We've owned the "8-Ball" building for about 10 years after buying its burned out hulk. Built in 1907, it once housed an honest-to-god Safeway store in the 30s before that chain settled into large stores in larger towns and discovered that the "cash and carry" concept didn't work in towns used to local credit accounts. We use it for Loren's woodshop, and this past month actually got around to installing new window frames that approximate the original windows.
As the disgusting phrase "new normal" was thrown around and events were modified or cancelled left and right, I learned the inportance of creating normal. My husband and I had our own Italian Festival when our hometown of Scranton cancelled theirs. Everyone brought an Italian Dish and we picnicked outside. This is one of our lovely centerpieces

The cemetery is located on the former site of Bonaventure Plantation, originally owned by Colonel John Mullryne. On March 10, 1846, Commodore Josiah Tattnall III sold the 600-acre (2.4 km2) plantation and its private cemetery to Peter Wiltberger. The first burials took place in 1850, and three years later, Peter Wiltberger himself was entombed in a family vault.
Major William H. Wiltberger, the son of Peter, formed the Evergreen Cemetery Company on June 12, 1868. On July 7, 1907, the City of Savannah purchased the Evergreen Cemetery Company, making the cemetery public and changing the name to Bonaventure Cemetery.
In 1867 John Muir began his Thousand Mile Walk to Florida and the Gulf. In October he sojourned for six days and nights in the Bonaventure cemetery, sleeping upon graves overnight, this being the safest and cheapest accommodation that he could find while he waited for money to be expressed from home. He found the cemetery even then breathtakingly beautiful and inspiring and wrote a lengthy chapter upon it, "Camping in the Tombs."
"Part of the grounds was cultivated and planted with live-oak (Quercus virginiana), about a hundred years ago, by a wealthy gentleman who had his country residence here But much the greater part is undisturbed. Even those spots which are disordered by art, Nature is ever at work to reclaim, and to make them look as if the foot of man had never known them. Only a small plot of ground is occupied with graves and the old mansion is in ruins.
The most conspicuous glory of Bonaventure is its noble avenue of live-oaks. They are the most magnificent, planted trees I have ever seen, about fifty feet high and perhaps three or four feet in diameter, with broad spreading leafy heads. The main branches reach out horizontally until they come together over the driveway, embowering it throughout its entire length, while each branch is adorned like a garden with ferns, flowers, grasses, and dwarf palmettos.
But of all the plants of these curious tree-gardens the most striking and characteristic is the so-called Long Moss (Tillandsia usneoides). It drapes all the branches from top to bottom, hanging in long silvery-gray skeins, reaching a length of not less than eight or ten feet, and when slowly waving in the wind they produce a solemn funereal effect singularly impressive.
There are also thousands of smaller trees and clustered bushes, covered almost from sight in the glorious brightness of their own light. The place is half surrounded by the salt marshes and islands of the river, their reeds and sedges making a delightful fringe. Many bald eagles roost among the trees along the side of the marsh. Their screams are heard every morning, joined with the noise of crows and the songs of countless warblers, hidden deep in their dwellings of leafy bowers. Large flocks of butterflies, flies, all kinds of happy insects, seem to be in a perfect fever of joy and sportive gladness. The whole place seems like a center of life. The dead do not reign there alone.
Bonaventure to me is one of the most impressive assemblages of animal and plant creatures I ever met. I was fresh from the Western prairies, the garden-like openings of Wisconsin, the beech and maple and oak woods of Indiana and Kentucky, the dark mysterious Savannah cypress forests; but never since I was allowed to walk the woods have I found so impressive a company of trees as the tillandsia-draped oaks of Bonaventure.
I gazed awe-stricken as one new-arrived from another world. Bonaventure is called a graveyard, a town of the dead, but the few graves are powerless in such a depth of life. The rippling of living waters, the song of birds, the joyous confidence of flowers, the calm, undisturbable grandeur of the oaks, mark this place of graves as one of the Lord’s most favored abodes of life and light."
- "Camping in the Tombs," from A Thousand Mile Walk
Greenwich Cemetery became an addition to Bonaventure in 1933.
Dear friends !
Tetatology vol.2 is out, and it's all about robots. After a few months of work, I made around 100 elements, that you can combine together. The possibilities are almost infinite. Put the polaroid camera head, with a telephone booth chest, a gameboy stomach and some bicycle chain legs to create a unique machine. Paste it somewhere, keep it on your fridge or give it to a friend. It's up to you!

A veces se me olvida quien soy
se me olvida que vivo en el cielo
en mi imaginación
en mis sueños
en un mundo que yo creé
que no tiene guerras
no tiene odios
no tiene angustias
así como cuando era niña
y hablaba siempre a mi misma, a la nada....
a veces caigo a la tierra,
me golpeo duro
me muero de celos
de angustias evitables
....en la tierra o en el cielo
siempre convertiré las cosas en otras
siempre con las herramientas que sean
creare, creare, creare
este mi propio desastre
los objetos que me recuerdan quien soy
porque estoy aquí
y quienes han pasado por mi vida dejándome recuerdos lindos.
Probably because the lot is owned by the Hyatt, and the Pritzker family can't afford to clean up their property.

After issuing only one fine for a landscape ordinance violation from 2005 until 2008, the city issued 51 in 2009, according to records from the Department of Administrative Hearings. The city meted out $29,000 in fines to businesses last year for landscape ordinance violations. Ninety percent of the violations cited a lack of the required fencing.
Deadlines for putting up fencing were phased in by area. Other parts of the ordinance require trees, hedges and screening of stored trash.
This alley has been this decrepit for several years, but I think the Hyatt purchased the lot in 2006 or 2007, and obviously they have higher priorities than urban beautification.

Long Now created its own Challenge Coin to thank donors to the Long Now Salon. It has become one of the most popular aspects of our Salon "brickstarter" campaign.
The Challenge Coin have a rich history, originating in the military, that many different organizations use today. It comes from a tradition about camaraderie and identity. And it's also a game, on a couple levels. Thought-provoking and fun, great qualities that go well with long-term thinking. We've blogged about it here.
Long Now's coin reads “Carpe Millennium” on one side and features a bristlecone pine on the other. Bristlecones are a symbol of our mission to foster long-term thinking and responsibility. More here.
German theatre has contributed its own unique and diverse style towards Arts. It comprises a different mixture of music and drama. Initially Germany missed behind when England and Spain were acquiring in their own theater trends. The Germans were all of the time involved in war and spiritual riots which deflected their tending from the area of arts. There was also a deficiency of suitable capital which could become the epicenter of such progress. The old stories had a very gothic look and were not brushed up sufficiency. But once the interest was modernized it became more of an ethnical interest which later on resulted in an academic interest with various universities allowing classes in the several field of arts. The theater was one place in Germany where people were free to convey and interchange their ideologies.

This picture's taken during a visit to the Petronas Twin Tower's Skybridge. My friends were entering the Skybridge and I paused a bit to take a snap. Hehe...
Anyway, it was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it done at least once to all Malaysians. It would be a waste to not explore your own country thoroughly and appreciate the architecture when all the international visitors are so keen to see it, right?? =)
And hey, it's free! But there's a catch. The tickets are limited. If you do want to visit it, do come early (I mean, real early, like 7am early) cause the queue is super long! And if you arrive at 8am for example, you'd definitely miss the chance to go up 41 levels to see the view of KL! =P

In It’s my Island, Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic sea. For three months he filled bags of sand and carried them out into the sea until his island appeared. His hard work is shown in the videos, while his photos are testimonies to the end result, his personal paradise. His work points towards the absurdity of human longing, the impossibility to achieve this goal, and a key component of Finnish identity: the escape from culture into the arms of wilderness.

When I went to the Museum of Anthropology on my own a couple days ago, I went to the Philippines exhibit and saw what was mentioned in class a couple weeks ago: a dragon jar! Immediately, the object spoke to me not only because it uses the familiar symbol of the dragons, but it also imparted an aura of mystery to me. I couldn’t quite figure out what it was used for, since it is a rather large jar, and it looks too precious to simply be used for storing grains. Then I learned from the anthropologist that the dragon jars were actually originally intended to be Chinese shipping containers, but as they made their way over to Southeast Asia, their meaning changed, and they became a prestiged artifact. In fact, they became important aspects of family tradition when people started using them as ancestor jars—that is, using the jars to represent the ancestors. Therefore, the jars themselves actually became part of the family. What a grand conclusion from such a meager start as a shipping container!
The object is classified in the collection as a stoneware pot, though it is not clear when it was brought back from the Philippines. The photo was taken in March of 1989, however. Perhaps other categories that could include this object are “changing meanings” and “pottery that shifts contexts.” Thus, some of my tags must include “changing_meanings,” “shipping_containers,” “ancestors,” “Southeast_Asia,” and “mass_production.” The other keywords having been explained, the reason why I chose “mass_production” is because these jars were produced in large quantities not only in China, but in Thailand and Vietnam as well. Whenever Chinese production of ceramics went down, Thailand ramped up its own production in order to make the most of the profits. Therefore, though what eventually made its way over to Indonesia and the Philippines looked Chinese, its buyers might never have known the difference. It’s interesting that just as meanings change with different contexts, truth value changes also.
