As seen from outside the Portland Post Office when I went in to get my passport. Note, the windows are covered in the same stuff they started putting on city bus adverts. So, is Tri-Met doing beta testing for Homeland Security? What are they looking for at the post office? Are they scrutinizing the general delivery box, which is now handed out by the passport folks?
I find the concept of a very obvious spy van just sitting there in my liberal city to be rather surreal, and I am not made to feel safer by this in the least. While you can't see him or her, you can be sure I'm having my picture taken at this moment, too. Thanks Reich Security.

This was taken from the earth-covered top of one of the Secure Munitions Stores at RAF Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire. These were built in the Cold War days to house "special weapons" ready to be loaded on aircraft.
During the recent SALT rally we got to park the cars in this alley between the stores and the revetment opposite - a very rare & unique opportunity! Like several of the buildings on the site, English Heritage has recently denoted the whole storage area as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Deboxing the 2013 Classic Mulan doll. The backing has been removed from the front plastic part of the box. The doll is still attached to the backing. There are wires attaching her waist and ankles to the backing, rubber bands attaching her hands to plastic spacers, and wires securing her hair to the backing. Photographed in defuse natural lighting.
The new Mulan doll for 2013 is identical to the 2012 doll, except changes to her skirt and legs. Once more Mulan, along with Pocohantas, gets no respect from the Disney Store. Her skirt is now glitter free, but is much narrower and slightly shorter. Because of the lack of glitter in the skirt, I prefer this doll over the 2012 one.
A major change, common to all the 2013 Classic Princess dolls, is the replacement of the fully articulated legs with the old rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal knee joints. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the 2012 legs, but when exposed the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable. Also the glitter tends to stick to the rubber legs, and it cannot simply be brushed off.
The packaging for the dolls is much improved. The boxes are 1/2 inch flatter than the 2012 boxes, at 13'' H x 6'' W x 2'' D, making them more economical to produce and ship, and taking up less space on a shelf. The box art has been completely redesigned, with beautiful decorations unique to each Princess (actually for each movie), and a cameo of the animated movie character. The backs of the boxes has a short storyline for each character, as they did before 2012. The way the dolls are packaged is much simplified, making it much easier and quicker to remove them from the box. Mostly gone are the tiny plastic T-bar fasteners, which secured the outfits to the backing and left little holes and sometimes runs in the fabric. In some cases there are still large T-bar fasteners tacking the back of the doll's head to the backing. Also the dolls with free flowing hair no longer have them flattened and sectioned into two parts, making it hard to even out the back of their hair after deboxing. Instead, their hair is gathered up and placed to one side of the doll, and secured by thread or wire. It looks good as is in the box. Or if the doll is deboxed, it is easy to shake out the hair and even it out using just your fingers.
Mulan has one T-bar fastener securing each sleeve to the backing, a rubber band around each hand tying them to plastic spacers, a couple of black wires tying down her hair, a single wire around her ankles and a wire around her waist.

Ash Street Jail
New Bedford, MA
January 6th, 2016
America's oldest continuously working jail.
"The original New Bedford Jail was opened on Monday, October 5, 1829 with William Reed as the first jail keeper. The County Commissioners appropriated $13,236.30 for its construction. This facility was located on Court Street and is no longer used as a jail. This structure is currently used for Civil Processing. The building had been previously used as the home of the Sheriff and his family.
The County Commissioners soon recognized the need for additional facilities and authorized the construction of the New Bedford House of Correction Building on the east side of the original jail lot between Court and Union Streets.
The old Bristol County Jail on Court Street in Taunton was quickly becoming obsolete which led to the acquisition of new site on land belonging to the estate of William Hodges on the east side of the present Hodges Avenue. The new Hodges Avenue Jail was completed in 1873 at a cost of $160,000. This facility would get local acclaim as the temporary home for an accused axe murderer from Fall River named Lizzie Borden. The Fall River socialite was detained at the Taunton Jail for ten months while awaiting trial for the murder of her father, Andrew Borden in August of 1892.
The Hodges Avenue Jail in Taunton had served the citizens of Bristol County until 1923 when it closed its’ doors for the final time as a place to house prisoners. The building remained vacant for ten years until the David F. Adams Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars rented the building for their meetings. The Veterans group used the building for many years. They finally purchased the building for $2,500 following the Second World War. It was dedicated as a permanent memorial to U.S. Veterans.
The County Commissioners recognized that the old Jail on Court Street in New Bedford had long outlived its usefulness by the mid 1880’s and began plans to replace the old stone jail. This effort led to the construction of the new 287 cell Ash Street Facility in 1888 at a cost of $80,000."

This weeks Photo 52 theme of "Secure" seems to fit nicely into another project I have on the go at the moment.
Unsure which to submit at the moment yet.
The top-seeded Army West Point Women’s Basketball team won its third Patriot League title with a 69-51 victory over No. 3 Loyola on Saturday evening at Christl Arena. Army secures the Patriot League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and will make its third appearance in the dance, following trips in 2006 and 2014.
Army extends its winning streak to 19 games and improves to 29-2. The Black Knights’ 29 win tie the 2009-10 Lehigh squad for the most total wins in Patriot League history. Loyola finishes the year 16-16 after the setback.
Senior Kelsey Minato earned Patriot League Tournament MVP honors for the second time in her career after scoring 25 points and shooting 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Classmate Aimee Oertner and sophomore Janae McNeal joined Minato on the league’s all-tournament team, as Oertner posted a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double, to go along with four blocks, and McNeal totaled 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
Sophomore Destinee Morris netted eight points off the bench, while classmate Aliyah Murray and freshman Madison Hovren each contributed four points.
Diana Logan led Loyola with 15 points, while Colleen Marshall and Bri Betz-White also scored in double figures, with 12 points and 11 points, respectively.
Minato knocked in a three-pointer 2:28 into the contest to give Army a 5-2 advantage before sinking all three free-throws after being fouled on a long-range attempt with 5:03 to play in the first quarter. Her three foul shots made the score 10-4.
Oertner registered three blocks in the first 2:19 of the evening to limit Loyola’s offense early, as the Greyhounds were held to nine points in the opening frame.
McNeal converted lay-ups on consecutive possessions to cap a 9-0 Army run and extend the margin to 10 points, 14-4, with 3:41 remaining in the first period. The Black Knights went on to outscore the Greyhounds, 13-5, over the final 6:48 of the opening frame, as the hosts led, 20-9, at the end of one.
Logan scored the first seven points of the second quarter to begin a 9-0 run that brought Loyola back to within two, 20-18, with 6:45 left until halftime. Logan buried her second triple of the half to extend the scoring run to 12-0 and give the Greyhounds their first lead of the game, 21-20, with 6:12 remaining in the second period.
Army answered back with 10 straight points of its own, including three-pointers from Minato and Morris, to build the advantage to nine points, 30-21, by the 2:39 mark. Morris drained her second three-pointer of the quarter with 19 seconds remaining in the half to make the score 33-23 heading into the break.
The Black Knights maintained a 10-point advantage until building the lead to 14 after a pair of free-throws from Minato and a bucket from Oertner that came with 4:04 on the clock in the third quarter.
McNeal added lay-ins 22 seconds apart to build the hosts’ lead to 17, 47-30, before seven unanswered points from Loyola brought the Greyhounds back to within 10, 47-37, entering the fourth period.
Oertner netted four quick points to begin the fourth quarter and Minato hit a triple at the 7:59 mark to bring the score to 54-41. Loyola didn’t come any closer than 11 for the last 7:59 of the contest.
“This team has never ceased to amaze me this year,” said head coach Dave Magarity. “It’s mind blowing that we are 29-2 and the way we got here, the teams we beat and we thought we put together a pretty tough schedule with Albany, the conference champion in the America East, Quinnipiac won the MAAC regular season and they were huge wins for us and put us in position to get the one-seed as things worked out for us with the tiebreaker over a great Bucknell team.
“This group of young ladies has just accomplished so much with 99 wins over four years at this level is incredible and they just continue to do what it takes. You don’t want it to turn into a cliché with being a team of destiny, but we put together the right pieces. Janae McNeal and the junior class with Aliyah Murray and the Morris twins, as well, and I consider my coaching staff the best in America. It’s the best coaching staff I’ve ever had and I’ve had some pretty good coaches."

The reimposition of checks at the Schengen area’s internal borders has put one of the greatest and most tangible achievements of the European project at risk, observed most MEPs speaking in a debate with the Commission and the Council on Wednesday. They agreed that, in order to restore the normal functioning of the passport-free zone, the EU’s external borders need to be properly secured.

Luisa Rios is the local coordinator of Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) key partner in the region, Sociedad Peruana de Derecho Ambiental (SPDA). “Brazil nuts are one of the most important forest products for export that we’ve got,” she says. “If we want these forests to produce not only today, but for the next 50 years, we need evaluate what is actually happening so that we can improve the best practice guidelines. This can only be done through field research on the ground.”

William Enston Homes, 900 King Street at Huger Street, Charleston, SC. Photo taken August 2008. Built in three phases starting in 1888, this was one of America's first attempts at creating safe and secure housing for families who might otherwise have no options.
The original legacy was established in 1859 with the death of a wealthy Charleston merchant. William Enston left part of his fortune to the city for the establishment of a type of public housing, a very new concept that came out of the great social reform movement of the mid 1800's. Enston was aware of the new urban plans for worker and elderly housing that had been advanced at the Great Exhibition in London earlier in the decade of the 1850's. Prince Albert was one of the more famous advocates for this type of improved housing. Some notable examples were built in cities and larger towns throughout the United Kingdom before 1860.
William Enston, a native of Scotland, was taken by this concept, though it would be almost 30 years before his estate was applied to this purpose in Charleston. Still it was one of the first such planned housing projects in America specifically designed to provide safe housing for the poor and independent housing for the elderly. Enston's widow had the good fortune and wisdom not to invest in Confederate bonds during the Civil War. Some time after the war she left Charleston and eventually retired to Philadelphia with much of her husband's estate still intact.
William Enston's original gift was almost lost, however, until a letter outlining his intended gift was discovered years later among Charleston city records. Despite the looting of city documents in 1865 and the near total loss of City Hall with two natural disasters in 1885 and 1886, the document was recovered it would seem at just the right moment. It was Charleston's Mayor Courtenay and Mrs. Enston who eventually put the deal together in the aftermath of the Earthquake of 1886. The initial construction of the first cottages became an important part of the city's rebuilding efforts and a concerted plan for reform of the city's social infrastructure which followed.
The first phase was begun in 1888. A second phase was begun in the 1920's and halted only with the economic crash of 1929. A third and final phase was initiated in 2002 and completed by 2005. Each phase follows the intent of the original design, but each reflects a slight change in material, design and technology reflecting the time in which the newer buildings were constructed. It is still a unified campus located in what was once a sylvan suburb of a 19th century city. Today it is a residential island in the middle of a mature urban neighborhood more closely identified with the city's core than its 20th century suburbs. The entire complex is designed to be financially self supporting. With the quality of the materials used and depth of thought in its plan, the complex is built to last.

I made this for an open art project at the church I attend here in Knoxville but I may make another one instead.
Someone called security on me tonight for lighting fireworks... I saw him coming so I threw away my spent roman candle before I got close to him. He asked if I had been shooting firecrackers and I said no since it was a roman candle not a firecracker. Is that lying? Not technically, I guess... Anyways, I told him I didn't see anyone else but the runners I had surprised by flinging molten steel into the air and then he left.
I'm so glad that I finally got out to light paint again. This semester has been pretty busy so I haven't got to paint nearly as much as I wanted to. Hopefully I can go out more often. I said that I'd go out tonight even if was a downpour. Luckily, I finished my shot before it started to snow really hard.
