Langdon Divers taking questions from a school group. Written questions because it's noisy and he is nearly deaf. Sharp answers, though. Q: What's your favorite color? A: Oh, I like all colors!
Addendum: Langdon Divers died December 9, 2007 at age 105. The key to a long life is to stay interested in life. Pass it on.
The answer to the trivia question is...
The trees you see along the street are Elm trees. Cities in the US lost their Elms in the middle part of the last century. Million upon millions of trees died as a result of Dutch Elm Disease.(DED). Until I saw this sign in Regina, Saskatchewan I had no idea the battle still raged. Both Manitoba and Saskatchewan are on the front line and both have a good number of trees left.
Most of us never got to see our streets lined with this noble tree. Its fountain shape is what distinguishes from other trees which created a cathedral or tunnel effect down the streets. I am speculating here but my guess the current Arbor Day Foundation push for urban forests is a result of the loss of these trees.
All to often the Elms where replaced with low quality Silver Maples or other fast growing trees which as they aged began to look like coat racks and became a danger to life and property. Today you see many of these replacement trees being replaced themselves.
One can only wonder how the current line up of "replacement" trees will perform. In my humble opinion Bardford Pears just don't hack it!

Located in the Conde de Agrolongo Square in Braga, the Pópulo Church is one of the Braga churches I like most. This church is part of a larger complex which includes a convent and where the image of the Virgin Mary of Santa Maria del Popolo of Rome is worshiped.
Showing several artistic stiles, this church has traces of the mannerist, baroque and neoclassical stiles. In its interior we can see a simple but majestic decoration due to the size of the building, which creates a peaceful felling to those who enter it. We can observe a lot of typical Portuguese tiles with beautiful paintings portraying religious scenes in white and blue.
Curiously, this church is connected to two of the most important revolutions in the Portuguese history. One, was the popular revolution of “Maria da Fonte” in 1846 when the population attacked the militaries against the new burial rules, which stated that people had to be buried outside the churches and villages. The second one in 1926 when Gomes da Costa leaded a revolution which established Salazar’s dictatorship that dominated Portugal for 48 years.
Its construction started in 1596, but it prolonged from the 16th to the 19th century, but a great part of the project is from the architect Carlos Amarante.
In 1834, with the extinction of the religious orders by the new Liberal State, who won the civil war against the Absolutists Rulers this building became property of the Portuguese state, and in 1841 it was transformed into an Infantry Regiment head-quarter. Nowadays the convent area works as part of the Braga City-Hall.

Oral Question Period on the first day of business for the Third Session of the 28th Legislature. November 18, 2014.
One of the oldest questions in the sport of auto racing is if it is either a team or an individual sport? The correct answer is yes, to both. We know that there is no “I” in team, but the best drivers compete to be #1, which is what makes them the best drivers. Balancing the needs of the team and the personality of the driver behind the wheel is considered to be one of the most difficult jobs in all of professional sports. This Demo Day examined the challenges through the lens of four of the greatest team managers in the history of racing - Ferrari, Neubauer, Wyer, and Shelby. The featured cars for this Demo Day Included: the1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza, the 1964 Cobra Daytona Coupe, the 1958 Aston Martin DBR1, and the1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL.

Today's question. Just had some fab feedback from the DCD designed 'MetaCard' resource training that took place in Germany last week. One of the key cards in this person centred interviewing toolkit, is the 'shift' card. The shift card is pivotal to the implementation phase of creating personal change.
Draeke Darkfold leans forward to level a squinted gaze into her features. “You say that but… I’m thinking you like the mean ones. Most women do, really.” He knew this all too well from personal experience and frequent disappointment. He muses silently a moment before sliding easily from the bar in order to stand before her. “Lemme ask you something and really think about the answer, okay?” He tilts his head, very possibly invading her sense of ‘personal space’ due to his sudden proximity. “Let’s say you had two choices…” His voice trails as he graces her with a scrutinizing stare. “One..” He lifts a single digit in emphasis. “I could spin you around, use something to wrap up your wrists, hike up that skirt of yours and bang you over a chair….” Despite the subject matter, he speaks rather matter-of-factly. “Or two..” A second digit is lifted beside the first. “I could take you by the hand, walk you out to the cliffs and serenade you beneath the moonlight."
"Which one would it be?"

A la veille des fêtes de fin d'année, la situation des millions de mal-logés et sans-abris ne laisse personne indifférent. Il est intolérable qu'en 2010, autant de personnes soient encore contraintes de dormir dans la rue ou dans des logements indécents. Le droit au logement est un droit fondamental reconnu par notre Constitution ainsi que par les conventions internationales comme la Charte Sociale Européenne. La France a donc une obligation de résultat!
C'est cette obligation que j'ai tenu à rappeler au Secrétaire d'Etat chargé du Logement et de l'Urbanisme, M. Benoist Apparu, lors de la dernière séance des Questions au Gouvernement de l'année 2009.

I believe the question Fap Jack posed was, Will you? and it appears the answer from Pink Cherry Licker was, I'd love to! Congrats to the beautiful couple.

The Detroit Regional Chamber held a panel discussion at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Headquarters January 27th, 2010.
The question would be, with this style of lighting going on, should we have 8 or 9 candles? In other words, the 9th, the shamas would be used to light the others (1-8). But if we use a lighter, should we still have the shamas?
So I have a question about explore that I don't quite understand. Is there a difference between getting onto explore and getting onto front page? Or are they the same thing?

Caught this deer along with six of her clan along the old fence behind my home at the breaking of dawn this morning. Unfornately, I didn't have good enough light to get a higher shutter speed but this one was the sole keeper. The acorn crop is limited this year due to the horrific ice storm we had in Arkansas last winter. The deer are more focused on grasses this year rather than the normal mast crop.
