Me in front of the kitchen display at the Lansing museum. And yes, I do look a little crazy. I was really excited about the pink stove.
SERIES: REDISCOVERING MEXICO CITY
A sales display at Sears in downtown Mexico City creates an interesting shadow against a wall.
A last quick sketch before calling it a day. By now the museum was emptied of all the visitors and you only heard pencils clicking.
In Guayaquil's Malecón, there is this display which it is kind of strange, it shows the names of everyone who have paid their taxes and thus made it possible to have the Malecón built.
I loved the flower arrangement and the array of scarecrows around it. I thought I 'd sneak in a shot or two. The store manager was busy arranging other displays behind me and I was hoping he wouldn't notice me clicking away. I guess he didn't.
Bangor bounce back against Portadown
by Roger Corbett
Determined to put their disappointing performance against Dundalk behind them, Bangor produced a patient display against Portadown to win by 17-10.
Last weekend had been a difficult one for both sides. Bangor were well and truly humbled by an exemplary performance by Dundalk, losing by the largest margin in recent years. For Portadown’s part, they travelled to Donaghadee only to be put to the sword by a merciless 46-0. Bangor needed the win today to show that still had what it takes to remain a powerful force in the league. Likewise, Portadown were hoping to stop the rot of several poor results and remain in contention for an all-important top four place, keeping alive their hopes to contest the All Ireland Junior Cup next season. With both sides fielding teams that reflected their growing injury lists, this had all the ingredients for an interesting and competitive encounter. Bangor had 6 changes from last weekend, the most notable being a 1st XV debut for David Caughey coming in for Freddie Black at second row.
Portadown kicked off with the wind at their backs, and for the first half hour of the game play was almost entirely held within the centre of the pitch, between the two twenty twos. Although Bangor were producing the more meaningful attacks, they suffered from knock-ons when tackled, and some miss-timed passes that went astray. On a positive note, the scrums looked solid and the line-outs showed signs of improvement. However, after 35 minutes a good Portadown break saw Bangor desperately defending their line. In the resulting series of defensive rucks, Bangor were eventually penalised and a yellow card was shown to Curtis Stewart. The stalemate was then broken on the stroke of half time when Bangor conceded another penalty, this time in front of their own posts. The straightforward kick was successful giving Portadown the narrowest of leads as the sides turned around at 0-3.
Now playing with the wind advantage, Bangor got the second half underway. However, it was Portadown who showed the early initiative, winning another penalty after 12 minutes of play. With the wind in their faces, the kick was pushed wide and Bangor were let of the hook. Bangor now started to lift their game and were showing signs of promise with characteristically good runs from Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. The sustained pressure eventually paid off when Portadown conceded a penalty which Neil Cuthbertson successfully converted, levelling the scores at 3-3.
As the game entered the final quarter, Bangor were making better use of the wind than their opponents had in the first half. Although some kicks went too long, others provided just enough pressure on the Portadown defence to cause them problems. This is exactly what happened when a kick deep into Portadown’s twenty two looked like it might have been going long, but the Portadown full back decided to play it. However, he underestimated the flight of the ball and only managed to get his hands to it, slowing its progress to the goal area. Realising the danger of his actions, he tried to keep the ball in play and then clear up-field, but it overran and Bangor were awarded the 5 metre scrum. Finding themselves in one of their best attacking positions for some time, Bangor’s scrum proved too much for Portadown who were duly penalised. This hadn’t been the first offence of this nature, so the yellow card was shown to the offending Portadown player. Now with the extra man advantage in the scrum, Bangor set about the weakened Portadown pack, resulting in another collapsed scum. The referee, having just warned the Portadown players about the implications of such repeated offences, had no hesitation in awarding Bangor a penalty try under the posts. With the added conversion from Cuthbertson, Bangor were now ahead for the first time, by 10-3.
Bangor now started to look more relaxed, and were keeping play in Portadown’s half. After another 10 minutes, a Bangor scrum on the right hand wing resulted in quick ball to the back line. A long pass by Mark Thompson at out half missed the centres and went straight to Davy Charles, coming into the line from full back. With the Portadown defence trying to cover across, Charles had the pace to get through and dive over in the left hand corner for a try. The touchline kick by Cuthbertson was superbly judged, added the extras and extending Bangor’s lead to 17-3.
Although Bangor enjoyed further scoring opportunities, these came to nothing as poor passing saw the ball go to ground and the attack falter. Portadown, on the other hand, were anxious to come away with something to show for their efforts and mounted a late surge towards Bangor’s line. In the ensuing waves of attack, a series of penalties conceded by Bangor resulted in a yellow card for Charles. The combination of a quickly taken tap penalty and an out of shape Bangor defence, provided Portadown with enough space to dart through for a converted try, and earn a losing bonus point in the process, as the final score came to 17-10.
While this performance could hardly be described as champagne rugby, it still tasted good for Bangor to return to winning ways, and go some way to putting last week’s loss behind them. The mixture of old and new players worked well together, and demonstrates the depth in strength Bangor enjoy within their senior squad. With no match next week, the players and coaching staff have time to regroup and prepare for another ‘cup final’ game – this time against our closest neighbours and rivals, Donaghadee. With the Dee currently enjoying a purple patch and fighting for their survival in this league, and Bangor looking to maintain their hold at the top end of the table, this fixture promises to be an intriguing encounter.

Met 'The Art and Collections' biedt NP3 het publiek een kijkje in de vaak voor het grote publiek niet toegankelijke kunstcollecties, doet ze onderzoek naar hedendaagse manieren van collectioneren en maakt ze een start met het haar eigen experimentele collectie. Komt het voort uit passie of is het een investering. Is het zinvol om als experimenteel kunstpodium een eigen collectie te starten? En wat levert dit op voor de kunstenaar? Is het tijd om alles eens drastisch om te gooien, weg met het traditionele collectioneren van gangbare formaten, van houdbaar werk in alle traditionele disciplines? Is het in een tijd waarin de curator al als kunstenaar en maker wordt gezien, en de tentoonstelling als kunstwerk, het collectioneren van louter kunstwerken nog wel relevant? Of is het in deze tijd van recessie de redding van de kunstenaar en kunstwereld?
Handpicked saucers adorn the archway between the dining and living room, has not changed since I moved in because I enjoy when my eyes fall on the patterns on my plain old ivory walls. Some have matching tea cups all are hung with plate hangers in the 4-6" size. All are not antiques, the all white with itty bitty red roses is a mod shabby chic I loved ;)
The saucer on the end left deserves a close up it is an antique done in pansies and thick gold work in the oriental style of its era.
anyone want to see close ups of these? i need good lighting and a sturdy chair--LOL
Sensuous City by Sisters Hope

SENSUOUS CITY – THE PERFORMANCE
Sisters Hope invites you on a deep, sensuous journey exploring the poetic layers of the city. For 24 hours, you will explore the city in groups of 10. Maybe you will follow the flow of the water through the city. Maybe you will experience the city through traveling sounds or the darkness of the basements.
As a participant, you will partake in a poetic walk and performance which will help us unfold the sensuous and poetic aspects of the city. In contrast to the idea of the large, noisy, alienating metropolis, Sisters Hope brings us in contact with the things close to us, the tactile and the aesthetic dimension of the capital.
The walks are guided and facilitated by Sisters Hope’s performers such as: Ekko, The Invitation, The Shapeshifter etc. Before your departure you will receive a letter with guidelines on what to prepare and bring on the walk. Along the way, there will be meals and a place to sleep.
During the 24 hours, you explore the city’s sensuous and poetic elements. What stories, atmospheres, movements, emotions lurk in the city? You perform an active research, and you bring your discoveries back to The City Hall, where they are exhibited in display units for all the visitors of the City Hall to see.
Your discoveries lay the foundation for new dreams and visions of the city of the future – a city with room for poetry, beauty and the sensuous aspects of existence.
SENSUOUS CITY – THE ARCHIVE
At The City Hall, we open up this study of the city of the future, where everyone can contribute. In display units, we gather research from Sisters Hope’s poetic, participatory walks – material that unfolds the sensuous and poetic aspects of the city, or the lack of it. And on a large floor map of the city, you can leave your footprint and help outline new visions about how the city affects you in different places – and your dreams for the future.
Over three weeks, an emotional map is being built that draws a new picture of Copenhagen. Not a picture of buildings and infrastructure, but a picture of humans interacting in and with the city from the poetic and sensuous aspects of their being. An image of a fleeting city, where the everyday gives space for poetry, visions and dreams.
Let yourself be inspired by the narration of the exhibition and get inspiration for your own exploration of the city. What hidden, forgotten or idle potentials can you find for the city of the future?
