www.stvincent.edu | On Friday, Jan. 24, more than 70 students and representatives from Saint Vincent College took part in the annual National March for Life on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Sponsored by the SVC Respect for Life Club, the Saint Vincent students were also joined by a contingent of students from Seton Hill University in taking part in the largest annual pro-life rally in the world.
Amie and Myself, in one of those old photo booths at Knoebel's. Needless to say, I didn't take this picture, the booth did. :P I just think it's fun. And I thought I looked rather gloomy in most of the self-portraits I have on here. See, not gloomy!
For intrepid out-of-state travelers who experience iffy map reading skills when under pressure, I think Swan Road should lead to a ballet instead of an AFB.

Floriade.
Floriade is a word used for a large international flower exhibition held in the Netherlands every ten years. It moves to a different Dutch city every time. It is also used by the ACT for its bulb and tulip festival each year. As a major world producer of flowers and bulbs the Netherlands also has a tulip festival annually at the Keukenhof Garden, the world’s largest garden. Keukenhof covers about 65 acres (32 hectares) and displays seven million bulbs, mainly tulips. In Australia we are lucky to have such a large tulip festival annually in Canberra saving us the expense of travel to Keukenhof! But there are other tulip festivals in Australia including ones in the Dandenongs in Victoria, at Bowral in the NSW Highlands and Wynyard in Tasmania. All regions produce tulips commercially as well as having festivals.
Tulips.
Tulips belong to the Lilly family and there 109 species of tulips and hundreds of garden hybrids or cultivars. Many tulips come from Turkey and Iran but some come from Europe, China and North America. The Netherlands is the world’s largest commercial grower of tulip bulbs and flowers. The flowers are popular with gardeners the world over. Most tulips are of a single colour but a virus carried by an aphid has led to multicoloured and variegated varieties. The cup shape of the tulip is easily recognisable. Some fancy species now have ruffled edges (called parrot tulips) and the most common variety grown in Australian gardens is the Monet Tulip which comes in a huge range of colours from red, yellow, orange, white and variegated. The Queen of the Night is a common “black” variety for gardens and it comes in the parrot form too.
Tulip Mania.
It seems hard to credit but tulips once led to a mania and bulbs used to cost literally the equivalent of thousands of dollars. This occurred during the Golden Age of Holland in the mid 1630s. Tulips were a new introduction to Holland then. Within a couple of years and by 1636 tulip bulbs had become the fourth leading export of the Netherlands. Tulips became so fashionable with the wealthy in Holland and France that prices began to skyrocket in early 1636.At their peak a tulip bulb was costing ten times the annual income of a skilled craftsman in Holland. The high prices added to the frenzy as more and more people tried to buy bulbs. An investment “bubble” occurred and as we all known bubbles burst. Tulips were bought to demonstrate wealth and to decorate the fancy rural estates of wealthy Dutch merchants. The intensity of a single colour flower was greatly appreciated. The tulip was new and novel in Europe. At its height of price one merchant offered 12 acres of land for a single tulip bulb of a variegated kind. It was these striped tulips that were most highly prized. These bulbs were named after Dutch generals and aristocrats. The prices boomed as traders signed contracts (futures trading) to buy bulbs at the end of the season after they had flowered. If prices rose in the meantime traders made big profits. Often no bulbs changed hands, just money on contracts and future contracts. At other times some bulbs were sold or traded up to ten times a day! Thus the boom took off and prices spiralled upwards. Price surges had occurred in 1621, 1630 and finally the big surge in 1635-6. Suddenly prices fell in February 1636. Some sellers reneged on contracts. Fortunes were lost by some traders and buyers. Bulbs that sold for 5,000 Dutch guilders a few weeks before were suddenly worth only 50 guilders! The situation was exacerbated by bubonic plague around Haarlem the main bulb growing district in 1636. The mania, as it was properly called, has been told in several books, novels and Dutch painters of the times often depicted tulip flowers. Recent historical research has indicated that only a limited number of traders and merchants engaged in this trade and the “bubble” had no great economic impact on the Netherlands, although it did affect some traders financially. The bursting of the bubble was mainly provoked by a new Dutch law in 1636 that would remove the obligation on traders to actually buy bulbs in the future even if they had signed contracts to do so. How amazing that a beautiful flower could set off a mania and that “value” could be so unrelated to the actual object- a short lived bulb!

LA METRO C DEVE ESSERE FERMATA A SAN GIOVANNI, SUBITO. Lo scavo ha messo in luce, confermando tutti gli studi di settore, la natura argillosa del Sito di fondazione del Colosseo e del Tempio di Venere e Roma, come della Basilica di Massenzio, che, se ulteriormente rimosso, non garantirebbe più il sostegno ai Monumenti dei Fori, creando un danno incalcobile e irreversibile. — at Fori Imperiali; di Dott.ssa Arch.

For 2 weeks in March 2015 the Fawkner Bonwick Street shopping precinct will have its own piazza, a town square where people can sit, bring some food and coffee and have some conversations with neighbors, bring the kids to read books or play games. The laneway between 53 and 55 Bonwick Street will be closed to traffic to allow this to happen.

The ghost bride stood almost peacefully among the corpses littering the living room. Then she heard the sounds coming from other places. This incensed her and she had to debate with herself about which pest problem to take care of next. The dining room was nearest and she began to float in that direction ready to take care of things there. Things were steaming up in the dining room as Temptress and Kain were left to entertain one another. They were totally absorbed in one another.

For this episode of Deadliest Warrior, we are traveling to an abandoned prison camp, previously the site of POWs, now the battleground between two of the deadliest forces in the universe will fight to the death. In the left corner, we have a commando representing the SAS, one of the toughest groups of modern soldiers in the world. He is armed with a combat shotgun and an SMG to take on any foe. On the other hand, in the right we have a trooper from the 4th Colonial of sector 6J of the outer rim. Part of the Elite Corps, he is armed with a C94 Softnose Laser and a helmet viewfinder capable of seeing in ultraviolet and infrared light, along with night vision and several other different filters. The helmet also holds the communication center and health regulation monitor which can detect if the wearer is being subject to radiation, and other things of the sort. And it also, of course, plays Tetris. ;) Who will prevail in this brutal fight? Find out next time on DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Went to see Chad Stokes and his friends the Pinto's play in Weybridge at the beginning of the month, and was happily surprised when I was allowed to go in with my camera...always a treat.
When Chad is in VT he always plays and dedicates his song Keepsake to Sam Cohn, an amazing boy from Richmond who was killed too soon by a car while on a FL vacation in 2006.
Went out for the day at my local freight/Metrolink yard to meet up once again with "Pasadena Sub Colin" to drop off a couple graff books. He's
like a ghost. He seems to just show up out of nowhere, but this time we arranged that we would be there at the same time.
Thought about not staying and getting more flicks, because I've got a huge backlog, but damn, the weather was so great, and there were actually clouds in the sky and a little breeze. The kind of days I dream about when I'm out in the desert half-way through summer and it's 109 F., dry, dusty, not a cloud in the sky, and shade is hard to find.
Clouds in the sky in California mean one of two things, it's about to rain, or it just rained. So to have some clouds was great. If you look through my flicks, No clouds. I don't like it, but I get my flicks when/where I can.
Clouds, also double edged sword. The sun couldn't decide.... Well, actually the clouds couldn't decide if they wanted to let the sun shine through, or hide it. As a photographer this makes it challenging to photograph a moving train. It's either dark, or super bright. Oh well.
Well trains are slow?! Ignore the internet for a few minutes of your day and go to the tracks. Stand about 10 ft. from the tracks, try to capture a whole car in one photo as they roll by at 20-40 Mph. They might look slow from far away, but get up close and you can feel the wind coming off of the cars as they pass by. I use a super wide lens at this location. 7.5 mm "fisheye" lens, so I can be very close, and still get a whole autorack in the shot. I'm always amazed at all of those shots from the past shot on film cameras that look great. Me here in 2022 with a digital
camera complaining like a little girl.
Sorry, As usual, it will take me a few days or a week to come back and ID/tag all of the writers in my flicks. I'm old/tired, and I have a hard time IDing some pieces. No offense to anyone, but I do the best I can. If you can or want to correct me, COMMENT!!!!
As always, Thanks to all the writers, and also my fellow benchers. Stay safe out there you guys and dolls.
Much love to the graff community. I've made a lot of friends, and some new family.

Today over 220 fine folk participated in the March For Science in Morris, Minnesota, which represents a pretty significant percentage of the local populace out here in rural Minnesota. :-)
These photos go from the gathering of the marchers, through the march, and to the milling about and chatting that eventually results after a small town event.
People should feel free to use any/all of these pictures however they wish. On the flip side, if you appear in any of these pictures and would prefer to have those pictures removed, please let me know right away and I'll take care of that.
Thanks to everyone that turned up. SCIENCE IS AWESOME (and really, really important)!

For unknown reasons, the newly constructed great blue heron nest has apparently been abandoned at the heron rookery in Metzger Farm Open Space in Westminster and Broomfield, Colorado. As noted in the previous photo, a pair of herons began building the nest about May 27, 2018. They made good progress and at least one heron was consistently at the nest. Both herons were seen at the nest in the morning on June 2, and one was at the nest at 5:30 that evening. However, the nest was empty on the morning of June 3 and has remained empty for several days.
As described in previous photos, a nest was built at this site (lower right in the tree) earlier in the year, but was abandoned after a severe windstorm. That nest disappeared over several days, probably from herons taking the sticks for another nest. Then a pair began building a new nest at this site, which has now been abandoned.
This leaves two nests with herons apparently sitting on eggs in this rookery.
