Three Larson Scanners, Extendable version.
I had a spare, worse-for-wear Larson Scanner laying around, so I decided to tie a THIRD Scanner to the end of the chain to make sure that they would still work.
For the Blue and Brown pairs, solid color wires are outputs, color-white wires are inputs. Note how the solid blue of the left unit is tied to the brown-white of the right unit, and the solid brown of the right unit is tied to the blue-white of the left unit.
Note also how the Blue/Blue-White pair on the right-hand unit and the Brown/Brown-White pairs on the left-hand are twisted to each other. This tells the board that those are the ends of the line.
What can I say about St Michaels? Well, I liked the church, however, those coming out of the church hall letting their children play in the gravestones! not very clever or nice if you ask me.
And then there is the church, all full of icons, shrines to St Mary and the air thick with incense, I guess this is about has high as you can get in Anglican.
Situated on a hill overlooking the old village set in a small valley, and over the road from the old Leper Hospital, the graveyard is overgrown, and is a Gothic nightmare if one were to come at night, all very large Victorian stones.
It is two weeks ago since we visited, so my memory is a little rusty, let's see what John has to say:
--------------------------------------------------------
Most people visit the chapel of St Nicholas Hospital in Harbledown, which is just as much a place of pilgrimage today as it was in the Middle Ages. However, the nearby church of St Michael is full of character despite the fact that it dates in the main from 1880. The south aisle is part of the original Norman church - one blocked window survives - and there is a damaged thirteenth-century piscina. There is also an unusual piece of carved stone of uncertain age which represents two bulls fighting, with a sun above them. The architect for the enlargement of 1880 was J.P. St Aubyn - never the most sensitive of architects. There is some pleasing nineteenth- and twentieth-century glass including a rare representation of the Search for the Holy Grail.

On hilltop (c. 160ft. above sea level) in centre of village immediately north of sunken main road from London to Canterbury. Blean forest to north.
Until 1825, there was only a simple nave and chancel. Then a 'north transept' was built. This was demolished when the architect, St. Aubyn built a new chancel and nave (and north porch) along the north side of the old chancel and nave in 1880-1.
The original nave is early Norman, with Quarr stone quoins on the south-west corner. Also Quarr stone voussoirs in round arch above door on S.W. side of nave. The original extent of the nave to the east is marked by a 'megalithic' block of ragstone 3/4s of the way along the south wall. The coursed whole flintwork of the west wall of the original nave is also early, and there is a blocked round-headed window in the upper gable wall (also ? Quarr stone quoins). Inside the church the remains of rere-arch of another round-headed window has been uncovered in the south wall of the nave, and Petrie's early 19th century drawing appears to show another on the north side. There is the remains of a possible piscina in the south wall near the east end of the original nave. Nearby the so-called 'stone of Mithras' is set into the wall (it was discovered in 1881 and is perhaps medieval).
The nave was lengthened eastwards and a new chancel was built perhaps in the 13th/14th century. Only the rere-arch of the east window is medieval. The other windows and the chancel arch were all totally restored in 1880-1. There is the remains of a medieval crown-post roof in the nave, and of a little timber bell-turret above the west-end of the nave (probably late medieval, but supported internally in the roof by 19th century timbers. It is weather-boarded, but Hasted describes it as shingled. It contains 4 bells: Hatch, 1603; Palmer, 1670; and Henry Jordan (1442-68) inscribed 'Sancte Katerina ora pro nobis'.
A west gallery and timber porch outside the west doorway are said to have been demolished in 1879. Also a 'Tudor' arch is said to have been replaced as the original chancel arch by the present one in 1881. In 1979 the original chancel was partitioned off behind the arch and become the vestry with a W.C. and upper room.
A new door was cut on the south-east. The north transept, built in 1825 in brick (with a slate roof and timber window-frames and a gallery), was cased in flint and stone in 1855. A new high tiled roof and gable was built, and the windows were replaced in stone. This was swept away in 1880-1, when the new larger nave and chancel were built, with an arcade of three arches to connect with the old church. An organ was installed in the old chancel (moved to the west end of the south aisle in 1979).
BUILDING MATERIALS (incl. old plaster, paintings, glass, tiles etc.): Early Norman quoins of Quarr stone, also ragstone + Caen stone. The main material is flint. Restoration in 1880-1 in ? Bath stone.

Three Rivers Snacks
New France hamlet, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA
Three Rivers is New France's snack stand, featuring funnel cakes, popcorn, and drinks. I'm not sure if the structure existed when the park opened in May 1975, but it's listed here in the late 1970s and early-mid 1980s under a generic "barbecue rib stand" title. By the mid 1980s it went by the name Three Rivers Smokehouse, which it retained until the opening of Trapper's Smokehouse across the way in March 2003.
It's very useful to have three friends all pregnant at the same time and to be happy to have their photos taken :)
Richland County. The locally prominent Three Buttes, located about 20 miles west of Sidney, are the namesake of the Three Buttes community (the buttes were featured in a George Catlin painting from the 1830's). A post office first opened at Three Buttes in 1904 (November 8) with James MacKenzie as the postmaster. The post office was located in the MacKenzie home on the north end of the Three Buttes. In 1908. the post office moved about two miles east, to the home of the next postmaster, Mabelle Prevost. Marion Brown (1916) and James Hendrickson (1917) also served as postmaster before the position was filled by Elva Putnam in 1919. The post office was located in the Putnam home (about six miles northeast of the Three Buttes) until the final closure of the office in 1932 (February 29).
Are dragons real? Since they do not live on the physical plane, scientists cannot trap and dissect them. Yet magicians and psychics who have explored the astral realms know first-hand that dragons do indeed exist, and that they make very powerful co-magicians. Dragons tap into deeper currents of elemental energies than humans. Because of their ancient wisdom, dragons are valuable contacts to call upon when performing any type of divination, such as the laying out of tarot cards. Tarot decks and other divination tools seem to fascinate them. The Celtic Dragon Tarot is the first deck to use the potent energies of dragons for divination, magickal spell working and meditation.

The boy on the left was the only one who got my 'jumping' instruction right. His friends could only look in amazement and surprise.
These are just three of the hundreds of children in Lorega, a depressed community in Cebu City, Philippines. A handful of them are robbed off their childhood - forced to work or beg at the streets, molested by their kin and denied the chance of getting even a primary education.
The local church that I belong to conduct wholistic activities in the area, with the hope and the prayer that these kids will be given a better quality of life despite the overwhelming odds they have gone through.
On this, the second day of the four-day excursion in Ayrshire and Wigtownshire, I had the benefit of three expert bryologists to help me recognise more bryophytes in the field.

A walk on the high moors of the North Lancashire Pennines led us to this magnificent sculpture by the world renowned land artist Andy Goldsworthy. This sculpture was a commission by the Abbeystead estate. One pillar was constructed a year and was completed in 2001
It was quite a trek. I wasn't sure exactly where to find it and the moor is a pretty featureless place. A couple of hours of ankle-busting stumbling over pathless moorland while being buzzed by low flying grouse was a price worth paying
The hike began with a boat ride to the Redfish Inlet Transfer Camp. We follow the Redfish Lake Creek trail southwest as it climbs gently and steadily to the Alpine Lake (of Redfish Creek) turnoff. Take the left fork and continue south past an unnamed pair of lakes. At 6 miles, the trail arrives at Lower Cramer Lake, elevation 8340', the smallest of the three Cramers. Middle Cramer Lake has a waterfall. Upper Cramer is the largest of the threesome.
The Expedition traverses Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area using the Florida National Scenic Trail.
Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition. From January 17 through April 25, 2012, a team of explorers including photographer Carlton Ward Jr, cinematographer Elam Stoltzfus, bear biologist Joe Guthrie and conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt, set out to trek 1000 miles in 100 days to showcase the opportunity to protect a connected corridror of natural lands and waters throughout peninsular Florida for the benefit of wildlife and people.

Three young armadillos, tearing up my yard. Today it was only me to fight them off the lawn, away from the flowers, off my back porch. I lost.
These three monkeys were wonderful entertainment as you will see in the next few shots :)))))
