The Kirkwall Ba Game is one of the main annual events held in the town of Kirkwall, in Orkney, Scotland. It is one of a number of Ba Games played in the streets of towns around Scotland; these are examples of traditional football games which are still played in towns in the United Kingdom and worldwide. The two sides are the Uppies and the Doonies. Originally the side any individual played on was decided by whether he was born up or doon the gate, but with recent housing developments, this tends to be decided by family loyalties nowadays. Which side ferrylowpers (incomers) and people from the isles or rural areas take is either determined by the route taken on their first arrival in Kirkwall, by family influence, or by the side their friends play on. http://www.acornconcepts.com / http://www.virtualorkney.com

Strange fantasy creature has some wise advice for us when our stress level starts to rise…. Don’t sweat the petty things, and don’t pet the sweaty things. Humor for home or the office.

Here’s yet another illustration from “Snow Man Is My Friend.” More than any of the others, I think this is the one that scared away publishers. Pretty straight-forward stuff. No trees, now cute snow man, no metaphor, it is what it is. I like it. I think it’s solid, but it certainly isn’t your average picture book illustration.

Our world is melting and its getting pretty hot,this cute design still has a strong message
BETTER VIEWED LARGER / The historic Cockatoo island is the largest in Sydney Harbour and dates back to the early days of the colony On 3 February 1847, Gother Kerr Mann was appointed Civil Engineer in charge of construction of a dry dock at Cockatoo Island, with construction commencing during that year. Delays occurred due to lack of funding, however the foundation stone of its ashlar lining was laid on 5 June 1854 by Governor FitzRoy after the dock had been excavated by convict labour to a depth of 52 feet below the land surface. It was initially 316 feet in length and 76 feet in breadth, with an entrance 60 feet wide. The first sailing vessel to use the dock was HMS Herald between 1-7 December 1857, at which point the facility was not yet complete. The Austrian frigate Novara made use of it during November of 1858, at which time the dock was under the control of the Department of Lands and Public Works (from 26 August 1856 to 30 September 1859, John Robertson MLA, Secretary). Sutherland Dock, completed in 1890, has a direct and lengthy association with NSW`s maritime history, Australia`s naval relationship with its allies, and Australia`s naval development, particularly during the First and Second World Wars. It is one of the nation`s most important former graving docks and has great historical significance. At the time of its opening, Sutherland was said to be the biggest dry dock in the world. It was one of Australia`s greatest engineering projects (and remained the nation`s largest dry dock until 1945), and therefore has considerable technological significance. It also reflects good design and construction qualities. Further, the original caisson and its distinctive mechanism are still extant. / See More From the Cockatoo Island Series / Cockatoo Island Series
