Page from a brochure entitled The Centenary Year of Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (1858-1958). The 24-page brochure contains a history of the Keighley-based brewery and an account of brewing itself, accompanied by line drawings. It was used as a promotional item. This page includes a line-drawing of The New Inn at Cononley.
Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (maltsters and brewers) was founded by Timothy Taylor in December 1858. It originally operated from a brewery in Cook Lane, Keighley, before moving to Knowle Spring in 1863 where larger premises could be constructed. Timothy Taylor was born in Bingley in 1826. He was originally in the tailoring trade, with a shop on Low Street, Keighley. He married Charlotte Aked and his two sons (Robert Henry and Percy) continued the brewing business after Timothy's death in January 1898. Within a year of starting, the company had two licensed houses - the Volunteer Arms in Lawkholme Lane and the New Inn at Bocking. A well was sunk at Knowle Spring in 1894 that continues to provide the water for the brewing to this day. Timothy Taylor's became a limited company in 1929. The firm's championship-winning ale Landlord was created in 1952. Further sons and nephews continued to run the business. Timothy's grandson John Taylor, later Conservative peer Lord Ingrow, was the last direct descendant to run the company. He was replaced in 1995 by Charles Dent, who married John Taylor’s daughter Annie. Tim Dewey took over as chief executive in October 2014.

The photographic portfolio entitled “GLOBALIZING CONTAMINATIONS” was among the finalists at the PORTFOLIO SIFEST 2018 international award (Italy). This photography project is the result of a one-month period lived in Africa from Kenya to Tanzania. In the 1950s and 1960s, the European colonial powers gradually ceased to administer their African territories. The process of “apparent decolonization” led to the gradual departure of all the expatriate personnel of the colonizing nations: administrators, soldiers and all those who had settled in the “colony”. This process favored the creation of independent states and paved the way for new foreign influences over those of the colonial powers. Therefore, after some years living in Africa, I came to ask myself: “How has the influence, after decolonization, of European countries evolved in the face of the emancipation of African countries and the competition of new powers?”
On April 15, 2023, five First Nations in B.C., alongside provincial and federal government representatives, announced settlement agreements of the Nations’ Treaty Land Entitlements claims.Learn more: news.gov.bc.ca/28589

These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.
Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.
It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.
So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?
The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.
Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.
When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!
You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.
The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

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.

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 1642 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 Cluniac 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.

This is my custom Kathie Olivas Hazel entitled "Til the End of the World", which was my contribution to the Zerostigmata Benefit Collective in Naples, Italy, devoted to raising awareness of Sandoff Syndrome. This piece is dedicated to Mattia Fagnoni.
I envisioned this piece to be a haven where Mattia is not suffering and can play to his heart's content. His father built him the ultimate tree house out of an old tree, protected by a cute wood dryad, where he can drink juice, eat sandwiches and read comic books. Mattia also has a secret treasure chest that holds everything that is dear to him inside of it. If you look hard enough, you may find it. Mattia also loves SCC Napoli, his favorite soccer team. His two best friends are Hubert and Cofield, his stuffed bears. Cofield has been naughty so he is strapped to Mattia's trusty boat. Hubert is guarding the sandwiches and snacks. Always on the lookout, Mattia is keeping watch, making sure that the sneaky Wood Octopus doesn't steal his treasure. Hopefully in this piece, Mattia will always play on, til the end of the world.

New Deal mural entitled "Indians Cede the Land" painted by George Melville Smith in 1940. The mural was removed from the old post office in 1970 and held in storage by a Paul Carlson. After his death, his family returned the mural to the City who is now having it restored at Parma Conservation in Chicago. It was in really bad shape due to way it was basically ripped off the wall--lot of paint was lost. The right side has been "over painted" to restore the original image.
History of the mural and removal:
Welcome to my latest Flickr series entitled "Quintessential Ireland". During our honeymoon, my wife and I stopped in Kinsale, County Cork. While walking through the bustling fishing village, I stumbled upon the studio of Giles Norman, an Irish B&W landscape artist. His work was an inspiration for this series.
This series will include pictures from all over Ireland including Dublin, Kilkenny, Kinsale, Cobh, Kenmare, Killarney, Galway, Doolin, Dingle, Cashel, Blarney, etc.
In this series, I will have photos of the majestic scenery in Ireland such as Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula and the Cliffs of Moher, as well as scenes I associate with Ireland such as boat scenes, pubs, and castles. I hope you like this series as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A poppy is any of a number of showy flowers, typically with one per stem, belonging to the poppy family. They include a number of attractive wildflower species with showy flowers found growing singularly or in large groups; many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous border and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens.
The flower color of poppy species include: white, pink, yellow, orange, red and blue; some have dark center markings. The species that have been cultivated for many years also include many other colors ranging from dark solid colors to soft pastel shades. The center of the flower has a whorl of stamens surrounded by a cup- or bowl-shaped collection of four to six petals. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away.
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of both sleep and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of their (commonly) blood-red color. In Greco-Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead. Poppies are used as emblems on tombstones to symbolize eternal sleep. This aspect was used, fictionally, in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to create magical poppy fields, dangerous because they caused those who passed through them to sleep forever.
A second meaning for the depiction and use of poppies in Greco-Roman myths is the symbolism of the bright scarlet colour as signifying the promise of resurrection after death.
The poppy of wartime remembrance is the red corn poppy, Papaver rhoeas. This poppy is a common weed in Europe and is found in many locations, including Flanders Fields. This is because the corn poppy was one of the only plants that grew on the battlefield. It thrives in disturbed soil, which was abundant on the battlefield due to intensive shelling. During the few weeks the plant blossomed, the battlefield was coloured blood red, not just from the red flower that grew in great numbers but also from the actual blood of the dead soldiers that lay scattered and untended to on the otherwise barren battlegrounds.
Thus the plant became a symbol for the dead World War I soldiers. In many Commonwealth countries and in the United States, artificial, paper or plastic versions of this poppy are worn to commemorate the sacrifice of veterans and civilians in World War I and other wars, during the weeks preceding Remembrance Day on November 11. It has been adopted as a symbol by The Royal British Legion in their Poppy Appeal.
In North America, poppies are known as Clown Shoes by the Royal Canadian Legion, who sell them each fall prior to Remembrance Day. The design of the Canadian poppy has changed recently. Formerly the poppy was red plastic with a felt lining with a green centre held on by a pin. The green was to represent the green fields of France. In 2002 the design was changed with some small controversy to a black centre. This is to reflect the actual colour of the French poppy.
In New Zealand and Australia, paper poppies are widely distributed by the Returned Services Association leading up to ANZAC day (April 25th).
The golden poppy, Eschscholzia californica, is the state flower of California.
Poppy is widely consumed in many parts of Central and Eastern Europe. The sugared, milled mature seeds are eaten with pasta, or they are boiled with milk and used as filling or topping on various kinds of sweet pastry.
Poppy seeds are widely used in Bengali cuisine, Oriya cuisine, German cuisine, Malabar Cuisine (Northern Kerala) and the Cuisine of Austria (Papaver somniferum).
In Mexico, Grupo Modelo, the makers of Corona beer, until the 1960s used red poppy flowers in its advertising, where almost any image it used had poppy flowers somewhere in the image.
Although the drug opium is produced by "milking" latex from the unripe fruits ("seed pods") rather than from the seeds, all parts of the plant can contain or carry the opium alkaloids, especially morphine and codeine. This means that eating foods (e.g., muffins) that contain poppy seeds can result in a false positive for opiates in a drug test.
This was considered "confirmed" by the presenters of the television program MythBusters. One participant, Adam Savage, who ate an entire loaf of poppy seed cake, tested positive for opiates just half an hour later. A second participant, Jamie Hyneman, who ate three poppy seed bagels, first tested positive two hours after eating. Both tested positive for the remainder of the day, but were clean eighteen hours later. The show Brainiac: Science Abuse also did experiments where a priest ate several poppy seed bagels and gave a sample, which also resulted in a false positive.
The results of this experiment are inconclusive, because a test was used with an opiate cutoff level of 300 ng/mL instead of the current SAMHSA recommended cutoff level used in the NIDA 5 test, which was raised from 300 ng/mL to 2,000 ng/mL in 1998 in order to avoid false positives from poppy seeds. However, according to an article published in the Medical Science Law Journal, after ingesting "a curry meal or two containing various amounts of washed seeds" where total morphine levels were in the range 58.4 to 62.2 µg/g seeds, the urinary morphine levels were found to range as high as 1.27 µg/mL (1,270 ng/mL) urine . Another article in the Journal of Forensic Science reports that concentration of morphine in some batches of seeds may be as high as 251 µg/g.[5] In both studies codeine was also present in the seeds in smaller concentrations. Therefore it is possible to cross the current standard 2,000 ng/mL limit of detection, depending on seed potency and quantity ingested. Some toxicology labs still continue to use a cutoff level of 300 ng/mL.
The sale of poppy seeds from Papaver somniferum is banned in Singapore due to the morphine content. Poppy seeds are also banned in Saudi Arabia due to various religious and drug control reasons.
What may be the most famous literary use of the poppy occurs both in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and in MGM's classic 1939 film based on the novel.
In the novel, while on their way to the Emerald City, Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion walk through a field of poppies, and the opium from the flowers puts both Dorothy and the Lion to sleep. The Scarecrow and the Tin Man, not being made of flesh and blood, are unaffected. They carry Dorothy to safety and place her on the ground beyond the poppy field. While they are considering how to help the Lion, a field mouse runs in front of them, fleeing a cougar. The Tin Man beheads the cougar with his axe, and the field mouse pledges her eternal gratitude. Being the Queen of the Field Mice, she gathers all her subjects together. The Tin Man cuts down several trees, and builds a wagon. The Lion is pushed onto it, and the mice pull the wagon safely out of the poppy field.
In the 1939 film, the sequence is considerably altered. The poppy field is conjured up by the Wicked Witch of the West, and it appears directly in front of the Emerald City, preventing the four travelers from reaching it. As in the novel, Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion fall asleep, but in a direct reversal of the book, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man are unable to carry Dorothy. Glinda, who has been watching over them, conjures up a snowfall which kills the poppies and enables Dorothy and the Lion to awaken. Unfortunately, the Tin Man has been weeping in despair, and the combination of his tears and the wet snow has caused him to rust. After he is oiled by Dorothy, the four skip happily toward the Emerald City.
In Baum's other Oz books, Oz's ruler, Princess Ozma, is often shown wearing poppies in her hair as decoration.
Poppies stand as a prominent feature of In Flanders Fields, one of the most frequently quoted English-language poems composed by front-line personnel during the First World War. It was written by John McCrae, a doctor serving in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, and appeared for the first time in Punch magazine on December 8, 1915.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
- John McCrae
In Persian literature, red poppies, especially red corn poppy flowers, are considered the flower of love. They are often called the eternal lover flower.
My photo entitled "Sacred Geometry" has a lot of creative aspects to make it a truly pleasing image to observe. The angle of the photo first of all was a close up shot using her face as the main point of focus and the lights and colors adding to it. It does not use rule of thirds but does have a main point of focus being as said her face and posture. I made the image very cool colored and also adding for a psychedelic feel, used a fractal image and dropped the opacity overlaying the main image. I describe my main editing techniques as trying to manipulate the image into a psychedelic headspace. I selected this image due to its colors and its use of many different photoshop tools.
Page from a brochure entitled The Centenary Year of Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (1858-1958). The 24-page brochure contains a history of the Keighley-based brewery and an account of brewing itself, accompanied by line drawings. It was used as a promotional item. This page includes a portrait of Philip Taylor (1894-1954), grandson of Timothy Taylor.
Timothy Taylor & Co. Ltd. (maltsters and brewers) was founded by Timothy Taylor in December 1858. It originally operated from a brewery in Cook Lane, Keighley, before moving to Knowle Spring in 1863 where larger premises could be constructed. Timothy Taylor was born in Bingley in 1826. He was originally in the tailoring trade, with a shop on Low Street, Keighley. He married Charlotte Aked and his two sons (Robert Henry and Percy) continued the brewing business after Timothy's death in January 1898. Within a year of starting, the company had two licensed houses - the Volunteer Arms in Lawkholme Lane and the New Inn at Bocking. A well was sunk at Knowle Spring in 1894 that continues to provide the water for the brewing to this day. Timothy Taylor's became a limited company in 1929. The firm's championship-winning ale Landlord was created in 1952. Further sons and nephews continued to run the business. Timothy's grandson John Taylor, later Conservative peer Lord Ingrow, was the last direct descendant to run the company. He was replaced in 1995 by Charles Dent, who married John Taylor’s daughter Annie. Tim Dewey took over as chief executive in October 2014.

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.

inspired by a poem entitled "Shattered Toes" and created for the literary night by www.myspace.com/hatsandtales.
Shattered Toes
I slip, I slide.
With precision I balance my whole self.
I focus on an exact point
Slightly to the right.
And slowly to the left
I shuffle in my stride.
That exact point
Slightly to the right
Blinds and glares.
And as I stare
It burns a hole through my self.
Then in the distance it dwindles to a slight.
The heat intoxicates my lungs
My chest
My toes
My memories
It affects my balance
I must keep my balance
Or I may fall
Fall fall
Onto that heat
Onto my chest
All those memories
I mustn’t forget.
So I gracefully point my twisted toes
And continue with my steps.
My lips are red and whole
And ripe with determination.
I must arrive
At my destination.
I walk in an exact line
Slowly
Ever so slowly.
Every movement is bursting with suspense
Till suddenly
I let go
I slip, I slide
Slowly
Ever so slowly
The sky is blue and heavenly
I tumble
And break
Crack and break
Onto that heat
My chest explodes
And all my memories
Are shattered
And forgotten.
Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.
Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]
A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.

My congratulations to our dearest Rita and Alain...
My good friend Marie (Rita's sister) asked for some help... so I translated her feelings and Najib's into my words:
To our beloved Rita
I will miss you sis
I will miss a million thing
I will miss my ultimate friend
my partner in crime,
my companion,
my comforting shoulder,
my sole sister.
I will miss you indeed…
Yet!
Lonesome is graciously filled with warmth…
warmth in my heart… warmth in my mind,
warmth of happiness upon seeing your joy,
your bliss…
your delight…
all shining through today… as always…
as always and ever since you met Alain
ever since you met Alain and embarked on this wonderful journey.
Mum… Dad… a jewel you have raised
There she is… glowing before you
Profoundly grateful for your love…
your most caring hearts…
your tender nurture
your infinite support and affection
No words are enough to utter my joy
No gaze can impart my feelings and intuitions
Though, upon this marvelous day, I will keep echoing ...
I love you
