In recent months many of the Royal Mail pillar boxes in Wimbledon, Merton and Colliers Wood have all been treated to different yarn knitting patterns on their top sections from a person or persons unknown, with the top of this EIIR ciphered pillar box in Christchurch Road just round the corner from Colliers Wood Underground station having a knitting pattern based on a seashell and seaside theme. Whoever creates these patterns has a great gift where a simple thing like this can brighten up an everyday roadside object such as a pillar box into a talking point for all people who pass it by - or use it - whether young or old alike!

Once the word was out that newly appointed L.A. MOCA curator, Jeffrey Deitch, was constructing a show about the history of graffiti the cannons were set loose for an exhibition that would change the scene forever. In the run of it all Deitch has entered himself in the graffiti game as one of the most infamous curators, and buffers by removing Blu’s commissioned mural, and then going over KATSU’s last minute fire extinguisher tag. In all respects, if it wasn’t for Deitch who hired the two co-curators, Roger Gastman and Aaron Rose, whom all together assembled one of the most talked about, reviewed, and critically important shows of the year.

63rd Street & Central Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The NW corner was home the the 1927 Spanish Baroque styled building, known as the Crane & Moreland Building. The second and third floors were apartments. There were various businesses that occupied the ground floor over they years. The most notable one was Central Drugs which opened in 1945 and remained until 2013. At one time Rexall products were sold here. Central Drugs relocated 1 mile west to 63rd & Narragansett Ave.
The Federal Aviation Administration decided that the three story building was too tall and to close to the runways of Midway Airport. It was deemed a safety issue so the FAA bought the property in 2013 and demolished the building in September of 2014.
As you can see by the photo's the Terra Cotta trim and Friezes were saved and made into the pillars and raised planter boxes.
A memorial plaque was also placed at the corner to pay tribute to Martin Moreland and George Crane, as well as Architect, Edward G. McClellan.

In May, bog conservationists from Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia convened in the north Georgia mountains for the spring, 2014 meeting of the Bog Learning Network. The event provided an opportunity for biologists to see, first hand, the result of management efforts at two north Georgia bogs. More importantly, the outings provided an opportunity to share innovative approaches to bog management, such as the role of the Georgia Plant Conservation Alliance in conserving rare plants and coordinating a cadre of volunteers to work on bog management.
The Bog Learning Network was convened in the winter of 2013 as a way to bring together people working for bog conservation across the Southern Appalachians. Southern Appalachian bogs are one of North America’s rarest habitats and home to many rare plants and animals.

Ten Years After ist eine britische Bluesrock-Band, die 1.9.6.7 von Leo Lyons und Alvin Lee gegründet wurde.

Geschichte
******************************************************************************************************************
.
.
.
Bereits 1.9.6.0 traten die beiden gemeinsam in verschiedenen Gruppen auf, so in J.ayman, M.ansfield, A.tomities und anderen. Mit den Jaymans ( mit Sänger Ivan Jay und Schlagzeuger Quickmire ) spielten sie sehr erfolgreich in H.amburg.
In dieser Zeit traten auch die B.eatles im H.amburger S.tarclub auf. Später wurde Quickmire durch Ric Lee ( nicht verwandt mit Alvin Lee ) ersetzt. Nach Fernsehauftritten in der "Saturday Night Sunday Morning" Show wurden sie bekannter und tourten in der Gegend von N.ottingham.
Ihr (Kurzzeit) Roadie Chick Churchill wechselte die Seite und setzte sich selbst an die O.rgel.
Der Clubmanager Chris Wright erkannte das musikalische Potenzial und verhalf zu Auftritten in diversen Clubs. Sie wollten ohne Ivan Jay bekannt werden und suchten nach einem passenden Namen.
Die "zehn Jahre" aus dem Bandnamen beziehen sich anderslautenden Gerüchten zuwider aber weder auf E.lvis P.resley noch auf den Rock 'n' Roll. Blues Trip, B.lues Y.ards und L.ife W.ithout M.other waren die ersten Ideen für einen Bandnamen. Dann las Leo in der Zeitung über "Zehn Jahre nach dem Ende der Wehrpflicht in U.K. …" und Ten Years After war entstanden.
Ihr zweites Album Undead enthielt die Hitsingle I’m Going Home. Es folgte S.tonedhenge, das in E.ngland ein Hit war, und der vielbeachtete Auftritt der Band 1.9.6.9 beim W.oodstock-F.estival: Gegen 2000 Uhr begann der 90-minütige Auftritt der Band, die ziemlich rastlos nach einem Konzert mit N.ina S.imone aus S.t. L.ouis angereist waren. Da der R.egen die Luftfeuchtigkeit verändert hatte, musste die Band während ihres ersten Songs Good Morning Little School Girl nach ca. einer Minute abbrechen, um die Gitarren erneut stimmen zu können. Nach dem regulären Set folgte die Zugabe I’m going home, während Alvin Lee fast zehn Minuten lang sein Instrument bearbeitete. Dies war der einzige Song des Auftritts, der von der Filmcrew aufgenommen wurde. Sie hatte mit drei Kameras begonnen zu filmen, von denen allerdings bei einer in der Hälfte des Auftritts der Film am Ende angelangt war. Für die Dreifach-Splitscreen-Version des Films wurde deshalb gegen Ende das gespiegelte Filmmaterial der rechten Kamera benutzt, um die Lücke zu füllen.
Nach einigen weiteren Erfolgen, vor allem dem Live - Doppelalbum Recorded Live von 1.9.7.3, brach die Gruppe 1.9.7.4 auseinander. 1.9.8.8 gab es eine Wiedervereinigung für einige Konzerte und ein weiteres Album: About Time ( 1.9.8.9 ).
2.0.0.4 erschien das Album Now in beinahe Originalbesetzung ( Alvin Lee wurde durch Joe Gooch ersetzt ) und es wurde eine Tournee zum Album veranstaltet. Dabei wurde einiges Material mitgeschnitten und 2.0.0.5 als Doppelalbum Roadworks veröffentlicht.

Mühle - Mühli Hunziken

Die Mühli Hunziken ist eine ehemalige Mühle in Rubigen bei Bern in der Schweiz, die
seit 1974 zu einem Konzertlokal umgebaut worden ist.
Aufgebaut und geführt wurde sie bis am 2.3. J.uni 2.0.1.1 durch P.eter B.urkhart oder fast
besser bekannt als " M.üli - P.esche ". Für die G.eschicke der Mühli und die Ansagen
"... no churz zum hütige Abe ... " und "Isch öper mit em Zug cho?" sind neu die Gebrüder
F.ankhauser und S.ohn T.homas B.urkhart zuständig.
P.eter B.urkhart starb am 2.5. D.ezember 2.0.1.4
.
.
.
Ab dem S.B.B - B.ahnhof Rubigen an der S.trecke Bern - T.hun sind es etwa 1.0 - 1.5
Minuten zu Fuss.
.
.
.
Das Ambiente der Mühli ist sehr speziell, im Innern wie auch draussen hat es zahlreiche
Kunst- und Altagsgegenstände ausgestellt. Die U.hr zeigt immer fünf vor zwölf, über der
B.ühne schwebt ein S.chwein mit einer K.rone und ein F.uchs serviert eine G.ans. Von
ganz oben schaut auch E.T. den Konzerten zu und vor der Mühli sitzt J.ohn B.elushi auf
einer S.itzbank.
.
.
Die Bühne ist eher klein und man ist so sehr nahe bei den Musikern , man kann die
Konzerte aber auch von den drei oberen Stockwerken mitverfolgen wo man einen sehr
speziellen Blickwinkel auf die M.usiker hat.
.
.
.
.
Wer noch nie an einem Konzert in der Mühli war sollte dies bei Gelegenheit mal nachholen.

On 2nd January 2012, Pakistani citizens took to the street in anger against the Government's decision to not only raise natural gas prices but also cut-off supply to CNG stations to offset the shortage in supply to the Industrial units. Here is how I saw my fellow Pakistanis in action at Bharakahu, Islamabad. I am now more than convinced that these protests offer a window into the minds and psyche of what is actually 90% of Pakistan. (complete set: bit.ly/PkProtest)

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971) is an American politician who is the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana and the Vice Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
Jindal was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to immigrants from India. Prior to entering politics, Jindal studied for a Bachelor of Science in biology and public policy at Brown University from 1988 to 1991 and then a Master of Letters in political science from New College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. He worked for McKinsey & Company and interned for Representative Jim McCrery of Louisiana. In 1996, Governor Murphy Foster appointed Jindal Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, and in 1999 he was appointed President of the University of Louisiana System. In 2001, Jindal was appointed as the principal adviser to Tommy Thompson, the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services by President George W. Bush.
He first ran for governor in 2003 and won a plurality in the nonpartisan blanket primary but lost in the general election to Democrat Kathleen Blanco. He then won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in the 2004 elections. The second Indian American in Congress, he was re-elected in 2006. He ran for Governor again in 2007 and secured an outright majority in the first round of balloting; in doing so, he became the first Indian American governor in the United States. As of 2014, there have been two Indian American governors, Nikki Haley and Jindal. He was re-elected in a landslide in 2011.

A Pontefract Union workhouse was erected in 1862-4 at the north of Pontefract on a site bounded by Skinner Lane and Back Northgate. The building was constructed of brick with a three-storey main building. Other buildings on the site included a large infirmary at the north-west of the main block, and a separate block for women and children to the east. From 1904, to protect them from disadvantage in later life, the birth certificates for those born in the workhouse gave its address as 1 Paradise Gardens, Tanshelf, Pontefract. In 1930, the workhouse came under the control of the West Riding County Council. The site became part of the Osgoldcross Guardians' Area and was renamed Headlands Public Assistance Institution, providing care mainly for the elderly. Electricity was installed in 1935. In 1938, it is recorded that the building was used for gas-mask training. In 1948, the institution became part of the National Health Service as Northgate Lodge Hospital, still providing geriatric care. The northern part of the site became the Headlands Hospital. Nothgate Lodge closed in 1971 and some of the buildings were converted to offices for local social services. After the closure of Headlands Hospital, the whole site was redeveloped as housing. The main workhouse building still survives and has been converted to flats.
In this one I managed to keep the Deer deFence out of focus but it is behind the protection. In a week or two, the two toned lilac blooms will open and I will get photos of it too.
Thanks to all of you for your comments and faves. They are all very much appreciated.

Over the past four years, Bebnine tented settlement in Akkar North Lebanon, has become home to many Syrian Refugees- many from war-ravaged Syrian districts.
As culturally and ethnically diverse as the community is, there’s one thing that unites all disadvantaged youth from this camp: Soccer. Having a leading program in sports as tool for development, peace building, and conflict resolution, ANERA managed to rehabilitate a playground located two steps away from the camp. ANERA saw an opportunity to offer children a space for recreational activities.
On this Thursday morning, Zainab el Kheshen, came from Cairo, to teach young girls and boys soccer skills and to organize several games. Zainab, aged 31, holder of Bachelor degrees in Law, management and early childhood education, is a football trainer, who roamed around the Arab world to unite youth around her love for soccer, “I believe that soccer is a great tool for development, especially for young girls in conservative communities, who don’t even get the chance to go play outside, soccer offer them the opportunity to meet, to work out and to break gender boundaries.” Zainab Says.
39 girls and 11 boys were waiting for Zainab to arrive; they were already divided into teams, chose their team names carefully and started chanting cheerful songs.
Lina Amer, aged 12, heard the news about a volunteer coming from Egypt, and she didn’t hesitate joining the girl’s team. Lina who fled Kousseir area in Syria two years ago, has been sharing a tent in Akkar Lebanon with her family of 6 members, “we used to see the boys playing here and wishing we had a chance to play, we came every morning, stayed at the fence and watched them play,” Said Lina, adding “our parents don’t let us play soccer, they say it is a manly game, and girls should not play sports, but when they knew that a woman is going to train us, they agreed on letting us join the event.”
