a hard stick. The last time she had an IV, it took ten times. I almost asked her if she was some long-lost cousin. ↩
I’ve repeatedly mentioned the hard stick issue. I used to, as a small child, get blood work done a lot and had IVs started, and there were always vein issues—including when, as a preschooler, I had blood work done using a vein in my foot. I also was admitted to the hospital for asthma issues and the nurses setting up my IV wouldn’t let my mom come in while they did it. I kicked and screamed and cried and they just were mocking and not compassionate. I remember that as one of the few truly dissociative moments I’ve ever experienced. As a result, I was terrified of needles until I was a teenager. My mom—who I get my bad veins from, so she’s got an idea of how terrifying and painful vein stuff can be—could keep me calm by telling jokes. The calmer I was, the easier it was to hit the veins. It’s amazing how that works. ↩
My latest antibiotic allergy. ↩
It was my fourth antibiotic allergy. ↩
Thanks, Nana & Mama. They had allergies to antibiotics, pain killers, and anesthetics, too. ↩
I vomit, have uncontrollable stomach pains, and have asthma flare ups whenever I ingest it. This even happens when it’s an ingredient in a dish. I have to check ingredient lists closely for it & caffeine, or related products. ↩
Guess what over the counter pain medication Nana has an anaphylactic reaction to when she takes it?! Even in the form of cream for arthritic joints. ↩
Midazolam is a benzodiazepine that is used in lethal injections to calm the convicted individual so they don’t panic as they are exposed to other drugs that stop their hearts or suppress their breathing. ↩
Children, some death row inmates who were executed in the recent past, and me… ↩
They don’t fall asleep or stay asleep; hyperactivity & its short-term sedative effect is actually well-documented. ↩
There were also my bright protocol bracelets. ↩
Yes, my weight contributes. That’s part of why I was trying to exercise. ↩
He’s never acknowledged that the MRI wasn’t the “nothing is wrong here” situation he has suggested. Maybe he doesn’t realize I’ve seen the results. ↩
It was swollen enough yesterday that there was a lump right over it. ↩
I think if I ever imbibed, I would be a chatty drunk. More specifically, a chatty, giggly drunk. Alas, I shall never know, unless you count my drunk-like state when dehydrated and my intoxicated state on anesthetics and pain killers. , booze, I think we could have had some fun, bur jt apparently wasn’t meant to be. ↩
She told me I’d already had two other doses of it. ↩
There were quite a few meds in my system. ↩
The tubing that goes under the skin & into the vein that connects it to the IV. ↩

"Mortdecai is very unique and special. It's very different from anything I have done before. We haven't seen that type of caper movie for a number of years. If you go back and watch movies, like The Pink Panther or some of the wonderful French films with Louis de Funes, there's really something great about those caper films that teeter toward farcical. – Johnny Depp on Mortdecai
Who is Mortdecai?
Based on the novel Don't Point That Thing at Me by Kyril Bunfiglioli, Mortdecai stars Johnny Depp as an aristocratic art dealer, who is drowning in debt and denial. When his old friend and rival, Inspector Martland (Ewan McGregor), ropes him into helping to search for a stolen painting, he becomes bogged down by Russians, a terrorist, and other troubling inconveniences. With a beautiful but unhappy wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) at home, Charlie Mortdecai at least still has his trusty man servant Jock (Paul Bettany) always nearby to take care of everything. But will everything turn out all right in the end?
I tried to tame my anticipation.
Ewan McGregor has always been one of my favorite actors, but – unlike my Johnny Experience – I'm not sure how or when my love for Ewan McGregor began. I don't always know what movies he'll be in or when they're coming out, but I see them all. I love catching him on talk shows, but I never think to check for his name on the schedules ahead of time. I've even read his books about his motorcycle trips around the world, and I don't even like motorcycles.
So, when I found out that Ewan McGregor signed on to co-star in Mortdecai with Johnny, I was thrilled. Then, when the Mortdecai previews came out, they made me laugh out loud. I was really excited about the director, David Koepp, who directed Johnny in Secret Window, and the rest of the cast, which included Paul Bettany, Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Munn, and Jeff Goldblum. Then, one day, it occurred to me that I was setting this thing up for failure: No pressure, everyone, I just want this to be the best movie ever.
So, I went back to trying to ignore it was happening. It wasn't too hard because I was distracted by an endless string of colds that I was trying to expel from my body with Sudafed and sleep.
There's a first time for everything.
By the time Mortdecai opened, my most recent persistent cold had dragged my mood back down to blahville, and I kept putting off seeing Mortdecai during opening weekend. Because I was indecisive about when I had to leave my apartment, I ended up scanning the theater schedules on Fandango, where I couldn't help being shocked by Mortdecai's cumulative critics' score of 12 out of 100. So I did what I never do – looked at what critics had to say. I didn't actually read the reviews, but saw some short, memorable takeaways, like:
– "Charmless, mirthless, witless, this waste of time is another black mark on Depp's card, while his co-stars fare little better. Even low expectations won't help you here."
– "Mortdecai is an anachronistic mess that never succeeds..."
–"What a frantically dull spectacle this vanity project is."
– "Johnny Depp's done so much for us over the years; let's forget this movie ever happened." (I don't think this one was from Fandango, but it's my favorite.)
Come on, it can't be that bad, I thought. Yet, by the time I got out of the house to see Mortdecai that Sunday afternoon, I approached it like an errand.
And I hated it! I couldn't believe how much I hated it so immediately. I sat, stunned and annoyed by Johnny's wimpy character, pleading in my head to him to talk normally and slower and just be more Johnny-like. When that didn't work, I searched frantically for something good to say about Mortdecai. What about his co-stars, the sets, the direction, and the story? What was even going on in this story? I couldn't follow it. Why were the jokes so stupid? How many times were they going to refer to that horrible mustache? I finished my popcorn and began falling asleep – another troubling first. In the theater, though, one person kept me awake: A big black guy, who sat a few rows in front of me, cracked up at everything! Does that guy represent the audience for this movie?, I wondered. I left the theater bewildered, disappointed, and very panicked that I got nothing out of what I just saw; did this mean the end of Johnny Kitties?
"Johnny doesn't have to make awesome movies every time," my dad said when I told him my horrible news. But he does and he has, I disagreed unreasonably in my head. Clearly, I was under the influence of nagging illness, Sudafed, and mean critics when I first saw Mortdecai. (My advice to everyone is don't read reviews before seeing a movie and make up your own mind.) Still, I worried while waiting for the movie to be released on DVD. What if, after my cold is gone, Mortdecai is still completely awful?
Relax, I'm over it.
I may have been recovering from something still when Mortdecai arrived from Netflix. I had to restart it a few times because I kept falling asleep. Maybe it was leftover trauma from my first viewing, my fear of a second reaction, or maybe I was just really tired. My unplanned naps were a good thing: the more times I had to start the movie over to watch it again, the funnier it got. It turns out that I actually like Mortdecai after all!
Still, this isn't my favorite of Johnny's roles. His accent, which didn't bother me at all in the commercials, sometimes gets on my nerves after a while; other times, I can't even understand what he says. Also, this character bumbles around a lot. When trouble brews, he just asks his man servant what he should do and waits around for someone else to fix his situation. This helplessness takes me out of the movie at times because, obviously, Johnny can take care of himself. In some moments, I just want him to be cooler, as I know Johnny can be. Johnny's above some of this movie's humor, in my opinion, which I just don't always find funny or clever. Maybe I'll get there after more viewings.
In any case, Johnny explained himself in a DVD featurette, which helped me appreciate everything about Mortdecai more. Someone gave him the book that Mortdecai is based on, which he describes as "one of those books that makes you laugh out loud. It's just so beautifully irreverent and insane, but it's one of those stories, you're thinking, it translates to cinema only if you go to the extreme." He describes his character as pure and honest, someone who never thinks about what others are thinking. Charlie Mortdecai always assumes things will work out, despite whatever chaos is surrounding him, and whatever he says he believes to be true. Knowing that, I found everything about this character funnier and even a little endearing. Maybe I need to read the book for a full understanding.
By the fourth and final time I restarted and watched Mortdecai, I found plenty to like about it. Before the movie came out, everyone involved was comparing it to The Pink Panther movies,directed by Blake Edwards and starring Peter Sellers. Comparing this or any new movie to any classic, like The Pink Panther, is not a good idea; why put that standard in people's heads? However, I know why they all made the comparison, even if it's an unequal match. I see what they were going for with the performances and David Koepp's slick direction. From the opening credits on, you get the light-hearted, comedic feel for what's to come.
Johnny's performance may be distracting in some moments, but it's brilliant in others. The rest of the cast is wonderful too. My favorite is Paul Whitehouse – who's shown up in several of Johnny's movies, like Finding Neverland, Alice in Wonderland, and Corpse Bride. His brief appearance here as Spinoza makes me laugh out loud every time. I'm also happy to see Olivia Munn in this movie because she always makes me laugh too. Paul Bettany, who previously co-starred with Johnny in The Tourist and Transcendence, makes an impressive, funny tough guy. Gwyneth Paltrow is great, as usual (and in an equally great wardrobe), and Ewan McGregor is, of course, awesome.
Timing is everything in this movie, and this cast not only gets it right but seemed to have a blast working on it. "It's the most fun I've ever had on set," Johnny says. His kissing scene with Gwyneth Paltrow, in which she's too repulsed by his new mustache and which was in all of the commercials for Mortdecai, apparently took 15 or so takes because they couldn't stop laughing. "Most of my energy on set has been spent trying not to laugh," Paul Bettany admits.
These high spirits come through in the final product. I suspect they might even be contagious; as I said, I laughed more and more with each viewing. And, again, I saw some critic reviews without even trying – this time noting the DVD release – saying that Mortdecai is worth another look. But don't take their fickle word for it. I promise, Mortdecai will grow on you, so give it a chance!
These are my two favorite kitties!
I was really worried about finding something to draw for Mortdecai at first; it's one of the reasons I had to watch it four times. Since the most exciting thing about this movie to me was the prospect of Johnny and Ewan working together, I limited my options to the scenes they shared. Unfortunately, they don't have many. (They'll make up for it by working together again someday, right, casting directors?) Luckily, however, I realized eventually that one of their scenes is the key to everything.
In this scene, Inspector Martland (Comet) reveals the plot when he enlists Charlie Mortdecai (Gordon) to help him find a stolen painting. In return, his host offers him some rancid cheese. This scene not only tells you the plot, but captures Charlie Mortdecai's posh lifestyle and past, these characters and their rivalry, and even secret treasures. I stuck Jock (Norman) in there too because he really is always around to save the day.
What's next?
Johnny hears my illness-induced complaints and sinks his teeth into a serious drama, playing mobster Whitey Bulger in Black Mass. I haven't seen the previews yet and am afraid of the violence in store, but I'm very excited just the same. See it September 18th! A Johnny Kitties tribute will follow its DVD release.

The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, originally Cincinnati Union Terminal, is a passenger railroad station in the Queensgate neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. After the decline of railroad travel, most of the building was converted to other uses, and now houses museums, theaters, and a library.
The Union Terminal Company was created to build the terminal itself, the railroad lines into and out of the terminal, and other related transportation improvements. Construction and improvements began in 1928 with the regrading of the east flood plain of the Mill Creek to a point nearly level with the surrounding city, a massive effort that required 5.5 million cubic yards of landfill. Other improvements included the construction of grade separated viaducts over the Mill Creek and the railroad approaches to Union Terminal. The new viaducts the Union Terminal Company created to cross the Mill Creek valley ranged from the well built, like the Western Hills Viaduct, to the more hastily constructed and shabby, like the Waldvogel Viaduct. Construction on the terminal building itself began in 1931, with Cincinnati mayor Russell Wilson laying the mortar for the cornerstone. Construction was finished ahead of schedule, although the terminal welcomed its first trains even earlier on March 19, 1933 when it was forced into emergency operation due to flooding of the Ohio River. The official opening of the station was on March 31, 1933. The total cost of the project was $41.5 million.
During its heyday as a passenger rail facility, Union Terminal had a capacity of 216 trains per day, 108 in and 108 out. Three concentric lanes of traffic were included in the design of the building, underneath the main rotunda of the building: one for taxis, one for buses, and one (although never used) for streetcars. However, the time period in which the terminal was built was one of decline for train travel. By 1939, local newspapers were already describing the station as a white elephant. While it had a brief revival in the 1940s, because of World War II, it declined in use through the 1950s and the 1960s. In July 1958, Union Terminal was witness to the end of an era as the last mainline passenger steam train in the United States, the Norfolk and Western No. 603, originated in Cincinnati.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Museum_Center_at_Union_T...
During World War II, Cincinnati Union Terminal experienced unprecedented usage. As a major transfer point for soldiers, the station served as many as 34,000 passengers per day! But in the 1950s, the sudden expansion of interstates and airlines led to the rapid decline of the railroad industry. By the early 1970s, only two trains a day passed through Union Terminal and in 1972, train service was halted completely.

*Illusion and Evolution*
What's happening to the galaxies of cluster Abell 2667? On the upper left, a
galaxy appears to be breaking up into small pieces, while on the far right,
another galaxy appears to be stretched like taffy.
To start, most of the yellowish objects in the above image from the Hubble
Space Telescope are galactic members of a massive cluster of galaxies known
as Abell 2667. The distortion of the galaxy on the upper left is real.. As
the galaxy plows through the intercluster medium, gas is stripped out and
condenses to form bright new knots of stars. This detailed image helps
astronomers understand why so many galaxies today have so little gas.
The distortion of the galaxy on the far right, however, is an illusion. This
nearly normal galaxy is actually far behind the massive galaxy cluster..
Light from this galaxy is gravitationally lensed by Abell 2667, appearing
much like a distant person would appear through a wine glass. Each distorted
galaxy gives scientists important clues about how galaxies and clusters of
galaxies evolve.

Most ISS images are nadir, in which the center point of the image is
directly beneath the lens of the camera, but this one is not. This highly
oblique image of northwestern African captures the curvature of the Earth
and shows its atmosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere is composed of 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen
and 1 percent other constituents, and it shields us from nearly all harmful
radiation coming from the sun and other stars. It also protects us from
meteors, most of which burn up before they can strike the planet. Affected
by changes in solar activity, the upper atmosphere contributes to weather
and climate on Earth.
*Happy Halloween From
Cassini
*
As the new Equinox mission at Saturn begins, the Cassini-Huygens mission
team sends their best wishes for a happy, healthy and fun Halloween. We've
enjoyed sharing the stunning images and exciting results of Cassini's first
four years at Saturn -- and promise many more treats as the adventure
continues.
The Cassini program is an international cooperative effort involving NASA,
the European Space Agency and the Italian space agency, Agenzia Spaziale
Italiana. In the United States, the mission is managed by the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory.
*Doomed Moon of
Mars
*
This moon is doomed. Mars, named for the Roman god of war, has two tiny
moons--Phobos and Deimos--whose names are derived from the Greek for fear
and panic. These Martian moons may well be captured asteroids originating in
the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or perhaps from even more
distant reaches of the solar system.
The larger moon, Phobos, is a cratered, asteroid-like object in this
stunning color image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Phobos orbits so
close to Mars that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In 100
million years or so, Phobos likely will be shattered by stress caused by the
relentless tidal forces, the debris forming a decaying ring around Mars.
*Cratered Mercury
*
About 58 minutes before MESSENGER's closest approach to Mercury on Oct. 6,
2008, its Narrow Angle Camera captured this close-up image.
The features in the foreground, near the right side of the image, are close
to the terminator, the line between the sunlit dayside and dark night side
of the planet, making the shadows long and prominent. Two very long scarps,
or cliffs, are visible in this region, and the scarps appear to crosscut
each other. The easternmost scarp also cuts through a crater, showing that
it formed after the impact that created the crater.
*Expedition 18 Lifts
Off!
*
The Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft, carrying Expedition 18 Commander Michael
Fincke, Flight Engineer Yury V. Lonchakov and American spaceflight
participant Richard Garriott, launched Sunday, Oct. 12, 2008, from the
Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The three crew members are scheduled to dock with the International Space
Station on Oct. 14. Fincke and Lonchakov will spend six months on the
station, while Garriott will return to Earth Oct. 24, 2008, with two of the
Expedition 17 crew currently aboard the International Space Station.

Space shuttle Atlantis (foreground) sits on Launch Pad A and Endeavour on
Launch Pad B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At the left of each
shuttle are the open rotating service structures with the payload changeout
rooms revealed. The rotating service structures provide protection for
weather and access to the
shuttle.
For the first time since July 2001, two shuttles are on the launch pads at
the same time. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a
rescue mission is necessary during Atlantis' upcoming STS-125 mission to
repair NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The missions is slated to launch Oct.
10.
After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, it will be
moved to Launch Pad 39A for its STS-126 mission to the International Space
Station. That flight is targeted for launch Nov. 12.
*Phoenix Provides a Panorama of
Mars
*
Combining more than 400 images taken during the first weeks after the
Phoenix arrived on the Red planet's arctic plain gave scientists this view
of Mars.
The full-circle panorama in approximately true color shows the polygonal
patterning of ground at the landing area, similar to patterns in permafrost
areas on Earth. The center of the image is the westward part of the scene.
Trenches where Phoenix's robotic arm has been exposing subsurface material
are visible in the right half of the image. The spacecraft's meteorology
mast, topped by the telltale wind gauge, extends into the sky portion of the
panorama.
This view comprises more than 100 different camera pointings, with images
taken through three different filters at each pointing.
*Morning Frost on the Surface of
Mars
*
A thin layer of water frost is visible on the ground around NASA's Phoenix
Mars Lander in this image taken by the Surface Stereo Imager at 6 a.m. on
Sol 79 (August 14, 2008), the 79th Martian day after landing. The frost
began to disappear shortly after 6 a.m. as the sun rose on the Phoenix
landing site.
The sun was about 22 degrees above the horizon when the image was taken,
enhancing the detail of the polygons, troughs and rocks around the landing
site.
This view looks east-southeast with the lander's eastern solar panel visible
in the bottom left-hand corner of the image.

Rct. Kayla N. Baralotos, Platoon 4039, Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, kicks a striking pad during martial arts training Sept. 11, 2015, on Parris Island, S.C. These techniques, part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, are designed to combine hand-to-hand combat techniques from various martial arts and fuse them with character development, helping transform recruits into physically strong, morally sound Marines. Baralotos, 17, from Crane, Texas, is scheduled to graduate Nov. 20, 2015. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for approximately 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Vanessa Austin)

According to legend, the Glastonbury Tor is the The Isle of Avalon, burial site of King Arthur.
Name: St Michael's Church, monastic remains, and other settlement remains on Glastonbury Tor

Reasons for Designation
The complex of settlement remains, graves, building foundations, and standing remains on Glastonbury Tor have been demonstrated by excavation to reveal a lengthy period of occupation on the Tor lasting, with possible gaps, from around the fifth or sixth centuries through to the Dissolution of 1539. The height, shape, and prominence of the Tor in an otherwise flat and once marshy landscape means that it will have attracted attention for its defensive qualities as well as being naturally attractive as a place of spiritual or religious pilgrimage. The high status nature of the pottery and metal finds of the post-Roman period found in excavation suggest the use of the site as a stronghold although an early Christian settlement cannot be ruled out. Certainly, the site supported what appears to be a monastic retreat from at least the tenth century and churches were successively built on the summit. The second medieval church has been shown to have been accompanied by contemporary buildings suggesting that a permanent presence was retained on the Tor in order to attend to pilgrims and enabling mass to be celebrated; the tower of this church, dedicated to St Michael, still stands as a landmark which may be seen from miles around. A number of surviving medieval documents serve to confirm the antiquity of the Tor as a religious centre and it is firmly woven into the ancient and literary traditions surrounding the presence of King Arthur at Glastonbury. The monument will retain important archaeological evidence for the lives and religious beliefs of the populace of the post-Roman period (a period where evidence is otherwise very scarce), the later Saxon period, and the medieval period, the signifigance of the Tor in former times as a place of worship and the relationship between this site and the nearby Glastonbury Abbey.
Details
The monument on Glastonbury Tor includes part of the below ground remains of a post-Roman occupation site dating from the sixth to the seventh centuries AD, part of a monastic settlement probably dating from at least the tenth century, and part of the above and below ground remains of what has been interpreted as a medieval pilgrimage centre for the cult of St Michael. This latter complex includes the foundations of the church of St Michael and its 14th century standing tower which is a Listed Building Grade I. All of these remains are located on the relatively flat summit and the south west shoulder of Glastonbury Tor, a prominent natural conical hill with a 300m long whale- backed ridge sloping away to the south west, just to the south east of Glastonbury. The summit, at 158m above sea level, has commanding views over much of the flat Somerset Levels which surround it and the Tor is traditionally associated with the legendary Isle of Avalon, a reputed resting place of King Arthur. Although artifact finds of earlier periods have been made on the Tor, the earliest evidence of settlement comes from the post-Roman period (the so-called Dark Ages). Excavation carried out in 1964-66 demonstrated the presence of the remains of timber structures, metal working hearths, and pits, on the summit of the Tor to the north east of St Michael's Tower. These remains, which were planned, recorded, and published, were considered by the excavator Philip Rahtz to represent the site of a post-Roman stronghold or settlement centred on the sixth century, but perhaps dating from as early as the fifth century, of secular or possibly early Christian origin. Two graves discovered in association with the earliest recorded remains were considered to be pagan due to their north-south orientation. Post-Roman finds recovered from the excavation were of high quality for the times and included imported Mediterranean pottery associated with either wine or olive oil which are indicative of a surviving trading network in the post-Roman south west; this contrasts with what appears to be the situation in the rest of the country. There is no evidence of continuity between the early settlement and the complex which replaced it but continuity in some form may be considered likely. In excavation, a number of timber buildings set on platforms cut into the rock and including two possible monastic cells and the post-holes for timber uprights of a possible communal building were recorded. These remains have been interpreted as those of a monastic retreat of late Saxon origin which lasted probably into the early Norman period. A cross base found on the summit was believed to be Saxon in date. Although there is no direct reference to a pre-Conquest monastery on the Tor, a 13th century document known as the `charter of St Patrick' names two lay brothers, Arnulph and Ogmar, residing on the Tor in former times. This suggests that in the 13th century there was a strong tradition that there had been a monastic settlement on the Tor. The summit of the Tor is dominated by the standing tower of the church of St Michael. The original stone church, which may have had timber predecessors, has extant foundations believed to date from the 12th century. This church appears to have formed the focus of a monastic complex and this is confirmed by a charter of 1243 which gives permission for the holding of a fair `at the monastery of St Michael on the Tor'. The 12th century church was reportedly destroyed by an earthquake on 11th September 1275. Rebuilding commenced under Abbot Adam of Sodbury in the first half of the 14th century and the base of the standing tower is believed to date from this period; it was restored in 1804 with the north east corner being entirely rebuilt. The tower, which survives to three stories high but is unroofed, has seven canopied niches on its western side. Five of these are vacant but one contains a statue of St Dunstan and another, the base of a statue of St Michael. Flanking the western doorway of the tower, are matching relief carvings, one of an angel watching over the weighing of a soul and one of St Bridget milking her cow; a relief carving of an eagle is set just below the string course of the upper storey. On the east side of the tower the scar of the nave roof may be seen; its foundation walls partly survive below ground and were recorded and left in situ by the excavator. The exposure of the foundations showed the rebuilt medieval stone church to have been 25m in length inclusive of the tower, and 7.5m wide. Revealed in excavation to the south west of the church were the enclosure wall of the churchyard and beyond that the traces of a suite of buildings of 14th to 15th century date which are interpreted as the living quarters of a resident priest in attendance at the church, and a possible bakehouse for the provision of food to pilgrims. If this interpretation is correct it seems likely that pilgrims attracted to Glastonbury Abbey would visit St Michael's on the Tor as well and that the two establishments were almost certainly linked in some way. All of the above ground stonework of St Michael's Church, apart from the tower, was removed in the aftermath of the Dissolution of 1539 probably at the same time that buildings at Glastonbury Abbey were dismantled. The last Abbott of Glastonbury, Michael Whyting, was executed on the Tor in 1539 as part of the political ramifications of the Dissolution and his quartered body distributed to the four Somerset towns of Wells, Bath, Bridgwater, and Ilchester.
Excluded from the scheduling are all fencing, guard rails, and fencing posts, fixed benches, modern steps, bollards, fixed point information boards, and concrete hard standing, although the ground beneath all these features is included.

Stone Hall - Acocks Green History Society archive
Stone Hall is one of the most respected and beloved institutions in Acocks Green. Over the last three decades it has given so much pleasure to so many people, enriching their lives with education, leisure, trips, meetings, meals, indeed everything that a real community centre can do.
The Tithe Map for the 1840s shows the area between Broad Lane, the Warwick Road and Well Lane (Westley Road) occupied by fields. Numbers 1197 to 1199 were owned and farmed by Benjamin Cook. In 1853 he began to develop part of the land, and built three dwellings on Broad Road. Five years later, nine houses were built along the Warwick Road, including Stone Hall, and five more on Broad Road. It is possible that the surgeon's house on the corner of Broad Road was also built at this time. That left a large corner area at the Green, part of which was soon taken up with the original New Inn, which was opened in 1859. Next to the inn, five cottages leading back from the road were built in the same year. Benjamin Cook's estate came up for sale in May 1875 after his death. Stone Hall was Lot 16.
The ground rent for Stone Hall dates from 25th March 1858. It was built at the eastern end of field 1197, called Fox Green Lane Close in the Tithe Award Schedule. In the 1860 and 1864 directories the house was occupied by Samuel Robotham, and in 1868 by Joseph Bourne, a gun and pistol maker. In the 1872 and 1883 directories the house was listed under William Bourne. In 1884 the house and grounds came up for sale. Stone Hall was sold by auction on Thursday 27th March 1884 by Grimley and Son. The estate was 5 acres, 1 rood and 17 perches. There were aleady two ground rents within the Stone Hall estate, one for a house on the Warwick Road, and one for a piece of land in Well Lane ( Florence Road c. 1876 and Westley Road since c. 1879). The greater part of the rest of the estate was said to be available for building on: "The whole of the land in Well Lane and a considerable portion of the frontage in the main road may be advantageously leased for the erection of Villa Residences without destroying the character of the Residence or interfering with the privacy of the Pleasure Grounds." This is how the property was described in the sale documents. It was clearly a rich man's home.
Known as “STONE HALL,” situate at Acocks’s Green, in the parish of Yardley, on the Warwick Road, about four miles from Birmingham, comprising a most substantially-built FAMILY RESIDENCE, erected by a former Proprietor, for his own occupation, regardless of cost; delightfully placed in beautifully-timbered Grounds, abounding in choice Shrubs and trees of mature growth.
