"Pusha T (@kingpush), has been involved in nearly every major facet of the #hiphop world, beginning with his early days as half of the duo Clipse. More recently, the 38-year-old artist recently signed on as president of Kanye West's record label G.O.O.D. Music, and released his latest album in December. @nytimesfashion asked @kingpush, who is based in Norfolk, Virginia, about some of his favorite items in his closet. Among his selections: T-shirts by @johnelliottco and 13 #Rolex watches. The photographer @malinfezehai took this #portrait of @kingpush at the Dream Downtown hotel in New York."

DETECTIVES SEEK PREGNANT WOMAN'S KILLERS
RENEE KRAUSE, Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
DANIA -- Homicide detectives spread pictures out on the trunk of a car at Modello Park on Monday, trying to pinpoint a description of a vehicle and possible suspects in Saturday night's fatal shooting of a woman who was seven months pregnant.
Doctors had placed Samantha McHellon Funchess, 20, on life support to give them time to save her baby. Funchess' son was born on Christmas morning, weighing 3 pounds 6 ounces.
On Monday, the baby was in critical condition in the neonatal intensive care unit of Memorial Hospital in Hollywood, nursing supervisor Jim Ball said.
Broward Sheriff's homicide Detectives Phil Amabile and Joe Damiano repeatedly drove through the neighborhood and the park across the street from where Funchess was killed, talking to anyone who had information that could lead to the arrest of Funchess' killers. They were looking for information about the three men reportedly in the car from which the fatal shot was fired.
"We have no solid leads," Amabile said. "It's just a senseless murder. Hopefully we can solve this case as soon as possible to give some peace of mind to the family. This community wants this case solved very quickly."
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 492-TIPS or the Sheriff's Office homicide unit at 765-8900, Ext. 373.
Funchess was shot just outside her home at 46 NW 10th Court, near the American Legion Hall where a crowd was gathered about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, detectives said.
Funchess, who lived with her son, LaJuan, 3, and her mother, Helen White, spent the last few hours of her life buying things for her unborn child, her mother said on Monday.
"She bought bottles, a baby bath, T-shirts and pajamas," White said. She brought those items home and then took White's car to go to another store to buy a high chair, White said.
"She brought the high chair upstairs and then went outside to talk to some friends," White said.
White was listening to Silent Night when she heard the familiar sounds of gunfire.
"People ran into my apartment yelling, 'Sam was shot. Sam was shot,"' White recalled, wiping tears with tissue as she sat in a sister's home in Dania.
"I don't want to play that song anymore," White said.
She was surrounded by family on Monday afternoon, just after she returned from her first visit with her new grandson. She said she would name the baby Samuel McHellon after her daughter.
"And I'll call him 'Sam' just like I called his mother," White said.
White said seeing the baby brought a little relief from her agony. "It felt good. It felt like I still had someone who belongs to her," White said.
Family members described Funchess as a happy young woman who always tried to make others smile.
Zemoria Perry said she went through school with Funchess, her first cousin. They attended Collins Elementary School, Olsen Middle School and Hollywood Hills High School.
"If you didn't see her smiling or if you didn't see her teeth, you knew something was wrong," Perry said.
Funchess, her son and mother were supposed to move from their home last week, but Funchess chose not to move on Wednesday because it was her birthday, White said.
If the move had gone as planned, "she probably wouldn't have been where she was shot," White said.
White said she will not return to the apartment.
Family friend Ruth Knowles Payne said she took LaJuan back to his apartment on Sunday to let him open his Christmas presents. Funchess had bought her son many toys, including a remote-control jeep and a bubble-gum bank.
On Monday, LaJuan, dressed in a blue-and-white shorts outfit, crawled onto his grandmother's knee. He looked into her eyes and asked, "Mama got shot?"
White answered truthfully.
"Where?" LaJuan queried. "In the head?"
White shook her head. "She went away. She's not coming back."

The lavatory is likely one of the most important rooms of our home that can increase our impression to the company. To maximise daylighting, a wall to wall skylight will likely be positioned instantly over the shower and as night sets in, a effectively placed hid uplight will present ambient lighting. Brandon and I contemplated an enormous intestine job, tearing out the wall dividing the vainness from the bathroom to open issues up, and just about taking all the things again to studs.
A pedestal sink will take up less area and make your rest room look larger than earlier than. Bathroom remodels remain probably the most common dwelling enchancment projects and there is no end. For you, a fantastic bathroom may be easy; a bathroom with gleaming, all-white surfaces and brass for all the fixtures.
Also, excess tiles may be remodeled into accent items in your toilet, akin to decorations by the sunshine switches, rest room tissue dispensers, mirrors, and even towel racks. Should you weren't in a position to come out to our house warming party on Saturday, listed here are some earlier than and after footage of our toilet.
Really, the design of your new bathroom is where you need to start your planning followed by selecting a brand new toilet sink, faucet, and vanity. If you like to rework bathroom successfully, you must put your belief on the Bathroom Concepts.
This is among the most experienced sources to redesign your toilet applying the fashionable ideas. One of the most widespread causes for toilet reworking is for a change within the look of the room. Its now time to start out deciding on shade schemes, vanities, cupboards, counters, single or double bathroom sinks, bathtub tubs and every different factor that helps set the tone of your bathroom.
The brand new rear addition allowed for a larger master suite, guest bedroom, office house, and visitor toilet, while maintaining the expansive outdoor residing space and gazebo. The NKBA envisions a world where everybody enjoys safe, stunning and practical kitchen and bathtub spaces.


Even if you have no interest in watching overtrained, prepubescent teenage athletes perform ridiculously difficult routines they've rehearsed 27,000 times, you likely have a vague memory of the gymnast Kerry Strug. She was a member of the 1996 American Olympic team that has been called "The Magnificent Seven" — the endlessly celebrated group that won the first ever team gold for the US. Strug was the one who performed a clutch vault with an injured ankle. She landed on one foot, clinched the win for team USA and then collapsed in pain. Dramatic stuff.
I saw the now 38-year-old Strug last month at the US Olympic gymnastic trials in San Jose. What was she doing? She was sitting in a booth, marketing a product called KT Tape. It can be used, among other things, to treat injured ankles. What a perfect product endorsement, I thought. I overheard the company representative telling anyone who would listen of the near magical powers of the colourful material.
The Olympics are a massive marketing opportunity, obviously. The CEO of KT Tape, which is sponsoring many Olympic teams, was quoted as saying that the "visibility in the Olympics will help us grow awareness of the brand and encourage people to check it out." No doubt.
Unfortunately, an investigation by the BBC and the British Medical Journal discovered that many of products and training practices that gain popularity via the Olympics are not supported by sound science. So, in preparation for the upcoming Rio Games, here is a quick debunk of some popular evidence-less sports trends.
When you think about it, how could this product possibly work? How could tape placed on the surface of the skin help to resolve an issue with a muscle, tendon or bone? For example, if you are a world-class sprinter, bolting from the starting blocks, there is a ridiculous amount of physical force involved. How is a bit of tape on your thigh going to help? But despite the absurd nature of the practice, you will see it everywhere at the Olympics, and I'm certain it will become more and more popular.
Breathing nasal strips — These are those little pieces of tape that athletes put on their noses to increase the airflow. Though very popular — heck, even race horses are using them now — studies have found that the practice does not improve breathing, VO2 max (maximum oxygen intake), or performance. Once again, there may be a placebo effect, but it is an almost entirely science-free approach to enhancing performance. My call? Bunk. In fact, once you start working hard, you breathe mostly through your mouth — the most efficient way to bring in air.
IV hydration — An increasing number of athletes are turning to pre- and post-competition IV hydration. And there is a growing number of hydration "clinics" that are using athlete endorsements to sell the practice. The belief is that IV hydration is a more efficient and effective way to get fluids. But despite its growing profile and popularity, there is no evidence to support the practice. In fact, available evidence suggests that simply using an apparatus called the mouth (aka drinking) is usually the more efficient way to hydrate. Incidentally, IV hydration is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency, except when it is medically required. So, in the context of the Olympics, this is illegal bunk.
Vitamins and supplements — This is a massive multi-billion-dollar industry. And the journal Sports Medicine has found supplement use to be very common among elite athletes. It is no surprise, then, that supplement companies — such as Herbalife — are sponsoring Olympic teams. Much could be said about the iffy science around many supplements. For the purpose of this Olympic debunk, however, let's just say that supplement use by athletes perpetuates the myth that there is something magical about supplementation, despite the fact that the evidence regarding the benefits is mixed at best. For must of us, we should simply strive to eat a healthy, balanced diet. In addition, it should not be forgotten that the regulation of the supplement industry is relatively lax. There is huge variation in the contents of the products and only weak evidence is required to support their marketing. For example, BioMed Central found that almost 60 percent of the tested supplement products contained substances not listed on the label. Sixty-eight percent had some form of product substitution. Only 17 percent of the tested herbal supplements had no product substitution, contamination or unlabelled fillers.
The Olympics are a wonderful celebration of athletic performance. But they have also become an international festival of sports pseudoscience. It will take an Olympic–sized effort to fight this bunk and bring a win to the side of evidence-based practice. Go team science!

San Diego Police Call Fire at Fletcher and Gonzalez Home 'Suspicious'
"The front of our house was engulfed in flames, but we were able to safely evacuate out another door"
Published January 12, 2022 • Updated on January 12, 2022 at 4:48 pm
A fire that began after 4 a.m. at the home of two longtime San Diego political fixtures is under investigation.
San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher and former California assemblywoman and union leader Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher, who are married, and their family safely escaped the fire that started outside the front door of their City Heights home early Wednesday.
San Diego police Lt. Christian Sharp said later in the morning that dispatchers received calls regarding the fire at about 4:20 a.m. Officers arrived a few minutes later, then went around the back after seeing the flames on the front porch and surrounding areas, and knocked on the door to alert everyone and help get them out.
The fire was started on the exterior of the home, and some type of plastic storage bin in front of the home may have caught fire, Sharp said. He said the blaze was suspicious in nature because of the early hour and because it was on the outside of the home.
The San Diego Metro Arson Strike Team (MAST) is investigating the incident.
Fletcher and Gonzalez were awoken by their smoke alarms, according to the supervisor.
"The front of our house was engulfed in flames, but we were able to safely evacuate out another door," Fletcher said.
San Diego police and firefighters responded to the scene within minutes, Fletcher said as he thanked first responders for saving his home.

"We just want to let everyone know, our family is safe and that's really all that matters," Fletcher told reporters outside his home, which was gated and is off a long roadway.
"We joked, '2022 is going to start off better than 2021. We'll just say tomorrow's going to start off better,' but it's going to be fine," Fletcher said.
The Fletcher family would be displaced for a few days as crews worked on the home.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call SDPD at (619) 531-2000 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Fletcher and Gonzalez are both Democrats. Fletcher, who was elected chair for the second year in a row on Tuesday, went from his home to a county board of supervisors meeting, where he was officially sworn in.
Fletcher briefly addressed the incident at the meeting and then said it was time to get to work.
Supervisor Nathan Fletcher and former Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez safely escaped an early morning fire at their City Heights house.
Lorena-Gonzalez recently withdrew from her appointment as a top California assemblymember representing part of southern San Diego County to become executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation.
The two were married in 2017.
This story will be updated when new details become available.

Aboriginal languages to become a new HSC subject from next year.
Mamamia News
Aboriginal languages will become a new HSC subject from 2016 after a decade of planning.
NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli announced the move on Monday, saying the new course would "help maintain this critical part of Aboriginal cultures", Fairfax Media reports.
Since 2005, students have been able to study Aboriginal languages from kindergarten to year 10.
From next year, Year 11 and 12 students can also study the languages – a positive move, according to University of Sydney Indigenous education lecturer John Hobson.
"There are quite a few people who want to progress to studying it in their HSC, but that hasn't been possible and now it is, so that's a great thing," Mr Hobson told Mamamia.
He said the majority of students who studied Aboriginal languages were non-Indigenous and developed a greater appreciation of Indigenous culture, which they often shared with their families.
Mr Hobson – director of the university's graduate indigenous education program, which trains Aboriginal people to teach their languages – says the study of Aboriginal languages also has wider benefits.
"A lot of schools when they implement Aboriginal language programs allow Indigenous students to get a head start for reasons of cultural sensitivity," he said.
"It allows them to become the experts, gives them status within the school and ensures they don't feel disenfranchised in terms of their culture. Then, the schools open up the course to everyone else.
"Those schools report better reconciliation outcomes and improved self-esteem for Indigenous students, which bleeds through to their other subjects.

"It can also lead to a greater appreciation of Indigenous culture and the improved status of Aboriginal people in the town, so it's really a win-win."
The course is a content-endorsed court, so will not count towards a student's ATAR score. But it means that, unlike the more structured language courses, students who haven't previously studied Aboriginal languages can pick up the subject in their HSC.
About 19 of the 35 Aboriginal languages across the state are being taught in schools, and more than 100 dialects. The course syllabuses are developed in consultation with local indigenous communities.
Mr Hobson said, like many second languages, there were limited practical opportunities for students to apply their Aboriginal language skills, but studies found learning a second language improves brain functioning and academic capability.
NSW Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Leslie Williams said: "This course will aid Aboriginal young people to become the future custodians and caretakers of their languages and empower them to maintain a strong sense of identity."
"For non-Aboriginal young people it will provide them with a deeper understanding of the world's oldest living culture," Mrs Williams said.
Out of the 35 Aboriginal languages across the state, about 19 – and more than 100 dialects – are being taught across NSW.
In Victoria, more than 1000 students are learning indigenous languages, including in VCE.

So I know that there shouldn't be any shame when it comes to reading and I know that it's impossible to read every book ever published and I tell people this all the time….. BUT…… I still feel shameful that there are so many amazing sequels that I am excited for but I haven't read the book before it or in some cases haven't even started the series!
I wonder if you can spot the theme here…. 80% are the first in the series.
And now the shameful list of series I am excited for but need to do some serious catching up in order to read these!
There are more books that I am excited for but even this list is a bit overwhelming. Guess I better start reading.

Postal Worker's Vacation Causes Halt In Mail Delivery For Some In Jersey City
Residents Furious Over Sub's Excuses For Not Completing Appointed Rounds August 22, 2012 at 7:06 pm

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – The unofficial motto of the U.S. Postal Service reads: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
But that motto says nothing about what happens when a mail carrier goes on vacation.
Residents of a Jersey City apartment building said when their letter carrier took a week off, so did their mail delivery.
"There's actually more than one letter that I was expecting that I am yet to receive," Matt Gottlieb told CBS 2's Christine Sloan.
Gottlieb and the other residents of the 60-unit building had their mail delivery temporarily halted because the post office could not find a key to the building and the substitute letter carrier could not get into the building.
"I think it's ridiculous because they're supposed to be doing their job," Gottlieb said.
The post office said the substitute carrier notified a manager on Saturday that the key to the building was missing.
"We apologize for the interruption of mail delivery. We're still looking into the problem," U.S. Postal Service spokesman George Flood told Sloan.
But for the residents of the building, there won't be any quick answers.
"Unfortunately, the carrier that was delivering mail last week is on vacation so we haven't been able to determine the exact number of days that mail delivery was interrupted," Flood told Sloan.
The post office said employees have to make every effort to deliver the mail.
Residents finally started getting mail after the building superintendent delivered the key to the post office after finding out they had lost it.
"Somebody should have done something about it it's not an excuse there is no excuse," Jersey City resident Susanne De La Cruz told Sloan.
The post office is waiting for the substitute letter carrier to come back from vacation to figure out just what happened.
What would you do if you mail delivery suddenly stopped? Share your comments below.


Drones are an important new tool for the fire service and have already proven their ability to save lives. Willingness to embrace drones (or unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs]) for fire applications varies widely by department, and it's not just larger departments that are making the investment. Some smaller departments are investing in drones in a big way, even as some larger departments are reticent.
11Alive spent some time with Dan Parker, a pilot for the Atlanta Drone Group.
"We do work in film and T.V.," he said. "We do live broadcasting for news." Parker is a licensed commercial drone pilot. "As someone who wants to do this correctly and legally, seeing people do things somewhat rogue and against the rules and, uh, dangerous - it's frowned upon," he said.
Fire departments have a new tool at their disposal in determining the fastest way to put out a fire: drones. Unmanned aerial vehicles are being sent to fire locations as scouts, using gas sensors and cameras with thermal imaging technology to help first responders in their rescue efforts.
In the right place at the right time. That was the exact circumstance for Dusty Birge on a hot July afternoon, nearly two weeks ago. Birge was a passing motorist after a train sparked a fire July 6 just east of Otis, and igniting several fires to nearly Platner.
During the efforts to contain the fire, a passing motorist, Dusty Birge of SkyFire Consulting and UAV Recon, stopped to ask the AVFD if he could use his drone to assist in locating hot spots. Akron crews quickly obliged, and the drone, equipped with a thermal imaging camera, was used to check for hot spots after the fire was fully contained.
"Ultimately, its resources are endless," Detective Jared Fravell of the Investigations Division said. "It's just an extension of law enforcement itself." One of the department's six pilots, Patrol Deputy Darren Onwiler, demonstrated the drone's payload capability as he steered it to an officer in a pickup truck and dropped a life jacket. Onwiler also maneuvered the drone near a utility tower and zoomed in for a close-up view of bolts as he operated the machine from a screen-equipped controller.
"I had literally just gotten a Phantom 2 the day before," Sloane recalled in a telephone interview, referring to the popular, small quadcopter made by DJI that helped create a consumer unmanned aircraft systems industry. After the program, four fire chiefs approached Sloane asking for help integrating unmanned aircraft into their emergency response arsenal. Sloane got hold of his friend Ben Kroll, a CFI and Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot with thousands of hours logged.
The UAV, an Inspire 1 model manufactured by SZ DJI Technology Company was purchased with a recent $10,000 gift from RESCUE ONE Foundation. The drone was outfitted with two swap-out upgrades: a high-resolution camera and a FLIR infrared camera. The drone can carry a payload of two pounds, making it capable of ferrying a small first aid kit or portable radio to a victim who can't be reached from the ground.
The Matrice 200 flagship model, available right now, is single-camera, dual-battery, and IP43 weather resistant. The battery system is fully enclosed, which means heat from the battery will help keep the drone warm, and improves performance in cold weather. The drone flies for up to 40 minutes, and also has an on-board FPV camera, for looking forward to see where the drone is facing.
The suburbs of Decatur, Georgia host the typical daytime scene. Families relax inside, couples walk their impatient dog along the regular neighborhood route, and kids joyously run up and down the sidewalks along South McDonough Street. But at one address, a growing plume of smoke rises, jolting this peaceful community into full alarm.
Consulting companies have already sprung up to help departments in all 50 states. SkyFire Consulting is owned and operated by former public safety officials to help local agencies with training, and certification with drones. The company also promises to help obtain a blanket COA from the FAA to operate in restricted zones.
Tippecanoe County Sheriff Barry Richard told the Journal & Courier Tuesday that he is poised to spend $18,000 on a drone helicopter for the sheriff's office. By Friday, however, Richard revised his statement, saying, "That's depending on what equipment we end up with and the training costs.
Despite its unique offerings, Erdberg says his potential civilian commercial clients are still not in tune with the advantages of a tethered platform for certain situations. To help showcase DAC's tethered platform capabilities, Erdberg has formed a partnership with Skyfire, a UAV consulting firm that serves emergency responders. "We thought they would be a great partner to get our product into the hands of first responders," he says. Erdberg has also held discussions with first responder groups in Florida and Georgia.
In the future, Wymer is hoping to use the unmanned aircraft in less picturesque settings – supporting Wayne Township firefighters in all kinds of situations, from hazardous material spills to search-and-rescue operations. Wymer is one of seven Wayne Township firefighters who were trained to fly the department's two new drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles. Capt. Mike Pruitt, the department's spokesman, said Wayne Township is the first fire department in Indiana to use drones.
After time spent at DAC's facility in Florida, the Skyfire team agreed to educate and explain the tethered system to its firefighting-consulting clients. In addition to training and education on specific platforms, the consulting group also helps to highlight potential government grants or funding options available to first responders for the purchase of UAS.
Matt Sloane is the CEO of the Atlanta Drone Group. He works with hundreds of police and fire agencies across the country, teaching first responders about the benefits of drones.
"Once you put a drone with a camera attached into the air, it gives you a different perspective on everything," says Sloane.
A key attraction at SHOT Show every year is the Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP), which features presentations on the application of technology and training methods, and the latest strategies for successful response and engagement on scene. As part of the session titled Counter Ambush: Care Under Fire, the use of drones for surveillance, tracking and delivery of materials was addressed.
To help win their war against wildfires, state and federal departments are turning to drone missions for reconnaissance and data gathering. The California Air National Guard, for example, is using a military grade UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), called the MQ-9 Reaper, at both the Mendocino Complex and Carr fires. The drone captures live video of the blaze from 20,000 feet and can stay in the air for hours, identifying where the fire is spreading.
Skyfire Consulting, a public safety drone consulting company, has teamed up with Sporty's Pilot Shop to develop a drone Christmas tree ornament. Made from hard resin, Skyfire's drone ornament is modeled after a consumer-style drone.

Report: Trevor Daley open to trade to Stanley Cup contender
Mark Falkner
Detroit Red Wings defenseman Trevor Daley is open to be traded to a Stanley Cup contender, according to NBC analyst Pierre McGuire.
"I talked to Trevor before the game last night and he said he would be amenable to being moved," McGuire said on Ottawa TSN 1200 on Thursday.
"I know he's talked to Steve Yzerman about a trade. I could see Dallas where he started his career being very interested and I could see Colorado being very interested and (NBC color commentator) Eddie Olcyzk brought up Vegas on our show last night. I can see three teams in the Western Conference being very interested."
Daley, 36, is in the final year of a three-year contract worth $3,166,666 this year. He has four assists (including two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 loss against the Wild) in 26 games in an injury-riddled season.
"Trevor Daley has no time left on his contract and he's won two Stanley Cups both with Pittsburgh," McGuire said. "He was a really important part of those two Cup teams. He's more of a puck mover and a guy that can still jump into the rush. He had two assists last night and I thought he played a really solid game."
McGuire said Detroit's players and coaches are going through "an amazingly difficult exercise" with an NHL-worst record of 12-35-4.
"They know they're doomed in terms of where their season is going to be," McGuire said. "Most of them are trying to instill a certain brand of hockey that they want to play this year and Steve Yzerman has had a lot to say about that as he should."

McGuire said while this year's team is on pace for a historically bad season, he feels there is hope with potential prospects in the system.
"I think Detroit is going to turn the corner pretty quick when they do turn the corner," McGuire said. "If they win the lottery, they're going to get a generational player so that could really speed up the development.
"You look at Moritz Seider, who is playing in the American Hockey League. He's ready for prime time. You look at Jared McIsaac. He's close to being ready for prime time. You look at Joe Veleno. He needs another year in the American League but he's going to be a solid pro player. You add at Zadina and going down the line and they're going to have some significant draft picks this summer."
McGuire said Zadina, who scored two goals against the Wild, is "still a one-dimensional player" and will likely be a 25-30 goal scorer.
"He had 44 goals in Halifax and you can usually translate those numbers, especially for a guy who can really hammer the puck," McGuire said. "It doesn't take him very long to get it off his stick. You're not taking that player for checking or to defend a lead or try to generate forecheck pressure. You're taking that player because he's a gunner on the power play and on five-on-five situations. He's not a complete player."

Photos from ten years ago Toxic Custard newsletter transport
Old photos from March 2007
Post date Wed 15 March 2017
4 Comments on Old photos from March 2007
Another in my series of ten year old photos: March 2007.
Smartbus advertising at Caulfield station. It was nice to see them promoting the frequent service, but there was only one problem: it wasn't true. The Smartbus serving Caulfield (route 900) has never been better than every 15 minutes in peak. (And really, the frequency/radio thing is a bit lame.)
The Town Hall tram stop in Collins Street. Yes, even back then, the entrance ramp was a bottleneck at busy times. Note the canvas roller for the destination displays – these days they're all LEDs.
Train bingo at Richmond – tracks to/from platforms 2, 3, 4 and 5 have trains. Back then, Richmond's platforms and ramps were largely uncovered. More shelter was added in 2015.
Delays on platform 5 at Flinders Street. As I recall, it was a stinking hot day.
Glenhuntly station, then my local for some days of the week. A Comeng train crosses while a Z3-class tram waits. Despite the current level crossing removal program, this hasn't changed – trams still wait while trains crawl across.
Also Glenhuntly; a Comeng train on platform 2, while a Siemens train arrives on platform 1. The earlier Siemens liveries were pretty ugly, but the Connex version was quite pleasing to the eye, I thought.
The Railway Museum at Williamstown, from a visit that month. Who is, or was Bill Bragg? Presumably not related to Billy Bragg the singer. I don't know – searching Google didn't find any answers. Anybody know?
Also at the Railway Museum. I've been visiting since I was a kid. In many ways it hasn't changed much.
Flinders Street station; delays on platform 8.
In 2008 I used this photo to compare to an old one from the same angle, and The Age subsequently reprinted them.
Another angle at Flinders Street, on the same day, in the mirror.
Back at Glenhuntly, what a surprise, someone is queuing where they shouldn't.
Something you never see anymore: the marker for a wheelchair to board a 3-car train. 3-car trains were the bane of evening and weekend travellers, resulting in horrible crowding at times. Nowadays they're almost all 6-cars all the time.

Interesting photo of the people waiting on the platform. Mobile phones were already a thing but not a fully-functional internet device. People were more focused on the newspapers they probably got given on the street.
Stevesays:
And the one-carriage trains at night, where only the front carriage was lit and available for passengers. Not sure when that disappeared.

The extra roofing at Richmond has certainly helped, as did the extra destination indicator screens installed a little earlier (although they did not install any minutes to all destinations screens at the city end of platforms 7&8, which is very annoying for people arriving from the Burnley Group and wanting to change to the Caulfield group or Sandringham line).
The angle of the photo and the appearance lengthening effect of the new shelters makes it look a bit like the ramps were shorter back then. Also a minor correction, the ramps at the Swan St end have always been fully enclosed.
