The first European discovery of coal at Newcastle came in 1791 through escaping convicts, then officially in 1797 when Lt John Shortland collected coal on his first trip to the harbour. 

Manufacturing Director Peter Lowther says “the strong sales growth of the marine grade stainless steel security mesh testifies to the suitability of 445M2 for this application. We provide a superior product for our customers, which uses the strength of the 445M2 to give an unobstructed view from comfort and security. The boys in the tool room love it – they don’t see the tools as often as they used to!”

But some of the most striking images mingle beauty, tragedy and even horror. We glimpse a young man in a body bag, one of thousands of migrants gone missing in South Africa. A South Carolina man, hand to his face, is battered by the winds and storm clouds of Hurricane Florence.

Probably the most state of the art information has come from a paper presented at the prestigious PDA Symposium and BBQ in Alcova, Wyoming by one, R. Guerricabeitia, sheepherder.

It was a fine western Kansas mornin’. J.T. made two passes around the wheat field before the sun burned off the moisture. He parked the 930 Case with the New Holland round baler and decided he could make it to Winona just in time for coffee shop communion.

For the type of products that Heunis Steel manufactures there is an obvious call for press work. In this department they have a number of eccentric Caxton type presses. Brackets, holderbats, stopends and other types of components are produced on these machines

As I sit staring at the healed fracture on my x-ray, as the doctor guides my hand to the corresponding place on my lower back and I feel, yes, a tiny calcified lump, a frozen pea beneath the skin, I am struck by the strangeness of it all. We think we know our bodies, these shells of blood and muscle and tissue and bone, but they lead lives of their own, they keep secrets from us. We inhabit them but they remain unknowable, elusive, brave, carrying on with the business of living, despite our accidents and choices and incursions and foolishnesses.

Iconic singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ronnie Spector absolutely loves Christmas, and she’ll ring in the holiday season once again when her spirited multi-media show Ronnie Spector’s Best Christmas Party Ever! comes to City Winery. Ronnie Spector’s Best Christmas Party Ever! is a raucous, rocking, and intoxicating blend of her Christmas classics, Ronettes hits including "Be My Baby," (recently named by Billboard Magazine as the #1 Greatest Girl Group Song of All Time) "Walking In The Rain," "Baby I Love You", cult gems from her back catalog, a splash of doo–wop, and plenty of Ronnie’s inimitable off–the–cuff commentary. As The New York Daily News said "Go and experience the ultimate sonic stocking stuffer!"
