Growing up, we lost the abilities to tell the truth, to share our secrets.
For multiple unknown reasons, we unable to say what we want to say.
So...if you are listening...
Can I tell you a secret? :)

El jaciment de can Badell, de Bigues, és un jaciment bàsicament d'època ibera que es troba ubicat en part al carrer camí de can Badell i en part als terrenys ocupats per l'escola El Turó de Bigues.
L'any 1978 es va realitzar un anivellament del camí que portava a la masia de Can Badell i que travessa el jaciment, fet que va posar al descobert molts fragments de la típica àmfora de boca plana, així com ceràmiques oxidades i grises associades a abocaments o escombrera d'un conjunt de forns ibers de producció ceràmica.
Posteriorment, entre 1979-1984 i l'any 1986 s'hi realitzaren diverses intervencions arqueològiques per tal de delimitar i conèixer millor el jaciment. En general, s'han documentat 3 forns de ceràmica, 7 sitges, 10 foses d'extracció d'argila que conformen l'escombrera o el tester dels forns, un paviment poligonal incomplert (aïllat de qualsevol altra estructura) i una bassa de decantació de les argiles per fabricar la ceràmica. Les ceràmiques documentades han estat fetes a mà en perfil en S; a torn com vasos globulars, bols, bicònics i càlats; ceràmica de la costa catalana com plats, bols i bicònics; ceràmica d'importació àtica, campanianes A i B, àmfores itàliques i greco-itàliques. També es va documentar dòlia i es va trobar gran quantitat de tègula i ímbrex que cal relacionar amb la construcció dels forns.
També cal anotar la documentació arqueològica d'una fase d'ocupació moderna i contemporània corresponent a l'explotació agrícola de l'indret, materialitzada en la presència d'un rec d'aigua que, provinent de la masia de Can Badell, travessa el jaciment iber.
Per altra banda, cal tenir molt en compte la proximitat del jaciment del Camp de les Lloses, al terme municipal de Tona, ja que s'ha pogut documentar que les produccions protohistòriques d'ambdós jaciments (Can Badell i Camp de les Lloses) són coetànies, paral·leles des del punt de vista cronològic i també des del punt de vista ceramològic. Això podria permetre hipotetitzar que es van produir intercanvis entre ambdós jaciments. En aquesta línia argumental es pot afirmar que, tant per la seva extensió com per la seva variada producció, Can Badell és un jaciment fonamental per comprendre la cultura ibera de la zona i les relacions comercials i productives en el territori de la Laietània. En conclusió, l'estudi de les restes apunta a un centre productor de materials ceràmics d'època ibera, datable entre finals del segle IV/inicis del segle III aC. fins a mitjan segle II/I aC, on després d'un interval d'uns gairebé 2000 anys de desocupació s'hi documenta activitat agrícola entre les èpoques moderna i contemporània.
Bona part de les estructures del jaciment han estat desmuntades total o parcialment amb control i metodologia arqueològica per tal de poder procedir a l'ampliació del CEIP abans esmentat.
Es creu que, no obstant, bona part del jaciment està pendent de descobrir.
Can Bori és una casa pairal d'un sol cos, amb coberta a dues aigües i carener paral·lel a la façana principal. De planta baixa i pis, la planta baixa queda enterrada respecte al camí, que passa per darrera la casa.
Conserva una finestra emmarcada amb pedra tosca, la resta d'obertura s'han modificat.
La part més curiosa de la casa es troba en el jardí, on hi ha un petit circuit ferroviari i d'altres curiositats recollides pel seu propietari.

I saw this can cooler at Menards (a hardware store) for 38¢ and because the inside was white I figured it might make a good snoot for my flash. It fits perfect on my Canon 580EX and does a decent job without any modification!

Can't put in the cranks or attach the shifter until I get the wiring fished through. (And I can't put on fenders until I've positioned the rear wheel so I know how many spacers need to go in at the chainstay bridge to get a not-too-embarrassing fender line.)
The front fender is problematic, because the rack sits very low and I may need to mill down the fender boss so I can attach the fender and have more than a couple of mm clearance. Worst case is that I pull the rack and modify one of my spares to fit.
I found this amongs my old negatives. It was out of focus but I thought the moment captured was worth working on. (Not HDR)

La Mer and Babalu are both wearing designs from JoeyKBlythe. Thanks so much, Jo! We love our new clothes!!!
Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear
Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change
My dear
ADOTTATO: Bandito, cane mastino
Questo giovane cane, un incrocio di mastino di circa 50 kg., si trova in canile
dall'estate e nessuno lo ha richiesto per adottarlo. Si tratta di cagnolone molto buono,
che va d'accordo con gli altri cani e condivide il suo spazio con altri cani di grossa
taglia, ama la compagnia delle persone anche se ha subito un abbandono.
La nostra amica Simona, volontaria di "Progetto Animalista per la Vita", ce lo segnala
perché la sua adozione è veramente urgente. Hanno necessità di trovare una famiglia a
questo bel cane e noi volontari Animal's Angels, nel nostro piccolo, abbiamo deciso di aiutarli.
Quindi se volete un bel cane nero, grande ma buonissimo, vaccinato e controllato, con il
suo chip come prevede la legge, non dovete fare altro che contattarci.
Per adottare è richiesto, come sempre, un controllo pre-affido (una visita a casa dei futuri
adottanti), la firma del documento di adozione e la disponibilità a rimanere in contatto
dopo l'adozione.
Chi volesse adottarli può contattarci:

La nostra visione dell'aiuto agli animali abbandonati non è fatta di gabbie e di animali
che restano per anni e anni in un canile, ci occupiamo solo di piccoli gruppi di cani e
gatti. In questo modo possiamo curarli nel modo migliore, tenerli con noi per brevi
periodi in casa, spazi privati o piccole pensioni per animali. In questo modo crescono e
si rimettono in forze in un ambiente sereno ed equilibrato, in buoni rapporti con i loro
simili e con l'uomo.
Se condividete la nostra visione di un "vero amore per gli animali" potete pensare anche
ad una adozione a distanza con certificato. Un modo semplice per contribuire
economicamente alle necessarie prime cure veterinarie, il vitto, la sterilizzazione (per
gli animali adulti), l'impianto del chip. Grandi e piccole necessità costose che, pur
tenendoli con noi solo per un breve periodo, sono necessarie per offrire loro una seconda
possibilità. Chiediamo solo una piccola donazione, detraibile dalle tasse, tramite
bonifico o carta di credito on-line (attraverso PayPal.com direttamente al nostro
indirizzo: animalsangelsnovi@gmail.com ).

A paved walkway curves gracefully through a lush, green park, offering a peaceful escape from the surrounding urban environment. Towering trees with sprawling branches frame the view, creating a natural archway that leads the eye toward the modern skyscrapers in the distance. This quiet trail provides a beautiful contrast between the dense, vibrant foliage and the structured architecture of the city.
The sign, in case you can't read it, says:
BONFIRE = TRADITION = NOLA
New Orleanians are known for resisting change (to put it mildly) even when confronted by the powers that be.
For years now the residents of Mid-City have hauled their dry Christmas trees to the neutral ground of Orleans Ave, somewhere around the 4200 block, and made a bonfire on New Year's Eve. This year they're being told they absolutely can't do so.
Elbert Thomas is the chief of fire prevention for the NOLA fire department. To quote the Times-Picayune:
"Thomas said fire officials have tried to nip the Orleans Avenue bonfire in the bud in the past by hauling away the pile of Christmas trees and other communal kindling that grows on the neutral ground in late December.
The efforts, however, have been futile. "Within minutes of midnight, it's all back again," he said."
I'm very curious to see what happens this year. I plan to celebrate NYE down in the Quarter, one of the few times of the year I like to go down there on purpose. However, the temptation to watch this develop into a neighborhood riot is almost too much.
You can read the entire Times-Picayune article on the Mid-City bonfire if you're interested.
White-bellied Sea Eagle -
Chasing the magnificent White-bellied Sea Eagles in Langkawi - A panorama of three photos from a boat with the eagle cruising over the foliage at fairly good speed going in and out of focus.
The white-bellied sea eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster), also known as the white-breasted sea eagle, is a large diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. Originally described by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788, it is closely related to Sanford's sea eagle of the Solomon Islands, and the two are considered a superspecies. A distinctive bird, the adult white-bellied sea eagle has a white head, breast, under-wing coverts and tail. The upper parts are grey and the black under-wing flight feathers contrast with the white coverts. The tail is short and wedge-shaped as in all Haliaeetus species. Like many raptors, the female is slightly larger than the male, and can measure up to 90 cm (35 in) long with a wingspan of up to 2.2 m (7.2 ft), and weigh 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). Immature birds have brown plumage, which is gradually replaced by white until the age of five or six years. The call is a loud goose-like honking.
Resident from India and Sri Lanka through Southeast Asia to Australia on coasts and major waterways, the white-bellied sea eagle breeds and hunts near water, and fish form around half of its diet. Opportunistic, it consumes carrion and a wide variety of animals. Although rated as Least Concern globally, it has declined in parts of southeast Asia such as Thailand, and southeastern Australia. It is ranked as Threatened in Victoria and Vulnerable in South Australia and Tasmania. Human disturbance to its habitat is the main threat, both from direct human activity near nests which impacts on breeding success, and from removal of suitable trees for nesting. The white-bellied sea eagle is revered by indigenous people in many parts of Australia, and is the subject of various folk tales throughout its range.
The white-bellied sea eagle has a white head, rump and underparts, and dark or slate-grey back and wings. In flight, the black flight feathers on the wings are easily seen when the bird is viewed from below. The large, hooked bill is a leaden blue-grey with a darker tip, and the irides are dark brown. The cere is also lead grey. The legs and feet are yellow or grey, with long black talons (claws). Unlike those of eagles of the genus Aquila, the legs are not feathered. The sexes are similar. Males are 66–80 cm (26–31 in) long and weigh 1.8–3 kg (4.0–6.6 lb). Females are slightly larger, at 80–90 cm (31–35 in) and 2.5–4.5 kg (5.5–9.9 lb). The wingspan ranges from 1.78 to 2.2 m (5.8 to 7.2 ft). A 2004 study on 37 birds from Australia and Papua New Guinea (3 °S to 50 °S) found that birds could be sexed reliably on size, and that birds from latitudes further south were larger than those from the north. There is no seasonal variation in plumage. The moulting pattern of the white-bellied sea eagle is poorly known. It appears to take longer than a year to complete, and can be interrupted and later resumed from the point of interruption.
The wings are modified when gliding so that they rise from the body at an angle, but are closer to horizontal further along the wingspan. In silhouette, the comparatively long neck, head and beak stick out from the front almost as far as the tail does behind. For active flight, the white-bellied sea eagle alternates strong deep wing-beats with short periods of gliding.
A young white-bellied sea eagle in its first year is predominantly brown, with pale cream-streaked plumage on their head, neck, nape and rump areas. The plumage becomes more infiltrated with white until it acquires the complete adult plumage by the fourth or fifth year. The species breeds from around six years of age onwards. The lifespan is thought to be around 30 years.
The loud goose-like honking call is a familiar sound, particularly during the breeding season; pairs often honk in unison, and often carry on for some time when perched. The male's call is higher-pitched and more rapid than that of the female. Australian naturalist David Fleay observed that the call is among the loudest and furthest-carrying of all Australian bird calls, in stark contrast to the relatively quiet calls of the wedge-tailed eagle.
Adult white-bellied sea eagles are unmistakable and unlikely to be confused with any other bird. Immature birds can be confused with wedge-tailed eagles. However, the plumage of the latter is darker, the tail longer, and the legs feathered. They might also be confused with the black-breasted buzzard (Hamirostra melanosternon), but this species is much smaller, has white patches on the wings, and has a more undulating flight. In India, the Egyptian vulture has white plumage, but is smaller and has a whiter back and wings. The white tail of the white-bellied sea eagle in flight distinguishes it from other species of large eagles. In the Philippines, it can be confused with the Philippine eagle, which can be distinguished by its crest; immature white-bellied sea eagles resemble immature grey-headed fish eagles, but can be identified by their more wholly dark brown underparts and flight feathers, and wedge-shaped tail.
The white-bellied sea eagle is found regularly from Mumbai (sometimes north to Gujarat, and in the past in the Lakshadweep Islands) eastwards in India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in southern Asia, through all of coastal Southeast Asia including Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Indochina, the main and offshore islands of the Philippines, and southern China including Hong Kong, Hainan and Fuzhou, eastwards through New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, and Australia. In the northern Solomons it is restricted to Nissan Island, and replaced elsewhere by Sanford's sea eagle. In Victoria, where it is otherwise scarce, it is locally more common at Corner Inlet and Gippsland Lakes. Similarly in South Australia, it is most abundant along the north coast of Kangaroo Island. The range extends to the islands of Bass Strait and Tasmania, and it is thought able to move between the islands and the mainland. There is one unconfirmed record from Lord Howe Island and several from New Zealand.
They are a common sight in coastal areas, but may also be seen well inland (It is reportedly seen at the Panna Tiger Reserve in central India, nearly 1,000 km (621 mi) away from the sea shore) The white-bellied sea eagle is generally sedentary and territorial, although it may travel long distances. They have been reported travelling upriver to hunt for flying foxes (Pteropus). Populations in inland Australia move around as inland bodies of water appear and then dry up. In one instance, a pair came to breed at Lake Albacutya in northwestern Victoria after the lake had been empty for 30 years. The species is easily disturbed by humans, especially when nesting, and may desert nesting sites as a result. It is found in greater numbers in areas with little or no human impact or interference.
The white-bellied sea eagle is an opportunistic carnivore and consumes a wide variety of animal prey, including carrion. It often catches a fish by flying low over the water and grasping it in its talons. It prepares for the strike by holding its feet far forward (almost under its chin) and then strikes backwards while simultaneously beating its wings to lift upwards. Generally only one foot is used to seize prey. The white-bellied sea eagle may also dive at a 45 degree angle from its perch and briefly submerge to catch fish near the water surface. While hunting over water on sunny days, it often flies directly into the sun or at right angles to it, seemingly to avoid casting shadows over the water and hence alerting potential prey.
The white-bellied sea eagle was important to different tribes of indigenous people across Australia. The guardian animal of the Wreck Bay aboriginal community, it is also the official emblem of the Booderee National Park and Botanic Gardens in the Jervis Bay Territory. The community considered localities around Booderee National Park to be connected with it. A local Sydney name was gulbi, and the bird was the totem of Colebee, the late 18th century indigenous leader of the Cadigal people. The white-bellied sea eagle is important to the Mak Mak people of the floodplains to the southwest of Darwin in the northern Territory, who recognised its connection with "good country". It is their totem and integrally connected to their land. The term Mak Mak is their name for both the species and themselves. The Umbrawarra Gorge Nature Park was a Dreaming site of the bird, in this area known as Kuna-ngarrk-ngarrk. It was similarly symbolic to the Tasmanian indigenous people—Nairanaa was one name used there.
Known as Manulab to the people of Nissan Island, the white-bellied sea eagle is considered special and killing it is forbidden. Its calls at night are said to foretell danger, and seeing a group of calling eagles flying overhead is a sign that someone has died. Local Malay folk tales tell of the white-bellied sea eagle screaming to warn the shellfish of the turning of tides, and a local name burung hamba siput translates as "slave of the shellfish". Called Kaulo in the recently extinct Aka-Bo language, the white-bellied sea eagle was held to be the ancestor of all birds in one Andaman Islands folk tale. On the Maharashtra coast, their name is kakan and its call is said to indicate the presence of fish in the sea. They sometimes nest on coconut trees. Owners of the trees destroy the nest to avoid attacks when harvesting the coconuts.
