Of all the jackets I've ever owned, this one brings back the most memories. I best remember wearing it many a night in the cold, (and many times rain), on the Lakenheath Flightline. You can still see the shadow where reflective tape was sewn. After applying the stencils with an ink roller I washed the jacket a couple of times to make the lettering match the jacket more.
Chicago Botanic Garden interns, Sam Fiek, a graduate of North Park University and Ellie Becklund, a graduate of the University of Arizona, gained valuable experience working with BLM Utah's Richfield Field Office Botanist, Dustin Rooks.
The Richfield team made great progress this summer collecting seeds from more than 30 species--thanks to above-average rainfall and a great growing season. The collections will be utilized in various phases of treatments for Greater Sage-Grouse habitat restoration planned this fall and in coming years.
The team’s focus sites included previously restored zones that now provide Greater Sage-Grouse habitat by successfully regaining plant diversity. For example, two years after the pinyon and juniper were removed and the habitat was mulched and seeded with grasses and forbs, the non-seeded native plants emerged. The team’s Seeds of Success collections were selected due to seed prolificacy in existing sagebrush treatments around Southern Utah. On-the-ground restoration work was accomplished by BLM and its partners in Utah's Watershed Restoration Initiative (WRI).

Get on at Balerno, 5.44pm.
Next to a field of ripe corn or wheat, and over the roofs of quiet bungalows. The heating is on and warm air wafts from a vent in front. A faded sign in the window of what appears to be just a house reading WE ARE OPEN ON SUNDAYS, and underneath it a string of small bells. Valley down to the Water of Leith, almost the beginning. A willow hanging right over the road. The city opens up on lower ground. And then near Slateford, a lattice of overhead railway cables, and a teenage girl pushing a buggy wearing mismatched fluorescent leg-warmers, one pink and one yellow. A man and woman carrying a bouquet through a graveyard. Over the railway itself, two trains leaving simultaneously. Fast by stops with nobody waiting and onto Princes Street. A guy charity collecting and standing with his legs too wide apart. A man with a scarred face and a large rottweiler but friendly looking. Brake lights. A church on York Place, pause beside stained-glass windows, and from the outside see only the outlines, of a figure kneeling. Spanish girls sitting behind, humming tunelessly. Another girl across the aisle is saying into her phone "I've been nothing but mean and cruel and violent and evil". Past the concrete balustrades of Meadowbank, and a small corner garden in full bloom. The warmth increases. At a crossroads in a different garden a dirty white teddybear and a Fisherprice car pressed up against the fence. Crows pick over the white lines of a football pitch that has a single upright remaining of the goalposts. And then the powerstation chimneys over the water, their smoke merging with the clouds. Turn left from Musselburgh, in the direction of a hospital sign, and the streetlights are on, and fields again this time harvested. A young girl running across a patch of burnt grass. Speed up and up with nothing either side before returning to houses and into Tranent with bleached hair teenagers outside a chip shop. Council houses converging on a narrow road. Back to emptiness and unused fields with the sun trying to break through from the direction we came. A sudden flock of birds coming back on themselves in tight circles. Oak trees forming a canopy, a cottage with a blue front door and then a large grain silo standing dark.
The sky still light.

A photograph made during September work week explorations with colleagues in the Big Reed Forest Reserve ... ...early morning paddles, hikes with lots of talk about the past and possible future of this old growth, considering forest succession, tree measures, spending time identifying plants, mushrooms, and critters, discussing the fate of arctic charr endemic to the pond, appreciating the diversity in this beacon of wilderness. ...but also jokes, Jack Daniels, guitars, and of course, my Holga toy camera.
In this informal learning area there is a mixture of seating for either group work or individual study. A large whiteboard acts as a screen between two group working areas. The colour scheme is coordinated in cool fresh tones. Two large plasma screen TVs display up-to-date news and sports information. Full carpeting helps absorb sound.

In the era of Too Much TV, Hollywood's Biggest Night has shifted from The Academy Awards to The Emmy Awards. With over 1500 television shows submitting themselves for awards recognition, the Emmys spread over 3 days to accommodate the multitude of awards, the week between the Creative Arts and Primetime Emmys is one of the most celebratory in Hollywood, with primping and pampering and gifting suites! This was also a big season for gifting for a few reasons, Celebrity Connected, the reigning Best Gifting Suite not participating left the title up for grabs, and Red Carpet Report's first time back to the Old top suite, GBK Productions in years, but have they lost their luster? With a Strong showing from Secret Room Events and Debbie Durkin's Eco Luxe garden party there's some competition for who had the Best Gifting Suite of the TV Awards Season.
Starting with GBK Productions, previously a two day affair, GBK would operate the Friday and Saturday before a major Awards show, down to just Friday now. The email stating press was to park offsite, versus their standard of comping valet, as well as the same email directing attendees to the wrong room at the iconic Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Two Strikes off the bat, with 25 Vendors spread into two rooms on the Mezzanine level with WEN Haircare as the title sponsor and the largest booth, in the center back of the main room, GBK attendees were welcomed by a DJ, and front loading the big ticket vendors like Biotoc Skincare from Korea, Paccioni watches and a week at FitFarm (Only for Nominees). Austere wood frame Sunglasses and Bowties. Several Skincare and Make Up lines as well, drink ware from Simple Modern, premixed cocktails from Vitani, Candles designed to help pets with anxiety from Athenaroma, a new kind of resistance workout from Booty Sprout, placed next to a bamboo toilet paper vendor, Khi. One of the friendliest booths was Just Food For Dogs, human grade dog food, was one of the only LA Local booths. To utilize the gift from FitFam, GBK attendees would need to travel an hour outside Nashville, take a trip to Turks and Ciacos for the Sailrock vacation, Orange County for the menswear vendor or a trip to San Jose to make use of the $250 store credit from Harborside Dispensary. There wasn't much, from GBK's 25 Vendors someone could actually use. Lots of Niche vendors. We left pretty empty handed, and disheartened at how far GBK, once the gold standard of Gifting Suites has fallen so far.
Debbie Durkin's Eco Lux Lounge, at the Garden lawn at the Beverly Hilton felt like stepping into Midsommar with white frocked, flower children with floral laurels in their hair guiding guests around, the restrained 10 vendors. The only suite with a lunch buffet and seating, Debbie's working with tastemaker, Shae Savin added some InstaGlam to the lounge, with a set of feather and flower wings for guests to snap a soulful pic with, while enjoying the September sun. With JillJoanne.com's bags, learning Meal Prep with Flawless Cuisine from Chef Lauren Lawless, some cold therapy from Upgrade Labs, The Elephant Cooperation's #TrunksUp campaign, The Spa Dr, Etana Beauty (who also had a table at GBK), CBD Drink Mixers from Everyday Natural Products, supplements from SoCal Hemp Company, bamboo bedding from Ettitude, and unfortunately due to a shipping mishap, Hope CBD's products weren't delivered until midway through the festivities, but well worth investigating if you're exploring CBD. They're an independent grower, Veteran and Family owned. Hope-CBD.com

That leaves us with The Secret Room, curated by Amy Boatwright, at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City. With 15+ Vendors featuring Neva Nude body art, one of a kind pieces from Desert Daisy Jewelry, Inika Organic Makeup, luxurious lace from Dentelle de Calais-Caudry, and The Original fashion compression sleeves from Sleevey Wonders. Ooh La Lemon handed out dog collars with matching leashes and bowties in very cute themed boxes with a sample of Gangsta Dog gourmet dog biscuits (my puppies couldn't get enough of them). Secret Room also teamed with NoKillLA's Best Friends shelter, and ChildLife Liquid Vitamins and 1More headphones. The HIGH-light of the suite was From The Earth Dispensary setting up a counter sampling and explaining products from Kushy Punch (edibles), Papa and Barkley (topicals) & Kurvana (smokable) as recreational cannabis has become less stigmatized, they were the belle of the ball, and helped crown Secret Room, the Best Gift Suite this Emmys Season.

VersuS: love vs turin, visualizing the realtime lives of cities
www.artisopensource.net/2011/10/16/versus-rome-october-15...
How do people express their emotions on social networks?
Information has become ubiquitously accessible, thus transforming our perception of cities and of the ways we work, learn, communicate and relate to other people.
VersuS analyzes the digital lives of cities to suggest a scenario in which digital and analog realities interweave and become one.
By performing realtime content harvesting on social networks we are able to perform natural language analyses on the conversations running between users, to peek into their emotions, wishes, expectations and desires.
We can make this information available and accessible using information visualizations, mobile applications and generative design artifacts, thus creating the tools which enable the creation of a new form of public space which merges the digital and analog lives of people, transforming them into active agents in a new idea of citizenship, enabling novel forms of expression and representation.
In "love VS turin", we focus on an emotional approach, visualizing the expressions of love and passion of the citizens of the city of Turin, in a realtime collective conversation.
The visualization is put side by side with 3D objects produced using various digital fabrication techniques, and which represent a tangible representation of the emotional condition of the whole territory of the city of Turin.
"Love" can be replaced with other emotions, thus enabling scenarios of focal importance for ecology, public administrations, security, economy and the overall possibility to evaluate the wellness of the people on a certain territory.
VersuS is designed as an evocative tool for people, institutions and organizations, fostering the creation of new, positive, imaginaries for the future of our lives and our relation with the planet and with our fellow human beings.
VersuS is a concept by Art is Open Source and FakePress Publishing, and it is part of the ConnectiCity initiative.
It has been created together with the Fablab Italia and with the Piemonte Share Festival, in a transdisciplinary process in which arts and sciences collaborate to the creation of innovative, breakthrough, scenarios.
VersuS will be officially presented at the 2011 edition of the Piemonte Share Festival together with the Fablab Italia.

View from the flight deck of the Commemorative Air Force Liberator, with a nice view of the Berlin Airlift Foundation C-54.
Port of East London, South Africa.
The Cape Gannet is large bird with black and white plumage and distinctive yellow crown and hindneck. The pale blue bill is pointed with fine serrations near the tip. Its beak has no external nostrils into which the water might be forced, an adaptation for the depth and speed of the gannet's dive when fishing (gannets hit the water at speeds of between 40 and 120 km/h).
The Cape Gannet is very similar to the Northern Gannet, but the latter differs from its entirely white tail and its wings, which are only black at the tip.
The Cape Gannet breeds in southern Africa in three islands off Namibia and three islands off South Africa. The non-breeding range of Cape Gannets extends from the coastal waters off the Gulf of Guinea on the west coast of Africa, to Mozambique on the east coast.
Taken from the Observation deck of the Q1 building, Surfers Paradise, Queensland, August 5, 2014 Australia.
Today we meet up with another person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same week. We had a fantastic day together. First of all we went up to the top of this building.
Q1 (abbreviation of Queensland Number One) is a skyscraper in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold Coast, Queensland. It lost its title as the world's tallest residential tower to the 348 metre building The Marina Torch in Dubai on 29 April 2011. As of May 2012, it is the fifth tallest such building. Q1 is the tallest building in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere when measured to the top of its spire (fourth tallest building behind the Eureka Tower, the Rialto Towers and the Infinity Tower, when measured to roof and highest habitable floor) and the second-tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere, behind the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand. It opened in November 2005.
SkyPoint, formerly known as QDeck, is an observation deck at levels 77 and 78. It is Australia's only beachside observation deck and has room enough for 400 people. It towers 230 metres above the Surfers Paradise beach, giving viewers a 360 degree view of Brisbane to the north, the Gold Coast Hinterland to the west, Byron Bay, New South Wales to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The express elevator to the observation deck travels the 77 floors in 43 seconds.
The landmark building was recognised as one of Queensland's icons during the state's 150th birthday celebrations. Q1 has been identified as a potential terrorism target for the region. For a short time, an apartment in the building, which was bought for A$9 million by a Japanese restaurateur, was the most expensive ever paid for in Queensland.

An official postcard of Alex shortly before the re-modelling of Alexanderplatz, pedestrianisation and removal (until recent restoration) of trams. The Tatra 603 is in a less formal hue. On the right, the famous Berolina house 8-storey with reinforced concrete skeleton , built in 1930-2 according to designs by P. Behrens. Both it, and its twin (Alexanderhaus) opposite somehow managed to survive the Battle for Berlin, albeit damaged and will also surive the current second remodelling of Alexanderplatz - which has already thrown up a building more hideous than anything ever constructed in GDR times. A significant pair of buildings,the only 2 to reach fruition in a bold 1920s plan to remodel Alex.. The Berlin C2 central post office was behind the Tatra. DDR postcard publishers always tried to incorporate a nice car into the picture to give an impression of affluence.
Outside the Alexanderhaus, between 1933 and 1944, when it mysteriously disappeared, stood the 7.5m high bronze sculture of Berolina, the work of the East Prussian Emil Hundrieser (1846-1911). It was erected in 1895,but removed in the mid 20s for U-Bahn work, and because it conveyed messages of Prussian militarism. Public outcry brought it back in 1933 for a further 11 years when it is believed to have been melted down. It stood on a 6m plinth but was rather squeezed between the roundabout and the obtuse angle in the Alexanderhaus.
An interesting 2003 document with history and future plans for Alex is found here, full of photos new and old

Warner Bros Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter
Warner Bros Studio, Aerodrome Way, Leavesden, Watford, Herts, WD25 7LS
A great day out for every fan of the boy wizard.
The Making of Harry Potter studio tour, covering 150,000 square foot, on two soundstages opened on the 31st March 2012, with stars galore at the red carpet launch at the Leavesden Studios where all eight movies were produced.
The home for many film productions, including several James Bond features, before a relatively new production company arrived there to make a film about a young boy who on his 11th birthday discovers he is a wizard.
Over the next ten years, the cast and crew of over 4,000 in total used more and more of the studios as the popularity of the books and films grew. The three young stars lived, grew up, went to school and turned into adults there on those stages.
Your tour begins in the foyer, with a flying Ford Anglia hanging from the ceiling and the walls adorned with huge photos of the cast, along with a few props.
Passing by the set of the cupboard under the stairs, you enter a room with a number of vertical TV screens showing Potter movie posters from around the world, followed by a short video sequence showing the rise of Harry’s popularity, the production teams discovery of the stories and the enormous worldwide success of the books and films.
Moving into the cinema, a short film introduced by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, talking about their experiences growing up on a film set for ten years, with clips from all eight films. The film ends with them standing in front of the main doors to the Great Hall and they walk in through the doors and invite you to follow them.
The screen at this point slowly rises to reveal the actual main doors to the Great Hall, surrounded with stone statues and carvings. What a wizard way to start the tour.
Walking through into the Great Hall we are told that we were now walking on the actual stone floor used in the films and seeing the actual tables where the actors ate their feasts. Dummies down each side of the hall wear the actual costumes used in the films. At the far end of the hall is the teachers’ table area, with more amazing costumes worn by Professors Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Moody, Trelawney and Flitwick, as well as Hagrid and Filch too.
Leaving the Great Hall you enter the first of two vast sound stages. This includes sets for the Gryffindor Common Room and Dormitory, Dumbledore’s Office, Potions Classroom, Hagrid’s Hut, Burrow’s Kitchen and parts of the Ministry of Magic, also Umbridge’s gaudy pink, feline office. Each filled to the brim with props and costumes.
Props can be seen everywhere, with a massive cage in the centre, chock-a-block with goblets, chandeliers, wands and armour. A huge glass case contains the wands of 24 of the major characters – less than 1 percent of the total number of wands made for the films. The ornate doors to a Gringott’s vault and to the Chamber of Secrets are seen after passing a wall dedicated to the paintings produced to decorate the walls of Hogwarts.
Below the giant swinging pendulum of the Hogwarts castle clock there are several huge touch screens containing an interactive Marauders Map.
There are sections of the soundstage dedicated to various movie-making crafts. The hair and makeup section, costumes section, animal department, graphic design and production.
The final section in this first soundstage is dedicated to the Special Effects department with three huge video screens showing all the tricks and techniques, including greenscreen footage and CGI. Props attached to their motion rigs, include the Gringott’s Vault Cart and Mad-Eye Moody’s Recumbent Broomstick.
In separate room you can have a go on a broomstick or drive the Ford Anglia yourself, using the greenscreen technology.
The Backlot about half way round the tour is an open air section between the two soundstages where refreshments are available, including Butterbeer the popular wizarding beverage.
Also featured on the backlot are the Knight Bus, another Ford Anglia, Hagrid’s motorbike/sidecar, the Riddle family tombstone, a section of the rickety wooden Hogwarts Bridge, Potter’s burnt out cottage from Godric’s Hollow and Number 4 Privet Drive.
Entering the second soundstage you pass some of the giant chess pieces from the first movie. A number of video screens here progressively show what it was like to work in the creature shop, cleverly leading you from one screen to the next, past models of Fawkes, a snapping Monster Book of Monsters and a giant animatronic head of Hagrid. The next room has the life size (i.e., ENORMOUS!) model of Aragog the spider and one of three animatronic Buckbeak models.
Walking around the corner (WOW) you are transported into another world entirely. The dark lighting and cobbled street can only mean one thing – you have entered Diagon Alley. The shops using the original sets have been rebuilt– Flourish & Blotts, Eeylops Owl Emporium, Potage’s Cauldron Shop and of course Ollivander’s Wand Shop, each and every one them is crammed full of detail. At the other end of the street is Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, with the bright orange shopfront standing out from the crowd of blackness and featuring a moving model of one of the red-haired twins doffing his hat.
At the end of Diagon Alley you move onto the Art and Design department with walls covered with architectural drawings and detailed plans, accurate down to the millimetre, for many of the props and sets already seen. A draftsman’s table serves as a projection screen for another video about the work of the art department.
Moving on, up the ascending path are walls full of concept paintings and artwork, also intricate cardboard models of Hogsmead and the Hogwarts.
You are only looking at a model of the model though, as entering the next room, there, spread over at least 15 square metres is the most amazing, complex and elaborate model built to a 1:24 scale. It has a bigger footprint than the average house.
The last part of the tour is a fitting tribute to the crew and cast of the most popular film franchise of all time. A much tidier recreation of the interior of Ollivander’s Wand shop, with over 4,000 wand boxes lining its shelves – one for every single person who worked on the films.
Exit through the Gift Shop.

AMC Amitron:
Automotive safety has kind of been a bummer, right? Think of how many incredible looking vehicles we'd have now if it was acceptable to leave safety off the table. Doors could be thinner, seats could be lower, and bumpers would be a thing of the past.
Actually, we probably could do those things now—provided our cars were made from carbon fibre and we all wore HANS devices and five-point harnesses. Hell, why not? If you could drive an electric car that looked this good, seatbelts straight from the Indy 500 might be an acceptable trade-off.
It's not often that designer Richard "Dick" Teague gets proper credit for his work. Most know the last names Shelby, Foose, Earl, Exner…but Teague? He pioneered interchangeable body panels—so that brands could have different styling over top of the same mechanicals.
Spending time drafting airplanes at Northrop Corporation and building hot rods to run on California's dry lake beds gave Teague the unique perspective of both a technical artist and a mechanic. Often, I find that when looking at AMC models I feel like the materials underneath the skin are helping to shape its exterior form.
His career began at General Motors—notably working on the 1950 Oldsmobile Rocket—before moving to Packard in its final days before briefly landing at Chrysler, then American Motors Corporation.
AMC was always the plucky underdog, and often styling was part of the process of saving money. Teague's interchangeable body panels led to big money savings, and his ability to innovate—cab forward interiors, subcompact cars, premium-look small cars, appearance decal packages—are all things we see today. Oh, and the first Jeep Cherokee. Can't forget that.
All of this is a long-winded way of saying: the AMC Amitron is a car guy's electric car.
Small, wide, light, and with the wheels pushed to the corners, the Amitron has the proportions of a classic Mini Cooper…if it was made of brie and squished into a wedge. It weighed just 500 kg (1102 lbs.)—100 kg lighter than an Ariel Atom track car.
It was shorter than a modern smart fortwo and wide enough for three-wide seating, a trick that makes it quite practical. Its inflatable passenger seats were presumably inspired by the Quasar Unipower, and so-designed to save space when not in use.
The Amitron, shown in 1967 and the Electron, repainted red and shown again in 1977, showed other innovative concepts: two stage battery storage and regenerative braking, both firsts. Its combination of two nickel-cadmium batteries (city motoring) and two lithium batteries (used as a boost for highway driving) gave the car great range quoted as 241 km (150 miles) for an average speed of 80 km/h (50 mph.)
Of course, the twin AMC concepts never made production, but apparently the company was confident they'd hit on the right formula. Of course, other nascent, stillborn, and bankrupt car companies have said the same thing.
But that's a story for another day.

In september 1993 I visited the Isle of Man to photograph the working steam trains and trams.
The day I arrived it was the end of a children's special event and I caught this shot of an IOM train leaving Douglas with a face painted on it.
Boys of my era were brought up on the "Thomas the Tank Engine" books and heritage railways get a lot of young visitors to special "Thomas" events so its all good fun and encourages the next generation of heritage enthusiasts. However we hardened steam photographers are usually found in the pub on such days as we dont photograph trains with faces!.
However 16 years on I have just about got over it and its quite a nice photo.
The next day the smokebox had been painted black and the weather was cloudy so I'm glad I pressed the shutter.

Thought leaders for the EV industry talked about the importance of all us little people getting the word out about the EV revolution. Bottom line: Get over range anxiety! Most people don't travel far enough per day to worry about not finding a charging station to charge their battery. That one time a year you go to Tahoe? Rent a hybrid SUV, until the infrastructure gets here (and it will soon...)

The San Francisco Giants inaugurated the San Francisco Giants Wall of Fame, a perpetual tribute to their greatest stars, in September 2008 to celebrate their 50th Anniversary Season in San Francisco. The plaques along this wall recognize Giants players whose records stand highest among their teammates on the basis of longevity and achievements. Those honored have played a minimum of nine seasons for the San Francisco Giants, or five seasons with at least one All-Star selection as a Giant. As of Opening Day 2008, a group of 43 Giants legends qualified for this distinction, forming the charter class of honorees. As present and future generations of Giants players meet the criteria and make their marks in baseball history, plaques celebrating their careers will join this row of Giants immortals upon their retirement.
AT&T Park, located at 24 Willie Mays Plaza in San Francisco's South Beach, has been the home of San Francisco Giants since it was opened by China Basin Ballpark Corp on March 31, 2000. Originally named Pacific Bell Park, then renamed SBC Park in 2003, it was ultimately christened AT&T Park in 2006. Replacing Candlestick Park as the Giants' home, it was Major League Baseball's first privately financed ballpark since 1962.

Goal Scoring Rundown:
USA - Michael Bradley (Graham Zusi), 15th minute: Graham Zusi, on the game's first corner kick, delivered a perfect ball from the left side as Michael Bradley separated himself from Mexico defender Jesus Eduardo Zavala at the far right post.

USA 1, MEX 0 (SEE GOAL)
USA - Chris Wondolowski (Michael Bradley), 28th minute: The USA's sharp passing from midfielders Graham Zusi and Clint Dempsey led to an attack from the right side as Tony Beltran crossed from the right flank.

It was Wondolowski's team-leading third goal of 2014 and the ninth goal of his career. USA 2, MEX 0 (SEE GOAL)
MEX - Rafael Marquez (Marco Fabian), 49th minute: Off of Marco Fabian's right-footed corner kick from the left side, Rafael Marquez lost USA center back Omar Gonzalez on the set piece and had an open header from seven yards out, which he promptly placed into the left side of the net for his 15th career goal for Mexico. USA 2, MEX 1
MEX - Alan Pulido (unassisted), 67th minute: Paul Aguilar had the initial attack, with his shot ricocheting off of the left post. Alan Pulido was the quickest to react, converging for the rebound and equalizer. USA 2, MEX 2 (FINAL)

A view down one of the streets inside the bazaar.
Istanbul, Turkey.
The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest covered markets in the world, with 61 covered streets and over 4,000 shops. The bazaar attracts between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily. In 2014, It is one of the world's most-visited tourist attractions with nearly 100 million annual visitors. The Grand Bazaar of Istanbul is one of the first shopping malls of the world, dating from the mid 1400s.
The following was taken directly from wikipedia and describes the atmosphere of the original bazaar and it's modern equivalent:
"Until the restoration following the quake of 1894, the Grand Bazaar had no shops as found in the western world: along both sides of the roads merchants sat on wooden divans in front of their shelves. Each of them occupied a space 6 to 8 feet in width, and 3 to 4 feet in depth. This was named in Turkish dolap, meaning 'stall'. The most precious merchandise was not on display, but kept in cabinets. Only clothes were hung in long rows, with a picturesque effect. A prospective client could sit in front of the dealer, talk with him and drink a tea or a Turkish coffee, in a relaxed way. At the end of the day, each stall was closed with drapes. Another peculiarity was the complete lack of advertising. Moreover, as everywhere in the East, traders of the same type of goods were forcibly concentrated along one road, which got its name from their profession. The Inner Bedesten hosted the most precious wares: jewelers, armorers, crystal dealers had their shops there. The Sandal Bedesten was mainly the center of the silk trade, but also other goods were on sale there. The most picturesque parts of the market were – apart from the two Bedestens – the shoe market, where thousands of shoes of different colors (Ottoman sumptuary laws prescribed yellow shoes for Muslims, blue for Greek Orthodox, black for Jews and red for Armenians) were on display on high shelves; the spice and herbs market (later concentrated in the Egyptian Bazaar), which stood near the jewelers; the armor and weapon market; the old book market; and the flea market.
This kind of organization disappeared gradually, although nowadays a concentration of the same business along certain roads can be observed again:
Jewellers and gold bracelets along Kalpakçılar Caddesi;
Gold bracelets along Kuyumcular Çarşısı;
Furniture along Divrikli Caddesi;
Carpets along Sahaflar Caddesi;
Leather goods along Perdahçılar Caddesi
Leather and casual clothes at the Bit Pazarı.
Actually, the main reason of concentrating the trade in one place was to provide the highest security against theft, fire and uprising. The goods in the Bedesten were guaranteed against everything except turmoil. Gates were always closed at night, and the bazaar was patrolled by guards paid by the merchants' guilds. In order to access the complex during night hours, an imperial edict was required. The only official night opening in the history of the Bazaar occurred in 1867 during the feast organized for the return of Sultan Abdülaziz from Egypt, when the sovereign crossed the illuminated market riding a horse among the rejoicing populace. Despite the immense wealth present in the Bazaar over the centuries—as an English traveller recorded as late as c. 1870, a tour of the inner Bedesten could easily ruin a few Rothschild families—theft occurred extremely rarely. The most important such incident happened in 1591, when 30,000 gold coins were stolen in the old Bedesten. The theft shocked the whole of Istanbul, the Bazaar remained closed for two weeks and people were tortured, until the money was found hidden under a floor matting. The culprit was a young Persian musk seller. Thanks to the intercession of the Sultan Murad III he was executed by hanging and not by torture.
The ethics of trade in the Market until the Tanzimat age (the mid-19th century) were quite different from the modern ones: indifference to profit, absence of envy in the successes of other traders, and a single and correct price were peculiar traits of the Ottoman bazaar during its golden age. The reason for such behavior lies partly in the ethics of Islam, and partly in the guild system which provided a strong social security net to the merchants. Afterwards, the westernization of the Ottoman society and the influence of the national minorities caused the introduction of mercantile ethics in Ottoman society.
Another peculiarity of the market during the Ottoman age was the total lack of restaurants. The absence of women in the social life and the nomadic conventions in the Turkish society made the concept of restaurant alien. Merchants brought their lunch in a food box called sefertas, and the only food on sale was simple dishes such as doner kebab, tavuk göğsü (a dessert prepared with chicken breast, milk sugar and rose water sprinkled on it) and Turkish coffee. These simple dishes were prepared and served in small two-story kiosks placed in the middle of a road. The most famous among these kiosks is the one—still extant but not functioning any more—placed at the crossing of Halıcılar Caddesi and Acı Çesme Caddesi. It is alleged that Sultan Mahmud II came there often in disguise to eat his pudding. The Bazaar was in the Ottoman Age the place where the people of Istanbul could see each other. Not only was the market the only place in town where the ladies could go relatively easily (and this circumstance made the place especially interesting for the Europeans who visited the city), but it was also the only public place where the average citizen had a chance to meet the members of the Imperial Harem and of the Court.
The Bazaar's merchants were organized in guilds. In order to establish a new one, it was only necessary to have enough traders of the same good. Afterwards, a monopoly was formed and the number of traders and shops was frozen. One could only be accepted in the guild through co-optation, either as son of a deceased member, or after paying a suitable sum to a member who wanted to retire.
Today the Grand Bazaar is a thriving complex, employing 26,000 people and visited by between 250,000 and 400,000 visitors daily, and one of the major landmarks of Istanbul. It must compete with modern shopping malls common in Istanbul, but its beauty and fascination represent a formidable advantage for it. The head of the Grand Bazaar Artisans Association claimed that the complex was in 2011 the most visited monument in the world. A restoration project starting in 2012 to renew its infrastructure, heating and lighting systems. Moreover, the hans inside the Market will be renovated and later additions will be demolished. This project should finally solve the big problems of the market such as the complete lack of proper toilet facilities.
The Grand Bazaar is opened each day except Sundays and bank holidays from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m."

Briarly, Gone but not forgotten
Hello, I am Miss Coco. This nostalgic depiction of Upper Canada at the Montgomery family home is of visual calm. From an African/Caribbean perspective, I symbolically reflect to consider the hidden political climate and story of Black settlement. The family established Montgomery Inn in 1832 to rent to tenant farmers. This mural is ironically close to Burnhamthorpe and Dundas, historically known as “Darky Street”, a discriminatory label about the small Black settlement. This link uncovers the complex social status of Blacks in Ontario, where enslaved Africans fled from the USA using the ‘Underground railroad’ strategy for freedom away from slave catchers. Politically fleeing to an anti-abolitionist and anti-slavery climate within Southern Ontario, Joshua Glover is a story of his own emancipatory arrival to the Etobicoke township in 1852, where only 39 Blacks resided.
Glover gained employment from Thomas Montgomery’s son, William, at the Inn and lived in a small home he rented from them. I make visible Black presence in Etobicoke and an unspoken friendship between Joshua and William. Among the unspoken discrimination against Blacks navigating their social capital, relationships were built within the European settlement. Owning land was impossible, but integration was. Glover married an Irish woman in the 1860s and lived on Montgomery’s land. Among these farmland landscapes are emancipation stories tied to Slave Abolition Act of 1833. Montgomery Inn was a resting place but a gathering space for socializing, dance, and meetings. The Montgomery contribution is artistically commemorated in grace.
Horses of Cheshire
Depending on breed, management and environment, the modern domestic horse has a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years. Uncommonly, a few animals live into their 40s and, occasionally, beyond. The oldest verifiable record was "Old Billy", a 19th-century horse that lived to the age of 62. In modern times, Sugar Puff, who had been listed in Guinness World Records as the world's oldest living pony, died in 2007 at age 56.
Regardless of a horse or pony's actual birth date, for most competition purposes a year is added to its age each January 1 of each year in the Northern Hemisphere and each August 1 in the Southern Hemisphere. The exception is in endurance riding, where the minimum age to compete is based on the animal's actual calendar age.
The following terminology is used to describe horses of various ages:
Colt: a male horse under the age of four. A common terminology error is to call any young horse a "colt", when the term actually only refers to young male horses.
Filly: a female horse under the age of four.
Foal: a horse of either sex less than one year old. A nursing foal is sometimes called a suckling and a foal that has been weaned is called a weanling. Most domesticated foals are weaned at five to seven months of age, although foals can be weaned at four months with no adverse physical effects.
Gelding: a castrated male horse of any age.
Mare: a female horse four years old and older.
Stallion: a non-castrated male horse four years old and older. The term "horse" is sometimes used colloquially to refer specifically to a stallion.
Yearling: a horse of either sex that is between one and two years old.
In horse racing, these definitions may differ: For example, in the British Isles, Thoroughbred horse racing defines colts and fillies as less than five years old. However, Australian Thoroughbred racing defines colts and fillies as less than four years old.
1st day of Autumn time in Little Stanney Cheshire 2014
This is an Autostitch panorama of three Ferrari 360 Modena Berlinettas and a Ferrari 308 GTS Targa on display on Preston Street (Corso Italia) near Gladstone Avenue in Ottawa's Little Italy during the 2008 Ottawa Ferrari Festival held by the Ottawa chapter of the Ferrari Club of America.
This one is a higher angle than most of my Autostitch shots because I took the source photos standing on top of a roughly 5-foot rise separating a small parking lot from Preston Street.
Found a pile of old tires on my way...
