Almost a throwback to the mid-1980s in this black & white ground-level view of former Merseybus Leyland Atlantean 1003 on display amongst the other preserved modern and vintage buses of the North West in the car park on Shore Road in Birkenhead.
Jordy Nelson, Brad Jones, and Nick Collins model the new throwback uniforms that the Packers will be wearing this year.
Throwback January 2020 graduation moments! From the cocktail dinner at Cry d'Er, in Crans-Montana, to the official ceremony, we proudly celebrated our freshly graduated Les Roches students.
We also had the great honor to have Les Roches alumnus and Director, Corporate Events & Services at the International Olympic Committee – IOC, Panos Tzivanidis, give a fulfilling speech to the students during the ceremony. What a great way to motivate our graduates!
Hard-work, laughs, tears, and friends. Our young Alumni can now start a new chapter filled with many wonderful memories from their time at Les Roches. Congratulations to everyone!
This week we are going back twenty-eight years to 1996 and to VA 2 on Abbey Street. It is at the terminus of route 66.
VA 2 was one of 10 VA Class buses delivered to Dublin Bus in 1996. They were similar to the AD Class. Those had an Alexander body on a DAF chassis, whereas the VA Class had the Alexander body on a Volvo chassis. All ten were delivered in CitySwift livery, though did a few years later receive the new yellow / blue Dublin Bus livery. The class was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 2006, with them transferring to Bus Eireann. Some went to Cork, and some stayed in the Dublin area. They were used on public services by Bus Eireann, sometimes causing confusion. For example they were used on the Balbriggan town service while still wearing the Dublin Bus livery. Eventually they moved to school services and some were sold on to other operators.
Except one bus that did not have this second career with Bus Eireann was VA 2. In 2003 it was the victim of an engine fire and was burnt out while operating a service on route 76 in Neilstown.
The DUTC started running route 66 between the city centre and Maynooth in 1934. Around 1988 some departures started terminating on Straffan Road in Maynooth, but around 1996 it became the full-time terminus for the 66. The route ceased to operate in November 2021 when it was replaced by route C3 under Bus Connects. The C3 still uses Straffan Road as a terminus.
Middle Abbey Street is no longer a terminus for bus routes.

The guy in the front is Shawn a.k.a. Big Shawn Don. He was friends with Ebony and my older cousin back when i was growing up – producer and aspiring rapper since he was maybe in the 8th grade. I came home (springfield, ohio) from my freshman year of college and my cousin set up a little photo shoot for him and the group, Poetical Priznas. The photos were to be used for their CD cover.
Now I believe he is working with our hometown superstar, John Legend, on some projects. He also dated my sister's good friend (my long long long time crush)
The other cats are LA (red hat) King T(black hat) and Speedy (brick cell phone).

Was out in the woods this afternoon with a friend shooting. Reminded me of a shoot a long time ago. Fun stuff. Cool things are on the horizon.
I wish I were more of a Pepsi or Mountain Dew fan in times like this (Coke really is tons better!). However, I was still bummed when I missed the chance to buy the Throwback when it came out earlier in 2009 and excited to hear they released it again. I like this packaging better anyway. I'll have to save some cans since that old Pepsi logo is a classic. Also available is "Dr. Pepper Heritage", but I passed on that.
I understand this has been out for awhile already, so if you want some you'd better get out and get it.
DeGrazia ceramics were made from original molds. His inspirations were taken from desert shapes and colors. Many of these ceramics had a special glaze he created. One of the main ingredients to the glaze was oxidized copper. After this was added, the ceramics had to be fired in a kiln at an extremely high temperature in order for them to turn the beautiful blue turquoise color DeGrazia was best known for. Happy Throwback Thursday!
We are pleased to announce our upcoming exhibit "Modernist Ceramics of Ted and Marion DeGrazia”! An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 5-7 pm on Friday, September 2nd, 2016, at the Gallery in the Sun.

DeGrazia said, “When I say I am intimately acquainted with every adobe in my studio, I mean it. I put them up. And as I felt the need for more room, I added another studio–-–one for display, one for painting, one for ceramics, one for living quarters.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
This week’s Throwback Thursday photos are from October 29, 1968 – a 3rd Alarm at 2960 Victory Blvd, Staten Island (FD Box 33-2381).
My interpretation of throwback was something that is an older version of something still used today. This is an old coke bottle from the 1930s.
DeGrazia remembered well the criticism he received in those early days from people who thought his art was no good. They did not like how DeGrazia followed his own rules in art. On one occasion, DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is also on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Naval Medical Corps 150th Anniversary - Throwback Thursday #1 . "It was exactly a decade ago - March 11, 2011 - that a sizable tsunami following an earthquake slammed into the Fukushma Daiichi nuclear power plant, resulting in a trio of reactors melting down. American military personnel and family members were evacuated for safety reasons. Naval Hospital Bremerton (NHB) staff members assisted with the arrival at Seattle-Takoma (SEATAC) international airport of the voluntary authorized departure of eligible family members from Japan on March 21.
