The theme for the Show & Tell session of the November 15 Meeting of the BCD (Jigsaw society) was Christmas.
Here we have two small jigsaws showing the same image 'The Wonderful Jewels' a scene from the story of Aladdin. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the illustrator. The three larger images are of a Zig Zag 200pc jigsaw, measuring c8x12in. It looks to be strip cut in interlocking style and contains a few simple whimsies but no line-cutting. The small images show a budget version I own, cut in a standard sort of grid cut. It fits flat in its box which has a large image on the front.
I have found two further versions of jigsaws cut to this image.
The early push-fit version wrapped in film was brought to the meeting by its owner. The other is a Victory Gold Box Super Cut of 200pc, measuring 13x9in. It has a wavy edge, some line-cutting and a few simple whimsies.
Aladdin is now more familiar as a Christmas pantomime and Disney movie than as a story. Aladdin, a Middle Eastern folk tale, is one of the best known tales in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights ("The Arabian Nights"), although it was actually added to the collection in the 18th century by Frenchman Antoine Galland.
In the UK the story of Aladdin was dramatised in 1788 by John O'Keefe for the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. It has been a popular subject for pantomime for over 200 years, and includes the well-known pantomime dame character Widow Twankey (Aladdin's mother). Pantomime versions often change the setting/story from China to the Middle East and introduce elements of other Arabian Nights tales (in particular Ali Baba). One version of the "pantomime Aladdin" is Sandy Wilson's musical Aladdin, from 1979.
The earliest surviving animated feature film is the 1926 film The Adventures of Prince Achmed, which combined the story of Aladdin with that of the prince. Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp is a 1939 Popeye the Sailor cartoon where Popeye plays Aladdin. Aladdin (1958 film) was a television musical by Cole Porter and Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, a 1964 album by Cliff Richard.
Since the early 1990s Aladdin pantomimes have tended to be influenced by the 1992 Disney animation; for instance the 2007/8 production at the Birmingham Hippodrome starring John Barrowman, featured a variety of songs from the Disney movies Aladdin and Mulan.

COMPASSION
Union Theological Seminary
Broadway at 121st Street
New York, NY
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice recently held its first exhibition, Compassion, from November 19, 2009 to January 14, 2010.
In today's shifting political, economic, and ecological landscape, the need for compassion has never been greater, compassion understood as mutual interdependence, knowledge of self and others, and concern for human flourishing. This kind of compassion requires seeking to know all aspects of human reality, being open to truths beyond our everyday experience and embedded in it. Artists often awaken compassion most profoundly. They form our imaginations such that we can envision our interconnectedness in ways that mere didacticism cannot achieve.
Compassion used the buildings of Union Theological Seminary to create a kind of pilgrimage. The works were situated in various locations to create a tour of this remarkable and often overlooked historic complex.
Alfredo Jaar's Embrace (1995), from his Rwanda series, greeted the visitor in the Hastings lobby. Scott Treleaven was featured in the James Chapel with black and white photos from Cimitero Monumentale (2009). Marina Abramovic's video 8 Lessons on Emptiness with a Happy End (2008) shared the Narthex with Yoko Ono's Whisper Piece (2001). Terence Koh's invisible installation was located in the Refectory, with its 40-foot ceiling and massive stone fireplace, nearby. If the visitor strayed to the other end of the building, she might have found Bas Jan Ader's iconic image I'm too sad to tell you in the Burke Library, echoed in the plaintive chant of Michael Bühler-Rose's liquid ritual I'll Worship You and You'll Worship Me (2009), which could be found in the upper reaches of the Rotunda. Chrysanne Stathacos' Rose Mandala Mirror (three reflections for HHDL), also in the Rotunda, was originally created in honor of the Dalai Lama. While circumnavigating the cloisters that link the various spaces of the seminary, further works by Gareth Long and Paul Mpagi Sepuya could be found.
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice was founded under the auspices of Union Theological Seminary to explore the relationship between contemporary art and religion through the lens of social justice.
Compassion was curated by AA Bronson, Artistic Director of the Institute.
The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Karen Armstrong's TED Prize 2009 of the same name.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
....from a walk through Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring about 10% of all Australia's bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Eastern Whipbird (pretty sure this is the female. Male and female were together and this one's call was as per the female below. It did not have a long tail as per the field guides. ...unless it's an immature?)
Scientific Name: Psophodes olivaceus
Description: Adult Eastern Whipbirds are mostly dark olive-green above, with a long tail, and a grey-white belly. The head and breast are black, with a broad white patch on the side of the face and a black crest. The eye is pale cream and the bill is black. Young whip birds are generally duller, with a smaller crest. The white cheek patch is absent in very young birds, and increases in size as the birds mature.
Similar species: Eastern Whipbirds are hard to confuse with any other Australian bird. The much rarer Western Whipbird, Psophodes nigrogularis, of southern and south-western Australia, has an olive-brown crest and a smaller white face patch. It is also smaller, measuring 22 to 24 cm.
Distribution: The range of the Eastern Whipbird is from northern Queensland to Victoria along the coastal band of eastern Australia.
Habitat: Eastern Whipbirds live in wet habitats, including rainforest, eucalypt forest and dense scrub near watercourses, in dense vegetation near the ground. The birds are secretive, but can be curious, and will be seen if the observer remains patient.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary; The birds remain in the same area all year round.
Feeding: The Eastern Whipbird feeds on insects and other small invertebrates, which are caught on the ground by bill. Feeding takes place alone, in pairs or in small family groups.
Breeding: A breeding pair of Eastern Whipbirds occupies a territory, which is defended year round, with the mates staying together for many years. The female makes a cup nest of sticks and bark, which is lined with finer grasses, and placed in dense vegetation near the ground. The female also incubates the eggs. The young birds are fed by both parents. Sometimes two broods are raised in a single season.
Calls: The Whipbirds' long whip call, one of the most characteristic sounds of the Australian bush, is performed as a duet. The male makes the drawn out whip crack and the female usually follows quickly with a sharp "choo-choo".
Minimum Size: 26cm
Maximum Size: 30cm
Average size: 28cm
Average weight: 56g
Breeding season: July to December
Clutch Size: 2 to 3 eggs
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 12 days

In the early 1990s the Campaign for a Scottish Assembly and other groups sought to use public events to keep the issue of devolution in the limelight. The first of these was ‘A Day for Scotland’ held in Stirling in the summer of 1990. This music event was organised by Stirling Council and the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC). It was attended by approximately 38,000 people and featured bands such as Runrig, Hue and Cry and Deacon Blue. The success of this event led to other music events and rallies.

Lucky for me a part of my family lives near Rajouri Garden or I would have never had a chance to visit The California Boulevard. It is quite an interesting place. I went to this restaurant with very low expectations which is why when I entered I was absolutely thrilled to see the space they have created.
This restaurant has been around for less than a year but it was bustling with people and everyone seemed rather happy. The place had a very lively vibe. The California Boulevard is a great place to pick for a fun weekend party with friends.
I love movies and The California Boulevard is all about Hollywood and celebrities. The restaurant even has a real Harley Davidson! I love desserts and because the restaurant was celebrating Cameron Diaz’s birthday the day we went there and we got to dig into it. It was absolutely divine.
Even though The California Boulevard is a party place and there were tons of people in there, the staff still ensured that we were well cared for. They ensured that our glasses were always full and we got our courses in quick succession.
Multi-cuisine restaurants always make me nervous. I always feel it is best for restaurants to just specialise in one cuisine but this restaurant pleasantly surprised me. Even though they had a lot of items on the menu, the restaurant’s chef did a great job in whipping us up a treat.
Our starters included “Nachos” (Rs. 165), “Dilli ki Chat” (Rs. 145), “Prawn Spring Rolls” (Rs. 225) and “Cheesy Chicken Chowder” (Rs. 175). The Dilli ki Chat and Cheesy Chicken Chowder were recommended by the Chef and were signature dishes of the restaurant. I quite enjoyed my starters, the soup in particular was exquisite.
Our delicious starters left us craving for more. The “Wok Fried Chicken” (Rs. 325) had been marinated with soy and garlic and tossed with basil and fresh red chillies. The flavours were absolutely wonderful and this was one of the nicest things I ate at this restaurant. I coupled this with a lovely caprioska. The one I picked was a “Cucumber and Basil Caprioska” (Rs. 275).
Next up a delicious “Honey Chilly Red Snapper” (Rs. 455). Perfection lies in simplicity, this was simple wok tossed fish with sweet chilly sauce but for me it was absolutely “spot on”. We also ordered an Indian main course dish – “Gosht Nihari” (Rs. 365). The fragrant lamb jus and saffron were to die for.
The end to my meal was rather happy because I got to try three different desserts, thanks to my friends who are just as dessert obsessed as I am. We started with Flambé Baileys Jamun (Rs. 175), Spanish Churros (Rs. 175) and TCB Kulfi Gazzak Ferrous (Rs. 195). The last dessert was really special, created with the popular Indian dessert Gazzak and the ingredient that every dessert must have – chocolate, the chefs had manage to create a finger-licking delight on the plate. All three of us closed our eyes to savour this unusual treat. I know you will too!

Following my visit to the V&A Museum at Kensington, last week, I figured it was time to check out the *other* V*A museum in London, namely the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.
I'd been here before, but a very long time ago. Once again I was massively impressed by the quality of the exhibits and their presentation.
The museum is on Cambridge Heath Road, within easy walking distance of Bethnal Green tube.
A tin metal car made in Japan by a company called Bandai. For Your Pleasure? It's the same type of car - a late 1960s Cadillac - that featured on the cover of the 2nd LP by Roxy Music.
For Corpus Christi 2016, record crowds accompanied Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
From the Solemn Mass with the St. Cecilia choir to the glorious outdoor procession with the Blessed Sacrament in the parish gardens, the feast of Corpus Christi at St. John Cantius Church in Chicago is an important experience for parishioners and visitors.
Flowers and incense prepare the way for the Blessed Sacrament, and elaborate chalk designs adorn the pathways to the various altars set up for the procession.
Many thanks to the hundred or so volunteers: artists, workers, cleaners, servers, religious, and clergy who helped give glory to our Eucharistic King. And many thanks to the numerous faithful who attended.

A brave young Iranian woman, who was brutally and senselessly murdered by a cowardly Basij sniper. Her only crime, ...daring to attend a protest of the recent controversial election in Iran.
Neda means "voice" or "calling" in Farsi, and she has been referred to as the "voice of Iran" and "a symbol of pro-democracy protesters battering the Islamic regime" in the World.
My most sincere thoughts and prayers to her family and loved ones. And I hope that her death is not in vain, and that it will help to bring about a truly representative government for the wonderful people of Iran.

A tripod mount for a pinhole camera is a necessity, but it will come in handy for lensed cameras, too.
Here is my DIY solution for the Debonair camera. I used a 1/4"-20 t-nut for a tripod mount. Unfortunately, installing it in this location means that you can not open the camera back if the camera is attached to the tripod (to change film), since the lever will probably be blocked.
It's also a very tight fit. If you try to do this and muck up your camera, please don't blame me! :)
A better and less problematic location for a tripod mount will be on the "top plate" of your Debonair, next to the hot shoe. Lots more elbow room there to install your t-nut!

for these autumn days ~~~
dear friends!! as the days grow cooler, let us find warmth in the fires of candle, hearth and heart... in the steam that rises from the cups we hold in our hands... and in the words of dear poets. the teahouse is just ahead, within the shelter of the beloved trees. as we walk along the path to the door, the fallen leaves will loudly welcome our soft footsteps. inside, near the hearth, the kettle is on... and our cups are waiting.
~
In Praise of Fire
Let us praise the grace and risk of Fire.
In the beginning,
The Word was red,
And the sound was thunder,
And the wound in the unseen
Spilled forth the red weather of being.
In the name of Fire,
The Flame
And the Light:
Praise the pure presence of fire
That burns from within
Without thought of time.
The hunger of Fire has no need
For the reliquary of the future'
It adores the eros of now,
Where the memory of the earth
In flames that lick and drink the air
Is made to release
Its long-enduring forms
In a powder of ashes
Left for the wind to decipher.
As air intensifies the hunger of fire,
May the thought of death
Breathe new urgency
Into our love of life.
As fire cleanses dross,
May the flame of passion
Burn away what is false.
As short as the time
From spark to flame,
So brief may the distance be
Between heart and being.
May we discover
Beneath our fear
Embers of anger
To kindle justice.
May courage
Cause our lives to flame,
In the name of the Fire,
And the Flame
And the Light.

may all travelers find joy!!

For We're Here - Something on something
Have had some neck issues for the past few months after a couple nights of sleeping in the wrong position. Without going into detail, the neurosurgeon said they don't want to wait more than 4 months and risk permanent nerve damage which is affecting my left arm and hand. I am to have a follow up appointment early July. I was hoping to be back to normal, without any need for surgery. Right now I can only sleep flat on my back, with special pillows, taking ibuprofen, icing and doing traction every day. And even then, I still experience pain on a daily basis. It's not unbearable anymore but I think common sense tells me to let go of my ticket. :(
So, what to do, what to do....
I also have photography on my mind a LOT, especially since July 19th is coming super soon and I need lots of practice before then!!!!!

Atlantikwall Regelbau L487 Bertha - Commando Bunker for Luftwaffe Night-fighter From World War 2 1945.
Bunker L487 is a ww2 German bunker for radio measurement device evaluation for night fighter control "Bertha" in English.
The Bunker L487 communications is 22.10 meters long, 22.90 meters wide and 8.60 meters high and has two floors.
The night fighter (also known as all-weather fighter or all-weather interceptor for a period of time after World War II) is a fighter aircraft adapted for use at night or in other times of bad visibility. Night fighters began to be used in World War I and included types that were specifically modified to operate at night.
During World War II, night fighters were either purpose-built night fighter designs, or more commonly, heavy fighters or light bombers adapted for the mission, often employing radar or other systems for providing some sort of detection capability in low visibility. Many WW II night fighters also included instrument landing systems for landing at night, as turning on the runway lights made runways into an easy target for opposing intruders. Some experiments tested the use of day fighters on night missions, but these tended to work only under very favorable circumstances and were not widely successful.
Avionics systems were greatly miniaturized over time, allowing the addition of radar altimeter, terrain-following radar, improved instrument landing system, microwave landing system, Doppler weather radar, LORAN receivers, GEE, TACAN, inertial navigation system, GPS, and GNSS in aircraft. The addition of greatly improved landing and navigation equipment combined with radar led to the use of the term all-weather fighter or all-weather fighter attack, depending on the aircraft capabilities. The use of the term night fighter gradually faded away as a result of these improvements making the vast majority of fighters capable of night operation.

The Hawaiian name for the plover is kolea, which means "boastful." The name plover comes from a French word meaning "the rain bird." The Pacific golden plover is an amusing bird to watch as it searches for food on fields, lawns and mud flats. When feeding, the plover darts a few steps forward on its long legs. It stops and pokes its beak into the ground to find an insect or small snail to eat. Then it runs a few feet in another direction, stops, eats a bite and off it goes again. These busy birds are helpful in controlling insect pests. The Pacific golden plover spend the fall and winter months in Hawaii, where they can be seen on all the islands. They also winter in New Zealand, Australia, southern Asia and on other Pacific islands. In its winter home in Hawaii and the Pacific area the Pacific golden plover wears dark, grey-brown feathers with gold spots on its back. It has a light brown color on its belly. It is about 11 inches tall. With its long legs and graceful posture, it seems very proud of its beauty. In April of each year the birds molt - they shed some of their feathers and grow new ones of different colors. The new belly and breast feathers are black. A white line goes around the top of the forehead and down the sides of the neck and breast. This is the golden plover's breeding plumage. It is ready to migrate and to mate.
