L'origine è incerta, poiché non esistono documenti anteriori al XII secolo. Fino al 1260 appartenne ai castelli dei conti della Berardenga e nel 1271 fu sede di un giurisdicente civile dipendente dal Podestà di Siena.. Il Poggio fino al 1833 contava 315 abitanti e oggi è un paese senza genti; un paese fantasma.
Restano le sue vuote case, e una targa a ricordare che per un tempo qui rimase l'eroe dei due mondi per dimenticare lo scempio di Aspromonte; lì dove Garibaldi, in marcia verso Roma per scacciare il papa, fu fermato e ferito dal regio esercito.

The build used in my Deadpool vs the Fourth Wall creation.
The build here was heavily inspired by X-Men Origins: Wolverine; and while it’s small and cute, I think it depicts the scene fairly well, considering that depicting the scene was not really the point of the build anyways. Originally, for my Deadpool vs the Fourth Wallbuild, I wanted to have Deadpool blasting out a wall on the back of a build, landing into the film production (Somewhat seen in the final build), but hah, well it’s not the “Fourth Wall” unless he’s jumping out of the invisible viewable wall in the front—required to do that made the overall build less “action-ey” but still nice in the end.

In other J-No news, I’ve got a few things on the list to be made as well as released. Tuesday, October 1st, arrives Batman: Arkham Origins, Deathstroke. There are currently no Batman Animated Series builds scheduled to be released soon; I’m currently searching for episodes to create next, and then any pieces I may need to acquire for them as well. Potential Wonder Woman build coming, along with a possible Superman build as well as another Marvel build I’ve wanted to do for a while.
Work for school. This may be the first time I like stupid FlickrSharpening!
Oh and I dedicate this to Classical Beauty for the testimonial. Thank you, dear!
The hearts are out of sweet pepper and I spent hours for making them myself.
Now I won't be able smell any sweet pepper without feeling sick ever again.
I'm not really satisfied but my teacher liked it though..

The Origins and Purpose of Street Art and Graffiti — A Historical Essay.
Prehistoric and Ancient Beginnings (40,000 BCE – 500 CE)
Graffiti’s origins stretch back to humanity’s earliest visual culture. Prehistoric cave paintings — including hand stencils created by blowing pigment through tubes — functioned as some of the earliest “tags,” marking presence and identity. These date from 40,000–10,000 years ago.
By the classical era, graffiti was widespread across Ancient Greece and Rome, where people scratched messages, jokes, political commentary, and personal boasts into walls. The oldest known written graffito dates to around 500 BCE.
In Pompeii, graffiti served as advertising, satire, political slogans, and everyday communication, revealing the lives of ordinary people rather than elites.
Purpose in this era:
1. Marking presence (“I was here”)
2. Social commentary
3. Recording daily life
4. Religious or political expression
5. Communication by non‑elites otherwise absent from written history
Medieval to Early Modern Graffiti (500–1800 CE)
Graffiti continued through the medieval period, especially in religious and rural landscapes. In the Middle East, the Safaitic inscriptions — scratched onto rocks across Syria, Jordan, and Arabia — are the only surviving record of an ancient Arabic dialect.
In Europe, travellers, workers, and even antiquarians carved names and messages into castles, churches, and monuments. At Stonehenge, 18th‑century visitors left carved signatures, showing graffiti as a record of presence and identity.
Purpose in this era:
1. Recording travel or pilgrimage
2. Personal memorialisation
3. Folk expression by ordinary people
4. Documentation of labourers and craftsmen
The Birth of Modern Graffiti (1950s–1970s)
Modern graffiti culture emerged in Philadelphia in the 1950s, led by figures like Cornbread, who pioneered tagging as a form of self‑promotion and identity.
By the late 1960s and early 1970s, graffiti exploded in New York City, especially on subway trains. Writers such as TAKI 183 and others transformed tagging into a competitive, stylised art form.
This era marks the shift from simple inscriptions to complex lettering, murals, and large-scale public visibility.
Purpose in this era:
1. Personal identity and fame (“getting up”)
2. Reclaiming public space
3. Youth expression in marginalised communities
4. Resistance to social and economic exclusion
The Rise of Street Art (1980s–2000s)
Street art evolved from graffiti but expanded into stencils, wheat‑paste posters, stickers, installations, and murals. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean‑Michel Basquiat, and later Banksy brought street art into global consciousness.
Street art differed from graffiti by focusing less on lettering and more on imagery, political messages, and public commentary.
According to The Art Story, street art grew from the belief that art should be:
1. Accessible to everyone
2. Outside traditional institutions
3. Democratic and empowering
4. A counter‑attack against advertising and corporate messaging
5. Purpose in this era:
6. Political protest
7. Social commentary
8. Challenging authority and capitalism
9. Beautification and community identity
Artistic experimentation outside galleries
Contemporary Street Art and Graffiti (2000s–Present)
Today, graffiti and street art occupy a complex space between vandalism, public art, activism, and cultural heritage.
Graffiti remains illegal in many contexts, yet it is also recognised as a vital form of urban storytelling, especially for marginalised voices.
Street art, meanwhile, is often commissioned by cities, festivals, and cultural institutions, blurring the line between rebellion and acceptance.
Current purposes:
1. Urban regeneration
2. Tourism and cultural branding
3. Community identity
4. Political resistance
5. Artistic innovation
Street art and graffiti are not modern inventions — they are part of a 40,000‑year human tradition of marking presence, expressing identity, and challenging power. From Roman jokes to New York subway tags to global street murals, they remain one of the most democratic and immediate forms of public expression.
It feels like yesterday that this all began. It was a day I will never forget. Waking up that day, I never imagined it would end up being the worst day of my life. Everything was normal. Go to work, come home, whatever. I go to bed with my fiancé Alexandra. What I wasn't prepared for was the nightmare that I would wake up to. Startled by a night terror, I woke up.. But I wasn't in bed. I was in my living room, lying down on the couch. I turn a nearby lamp on, and look at my hands. I have blood on my hands. But whose blood? Noticing the trail of blood on the floor, I follow it until I found myself in the kitchen. On the kitchen table was my soon to be wife.. Rushing over, I felt for her pulse, not trying to assume the worst. No pulse. Multiple stab wounds in her chest. The tears wouldn't stop after that. I cried, holding her lifeless corpse in my arms.
What have I done?! I yelled out.
Who said you were the one to do it?
William, I'm scared.
SHUT UP BILLY!! Nobody cares if you're scared or not.
Damnit, they're at it again..
"If it wasn't me, why do I have blood on my hands?"
Well cause it was me.
"WHAT? Why would you do that? You knew she was the love of my life.. How could you Tengu?!"
She was getting in the way of our mission. Don't you see? She was only a distraction.. Nothing more..
"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?! I'm sick, and tired of having to deal with this day in and day out."
Not gonna happen. We are part of you. Always have, always will."
Why can't we just all get along for once?
"I'M DONE!" I scream slamming my fist into the table. There's this red aura that surrounds me as my fist smashes through the table with ease.
"You took her away from me.. Now I have to atone for the rest of my life."
That was the day Virtue was born.
Some days ago I visited village where my great- grandmother lived. Where my parents are buried. During the Second World War, when the Nazis came to the village at night, my great-grandmother and her three children hid in the icy November water in the reeds. The youngest child died of hypothermia. I hoped that my generation wouldn’t go through the war… By coincidence, the day before the war I came here and stayed for a month

[ENG] The origin of the Pazo de Rubianes is a 12th century fortress tower in which D. García Caamaño -founder of Vilagarcía de Arousa city- built his residence at the beginning of the 15th century. In the 18th century, the Lord of the House of Rubianes, Mr. Jacobo Ozores, upon returning from his exile in France, rebuilt the Pazo that we know today. The winery, stables from the 15th century are the oldest buildings that are preserved in their original state. It has an area of 70 Ha in which there is a French garden, an English garden, a botanical park with more than 4,500 specimens of camellias, and other centenary trees of magnolias, cryptomerias, camphors, araucarias, oaks, eucalyptus ... and a 25 Ha vineyard of Albariño grapes, the largest in the Salnés region. More photos in the album Pazo de Rubianes, Galicia (Spain).
[ESP] El estanque de las ranas data de 1764 y se sitúa en el entorno cercano al palacio. Dos fuentes de piedra con forma de ranas vierten agua en la alberca rectangular rodeada de columnas, y junto a ellas una pérgola formada uniendo las ramas de cuatro plátanos proporcionan un espacio fresco para el reposo.
El origen del Pazo de Rubianes es una torre fortaleza del siglo XII en la que D. García Caamaño –fundador de Vilagarcía de Arousa- construyó su residencia a principio del siglo XV. En el siglo XVIII el Señor de la Casa de Rubianes D. Jacobo Ozores, al regreso de su destierro en Francia, reconstruyó el Pazo que hoy conocemos. La bodega, caballerizas y cuadras del siglo XV son las construcciones más antiguas que se conservan en su estado original. Cuenta con una superficie de 70 Ha en la que se ubica un jardín francés, un jardín inglés, un parque botánico con más de 4.500 ejemplares de camelias, y otros árboles centenarios de magnolios, cryptomerias, alcanfores, araucarias, robles, eucaliptos… y un viñedo de 25 Ha de uva albariño, el más extenso de la comarca del Salnés.

Alex Williams stood in a dark alleyway. On her brother's urging, she had arranged a meeting to by clone, a drug contraband in New Blok City, from the Skull, a well-known crime boss and drug trafficker. Now, she was wishing she hadn't. The Skull's minions had yet to show, and If she didn't get out of there soon, she was going to get mugged. As she was debating whether or not to . continue waiting, she felt a sharp tap on her shoulder. Alex spun around to see a man in a creepy latex mask, shaped like a skull, staring at her. "Are you-" "Yes." The man replied. "Let's get down to business." "I trust you have my payment?" "Y-y-yes" Alex stammered. She was terrified, both of getting caught by the police and the man in the skull mask. "Excellent." The man said, holding out his hand. "Clone first." Alex said with all the confidence she could muster. "This good enough for you?" The goon asked, opening a black suitcase. Inside were ten hypodermic needles, each containing a milky gray fluid. "Y-yes." Alex stammered again, Holding out a two crisp $100 bills. "Pleasure doing business with you." The dealer said wryly, grabbing the bill out of her hand and handing her the suitcase. "If you ever need me, you know who to call." He said, walking away. Alex nervously took one of the needles and injected it into her arm. As the clone rushed through her veins, she felt the excited tingling sensation her brother, Drake, had described, but also some thing else. Alex fell to the ground, shaking and sweating profusely as her body began to overheat. As she slipped from consciousness, she heard the scratchy voice of the henchman say, "Yes, Boss. Everything is going to plan."
This is my first entry to the League of Heroes 8x8 contest. I hope you enjoyed it! Also, the drug "clone" is a creation of fellow league member Andhe :-), and The Skull is a character of Jeremy Green's.
While her origins tie her to the most powerful magical beings of the medieval era, Madame Xanadu's powers are currently limited to the use of her tarot cards. She's able to see clearly into the future, but can only advise those who seek her help. She's also blind, as retribution from Merlin when she attempted to use her powers against him at a young age. While she has more than enough power to cure her blindness, the Spectre has made a point of using his own power to keep her that way.
This figure is...rough. I'm hoping this will spur some folks into making her themselves and maybe give me some ideas. It's just a real pain that the number of pink and magenta minifig parts is so limited!

Suraj Tal or Suraj Tal Lake also called Surya taal, is a sacred body of water, literally means the Lake of the Sun God, and lies just below the Bara-lacha-la pass (4,890m) in the Lahaul and Spiti valley of Himachal Pradesh state in India and is the third highest lake in India, and the 21st-highest in the world. Suraj Tal Lake is the source of Bhaga River which joins the Chandra River downstream at Tandi to form the Chandrabhaga River in Himachal Pradesh territory, and as it enters Jammu and Kashmir it is renamed as the Chenab River. The Bhaga River (a tributary of the Chandrabhaga or Chenab) originates from Surya taal. The other major tributary of the Chandrabhaga, the Chandra originates from the glacier close to the Chandra Taal lake in the Spiti district.
Suraj Tal is 65 km from Keylong, the district headquarters of the Lahaul Spiti district, a frontier district of India which is approachable by road by the National Highway NH 21, also known as the Leh-Manali Highway.
