For a shorter week, it feels like it's been fairly /long/.
Ronan's alternate head got pulled out for play and having not seen it for awhile I am once again in awe of Hearts_Murmur's work on it. I love how it's a different expression for Ronan but it's still HIM. I also pulled out his original wig. I wish, wish, /wish/ I could find this wig in this same style and color but newer. Alas, it's an old JPOPdolls wig so I won't hold my breath.
We're back in white. This is starting to be a theme with him.

A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will launch from an atoll in the Pacific this spring. The mission will help scientists better understand and predict the electrical storms in Earth's upper atmosphere that can negatively affect satellite communication and global positioning signals.
The mission, called EVEX, for the Equatorial Vortex Experiment, will launch into a crucial layer of charged particles surrounding our planet. Called the ionosphere, this layer serves as the medium through which high frequency radio waves – such as those sent down to the ground by global positioning system (GPS) satellites or, indeed, any satellite communicating with Earth – travel. The ionosphere begins about 60 miles above the ground and is filled with electrons and ions, alongside the more familiar extension of our electrically neutral atmosphere. Governed by Earth’s magnetic field, high-altitude winds, and incoming material and energy from the sun, the ionosphere can be calm in certain places or times of day, and quite turbulent at others.
EVEX will launch two rockets for a twelve-minute journey through the equatorial ionosphere above the South Pacific. This area of the ionosphere is known for calm days and tempestuous evenings, times when the ionosphere becomes rippled like a funhouse mirror, disturbing radio signals, and introducing GPS errors of a half mile or more. The two rockets will measure events in two separate regions of the ionosphere to see how they work together to drive the ionosphere from placid and smooth to violently disturbed. Such information could ultimately lead to the ability to accurately forecast this important aspect of space weather.
The launch window for EVEX is from April 27 to May 10. The team will decide when to fly based on conditions in the ionosphere on any given night.

No me llames extranjero
(Rafael Amor){Argentina}
No me llames extranjero porque haya nacido lejos,
o porque tenga otro nombre la tierra de donde vengo.
No me llames extranjero porque fue distinto el seno
o porque acunó mi infancia otro idioma de los cuentos.
No me llames extranjero si en el amor de una madre
tuvimos la misma luz en el canto y en el beso
con que nos sueñan iguales las madres contra su pecho.
No me llames extranjero, ni pienses de dónde vengo,
mejor saber dónde vamos, adónde nos lleva el tiempo.
No me llames extranjero porque tu pan y tu fuego
calmen mi hambre y mi frío, y me cobije tu techo.
No me llames extranjero, tu trigo es como mi trigo,
tu mano como la mía, tu fuego como mi fuego,
y el hambre no avisa nunca, vive cambiando de dueño.
Y me llamas extranjero porque me trajo un camino,
porque nací en otro pueblo, porque conozco otros mares,
y un día zarpé de otro puerto,
si siempre quedan iguales en el adiós los pañuelos
y las pupilas borrosas de los que dejamos lejos,
y los amigos que nos nombran y son iguales los rezos
y el amor de la que sueña con el día del regreso.
No, no me llames extranjero, traemos el mismo grito,
el mismo cansancio viejo que viene arrastrando el hombre
desde el fondo de los tiempos, cuando no existían fronteras,
antes que vinieran ellos, los que dividen y matan,
los que roban, los que mienten, los que venden nuestros sueños,
ellos son, ellos son los que inventaron esta palabra: extranjero.
No me llames extranjero, que es una palabra triste,
que es una palabra helada, huele a olvido y a destierro.
No me llames extranjero, mira tu niño y el mío
cómo corren de la mano hasta el final del sendero,
no los llames extranjeros, ellos no saben de idiomas,
de límites, ni banderas, míralos, se van al cielo
por una risa paloma que los reúne en el vuelo.
No me llames extranjero, piensa en tu hermano y el mío,
el cuerpo lleno de balas besando de muerte el suelo,
ellos no eran extranjeros, se conocían de siempre
por la libertad eterna e igual de libres murieron.
No me llames extranjero, mírame bien a los ojos,
mucho más allá del odio, del egoísmo y el miedo,
y verás que soy un hombre, no puedo ser extranjero.
DO NOT CALL ME A FOREIGNER
Do not call me a foreigner ,
because I have been born far,
or because of the Land from where I come
has another name
Do not call me a foreigner ,
because the lap was different
or because it was different the story language
that rocked my childhood
Do not call me a foreigner ,
if in the love of a mother,
we had the same light
in the song and the kiss,
whereupon they dream to us equal
the mothers against their chests.
Do not call me a foreigner ,
nor you think from where I come,
better to know where we go,
to where the time wants to lead us.
Do not call me a foreigner
because your bread and your fire,
calm my hunger and my cold,
and your sky cover me.
Do not call me a foreigner,
your wheat is like my wheat,
your hand is like mine,
your fire is like my fire
and the hunger never warns,
it lives changing of owner.
Do not call me a foreigner
because it brought me a path,
because I was born in another town,
because I know other seas
and one day I weighed anchor of another port,
if always are equal :
in a good bye the handkerchiefs
and the blurred pupils
of those we left far.
The friends who remember us
and the prayers are equal
and the love of who dreams
with the returning day.
Do not call me a foreigner,
we bring the same shout,
the same old fatigue
that it comes dragging the man
from the bottom of the times,
when it did not exists borders,
before they came,
those that divide and kill,
those that rob, those that lie
those that sell our dreams,
they are those that invented
this word, foreigner.
Do not call me a foreigner
that is a sad word,
that is a frozen word
it smells of forgetfulness and exile.
Do not call me a foreigner,
Look your child and mine
as they run by their hand
until the end of the footpath.
Do not call them foreigners,
they do not know about languages
nor limits nor flags,
look they go away up to the sky
with a dove laugh
that it reunites them in the flight.
Do not call me a foreigner
think about your brother and mine,
their bodies full of bullets
kissing of death to the ground.
They, they were not foreigners,
they were always known to each other
by the eternal freedom
and they both died equaly free.
Do not call me a foreigner
look at me to the eyes,
behind of the hatred,
of the selfishness and the fear,
and you will see that I am a man,
I cannot be foreigner.
Do not call me a foreigner.

Sólo le pido a dios
(León Gieco)
Sólo le pido a dios
Que el dolor no me sea indiferente
Que la reseca muerte no me encuentre
Vacía y sola sin haber hecho lo suficiente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que lo injusto no me sea indiferente
Que no me abofeteen la otra mejilla
Después de que una garra me arañó la suerte
Sólo le pido a dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que el engaño no me sea indiferente
Si un traidor puede más que unos cuantos
Esos cuantos no lo olviden fácilmente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que el futuro no me sea indiferente
Desahuciado esta el que tiene que marchar
A vivir una cultura diferente
Sólo le pido a dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the pain,
That the dry death won’t find me
Empty and alone, without having done the sufficient.
I only ask of God
That i won’t be indifferent to the injustice
That they won’t slap my other cheek,
After a claw (or talon) has scratched this destiny (luck) of mine.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the battle,
It’s a big monster and it walks hardly on
All the poor innocence of people.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to deceit,
If a traitor can do more than a bunch of people,
Then let not those people forget him easily.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the future,
Hopeless is he who has to go away
To live a different culture.
I only ask of God
That i am not indifferent to the battle,
It’s a big monster and it walks hardly on
All the poor innocence of people.

The Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013 is designed by multi award-winning Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto.
He is the thirteenth and, at 41, youngest architect to accept the invitation to design a temporary structure for the Serpentine Gallery. The most ambitious architectural programme of its kind worldwide, the Serpentine's annual Pavilion commission is one of the most anticipated events on the cultural calendar. Past Pavilions have included designs by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei (2012), Frank Gehry (2008), the late Oscar Niemeyer (2003) and Zaha Hadid, who designed the inaugural structure in 2000.
Widely acknowledged as one of the most important architects coming to prominence worldwide, Sou Fujimoto is the leading light of an exciting generation of artists who are re-inventing our relationship with the built environment. Inspired by organic structures, such as the forest, the nest and the cave, Fujimoto's signature buildings inhabit a space between nature and artificiality. Fujimoto has completed the majority of his buildings in Japan, with commissions ranging from the domestic, such as Final Wooden House, T House and House N, to the institutional, such as the Musashino Art Museum and Library at Musashino Art University.
Occupying some 350 square-metres of lawn in front of the Serpentine Gallery, Sou Fujimoto's delicate, latticed structure of 20mm steel poles will have a lightweight and semi-transparent appearance that will allow it to blend, cloud-like, into the landscape and against the classical backdrop of the Gallery's colonnaded East wing. Designed as a flexible, multi-purpose social space - with a café sited inside - visitors will be encouraged to enter and interact with the Pavilion in different ways throughout its four-month tenure in London's Kensington Gardens.
Julia Peyton-Jones, Director, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Serpentine Gallery, said:
"We are thrilled to be working with one of the most fascinating architects in the world today. A visionary, who has conceived an extraordinary response to our invitation to design the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, Sou Fujimoto has designed a structure that will enthral everyone that encounters it throughout the summer."
Describing his design concept, Sou Fujimoto said:
"For the 2013 Pavilion I propose an architectural landscape: a transparent terrain that encourages people to interact with and explore the site in diverse ways. Within the pastoral context of Kensington Gardens, I envisage the vivid greenery of the surrounding plant life woven together with a constructed geometry. A new form of environment will be created, where the natural and the man-made merge; not solely architectural nor solely natural, but a unique meeting of the two.
The Pavilion will be a delicate, three-dimensional structure, each unit of which will be composed of fine steel bars. It will form a semi-transparent, irregular ring, simultaneously protecting visitors from the elements while allowing them to remain part of the landscape. The overall footprint will be 350 square-metres and the Pavilion will have two entrances. A series of stepped terraces will provide seating areas that will allow the Pavilion to be used as a flexible, multi-purpose social space.
The delicate quality of the structure, enhanced by its semi-transparency, will create a geometric, cloud-like form, as if it were mist rising from the undulations of the park. From certain vantage points, the Pavilion will appear to merge with the classical structure of the Serpentine Gallery, with visitors suspended in space."
Fujimoto is the third Japanese architect to accept the invitation to design the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, following Toyo Ito in 2002 and Kazuyo Sejima & Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA in 2009

The Edinburgh Festival must make it very challenging for buses to run to time in the city owing to the extra weight of general traffic, diversions due to street parties and shows in the open air, and then on such a day as the 11th of August when more rain fell in 24 hours since records began it's
all a bit tricky for our dutiful drivers.
This was no day to be out never mind take a camera with you! I have long said I won't take pictures unless there's a blue sky, but with the sight of new Gemini's passing my window on their first day in service I decided to venture out. For most of the day pairs of red 23's and 27's stuck together and at one moment I saw 6 madder red and white Gemini's on Inverleith Row - four in convoy on one side and two on the other.
Brand new Gemini B9's numbers 371 and 372 appeared to want to work together all day and ran about hugging each other from one end of the diagram to the other. Even at the Trinity terminus here they stopped for just 2 minutes and left together. A damp start for our two new boys on the block.
I have always found it very difficult to capture a good photograph at the Trinity terminus at Lennox Row. It's dark and gloomy, narrow with a high row of trees on the south side blocking out the sunlight through the day. In the latter part of the day (that's evenings in summer time) the sun is directly shining onto the front of the bus here creating a glare effect so that doesn't work either. And with a narrow road and a deep camber (as can be seen) it's a terminus I find hard to achieve a really good shot at and any tips will be welcome!
Today was the first day I noticed a majority of 23's and 27's on new madder buses and it won't be long until both services are looking terrific. Mind you, I gasped when seeing not one but two of those awful Trident thingys on the 23 only a few minutes apart from each other. There's always got to be something to spoil the fun but thankfully they were off in the afternoon!
Okay, so there are catkins to be seen but look again … leaf buds!
I Had A Little Nut Tree and nothing did it bear, but a silver nutmeg and a golden pear! I should be so lucky! 😁
Never been sure what nuts these bushes supply - by the time the nuts look about ripe, they disappear - I blame the squirrels!
