We've been so fortunate with rain lately that the garden has literally flourished over night. The radishes are all ready for eating but I can't bring myself to pull all of them up at one time.
Brandon started staking the peas last night but it proved a little more cumbersome than expected. There are still 12 plants to go!
All of the zucchini plants are doing great. No blossoms yet but I can tell already we are going to have a high yield. I cannot wait. There is nothing I love cooking more than zucchini. The possibilities are endless. My favorite is lasagna made with zucchini noodles. To die for.
This is our first year using a grow bag. We've got about six sweet potato slips planted. The bag should harvest about 16 lbs.
A local brewery that we love, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, is going to brew a community-hopped IPA. Brandon is taking part in this program and is growing hops between our grow bed and the fence.
This really shows just how high the Hops will be growing!
This post wouldn't be complete without mentioning something I've been really excited about. It's possible that I'm a 70-year-old trapped in a 20-year-old's body…I really love to bird watch. I can't help it. I find them fascinating. Much to my delight, a robin has nested in one of my geranium plants on the front porch.
On the baby front, Brandon had the lucky task of painting a changing table gifted to us by our good friend, Tom.
It's been a busy couple of weeks, and I am feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for our friends and family and their love for our baby boy.
We've been so busy lately that we have failed on snapping pics of 24 weeks and 25 weeks. Hopefully sometime this week it will happen!
Garden is fully planted. The newbie vegetable we are trying this year is green peas. I'm so excited. I have no idea what to expect (except for some horror stories about crows and other birds loving to eat all of the peas before you get to them!) I'm determined to eat fresh green peas from my garden. And sweet potatoes. We haven't tried them before either. I ordered one of those fancy grow bags that is supposed to make it easier and better provide the ideal growing environment. I ordered the slips (5 of them) but they won't come until sometime later this month. I know my parents will be excited if I really yield the 16 lbs the bag promises (apparently they eat A LOT more of them than we do).
My wonderful mother spent all day Saturday spoiling both me and the baby. We now have the bedroom curtains (white with embroidered polka dots) and crib sheets and bed skirt ordered. My mother was so very patient with me when we went to the dreaded Babies 'R' Us (dreaded only because I found it overwhelming) but the registry is now pretty much complete. I had no idea how many things babies needed (or we assume they need…I mean they really just need food, shelter and love) or how expensive baby things were. It's enough to send any pregnant woman into a panic.
Today my wonderful father is spending his birthday afternoon putting up crown molding in the baby's room. I get way too excited about crown molding. Seriously.
It is all coming together and I'm finally able to chill out a little bit. There must be something inherent in the desire to have the baby room all put together long before the baby comes. I know we still have a few months but I just really need it ready. I think it's part of how I'm processing all of the changes that are about to take place.
Last but not least….Jacob's new favorite lounging spot is right on top of my stomach. The best part of this – my wonderful husband who panics about every little thing now that I'm pregnant – keeps trying to redirect Jacob somewhere else…afraid he will hurt the baby. I think Jacob just thinks I've now got a built in pillow for him where he can easily perch and scope out the rest of the room.
In the last week we started our annual vegetable garden.
The first year we tried a garden we were in a rental house. The yard was nothing to speak of and the soil was not that great. We had a tiny area to the side of our screened-in porch to work with. We had to dig out piles of bricks that were buried in the ground in order to have a place we could work with for planting. In the midst of a long, hot day of digging our neighbor had even come over to poke fun at our attempt at a vegetable garden. It was obvious we had no idea what we were doing.
The garden was not much to speak of. The cucumbers came out looking alien. The tomatoes were quickly devoured by the bunny rabbits that frequented our yard. The spinach was wilted the minute it sprouted. Other than the few tomatoes we were able to claim for a batch of tomato sauce, it wasn't a fruitful garden.
The next year we bought our current house. We had higher hopes. Brandon and our friend Jay dug out a plot of land. They used scrap wood to build a raised border. They fenced it in with plastic netting to keep the dogs out. We planted tomatoes, zucchini and herbs. The tomatoes were fruitful but the garden was still something we didn't completely understand. We were learning slowly.
The next year we went to prepare the bed and dug our hands into a rich, dark soil. Brandon added manure and we planted tomatoes, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, lettuce, herbs and radishes. We had a bountiful harvest even in a really hot, dry summer. Sure, we had an aphid infestation at the end of the growing season and the dogs found their way into the garden bed several times. But, we plugged away.
This year the garden has taken on a whole different meaning. We are scaling back and prioritizing what vegetables we can really use and freeze. We are adding a grow bag of sweet potatoes into the mix. We are using a taller fence to keep the dogs out. We are still going all organic and letting nature run its course. There will be bugs and there will be really, really hot and dry days this summer. Some of the vegetables will prosper and some will come out only adequate. And we will learn some more.
This garden has become a labor of love. It's a place we connect and share. It's something we've committed ourselves to since we got married. We've come a long way from those crooked cucumbers that tasted like battery acid. We've learned quite a bit about our individual strengths. Brandon takes joy and pride in the building, the digging and the planting. I take pride in the weeding, the harvesting and the research.
Our garden has been a place for us to share. And this season I'll be pulling weeds with a very pregnant belly and we'll be preparing and learning for a completely new adventure. The love and excitement I have for this place we share will only grow.
Next year our boy will be running his hands through our dark, rich soil. He'll get to experience the satisfaction of pulling a tomato right off of the vine. Our boy will taste food grown from his own backyard and I will have the biggest, cheesiest grin.

Hendersonville outlasts Asheville High
Hendersonville's (2-1) battle at Asheville (1-2) on Friday night was a feisty, back-and-forth scoring palooza that could've went either way.
Hendersonville outlasts Asheville High Hendersonville's (2-1) battle at Asheville (1-2) on Friday night was a feisty, back-and-forth scoring palooza that could've went either way.

Hendersonville outlasted Asheville High 47-40 on Sept. 6 (Photo: Angela Wilhelm/Asheville Citizen Times)
But in the end, it was the Bearcats' composure and resilience that guided the squad to a 47-40 victory on Asheville's home turf.
The game was so intense that Asheville Coach David Burdette declared he was "emotionally drained" afterwards.
"That back and forth is great for the fans," he said. "For the football coaches, our nerves get a little shattered."
Entering the fourth quarter, Asheville was ahead 40-34, thanks to a Herculean effort by wide receiver and running back Justin Campbell, who had already scored three touchdowns and finished with a combined 111 yards.
Then Hazhan Collington, who had already nabbed a touchdown on an 81 yard kickoff return, put his foot down.
"My teammates told me to keep pushing through," said the Hendersonville sophomore. "And when they tell me to push through I do."
On the heels of Campbell's final touchdown, Collington notched two consecutive first downs. A few plays later, he willed his way into the end zone to give Hendersonville a pivotal 41-40 lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
Then came the Asheville turnovers.
The possession after Collington's touchdown, Asheville fumbled. Although the Cougars managed to force a Hendersonville punt, Asheville then fumbled the ball again on the return, positioning its opponent only 19 yards from the end zone.
Collington got the Bearcats within scoring distance, and with 3:47 remaining in the game, Caleb Greene, who led his team with three touchdowns, snuck his way into the end zone.
"We gave them too many chances," said Burdette. "You can't fumble the ball right there. We've got to get more mentally focused."
The fumbles weren't the only issue. Throughout the game, Asheville lost 115 yards on 14 penalties, more than double Hendersonville's 50 yard penalty losses.
With less than a minute left, Asheville had one more chance to even the score. But those efforts were thwarted by an Alex Lemmens interception.
"When he got the interception it was like boom, game over," said Collington. "We ran the clock out and got the game over with."
Asheville will try for redemption next week when it faces T.C. Roberson (0-3) at home in a WMAC opener. Meanwhile, Hendersonville will travel to take on an undefeated Newton-Conover (2-0) squad.
"We'll get better so long as our attitude is great on Monday," said Burdette. "That'll be the key thing: how we respond to this."

Interracial relationships are becoming more and more common in today's melting pot society, but they are still far from over-defined. This means that things can get confusing and complicated along the way when dating outside your race. For a white guy dating a black woman, the bottom line is that it is just like any other relationship – it will have its ups and downs. However, the ups and downs are more complicated and the lines are more blurred.
Race and nationality shouldn't be such an issue when dating. But it is. Welcome to society. So there are things that white guys need to keep in mind once they've won the affection of a black girl.
Number one thing for white guys to remember – dating a black woman doesn't make them black as well. In fact, she'll be embarrassed if you start pretending you're black, so don't. A big point in the whole thing that you're not black is that you will never really understand the racial issues she's faced. White guys need to take race with sensitivity.
Going off that point, it is really important that white guys acknowledge black racism. Black women aren't stupid – they know they're treated differently in society and especially have been in the past. For this reason, white guys need to be empathetic when dating a black girl. Never deny racism and always see it from her point of view – she has a much greater understanding of it than you!
Ok, she's black. And sure, this may have been a big draw card in the initial attraction. But as the relationship progresses, you will start to see her who she is – beyond her skin colour. This is really important to focus and important to remind her of as well. She will feel much more appreciated when you compliment and acknowledge her for things that are beyond her physical appearance. In saying that, a few comments about how much you love her black body won't hurt either!
As a white guy dating a black girl, you've joined her minority. She is a societal minority, and this is something that shouldn't be ignored. White guys are actually least likely to marry outside their race, so welcome to the minority. Just enjoy being part of it with her.
White guys are, historically speaking, the most privileged race. This means that they haven't had to deal with a lot of societal judgement. When dating a black girl, society is gong to have something different to say. People are going to stare at you in public and perhaps even give you disapproving looks for holding your black woman's hand. Love may be blind, but society isn't. You and your partner just have to find a way to deal with these judgements. And odds are, you're going to be happy dating a black woman so you won't really care at the end of the day.

Ryan, Jimmy: The Healing Guitar
Talk about truth in advertising. Chicago's usually high-flyin' guitarist Jimmy Ryan dials back the intensity to spa-day levels for this 50-minute excursion into reflective and relaxing instrumental electric guitar music. Ryan, perhaps best known as one-half of the jazz-rock fusion duo Flyin' Ryan Brothers, plays guitar and bass and is joined by Dan van Schindel on drums and percussion. Recorded in Chicago, the first four songs -- highlighted by the slow-burning "Alphaville," which emerges as the most compelling song here -- represent a new side of Ryan and showcase his talent as a pure musician and not just a "guitar guy."
Nowhere is that more evident than on the fifth and final track of this unexpected collection. "The Healing Guitar In Nature Suite" clocks in at almost 29 minutes and is comprised of the preceding four studio tracks -- "Walden," "Twilight," "Alphaville" and "Equinox" -- that merge into each other, along with an additional track titled "Continuum" that previously was thought lost. Producer Tom Salvatori "has creatively woven all five of these tracks into an ambient nature journey with wonderful background sound effects … starting with morning songbirds in a field, moving on to a visit to the ocean with sounds of surf, seagulls and children playing on the beach, and then ending in an evening field teeming with crickets, birds and even the hoot of a late-night barn owl," according to information Ryan and Salvatori provided with the album's release. The result is a moving piece that enhances the album's overall effect.
After listening to this, I feel like I just received an aural massage.

The lake has a rare machine that won't be found at many camps, the Ski Carousel. You sit in a tube that is attached to a rope that will pole you around in a circular motion. As you a flying around in circles you can try to do barrel rolls with the tube or you can choose to ride the tube till the ride is over. This activity is available for the summer camps only, but join in the best Christian Church retreats, Illinois or Wisconsin, any time of year.
Our man-made, fresh water fed lake is a highlight of cool refreshing activity in the summer. Three distinct areas, the sand beach, the slide, and the boating area provide enough space so no one gets board. During activity periods the boating area is the scene for one of our most unique activities: the Ski Carousel. This powered ride is a way for kids to enjoy some speed on the water in a very controlled environment. The lake is available for groups up to 180 during scheduled lake times, Ski Carousel during activity periods is 6-18 people per 1.5 hour session.

Q: Encoding an image file with base64 I want to encode an image into a string using the base64 module. I've ran into a problem though. How do I specify the image I want to be encoded? I tried using the directory to the image, but that simply leads to the directory being encoded. I want the actual image file to be encoded.
EDIT
I tried this snippet:
with open("C:\Python26\seriph1.BMP", "rb") as f:
    data12 = f.read()
    UU = data12.encode("base64")
    UUU = base64.b64decode(UU)

    print UUU

    self.image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(UUU))

but I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 245, in run_nodebug
  File "C:\Python26\GUI1.2.9.py", line 473, in <module>
    app = simpleapp_tk(None)
  File "C:\Python26\GUI1.2.9.py", line 14, in __init__
    self.initialize()
  File "C:\Python26\GUI1.2.9.py", line 431, in initialize
    self.image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(UUU))
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1952, in open
    fp = __builtin__.open(fp, "rb")
TypeError: file() argument 1 must be encoded string without NULL bytes, not str

What am I doing wrong?

A: Its work for me
import base64
import requests

# Getting image in bytes
response = requests.get("image_url")

# image encoding
encoded_image = base64.b64encode(response.content)

# image decoding and without it's won't work due to some '\xff' error
decoded_image= base64.b64decode(encoded_image)

A: The first answer will print a string with prefix b'.
That means your string will be like this b'your_string' To solve this issue please add the following line of code.
encoded_string= base64.b64encode(img_file.read())
print(encoded_string.decode('utf-8'))

I have experienced this while converting Image to Base64 string. You can take a look at how I removed that from there also. Link is here Image to base64 string and fix 'b from prefix

A: import base64
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

with open("image.jpg", "rb") as image_file:
    data = base64.b64encode(image_file.read())

im = Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(data)))
im.save('image1.png', 'PNG')

A: I'm not sure I understand your question. I assume you are doing something along the lines of:
import base64

with open("yourfile.ext", "rb") as image_file:
    encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read())

You have to open the file first of course, and read its contents - you cannot simply pass the path to the encode function.
Edit:
Ok, here is an update after you have edited your original question.
First of all, remember to use raw strings (prefix the string with 'r') when using path delimiters on Windows, to prevent accidentally hitting an escape character. Second, PIL's Image.open either accepts a filename, or a file-like (that is, the object has to provide read, seek and tell methods).
That being said, you can use cStringIO to create such an object from a memory buffer:
import cStringIO
import PIL.Image

# assume data contains your decoded image
file_like = cStringIO.StringIO(data)

img = PIL.Image.open(file_like)
img.show()

A: Borrowing from what Ivo van der Wijk and gnibbler have developed earlier, this is a dynamic solution
import cStringIO
import PIL.Image

image_data = None

def imagetopy(image, output_file):
    with open(image, 'rb') as fin:
        image_data = fin.read()

    with open(output_file, 'w') as fout:
        fout.write('image_data = '+ repr(image_data))

def pytoimage(pyfile):
    pymodule = __import__(pyfile)
    img = PIL.Image.open(cStringIO.StringIO(pymodule.image_data))
    img.show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    imagetopy('spot.png', 'wishes.py')
    pytoimage('wishes')

You can then decide to compile the output image file with Cython to make it cool. With this method, you can bundle all your graphics into one module.

A: As I said in your previous question, there is no need to base64 encode the string, it will only make the program slower. Just use the repr
>>> with open("images/image.gif", "rb") as fin:
...  image_data=fin.read()
...
>>> with open("image.py","wb") as fout:
...  fout.write("image_data="+repr(image_data))
...

Now the image is stored as a variable called image_data in a file called image.py
Start a fresh interpreter and import the image_data
>>> from image import image_data
>>>

I am a strong believer in finding passion in a subject and not simply studying for the sake of passing an exam. I will do my best to ensure each student is genuinely enthusiastic about their work and find an angle that will genuinely interest them.


Cary, IL, USA — Coilcraft will introduce its new XGL4020 Series of high-performance, molded power inductors at the upcoming Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), March 17-21 in Anaheim, CA. The XGL4020 features the industry's lowest DC losses and extremely low AC losses for a wide range of DC-DC converters (from hundreds kHz up to 5+ MHz). Additional performance improvements include a wider range of inductance values and improved Irms current ratings.
The XGL4020 is available in twelve inductance values from 0.33 to 8.2 µH, with current ratings up to 15.2 Amps and soft saturation characteristics. It offers the lowest DC resistance currently available in the market – up to 45% lower than Coilcraft's next lowest soft-saturation products. The lower DCR and higher Irms also allow the XGL4020 to operate much cooler than other components.
XGL4020 Series inductors are qualified to AEC-Q200 Grade 1 standards (-40° to +125°C ambient) with a maximum part temperature of +165°C and exhibit no thermal aging issues, making them suitable for automotive and other harsh-environment applications. They feature RoHS-compliant, tin-silver-over-copper terminations and are halogen free. Their composite construction also minimizes audible buzzing.

A man torn between two worlds. Both need him...neither wants him.
Groomed for a life amongst the English aristocracy, Lord Erroll Rushton is unexpectedly thrust back into his father's Scottish world when the Englishwoman he compromises refuses to marry him.No gentleman breaks into a lady's bedchamber...but then, no lady sleeps with a pistol under her pillow. Miss Eve Crenshaw will marry for love or won't marry at all. When London's most notorious rakehell breaks into her bedchamber in the dead of night and compromises her beyond repair, Eve plans a daring escape that shocks even the Earl.
Tarah Scott's newest pair of mismatched aristocrats are an absolute delight!!!! Erroll is on a mission to once again remove his head from the marriage chopping block. Surprisingly enough this time he has neither compromised, nor met the lady in question who is accusing him of dastardly deeds. Unwilling to face the consequences of his falsely accused crimes, he decides to take matters in his own hands and confront the "lady" in question. Unfortunately, Erroll makes a slight miscalculation and ends up in more trouble than he bargained for.
Eve was a completely delightful character. The one thing that is consistent in all of Tarah's historicals is that the heroines are completely endearing, sassy, straight-forward, and absolutely enchanting. She takes the best loved traits out of this generation of strong women, blends them with believable historical accuracy, and this results in the perfect recipe for a show-stopping new generation historical romance! Eve was my favorite character, but I must confess that her father was a close second..lol. It is quite obvious where Eve got her personality from.
This book was a complete enchantment from start to finish. I loved the characters, the plot, the humor, and every little detail in between. The journey that ends in a fascinating dynamic between Eve and Erroll is one you do not not want to miss!!! I highly recommend this read to historical lovers everywhere!


Argh!! It's so hard to get going on a dark Monday morning, especially after a crazy busy weekend with virtually no down time! Even for someone who cooks a lot and usually looks forward to it, the prospect of coming up with something for dinner on days like these seems daunting. That's when I turn to comfort meals that can all be prepared in one pan without any fussy ingredients, like this wonderfully satisfying and make-in-half-an-hour, Creamy Chicken Spinach Bake. It'll recharge you, body and soul! I guarantee!!
This casserole combines so many things that I love and as usual, I'm going to tell you about them. First, the whole dish is topped with olive oil-drizzled, crunchy cubes of french bread, so with each bite you get a wonderful combination of crunchy topping and creamy filling!
Then there's the spinach and the way it adds so much flavor, texture and color and goes so well with all the other ingredients. Plus, I'm a little bit of a Popeye when it comes to the green stuff!!
And speaking of easy, can we talk about the fact that you can use leftover or rotisserie chicken for the filling which means you're not starting from scratch--a huge bonus when you're pressed for time. Plus if you like, you can also assemble this and then refrigerate it uncooked, a day head. Then you just have to add the bread, pop it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes and voila--dinner is served! It's enough to make you jump up and dance, if only you had the energy!
And if you're looking for comfort food, this ranks right up there with mac & cheese! Think moist bits of chicken covered in a light creamy garlic sauce with ribbons of tender spinach and the crunch of crisped French bread croutons. One bite and all is right with the world again!!!
1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Combine the bread and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium-sized bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
2. Into a medium pot, place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring, until completely wilted. Transfer to a colander and run cold water over it. Let drain and then squeeze out the excess water by handfuls over the sink. Chop coarsely and set aside.
3. Use the same pot but just wipe clean and add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and heat ver medium. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8-9 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the onion is softened. Add the wine and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the wine is almost totally evaporated. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 30 seconds. Then whisk in the half-and-half and the lemon juice and turn the heat up high to bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Remove from the heat and stir in the spinach and chicken. Season with salt and pepper and transfer the entire mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Top with the bread and bake for about 10 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and hot. Serve immediately.
5. The entire casserole, minus the bread topping can be made one day ahead and left unbaked but covered in the refrigerator. Before baking add the bread. You may need to cook it a bit longer if you don't first bring it to room temperature.

Papieska elekcja 25 listopada 1185 – papieska elekcja, która odbyła się po śmierci Lucjusza III i zakończyła wyborem Uberto Crivelliego, który przybrał imię Urban III.

Lista uczestników
Sędziwy papież Lucjusz III zmarł 25 listopada 1185 roku w Weronie. Prawdopodobnie Święte Kolegium liczyło wówczas 26 kardynałów, z czego 18 było obecnych przy śmierci Lucjusza III i wyborze jego następcy:

Nieobecni
Ośmiu kardynałów było nieobecnych. Kardynałowie rzymskiego pochodzenia (Paolo Scolari, Bobo, Giacinto Bobone, Ottaviano, Pietro de Bono) prawdopodobnie pozostali w Rzymie po opuszczeniu miasta przez Lucjusza III w 1184:

 Paolo Scolari (22 września 1179) – kardynał biskup Palestriny; archiprezbiter bazyliki liberiańskiej
 Pietro de Bono CanReg (18 grudnia 1165) – kardynał prezbiter S. Susanna

 Ottaviano di Paoli (18 grudnia 1182) – kardynał diakon Ss. Sergio e Bacco
 Gerardo CanReg (18 grudnia 1182) – kardynał diakon S. Adriano; wikariusz Rzymu

Czterech nieobecnych mianował Aleksander III, trzech Lucjusz III, jednego Adrian IV a jednego Lucjusz II.

Wybór Urbana III
Obecni w Weronie kardynałowie od razu w dniu śmierci Lucjusza III przystąpili do wyboru jego następcy. Jeszcze tego samego dnia jednogłośny wybór padł na kardynała Uberto Crivelli, od niedawna arcybiskupa Mediolanu. Elekt, zaliczający się do frakcji radykalnie antycesarskiej, przyjął wybór i przybrał imię Urban III. Mimo wyboru na Stolice Piotrową aż do śmierci pozostał także arcybiskupem Mediolanu, chcąc uniemożliwić w ten sposób pobieranie cesarzowi dochodów z tej archidiecezji przysługujących mu w czasie wakatu. Inauguracja pontyfikatu odbyła się 1 grudnia 1185.

Good news if you had Channing Tatum's long-gestating Gambit movie in your "Hollywood project in limbo most likely to actually happen" office pool: the thing's got a release date at last, and Tatum's card-flinging X-Men dreams are about to come true.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Fox film will drop February 14, 2019, hoping that the Valentine's Day holiday will be as kind to Gambit as it was to the overnight blockbuster Deadpool in 2016. As was previously reported—and after many other names came and departed—Gore Verbinski (who made the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies) is set to direct, and the project's most loyal champion, Channing Tatum, will star as New Orleans' most famous mutant son.
As THR notes, this announcement comes as Fox is about to unleash a whole lotta X-Men on the big screen, with three movies slated for 2018: New Mutants (April 13), Deadpool 2 (June 1), and X-Men: Dark Phoenix (Nov. 2).

Bury & Mountfort Architectural Plan: Supreme Court Building, Christchurch, 1864
One architectural plan by Benjamin Mountfort and Maxwell Bury showing a cell, court, corridor, entrance and sections from their first proposed design for the New (Supreme) Court House, Christchurch, 1864.
Bury & Mountfort
Two proposed designs for the Christchurch Supreme Court were produced by Benjamin Mountfort during his partnership with Maxwell Bury. The first, seen here, was largely influenced by Bury, but the second set was produced in 1867 after Bury had departed for England the year before. Both these designs were set aside in favour of Alexander Lean's design which was constructed in 1868 and demolished in 1980.

Gordon Brown has pressed David Miliband to cancel a trip to India as he prepares the way to reshuffle his Cabinet.
The Prime Minister has ordered a series of meetings with his most senior ministers at the start of next month as he seeks to restore his authority, The Times has learnt.
The meetings — which include two so-called political sessions of Cabinet and an awayday — indicate that Mr Brown could be planning to reshuffle his ministers within weeks.
What a choice. He faces the options of picking the least worst ministers from the current bunch – talk about a poison chalice!
Mr Brown faces an acute dilemma about what to do with Mr Miliband in the reshuffle, an event that was supposed to relaunch his administration next month.
Although Downing Street sources dismiss speculation that he would appoint Mr Miliband as his Chancellor, thus binding him still more closely to the Government's fortunes, one ally said that this was among options under consideration. The senior figure added, however, that the "nuclear option" of dismissing Mr Miliband had not been discounted.
Fun though it is to see the weasels fighting in the sack, I wonder if this could really harm Labour irreparably, as many bloggers seem to think? Ross at Unenlightened Commentary thinks not:
"The other reason why I think Labour will survive is because a lot of their current problems stem from the uniquely awful personality of Gordon Brown."
That's borne out by some of the callers to the Milibland interview on Radio 2 yesterday, who seem to view Brown as the lightning rod for all the Labour Party's troubles.
Which begs the question – do they not realise that the pretenders to the throne are all probably equally to blame for the current state of the party and also likely to be far worse as leader than Brown?
Labels: Gordon Brown's fall from grace, politicians
patently said...
A year ago, Blair was the lightening rod. Get rid of "B.liar" and the Iraq legacy and Labour is decontaminated, went the argument.
Now, it's Brown ... plus ca change. Maybe if Milliband takes his turn as the lightning rod next year, people will realise what was the common factor in all three?
