Wandering around outside the Eugene Amtrak station late yesterday afternoon and into the evening waiting for the train from Seattle which was running late so I was quite happy I'd brought my camera.

Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4
Origin: United States. Period: 20th Century. Continental cast stone garden figure of Hebe, she is quite beautiful and is completely intact. In Greek mythology, Hebe was the goddess of youth. She is the daughter of Zeus. Hebe was the cup bera for the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus, serving nectar and ambrosia, until she married Hercules. Shop @ The HighBoy.
Origin: Spain. Circa: 1930. Period: 20th Century. This is a rare silver fish, intricately hand-etched with a flexible moving tail and small red glass eyes. The fish displays stunning silver work on every etched scale and with its sinuous line-work that make it look very real. The fish displays some Art Deco elements both on its stylized fins to its face. On the face of the fish we can see abstract angular motifs mixed in with a flower, which surrounds the red glass eye. It is uncanny in its movements, as it moves in wave like forms when held in your hand; in the palm of your hand the fish feels and weighs very real. On one of the lower fins you can see the hallmark of a Pentagram that is a Spanish quality mark indicating a minimum of .915 Silver purity. Also next to it is a makers mark. The fish is made of 915 Spanish Silver and weighs 2.6 troy oz. It measures 7 inches long and to the top of its fin, 2 1/2 inches high. The red glass bead eyes are 1/4 inch round. This rare fish dates to the 1930s and is in great condition. Its a spectacular and unique addition to a silver collection. Shop@ The HighBoy.
Châteauvieux (Loir-et-Cher).
Le château d'origine médiévale fut constamment habité. Il passa par héritage en 1821 à Augustine Marie Rosalie de Forges de Châteaubrun (1772-1853), épouse de Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard (1763-1845).
Issu d’une famille de la bourgeoisie rurale de la Marne, Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard devint avocat. Il participa aux évènements révolutionnaires. Proche des Girondins, il dut quitter Paris durant la Terreur.
En 1797, il devint membre du Conseil des Cinq-Cents pour le département de la Marne. Il en fut exclu suite au coup d’Etat du 18 fructidor en IV.
Partisan de la monarchie constitutionnelle, il entra au conseil secret du comte de Provence, futur Louis XVIII.
Après le coup d'État du 18 Brumaire, l'espoir d'un retour à la royauté disparaît et Royer-Collard se rapproche de l'Empire.
Professeur d’histoire de la philosophie moderne à la Sorbonne, il prit en 1815 la direction de la Commission de l'Instruction publique.
En 1816, il obtint l'instruction communale gratuite. La même année, il devint le porte-parole des "doctrinaires", qui voulaient un retour à une monarchie tempérée, contre les "ultras" qui voulaient une restauration pure et simple.
En 1820, suite a l'arrivée au pouvoir des "ultras",
Entré dans l’opposition, il se rapprocha de François Guizot avec lequel il créa la société "Aide toi, le ciel t’aidera".
En 1828, il revint au premier plan comme président de la Chambre des députés (il fut la même année élu à l’Académie française). C'est à ce titre que le 18 mars 1830 il présente l'adresse des 221 à Charles X, prélude à la Révolution de juillet 1830.
Sous Louis-Philippe, il siège encore à l'Assemblée nationale mais il s'éloigne de la vie politique. Il juge la démocratisation trop rapide et dangereuse.
Il passa les dernières années de sa vie à fréquenter assidument ses amis et voisins, en particulier Talleyrand.
Royer-Collard défendit le principe de la séparation de l’Église et de l’État, mais il le fit parce qu’il considérait que laisser le pouvoir temporel agir sur la religion était un rabaissement de cette dernière.
The medieval castle was constantly inhabited. He passed by inheritance in 1821 to Augustine Marie Rosalie Forges Chateaubrun (1772-1853), wife of Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard (1763-1845).
Coming from a family of rural bourgeoisie of the Marne, Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard became a lawyer. He participated in the revolutionary events. Close to the Girondins, he had to leave Paris during the Terror.
In 1797 he became a member of the Council of Five Hundred for the department of Marne. He was expelled following the coup of 18 Fructidor in IV.
Supporter of constitutional monarchy, he entered the secret counsel of the Count of Provence, the future Louis XVIII.
After the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire, the hope of a return to monarchy disappears and Royer-Collard approximates the Empire.
Professor of history of modern philosophy at the Sorbonne in 1815 he took the direction of the Commission of Public Instruction.
In 1816, he received instruction communal free. The same year, he became the spokesman for the "doctrinaire" who wanted a return to monarchy, against the "ultras" who wanted to restore pure and simple.
In 1820, following the rise to power has the "ultras"
Joined the opposition, he approached François Guizot, with whom he founded the company "Help yourself, heaven help you."
In 1828, he returned to the forefront as president of the Chamber of Deputies (the same year he was elected to the French Academy). It is for this reason that March 18, 1830 it has the address of 221 to Charles X, a prelude to the Revolution of July 1830.
Under Louis-Philippe, it still serves the National Assembly, but he distanced himself from politics. It considers democratization too fast and dangerous.
He spent the last years of his life to attend assiduously his friends and neighbors, especially Talleyrand.
Royer-Collard defended the principle of separation of church and state, but he did it because he felt that leaving the temporal power to act on religion was a lowering of the latter.

The origins of Sutton and Sons date back to 1998, when Danny Sutton opened a fishmongers (formerly âThe Fishery') on Stoke Newington high street. Things must have worked out rather well as, in 2010, Danny and his wife Hana decided to open a fish and chip restaurant just up the road. As you can probably imagine, this is no ordinary fish and chip shop and, although they're much beloved for their traditional takeaway, this place is more a (small) fish restaurant that puts some emphasis on takeaway fish and chips and traditional British food. After all, when was the last time you saw a chippie doing an offer on half a dozen oysters and a bottle of prosecco? Or an actual wine menu at a chippie? Yes indeed! I didnât get a trad fish and chips but the portion sizes looked immense if what anyone else was eating was anything to go by.
Sutton & Sonâs non piscine offerings include traditional english fare like steak and kidney pie, and the atmosphere is very much that of your local chip shop, though I guess with a few âcontemporaryâ touches. That said, there are the obvious nods to the traditional chippie such as tiled walls and one of those things at the counter where you can watch freshly made fish under those oddly coloured heat lamps that keep the food warm. Whilst Danny oversees the running of the business, Hana produced a range of desserts and pickles for the restaurant. There's a chalkboard which shows (presumably) what she has created on the day. We had her vanilla cheesecake, which was absolutely and exactly what a cheesecake should be :3
It's not just the desserts that change regularly. Asides from the regular a-la carte, the 'Catch of the Day' - which, as far as I can tell, the stuff they got in earlier in the day from the fishmonger side of the business. On the day this included quite a few delicious fishes but we tried mackerel (for me) and a pint of prawns (yeah, by the pint! for my friend). What we got was representative of a good fish restaurant - unpretentious and good quality seafood, prepared simply. Nothing particularly mindblowing, but at the level of quality you would expect, fresh from a fishmonger. Another thing worth mentioning is that they have definitely got the recipe for chips right. As you probably know, a lot of the time, when a fishmonger fries a wedge of potato, the result can be quiteâ¦limp and oily. Not so here - the chips are just just delicious crispy and lightly salted. And, lest we forget: deep fried Mars Bars are also a thing, and also on the menu.
If youâre interested in putting these guys to the test for yourself, thereâs now two more Sutton & Sons restaurants - one in Islington, and one in Shoreditchâs Boxpark (which I assume is more temporary). Iâll sum this up with the thoughts of âChris bâ, a TripAdvisor commentator: â...there has been such a decline in fish and chip shops, and many today are kebab and chicken places with perhaps an old bit of fried fish lying about. But not so here.â. Also can we make takeaway mackerel a thing? I would love to live in a world where takeaway mackerel was a thing...

History behind this day
A celebratory Mother's Day cookie cake.Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of different origins.
One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.
The ancient Romans also had another holiday, Matronalia, that was dedicated to Juno, though mothers were usually given gifts on this day.
In some countries Mother's Day began not as a celebration for individual mothers but rather for Christians
Mother's Day in various parts of the world
In most countries, Mother's Day is a new concept copied from western civilization. In many African countries, the idea of one Mother's Day has its origins in copying the British concept, although there are many festivals and events celebrating mothers within the many diverse cultures on the African continent that have been there centuries before the colonials arrived. In most of East Asia, Mother's Day is a heavily marketed and commercialized concept copied straight from Mother's Day in the USA.[citation needed]
Mother's Day is celebrated on different days throughout the world. Examining the trends in Google searches for the term "mother's day" shows two major blips, the smaller one on the fourth Sunday in Lent (it is also called ladies day and women's day), and the larger one on the second Sunday in May.[4]
Note: The definition used in the following table allows "Women's day" to be treated the same as "Mother's Day".

Remains of the most recently discovered early human species, Homo floresiensis (nicknamed ‘Hobbit’), have been found between 95,000 and 17,000 years ago on the Island of Flores, Indonesia. H. floresiensis individuals stood approximately 3 feet 6 inches tall, had tiny brains, large teeth for their small size, shrugged-forward shoulders, no chins, receding foreheads, and relatively large feet due to their short legs. Despite their small body and brain size, H. floresiensis made and used stone tools, hunted small elephants and large rodents, coped with predators such as giant Komodo dragons, and may have used fire.
The diminutive stature and small brain of H. floresiensis may have resulted from island dwarfism—an evolutionary process that results from long-term isolation on a small island with limited food resources and a lack of predators.

His origin is in Varanger in Norway. Paternal line migrated from Kaamanen in present day Finland (in 1826 it was still part of Sweden) to Varanger in Norway. His family still spoke Sami language in the census of 1910, and his son spoke some Sami language before the war in 1945. The paternal line has Sami and Swedish names and patronyms e.g. Pehr Persson (sometimes written Pehrsson). The closest population genetic matches are in present day Sweden. Haplogroup N1c. The colors in this picture are incorrect, his eyes were light blue-grey and his curly hair was light brown.
Opprinnelse fra Varanger i Norge. Hans farslinje (far-sin far-sin far etc.) migrerte fra Kaamanen i dagens Finland (i 1825-26 var området fremdeles del av Sverige) og til Varanger i Norge. Navnene og patronymene til mennene i fars-linjen er svenske f.eks. Pehr Persson (noen ganger skrevet som Pehrsson) og etternavnene kan bekreftes å være samiske. Hans familie snakket samisk i folketellingen pr. 1910, og hans sønn snakket litt samisk før krigen i 1945. Han har de nærmeste populasjonsgenetiske matcher i dagens Sverige. Haplogruppen er bekreftet som N1c. Han er samisk både på morssiden og farssiden. Fargene i dette bildet er feil, hans krøllete hår var lysbrunt og øynene var lys blå-grå.
The surname of his paternal line was Morottaja, it is confirmed. The family lost their surname during the 1800`s in Norway where this Sami family settled. Etternavnet til hans slektslinje på farssiden var Morottaja. Familien mistet slektsnavnet når de i løpet av første halvdel bosatte seg på vårplassen til Siddaen i første del av 1800-tallet.
I will add geneaological information later. Jeg vil legge til slektsinformasjon senere.
Cropredy has ancient origins, a chapel in the church is dedicated to St Fremund, an anglo-saxon saint thought to be the son of King Offa. It's name combines the Old English croppe or hill and ridig, a small stream. The village is only a few miles from Banbury, in hilly country along the banks of the River Cherwell. Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries Cropredy belonged the Bishop of Lincoln. More recently Brasenose College, Oxford, has become a significant landlord giving it's name to the local pub.
Dramatic changes to centuries of agrarian life were heralded by the excavation of the Oxford canal which runs alongside the Cherwell south-east of the church. This busy waterway was superseded by the Great Western railway, the village even had it's own station until 1956.
Unusually Cropredy retains the ringing of the curfew bell, in Medieval times this was a signal to return home and 'cover their fires'. Roger Lupton local priest between 1487 and 1528 was so lost in dense fog that he could only find his way from nearby Chacombe by the ringing of Cropredy's bells. He founded a fund in gratitude which paid for the daily winding of the clock and tolling the bell morning, noon and night. The bell is still rung Tuesday and Thursday nights for five minutes after eight O'clock.
The village is best known for the Civil War 'Battle of Cropredy Bridge'. A rare Royalist victory at a time when the Parliamentary forces were in the ascendancy. In June 1644 the King slipped out of Oxford to avoid two Roundhead armies which were rapidly approaching. At this point the Earl of Essex chose to lead his army south and relieve the siege of Lyme Regis leaving Sir William Waller to pursue the King with half of the men. Waller shadowed the Royal army to Worcester only for the King to double back towards Banbury where the Parliamentary commander saw an opportunity to split the Royal forces which were strung out along the Daventry road. Waller's artillery crossed Cropredy bridge but were too far ahead of the infantry and were overrun. Fierce fighting followed but neither side achieved a significant advantage and a chance of capturing the King was lost. As children we were told stories of a phantom drummer boy.
Cropredy's most prominent claim to fame is their music festival founded when Fairport Convention played the village fete in 1976. Cropredy Music Festival grew from these modest beginnings and now attracts over 20,000 music fans every year.
St. Mary the Virgin is an impressive building constructed from the local rust-coloured ironstone. While part of the wall of the south aisle has been dated to c1050 the present church begins in the 13th century with significant 14th and 15th century additions. The south wall has two tomb recesses thought to be built for Simon de Cropredy and his son c1200. The church has an interesting 13th century parish chest and the chapel dedicated to the anglo-saxon saint Fremund has two 15th century screens, one of which has the initials AD which may stand for Alice Danvers. The nave arcading, tower and choir arches are Perpendicular in style with no capitals and continuous moulding from ground level. The tower is early 15th century with the belfry and parapets added 80 years later, There are eight bells, six from the late 17th century, two added in 2007 called Fairport and Villager. Fragments of a Doom survive above the chancel arch. The church has a 17th century pulpit and a rare pre-reformation eagle lectern which is said to have been hidden in the river before the Battle of Cropredy where it lost one of it's lion feet. The beak has a slot for collecting 'Peter's Pence'. There is a beautiful 15th century head of the Virgin Mary in stained glass which was found in the churchyard. There are two fonts, one Norman and one Victorian. In the tower is a magnificent clock by John Moore of Clerkenwell dated 1831.
Cropredy is just off the Daventry road a few miles from Banbury about an hour from Stratford-upon-Avon.
“In this space, abstract figures form together and organize colorful transcendental structures that represent a mutual whole between opposing forces.”
-Oree Original
Pueblo Nuevo presents, ORIGIN, the first solo exhibit by Oree Original (aka Daniel Jimenez). This new series of paintings are intensely bright, kaleidoscope-like puzzles that evoke pre-Columbian iconography remixed with Oree's personal mythology of our universe. Triangles, circles, squares and lines are used to construct complicated hypnotic patterns which form larger entities. Different combinations of these basic shapes, coupled with the vibrating relationships of solid colors give Oree's creations a seemingly infinite life with endless possibilities of their origins.
Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Oree moved to the Bay Area to begin an internship with Pueblo Nuevo and continue building on a career as a self taught visual artist. Currently residing in Berkeley, Oree has gained quite a reputation on dance floors of nightclubs and house parties all over the Bay. Only being kicked out of a handful of venues, he continues to steal hearts with his impeccable flowing locks.

Fort McKavett had its 1850s origins as a civilian population just north of Camp San Saba in Menard County (not the Camp San Saba in McCulloch County), with the name of Scabtown. Camp San Saba closed in 1859, and many residents fled to safer areas to be protected against Indian depredations. The United States Army reopened the outpost in 1869 as Fort McKavett. As the civilian population of Scabtown grew, the community was renamed after Fort McKavett, and the local economy began to thrive. The Army closed the fort in 1883, but the earlier relocation of native American tribes made the civilians feel safe enough to remain. The population grew, and with it an economy that supported two hotels, three churches, a newspaper, and a mattress factory. The population peaked at 150 at the beginning of the 20th century, but declined in the latter half of the century.
The writer Robert E. Howard, a Texas history enthusiast, visited Fort McKavett in 1933, and wrote: "McKavett is fascinating - a village of ruins and semiruins, people living in the old unruined barracks and officers's quarters, among the remnants of other buildings which had not stood the test of time."
