Famine Memorial statue, in Custom House Quay in the Dublin Docklands. These statues commemorate the Great Famine of the mid 19th century. The statues were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie - 1997. New processing. Strangely I didn't manage to replace the first version.

關廠工人絕食行動進入第八天，目前仍有6人仍在勞委會前絕食，其中3名從4/28就開始絕食，已經絕食滿173小時。勞委會方面至今仍無代表與絕食者協商，僅派出就業工作站人員直接到工人家裡說明日前出爐的「七八九折扣方案」。
另，勞委會主委潘世偉今天接受廣播媒體採訪時表示，勞委會前已無人絕食，並有30名關廠工人同意接受勞委會所提出的「打折」方案，當中包括2名自救會理事長。據了解，這兩名接受勞委會方案的自救會成員，分別隸屬於聯福、耀元自救會。
此外，潘世偉在廣播中亦表示，勞委會的立場是不要以訴訟，而是以和解方式讓爭議圓滿落幕，他希望抗爭勞工仔細考慮勞委會方案。
全關連今下午發表新聞稿痛批，潘世偉「顯然在漫長的8天裡，正眼都沒瞧過關廠工人一眼，根本不把人命放在心上，才會表示絕食已經停止」。
全關連指出，勞委會對外宣稱「不要訴訟要和解」，但事實證明，日前勞委會在停告期未滿前就恢復訴訟，根本沒有誠意與工人和解。
明天上午潘世偉將到立法院衛環委員會備詢，全關連絕食者也將到立法院召開記者會，持續要求潘世偉出面協商，並承諾推動修改勞基法第28條，擴大薪資墊償適用範圍。
今日退出絕食行列者包括絕食滿168小時的東菱電子女工簡素卿、北市產總總幹事袁孔琪，以及南藝大音樂會副教授阮馨儀。簡素卿因嚴重脫水導致體重下降7公斤，經醫療小組要求停止絕食。袁孔琪因家庭因素退出，阮馨儀則因病退出。
目前仍在勞委會前的絕食者包括（左起）國際勞工協會研究員吳永毅、非典勞動工作坊林子文、東菱電子女工陳滿屏、前桃產總理事長毛振飛。另外，昨天才加入絕食，不在圖中者為聯福女工簡玉娥、文大法律系學生李昀岳。（註：圖左四為簡素卿，拍攝時她仍在絕食所以仍將照片放上。）

Something spotted on the streets of London!
It's my daughter's Birthday this weekend, so it's off to Bristol for a bit of retail therapy and noodles for lunch!
One of the busiest weeks in a long time, so Alison Moyet in concert on Saturday, Paloma Faith in concert on Tuesday complete with a 42 piece orchestra/jazz band and finally saw the Vienna Festival Ballet perform Swan Lake on Thursday. Great fun, exhausting, but worth it! Will catch up with everyone as soon as I can....

This poignant shot was captured (some time back) in the slums of the so called IT-Capital, Silicon valley of Asia, Garden City, and what not....Bangalore. With all those unwanted IT development, the human beings are still in the state of disdain. Two meals a day is something which people are striving hard to get.
I was walking home after a tiring swim in Sport Authority of India. I passed through a slum and my eyes fell on these kids who were having their meals outside their hut. These kids were so delighted to have this bowl of rice that it brought smile on their face. Hunger is the worst enemy to mankind.

Grinzing
Grinzinger village church, sky road (Himmelstraße)
To 1891 independent vintner community, since then part of the 19th district of Vienna, since 1114 a large village. Named after the personal name Grinco, by the Turks and the Frenche several times destroyed, in the 19th century vintner location, excursion site and a summer resort, today well-known Heurigenort (numerous wine taverns). Townscape with village character (under monument protection) in a valley between vine-clad foothills of the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods).
Due to Emperor Probus, already in 276 AD the first vines were planted on the hills around Grinzing. This botanical avocation of Roman legionaries brought the little village at the gates of Vienna prosperity and much, much later even international fame - because in this graceful landscape grows an excellent wine! To get away occasionally with all military conflicts of the last 700 years, the Grinziger winemakers laid underground escape routes to their wine cellars, them bringing even to their beloved Grinzinger church.
Alley behind the "Old Preßhaus (winepress house)"
The former "Old Preßhaus", Grinzing's oldest wine tavern, too, had a passage under the earth. Since 1527 in the mighty, impressive cellar the "young wine" was ausgeschenkt (poured out or served). In front of a magnificent 250 year old wine press and large, old barrels one here could experience Heurigengemütlichkeit (wine tavern comfortableness). This typical Viennese form of companionableness, since the times of Maria Theresa officially as "Winery" designated, is for the Viennese a small, timeless piece of luck.
Grinzing
Cobenzlgasse
Grinzing was a separate municipality until 1892 and is now a part of Vienna in the 19th District of Vienna Döbling and one of the 89 Vienna Katastralgemeinden (cadastral communities).
Grinzing is in the northwest of Vienna and it is with an area of 613.52 ha the largest part of the district Döbling. In the northeast it borders on the Josefsdorf, then the border runs along the Wildgrube and the Schreiberbach (brook) to the east and then branches off along the Springsiedelgasse and the Neugebauerweg to the south.
Grinzing in winter
Along the hunger mountain road (Hungerbergstraße) the border to Unterdöbling follows the course of the Kaasgraben, Grinzing from Sievering separating. Over the Road to Heaven (Himmelstraße) and the Spießweg the border finally runs in a north-westerly direction to the city limits, Grinzing from Weidling (Lower Austria) separating.
Cobenzlgasse
Grinzing is in large areas marked of wooded ridges of the Vienna Woods. At the border to Lower Austria is also the highest mountain of Vienna, the Hermannskogel. In addition, here are some very well-known mountains like Reisenberg, Latisberg, Vogelsangberg, Hunger Mountain (Hungerberg) and Pfaffenberg. In the parts of the Grinziger Vienna Woods are also several streams, such as the Schreiberbach in Wildgrube which runs unspoilt until shortly before Nußdorf. Additionally, originates to the west of the Reisenberg the Reisenbergbach (which from the border of the village is administered as stream channel) and in the western part of Grinzing lies the headwaters of the Arbesbach. Another characteristic of Grinzing are also the remaining vines, which are found especially on Reisenberg and Hungerberg.
Road to Heaven/Cobenzlgasse
Besides the numerous wine taverns in particular the Grinziger church and the Kaasgrabenkirche (church) are worth seeing. In the expansive part of the Vienna Woods is also based the Habsburgwarte on the Hermannskogel, the Karl Lueger Memorial, the restaurant "Cobenzel" on Reisenberg, as well as the romantic forest-Biedermeier cemetery on the slopes of Mount Kahlenberg, amongst other things, with the graves of the "most beautiful woman of the Congress of Vienna" as well as various high aristocrats of the era of Metternich. A special treasure represents the organ in the parish church of Grinzing.
On the Grinzinger cemetery are the graves of Gustav Mahler, Alma Mahler-Werfel, Attila Hörbiger, Paula Wessely, Peter Alexander, Heimito von Doderer, Ida Krottendorf and Thomas Bernhard.

The wine taverns
Winery "Bach Hengl", Sandgasse
The history of the Viennese wine tavern actually goes back to the Roman Emperor Probus, who allowed his legionaries wine cultivation in the provinces in the year 276. In the Middle Ages also there are numerous sources that relate to the wine, such as a clerk, who advised his contemporaries" never to drink at a stretch more than six measures (liters) as the temperance is a really godly virtue".
Certainly, at that time, one was not yet driving with the car... No medieval ruler adopted that many laws regarding the wine, the cultivation of wine and the wine law as Charlemagne.
Winery "Bach Hengl", Sandgasse
Another Emperor, Joseph II of Habsburg, in 1784 finally created the first generally accepted statutory basis for the wine tavern, according to which each wine grower (Weingärtner) was allowed pour out self-produced juice of the grape.
The word Heuriger has a double meaning and means both the wine of the last harvest, in November of the following year becoming the 'old' one, and the place where you drink it.
Winery "Berger", Road to Heaven
Currently in Vienna of about 300 winemakers on 700 hectares viticulture is operated. 90 percent of Viennese wine harvest of about 30,000 hectoliters are white wine, the rest red wine: a total of 12 million quarters.
