Comments by historian Michael Ferner:
"After winning the big prize at the Hoosier oval, Frame had invested part of his purse to purchase the radically new, streamlined "Catfish" of the Sparks-Weirick team, who were anxious to get back to the Sprint Car wars on the coast, and set off on a tour of the Eastern dirt tracks along with his old Duesenberg, the new car and the Indy-winning Miller-Hartz for "exhibitions" - this was the time to make hay with appearance deals, and Ralph Hankinson was happy to promote the winning driver and car of the big event along with the most eye-catching racing machine of the decade in one fell swoop! Everyone was happy until Frame crashed the Duesey in late July, putting himself out of action for more than a month - his injuries healed just in time to race at the Michigan State Fair in September, and finish last in the 100-miler there by "merely hanging on in" - not a glamorous result by any means, but enough to clinch the National Championship, or so it seemed... Now back to the fairgrounds in the East for a few more paydays, before a well deserved winter rest back home in California!"

La Ville de Paris a confié cette année à la société Fêtes et Feux, la conception du feu d'artifice du 14 juillet dédiée au disco. Une soirée exceptionnelle à laquelle la fièvre promet de s'inviter avec un feu d'artifice aux couleurs fluo explosives, des lumières éblouissantes et l'installation d'une boule à facettes géante de 7,5m « la maîtresse de la Tour Eiffel » et 1 200 miroirs, créée par l'artiste Michel de Broin !
C'est Jean-Eric Ougier, de la société Fêtes et Feux, grand Maître Artificier reconnu, qui assure la création artistique de ce spectacle. L'artiste compte à son palmarès déjà deux éditions du 14 juillet à Paris mais aussi la direction artistique du Grand Feu de Saint Cloud, celle des Nuits de Feu de Chantilly et de nombreuses autres références en France comme à l'étranger.

19th Century Illustrations for the Surgical Removal of Unwanted Parts of the Human Body
"I didn't expect to recover from my second operation but since I did, I consider that I'm living on borrowed time" - Henri Matisse
Many of the colour lithographs below were created for US surgeon Joseph Pancoast’s (November 23, 1805 – March 6, 1882) 1844 book A Treatise on Operative Surgery. The blurb tells us: “A treatise on operative surgery comprising a description of the various processes of the art, including all the new operations; exhibiting the state of surgical science in is present advanced condition; with eighty plates containing four-hundred and eighty-six separate illustrations.” These images are for the book’s second edition of 1846, for which they were “enlarged”. Other images can be found in the 1848 work Précis iconographique de médecine opératoire et d’anatomie chirurgicale by Claude Bernard (1813-1878). They are captivating and unsettling.

I haven't been posting pictures or commenting on other people's, much.
This is why.
Some weeks ago, I took Gina, my beautiful dolly in this mosaic, out with me. It used to be very normal for me to take a dolly along whenever I went out. We went downtown and had breakfast in a little cafe. Then we went shopping around a bit, and decided to go back home for lunch.
As I was walking to catch the metro, I noticed my backpack was open.. and Gina was missing...
I remember seeing my backpack closed at the last store we visited just minutes before, so she was stolen at the street..
She was inside a cotton bag, so thieves might not have realized they were taking a doll.
I looked for her in the nearest trashcans... walked back and forth the street over and over... but it was useless. I went back home without her..
I have been zombie-like in pain ever since.
I was already dealing with other Blythe-related issues, being kicked out of Plastic Paradise first and then being reported to flickr twice , and I have been trying to 'hang in there'.. but this just knocked me down. It took the little energy I had left..
I kept telling myself, it's just plastic...
I got another matte HW Blythe the very next day my dolly was stolen. I felt relief for a brief moment, then a feeling of emptiness hit me. I could never replace Gina. She was special to me for many reasons.
I know all this may sound offensively ridiculous to the average person. That we can randomly pick anyone at the street and that person will have much bigger problems than losing a funny-looking doll. Yes. I am that person too. I live in a real world and have grown-ups' real problems, just like you and everyone.
But Blythe is my safe place. They make my life easier, I will just say that.
Having been reached by "the dark side of Blythe" (lol) and now losing one of my dolls like this has somewhat ruined the magic for me.
Today it's four weeks since my Gina left.
I still look for her at the local auction site, feeling like I'm gonna see her any moment.. but no.. and I have to stop thinking I will.
I miss her so much.
But I need to let go.
Perhaps speaking about it will help me move on. So I'm doing this.
These are most of her pics. There's one more... the picture I took of her when we were having breakfast the day she was taken away from me. I just can't look at it yet.
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
Just a few pictures from a night in at home.

I went with my friend Charlotte to an event on Prince's Avenue. I've been a few times before - it's called Beat The Clock. They play 70s and 80s and lots more - all played from 7" vinyl. Old school!
We had a cracking night and danced most of the night away.
While we were there, someone tok a photo of me while I was on the dancefloor, and I absolutely love it! I have it in colour and black and white, and I have to say I prefer the black and white - it's more atmospheric. Totally love the photo and it will be one I print out to put up on my wall!
At Beat The Clock. What a great night. And I totally love this candid photo!

The Strathspey & Badenoch Herald has a report on ‘Operation Lepus’ that aims to stamp out cruel and unlawful hare coursing and that will involve patrols in rural Invenrness-shire and Nairnhsire. ( see: www.strathspey-herald.co.uk/News/Police-launch-clamp-down... ) The newspaper quotes Police Constable Carl Sandever, leading the operation. The Wildlife Crime Officer indicates that for police to use powers to seize vehicles and dogs involved in illegal hare coursing public vigilance and reporting of suspicious activity “will be important”. The report also states:
Hare coursing often happens at weekends and evenings during daylight hours. Those involved in illegal coursing tend to use a lurcher breed of dog and will actively search fields for hares.
"This can be done by searching the fence lines or working the field with the coursers in lines with the dogs at their side ready to slip the dogs on sight of a hare.
"Further to this, the activity can be subject to illegal gambling as the handlers compete to ensure their dog gets the kill. Once killed the hare is discarded as it is not kept for any purpose.’’
The report is illustrated by a (BSCG) photo of a mountain hare Lepus timidus rather than the larger brown hare the species targeted in illegal hare coursing. An article published on the 28 September 2014 ‘Outrage over mountain hare ‘massacre’ on p31 of the Sunday Herald is also confusing illustrated (by a photo of a brown hare Lepus europaeus rather than a mountain hare).
The 2014 mountain hare article carried a comment by the head of specie and land management at RSPB Duncan Orr-Ewing who said “Any reduction of mountain hares in the south of their range is of particular conservation concern as these are isolated populations which are declining.” The 2014 article indicated that Green MSP for Lothian Alison Johnstone said “To hear reports of mass culls is deeply disturbing” She also was reported to comment “The commercial nature of large sporting estates must not be allowed to trample over the conservation of highly valued wildlife”. www.heraldscotland.com/news/13182140.Outrage_over_mountai...
Information on the threat of hare coursing on brown hares and the living landscape campaign of the Scottish Wildlife Trust is is referred to in a LINK information sheet at www.scotlink.org/files/publication/other/LINKSCBrownHare.pdf. This mentions that Alison Jonnstone of the Green party elected to become the brown hare’s Scottish parliamentary species champion. In October 2015 Alison Johnstone lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament that makes mention of hunting with dogs that was supported by Anne McTaggart, Patrick Harvie John Wilson and John Finnie ( see: alisonjohnstonemsp.com/?attachment_id=862 ).
All Scottish Parliamentary candidates are being invited to support The Wildlife Proclamation see: www.scotlink.org/holyrood-2016-elections-2/the-wildlife-p...

I was tagged by her. :)
So here we go:
1. I tried out for the school musical today and it actually wasn't that bad. I really hope I get a part, but a lot of talented people tried out. So we'll see.
2. Homecoming is coming up and it's more annoying than exciting to think about. (Some of you know why.)
3. I have a really horrible sleeping pattern. After school I'll come home and take a nap (usually with my cat) and then be energized until about one in the morning and end up only getting about five hours of sleep--which results in being super tired all during school. So I'm going to bed in a couple of minutes in an attempt to break that habit. (It's now 10:01 pm.)
4. I'm not quite sure I like my haircut, haha. Some moments I love it; some moments I hate it. But I'm taking a picture of it every day to log the growing out process, simply because that would be a wicked awesome stopmotion.
5. I'm finding myself wasting more time on the piano than on the computer. This is an improvement.
6. Why do we even have homework in school? I am pretty sure most adults don't take their work home with them (okay some do, but for the sake of my arguement, most don't, haha). So why do highschoolers have to? You're not preparing us for the real world, you're draining the life out of us. (Hmm these points aren't based on real solid fact, but whatever.)
7. I'm slowly but surely erasing my disney channel music tastes on my itunes library. Love me some real bands (though I'll always secretly be a fan of dc. :)
8. Praying that I get my braces off before senior year. Or at least senior pictures. It's been five years with these metal suckers!
9. I think I've figured out how to create an awesome (fake) focus on photoshop--since my camera is incapable of creating bokeh or anything else of merit.
10. (Can't think of anything else so ...) I hope you all have an awesome day! I thought of something else. Eyeballs freak me out. Well, close up photos of eyeballs scare me. It's because I once had a dream I watched a person's pupils grow bigger and bigger until the whole person was just this giant black blob. It was horrifying. Haha that is all.
P.S. If you read this, you are tagged.
