Gracefully Bound offers a beautiful, serene, safe environment for both the Daddy's and their babygirl's/littles...We have created a space for those who enjoy the DD/bg dynamic, unlike any other that we know of in SL. O/our vision is that of a place that feels like home, being both inviting and warm. Respect for A/all at Gracefully Bound is paramount. It is a place for people to come to relax, to learn, to have fun, and of course to connect. We welcome you to O/our vision and hope that you enjoy it as much as W/we have enjoyed building it for you.
Gracefully Bound offers a beautiful environment for both the Daddys and their babygirls/littles... We have a Drive-In for movie nights and slumber parties, a game room with table games, Q&A "naughty" and playful card games, couples games...cuddle areas located in various out of the way nooks to curl up and spend some quality time, a library for those teachable moments that every babygirl loves to share with her Daddy, an out door gazebo for weekly discussions that will be exclusive to those of us who live in this close knit community. Also we know how hard it is to make connections with people so we have created an upper office space for Match Maker ad-boards to allow Daddy's and babygirl's to reach out and find one another. The sim also offers amazing opportunities for both the professional and amateur photographer alike.

Selkent route 672: Hawksmoor School - Woolwich Arsenal Station
Approaching Plumstead Road / Plumstead Station (WM)
School route 672 runs from Hawksmoor School on Bentham Road, near Thamesmead, to Woolwich. It only runs in the afternoon and has a PVR of 3, although I've only been aware of 2 buses in service.
The interesting thing about the 672 is that it exposes the longevity of every other route between Plumstead and Thamesmead. The 177 and 472 run via Abbey Wood (the former) and Crossway; a map view of each route looks as if they are competing for the longest diversion to Thamesmead Town Centre.
Meanwhile, via Eastern Way, where the 380 terminates at Belmarsh Prison, and Central Way, the 672 offers a more direct alternative, albeit only operating towards Woolwich for PM duties. I haven't looked at the South East London Consultation yet, but perhaps this direct routing should be addressed beyond the school service.

Believe it or not, we had the first Dolly Days back in 2014!!! Wow, almost a decade. Offers changed through out the years, for example the first Dolly Days had a Grab Bag offer where you would get a gift and a random doll from ITBE collection. Dolly Days last five days and each day we get an email from IT with an announcement or a doll related offer. This year the timing changed, from Christmas time to ... well, post-Christmas time :) but, fortunately offers were top-notch.
Arctic Moon Coralynn "Cora" Kwan - is the first doll from East 59th collection designed by Chris Stoeckel (a couturier of dolly world, as I like to call him), and the only lottery doll, three remaining dolls are offered through official dealers. My first impression was WOW she is breathtaking. I have a soft spot for pastels and of-course I just love elaborate fashions Chris offers to us. Underneath tones of "fur" there is a delicate see-through top adorned with crystals and a floor length mermaid skirt. Amazing details all over her, but what I am not sure about is her face. Namely, this is a new character and IT claims this is a new sculpt too. However, she reminds me on Kyori 1.0 and allegedly her sculpt (and the one from Maeve character) belongs to old play line IT used to produce. I can not lie, I am not impressed by that, old sculpts used to have less details, especially around nose area and that is a buzz killer for me. Why not use more elaborate sculpts that are unused, like: Ayumi 2.0, Monogram 1.0, Monogram 2.0...?!? Still, I do like her hair a lot, and her screening is interesting, yes, a bit cartoonish, but interesting. I am happy to see Asian character added to this line, hope her next incarnations will be inspired by traditional fashions. I have decided to pass the lottery and wait and see how she looks.
Pressed Perfection Evelyn Weaverton - this is my favorite character from the line and I am happy to see her again. I have four Evelyns so far and this one will not join my collection. The reason is her screening, I have All Aboard on the 5th, with the same screening, and I had to do a lot of alterations on her eyes to keep her in my collection. Her right eye is completely wonky and I am surprised that collectors do not seem to be bother by that, and Chris either, although I am sure it is impossible to change screening stencils when they are produced. This is such a shame as I love her outfit and her makeup color palette. Yes, I am a bit baffled with her muff and fur hat, as I do not see winter elements on her dress, jacket and open-toe shoes. If I did decide to get her and Cora, I am sure Cora would get fur accessories to complete her look. Have to add that I LOVE her earrings and bracelet. It seems she is less popular than other girls, as she is available at most dealers. I guess if she had an additional garment, she would sell out. Cora comes with a fur coat, Maeve with pants and skirt and Della has three-part outfit, so Ev just needs something extra.
Pink Mist Maeve Rocha - another new character! And she is a Brazilian model. She does look quite beautiful. Since her screening is kind of soft and she has old sculpt renewed, I decided to pass, but now I have to admit I regret that decision. Combination of Sunkissed skintone, sky blue eyes, black hair, and red lips is one of my favorite combinations. Her outfit is perfection, just love that white jacket
and that collar adorned with small rubies. I just hate capri pants, but I do like this ones, probably because of the embroidery. Hair accessories and that detail on the jacket at the waist show how Chris is devoted to details. Love it! I wish her hairstyle is different though, as I do not like when a doll doesn't have parted hair, it just limits redressing and playability.
Frosted Passion Della Roux - passed out! What a stunner!!! She was a no-brainer for me and I am glad I reacted on time as she is sold out everywhere. I hope her outfit will fit FR2, as she will be rebodied right away. Notice that her top can be worn as a dress, than you get a skirt and on top of that you get that delicious fur cover. Muff and fur hat are there just to make you swoon. As I love nice jewelry, I am happy to see color-variant of cream pearl necklace we got with the last Monogram doll. Each doll comes with a makeup accessories and Della comes with a red lipstick. What a beautiful doll, I am very excited to get her.
My Hair Fair Zuri Okoty - that is all for East 59th, now Meteor! As we didn't get any dolls from this line at the convention, I am happy to see one here (as we got two dolls on the last day of the Dolly Days, I can not but wonder if this one was meant for convention, but was postponed). I love her D&G inspired dress and those amazing shoes. I also like her face, but eyebrows screening is just not my thing. Since she has flocked hair, she needs fierce eyebrows - think of Muse Adele. But, I like her lips and turquoise eyeshadow. This Zuri comes with additional two-toned blonde wig and you can upgrade this doll with two sets of three wigs per set at $75 per each set of wigs. Since I already have 20' inspired Zuri on preorder, I will have to pass this one.
Glamour Coated Elyse Jolie - is a lottery doll with 1,500 pieces edition size and $180 price point. Expensive, right, I would say too expensive. Yes, I know, epidemic, everything is getting more expensive, but I just do not see the value here for $180. Anyway, I do like her eccentric outfit, and no, I do not see any connection with Maison FR collection which she belongs to. Her face looks boring in a way that we already had several similar Elyses, why not blonde with cream skintone, pale mint eyeshadow and dark violet lips... Still, I do like her hairstyle and shoes. I have entered the lottery, but I will not be hurt if I do not win.
Desert Dazzler Poppy Parker - is a third doll in Palm Springs collection. Although I do not collect Poppy, I have included this doll in review out of respect to David Buttry, the designer, because he simply can not make a mistake. Lovely Poppy, she looks fresh with this screening used so many times, but with Sunkissed skintone. She looks young, on trend and as I said fresh. her outfit is also nice, if wonder if pants would fit NuFace body... Her earrings and bag are beautiful. What I would change here is the color of the fur coat, but I am not sure to which color :)
Wow, lovely offers! I can honestly say I enjoyed it more than convention, I hope IT continues this lovely tradition. Chris did an amazing job with this East 59th collection, he has been my favorite designer for quite some time and I am glad his efforts are being finally recognized by dolly community. I am starting to notice Meteor offers, I am not sure if that means they are more to my taste or if the offer is better. David is doing great with Poppy, but I wish Jessy does something different with FR. Although I like this Elyse, I have a feeling she could have been even better.
Disclaimer: As I do not collect hommes I left out an offer from Monarch collection .
Wrapping up my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a visit to Amerind Foundation and Texas Canyon. This is stage 9 of 9.
This is a view from the trail looking basically southeast across the valley. The clouds are starting to get ominous. It did rain.

Texas Canyon is a striking natural area located in Cochise County, southeastern Arizona, along Interstate 10 between Benson and Willcox. It is renowned for its dramatic landscape, characterized by massive granite boulders scattered across the desert terrain, creating a rugged and picturesque environment.
The granite boulders in Texas Canyon were formed through millions of years of erosion and weathering. These formations, often precariously balanced, provide a unique and photogenic sight, making the canyon a popular stop for travelers and photographers.
The area is surrounded by the Chiricahua Mountains to the south and other nearby ranges, offering expansive views of the Sonoran Desert with its mix of desert vegetation, including cacti and mesquite trees. The light, especially at sunrise and sunset, enhances the golden hues of the rocks, adding to the area's charm.
Texas Canyon has a rich history tied to the Chiricahua Apache people, who once roamed these lands. Later, it became home to early settlers.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Canyon
Texas Canyon is a valley in Cochise County, Arizona,[1] about 20 miles east of Benson on Interstate 10. Lying between the Little Dragoon Mountains to the north and the Dragoon Mountains to the south and known for its giant granite boulders, the canyon attracts rockhounds and photographers.
www.arizonahighways.com/article/texas-canyon-nature-preserve
The giant granite boulders along Interstate 10 in Southeastern Arizona have been gracing postcards for decades, but that otherworldly landscape was always off-limits to the general public. Not anymore. Thanks to the Amerind Foundation, 6 miles of trails in the brand-new Texas Canyon Nature Preserve are now available to those who want a closer look.
By Suzanne Wright
Zipping past Texas Canyon, an hour southeast of Tucson, it's impossible not to notice the boulders - giant, eye-catching piles of granite, like something out of The Flintstones. But other than providing scenery along Interstate 10 - particularly at a rest area just down the highway from the kitschy attraction known as The Thing - the area has long been off-limits to curious travelers who wanted to stretch their legs and get a closer look.
There are several private landowners in Texas Canyon, including Triangle T Guest Ranch, which has some trails for its guests. But none had opened its trails to the public until this past October, when the portion of the area owned and managed by the Amerind Foundation had its ribbon-cutting. After a multi-year campaign that raised $250,000, the Texas Canyon Nature Preserve - on land previously closed to the public for 85 years, and where the organization's founding family raised quarter horses until 1968 - is open to all.
The idea had been percolating with the Amerind Foundation board and management for years, says Eric Kaldahl, the president, CEO and chief curator of the foundation. The response from the surrounding community has been very enthusiastic. We welcomed more visitors last October than we've seen for the past 10 years.
The preserve, located just off I-10 between Benson and Willcox, is part of a 1,900-acre campus that includes the Amerind Museum. More than 6 miles of trails wind past balanced rocks, fantastical shapes and rocky spires in open, sun-warmed high-desert grasslands studded with cactuses, wildflowers and trees. The trail is self-guided, although Kaldahl hopes to offer guided sunrise and sunset hikes in the next year. Visitors can pay a $12 admission fee for just the trails or $20 to visit both the trails and the museum.
Trail designer Sirena Rana knows the landscape can look intimidating, but she purposely designed the trails to be perfect little morsels. Rana didn't grow up hiking, so she aimed to make the trails a comfortable experience for all ages and abilities. There are no steep elevation gains, and dirt, rather than gravel, makes for more stability. And Rana recalls walking for miles and miles over several months to understand the land and ensure the trails were constructed to shed water, limit erosion and provide firebreaks.
Texas Canyon is one of the most unique landscapes in the Southwest, formed by millions of years of wind and rain weathering the granite, she says, likening it to Joshua Tree National Park and the Wilderness of Rock on Mount Lemmon. It's very unusual that it's right off a major interstate and just an hour from a major metropolitan area, she adds. This is one of the greatest outdoor sculpture gardens in the world designed by Mother Nature. I'm so pleased with how it turned out.
Elsewhere along the trail, signage reflects the Amerind Museum's mission of fostering knowledge and understanding of Indigenous peoples. Acknowledging that these are ancestral lands, the signs feature O'odham, English and Spanish text, in that order â and Kaldahl hopes to add Apache, too.
Additionally, Indigenous people have collected basket-weaving materials from these lands for generations, and they remain free to access the grounds.
Haiku Thoughts:
Stone giants whisper,
Texas Canyon's quiet grace,
Time's hand carves the sky.
Southern Arizona Adventure 2024
Central Oregon offers up a better look at Oregon's past than most other parts of the state, partly because the dry climate preserves wooden structures far better than it does over here on the other side of the Cascades.
This is my favorite abandoned gas station in the area, which is located in Sherman County. This is not a great look at the station, which features a set of beautiful old analogue pumps. But with the brightest part of the Milky Way heading further and further west as the months progress, I had to stick with this and similar comps to fit everything in the frame.
Probably should have gone for a pano ... but the pack of coyotes that was circling me loudly at the time I was shooting kind of put me on the road to a different spot a bit earlier than I had planned. I hope you enjoy it all the same.
Thanks for viewing!
Call me Snake offers an optimistic provocation – ‘imagine what could be here’ by Judy Millar. On a walk into the city October 3, 2015 Christchurch New Zealand.
The work is comprised of vibrant graphics of Millar’s looped paintings, which are adhered to five intersecting flat planes, and draws inspiration from the forms found in pop-up books. The colourful piece will add a dramatic and rhythmic counterpoint to the city’s current urban landscape — a mix of flattened sites, construction zones and defiant buildings that have stood through the quakes. The work employs theatricality, playfulness and visual trickery, whereby the viewer is unsure about the work’s flatness or three-dimensionality; and it has been designed to offer a different perspective from each angle. The bright colours interrupt the grey of the work’s surrounds, and as buildings pop up around it,
SCAPE 8, New Intimacies curated by Rob Garrett was a contemporary art event which mixed new artworks with existing legacy pieces, an education programme, and a public programme of events. The SCAPE 8 artworks were located around central Christchurch and linked via a public art walkway. All aspects of SCAPE 8 were free-to-view.
The title for the 2015 Biennial – New Intimacies – came from the idea that visually striking and emotionally engaging public art works can create new connections between people and places. Under the main theme of New Intimacies there are three other themes that artists responded to: Sight-Lines, Inner Depths and Shared Strengths.

This nature reserve offers a haven for wildlife on the edge of the city, but is a great place for people too with a new RSPB visitor centre, a café, shop and children's play area.
Cetti's warblers and bearded tits can be seen and heard in the reedbeds, and ducks, geese and swans visit the reserve in large numbers during the winter. You'll enjoy spectacular views of the Severn estuary all year round.
Newport Wetlands is a partnership between Natural Resources Wales, Newport City Council and the RSPB.
Opening times
Open every day (closed Christmas Day), 9 am to 5 pm (Coffee Shop open 10 am to 4 pm). On Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the centre will be open from 10 am to 4 pm and the coffee shop will be open 10 am to 3.30 pm. Please note that the carpark also closes at 5:30pm.

If you are new to birdwatching...
Autumn/winter is the best time of year for birdwatching at Newport Wetlands when migratory wildfowl and wading birds begin to arrive ready for their winter stay.
Information for families
Newport Wetlands visitor centre is ideal for children and families. Guided walks and children's activities are available on the reserve, drinks and a bite to eat can be enjoyed in the coffee shop afterwards, followed by a browse in the retail area. Children will find the outdoor children's activity area with its 4 m high simulation of the East Usk Lighthouse very entertaining. We can offer a variety of fun environmental activity and exploration days for a wide range of local interest groups.
Information for dog owners
Some access for dogs - marked footpaths on perimeter of reserve. For more information, please contact the NRW enquiry line.
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Bearded tit
You will often hear bearded tits before you see them. Listen for their bell-like 'pinging' calls, then watch them whizzing across the tops of the reeds. They perch up on the stems in calm weather and feed on fallen seeds on the mud at the base of the reeds.
Dunlin
Dunlins can be seen at Newport Wetlands at almost any time. They breed further north, including in the Arctic, but migrating birds pass through in spring and autumn and some also spend winter here. Watch for them probing their beaks into the mud as they feed.
Little egret
These dainty little white herons can be seen throughout the year at Newport. You can see them fishing, stirring up fish fry from the muddy bottom with their feet.
Little grebe
Listen for little grebes 'whinnying' in spring as part of their courtship displays. They are small, round birds, and remarkably buoyant despite their fluffy feathers.
Shoveler
Shovelers are commonest here in winter, but are also a regular breeding bird. Watch them using their beaks like sieves to sift out microscopic aquatic life from the water.
Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Spring is the start of the breeding season and is an active and exciting time of year at Newport Wetlands, as birds set about finding their mates and building nests. Breeding waders at the reserve include lapwings and oystercatchers. Bearded tits begin to nest in the reedbeds. During late April and early May, swallows and swifts begin arriving from Africa, and can be seen flying overhead. This is a great time of year to listen out for the distinctive call of the cuckoo and many plants, including orchids, will begin to burst into colourful flower.
Summer
Grass snakes can sometimes be seen soaking up the sun or skimming expertly through the water among the reeds. Around sixteen species of dragonflies, twenty-three species of butterfly and two hundred species of moth are found at Newport Wetlands. After dark is the best time for moth spotting, but visitors are likely to see species like cinnabar moths and scarlet tiger moths during the daytime. The reserve is also home to badgers, moles and wood mice. Otters live here too, but are notoriously shy of humans and can be difficult to spot. Their droppings, or ‘spraint’, are the most commonly spotted clue to their presence.
Autumn
In autumn, the reeds turn from a vibrant lush green to yellowing brown. Groups of goldfinches can be seen flitting around the reserve and are particularly visible along Perry Lane, using their long beaks to extract seeds from the teasels. Autumn is another extremely active season at Newport Wetlands, as migratory wildfowl and wading birds begin to arrive ready for their winter stay. Curlews, redshanks, dunlins and oystercatchers feed on the estuary at low tide using their long, pointy beaks to sift through the nutritious mud for worms and grubs.
Winter
The starling roost at the reserve is a not-to-be-missed wildlife experience. From October onwards, large groups of starlings gather at dusk in great black clouds. At its peak, around 50,000 birds swoop and soar overhead, chattering noisily. After a breathtaking display, the birds drop dramatically into the reedbeds where they settle for the night. Another winter treat at Newport Wetlands is a single bittern, which has been seen here most winters since 2001. Bitterns are rare and extremely secretive, moving silently through the reeds looking for fish. Parts of the reserve provide a winter home for nationally important numbers of black-tailed godwits, shovelers and dunlins.

Winter offers photographers challenges - one must rely on form and light rather the vivid colors. Here, about 150mm, f/11, 800, -1/3 stop. Winter transforms the radiant colors of an oriental Spring garden into permutations of brown.
Day progresses with all idiosyncrasies of a mildly disfunctional family. At 2:00 our son gave us a personal piano concert including "Maybe" by Yiruma www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF9w_iERKMA. Honestly I can tell the difference between recording and son's playing. Music soothes the soul. A talk from Tres Dias (De Colores) on "Ideals" followed.
With son on the bus to Incheon and flight to San Francisco, a theraputic clicking of camera shutter was in order.
The light in the resulting shot bring to mind the Jays of Clay" praise song "I Need You", at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LkBMOGrqvY . Check out the link - you get a double blessing: uptempo music and a look into Cambodia.
By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble. Proverbs 3: 19-23

On the airplane, Floyd had watched as a father, about his age, jerked on his child’s arm to keep her quiet. You could tell it was her first time on an airplane, and it wasn’t an experience she enjoyed. Despite that, her parental figure offered no comfort. Just the stern, hard, beratement of a parent on the edge. It disturbed him to see, and the fact that it disturbed him made him maybe even more uneasy than the sight itself.
Once landed, the man dragged his daughter bodily, kicking and screaming through the terminal. Floyd shouldered his bag, grimaced, and made himself forget the sight. Instead, he shouldered his bag and trudged to the pickup zone where, just barely, he managed to hail a cab.
It was rare times like this when he was glad he wasn’t dead.
The cab pulled up to Vern Reed road, and Floyd had him stop there. His subconscious paranoia forbidding him from letting the cab driver see where he was really going. He payed the man, and watch him recede and disappear into the urban prairie. He took in the heavy, November air and started to walk. From the shadows of a nearby alley, beady eyes watched him. He wasn’t fool enough to believe that at least a few of the locals didn’t hold animosity towards him, not after what he did those three fateful years ago, but at this point, there was too few of them for it to matter. They knew who he was. They knew their place.
Finally, Floyd reach it: Schwartz Court. He was almost to the door when he realized he hadn’t lit a single cigarette the entire day.
Before he could have another thought, the door was slammed open, and an eleven year old girl was hugging him around the waist fiercely, shouting in joy, nearly hopping up and down.
“Hey Kiddo,” he said, “Surprise!”
In the doorway leaned Michelle Torres, her mother, arms crossed, smiling warmly. She called him ‘Killer’ as he approached, the girl’s hand in his, and kissed him on the cheek. He smiled as best he could, and begged her not to call him that. No promises, she told him, and led them both inside and up the elevator.
Floyd Lawton would never consider himself a family man. After shooting his mother in the back in return for what she had done to him, family was barely a word Floyd was used to. The idea of family ran him cold, and dropped him back into that same emotional stasis tank that he remained in almost exclusively. However, there was a warmth that filled him every time he walked through that door. A dull glow that maybe he didn’t notice himself, but Michelle picked up on every time he was around her.
He glowed even brighter around Zoe.
Proudly, she sat at the kitchen table, showing her father her drawings; her unintentionally impressionistic renderings of Supergirl, Wonder Woman, and what looked to Floyd like Aquaman in Power Girl’s boots. He beamed pouring over every shoddy line, and told her that she was a damn fine artist. He balked however, when she asked him to draw Batman, chanting the caped crusader’s name continuously, prompting dark laughter from Michelle, and nervous sweating from Floyd. Roughly, untrained, Floyd heaved a crayon between his fingers and began to hew away at the paper. The result was a primitive, blocky swath of shapes that, from the right angle, almost looked like the cape and cowl of The Bat.
Zoe narrowed her eyes at the drawing, and a look of intense concentration came over her face, until finally she declared to her father that Batman looked dead. He’s not dead, he told her, but maybe Robin accidentally smacked him with the Batmobile.
Everything was going almost unsettlingly well. After his brush with Psimon, Floyd would be lying if he said he wasn’t just a little suspicious that maybe, just maybe, none of this was even real. The thought, however, of this entire scenario being fantasy, drove him to a place that was darker than even he was used to, and with some effort, he pushed it from his mind. They were halfway through dinner when Zoe declared she wanted to be just like her dad when she grew up, and all the color drained from Floyd’s face. Before Michelle could say anything, before Floyd could stop himself, he gently laid his hand on hers and told her that was sweet and all, but Kiddo, his job’s not all that great, and he’s not around nearly enough, and she was gonna go to school, and get a damn fine job that put what he did to shame.
When she asked him what he *did* do, he took a deep breath, and told her he was a cleaner.
After dinner, Michelle sent Zoe up to brush her teeth and get ready for bed. Floyd sat at the table, nursing a whiskey, and staring intently at the drawing of Batman. I think you’ve got a career ahead of you, Michelle told him. Floyd smiled softly, said art was never his calling, and pushed the drawing away. He asked her if she was doing alright, his hand resting on her cheek. There was darkness under her eyes, but she told him she was doing just fine. That she missed him sometimes, But she was glad he wasn’t around all the time, even if Zoe maybe would do better with a father.
He told her he understood though. He brought danger and destruction everywhere he went. The first time he had visited the Triangle, had learned of his daughter’s existence, he left a long and bloody trail in his wake. It was to assure their safety, but it was done in the most brutal way possible. The only way Floyd knew.
Despite that, they were happy to see each other, and as evidenced, Zoe was absolutely thrilled.
He asked her if anything had come up lately. If anyone had been trying to shake down the neighborhood, or threatened her or anyone in the building. At that, a spark lit up in Michelle’s eyes as she told him sternly, oh no, you’re not shooting your way though anymore problems. Not here, Lawton, not in this town. Please, if not for her, then for Zoe.
It was then, as if on cue, that there was a knock on the door. Floyd volunteered to get it, and made his way to the door. On the way, he stopped by the hallway’s chest of drawers, and withdrew a pistol he had hidden, taped to the bottom of the cabinet. Slowly, he creaked open the door just enough to see the three ill-dressed young men outside. He recognized their beady eyes, and the shiftiness in their posture. He recognized the colors on their arms. They wanted to talk to him. They wanted in. They wanted to deliver a message. Floyd shut the door, slipped the gun into the back of his pants, declared to Michelle that he was stepping out for a moment. If she had any protest, any consternation for what she knew was about to happen, she kept it back, and just told him to be back in time to tuck Zoe in.
He stepped out, and told them quietly what they were doing was suicide. That no matter the outcome, they would not survive. That this was sacrilege, to follow him to where his child and her mother lived. They sneered and leered, and told him they were taking their turf back. And no old man with a pedo-stache was going to stop them. His time was over, it was time for the gangs to take Star City’s Triangle back for themselves.
Floyd sighed, and offered them an out. He bade them follow him, and was mildly surprised when they did. He led them out on the street and asked if they were armed. In response, they each withdrew a pistol. Alright, Floyd said, let’s make a deal. He flipped open the near-antique six-shooter and dropped all the bullets out of it, save for the one in the chamber.
Here’s the deal, he said, leading them through one of the dingy side streets to a warehouse a few blocks away. You ever see Westerns? Well this is a shootout. You all get one clip’s worth of bullets to kill me, and I get one whole bullet to kill all three of you. You win, Triangle’s yours. I win, you’re dead, and I’ll make sure your posse knows it. Deal?
The three young men all smiled maliciously, agreed, and instantly withdrew their pistols, firing with wild abandon into the night air. Floyd grimaced, or was it a smile, and whipped behind some crates. Feeling the impact of the bullets on the wood, and gauging his surroundings. Finally, he saw it. With the crates being torn to pieces behind him, Deadshot whipped his arm out in one smooth, whip-like motion, and with a crack of thunder, fired at an overhanging steel lamp. The bullet pinged off the lamp and ricocheted back down to collide with an iron crossbeam, erect and rusting, and sending the bullet tearing through all three young men’s necks. Deadshot shook the ringing of gunfire out of his ears, returned the smoking gun to the back of his pants, and stepped out into the inky black night.
On his way back, he found the bullets he had dropped scattered on the ground. The metallic detritus of so many bloodsheds. He scooped them all up and dropped them into his pocket, jingling them around like change. In the distance, on the other side of the otherwise almost empty street, and older man in a long blue coat tugged viciously on the arm of a young girl in a pale pink dress, dragging her along behind him. Floyd grimaced, rolled the bullets around in his fingers, then went home to tuck in his daughter.

Since a few weeks those sadhus are staying at Darabhanga Ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
The building of this ghat is a palace which was made by the king of Darabhanga from the Indian state of Bihar, it is now being restored into a luxurious hotel.
Beneath its wall several paintings showing a few gods and saints are preventing people to use this place as a bathroom and allowed this ghat to become clean again.
There is a kind of irony to see those men living there now...

Google offers a variety of translations of the French word Joie, among them joy, delight, gladness, sunshine and festivity. All of which I definitely want to feature heavily in my 2016 and my photo a day project this year. So this reflection seems particularly apt and just right for my annual 'cover shot'.
(NB - I can claim credit for neither the idea of reflecting 2016 into the word joie, nor the idea of using a spoon as a mirror. I enjoyed putting the two concepts together though)
French postcard by Edition P.I., offered by Les Carbones Korès, no. 353. Photo: Warner Bros, 1953. Errol Flynn in Adventures of Don Juan (Vincent Sherman, 1948).
Australian-born actor Errol Flynn (1909-1959) achieved fame in Hollywood with his suave, debonair, devil-may-care attitude. He was known for his romantic Swashbuckler roles in films like Captain Blood (1935) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), often co-starring Olivia de Havilland. In 1942, the tall, athletic and exceptionally handsome, Flynn became an American citizen. He developed a reputation for womanising, hard-drinking, and for a time in the 1940s, narcotics abuse. He was linked romantically with Lupe Vélez, Marlene Dietrich, and Dolores del Río, among many others.
Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn was born in a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, in 1909. His father, Theodore, was a lecturer and later professor of biology at the University of Tasmania. His mother was Lily Mary Young. After early schooling in Hobart, from 1923 to 1925 Flynn was educated at the South West London College, a private boarding school in Barnes, London, and in 1926 returned to Australia to attend Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore School) where he was the classmate of a future Australian prime minister, John Gorton. His formal education ended with his expulsion from Shore for theft. After being dismissed from a job as a junior clerk with a Sydney shipping company for pilfering petty cash, he went to Papua New Guinea at the age of eighteen, seeking his fortune in tobacco planting and metals mining. He spent the next five years oscillating between the New Guinea frontier territory and Sydney. In early 1933, Flynn appeared as an amateur actor in the low-budget Australian film In the Wake of the Bounty (Charles Chauvel, 1933), in the lead role of Fletcher Christian. Later that year he returned to Britain to pursue a career in acting and soon secured a job with the Northampton Repertory Company at the town's Royal Theatre, where he worked and received his training as a professional actor for seven months. In 1934 Flynn was dismissed from Northampton Rep. reportedly after he threw a female stage manager down a stairwell. He returned to Warner Brothers' Teddington Studios in Middlesex where he had worked as an extra in the film I Adore You (George King, 1933) before going to Northampton. With his newfound acting skills, he was cast as the lead in Murder at Monte Carlo (Ralph Ince, 1935), now considered a lost film. During its filming, he was spotted by a talent scout for Warner Bros. and Flynn emigrated to the U.S. as a contract actor.
In Hollywood, Errol Flynn was first cast in two insignificant films, but then he got his great chance. He could replace Robert Donat in the title role of Captain Blood (Michael Curtiz, 1935). Flynn's natural athletic talent and good looks rocketed him overnight to international stardom. Over the next six years, he was typecast as a dashing adventurer in The Charge of the Light Brigade (Michael Curtiz, 1936), The Prince and the Pauper (William Keighley, 1937), The Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtiz, William Keighley, 1938; his first Technicolor film), The Dawn Patrol (Edmund Goulding, 1938) with David Niven, Dodge City (Michael Curtiz, 1939), The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (Michael Curtiz, 1939) and The Sea Hawk (Michael Curtiz, 1940). His striking good looks and screen charisma won him millions of fans. Flynn played an integral role in the re-invention of the action-adventure genre. In collaboration with Hollywood's best fight arrangers, Flynn became noted for fast-paced sword fights. He demonstrated an acting range beyond action-adventure roles in light, contemporary social comedies, such as The Perfect Specimen (Michael Curtiz, 1937) and Four's a Crowd (Michael Curtiz, 1938), and melodrama The Sisters (Anatole Litvak, 1938). During this period Flynn published his first book, 'Beam Ends' (1937), an autobiographical account of his sailing experiences around Australia as a youth. He also travelled to Spain, in 1937, as a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War. Flynn co-starred with Olivia de Havilland a total of eight times, and together they made the most successful on-screen romantic partnership in Hollywood in the late 1930s-early 1940s in eight films. Flynn's relationship with Bette Davis, his co-star in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (Michael Curtiz, 1939), was quarrelsome. Davis allegedly slapped him across the face far harder than necessary during one scene.
In 1940, at the zenith of his career, Erroll Flynn was voted the fourth most popular star in the US. Flynn became a naturalised American citizen in 1942. As the United States had by then entered the Second World War, he attempted to enlist in the armed services but failed the physical exam due to multiple heart problems and other diseases. This created an image problem for both Flynn, the supposed paragon of male physical prowess, and for Warner Brothers, which continued to cast him in athletic roles, including such patriotic productions as Dive Bomber (Michael Curtiz, 1941), Desperate Journey (Raoul Walsh, 1942) and Objective, Burma! (Raoul Walsh, 1945). His womanizing lifestyle caught up with him in 1942 when two underage girls, Betty Hansen and Peggy Satterlee, accused him of statutory rape at the Bel Air home of Flynn's friend Frederick McEvoy, and onboard Flynn's yacht, respectively. The scandal received immense press attention. Many of Flynn's fans, assuming that his screen persona was a reflection of his actual personality, refused to accept that the charges were true. Flynn was acquitted, but the trial's widespread coverage and lurid overtones permanently damaged his carefully cultivated screen image as an idealised romantic leading player. In 1946, Flynn published an adventure novel, 'Showdown', and earned a reported $184,000. In 1947 he signed a 15-year contract with Warner Bros. for $225,000 per film. After the Second World War, the taste of the American film-going audience changed from European-themed material and the English history-based escapist epics in which Flynn excelled to more gritty, urban realism and film noir, reflecting modern American life. Flynn tried unsuccessfully to make the transition in Uncertain Glory (Raoul Walsh, 1944) with Paul Lukas and Cry Wolf (Peter Godfrey, 1947) with Barbara Stanwyck, and then increasingly passé Westerns such as Silver River (Raoul Walsh, 1948) and Montana (Ray Enright, 1950). Flynn's behaviour became increasingly disruptive during filming; he was released from his contract in 1950 by Jack L. Warner as part of a stable-clearing of 1930s glamour-generation stars. His Hollywood career over at the age of 41, Flynn entered a steep financial and physical decline.
In the 1950s, Errol Flynn became a parody of himself. He lost his savings from the Hollywood years in a series of financial disasters, including The Story of William Tell (Jack Cardiff, 1954) with Waltraut Haas. Aimlessly he sailed around the Western Mediterranean aboard his yacht Zaca. Heavy alcohol abuse left him prematurely aged and overweight. He staved off financial ruin with roles in forgettable productions such as Hello God (William Marshall, 1951), Il maestro di Don Giovanni/Crossed Swords (Milton Krims, 1954) opposite Gina Lollobrigida and King's Rhapsody (Herbert Wilcox, 1955) with Anna Neagle. He performed in such also-ran Hollywood films as Mara Maru (Gordon Douglas, 1952) and Istanbul (Joseph Pevney, 1957) with Cornell Borchers, and made occasional television appearances. As early as 1952 he had been seriously ill with hepatitis resulting in liver damage. In 1956 he presented and sometimes performed in the television anthology series The Errol Flynn Theatre which was filmed in Britain. He enjoyed a brief revival of popularity with The Sun Also Rises (Henry King, 1957); The Big Boodle (Richard Wilson, 1957), filmed in Cuba; Too Much, Too Soon (Art Napoleon, 1958); and The Roots of Heaven (John Huston, 1958) with Juliette Gréco. In these films, he played drunks and washed-out bums and brought a poignancy to his performances that had not been there during his glamorous heydays. He met with Stanley Kubrick to discuss a role in Lolita, but nothing came of it. Flynn went to Cuba in late 1958 to film the self-produced B film Cuban Rebel Girls (Barry Mahon, 1959), where he met Fidel Castro and was initially an enthusiastic supporter of the Cuban Revolution. He wrote a series of newspaper and magazine articles for the New York Journal American and other publications documenting his time in Cuba with Castro. Many of these pieces were lost until 2009 when they were rediscovered in a collection at the University of Texas at Austin's Center for American History. He narrated a short film titled Cuban Story: The Truth About Fidel Castro Revolution (1959), his last known work as an actor. He published his autobiography, My Wicked Wicked Ways. In 1959, Errol Flynn died of a heart attack in Vancouver, Canada. Flynn was married three times. His first wife was actress Lili Damita (1935-1942). They had one son, actor and war correspondent Sean Flynn (1941-1971). Sean and his colleague Dana Stone disappeared in Cambodia in 1970, during the Vietnam War, while both were working as freelance photojournalists for Time magazine. It is generally assumed that they were killed by Khmer Rouge guerrillas. Errol was married a second time to Nora Eddington from 1943 to 1949. They had two daughters, Deirdre (1945) and Rory (1947). His third wife was actress Patrice Wymore from 1950 until his death. They had one daughter, Arnella Roma (1953–1998). In 1980, author Charles Higham published a controversial biography, 'Errol Flynn: The Untold Story', in which he alleged that Flynn was a fascist sympathiser who spied for the Nazis before and during the Second World War and that he was bisexual and had multiple gay affairs. Later Flynn biographers were critical of Higham's allegations and found no evidence to corroborate them.

Aston Martin Residences offer breathtaking views of the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, and Brickell skyline. Additionally, Aston Martin Residences will be within walking distance of Whole Foods, Brickell City Centre, and Mary Brickell Village.
Aston Martin’s design team will design the building’s interior common spaces including the two private lobbies, the two-level fitness center with ocean views, and a full-service spa among other shared spaces within the development.
Each of the building’s common areas will feature “signature items” showcasing the car brand’s trademark colors, stitching style, and materials—from polished wood and supple leather to carbon fiber with an emphasis on comfort.
