Poor Smokey doesn't get many photos... but neither does either of my Assa's. ^^; In fact uh, it looks like I haven't taken a photo of a Pullip in a very long time!

I found these identically dressed clones on the street this afternoon. They are all wearing clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch (as well as Hollister, a subsidiary company), the glasses, and grande or tall coffees from Starbucks. I showed this photo to a woman at a store they had just passed and we laughed.
Note, none of the guys are wearing green. No, I didn't want to pinch any of them.

Based loosely on this panal
Troilus and Cressida begins seven years into the long Trojan war. Troilus, the youngest son of King Priam (King of Troy) tells Pandarus that he is in love with Cressida, the daughter of Trojan priest Calchas. He does not want his father, King Priam nor his brother Hector to know this. He also believes fighting over Helen is pointless. Privately, Pandarus lets Cressida know about Troilus' affections, both laughing at his looks. Pandarus even encourages Troilus to pursue Cressida, knowing she is not interested... However, despite her mocking words, Cressida does start to fall in love with Troilus.
Time is like a fashionable host
That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
Grasps in the comer: welcome ever smiles,
And farewell goes out sighing.
Troilus and Cressida, 3. 3
As said in the title, but I still like this photo of him. :)
I am not here to tell my story of this sweet man I had spent time with for a very short while. Everything and everybody is a lesson learned.
All is super with me and I trust everybody is well too.

As an avid reader of 'Buses' magazine when young, one operator who intrigued me was the Moor-Dale Group from Newcastle.
It comprised three companies, these being Moor-Dale Coaches, Newcastle; Curtis of Dudley and R&M (Rochester & Marshall), Great Whittington.
Moor-Dale and Curtis seemed to operate contract, private hire and excursion & tours work while the rural R&M fleet was involved with stage carriage and schools work.
They all carried a common dark blue, red and white livery.
BBB 534V was a Bedford YLQ with Plaxton Supreme IV C45F coachwork and was one of fifteen new coaches delivered to the group for the 1980 season.
It is photographed in Blackpool around 1983.
As everyone knows, Singapore Airlines flight attendants are fucking hot. Kozy always wanted to get one of their uniforms, and found one for cheap in the crazy massive store (called Mustafa - thanks hizuan zailani). Here she is getting into the stewardess vibe.
As abrótegas son propias de monte de chan acedo e seco, convivindo con carrascos, toxos e xestas. Estas pequenas liliáceas de raíces engrosadas teñen sido usadas na medicina tradicional a causa da súa acción purgante, para o que se recolectan as súas raíces na primavera e se deixan secar. Ten unha acción diurética e resulta eficaz contra parasitos intestinais, problemas de próstata e infeccións urinarias.

A couple of yellow tulips stand together, with another patch of red tulips just off in the background. Photo taken in my neighbor's back yard this past weekend.
Like I said, I'm not good at taking flower photos. Nor, am I too sure about the cross processing I added here. But....in the spirit of Bokeh Wednesday, I decided to share this photo anyway.
HBW Everybody!!

Covering the muddy marsh, the falling tide caused the ice to act like a silky sheet. The male fox explored, and marked as territory, islands that were normally off limits. It was really fun to watch this guy.
The sound of the ice cracking was strange and occasionally startling. It sometimes sounded like a bird scream....

No início, as brumas permeavam pelo mundo, levando consigo sombra e escuridão àqueles que viviam o sono eterno. Tudo permanecia latente até a Voz surgir, dizendo em tom calmo e suave: “É a hora do seu despertar”.
Essa é a primeira memória, antes dela não existe nada. Desde aquele momento, ao abrir os olhos pela primeira vez, Alice está tentando encontrar a saída. Não, ninguém disse que existia uma saída, mas talvez o sentido da existência dela fosse buscá-la, era o que sentia em seu coração.
Naquele lugar ela não existia sozinha, porém sabia que estava sozinha em sua jornada. A cada ano o pesar do seu destino ficava mais e mais pesado. Alice não conseguiria chegar ao seu destino sem ajuda. Foi então que decidiu se encontrar com Ele, para ouvir a antiga voz desse Ser é preciso voltar às trevas, mas como o coração de Alice já estava cheio de desespero, só foi preciso fechar os olhos e mergulhar no abismo de seu inconsciente... Ele a ouviu, sendo assim ela fez o seu desejo, entretanto para que ele fosse realizado sua mente seria dividida em três e todas suas memórias ficariam bagunçadas.
A pequena garota aceitou o preço, ela voltaria para aquele lugar, embora somente depois de outro despertar. Ela encontraria o que desejou, mas não lembraria o seu desejo. Não se lembraria de nada, talvez somente de seu nome.
Às vezes, quando o nosso coração se enche de trevas, aceitamos qualquer pequena fonte de luz que aparecer em nossa frente, mesmo quando ela só servirá para iluminar todos os monstros ao nosso redor – antes escondidos dentro da escuridão.

As the enthusiasm for building canals gathered pace in the later part of the eighteenth century, various groups started putting forward proposals for canals to cross the barrier of the Pennines.
Plans for the Leeds and Liverpool canal were launched in 1766. Just six weeks later a group of businessmen met in the Union Flag Inn in Rochdale to propose a shorter route between Manchester and Leeds via Rochdale. James Brindley was commissioned to survey two routes: one via Bury and one more directly via Heywood.
However, nothing came from this original exploration. It wasn't until 1790 that a meeting was called in Hebden Bridge to discuss extending the Calder and Hebble Navigation westwards that momentum started to gather again.
Another meeting took place the following year in Rochdale to propose a link right through to the Bridgewater Canal in Manchester. Most of the money raised to back this plan came from the Rochdale area. The group suffered setbacks when the Duke of Bridgewater refused to allow the proposed canal to join onto the Bridgewater Canal, meaning the canal would terminate at Piccadilly, and in 1792 the Rochdale Canal Bill failed.
In the meantime, the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal Company proposed an extension eastwards which would have been known as the Bury and Sladen canal. This would run north of Rochdale to Chelburn near the Littleborough summit. The route considered from here would have involved a 4.8 mile tunnel taking a direct route towards Ripponden and Sowerby Bridge.
The Manchester, Bolton and Bury company linked into the Mersey and Irwell Navigation and was also considering a link to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The Duke of Bridgewater realised that if the Sladen plan became a reality, the trans-Pennine traffic from Yorkshire would by-pass his canal with a great loss of potential revenue, so he changed his mind and agreed for a junction between the Rochdale and the Bridgewater at Castlefield.
A revised Rochdale Canal Bill was passed in 1794 (the same year as the Huddersfield Canal Bill) and construction began.
By 1799 the canal was open between Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden and from Manchester to Rochdale. A proposed 1.6 mile tunnel between Walsden and Sladen was replaced by more locks and a higher summit level at 600 feet. The resulting shorter summit level meant that many reservoirs were required to prevent the summit level drying up and to maintain an available supply of water for the 92 locks.
Its The End Of The World As We Know It
R.E.M
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt
No strength the ladder starts to clatter with the fear, fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games with a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of West and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low playing! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Dummy with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light,
Feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
“To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing -- the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one's hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.”
― Marilynne Robinson,
.. but at least he's not a sociopathic liar..
This week, as part of a lawsuit, Hillary was forced by a Federal Court to answer 25 questions (in writing, and under oath) posed by Judicial Watch about her handling of her illegal email system.
I'm sure Judicial Watch crafted the questions as carefully as they could, but getting an honest answer out of either Clinton is like trying to squeeze a ham out of a tube of toothpaste.. It's just not gonna happen!
Out of 25 questions, she answered "at least" 21 with some version of she "did not recall".. The remaining questions that she actually answered must have been tough ones, like name, address, and zip code..
We may never find the smoking gun. She and her corrupt cronies are too well-protected by her wall of true believers, all taking turns throwing themselves under the bus to protect her.
But even without the smoking gun, you would think the stench of the overwhelming swamp of questionable dealings, back-room deals, accusations, dodging indictments, investigations, secrecy, lies, smarmy personal attacks, dirty tricks, deception, and mocking those they despise (and that's most of us).. At some point you would think that people would say enough is enough..
Look.. Donald Trump is no angel. But I'll take a plain-spoken ordinary guy, struggling to get up to speed on the job over someone so conniving, so hell-bent, so willing to lie, steal and cheat, just to grasp the Office of POTUS like it was 'her precious'... "Ooo... We LIKES our Precious!!"

WARNING: angry political content
The title, A VERY PERSONAL WAR, resonated with me, being a 1967 Vietnam War draftee. Finding this book 40 years after it's initial publication, I flinched at the prospect of stirring up long settled anger but was driven by the promise of cool truth surfacing over an ocean of warm (and on-going) government lies. I do not recommend this book for any who need to avoid anger or rocky leaking boats.
Before I read this book, I perceived the United States' long involvement in Vietnam as an ironic mystery: How could a
superpower with huge military, personnel, and economic advantages, lose? Wasn't winning the point? (blushing at my naivete). In A VERY PERSONAL WAR I was to learn of blatant unstoppable corruption on a staggering scale and schemes at play then (and now) that redefine war (for the connected) as for-profit enterprise.
A VERY PERSONAL WAR is the non-fiction account of the experiences of investigator and security specialist
Cornelius Hawkridge. Author James Hamilton Paterson begins with riveting details of Hawkridge's early life in Hungary
during the Russian occupation, where young Hawkridge engaged in ruthless close guerilla-style combat and later survived two and a half years of solitary confinement and Stalin's labor camps.
I was so full of respect and awe of Hawkridge at this point in my reading that whatever this man did with his life
afterward had my engaged interest. His personal grudge against communism would eventually lead him to Vietnam, but
to the awakening there that communists were as rare as officials who cared and corruption common as the air he breathed. He knew in 1966 that the "war" was lost and that the real question was how long the scams could continue.
What did Hawkridge do about it? He dug for, at great personal risk, and found the facts -where the military, medical, building and humanitarian supplies were going (to both sides and parties selling to both sides), and where most of the currency exchange profits were ending up (44 Wall Street -Hannover Trust at the time, now JP Morgan Chase).
Hawkridge wrote letters to anybody he thought had effective corrective power. Westmoreland ignored him. The Department of Defense ignored him. The State Department gave him the classic
Snow Job. The book has supporting photographs and letters and replies in appendices.
Hawkridge's best whistle-blowing success was through contact with Senator Ribicoff, a Democrat who later turned against the war. Closed door hearings were held. Transcripts were labeled classified material for reasons of "national security." The book contains though, recalled from memory, the straight to the heart-of-the-matter questions that Hawkridge, in angry frustration, fired back at the committee.
It was somewhat of a miracle that Hawkridge's testimony even took place, because of the very nearly successful
assassination attempt he survived that killed his wife -in an uninvestigated highway "accident" -in Washington State -
USA -shortly after people associated with the Senate committee started keeping tabs on him.
The most frightening disclosure though in this book for me, a citizen of the "land of the free, home of the brave" was that no publisher in the U.S. would touch Hawkridge's story. Life Magazine had the findings fully investigated and written up, when it was gutted and tossed in as filler in an issue full of Kennedy and Mary Jo. A British Publisher, Hodder and Stoughton, to their everlasting credit, printed this masterpiece of good and important writing.
P.T. Barnum is reputed to have said "There's a sucker born every minute." Barnum was a talented promoter. Governments are still successfully promoting wars, getting taxpayers to borrow for them and soldiers, Loved Ones, and innocents to die in them
by selling fear and patriotism. Contractors/corporations with little accountability or oversight now outnumber troops in Afghanistan. Don't be a sucker. That is the lesson for me in
this book.

The giants are usually hollow figures several meters tall, with a painted paper maché head and arms, the rest of the body being covered in cloth and other clothing. Their frame is usually made of wood or aluminum, with carton-pierre—a mixture of papier-mâché and plaster of paris— used to make the head and hands. The frame of the body is hidden by cloth, and arms typically have no structural element to allow them to swing in the air when the giant is turned. (from the wikipedia)

French postcard in the Les Vedettes de l'Écran series by Editions Filma, no. 123. Photo: Pathé Consortium Cinéma. Charles Martinelli as Porthos in Les Trois Mousquetaires/The Three Musketeers (Henri Diamant-Berger 1921).
Charles Martinelli (1882-1954) was a French actor, who became famous for his interpretation of Porthos in Les trois mousquetaires (1921).
Charles Martinelli, whose real name was Charles Martinet, was born in Paris on 10 April 1882. He started out as actor and singer, performing Panurge by Massenet and playing in Boubouroche by Georges Courteline. For then years he was the Chair of the Union des Artistes Français. According to IMDb, his first film part was in Robert Boudrioz’ Le petit poucet (1920), produced by Abel Gance. The year 1920 might be a mistake though, as the French magazine Cinéa of July 1922 announced that Martinelli would start to play the ogre while Christiane Delval played Tom Thumb. It also remarked Martinelli was already known from his part of Porthos in Les trois mousquetaires (1921).
Indeed, it seems that Martinelli had his real breakthrough with the French historical adventure film Les trois mousquetaires (1921), directed by Henri Diamant-Berger and adapted from Alexandre Dumas père’s classic novel, published in 1844. The script by Auguste Macquet follows the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas père very faithfully. Martinelli played the good-hearted, rotund Porthos, opposite Aimé Simon-Girard as D’Artagnan, Henri Rollan as Athos, Pierre de Guingand as Aramis, Edouard de Max as Richelieu, Pierrette Madd as Constance, Claude Merelle as Mylady De Winter, and Armand Bernard as Planchet. Les trois mousquetaires had the gigantic budget of 2,5 million French francs. It has wonderful performances, great looking sets (partly filmed on locations as the Chenonceau castle, Chartres and the Pérouges citadel), and authentic recreations of 17th-century costumes. Responsible for sets and costumes was the French reputed architect and designer Robert Mallet-Stevens. It was divided into one-hour chapters, designed to be released as a serial in consecutive weeks over a three-month period. This silent super-serial was produced by Pathé Frères. Parallel to Diamant-Berger’s version, Fred Niblo shot a rival version in the US starring Douglas Fairbanks as D’Artagnan The Three Musketeers (Fred Niblo, 1921). Though entertaining, it was much more loosely adapted. The success of Les trois mousquetaires was aided by an arrangement with United Artists that kept Fairbanks’s The Three Musketeers from being distributed in France and much of Europe.
All copies of the 1921 version were thought to be destroyed by the Nazis during the Second World War, but in 1995 a print of it was rediscovered and remastered into a new version. It was already the second adaptation of the famous adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas père, after the first adaptation in 1913, but it wouldn’t be the last either. In 1933 Henri Diamant-Berger made a new, sound version of Les trois mousquetaires. While Thomy Bourdelle now played Porthos, Aimé Simon-Girard starred again as D' Artagnan, Henri Rollan returned as Athos, and Henri Baudin also reprised his role as Le comte de Rochefort.
The succes of the 1921 version pushed Pathé in filming Dumas’ sequel Vingt ans après as well, which was released in 1922 and was again directed by Diamant-Berger. Martinelli remained as Porthos, and Rolland, Guingand and Bernard returned, but D’Artagnan was played by Jean Yonnel. Martinelli remained attached to Diamant-Berger’s movies in 1921-23, mostly comedies. He had the lead in the adaptation of the play Boubouroche (1921, the play he had starred in on stage before as well), and also acted in Le mauvais garçon (1923), Gonzague (1923), Jim Bougne, boxeur (1923), L’accordeur (1923) and L’affaire de la rue de Lourcine (1923), all starring Maurice Chevalier, and Le roi de la vitesse (1923), starring Pierre de Guingand. In those films several of the actors of Les trois mousquetaires and Vingts ans après often returned, such as Pierrette Madd, Marguerite Moreno and Louis Préfils, but also popular vaudeville comedians joined like Georges Milton and Florelle, starting their film career here.
Martinelli then did three comedies with Robert Saidreau: Ma tante d’Honfleur (1923), A la gare (1923, released 1925) and Le fil à la patte (1923), all with Armand Bernard. In 1924 Martinelly played the mad scientist in Paris qui dort, René Clair’s mad cap science fiction film about the whole of Paris transformed in a state of Sleeping Beauty-like sleep, except for a few odd outsiders, including the man on the Eiffel Tower, played by Henri Rollan, and a pilot (Albert Préjean) and his passengers. Préjean had started his career in Diamant-Berger’s Les trois mousquetaires and had become a regular of his comedies as well. Paris qui dort was also produced by Henri Diamant-Berger’s company Films Diamant.
After that Martinelli did one last film in the silent era, playing Farigoule in La Tournée Farigoule (Marcel Manchez 1926), with Madeleine Guitty and Jane Pierson. In the sound era Martinelli played in three films of the 1930s. He was the head of police in G.W. Pabst’s Don Quichotte (1932, released 1933), starring Feodor Chaliapine as Don Quichotte and Dorville as Sancho Panza. He played the emperor in the Franco-German coproduction Tambour battant (André Becler & Arthur Robison, 1933), starring Georges Rigaud, Josseline Gaël and Françoise Rosay. His last part was in the comedy Un fichu métier (1938) by Pierre-Jean Ducis, starring Lucien Baroux. Charles Martinelli died in Paris on 11 August 1954.
Charles Martinelli was married to singer Germaine Jobert (1887-1964) in 1908. In the interbellum years, Germaine Martinelli was a highly acclaimed concert singer. Their son, Jean Martinelli, born 1909, was for 21 years sociétaire of the Comédie Française, and afterward had an excellent career in private theatres, film, and television. He died in 1983.
