This is where Darren done his startrails shot last night.
Ive not got the talent for that kind of thing so have to settle for this. Check out Darrens Star Trails here: www.flickr.com/photos/darrenmuir/7030851499/in/photostream
This Centrebus has just joined the guided section of the bus way,

This quilt's backing and binding were FREE.
I got the lighter piece from my daughter Autumn when she handed me all her fabrics. I chose to cut it in half to border the darker fabric.
The darker piece, which I also used for the binding on this one, was from the free table at a guild meeting almost a year ago. When I picked it up, I knew then that it would be used for a charity quilt backing. I was happy to discover it was long enough to make it the binding too.
The darker fabric looks like it's a brown color, but it's actually black with a gold colored design. The lighter fabric is a beige color with a tiny black vine design on it. They work together really well I think.
I still need to hand stitch down the binding, and that will be done tonight. And my little Mister was the quilt inspector for this one.
This was my first shoot with Michelle - Tim gave her a glowing recommendation and he was right on. Michelle is very new to modeling but she did great - she's very easy to shoot with, has great features, she's very photogenic and sassy at the same time. This was a fun shoot! We did this one in June 2012 - hopefully this is the first of many!

A favourite from my own collection: this is a hybride between my 2 loveaffairs; Lego and Thunderbirds. This shows I'm not crazy; even Lego loves the spaceage of Gerry Anderson! Why? Because in 1965 Tb was suddenly hot in the UK, on tv, in the shops, with boys&girls. Gerry was the only one who used the term '2065', a thousand years later then the actual days the lived back then. Lego used that popularity in this ad to underline you could make even spaceships with Lego. This is almost the only outing into space by Lego, until about 8 years later with their own range of NASA-stuff in blue&white.
This compilation video shows a chase of ARR 4006 as it leads a freight train south toward Seward. Filming locations include Rainbow, Bird Point, and Moose Pass, AK. As seen in the video, this train departed Anchorage well before sunrise which, at this time of year, didn't occur until ~1000L, so the first two locations were shot before the sun came up over the Chugach Mountains.
The tide in the Turnagain Arm, home of some of the largest boretides in the world, is on its way out. Photos and video along the Turnagain always turn out better when there's more water than not, so I was lucky to at least have some water present!
The final location in Moose Pass is, to me, a little slice of heaven. I just wish this location saw more than one or two trains per week in the winter time. If there were more trains, I'd probably camp out here for days at a time! As it is though, you have to take what you can get.
Also, Chris Laskowski, *this* is why you need to bring C. Vision Productions up here!

The reason we go to the effort and expense of removing the oxygen from each bottle is to prevent oxidation and loss of nutrients. We do this is to provide the best quality for our customers.
For more than 80 years, this kind of packaging has been considered the only way to permanently remove oxygen and seal in the oxygen-free environment to prevent devitalization by oxidation.
Even so, New Hope Natural Media is apparently on the side of plastic. Established a decade after Pines was established, New Hope conducts two major trade shows for the natural products marketplace each year. In a recent publication, they glorified the proliferation of green superfoods in plastic tubs by saying,
“Nutritional powders in plastic tubs were once strictly the purview of whey protein for gym rats. But nowadays everybody’s in on the game, seeking out everything from single-ingredient powders like kale to kitchen sink–style multinutrient blends…”
The author then praises the company he believes started this plastic trend and implies they are the "pioneers” of green superfoods. Clearly, despite evidence such as the picture above and actual laboratory analysis, New Hope does not seem to recognize the problem of oxidation. In fact, they apparently see nothing wrong with plastic at all!
We've never seen an article in any New Hope publications about any problems related to plastic containers. Besides not understanding how plastic tubs with their cheap caps "breathe" and allow oxidation, they also seem oblivious to the fact that plastic is made from petrochemical fossil fuel.
Even though the natural foods marketplace is increasingly filled with plastic containers, New Hope seems unconcerned about the Texas-sized #garbage patch that contains fragments of plastic tubs and other plastic containers swirling around in the center of the Pacific. They also seem oblivious to all the plastic waste in our #landfills. Instead, they obviously love plastic and consider companies that use it to be "pioneers".
Sharp shards of plastic from plastic containers are killing fish, mammals, birds and other #wildlife in alarming numbers. This plastic waste is also slowly leaching #toxic chemicals into our #environment.
Although the Natural Food Marketplace likes to brag about not using plastic bags, in terms of the total amount of plastic, bags represented less than 1% of the plastic leaving health food stores. In fact, one green superfood tub contains more plastic than 20 plastic grocery bags!
When this issue is brought up, people are told to "recycle." That may sound like a good idea, but even though many of us do #recycle, most people don't. Thus, most of the containers leaving natural food stores end up as #plastic waste in our oceans and landfills, Ironically, those of us who recycle are actually encouraging more plastic waste by supporting companies that package in plastic. As a result of our failure to demand appropriate packaging, these companies never have incentive to stop polluting the planet and continue to add more and more of their plastic tubs to our oceans and landfills.
In addition to our not agreeing with New Hope's plastic infatuation, we also strongly disagree with their designation of another company as the "pioneers" of green superfoods. Pines is the pioneer of green superfoods! We introduced #wheatgrass to the natural food marketplace in 1976. That was 15 years before the company New Hope claims to be the pioneer was established. Our other #greensuperfood products and blends also predate that company by a decade or more.
In fact, it was Pines that coined the term "green superfoods" in the late 1970s. We are the ones who came up with slogans like "Eat More Greens," and we were shouting that message from the rooftops at a time when few people understood the importance of green foods for health and disease prevention.
Unfortunately, our efforts to encourage people to eat more green may have led to this proliferation of plastic tubs filled with devitalized brownish-green powder. It also may have led to people growing an unnatural and potentially-dangerous form of wheatgrass juice "shots" made from plants forced to grow far-too-quickly with freakishly tangled roots in crowded trays.
These off-tasting, far-too-sweet juice shots have a fraction the nutritional level of real winter-grown wheatgrass grown outdoors where the roots are allowed to go down into deep soil. This is how wheatgrass is supposed to grow and is how Pines' has grown its wheatgrass for nearly 40 years.
Our predecessor company, led by Dr. Schnabel, the father of wheatgrass, grew wheatgrass naturally at our location in the 1930s for the research by doctors and hospitals that was the scientific basis for books by Ann Wigmore, Viktoras Kulvinskas and Steve Meyerowitz.
On the other hand, as people recognize the poor quality of these plastic and unnaturally grown green superfoods, our "eat more green" message has finally helped bring about the current popularity of nutritious #wholefood green #smoothies. Our message about including vegetable fiber is becoming mainstream as people are careful not to overuse juices and juice powders.
Today's wholefood smoothies are often further fortified with spoonfuls of Pines' superior wholefood dark green #superfoods to provide more flavor, more nutrition, more chlorophyll and a darker green color. Instead of juice extraction machines, the trend in green superfoods now involves whole food machines such as Magic Bullets, Vitamixes and blenders.
Even though we have been loyal supporters of New Hope for 31 years and have purchased booths at every single one of their West Coast trade shows and most of their East Coast events, they clearly don’t acknowledge Pines as a pioneer, and the reason is obviously because we refuse to use plastic.
New Hope has provided poor environmental leadership, especially since evidence points to their being a major reason the natural food marketplace has become awash in over-priced products in cheap plastic packaging, while they ignore products at reasonable prices in appropriate packaging from Pines.

This depot in Jefferson, Ohio, was built by the New York Central and hosted passenger trains into the early 1960s, although those trains stopped here in the middle of the night. Contrary to appearances, the former Conrail boxcar visible here is not part of a freight train but is in the consist of the excursion train once hosted by the Ashtabula, Carson & Jefferson.

St Mary, Huntingfield, Suffolk
Follow these journeys as they happen at Last of England twitter.
It was the first day of the 2019 Easter holidays, and what better way to spend a Monday morning than heading off for a church-exploring bike ride rather than going to work? I caught the train up to Halesworth, and then cycled off out into the hills. The villages and their pretty parish churches come thick and fast around here, and almost all of them are open to pilgrims and strangers daily. There is a good mixture too, round towers, square towers, hardly-any-left towers, reed-thatched roofs, beflinted-porches, and all manner of treasures inside. A fair number of East Anglia's best small churches are in this area. But even given this variety, there is nowhere else in East Anglia quite like Huntingfield church.
This is one of Suffolk's more obscure villages, but the Huntingfield name was that of one of the county's most significant families. Huntingfield is the nearest village to the great pile of Heveningham Hall, with one of the largest Georgian frontages in England. It was rebuilt by the Huntingfields in the 18th Century. Standing on the road and looking across the sheep-scattered lawns to the great building, it is easy to imagine the gulf between the landed gentry and their poor workers in those days. Sandwiched between the traumas of the 17th Century and the energy of the 19th Century, it was the landowners of the 18th Century who had every reason to think that their world was permanent and unchanging, that it would always be as they knew it. Farming sheep, collecting art, patronising musicians, tinkering with primitive science and technology, dispensing benevolent largesse to the poor on their estate - it is a world that is at once attractive and appalling. For them, the Church of England was both an arm of the state dispensing laws, justice and charity, and the setting for the weekly liturgical reinforcement of the puritan-refracted Elizabethan settlement.
But the Industrial Revolution would bring it all to an end, and in more ways than one. In the second half of the latter century, many parish churches were drawn by the excitement of the age into major reconstructions and revisions. Their impulse came from Oxford, where the Tractarians had a vision of the Church of England as a national Church, no longer a protestant sect but restored to the catholicity of its roots, and from Cambridge, where the ecclesiologists decided what a building of the national Church should properly look like. As the young men graduated and were presented to parishes across the country, their ideas spread like wildfire. They had come from their univserities to churches fitted out for protestant worship, with whitewashed walls and box pews focused on the high pulpit, the rarely-used altar gathering dust in the chancel or even discarded. Preaching houses rather than sacramental spaces, and any surviving traces of the building's medieval life survived, perhaps, simply because they were not understood.
Essentially, what happened in England between about 1830 and 1870 was a cultural revolution, a new wave of ideas and the reaction to them. The litugical changes proposed by the Oxford Movement were, at first, objectionable, and then merely controversial. But gradually they seeped into the mainstream, until by about 1890 they had become as natural as the air we breathe. Galvanised by the ferment of ideas and the possibilities of the industrial age, these young men convinced their rich patrons, revolutionised their buildings, and in so doing altered their parishes forever. They often looked to London stars like Scott and Butterfield, or local plodders like Phipson, or else mavericks like Salvin. The demands of the new liturgical arrangements, coupled with a renewed sense of the need to glorify God, led them into what was often a rebuilding rather than a restoration.
Internal decorations were, perhaps, the bespoke work of the architect, Witness Phipson's meticulous attention to detail at St Mary le Tower, Ipswich. Other restorers relied on the big picture, a vision that encompassed walls and floors, but left the fittings to others. By the centenary of the movement in the 1930s, one Anglican clergyman could observe "It is as if the Reformation had never happened". Well, not quite. And now, the pendulum has swung the other way, leaving the ritualists high and dry. But the evidence of the energy of those days survives, especially at Huntingfield, where William Holland, the vicar, drove the Oxford Movement through the heart of the parish, like a motorway through a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The Hollands were the patrons of the living, which gave them the authority and the money to reimagine Huntingfield church on a grand scale. Oxford and Cambridge universites were exclusively for men, of course, but it so happened that William Holland had an energetic and visionary wife. Between 1859 and 1866, Mrs Mildred Holland planned, designed and executed the most elaborate redecoration of a church this county had seen since the Reformation. For seven years, she lay on her back at the top of scaffolding, first in the chancel (angels) and then in the nave (saints on the ceilure, fine angels on the beam ends), gilding, lettering and painting this most glorious of small church roofs. Her husband kept a journal throughout this period, and there is no suggestion that she had any assistance, beyond that of workmen to raise the scaffolding, and a Mr E.L. Blackburne FSA, who was, apparently, an 'authority on medieval decoration'. J.P. St Aubyn was responsible for the structural restoration of this largely 15th century building, and it is very restrained and merciful. But you come here to see the painted roofs, which are perfectly splendid. You can activate the floodlighting with a pound coin in a box at the west end of the north aisle, and the illuminated work is breath-taking.
What else is there to see? Some 15th Century window borders in the east window of the south aisle depict hares and a little dog with a bell around his neck. And what is that at the bottom, a dragon, or a winged lion? Evidence of the church's continued High Church tradition into the 20th Century is in statues of the Blessed Virgin and child flanked by St Francis and St Dominic in a triple image niche set in a pillar of the north arcade. Was it originally for a rood group, perhaps above an altar? Any church is a palimpsest, history written and rewritten over its skin as a touchstone to changing liturgical imperatives and the long generations of its people. Across this canvas the enthusiasms and Huntingfield in Mildred Holland's time are writ large, and will last long.
And there is something else, and a great curiosity. Ann Owen, the Vicar's wife in the neighbouring parish of Heveningham, is also said to have been responsible for 19th Century work in the church there, this time in the form of stained glass. Visiting Heveningham, I am afraid it is difficult for me to find this convincing, although of course one likes to think it was so, and that the two women artists were friends, or possibly even rivals. But Mildred's story has been brilliantly captured in a recent novel, The Huntingfield Paintress by Pamela Holmes. Pamela tells me that 'it was a comment of yours about Mildred and Ann Owen which sparked my determination to write my first novel' which is very kind of her, although I am sure it was easy to be inspired when one stands here surrounded by Mildred Holland's work.
You might thnk that the towering font cover is also by her, but in fact it is her memorial, placed here by her husband, as is the art nouveau lectern. It is as if her art was a catalyst, inspiring others to acts of beauty. She died in the 1870s, predeceasing her husband by twenty years. They are both now buried by the churchyard gate. How fitting, that they should lie in the graveyard of the church they loved so much, and to which they gave so much of their time, energy and money.
This is an ongoing project. This is the day the shelves arrived. The bathroom is a cube, the kitchen/dining room is a long open cube, and the bedrooms are a long divided cube.

This Fantastic restoration is from Paul in Northern Ireland. the 1972 T500J looks gleaming and is wearing some stainless Titan chambers, we love the green / white colour scheme
I love this time of year !
The cool mornings and the vibrancy of the landscape.. all very satisfying :-)
This is a panettone made with Giorilli's recipe. Christmas has already passed, but I baked it anyway. I don't own a stand mixer, and it was a very tricky dough to handle. Although not perfect, it was at least doable -- and delicious.

This bronze statue located at Mission San Rafael Arcangel depicts Junípero Serra (November 24, 1713 – August 28, 1784), known as Fra Juníper Serra in Catalan, his mother tongue. He was a Majorcan Franciscan friar who founded the mission chain in Alta California of the Las Californias Province in New Spain—present day California, United States. Fr. Serra was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988. Source: Wikipedia
