McKale Memorial Center is an athletic arena located at 1756 E University Blvd on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. It is primarily used for basketball, but also features state-of-the-art physical training and therapy facilities. Its construction is marked with a large copper cap that has turned brown over time. McKale Center is home to the University of Arizona Wildcats basketball team. The arena opened in February 1973 and has a capacity of 14,545 spectators. It hosted the 1988 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball tournament.
The McKale Center was named in honor of J.F. "Pop" McKale, athletic director and coach of all sports at the University of Arizona for a time, a figure at the university from 1914 to 1957. McKale was head basketball coach of Arizona from 1914 to 1921, where he recorded a 49-12 record.
McKale is also credited with giving the university its mascot, the Wildcats. McKale coached the 1914 school football team that played a tough game against California champions Occidental College on Thanksgiving Day, where the press deemed the Arizona team "Wildcats", and McKale ensured that the nickname remained.
The University of Arizona is in the Pacific-12 Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

The only mulit-word country to begin with a vowel is United Arab Emirates (UAE) so it must go in cell C5. See the game note about East Timor.
2014: 365-2 REFLECTION: Four years ago I made a new year's resolution that I was going to meet new friends and follow where God led me. I was looking to meet some "girl" friends as all my friends that are girls live far away. On January 2nd four years ago, I decided to go on a photo walk with some other photographers. Not knowing that any guys would be on this walk. I remember clearly seeing Brian walk up and thinking sarcastically "Great what is this guy doing here?" I didn't think anymore of it as I moved through the museum taking pictures. I was standing in one room looking at a picture and I heard a voice audibly saying "IT'S HIM! HE'S HERE!" I looked around and no one was even near me... I was hearing things in my head. Again I heard a voice audibly saying "IT'S HIM! HE'S HERE!" I turned a full 360 degrees and the only other person in the room was Brian. I shook it off and walked away clearly avoiding HIM.
Later that day as we were walking the downtown streets I stopped to take a picture, Brian said something to me about a setting on my camera. He reached out to grab my camera and I was literally transported back in time. Like a movie reel playing out in black and white, I was sitting on a porch in the western days watching HIM (Brian) get off a horse and walk toward me. This vision back in time lasted less than a split second It was enough to shake me and I yanked my hand back, thanked him kindly and skedaddled away from him.
I truly believe it was our souls connecting. I just wasn't willing to listen that closely at that time. Fast forward 5-6 months later and Brian and I were comparing stories and he told the same story of a flashback to the same time, only from his perspective... He was walking toward me in my prairie dress sitting on a porch in a rocking chair.
This is the ongoing story of us and our intertwined lives...stay tuned for more of the story...

Heading from Graskop to Phalaborwa we followed the advice of our hosts and visited Lisbon falls. The falls are wonderful and somehow nothing we expected on our way to Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Loved my shoot with Michaela a local singer this week and happy to post this one as my second shot of my 52 week project.
Thanks to Michaela for being such a great model and to Taharka for being a great lighting assistant.
