I didn`t notice it when I was taking the photo - there`s a spider stalking these two common blue butterflies !
A view of #Seattle from #KerryPark, you can see the #ClimatePledge Arena, #LumenField, #TMobilePark, the Seattle Great Wheel and other buildings. The day was one of the best this spring, with the sky really clear that you could see iconic Mount Rainier in the distance. Looks kind of Photoshopped, doesn't it?
18. bis 20. Juli 2014 in der Innenstadt Jedes Jahr im Juli wird der Frankfurter Christopher Street Day (CSD) gefeiert. Das Mega-Event für Lesben und Schwule ist eine spannende Mischung aus Party, politischer Demonstration und buntem Showprogramm. Alle sind zum Mitfeiern eingeladen und jedes Mal nehmen über 100.000 Besucherinnen und Besucher am CSD teil. Das weltweit stattfindende Festival erinnert an das erste bekannt gewordene Aufbegehren der Homosexuellen gegen Polizeiwillkür in der New Yorker Christopher Street am 27. Juni 1969. Daher ist am Samstag ein Höhepunkt des CSD die zweieinhalbstündige Demonstrationsparade durch die Frankfurter Innenstadt, bei der die Lesben und Schwule selbstbewusst und ausgelassen ihre Lebensweise zelebrieren. Der schrille und bunte Zug beginnt auf dem mit Regenbogenfahnen beflaggten Römerberg und endet auf der Konstablerwache. Im Laufe des Tages ist jedes Mal ein besonders bewegender Moment die traditionelle Schweigeminute für die AIDS-Toten.
Während des Wochenendes findet ein großes Bühnen- und Partyprogramm mit Freiluft-Disco statt. Geboten wird Live-Musik von Dance-Pop bis hin zu Schlagermusik, Musikkabarett, Travestie, Karaoke und vieles mehr. Zudem informieren schwul-lesbische Vereine und Initiativen über ihre Aktivitäten. Wenn die Feier endet, ist die Party aber noch längst nicht vorbei. Denn in unzähligen Frankfurter Bars und Diskotheken wird bis in die frühen Morgenstunden ausgelassen weitergefeiert.

In the Name of God, Jens Galschiøt 2006.
The sculpture has just been exhibited for more than two months in front of the Cathedral of Copenhagen. Other copies have recently been displayed at the World Social Forum in Kenya. The artist is envisaging exhibitions on St. Peter’s Sq. in Rome, in the European Parliament, in the US and some other sites. The project is an artistic comment to the extreme Bible fundamentalists – with President Bush and the Pope in the lead – who preach sexual abstinence until marriage as the only method to avoid HIV contamination and unwanted pregnancy.
They will bomb back sexual education and ban information on contraception that they see as an invitation to voluptuousness. In the same token the Roman Catholic Church asserts that contraception is impermissible according to the biblical doctrines, so they advocate the absurd allegation that only ‘unprotected sex’ is admissible. The consequences may be disastrous for the proliferation of AIDS and HIV and so the result will be increased suffering, Jens Galschiot says and continues: The sculpture is not a comment on the issue of abortion or stem cells, but should be seen as an artistic advocacy for the right to contraception and unprejudiced sexual education.
Symbolism of the sculpture
The pregnant teenager symbolizes innocence. The child that has been lead astray due to ignorance, impulsiveness or maybe is the victim of rape is mercilessly exposed to the ultimate punishment. The association to Jesus as the innocent sacrificial lamb is apparent.
The sculpture is not a global accusation against Christianity. On the contrary, I admire those Christians who take the Gospel’s claim of charity seriously – and act accordingly. I think that progressive Christians should dissociate themselves from the abuse of ‘their’ God for the sake of a reactionary contraception policy, Jens Galschiot declares and continues: To sustain the debate we have uploaded comprehensive documentation on our website:
www.aidoh.dk. There you’ll also find a debate forum.
The sculpture is close to the Cathedral of Aarhus

Weathervane Playhouse in Akron, Ohio, presents Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" -- live on stage from Jan. 29 to Feb. 15.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Set during the early 1950s, "A Raisin in the Sun" tells the timeless story of one family’s grasp for a piece of the American Dream — and the explosive backlash that erupts when they seek to become the first black family to move into an all-white neighborhood.
The play revolves around the divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Youngers, a black family living in a cramped apartment in Chicago’s racially segregated Southside neighborhood. The family’s struggle for dignity and their quest for a better life shape the powerful drama in this ground-breaking masterpiece of the American theater
Younger family matriarch Lena (whom everyone calls “Mama”) is the strong, moral heart of her clan, but she clashes frequently with her extended family. The family’s “man of the house” is her son Walter Lee, who works as a chauffeur but remains frustrated by his dead-end position in both life and the workplace. Walter’s wife is Ruth, who masks her discontent by directing all her energies toward her husband and their young son, Travis. Walter’s sister, Beneatha, is a young dreamer who dabbles in various hobbies and activities but embraces a strong desire to become a doctor.
When the insurance money from her deceased husband’s insurance policy comes through, Mama dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood. But Walter Lee, who describes himself as a volcano full of internalized regrets and pipe dreams, has other plans: he wants to buy a liquor store and be “his own man.” Meanwhile, Beneatha wants to spend the money on her medical schooling. The tensions within the family and the blatant prejudice they receive from outside their home combine to shape the rich dramatic texture in this seminal American play.

Elwood Kammer had a long résumé when it came to football heritage in Massillon, Ohio. He started on the high school gridiron, and was a halfback for the Massillon Panhandles in the mid-1920s. After graduating from Massillon, Kammer attended Grove City College in Pennsylvania where he repeated his success as a running back, receiving all-district honors in 1929 and 1930. After college, he became assistant coach for Beaver Falls High School in Pennsylvania. He returned to Massillon in 1935 and was an assistant coach under Paul Brown for the Massillon Tigers. He was appointed interim head coach in 1942, where he led the Tigers for three years, and held a record of 26–4, winning the State Championship in 1943. Kammer stayed involved in Massillon as a teacher at the high school, and came out of coaching retirement in the late 1940s to lead the Massillon Progressive Chevrolets amateur team, and again a decade later with the Massillon Tigertown Stars amateur team.

Just in time for Valentine's Day!! ;)
I found this while going through my filing cabinet and purging some long overdue to go away documents. Needless to say, this is staying.
Giselle was a young girl that I met when I worked at Camp Kenesserie waaaaaay back in the early 80's - she was one of my campers. Obviously I liked this birthday gift since I still have it over 30 years later. Too funny to see this again!
Hanging about 5 meters above a small quarry lake, with its engine missing, this old Moseley Continental Bus was once used as transport for a girl's country band, a chipper and, finally, a home.

In 1848 a Silesian farmer, Franz Weickert gathered together a group of people interested in forming a new community free of religious persecution in South Australia. Weckert financed the voyage for many of the people and he obtained the services of a Father Kranewitter, a Jesuit brother and two others called Schriener and Sadler. They took up land at Sevenhill near Clare and called the local stream the Tiber (after the River in Rome) and the place, Sevenhill after the seven hills of Rome. Franz Weckert never recovered his money from the settlers and died a poor man at Sevenhill in 1875. The three Jesuits erected a building on their land and established the first Catholic seminary in Australia. Local Catholics contributed substantially to Jesuit funds after their return from the Victorian goldfields and the first church was finished in 1856. The current church was a later structure that was started in 1861. The Catholic Polish community of nearby Polish Hill River also contributed to the new church. It was officially opened in November 1866. A crypt was constructed underneath the church, for the burial of the Jesuit fathers.
Over the next few years the college was constructed, clearly with plans for further additions, which never occurred. The foundation stone for the college was laid in 1868 and the college was completed by 1871 when press advertising for students began. Among the early students were Peter and Donald MacKillop, brothers of Mary MacKillop. The college was officially opened in 1875. It catered for around 40 students a year until it closed in 1885. Apart from the college and church, the Jesuit brothers brought the wine industry to the Clare Valley. They established the first vineyard of the district in 1851 (about the same time as the first vines were planted in the Barossa and also at Langhorne Creek).

The afternoon I spent on these backroads filled with the wind in the windmills and cornfields have left me with impressions that will last in my mind's eye. The memory will wash over me when I pass any cornfield from now on. The lure of spending more time experiencing the possibility of capturing endless variations of this dance is simmering within me. I appreciate the gift of these images to remind me of that day. I can feel the wind and hear the sounds of the corn leaves whipping and brushing against each other. I can feel the wonder of looking deep into the cornstalks, seeing interactions beyond the passing glance from within a car on the road. It was a good day.

Louis Blériot had cerainly to urge to try ever new things. Because of this habit several of his planes were extensively modified during its existance. In case in point is the Blériot Type VIII whic esentially went through several stages, finalized in its third version (the Type VIII ter).
Blériot was constantly chasing his engineers to come up with new forms of ailerons with the aim of a more stable flight. In this last iteraion (Type VIII ter) ailerons were mounted on the wingtips, a feature also used by Ambroise Goupy in his Goupy II biplane. The Blériot Type VIII ter had also a fuselage that was 2,50 meter shorter than its predecessor, the Type VIII bis.
The end of a Blériot type generally was reached when the type severely crashed and became unrepairable. Blériot andhis engineers started then a completely new design.
With the Type VIII ter Blériot had still some way to go to successfull Type XI (nicknamed The Channel / La Manche). The Type IX monoplane although built never flew and the Type X (a biplane !) was no success either. Luckily he hired as an apprentice engineer Raymond Saulnier who designed most of the successfull Type XI before leaving to Raymond Morane inaugurating with him the later world famous Morane-Saulnier firm. Saulnier held the title chief engineer till at least the thirties.

De Martinikerk heeft drie nieuwe glas-in-loodramen gekregen ter ere van het 35-jarig bestaan van de Vereniging Vrienden Martinikerk. Ze zijn gemaakt door glazenier Peter Broekhuizen uit Beerta.
De ramen bevatten afbeeldingen van de 15de eeuwse Groninger humanisten Rudolf Agricola (links) en Wessel Gansfort. In het middelste raam is het oude stadswapen van Groningen afgebeeld, ook uit de 15de eeuw, met daarop een eenkoppige adelaar. Tegenwoordig heeft die adelaar twee koppen.
