This is a rare and very special find brought to you from aces finds vintage. We sell and list vintage every day.
This is a vintage security bag. It is about 100 years old, and in unbelievable condition. These are very hard to find in canvas, let alone in leather. I have never seen one in this condition. It may have never been used. These bags very rarely come up at auctions.
This van has been recently imported from Utah and is currently up for sale.
Seen at VW Dubs & Bugs Restorations, Queensway Meadows, Newport.

I wish I had my good camera when I saw these babies. He got right up when I got out of the car and gave me a good stare.
The last installment of the 3 part series of grunge, monotone, or very little tone images from around Dayton.
I almost moved into this house... it was the first one my parents looked at when we first moved into town, nearly 18 years ago.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 29th of February 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories or information to add please comment below.

This bus is a 2017 model according to Fairfax School Buses wiki on Fandom. This exact same fleet number was previously incarnated on a Blue Bird TC/2000 FE.
This is an extremely steep staircase which becomes smaller at the bottom - like Dr. Kaligari or something - you have to pay close attention going up or down!
My bedroom is behind the wall where the water container is to the left in this photo.
According to those who know these things, Square Rock is made of erosion resistant Shannons Flat Granodiorite which, formerly known as Shannons Flat Adamellite, has reverted in the Australian Stratigraphic Database to the name usage it had before that. Confused? Me too! Perhaps I should pile stratigraphers in the same leaky boat as taxonomists?
One thing the Australian Stratigraphic Database is good for is pulling together fun facts about a stratigraphic unit. Of oblique interest when the scenery is what grabs the attention is that what is under your feet has a Rb/Sr isotopic age of 413±6 million years. This places it in the Upper Silurian/Lower Devonian period — quite old but not really old.
I've dragged your attention away from the scenery to have a look at this feldspar phenocryst. No, seriously, those are real words. Nice, isn't it? Well I think so. I know I haven't included a scale so you'll just have to take my word for it being of impressive size. Anyway, it impressed me. The chunky rough surface of granite is what makes it so much fun for traversing, whether up, down or sideways. The face over there is bolted for climbers. They love this stuff.
I'm quite fond of the granite family of rocks too. They are a fascinating part of the evolution of continents and until fairly recently had people flummoxed about how they formed. Now we know they are mostly the consequence of the partial melting of older rocks at depth in the Earth's crust and the gravitational instability of the resulting crystal mush which rises up until it freezes in great blobs. That's the non-technical term — we can get too carried away with jargon.
After all that, I'm pretty taken with this phenocryst — brought to us by Nature — and I'd like to think you are too.
this face? Love this little baby planner...9 months!

This doll has a Rayna head mold on a Brides of Dracula body. I generally like the Rayna head mold and this doll seems to be very well received with collectors but she is absolutely not my thing. I'll say no more because I know people tend to get offended :) She was the sales room doll that every attendee of the IFDC could purchase if they wished.

This is "A curved shawl with diamond edging" from Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby. We knitters (and probably other crafters) usually call our projects languishing around UFOs (for unfinished objects). So I finally have an FO! I finished knitting it a while ago, it's just taken me a while to weave in the ends and then block it. Especially with lace, you must wet the garment then stretch and pin it out to dry, or you will never see the pattern. My challenge is finding space large enough to pin a shawl out--plus it is backbreaking work (bending over that thing...)
Then it was a matter of how to photograph it...
This is not one of the squirrels I rehabbed. This is a wild squirrel who came in the window from the fire escape. I hadn't put out enough food for her, so she decided to just come into the apartment and get some herself.

This is the story of Misty our neighbours cat.
NEWS FLASH!!!!
I am thinking about getting a female kitten for Shogi!!!!!!!
Shogi is an indoor cat and has an outdoor pen.
Due to Shogi's history he's never had much human contact or seen another cat.
Our neighbours bought Misty and has taken to visiting Shogi while in his pen.
A few weeks ago I noticed that Shogi's mood seemed to lift and his temperament had improved.
Great! We're making progress!!!
Then I find out why,
Shogi was making friends with Misty through the pen.
I couldn't believe it!!
Since then Misty sits at my door step every morning.
I can see her through the glass as Shogi sits the other side looking at me pleading to see her.
I have let Misty in our home to see how Shogi reacts and he's great.
They play wonderfully together but Misty goes a bit over the top and growls a lot
The other day it was heavy rain here and Misty didn't come.
Shogi sulked upstairs all day and didn't eat until 11pm.
Hence we're thinking about another cat.
Misty has certainly brought him out of himself.
I would normally go for a rescue cat but due to Shogi's history, I've been advised from friends, Maria, and my vet, to go for a kitten, a female and a similar breed.
They informed me that Shogi will realise that a kitten is younger than him and less of a threat, even better being a female.
Ragdolls are very placid and a similar breed to Shogi, (plus I've always wanted one) so Shogi should be fine if we go for a Ragdoll.
I'm still in the early stages of this idea for Shogi's benifit, but we're going on a 4hr drive to visit a lovely breeder called Maria to have a look at her Ragdolls.
Maria loved her 1st Ragdoll so much that she decided to breed Ragdoll cats.
Like myself Maria is not a big fan of some breeders.
Maria is one of the few who is very kind to her cats and has nothing but love for them.
In fact if she didn't like me or unsure, she wouldn't let me have one!
Maria lives in the country in the the South of England near Kent.
She has a few queens and studs and does not push with breeding..
In other words her queens are not breeding machines and she refuses to sell her kittens to breeders for the same reason.
Selling to breeders, she found very upsetting as she didn't agree with how her cats were being used.
Maria says and I quote " Some people don't love cats as much as they should be loved. I think I can only do this for one more year and then enjoy all the cats I've got"
Maria has 20 Ragdolls and 5 kittens at the moment. One of them is a Bi-colour which is my favourite and she's a female!
Maria does this for the love of Ragdolls and refuses to let her cats go to people she is unsure will not love them or look after them properly.
She also rescues ragdolls from people who have changed their mind about being a cat owner or are moving home or abroard.
Maria loves all her cats and her premises are very spacious and spotlessly clean.
The kittens have their own room and she has many pens including part of her house opens up into a pen from her outside doors so when it's warm they can come and go as they please.
Here's Maria's website-

I will let you know how I get on.

Okay, this is part of the story of rebuilding society so, here goes nothing...
"Alright, you've probably at least heard about a type of rouge "Chicken Walker" by now. The good news is, if you can see this, it means you are still alive. The bad news is, well, pretty much everything else. If you have been feeling depressed lately, it is highly advised that you do not continue watching the program. Alright, so you probably have been wondering where the he** this beast came from. Stay tuned to find out. Just kidding, here you go. Several companies had been experimenting with self-controlled mechanical walkers. They were pretty much built the same way as human controlled, except these were controlled by an extremely high tech artificial "brain" that was designed to assess risks and act accordingly. During a test, the "brain" assessed that its creators were risks to it, and killed them all. Then it escaped. It was actually a police officer Dan Higgins that first came across it. He radioed in when he saw it moving towards him. As it moved closer, he pulled out a 9mm pistol on it, but stayed on the radio. The "brain" immediately assessed "risk" and blew him to bits with one of its six “smart" (automatically controlled, also called Fire and Forget) missiles. The radio was still on, but the officer was surely dead. The local police station immediately new it had a huge problem on their hand, one that they were by no means capable dealing with and immediately requested military assistance. Two Humvee jeeps were immediately dispatched, but both were quickly eliminated with its 37.64x12mm cannon. From there on, the "brain" considered all humans as a risk, and now kills everybody on sight. This concludes our, very solemn newscast for tonight. Our thought and prayers to everybody out there with dead our injured loved ones.
