I nearly entitled this, "Plan 'B' ", as, because of grey, windy, drizzly weather at the start of my holiday, I spent most of the first week going round churches in the S. Lakes, photographing any stained glass windows that caught my eye. This had definitely not been my first intention for the holiday!
The rather ornate East window in the delightful old, Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels in Hawkshead, depicts Jesus' Ascension into heaven, fourty days after his Resurrection, witnessed by the Disciples, (minus Judas, who betrayed him.) .The brochure notes that this window replaced a plain rectangular window (probably like Grasmere Church still has), and that for modern taste, the new one (1895) does not match the simple dignity of the old building. I couldn't agree more, as I'm not very keen on it either, but I posted it as a foil to the next which is of Grasmere.
The Nativity window in the South West corner of the Church is a very different style and one of my favourites, but I'll save that for Christmas time.
Detail of Ragamala miniature entitled 'Kanada ragini'. Text below shows an English transliteration of this spelled 'Kanro Raug'. Shows Krishna and a companion sitting on a roof terrace, while another figure can be seen in a boat on the river below.
Ragamala paintings are images which depict, in physical form, the 'modes' or scales used in Indian Classical Music, known as ragas. Usually accompanied by an inscription or poem, they elucidate the season and time of day in which a raga was meant to be performed, as well as its mood, and often portray the Hindu deities with which they are individually associated. The concept may have originally come about through the use of personification as an aide memoire for musicians, which then developed into physical imagery.
This collection, which is purportedly called the Raga Kalpadruma, originates from Jaipur in Northern India and has the description of the Raga written in Sanskrit on the back of each image. Including some Bengali and English text as well, the collection also contains a few pages from another Indian music manuscript, also written in Sanskrit. It was gifted to the university by Dwarkanath Tagore (1794-1846), grandfather of the poet laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) and is one of two sets of Ragamala paintings in the Oriental Manuscripts Collection, the other being Or.Ms 114.

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..

Wally Blunt was born to Oscar and Bessie Hannah Blunt in Scotland and raised for a time in England (Worcester, I believe). When he was quite young, the family moved to Vancouver British Columbia. Before the war, Wally worked, first as a truck driver for Eagle Times Delivery, and secondly as a worker in the veneering section of B.C. Plywoods. His favoured hobbies included skating, football, baseball, swimming, mechanics and photography
Before enlistment, Wally was a trainee in the Pre-Enlistment Education Program at Seaview High School in Vancouver where he brought his English, Science and Mathematics knowledge and skills to Grade X level. He was first stationed at #3 Manning Depot in Edmonton Alberta, but was moved to #8 Manning Depot in Souris, Manitoba. From Souris, Wally went to #7 Service Flying School in Fort MacLeod, Alberta, and then to #4 Initial Training School in Edmonton, Alberta. His next Canadian postings were at #6 Elementary Training School in Prince Albert Saskatchewan, #2 Manning Depot in Brandon, Manitoba, #7 Bombing and Gunner School in Paulson, #1 Central Navigational School in Rivers Manitoba Manitoba and # 3 Air Gunner Training School in Three Rivers. Quebec.
Wally disembarked at Liverpool on March 14, 1944, and was immediately shipped to #3 Personnel Receiving Centre, Bournemouth, Dorset to await his next posting. From Bournemouth, he attended #1 (Observer) Advanced Fly Unit in Wigtown, Scotland. On May 23, 1944, Wally arrived at #83 Operations Training Unit, Peplow, Shropshire (near Shrewsbury). He was killed on a training mission when the bomber in which he was acting as bomb-aimer, ditched in the Irish Sea on the night of July 22/23, 1944. Wally was buried at Blacon Cemetery in Chester

These days, airlines charge fees for everything - luggage, seats in the front of the plane, even snacks - so it should come as no surprise that the flight change fees are higher than ever. Many airlines have differentiated ticket classes, so you can buy a more expensive ticket change at first, but change your flight for free later. If you have an award point ticket, though, you are entitled to free flight changes on most major airlines. So if you have any query, contact us at Airlines customer service number toll-free.

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.

2 Week project entitled "Myth is a Female Moth". I loved the "Mortal Engines" books (Author-Philip Reeve). When I read on the brief that the piece could play with scale I though of making small models of the giant traction cities. I stoped myself from doing any research on the books or looking at any illustrations and just made it based on images created in my head while I was reading the books (over 4 years ago). It's meant to show a city being chased by another canabalistic city along the edge of the grand canyon...
It was a two week project but i experienced an unfortunate and strong bout of procrastination, so ended up making all of it in a bit of a rush in the two days before the end. The scenery is made from chipboard cut, cardboard,mod rock,clay and acrylic paint. The little cities are made from dismantled toy cars,flashing LEDs,corrugated card board,matchsticks and straws painted with acrylic.
Always wondered about true love, undying, that does not respect boundaries or barriers: where is he? How? who entitled to it?
We were born ready to love, just a gesture, a look, something that stimulates the senses and - BAM! - There it is, shining in our sky, we love our parents, brothers and sons, friends, pets, books, music, art and artists ... Our love grows with us, our changes with the tides.
But what about "that" love? He who brings to our lives the person who completes the cavities, stimulates our virtues and relegates to the background old defects? While waiting for him?
We can spend a lifetime looking for love this snatching that goes beyond rationality, seeking other loves of magnitude less familiarity, the feeling of comfort and security that only the reunion with the soul that can give us complete.
Some say, and I believe they are soulmates, that in the distant past have taken different paths and that, even unconsciously, continue to search for the eternity of many lifetimes, sometimes almost touching, but with independent paths. They are brothers, cousins, childhood friends or complete strangers that sometime show themselves connoisseurs of our true essence, they see through protective shields, masks used so that there is suffering, pain, rejection, loneliness masks that hide .
However, there are accounts of those who were blessed with the reunion with your soul mate, and the profits they passed to see the way clear for love; years of separation, impediments by family ties, distances ... barriers that in the end only strengthen the bond and did need to be together, where life is only to make sense as a complement to the other brings.
One of the books I like best, "The Bridge To Forever" by Richard Bach, tells the story with rare sensitivity and the path by which are soulmates. More than a novel, this is a story where the author himself is one of the characters, who give up after so much searching, "smacks of" casually with his soul mate. It's one of those books that take a different context and fit in many moments in our lives, and each new reading provides a new interpretation. I usually say that this book, in particular, has matured with me for many years, has been polishing up new facets of myself that I expect from my soulmate, my true love.
The author, Richard Bach, makes several references to another book, this a classic novel that is far from being un fairy tale "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Believes and I agree wholeheartedly that this is a masterpiece in the demonstration of true love involving soulmates, and takes several quotes, and one of the greatest strength and expression, "You become responsible for what captive" sums up the relentless pursuit pelnitude peace and feel that only when we recognize and embrace the true love.
There are several other examples of search and wait for greater love, and watching can identify each one of them suffering and anxiety to finally be able to take in his arms the object of desire, unhindered, without guilt, without fear, and then feel complete and at peace.
Alternatives to Investor-State Arbitration in a Multipolar World
By Markus Wagner
The session entitled “Alternatives to Investor-State Arbitration in a Multipolar World” and convened by Jason Yackee addressed potential reforms and improvements to international investment law.
Céline Lévesque from the University of Ottawa spoke about the possibility to make greater use of ADR in international investment law, specifically from the perspective of states. Her remarks focused on how states could – even at a relatively late stage of a dispute – avert the costly and time-consuming process of investment arbitration, involving disputes ranging from what would be perceived to be meritorious or unmeritorious claims. Such settlements are themselves not without costs (economic and political) and legal obstacles, but recent statistics show that the number of settlements is increasing. Even with respect to unmeritorious claims, there may be multiple opportunities for states to avoid drawn-out processes and avoid unnecessary costs, either by curbing the dispute in its entirety or at least by limiting the scope of the dispute (this could be achieved by a neutral assessment early on in the process). Professor Lévesque suggested that treaties should be adjusted to reflect these options.
Cliff Minjiao Chi, Associate Professor of International Law from Xiamen University Law School / China, discussed the opportunities to make use of domestic institutions for purposes of international investment law. While this opportunity is dependent on the underlying bilateral investment treaty (BIT), a number of reasons militate in favor of using domestic institutions. The first generation of China’s BITs allowed for both international and domestic dispute resolution. China’s current BITs allow for a broader use of international investment arbitration, while still retaining the opportunity for domestic dispute resolution, either through the court system or through administrative procedures. Some of these BITs make mandatory the exhaustion of administrative review procedures before being able to pursue arbitration on the international level.
Andrea K. Bjorklund (UC-Davis School of Law) addressed the opportunity that state to state arbitration may offer an alternative to the current investor-state arbitration system. Although the US – Australia BIT has famously adopted such a system, this has not developed into a larger trend. Nevertheless, if such a system were to be implemented more widely a number of questions arise. If such a system were to be implemented, such questions include who the state would act for (whether it asserts its own rights, the rights of the investor, some shared right), who would be responsible for compensation, what the remedies would be (prospective such as the remedies in place at the WTO or retrospective such as compensation) and who would be the beneficiary of such remedies, i.e. the investor or the state. Whatever the result of these questions, such a parallel mode of dispute settlement would thus require rules as to how parallel proceedings would complement each other.
Barry Appleton, founder and partner of Appleton & Associates International Lawyers, analyzed the opportunity of an appellate mechanism in international investment law, similar to the system of the WTO. Barry Appleton pointed out that this would require a fundamental amendment of the current system with its fragmented nature. Stepping back from this current debate however, Appleton addressed what he perceives to be the real challenge. In his view, the real problem arises not from the result of investor-state arbitration, but rather from an improper interpretation of international investment law (by taking account of the applicable rules of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties or the ILC Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts) and the lack of a minimum standard of qualification for international arbitrators.
The subsequent discussion centered on the nature of international investment law, whether there should be a “fork in the road” provision, mechanisms to improve the quality of the arbitrators and counsel and the interface between international investment law and other fields, such as international trade law and international finance.
The panel brought to light challenges for devising alternatives to the current system of international investment arbitration with its focus on dispute settlement between a state and an investor. As the panelists and the discussion made clear, the likelihood of the current system becoming displaced is slim to nonexistent. However, it also became apparent that the current system does not reflect the panoply of issues surrounding international investment law.
Markus Wagner is Associate Professor at the University of Miami School of Law and focuses his research in international economic law and the law of armed conflict. His latest publications include Conceptualizing the Shapeshifting Nature of Investment Law(yers) and Autonomy in the Battlespace: Independently Operating Weapon Systems and the Law of Armed Conflict.

When I looked through the door of the room where it hangs it spoke to me in a visceral way. They didn't have to be miners. They could have been shop workers, railroad workers or a crew of men on any job anywhere. I looked over the bunch of them half expecting to see either one of my Grandfathers looking back at me. Or this could have been a group shot of any machine shop I've worked in over the last forty-four years. although there would be more fatties and about half of them would be wearing camo of some kind.

Professor Daniel Williams will be giving a lecture in Austin entitled: "Black Skin, Blue Books: Frederick Douglass, Wales and Transatlantic Abolitionism"
See the Showcase programme and speakers:
www.swansea.ac.uk/texas-showcase/
Prof Williams says:
"A revealing chapter in the history of interactions between Wales and the United States involves the relationship between antislavery and the ethnic reconstruction of the Welsh which took place in the nineteenth century.
Their alleged anti-slavery credentials allowed the Welsh to define themselves as more ethical and Christian than the other British nations and was a key plank invention of Nonconformist, religious, ‘Welshness’.
That Frederick Douglass, the most famous of all African American abolitionists, came to Wales in 1846, reinforced this process of national invention as did the four Welsh language translations of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin that had appeared within two years of the novel’s appearance in English.
My paper draws on these episodes to explore the transnational and translinguistic cultural and political dialogue made possible by the internationalist character of the antislavery movement."
These are the pieces from my first solo show, entitled “The Ghost of the You Haunted Me..." held at Rotofugi Gallery in Chicago, IL on Sept 7, 2012.
This body of work is the culmination of many of the elements found in my custom toy work within my Forest of Sorrows narrative and I have strived to create a cohesive storyline that ties together many of the concepts and themes seen over the past couple of years.
In this story, when people pass onto the next life, those with unfinished business are taken to the Silva Dolorosa (The Forest of Sorrows) to begin a life anew, where the choices and decisions they make will determine how their lives turn out.
At the end of days as one’s life ebbs away, the Flederkanichen creatures arrive to shepherd these souls, manifested as a seed, and carry them to the Silva Dolorosa. Upon arriving, they drop the soul seeds down into the depths of the forest where the Saplings catch them, plant them in their heads waiting for them to bloom again, at which point they will plant them on the forest floor in the perfect place, so that the souls can begin their new lives.
On one particular day, with one particular soul seed dropped by the Flederkanichen, a big gust of wind blew the seed out of the hand of the Sapling assigned to it and it hit the ground, breaking the cardinal rule of the forest. It was at this moment that Locket, the geist girl was reborn in this limbo, confused and bewildered as to where she was. Frightened, she runs deep into the forest to discover who she was in her previous life, and what she was to become in the next.
Concurrently, at the moment at which Locket was born, the last guardian of the forest, the Hollow Knight, was awakened from deep slumber, tasked with ensuring the sanctity of the Silva and all of its denizens. He sets off on a quest to find Locket, only to encounter yet another new visitor to the forest - the ferocious and monstrous Blackwülf, who seems to be racing the Hollow Knight in a quest to reach Locket first.
This is the story of death, understanding, rebirth and redemption. I hope that the pieces I have created for this show will help to give an insight into this story that I have been telling.

I spend way too much time on Flickr. Period. I'm beginning to realize that it might be a slight obsession. I want to get better. I want to improve and learn and grow as a photographer. I see so many photos, and I think - wow, that's amazing. I want to understand how to do that. There's still so much to learn. Textures, proper lighting techniques, advanced knowledge in photoshop, blahblahblah. Photography is such a passion of mine, and I worry that maybe I chalk my "skills" up to more than they are. I worry that I won't ever be as good as some of the other talent I've seen, and the truth is that I may never be. But I am going to continue to hone my skills to the best that they can be. ♥

Between 1622 and 1625, Gian Lorenzo Bernini sculpted a Baroque, life-sized marble entitled Apollo and Daphne. Apollo clutches Daphne’s hip pursuing her as she flees trying to escape him. Apollo desperate and longing wears a laurel crown foreshadowing Daphne’s metamorphosis into the laurel tree. Daphne is portrayed halfway through her metamorphosis into the laurel tree with her arms already transforming into its branches as she flees and calls to her Father to save her from Apollo.[2]
Artists such as Antonio and Piero del Pollaiolo often manipulated scenes from famous Greek mythology into the setting of their time periods. In Pollaiolo's painting Apollo and Daphne, both Apollo and Daphne are shown dressed in Renaissance garments as Daphne is in the midst of transforming into the laurel tree.
The myth of Apollo and Daphne has been examined as a battle between chastity (Daphne) and sexual desires (Apollo). As Apollo lustfully pursues Daphne, she is saved through her metamorphosis and confinement into the laurel tree which can be seen as an act of eternal chastity. Daphne is forced to sacrifice her body and become the laurel tree as her only form of escape from the pressures of Apollo’s constant sexual desires. Apollo takes Daphne’s eternal chastity and crafts himself a wreath out of her laurel branches turning her symbol of chastity into a cultural symbol for him and other poets and musicians.

Condition Report:. In good condition commensurate with age with a few old minor repairs to edges. Wang Yian was one of the four most famous master landscape artists of the early Qing period. Born in one of the most prominent families in Taicang, Jiangsu province, he grew up in a privileged highly cultured environment. In 1633 Wang earned the second level juren degree and was appointed to a government position in Beijing. Using his family connections he then obtained a position as prefect of Lianzhou in Guangdong province in 1638. He stayed in this position until 1641, at which time he retired to his family estate where he built a retreat and devoted himself to literary and artistic endeavours. As a former student of Dong Qichang (1555-1636) and a member of the famous 'Nine Famous Friends of Painting', Wang subsequently became one of the most influential painters and theorists of the late 17th century. Together with Wang Shimin (1592-1680), Wang Hui (1637-1717) and Wang Yuanqi (1642-1715), Wang Yian is revered as one of the 'Four Wangs' who were anchors of the Orthodox school during the first sixty years of the Qing rule.

I love Valentine's Day. In a post entitled, "Happy Valentine's Day Kinda,"
I chronicled my musings regarding this day of love.
I always create a project for my soon to be wife during every major holiday. All are listed on my blog. Valentine's day is no exception.
"Metal to the Petal" is my attempt at to merge amore' (that's love) and ThriftStoreRemixology. I hope to give my Valentine's day gift an industrial design feel.
Every part has a metallic industrial look.
It is a simple concept, spray paint dead flowers, that I am still exploring and developing. I hope you love it.

This project was simple and easy to complete. I took dead roses and spray painted them a bronze color. Next I wrapped them in a metal colored foil to took from a discarded Poinsettia Christmas planter. Last, to in keeping with the industrial theme, I wrapped the flowers with a hose clamp in keeping with the project industrial design.

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..

Increased Concessions For Tertiary Students - Newman College Melbourne Team
Newman College Takes Student Welfare To Parliament
Six young University students will be in the chambers of Parliament House, Spring Street, this July, pushing for improved support for those attending higher education.
As a team, they have written a piece of proposed legislation entitled “Increased Concessions For Tertiary Students Bill” which they will debate as part of the 25th YMCA Victoria Youth Parliament.
Team members James Lenehan and newly elected 2011 Youth Premier Amy Bryans say that many students find trying to obtain a degree and financially stay afloat, a very difficult task.
“Seeing as university study is a full-time job as it is, students are time starved as well as literally starved” says James.
“By allowing these concessions for students we can invest in their future and take the burden off those who are struggling to cope” says Amy.
James (18) and Amy (19), will join Newman College team members Matthew Thomas (18), Humphrey Riorden (19), and Christian Pagliaro (18) along with 115 other young Victorians from schools, universities, YMCA’s and community groups from across the state for the six day residential event this July.
The team recently attended the 2011 Youth Parliament Training Weekend at Lady Northcote Campsite, Bacchus Marsh which gave them the opportunity to learn about issues brought forward by other teams, participate in public speaking, media training, elect Chamber Leaders and learn about parliamentary etiquette in preparation for the 25th Annual Youth Parliament.
Delivered by YMCA Victoria in conjunction with the Office for Youth, the program includes three days of debating in the Parliamentary Chambers in Spring St. Melbourne, as well as an official reception at Government House hosted by Governor Alex Chernov AO QC and his wife.
All bills passed by the Youth Parliament are given the assent of the Youth Governor and then handed directly to a representative of the Government at the Closing Ceremony, who then hands it on to the appropriate Government Ministers for consideration.
To date, more than 25 Youth Parliament Bills including drug testing for drivers, over the counter availability of the morning after pill, and last year replacing glass with plastics in Melbourne’s King Street nightclubs have gone onto become Victorian legislation.
The Newman College team will be debating in the chambers of Parliament House on Monday 11th July Tuesday 12th July and Thursday 14th July 2011, between 9:30am-4pm. Open to the public.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(shrub)
The spindles, genus Euonymus, comprise about 170-180 species of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and small trees. They live mostly in East Asia, including the Himalayas,[1] and they also have a distribution in Europe, Asia, Australasia, North America and Madagascar.
Mature Spindle fruit, after splitting open to reveal the seeds
The flowers are situated in small groups, inconspicuous and of green or yellow shades.[1] The leaves are opposite (rarely alternate) and simple ovoid, typically 2-15 cm long, and usually with a finely serrated margin.
The fruit is a pink-red four- or five- valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds. The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. All parts of the plants are poisonous to humans if eaten.The wood was traditionally used for the making of spindles for spinning wool; this use is the origin of the English name of the shrubs.
Spindles are popular garden shrubs, grown for their foliage, the deciduous species often exhibiting very bright red fall colours, and also for the decorative berries

When I first saw this picture I know I had to paint it, full credit to the original artist, it is a masterpiece. Bursting out of the Colosseum, on the left you have the elements of history and tradition, and on the right you have the future, which looks like a space craft, and in the middle you have the Centurion, signalling, forward...the past and future being lead by the present, how it should be.
Working full time as well, this picture may take me 3 to 4 days to complete, every night I will post more & more stages to completion. If you click on the Slideshow link below you can watch a Slideshow showing the many stages in the painting of the picture, iv uploaded 11 so far, it may take as many as 30 until im happy with it. Every night if you click on the same link you will see the new additions automatically added to the slidehow, giving you an insight into how 3D Paintings are created.

As with all civilisations, nations & empires, its not how strong you are, its what you stand for that counts , it is these values, not military might & brute force, that determines longevity & prosperity.
Many things have been said about the Romans, the recent film released 2010 entitled Centurion is a good example, as was Spartacus, and the birth & life of Jesus Christ. When all is said & done the Romans lasted an aweful long time, they must have been doing something right.
There demise was started with the emergence of a movement that put forth to mankind a much higher set of values, not a stronger military force. That movement is Christianity.
The Roman civilisation tried to Adapt, tried to absorb, but its decline was inevitable. The Catholic Church is what remains of the Roman branch of Christianity.
This picture entitled "The Bearded Lady" represents Magdalena Ventura, known colloquially as "The Bearded" because of his long and thick beard.
This woman was invited to the Royal Palace of Naples by Viceroy Fernando Enriquez Afan de Ribera, duke of Alcalá III to be portrayed by José de Ribera. On one side of the painting ther is an entry titled "the great miracle of nature" describing how Magdalena Ventura was portrayed at the age of 52.
Every citizen should be provided to basic health care. To me that includes medical, dental and vision.

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.

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..
