This piece is entitled "self portrait of ones entire life". I executed this piece with the a theory I developed that is called Dimensionalism . This theory has its inspiration form my experiences with pre-seizure events for I have epilepsy. In this state I become detached from reality and see time in a different construct,that of a hyper intensity. A hyper awareness of a moment and everything that constructs it from sounds,thoughts,things tactile . While in these pre seizure states, some instances time is slowed down/speed up or frozen. While in other instances I am forced away form all comprehension of what is in my present environment and reality takes on a totally foreign existence where all has to be re learned.
For the viewers of my piece all of life is in dimensions and how one moves through these dimensions of either large dimensional constructs such as ones life or to the minute dimensional construct of a simple word. Thus giving the viewer this new perspective of time and space. The suspended animation of the piece is only dynamic as the viewer views the piece from the narrower sides form either end where a visible play of time sequencing exists and ones eye is drawn into the piece...
A perspective of a Dimesionalist where one has a view of a moment with a gods eye/time traveler or a pure energy source . From looking at a simple word to a memory one has. All is captured in dimensions. There are other branches of my theory that further portray my experiences. Demensionalising and facitile dimensionalism. These ideas also play with the constructs of how one sees time/moment.I hope to execute these ideas in the future...........
All these ideas/theories have a direct correlation with present day society...from the over abundance of information that is transferred by different technologies to the ways these technologies directly affect our existence and how it adds other dimensions of time to our lives.
I will be placing more info online in the future. and creating a temp website that fully explains all the details and shows examples of these theories as well as go into more details..

Inaugurated on October 18, 2000, this monument entitled "Women are Persons!" is a tribute to Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. Known as the Famous Five, these women won the "Persons" Case, a 1929 court ruling which legally declared women as persons under the British North America Act and made them eligible for appointment to the Canadian Senate
The larger-than-life sculptures by Edmonton artist Barbara Paterson were donated to the Government of Canada by the Famous 5 Foundation. They show the five women celebrating their important legal victory in characteristic poses. An empty chair adds an interactive feature to the monument that invites passers-by to join the group. The newspaper with the headline "Women are Persons" that Nellie McClung is holding reflects some of the actual headlines of newspapers of the day.
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), novelist, journalist, suffragette and temperance worker. She was a member of the Alberta legislature, the only woman on the Dominion War Council, and the first woman on the CBC Board of Governors.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette and politician. She was elected president of the women's branch of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1916 and became a member of the Alberta legislature in 1921. She was still a member of Parliament at the time of the Persons Case.
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigator of the Persons Case, writer, and first woman magistrate in the British Empire. She pioneered married women's rights, was National President of the Canadian Women's Press Club 1913-1920, vice-president of the National Council of Women and first president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journalist, suffragist and organizer, fought for equal rights for wives, mothers' allowances and women's rights. She started the Working Girls' Association in Montréal in 1875, a forerunner of the YWCA. Later, while living in Alberta, she compiled two works on Alberta and federal laws affecting women and children.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), politician and temperance campaigner. She was president of the Dominion Women's Christian Union and elected to the Alberta legislature in 1917 as representative of the non-partisan league.

Inauguré le 18 octobre 2000, ce monument intitulé «Les femmes sont des personnes!» rend hommage à Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney et Henrietta Muir Edwards. Ces cinq femmes, mieux connues sous le nom des « Cinq femmes célèbres », ont gagné l'affaire « personnes », un jugement de 1929 qui reconnaissait l'existence des femmes en tant que personnes selon l'Acte de l'Amérique du Nord britannique et les rendait admissibles à être nommées au Sénat du Canada
Les sculptures plus grandes que nature, oeuvre de l'artiste Barbara Paterson, d'Edmonton, ont été offertes au Gouvernement du Canada par la fondation Famous 5. Elles représentent les cinq femmes célébrant leur victoire juridique historique dans des poses caractéristiques. Une chaise vide fait partie de l'oeuvre et constitue un élément interactif qui invite les passants à se joindre au groupe. Le titre «Les femmes sont des personnes», sur le journal qu'arbore Nellie McClung, représente bien le type de manchettes qu'on pouvait lire à l'époque.
QUI SONT LES CINQ FEMMES CÉLÈBRES (de gauche à droite sur la photo, source :Archives nationales du Canada) :
Nellie L. McClung (1873-1951), romancière, journaliste, suffragette et militante au sein du mouvement de tempérance. Députée à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta, elle fut la seule femme à siéger au Dominion War Council et la première femme à faire partie du Conseil des gouverneurs de la Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Irene Parlby (1868-1965), suffragette et femme politique. Elle fut élue en 1916 présidente de la section féminine de la United Farmers of Alberta et, en 1921, députée à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta. Elle siégeait encore au Parlement au moment de l'affaire « personnes ».
Emily G. Murphy (1868-1933), instigatrice de l'affaire « personnes », écrivaine et première femme à siéger comme juge municipale dans l'Empire britannique. Elle a revendiqué les droits des femmes mariées, a été présidente nationale du Canadian Women's Press Club de 1913 à 1920, vice-présidente du National Council of Women et première présidente de la Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.
Henrietta Muir Edwards, (1849-1931), journaliste, suffragette et organisatrice, lutta pour l'égalité des droits des femmes et des épouses, et pour les allocations familiales. En 1875, à Montréal, elle fonda la Working Girls' Association, qui deviendrait un jour la Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). Plus tard, lorsqu'elle habitait l'Alberta, elle compila deux recueils de lois provinciales et fédérales concernant les femmes et les enfants.
Louise McKinney (1868-1931), femme politique et militante de la tempérance. Elle présida la Dominion Women's Christian Union et fut élue à l'Assemblée législative de l'Alberta en 1917 comme représentante de la ligue non partisane.

New Deal mural entitled "Indians Watching Stage Coach in the Distance" painted by Edward Buk Ulreich in 1937. During post office renovations in 1967, the mural (along with a second painted by Ulreich) was removed and claimed as "salvage" by the contractor. This mural was removed to the Columbia Federal Building on December 27, 1981 where it remained until March 2004. In 2010, both murals were moved to the National Archives in Kansas City.

Reading Abbey Exhibition, preparatory work for joint exhibition with artist Keith Lawrence entitled "Journeying"
For the past six weeks I've been working at some new artworks based on Reading Abbey and the town's historic churches. The exhibition will be held in the middle of Reading near the site of its ancient Abbey ruins at Abbey Baptist Church whose foundations were laid in 1640 close to the Holy Brook. These illustrations/prints are still in their early stages. One tends to start a few things to see how certain ideas will work together. I hope to show a selection of about ten of these in September, it's great to look at buildings I've been familiar with one way or another throughout my adult life. I'm not idealising them in any way; I want to show Reading as the busy modern place it is a shopping Mecca, whose medieval past is somehow forgotten, and yet the towers of St Laurence, Mary Minster and the classical portico of St Mary's Castle Street remind one that this was not always the case. Over the past few weeks I've been drawing various people on their way to work on foot, bike or car to fit the theme of Journeying. Gradually the compositions are coming together. At this stage I'm blocking in colour so they appear rather jagged brash and angular in some ways. So far I've started about fourteen works. I have taken hundreds of photographs to aid me, and have studied some of the history in Reading Museum.
From top left St Giles (Church Street), St Laurence (Friar Street), St Laurence, Tower, Reading Abbey and Prison and St Mary Castle Street. Early colour map layouts for prints uncorrected.
I hope to cover some of the following themes in this series:-Reading Gaol/ Abbey Ruins/Contemporary Reading/Trades ancient modern cloth to computers/shopping People walking, cars on bikes/The Holy Brook/ The Kennet/ Ancient paths streets.
The massive Cluiac Abbey of Reading was founded by William of Malmesbury in 1121, many of the town's churches date back to this early period, however with the dissolution of the monestaries and the great upheavals of the C16 and C17 left Reading's ecclesiastical buildings forever changed. Unlike Oxford, Reading had no historic university (until 1892), and its town's history was shaped by trade and its important location on the road between London and Bath and the rivers Kennet and Thames.
Reading's prosperity has meant that its town churches were all heavily restored in the nineteenth century, St Laurence (also recently re-ordered), St Mary Minster (Butts) , Greyfriars and St Giles all have medieval origins and some remains. St Mary Castle Street (Episcopalian) 1798 was by its fine facade with six giant Corinthian columns and pediment is impressive. Its cupola was lost during last century. The portico is by H&N Briant. The church largely dates from 1840-42.
Wrongly entitled on the box as "Geburt Mariae" [Birth of Mary], actually "Heimsuchung Mariae" or "Visitation of the Virgin Mary".

Through this photographic portfolio entitled “LIQUID SUBURBS” we want to focus on the theme of suburbs understood as both physical spaces and metaphorical dimensions. In the peripheries, in modern times, we have associated in negative terms what Bauman defines as “forced individualism”, as the liberation from any possible social bond and consequent solitary management of “risk”, uncertainty and the fears that derive from it. In a “liquid” society, life, particularly in the suburbs, seems to settle down and flatten itself in an eternal arid present of future prospects, similar to quicksand, amidst increasingly heavy and immobilizing doubts and perplexities, anchored to certainties linked to a past that is not it exists more and instead persists with nostalgia in the memories of flexible men, weakening them transformative capacity of reality. To adapt to continuous change and the structural risks of the second modernity, man has preferred to abandon the thought of introspection by adopting a mentality of “survival” that feeds on a “fast” thought typical of machines. A thought that does not allow for any deep reflection of one's own experiences, which does not provide the possibility of authentically taking care of one's self and which is shown through the construction, reflected by the architecture of the suburbs (as highlighted in the portfolio), of a “patchwork” Composed of many small and fragile fragments, often devoid of ties and connections, which are unable to give meaning and significance to the existential path of the individual as well as of the family nucleus and consequently of the non-community itself.

Miro's Chicago
Also entitled: "The Sun, The Moon and One Star", 1967
Installed: 1981
Joan Miró (1893-1983)
Brunswick Plaza
West of 60 West Washington Street
(between Dearborn and Clark Streets)
Her shape and pose reminiscent of the famous Minoan snake goddess figurine from Crete, Miro’s Chicago is a 39-foot / 12 meter tall stylized female form fashioned from concrete over a metallic armature, ceramic tile, and bronze, on a travertine stone base.
Placed in a small plaza between the Chicago Temple Building and the Cook County Administration Building, the statue is often overlooked in favor of Picasso's sculpture in Daley Center Plaza on the opposite side of the street.
Originally to be installed the same year as Picasso’s work, the plan was abandoned, due to financial issues, by the Brunswick Corporation, which commissioned the piece. It remained a small maquette for some 18 years until a committee, led by Stanley Freehlin, raised over half of the necessary funds from private donors and the City of Chicago contributed matching funds. The finished figure was unveiled on April 20, 1981, by Chicago’s first female mayor, Jane Byrne. The Art Institute of Chicago maintains Miro's plaster "Chicago" maquette from 1963: www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/100666.

Chicago's "Loop" is the city's official downtown area. The second largest downtown business district in the United States, the Loop's boundaries are the Chicago River on the west, Michigan Avenue on the east, Wacker Drive on the north and Congress Parkway on the south. The Loop is known for its famous skyscrapers and historic buildings; it has been the site of architectural creativity and experimentation for years.
Armory Center for the Arts is pleased to present an exhibition entitled Music for Hoarders, a video projection and installation by Los Angeles-based artist Dawn Kasper that documents a live "visual poem performance action" of the same name. Music for Hoarders, organized by Armory curator Irene Tsatsos, will be on display from February 12 – May 13, 2012 in the Armory’s Pasadena Art Alliance Gallery. A public opening reception will take place on Saturday, February 11 from 7-9pm in conjunction with Armory’s opening of simultaneous solo exhibitions by Richard Jackson, Nicolas Grider, and Jocelyn Foye. The exhibitions by Kasper, Grider, and Foye coincide with the Armory’s lead exhibition, Richard Jackson’s Accidents in Abstract Painting, the Armory, creating an opportunity for visitors to reflect on the shared conceptual and/or formal considerations between and among the works.
Originally performed in 2010 at Honor Fraser Gallery in Culver City, California, the performance Music for Hoarders featured a unique musical score designed specifically for the gallery environment. The structure of their composition was determined according to a performer’s spontaneous interactions with a large and unwieldy set of found everyday objects that had been stacked in the middle of the space. Musicians employed an aleatoric technique; they played whenever an object was touched, each musician assigned a sound to that object, each sound was performed during the duration of the object's use, and the sound assisted in informing the performer’s movements during the duration of the performance. The improvised musical interpretations of everyday objects compounded throughout the performance; the resulting full, layered sound, “hoarded” in the gallery, was meant to invoke the idea and physical sense of the hoarding of human emotions. The Armory will present documentation of this performance in a single-channel video installation with chairs and a new painting directly on the wall.
About the Artist
The work of Los Angeles-based performance artist Dawn Kasper addresses a deep fascination with the subjects of vulnerability, desire, process, and the construction and location of meaning. She critiques the corporate aspects of our culture by examining emotions – such as fear, panic, hate, envy, lust – through which advertisers, news media, and other commercial entities, manipulate us, and in doing so strives to create a place of shared camaraderie. Kasper often performs in a premeditated yet spontaneous manner, generally using props, slapstick comedy, and monologue to ask fundamental questions such as What is existence? or What is a physical object?. She then attempts to answer these life questions, and more, while inhabiting different characters and personas, each differentiated through costume and costume changes, with all shifts taking place before the audience.
The environments in which Kasper performs, created through the use of props, musical instruments, and diverse personae, provide what she calls an “open-air laboratory (of thought),” creating a theatrical space while also doubling as a platform for living sculpture. “Everything is in play,” she says, “and everything is mobile.” Kasper often repeats actions and gestures in her performances, invoking a feeling of ritual or ritualistic behavior. Kasper’s performances are often extremely physical – her various characters often construct a sculpture or installation, marking her study into being and process, and serving as an illustration of her findings.
Dawn Kasper has performed and exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions including the Migros Museum Für Genenwartskunst in Zurich and LISTE Basel, both in Switzerland; Art Basel Art Positions and David Castillo Gallery, both in Miami; Newman Popiashvili Gallery, Leo Koenig Inc., Projekte, and Art in General, all in New York; Copy Gallery, Philadelphia; and Anna Helwing Gallery, Circus Gallery, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, Hammer Museum, and Museum of Contemporary Art, all in Los Angeles. Kasper is one of the acting co-directors of the performance and experimental art venue Human Resources in Los Angeles.
The emergency vet market in the United States is a free market and every doctor is entitled to collect as much as he sees fit and cover for the treatments he performs. I would like to explain in this article what are the elements that make up the cost of veterinary care, how it directly affects the quality of treatment and why it is not advisable to compromise. In fact, the work of veterinarians is a work consisting of a component of knowledge / training and a component of handwork / talent and equipment. The pricing component is divided into several vehicles: materials and laboratory work, work time, work environment and more.
Materials:
As you can imagine the vet market is a highly developed market. There are many companies that manufacture different types of materials, there are companies that import materials from abroad and as in every business there is competition between companies and differences in quality of materials, as in any business one of the methods of increasing profits is to reduce the costs. Relatively new materials that are not known for many years, materials from unknown companies, all at the expense of the pet A veterinarian who uses quality, well-known materials with good quality control will not be able to cheapen the treatment so that it will result in a loss. Something was wrong !!!
Equipment in our clinic
Our emergency clinic has advanced equipment and a range of medical services and surgeons, many innovative equipment including a digital X-ray machine, an ultrasound machine, a modern blood lab, an endoscopy, a cytology laboratory, operating rooms and hospitalization rooms. This equipment is upgraded every two to three years and allows for diagnoses and treatments at the highest level possible in the field of veterinary medicine.
Workspace:
An emergency veterinarian does not work alone and there is a team that is a separate part of the home. A good team is a very important and inseparable part of the treatment experience, and the clinic itself has surges such as water, electricity, municipal taxes, wear of equipment, etc., which are taken into consideration in the pricing of the treatments
In conclusion:
Even in an emergency vet I have no doubt that the cheapest, in most cases the most expensive, unfortunately, many patients who support me are disappointed by cheap veterinarians. Following a second round of treatments and at an additional cost - so that in the overall calculation - it is better to go for quality in the first place and not to invest twice (without talking about physical and mental suffering and investment in terms of patient time)

"I started trading with Noshee on August 18th,2010 with $20,000, today,
after just over a month, I'm up over $30,000 in profits! That's amazing!"
Financial Markets Wizard Member M.K.
In the month of December so far, my members have hit winners on 26 out of 27
trades, good for an astounding 96.00% win ratio. If you'd like to begin
amassing fortune alongside myself, while the manipulators are trying to get
the hard earned money from naive traders then here's your chance.
Using my proprietary trading methodology my members are amassing fortune on
daily basis. As you see, this methodology is on fire as we booked huge gains
on 26 out of 27 trades in the month of December so far. And I do not have
any plans in stopping now. In fact my members are well-positioned to lock in
gains next week.
As you will see we hit 26 winners in a row. What could 26 consecutive
winners mean for your trading returns? Without going into mathematical
calculations - Fortune! Your account, just like one of my members account,
would have grown by more than 150% in just 21 calendar days. On annualized
basis this 1669% growth.
What is the secret behind this unbelievable returns?
As you see the trick to achieve winning streak is in getting into the trades
where big money is flowing in or out and to get out of the trade just before
it hits our target. Knowing your exit price point in advance is crucial to
your success. In option trading you cannot simply watch the chart to exit.
By the time chart gives you exit signal major portion of your gain is
already gone. By knowing in advance where the stock is headed and where it
will turn around my members lock their gains swiftly. This quick maneuver
keep my members accounts growing while having the minimum exposure in the
market on daily basis.
By the way once in a while we do hit home run and to be honest with you
these home runs do not come every day but when they come the account balance
explode to the upside. Please take a look at our home runners.

AN ESSAY ON ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY ENTITLED
CATTAILS AND POND PLANTS.
THIS PHOTO IS ONE OF A SERIES OF 80s photos shot with Olympus OM 77, one of the best cameras I have owned.
Now shooting digital for several reasons: economy and convenience.
When I first began shooting back in the early 60s, I used a format camera furnished by the USN, did my own developing, etc. However, due to impatience on my part and the desire to shoot a wide and varied subject matter, I switched to a Petri 35 MM and abandoned the world of FStops, shutter speeds, etc. I put it on A and that's where it's been ever since.
Not exactly a purist by any stretch of the imagination, I was still reluctant to switch to digital. "How could a digital pick up all the details?" I asked myself. And then I answered my question with a question: AM I SHOOTING DETAILS OR SUBJECT MATTER? So, what makes a great photo? A lot of details or a wide brush stroke that attracts attention and demands the response: "Man, what a fantastic photo!"
Rarely have I heard admirers of great photos discussing the finer points or the details. Perhaps that old adage about first impressions making lasting impressions has some value that is too frequently overlooked in the world of tech-foto. That photo that overshadows all photos is the photo that says "look at me and look at me now!" The photo above does not have that type of impact; it is, simply, a photo that is calm, has a decent blend of colors and hues and a better than average depth of field blur. I should stick to watercolors; they are simpler. But then, of course, there's the matter of getting the washes just right, the distance so so, the balance and composition just right.
How does one figure out when they are really an artist? It's a public decision, really. And one way to figure out the real artists on Flickr is to check the comments, the followings. There are some really fantastic artists exhibiting and if one is not careful, one who is beginning can be overcome by the talent and success of others. To combat this tricky way of being tricked to quit trying is to trick oneself into believing that one's work is expressive of one's personal view, one's special way of seeing things differently.
Sooner or later, I have found, one's best work is usually identified. Art is not, however, a popularity contest, but time and lenth of exposure does matter. I have browsed numerous galleries and seen some great work with only a few complimentary comments. Reason? The individual has not added enough tags or added tags that are tired and too general.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Rhine-Westphalia
North Rhine-Westphalia (German: Nordrhein-Westfalen, usually shortened to NRW, official short form NW) is the westernmost and - in terms of population and economic output - the largest Federal State of Germany. North Rhine-Westphalia has over 18 million inhabitants, contributes about 22% of Germany's gross domestic product and comprises a land area of 34,083 km (13,158 square miles). North Rhine-Westphalia is situated in the Western part of Germany and shares borders with Belgium and the Netherlands. It has borders with the German states of Lower Saxony to the North and Northeast, Rhineland-Palatinate to the Southwest and Hesse to the Southeast.

The capital city is Düsseldorf, and the largest city is Cologne (Köln). Other major cities are Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Oberhausen, Aachen, Bielefeld, Bonn, Bochum, Bottrop, Bergisch Gladbach, Mönchengladbach, Mülheim, Münster, Gelsenkirchen, Krefeld, Hagen, Hamm, Herne, Iserlohn, Leverkusen, Neuss, Paderborn, Recklinghausen, Remscheid, Siegen, Solingen, Witten and Wuppertal.
The state is centred on the sprawling Rhine-Ruhr urbanised region, which contains the cities of Düsseldorf, Bonn and Cologne as well as the Ruhr Area industrial complex. The Ruhr area consists of, among others, the cities of Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen and Oberhausen.
The state's area covers a maximum distance of 291 km from north to south, and 266 km from east to west.
The total length of the state's borders is 1,645 km. The following countries and states have a border with North Rhine-Westphalia:
Belgium (99 km)
The Netherlands (387 km)
Lower Saxony (583 km)
Hessen (269 km)
Rhineland Palatinate (307 km)
For many people North Rhine-Westphalia is synonymous with industrial areas and agglomerating cities. But the largest part of the state is used for agriculture (almost 52%), forests cover 25%. The southern parts of the Teutoburg Forest are located in the northeast. In the southwest, Nordrhein-Westafalen shares in a small part of the Eifel, located on the borders with Belgium and Rheinland-Pfalz. The southeast is occupied by the sparsely populated regions of Sauerland and Siegerland. The northwestern areas of the state are part of the Northern European Lowlands.
The most important rivers that run at least partially through North Rhine-Westphalia include: Rhine, Ruhr, Ems, Lippe and Weser. The Pader, which runs only through the city of Paderborn, is considered the shortest river in Germany.
The state of North Rhine-Westphalia was established by the British military administration on 25 October 1946. Originally it consisted of Westphalia and the northern parts of the Rhine Province, both formerly belonging to Prussia. In 1947 the former state of Lippe was merged with North Rhine-Westphalia, hence leading to the present borders of the state.
SEPTIC FLESH considered to be one of the pioneers of the Hellenic death metal sound, were formed in the 90’s.
After a demo entitled “Forgotten Path” and a Mini Lp entitled "Temple of the Lost Race" they managed to attract the attention of the French label Holly records, gaining access to the wider underground scene.
Their first full length album entitled "Mystic Places of Dawn" was recorded in April 1994 with M.W. Daoloth (from the cult black metal band Necromantia) as Co-producer.
One year later, in June 1995, they released "Esoptron", a dark opus with deep ancient Hellenic musical influences and themes dealing with philosophy and the occult.
The album that followed two years later, was entitled "Ophidian Wheel". The band added female vocals to the formula, recruiting Natalie Rassoulis. The neo-classical experimentations gained ground, adding a more theatrical dimension to the band’s sound.
In March 1998, the band released "Fallen Temple". It was a “crossroad” that represented the past of the band (the compositions of the rare “Temple of the Lost Race” re-recorded) but also presented a glimpse to the future, with some new material. In September of the same year, was also released a limited EP entitled "D.N.A Choronzone", which included the video clip for the song "The Eldest Cosmonaut" and 4 special tracks.
In June 1999, the band invaded Sweden to record with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordstrom "Revolution DNA". The album was launched in October 1999 and presented highly addictive material, with a more straight forward metal attitude.
The first era of the band was concluded with the release of “Sumerian Daemons” in 2002. This album was the turning point to a more brutal and bombastic sound, while the dominating choir parts in Ancient Sumerian language, created a truly demonic atmosphere.
The next chapter of SEPTICFLESH (with the two words merged together from now on) begun in 2008, as the band signed with French labor Season of Mist and released "Communion". The album was recorded once again at Fredman studios in Sweden, with Fredrik Nordstrom as producer. Music-wise, it was a bold step forwards, as the band decided to utilize for the first time a full orchestra. The Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague was chosen for the task, while Chris Antoniou, having obtained a Bachelor's and Master's degree in concert music in Londod, was responsible for the classical arrangements. The result was a unique merge of Death Metal heaviness, with Symphonic rage.
The next album "The Great Mass" was released in 2011. This time, the band collaborated with Peter Tägtgren for the production. The songs were heavy and at the same time highly technical and experimental, as the orchestral parts were further evolved. In addition the band collaborated with two exceptional female vocalists, Androniki Skoula (Mezzo Soprano) and Iliana Tsakiraki (Soprano). The overall result was a Grand dark metal "soundtrack".
The latest effort of the band is "Titan" released in 2014. The album was produced from Logan Mader. The title of the album, pretty much sums up its sound and general atmosphere. Primordial, menacing, majestic. Besides the use of Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague for the third time, the band worked for the first time with the Children Choir of Prague, adding an eerie tone to the songs. After long years of experimentation, Septicflesh have reached to a point that their metal and symphonic elements are fused together in a solid unity. The song "Prometheus" (that is very indicative of this balance between power and atmosphere), was chosen to visually represent the album, in the form of a video clip.

I was on a photoshoot entitled 'Minimal Photography - Maximum Impact" and I wasn't doing very well with my minimal. I'm definitely a bigger picture person! I really liked the shapes and the colour of the very plain metal beach huts on Eastbourne Beach but then the little dogs came into the frame. Not a problem for me - if you're going to have two dogs in a minimalist image what better two could you have?
This sculpture is entitled "Mastadon". It is one of two sculptures by Cleveland artist Viktor Schreckengost , that were at the entrances of the old Pachyderm Building at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland,Ohio. The other sculpture entitled "Mammoth" was located at the other entrance of the building. Both sculptures were part of the Pachyderm Building since 1957. They were removed in 2008 during the construction of the new African Elephant Crossing Exhibit which opened in May 2011. Both sculptures are being restored and the zoo plans to exhibit them in the future. The old Pachyderm Building once housed Elephants, Hippos, Tapirs, Warthogs, and many years ago Rhinoceros and Giraffes. It also housed the Aldabra Tortoises in the winter.
I was going to just entitle this Cockadoodle doo, but driving in this morning the DJ played the old Glen Miller song "In the Mood". I found I couldn't help but "dance" along to it as I was driving along. It really brightened up my Monday morning.
Music is one of my passions and I have what one could term as eclectic taste. Anything that moves me either physically or mentally is alright by me no matter who is playing. From old Mowtown to Faithless from Beach Boys to Archade Fire - it's all great to me:-))
So here's some swing to brighten up your day!

One of a collection of nine contemporary artworks, collectively entitled Stations of Water.
The installations ( September and October 2017) form part of St Paul's Institute's International Cathedral project, JustWater, which aims to increase awareness of water justice around the world.
Stations of Water is modelled on the liturgy of the Stations of the Cross, with each piece inspired by water and related to themes such as religious rituals, access to clean drinking water, pollution, conservation, the privatisation of water, drought and global warming. Each Station is either a painting, sculpture, video, sound or light installation.
The artists, from the UK, Mexico, USA, Spain, Russia and New Zealand, will be working alongside the Cathedral's Schools and Family Learning Department to run art and education projects for visiting schools and families.
Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price joined a crowd of cycling enthusiasts for the unveiling of Jim Beckman's metal sculpture along the Trinity River entitled, "The Peleton," a term for the main group of cyclists in a race.
You can learn more about Mr. Beckman and his art at www.jimbeckman.com/.
This album is part of the event coverage for the Fort Worth Portrait Project. The project tells the story of Fort Worth from 2014 - 2044 one captioned portrait at a time, but I also enjoy covering events like this one too.

I have always been partial with Flickr. Frankly, I don't like a lot about it. The interface, usefullness, how it handles groups, sets, etc. The main reason I stay here is because of established friends, both locally and globally.
Being a non-paying subscriber greatly limits access so we are forced to pay subscription from the very start.
I also had a bad experience with Yahoo services in the past. Basically, they continued to bill me without my knowledge even after I verbally (and eventually in writing) cancelled the service multiple times. This was a few years ago. Their service was getting expensive every year so I moved my domain to www.1and1.com and eventually used them as web hosting
-----
Has anybody tried www.zoomr.com? Eerily similar to Flickr in some basic aspects but with way better interface and functions.
Taken from the site...
"Zooomr is free. There is no upload limit, bandwidth limit, download limit, file size limit, set limit, or number of photo limits. We believe in no limit photo sharing. We think it's about the best free photo sharing account you can get right now."
Best of all, it's a stock photography bin but wherein the photographer has control. License your image from $5 to $500 and zoomr will just keep 20%. Basically any image you have on Zoomr can be licensed at your discretion. It's as easy as sliding a lever to set the price you want. Don't be overzealous though.
An author from techcrunch said, zoomr is "flickr on steroids". Read more here. Another great read here.
Zoomr is not perfect but I've seen improvements in the last few months.
www.zooomr.com/photos/psilver/
-----
Another worthy site is www.pbase.com. I think it is more for serious photographers (unlike flickr which I think is more of a dumping ground) but it is a great site if you want to take photography seriously. A lot of great information can be found there especially on their online pbase magazine which is free for download (pdf).
I have a pbase account I opened 5 years ago where I posted my pictures mostly of friends, business and business associates. It is not active now but the images are still there. If you want to see me (and my life) more than 5 years ago, you can view it here. www.pbase.com/jbrians
Connectiv is a business I used to own back home. We had branches in Malate and Legarda, Philippines. We were about to open a branch in Morayta (Merriam-Webster Bookstore) when I left for the US.

Sooo, will I still be staying with flickr? Probably... Only because I got great friends here and not for Yahoo's sake.
I'll probably get kicked out of flickr now. lol!
I'm going back to sleep. :P
*Thanks Dee for the email discussion about pbase.

"About the image, this was taken for the XShot Photography Contest held last September. I used an old Nikon 3100 point and shoot and a cool product called an XShot. I have a cap on because I just got up from bed when this was taken!"
This was my winner in the Project Doubletake project we entitled "Landscape Wide Open". Until yesterday. At the last minute I found something I liked better. More on that in a few days.
The idea for this mini-project was to take the widest aperture you own - regardless of focal length of lens - and make a landscape. A lot of us own 50mm big aperture lens - and this shot was made at f/1.4 on such a lens. It's - to me - the antithesis of what a landscape lens should be. And yet - if held in front of the right scene you can make things happen.
Standing on the East Peoria Riverfront the other evening - at a time a little too early for dramatic light - I found these thistles - some of the nastiest meanest plants on eart - and focused on them. This wonderfully softened the Michel Bridge and the Peoria skyline in the background and I had my shot. Until yesterday. Way it goes sometimes.
Entitled ‘Pychedelia’, this puzzle was cut by Terry Walters (Grandpa TJ). A masterpiece of line cutting with five levels of plywood. 16” x 12”. I have yet to count the pieces. I will provide more photos when I dismantle it.
St Pancras New Church (so entitled to differentiate it from an older building that remains several blocks away to the north east) was built in 1819-22 to the designs of William & Henry Inwood and is a remarkable example of the then prevalent taste for Neo-Classical architecture. Few churches can claim to be as Grecian in style as this one, which boasts the unique features of two porticoes flanking the east end copied directly from the famous caryatid porch of the Erectheum on the Athenian Acropolis, complete with column figures in terracotta (molded in sections around cast-iron columns). The spindly octagonal tower is a major landmark to visitors arriving at nearby Euston Station just over the main road (as it has welcomed me on many visits to the capital).
The interior of the church continues the theme of Classical severity, with a broad flat coffered ceiling spanning the nave with the apse beyond adding a touch of enrichment. The Victorian glass in the windows does make the space a little gloomier than it could be. The galleries remain and create side aisles beneath them but otherwise the interior retains the impression of a large unified space.
I am unsure what normal opening times are for this church but I believe it is usually open in office hours during the day.
This piece is entitled "self portrait of ones entire life". I executed this piece with the a theory I developed that is called Dimensionalism . This theory has its inspiration form my experiences with pre-seizure events for I have epilepsy. In this state I become detached from reality and see time in a different construct,that of a hyper intensity. A hyper awareness of a moment and everything that constructs it from sounds,thoughts,things tactile . While in these pre seizure states, some instances time is slowed down/speed up or frozen. While in other instances I am forced away form all comprehension of what is in my present environment and reality takes on a totally foreign existence where all has to be re learned.
For the viewers of my piece all of life is in dimensions and how one moves through these dimensions of either large dimensional constructs such as ones life or to the minute dimensional construct of a simple word. Thus giving the viewer this new perspective of time and space. The suspended animation of the piece is only dynamic as the viewer views the piece from the narrower sides form either end where a visible play of time sequencing exists and ones eye is drawn into the piece...
A perspective of a Dimesionalist where one has a view of a moment with a gods eye/time traveler or a pure energy source . From looking at a simple word to a memory one has. All is captured in dimensions. There are other branches of my theory that further portray my experiences. Demensionalising and facitile dimensionalism. These ideas also play with the constructs of how one sees time/moment.I hope to execute these ideas in the future...........
All these ideas/theories have a direct correlation with present day society...from the over abundance of information that is transferred by different technologies to the ways these technologies directly affect our existence and how it adds other dimensions of time to our lives.
I will be placing more info online in the future. and creating a temp website that fully explains all the details and shows examples of these theories as well as go into more details..

The Springfield History Theater currently has a display entitled One Hundred Years of Jewish Life in the Valley: From Shtetl to Suburb.
During the early days of the city, the number of Jews who lived there was small, but, starting in 1910, the number began to grow, with people coming from Europe to settle in Western Massachusetts. The population grew large enough to support six Orthodox Synagogs.
The basic economy of Springfield has changed and Jewish children who grew up there are moving away after they grow up. These are things that were used in a Synagog that has had to be shut down.

This sculpture, consisting of 10- foot-high metal scales is entitled Quo vadis?, a Latin phrase meaning, "Where are you going?"
The artist who created Quo vadis? is former Xavier University sculpting professor Gagik Aroutiunian. Originally from Armenia, he moved to Canada and then to the United States, where he created sculptures before settling at Xavier University and then moving on again.
Though he left Xavier in May for DePaul University in Chicago, the campus is still waiting for the last piece of the sculpture to arrive. Right now, the pans of the scales are empty, and the balance in the scales is locked. In the future, Xavier is going to receive 24 metal weights to finish the statue.
Each disc-shaped weight will have a different word such as "faith," "love," "justice," or "compassion" incised within it, written in several languages including English, Arabic, Hebrew and Chinese.
Sculptor Aroutiunian means for Quo vadis? to be an interactive reflection for students.
Fr. Leo Klein, S. J., who worked with Aroutiunian on this project, explains, "You look at the title, and you ask what these various things mean to me?" Students can then decide on which side of the scales the various values weigh in their own lives.
The statue is to be a peaceful demonstration against injustice.
According to Chris Wesley, "Especially now, in a time of war, people take justice for granted as something that comes from revenge, but justice comes through peace."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quo_vadis%3F
Quo vadis? is a Latin phrase meaning "Where are you going?" or "Whither goest thou?" The modern usage of the phrase refers to Christian tradition, related in the apocryphal Acts of Peter (Vercelli Acts XXXV), in which Saint Peter meets Jesus as Peter is fleeing from likely crucifixion in Rome. Peter asks Jesus the question "Quo vadis?" Jesus's answer, "I am going to Rome to be crucified again" (Romam vado iterum crucifigi.), prompts Peter to gain the courage to continue his ministry and eventually become a martyr.
Visitors attend world’s first “invisible” photography exhibition - featuring images so small that they require a microscope to be seen. Entitled “Dotography”, the exhibition was organised by The Big Bang Fair 2018 to raise awareness of the largest celebration of STEM for young people in the UK. The collection includes famous images of scientific importance and original photos submitted by celebrities, the STEM community and local school children. Dotography runs until 28th January at the Birmingham Bullring Link Street, Unit K2.
This sculpture is entitled, "Hamlet: What Wilt Thou Do For Her". The sculptor is Michele Firpo-Cappiello. It is located in the garden at Anne Hathaway's Cottage.
(From Wikipedia):
Anne Hathaway's Cottage is a twelve-roomed farmhouse where Anne Hathaway, the wife of William Shakespeare, lived as a child in the village of Shottery, Warwickshire, England, about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Stratford-upon-Avon. Spacious, and with several bedrooms, it is now set in extensive gardens.
The earliest part of the house was built prior to the 15th century. The cottage was known as Newlands Farm in Shakespeare's day and had more than 90 acres (36 hectares) of land attached to it. As in many houses of the period, it has multiple chimneys to spread the heat evenly throughout the house during winter. The largest chimney was used for cooking. It also has visible timber framing, typical of vernacular Tudor style architecture.
In 1969 the cottage was badly damaged in a fire, but was restored by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. It is now open to public visitors as a museum.
