went to a trendy, yet slummy, section of the city...its where most demostrations are held....schanzenviertel or schanze for short...its where outsiders come in to protest or tag the walls of the neighborhood...mainly the people who live there are very anti_establishment people and who really do not mind the edgy neighborhood ...the buildings were from the late 1880s, but a tad run down...and the tons of garbage graffitti tags didnt help the look of the place. granted, there was some awesome graffiti and beautiful arty posters plastered all over the place too...dumb, useless tags are truely a blight
there was a little streat performance going on between a pair of young lovers...they looked really cool and mimed a couple's meet up in a movie to a relationship...it was kind of cool...though, the usa is sort of over mimes, at least there was no white makeúp...
there are many little boutiques and many little eateries on the first floor of the 4 to 6 story apartment buildings. there are scattering of cafes which probally sell more beer than cafe...there was one grocery store selling COLD BEER, but using the phrase ASS COLD which is a slang for 'extremely cold' in German, BIER ARSCHKANT 1 EURO...ASS COLD BEER 1 EURO..lol
there was some awesome graffiti and paste_up posters which were impossible to take down...you so know i would of done that...i didnt have my roll of clear packing tape, which is my secret for taking down a glued on poster. tape over the poster and gently pull off the wall.
someone did 3-D sculptures out of thick poster board...they were incredible...chamaleons, strange monsters, and assorted creatures...so, there was some very creative art work up....
the volunteer fire department had the whole building done with ROY LICTHCHENSTIEN type of drawings of firement, a woman screaming 'fire', and lots of flames....it was all professionally done, and with approval of the fire department....They spray painted the words in flames, 'FEUER UND FLAMME' in english 'FIRE AND FLAMES' which means being 'obsessed' ...quite clever...and the art work was incredible.
it was a fun walk around the trendy neighborhood, but i wouldn't want to live there, as they say.....speaking of neighborhoods, when we took the U-BAHN and S-BAHN train (U underground, S fast=direct) The conductor came on the speaker system and said, 'Eppendorfer Baum, If you want to live in a nice neighborhood, this is where you get off.' Everyone laughed. (During WWII, this is the area the British did NOT bomb during the raids, because of all the beautiful manisons. The British wanted to occupy those houses after the war. The Americans bombed the factories, not the neighborhoods.)
We did do a U-BAHN metro stop photo op...yes, we stopped at the SCHLUMP station...That brings a huge smile to any English speaker....SCHLUMP....lol..Though the state sponsored billboards , which ares 10 feet by 15 feet in the SCHLUMP metro station cause me to just break out laughing....it featured a stick drawing of a woman and man...the stick guy had his pants open while the woman stick figure was looking down them. 'PREMATURE EJACUATION? 1 out of 5 men experience it. Call for fast help to slow you down.'

Gahhh i'm in a BJD craze now and it's not even funny -_- i even checked out all the clothing sites and wigs and shoes and stuff just for MSD sized dolls. I'm contemplating between these 2. I fell in love first with minifee Celine(the right) ,a new release so there aren't any owner photos YET. I just don't like her eyeshadow.... It's purple and very hard to match with wigs .3. I plan on buying my first BJD with faceup because my mom will NEVER let me send my dolls to get a custom faceup.... Not until i have my own house which is like 10 years from now?! Saving up for a bjd does not take 10 years. I also love Minifee ShuShu <3 (the left). Her faceup is soooooo sweet :3
So yeah i think the time when im allowed to get a bjd would be the end of next year ,which i hopefully have enought money by then. Lol my parents already do not approve of pullips and bot they must be thinking im on crack, buying $500 dolls XD so what do you think?
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center’s most colorful day of the year came May 8 as the Presidio opened its doors and welcomed a crowd estimated at more than 5,000 during its 31st hosting of Language Day. Attendees were treated to a diversity of songs, skits, dances, classroom demonstrations as well as food and wares that represented the cultures of 23 languages studied here at the military’s preeminent language training facility. Also in attendance were 54 combat veterans of the Vietnam War, honored guests during a “Welcome Home” ceremony led by Col. Paul Fellinger, Presidio of Monterey garrison commander, and Dan Presser, Military and Veterans Affairs Advisory Committee member, in commemoration of the war’s 50th anniversary.

Most pineapples in our local markets are grown in Costa Rica. Sometimes you'll find a "Maui Gold." This is a direct scan of a Del Monte fruit label from an O'ahu-grown "gold" pineapple.
We would plant the tops after we cut our fruit, and they did bear pineapples (in two years) but they were small and not as sweet as the parent plant.
Purely natural henna stains the top most layers of your skin, leaving a beautiful stain which lasts 7-10 days. Henna cones are used to draw intricate designs, often rooted in traditional henna-mehndi motifs, without any stencils or stamps. Kristy is well versed in many designs and may be able to create something just for you with a "Trust your Artist" option. The pattern books cannot hold all that is possible in henna patterns.

King of Nowhere, 2015
Cast iron and mixed media
"This pair of works are my reaction after talking to a group of young men from Skelmersdale, Lancashire. They are the victims of poverty, chaotic parenting, bad role models and disrupted education...Deprived of acceptable badges of status, job, money, education, power and family, they exercised their masculinity in a way that seemed to echo back to the dawn of humanity - they defended territory...The Digmoor Tapestry is a map of the estate they defended...The King of Nowhere resembles an African power figure, but it is made of cast iron - the material used for bollards, those pieces of street furniture placed to deny access." GP
From the exhibition guide:
"Born in Chelmsford, Essex in 1960, Grayson Perry is a chronicler of contemporary life. This exhibition of tapestries, woodcut prints, bronze sculptures and ceramic works will lead you through the artist's most recent explorations of masculinity, national identity and populism. You'll discover autobiographical references throughout the exhibition - the artist's childhood, his family and his transvestite alter ego Claire - as well as familiar contemporary figures through which Perry investigates how our identities are shaped and how our values are built."

43rd Avenue, Corona, Queens
Built in 1912-14, Fire Engine Company 289, Ladder Company 138 is one of Corona's most prominent public buildings. Designed by the architectural firm Satterlee & Boyd, the French Renaissance-style structure was erected as part of an ambitious campaign to bring professional fire service to Queens following the Consolidation of Greater New York. Part of the earliest group of station designs introduced during the automobile age, it features side-by-side apparatus bays specifically designed for motorized vehicles. Notable features include the use of tapestry brick, bronze and marble medallions, decorative ironwork, and a steeply pitched mansard roof clad in gray slate. Standing amidst single-family residences and small industrial buildings, Fire Engine Company 289, Ladder Company 138 is an outstanding example of early twentieth century civic architecture, symbolizing Greater New York's commitment to the citizens of Corona.
Fire Engine Company 289, Ladder Company 138 occupies a mid-block fifty by one hundred foot lot on the south side of 43rd Avenue, between 97th Place and National Avenue. The steel-frame structure is faced with red brick, "buff Indiana" limestone, and "Stony Creek" granite. Characteristic of the late French Renaissance style, limestone is used primarily for parts of the facade where the structural load appears greatest: across the base or first story, in the second and third story window surrounds, and in the projecting cornice.
The first story has two identical apparatus bays, each topped by basket arches and scroll-shaped keystones. Above the granite water table, the first story is faced with limestone. Each apparatus bay is framed by engaged bollards and has a single non-historic roll-down door decorated with a grid of square panels, painted red. There are six horizontal panels, and five vertical. The east apparatus bay is windowless, whereas the west bay has three small windows and an inset door for firemen and visitors. The base is surmounted by a belt course/cornice to which text is attached with individual metal letters and numbers: "138 HOOK & LADDER 138," above the east bay, and "289 ENGINE 289," above the west bay.
Between the two vehicular entrances is a round-arched window shielded by a three-panel wrought-iron gate. The highly decorated metalwork is painted red. There are four identical, non-historic lighting fixtures attached to the raised limestone band that transects the lower facade. The pair of fixtures that frame the center window is connected by metal tubing to a halogen fixture above. Between the window and the east apparatus bay is a non-historic metal sign. Directly east of the building is a one-
story aluminum-mesh gate that opens to a passage that leads to the rear of the site.
The second story has three sets of historic six-over-six windows, all with limestone surrounds and ornamented keystones. A flagpole is installed on the right side of the center window, on the sill. Below each window is a limestone panel with a rectangular inset, fronted with wrought-iron grillwork, painted red. At the center of each grille is a four-part shield in which each segment is decorated with the Fire Department's initials: F/D/N/Y. While the shields and the placement of the initials are identical in each grille, the letters at the center of each shield vary: the east shield is inscribed "139," the center shield "S&B," and the west shield "289." At either side of the center window is a marble medallion with the seal of the New York City Fire Department. These bronze reliefs are identical, except for the words that encircle them; the text on the east medallion is: "SIGILLUM CIV1TATIS NOVI EBORAC1 1913," The text on the west medallion is: "CITY OF NEW YORK FIRE DEPARTMENT."
The windows alternate with brick panels, laid in a tapestry pattern. Each panel is framed by ashlar limestone bands. A narrow screened window is set into the center of the east panel, and a white marble block of identical size is in the center of the west panel. Above each brick panel are limestone triglyphs and bricks. There are two sets of triglyphs above the outside panels and one set above each of the two center panels. The triglyphs are aligned with the brackets above.
The second story is divided from the third stoiy by a projecting bracketed limestone cornice with a
thin strip of dentil moldings aligned above the second story windows. The third story has a mansard roof with three dormers framed in limestone. Each dormer has a pediment supported by a stylized keystone and a pair of identical scroll-topped pilasters. The windows, which are original, are six-over-six and painted red. The steeply-pitched mansard roof is covered by dark gray slate shingles that appear to be original. The sides of each dormer are faced with copper sheeting. The center and east dormers are covered with window screens. Narrow copper strips, followed by larger, raised bands of limestone, mark the east and west termination of the third story. Across the top of the mansard is non-historic red metal sheeting.
The windowless east facade, visible above the adjacent one-story garage, is faced with brick, painted daric maroon. A recently installed aluminum chimney is attached to the facade near the rear. The west facade, visible, in front of, and above, the adjacent attached houses, is treated the same. The south facade, visible from both National Avenue and 44th Avenue (aka North Railroad Avenue), is similarly faced with brick. The rear windows are non-historic. On the second story is a terrace extension with an iron railing across the lower rear parapet.

This is probably one of the most rev-happy engines I've ever experienced! I've driven both a 2011 S63 ////AMG and a 2013 SL63 ////AMG which both have this motor, holy smokes is it ever insane! The noise is spot on, there's a massive amount of torque throughout the entire rev-band thanks to the twin turbos and it's also just fun to rev while you leave the car in park/neutral! It's fun to watch the tach needle move wildly while barely tapping the gas! Great engine this is!

Most people spell the color (or more properly, neutral) g-r-a-y, but I prefer grey for some reason. I suppose as the rules of grammar change, it will one day no longer be accepted, but by then I may be gone, so it won't matter to me anymore!
If you live long enough, you see a lot of changes. You get to see the repetition of things, and eventually only the really fabulous events and sights of life are what seem to be stored in your memory, but more interesting, what you PERCEIVE as fabulous completely changes!
As a child, and through much of my adult life, I wanted to be a singer. I would come home from school and practice for hours, and even more hours on the piano, which I was atrocious at! (My poor family!) The neighbors would hear me starting to practice opera, and I'd hear some of them curse, slam the windows down, and turn on the air, because they hated it! I learned to practice with my own windows shut- no small feat, since we didn't have air conditioning, and the room would soar up over 100 degrees in the warmer months! That was how much I valued the prospect of becoming a singer. Oh, and by the way, I WAS very good! I went to college at the age of 16 on a partial music scholarship, and had teachers literally fighting over who would get to teach me, as I had a rare voice type!
Through the years, illness and circumstance robbed me of much of my talent, and opportunity. It was always a tough pill to swallow, and I spent many years almost unable to accept that those great dreams would fall somewhere between the black and white, into all those shades of grey that I hated so very much.
It never occurred to me that one day I would appreciate anything else, and that the extreme definites weren't all I had to live for. That's what happened , though, and at some point I realized I was worth more than a pair of lungs and some wobbly vocal chords! My other abilities came forth, and one of them is what you see developing in front of you here on Flickr.
I'm not a great photographer, but like a frumpy girl with great bones, there's potential. I've lived long enough for life to have fallen into the shades of grey, and I find it's not such an unpleasant place to be, after all.

Most of Old Warden village was created by Lord Ongley in the later part of the 18th and early part of the 19th centuries as a model estate village to replace the old village at Warden Street.
The present village comprises of ornate cottages in irregularly and loosely spaced groups surrounded by a setting of trees, hedgerows and slopes.
Most people can't deal with a meatless meal. I can understand that to a degree - it's a concept parents have drilled into our heads for years, "meat and two veg".
Once you get over the shock of a meatless meal, Fresh always leaves you feeling full. The portions don't look big, but they pack their food with full-particles, so you never leave unsatisfied - much like having consumed a big hunk of meat.
Great spot for lunch.
One of the most recognised landmarks in Melbourne, the iconic Forum Melbourne has an extensive history covering film, cabaret, comedy and live music.
Sold in the first Melbourne land auction in 1837, the site on the corner of Flinders and Russell Streets was originally used as a private residence. Over the years, the land was regularly repurposed – an iron store, coal yards, offices and a bond store – until the turn of the century, when the Herald and Standard Newspaper Company occupied the Flinders Street building, with the State Migration Office around the corner in Russell Street.
Both premises were vacated when purchased by Stuart Doyle, Managing Director of Union Theatres, to make way for the new State Theatre ‘picture palace’.
In the early 1920’s, during a visit to America, Stuart Doyle met John Eberson, who had designed a chain of ‘atmospheric’ theatres, including the famed Riviera in Chicago. Unique for their ceilings that give the illusion of sitting under a night sky, atmospheric theatres were especially popular in North America, and Eberson its main proponent.
Doyle commissioned Eberson to design three Australian theatres – the State Theatre, the Capitol Theatre in Sydney, and the Ambassador in Perth. Construction began in 1927, and was built as a mirror image of Sydney’s Capitol Theatre. The auditorium had the ambience of a Florentine garden, even featuring a copy of the Venus De Capua (the original stands in the Naples Museum), and busts of classic Greek and Roman statues such as Diana of Versailles (the original stands in the Louvre) and Discobolus (now in the Vatican). The majority of the sculptures were cast directly from the originals. To encourage the theatre’s image of a heavenly garden, fresh flowers were placed around the auditorium, to fragrantly complete the picture.
Throughout the entire auditorium, the cerulean blue ceiling – imitating the Mediterranean sky – gave the feeling of being seated under an open evening sky, complete with twinkling stars and projected clouds floating past.
Union Theatres competed with Hoyts’ Regent Theatre in Collins Street to be the first to open an extravagant picture palace. The State won the race after seven months’ construction time and opened on 23 February 1929, three weeks ahead of the Regent. A fabulous creation of fantasy both inside and out, it is also one of only a few atmospheric theatres built outside North America.
Opening night was nothing less than spectacular, and presented the silent films The Fleet’s In starring Miss Clara Bow, and The Cameraman starring Buster Keaton. The first ‘talkie’ was The Doctor's Secret, premiering on 6 April 1929. By 1938, the longer theatre hours allowed a feature movie, with an orchestral presentation and a Tivoli stage act.
The State Theatre quickly became a Melbourne landmark. Its iconic copper-domed clock tower rose 49 meters from the street, and was immediately noticed by commuters exiting Flinders Street Station. The grand façade featured a replica minaret of one standing on a Cairo mosque alongside smaller minarets with ornate windows. Together with pressed cement walls, lace-like balustrading, slender columns, receding balconies and towers all painted in bright, bold colours and lit with twinkling lights, the Forum was an imposing, magnificent Melbourne monument.
The grandness of the theatre was immediately apparent as soon as audiences entered the foyer. Patrons’ attention was immediately drawn to the illuminated clock in the centre of the floor, synchronised to the clock tower. Audiences in the 1,372 seat Dress Circle entered through rotundas on either side, while audiences in the 1,999 seat Stalls were overwhelmed by the vast night sky, complete with accurately placed constellations. At 3,371 seats, the Forum featured the largest seating capacity in the southern hemisphere.
By the early 60’s, television had made serious cuts to theatre attendance, so Greater Union decided to convert the State Theatre into two smaller theatres. The walls were brought in, reducing the seating area, and wall decorations were repositioned. The Dress Circle and Stalls were then split into two theatres – the Forum downstairs, and the upstairs Rapallo, for which a new stage was built.
The Forum opened in 1962, and the Rapallo opened in 1963. In November 1978, the building was added to the Historic Buildings Register and came under the protection of the National Trust. In 1981, both theatres were extensively refurbished and opened as Forum I and Forum II.
In November 1986, the Forum complex was purchased by the Melbourne Revival Centre and used as their meeting place for almost ten years. In 1996, David Marriner bought the complex, converting the Forum into one of Melbourne’s premier live music and cabaret venues, with comedians, magicians, dancers and live bands performing under the cerulean sky. Forum II is a 500 seat theatre-style auditorium used for film screenings and smaller-scale live performances.
The Forum continues to bring pleasure to many patrons, both young and old, and is proof positive that beauty and originality are timeless, and that this unique building will continue to light up the eyes of an appreciative public for many years to come.
