For my birthday I got myself something I've been wanting for some time: a huge pose-able EVA 01.

I had been sad about missing the RAH releases back then, until I found out that their rubber bits started to disintegrate. On a whim I looked around if by now there was another big EVA 1 released, and lo and behold the Dynaction one had been exactly what I had wished for.

He's extremely cool, very posable and I'm super smitten with the quality!:)

The tangible phenomena we scrutinize with our reason, the sacred and indemonstrable we overhear with the sense of the ineffable. The force that inspires readiness for self-sacrifice, the thoughts that breed humility within and beyond the mind, are not identical with the logician’s craftsmanship. The purity of which we never cease to dream, the untold things we insatiably love, the vision of the good for which we either die or perish alive—no reason can bound. It is the ineffable from which we draw the taste of the sacred, the joy of the imperishable.

-Abraham Joshua Heschel, MNA, pg. 9

since i'm here i might as well wish you good night :-)

Destined To Be Holy

"…it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16

We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good, and may later be fulfilled, but in the meantime God must cause their importance to us to decrease. The only thing that truly matters is whether a person will accept the God who will make him holy. At all costs, a person must have the right relationship with God. Do I believe I need to be holy? Do I believe that God can come into me and make me holy? If through your preaching you convince me that I am unholy, I then resent your preaching. The preaching of the gospel awakens an intense resentment because it is designed to reveal my unholiness, but it also awakens an intense yearning and desire within me. God has only one intended destiny for mankind— holiness. His only goal is to produce saints. God is not some eternal blessing-machine for people to use, and He did not come to save us out of pity— He came to save us because He created us to be holy. Atonement through the Cross of Christ means that God can put me back into perfect oneness with Himself through the death of Jesus Christ, without a trace of anything coming between us any longer. Never tolerate, because of sympathy for yourself or for others, any practice that is not in keeping with a holy God. Holiness means absolute purity of your walk before God, the words coming from your mouth, and every thought in your mind— placing every detail of your life under the scrutiny of God Himself. Holiness is not simply what God gives me, but what God has given me that is being exhibited in my life.

HIstory of Hutchins Street Square:

The cornerstone for the new Lodi Union High School was laid on February 13, 1913 on land purchased from Thomas Hutchins just west of the city limits. As the grand buildings rose, people celebrated the promising future Lodi had with the state-of-the-art educational facility. The campus was opened for classes in the autumn of 1913.

Over the years, more buildings were added. In 1923, Principal William Inch oversaw the construction of the science building, shop, auditorium, and a second story swimming pool in the gymnasium which was called "Inch's Folly." As the decades went by, larger and larger classes of students were using the facility. By the mid 1950s, the campus was too small, and another campus was built on Pacific Avenue. The old campus continued to be used for high school classes. The buildings did not meet state earthquake standards, and in 1974 an arson fire damaged the administration building and set the facility's fate.

After the new Tokay High School opened for classes on September 6, 1977, the old, fire-scarred site just four blocks from downtown was abandoned. Meanwhile, the City Council, which had acquired a five-year option to buy the 10-acre site in June 1975, mulled over the suggestion to build a community center on the prime land. Various civic groups supported the idea, and a council-appointed committee agreed that Lodi needed a community center. A private group of volunteers organized themselves as the Old Lodi Union High School Site Foundation and sought donations. The Foundation lobbied the council to buy the site and promised to repay the city.

On March 6, 1980, the council voted to buy the school grounds from the Lodi Unified School District for $475,000 and set the wheels in motion for the community center that eventually became Hutchins Street Square. A public-private partnership between the City and the Foundation was born. The Foundation was given the responsibility of financing and planning the reconstruction projects, and the City agreed to maintain and operate the center.

The Foundation devised a master plan and began fundraising efforts. Field and Fair Day, an annual Labor Day event, began in 1980 as an all-day affair put on by volunteers to raise money. Work began right away to demolish some of the old buildings which could not be saved. Renovation began on the field and plans were drawn for remodeling the remaining original buildings - the girls and boys gymnasiums, cafeteria, and auditorium. Slowly, over the years, the community center which became known as Hutchins Street Square began to take shape.

In addition to Field and Fair Day, there were many other imaginative fundraising events which have been held to raise money for the renovation of Hutchins Street Square. The first fundraiser, held in 1979, was a play production of “Razamataz or Can a Little Girl from Lodi Make it in Tinsel Town?” performed by Lodi High School graduate Dale Lindholm's theater group from Walnut Creek. Other innovative fund-raisers over the years included a bachelor auction, numerous festive dinner/dances with auctions, the sale of a home built by Bennett & Compton, Inc., the sale of “Ruby”, the City's antique fire truck, the sale of personalized bricks to line a plaza at the Square, and the sale of theater seats inside the new performing arts theater.

The various and imaginative fundraisers held over the next 4 years were effective. In 1984, the Foundation paid off its $475,000 debt to the City of Lodi. Fundraising efforts then concentrated on paying for the facility renovation. Each Field and Fair Day and annual Christmas Dinner/Dance saw new improvements made to the Square including the Fine Arts Facility, rebuilt from the shell of the music building and Kirst Hall, which was the old boys' gymnasium.

Over the years, donations from individuals and corporations have enabled many improvements at the Square. The most notable contribution was $2.4 million dollars from the late William G. Holz, a Lodi industrialist. His gift was used in 1987 to reconstruct the girls' gymnasium into the Senior Complex, which today houses the Adult Day Care for the elderly, and the renovated indoor therapeutic swimming pool on the building's second floor.

By 1996, about $6.5 million had been raised through events and donations and was spent on the square reconstruction. The Square was nearly complete, but one project, the most ambitious undertaking, remained. The project to renovate the 73-year-old auditorium and the cafeteria into a state-of-the-art Performing Arts and Conference Center was slated to cost $10 million.

In order to fund this last project and complete the Square, the Foundation and the Lodi City Council returned to their loan arrangement of nearly 20 years ago. The Council unanimously voted to finance the construction by issuing bonds, and the Foundation will continue fundraising to pay off the debt in the future. F and H Construction began work on the Performing Arts and Conference Center in November 1996. After tearing down the inside of the brick auditorium, it was reconstructed with a 789-seat theatre complete with an orchestral pit, a majestic 65-foot rotunda and multi-purpose meeting rooms with connecting lobbies. The project was finished in April 1998, and the plans were rolled up for the final time. Hutchins Street Square was complete.

From its grandeur in the early days of Lodi as an educational center of town, to neglect and decay, then finally, within a span of 20 years, these former school buildings and its 10-acre site have been reincarnated into the City's crown jewel — the cultural, recreational and business center of town.

The Red Fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh Muslim city in the Delhi site. He moved his capital from Agra in a move designed to bring prestige to his reign, and to provide ample opportunity to apply his ambitious building schemes and interests. The Red Fort stands at the eastern edge of Shahjahanabad, and gets its name from the massive wall of red sandstone that defines its four sides. The wall is 1.5 miles (2.5 km) long, and varies in height from 60ft (16m) on the river side to 110 ft (33 m) towards the city. Measurements have shown that the plan was generated using a square grid of 82 m. The fort lies along the Yamuna River, which fed the moats that surround most of the wall. The wall at its north-eastern corner is adjacent to an older fort, the Salimgarh, a defense built by Islam Shah Sur in 1546. Construction on the Red Fort began in 1638 and was complete by 1648. On 11 March 1783 Sikhs entered Red fort in Delhi and occupied the Diwan-i-Am. The city was essentially surrendered by the Mughal wazir in cahoots with his Sikh Allies. This task was carried out under the command of the Sardar Baghel Singh Dhaliwal of the Karor Singhia misl. (Sardar Baghel Singh Dhaliwal on the third of his 3 campaigns to conquer Delhi.) The Red Fort was conceived as a whole, and subsequent modifications have not taken away from the overall unity of the scheme. In the 18th century, however, occupiers and looters damaged some sections of the palace. After the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, when the Fort was used as a headquarters, the British army occupied and destroyed many of its pavilions and gardens. A program for restoring the surviving parts of the fort began in 1903. [Wikipedia.org]

For the full story regarding this collection of images Please read the NEW album introduction HERE; www.flickr.com/photos/jbschofield/sets/72157632196706891/... It tells a much fuller story than that provided below.

This is a scanned print from a collection of photographs taken by the late Jim Taylor A number of years ago I was offered a large number of photographs taken by Jim Taylor, a transport photographer based in Huddersfield. The collection consisted of 30,000 prints,20,000 negatives – and copyright! Although some prints were sold elsewhere, particularly the popular big fleet stuff, I should have the negatives, unfortunately they came to me in a random mix, without any sort of indexing and as such it would be impossible to match negatives to prints, or, to even find a print of any particular vehicle. I have only ever looked at a handful myself unless I am scanning them.

I hope to avoid posting images that Jim had not taken his self, however should I inadvertently infringe another photographers copyright, please inform me by email and I will resolve the issue immediately. There are copyright issues with some of the photographs that were sold to me. A Flickr member from Scotland drew my attention to some of his own work amongst the first uploads of Jims work. I had a quick look through some of the 30 boxes of prints and decided that for the time being the safest thing for me to do was withdraw the majority of the earlier uploaded scans and deal with the problem – which I did. whilst the vast majority of the prints are Jims, there is a problem defining copyright of some of them, this is something that the seller did not make clear at the time. I am reasonably confident that I have since been successful in identifying Jims own work.

You may notice photographs being duplicated in this Album, unfortunately there are multiple copies of many prints (for swapping) and as I have to have a system of archiving and backing up I can only guess - using memory - if I have scanned a print before. It is easier to scan and process a print than check my files - on three different PC's - for duplicates. There has not been, nor will there ever be, any intention to knowingly breach anyone else's copyright. I have presented the Jim Taylor collection as exactly that-The Jim Taylor Collection- his work not mine, my own work is quite obviously mine. To anyone reading the above it will be quite obvious that I can’t provide information regarding specific photos or potential future uploads in this Album – I didn't take them!

None of my photographs are free to use - only free to view!

Please read the album intro’ before contacting me with requests, it may answer your query.

Thank you for taking the time to look and best regards

"Dear Astral, you've blessed me with an abundance of mothers. For this I give you thanks.

Bless my own mother, Astriid, who is ever devoted to your service. She gave me life; and to preserve my life, sent me away. I miss her as I'm sure she misses me. Bless Ayah, who cared for me from birth along with my sisters. From her I learned all people are worthy of your love. Bless my dear maid Sami, brimming with compassion, who nursed me through illness though she was little more than a child herself. And my governess Dorinna, who insisted on continuing my education when they thought I wouldn't live to adulthood.

Each of these women was a mother to me, and on Mother's Day I honor all of them. May they bask in your holy light forever."

"I'm grateful I've always had someone to watch over me and consider my best interests. Astral, Great Mother, watch over all motherless children, especially the widower Brightman's two youngest, Griffin and Malene. Shine your light on them; let them take comfort and grow in your presence. And to all women who care for a child: bring patience and wisdom, fortitude and joy."

I really had to go downtown.

Go downtown and hang around.

Was not prepared for what I found.

A baby bird was lyin' on the ground.

Lying there in front of my feet.

Dying there right next to the street.

I picked it up and felt it's heat.

I tried to wake her up but she wanted to sleep.

I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying

But I can't get away from the thought.

It's dying, it's dying, it's dying,

And it's something that I couldn't stop.

You're lying, you're lying, if you say

It's gonna make it 'cos I know that it's not.

Hanging on a telephone line.

Witnessing a million crimes.

I've been alone all this time.

I'd call someone but I don't have a dime.

I don't care for boys or girls.

I'd rather hang around with the birds.

Humans only wreck the world.

They'd kill your whole family for a string of pearls.

I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying

But I can't get away from the thought.

We're dying, we're dying, we're dying.

Our insides are starting to rot.

You're lying, you're lying, if you say

We're okay, 'cos maybe we're not.

If I had wings I'd try to fly.

But they don't make it harder to die.

You can take it up to the sky.

But no one ever stays that high.

High... high

I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying

But I can't get away from the thought.

I'm dying, I'm dying.

I already gave away all that I've got.

I'm lying, I'm lying, if I say

That I'm cool 'cos really I'm not.

For the Birds by Juliana Hatfield

This bust of George Washington, elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1900, executed by an unknown sculptor, is a copy of a piece by Jean-Antoine Houdon. George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States from 1789–1797 after serving as Commander-in-Chief and leading the Continental Army to victory over the Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War. As president, he established many of the customs and usages of the new government's executive department. His unilateral Proclamation of Neutrality of 1793 provided a basis for avoiding any involvement in foreign conflicts. He supported plans to build a strong central government by funding the national debt, implementing an effective tax system, and creating a national bank.

The Hall of Fame for Great Americans--the original "Hall of Fame", was conceived of by Dr. Henry Mitchell MacCracken, Chancellor of New York University from 1891 to 1910. It was designed as part of the school's undergraduate campus in University Heights in the Bronx, which is today the campus of Bronx Community College of The City University of New York. The Hall of Fame stands on the heights occupied by the British army in its successful attack upon Fort Washington in the autumn of 1776. MacCracken, once said "Lost to the invaders of 1776, this summit is now retaken by the goodly troop of 'Great Americans', General Washington their leader. They enter into possession of these Heights and are destined to hold them, we trust, forever."

The memorial structure is a sweeping open-air colonnade, 630 feet in length, designed in neoclassical style by the Stanford White. Financed by a gift from Mrs. Finley J. Shepard (Helen Gould), the Hall of Fame was formally dedicated on May 30, 1901. The Colonnade was designed with niches to accommodate 102 sculptured works and currently houses the busts and commemorative plaques of 98 of the 102 honorees elected since 1900. Each bronze bust, executed by a distinguished American sculptor, must be made specifically for The Hall of Fame and must not be duplicated within 50 years of its execution. To be eligible for nomination, a person must have been a native born or naturalized citizen of the United States, must have been dead for 25 years and must have made a major contribution to the economic, political, or cultural life of the nation. Of the 17 categories in The Hall of Fame, Authors is the largest, with Statesmen following closely.

The complex of three buildings adjoining the Colonnade--Gould Memorial Library, the Hall of Languages, and Cornelius Baker Hall of Philosophy--were also designed by Stanford White and bear a close conceptual relationship to the Colonnade, with the library as the central focus.

lovely..!

How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life... you start with the little things. The shelves, the drawers, the knickknacks, then you start adding larger stuff. Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, your TV... the backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, your car, your home... I want you to stuff it all into that backpack. Now I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office... and then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers, your sisters, your children, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend. You get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks.

Let me introduce you my new outfit made with ingenuousness for Sophia. She desired an "Sailor" dress set.

Regarding the colors, I did a study around the tones of an old doll whose the atmosphere is a very soft sailor witch I love a lot.

So a base of ivory and blue-gray with a touch of tonic red.

This set consists of a dress, an overskirt, removable collar and stockings.

- The high waist overskirt typically nautical have two folds that open onto a striped fabric and bordered by dark green lines. A light silk ribbon bow, small brass buttons and a brass star adorn this skirt.

- The dress is cut in a lined fabric and trimmed with lace and ribbon at the bottom.

- For the stockings and the dress's breastplate, I painted myself red stripes on an ivory fabric to give an old craft touch.

- The removable sailor collar finished by a small red bow, edged with fine aqua silk ribbon

I also want to introduce you one of my new dolls customized by me during the past months.

Her name is "My Bloomy" because she's very inspired by Bloomy Bloomsbury, one of my favorite Blythe.

Work done:

· Carving of her nose, lips and philtrum

· New full makeup made with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier and sealed with several layers of MSC
