The Rings That Refused a Single Place BY AEON VON ZARK.
They were installed
without construction.
One morning,
they simply
occupied
the interval
between
certainty
and location.
The old dome
continued
to stand
exactly
where it had
always been.
Yet each person
leaving it
remembered
a slightly
different
building.
None
of those memories
contradicted
the others.
They merely
refused
to coincide.
The rings
did not open
a passage.
They allowed
places
to possess
more than
one presence
at once.
Smoke
crossed them
without distortion.
Only afterwards
did the air
hesitate
over
which version
of itself
should continue.
Survey maps
became
remarkably
accurate.
Each one
described
a place
that certainly
existed.
No two
described
the same one.
People
adapted
without effort.
Appointments
were still kept.
Conversations
continued.
Only now,
when someone said,
-I’ll meet you
at the dome,-
it had become
polite
to ask,
-Which one
is yours
today?-
The Osprey was obviously upset with the goose. He flew around around the nest with his talons balled up like fists. He made at least two close approaches but was rebuffed by the goose. A pair of Osprey have made a nest in the trees very close to this position. They probably want this spot.
Grand-Pre National Historic Site is a park set aside to commemorate the Grand-Pr area of Nova Scotia as a centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755, and the British deportation of the Acadians that happened during the French and Indian War. The original village of Grand Pr extended four kilometres along the ridge between present-day Wolfville and Hortonville. Grand-Pr is listed as a World Heritage Site and is the main component of two National Historic Sites of Canada.
This Church is a Memorial to the men and boys who were read the Deportation Order on September 5th, 1755 and held prisoners for one month until the ships that would deport and scatter these families arrived. The Order had been decided upon by Governor Lawrence, Lieutenant Governor of Acadia stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Governor Lawrence believed that the Acadians were a threat to the British. However, the Acadians had no such intentions and were very peace loving and hard working people. Though the Acadians had signed Allegiance to the British Crown that had promised they would never have to bear arms against France ~ the land of their birth ~ Governor Lawrence ordered them to take up arms against France for the British. When the Acadians refused, the Order of Deportation was prepared and given by John Winslow. At the same time the Order was being read Governor Lawrence took prisoners those men who had gone to meet with him in Halifax and who had been chosen as representatives by their Acadian families and neighbors. Some of the men and boys imprisoned in the Church that day, would never see their families again.

Once again I returned to U.S. Auctions, a private auction company, to see what Refuse Trucks will be auctioned off. I knew several ASL’s and a mini Amrep MSL, would be at the auction. I was looking forward to seeing a mini Amrep MSL, which looked great and was in good shape. This auction was pure ESD trucks, (12) 2007 Amrep ASL’s and (1) mini Amrep Octo MSL. Unfortunately the ESD ASL’s were not in great shape, and all of them sold for under $6,500 each. As you can see in the pictures and video, the trucks are covered in rust (including the inside of the hopper) and some had missing arms. What surprised me was that some of the trucks were completely full of Green Waste and others had bags of trash in the body and dangling from the arm. I believe these trucks would be in better condition if they were washed down regularly like Waste Management of El Cajon, who has some of the cleanest trucks, some of which are almost twice as old as these ESD trucks.
I had a great time at the auction, thank you U.S. Auctions!
Rey refuses Unkar Plutt's offer to buy BB-8, so Unkar sends several thugs to retrieve the droid. Unluckily for them, Rey is a skilled fighter with her staff.
I wanted to make a Rey scene after the Forces of Destiny shorts were released, as well as after seeing the latest Last Jedi footage. Luckily there was still some material I didn't cover in my Force Awakens series. Sadly, this will be my last MOC for quite some time as I will be returning to university next week.

“Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled and it will be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising. But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven--only you. It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear. The one who says nothing good came of this is not yet listening.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estes

This photograph, it's like a still from a classic horror film, where the opulence of the past meets the mystery of the unknown. The lavish decay of this grand foyer whispers of a time when it buzzed with the anticipation of opening nights and the rustling of silk gowns. Now, it seems to stand as an eerie mausoleum to those glittering nights, the silence as heavy as the velvet curtains that once hung there.
The celestial mural on the ceiling, a darkened sky punctuated by ghostly clouds, gazes down upon the empty space with a celestial melancholy. The light, casting long, spectral fingers across the carpet, seems to beckon one towards the doors, as if urging you to step through a portal to another time, another existence.
The ornate patterns on the carpet, now trodden by the invisible footfalls of phantoms, add to the atmosphere of gothic grandeur. The playbills, like ancient relics, hint at the tales of drama and intrigue that once unfolded beyond those wooden doors. And yet, there's an uneasy tranquility, as if the air itself is holding its breath, waiting for the phantom applause to fill the void once more.
This is no mere lobby; it's a crossroads between the tangible and the spectral, where every shadow and every echo tells a story. It's a photograph that perfectly captures the eerie beauty of forgotten splendor, a reminder that even in abandonment, there lies a haunting elegance.
A place where the past lingers, reluctant to fade away, where every grain of the wood and every faded stroke of paint holds the essence of a bygone era, desperate to be remembered. A truly captivating capture, where the silence speaks volumes. Keep on framing these forgotten stories, for they are the echoes of history that refuse to be silenced.
====The Hall of Doom====
Lex- Crane still refuses to answer me. Still, the world can not stop simply because the Scarecrow is ignoring me. There's always a Plan B.
Kuttler- Plan B! You mean to say you're still going through with this?
Lex- Noah, after all these years you still think that 'I' would change my mind? The Scarecrow may have thrown another obstacle my way, he may have through means unknown turned my men against me, but I refuse, point blank, to allow that to stop my from completing my plans.
Kuttler- That's it then? Nothing I can do would stop you?
Lex- Well... I suppose you could shoot me in the head with that gun you're holding but I doubt you really have the courage to kill me.
Kuttler- You'd be surprised, I sent Burnrate after Sionis and the Green Arrow-
Lex- Last month, yes, but that was a machine, wasn't it. You could never really get your hands dirty, could you?
Kuttler- I- damn you
*He throws the gun away in defeat*
Lex- Good. Now, as I was going to say before your little interruption, I want you to contact Emil Hamilton at Project CADMUS, he knows the item I'm after, so therefore it should be easy enough to procure...
*Thawne comes speeding down the hall towards him and throwing him to the ground, his hand around Luthor's throat*
Lex- This is your mutiny is it, Thawne? That makes sense, I thought I recognised your signature sloppiness. Now, if you could loosen your grip-
Thawne- I told him, you know. Kuttler, I mean. I said he couldn't do it.
Lex- Of course not, why would I walk, outside, unprotected, with a man who disagreed with me, without first confirming he would not be a threat? Really Eobard, your constant ressurections must be having a negative effect on your inferior intellect.
Thawne- Don't aggravate me further Lex, I could kill you-
Bane- Thawne! What is this treachery?
Thawne- Ask Luthor. You recognise this Bane?
Bane- Yes. One of our "Brain-Bombs". Explain.
Thawne- Well, I happened to dig that one out of my throat. I imagine- Yes, you have one too
Lex- A precaution, really. After our vote, I couldn't be sure you would go through with our plan
Bane- Remember this Luthor, we aren't like the rest of your lackeys, we are on the council and consequently you shall treat us as equals. If you don't... rest assured I will break you, and anyone who continues to follow you. Are we clear?
Thawne- That's not adequate, you can't trust his word, we're just puppets to him! You know the only way to ensure our survival would be to-
Bane- Killing him would do us no good and I doubt those bombs are the only leverage on us... Now, Luthor, are we clear?
Lex- ... Crystal. Now. If you'll excuse me... *exits*
Thawne- Great, Bane. We had a chance to stop him and you didn't take it!
Bane- I said it would do us no good. It is that simple. We would need to know what we're up against before attempting an attack against him.
Thawne- I still think we ought to have killed him. He was vunerable and-
Bane- That would be cowardly. I abhor cowardice.
Kuttler- You know, there are other ways to stop him...

Constantin Brancusi, a native of Targu Jiu, was commissioned by the National League of Gorj Women to honor soldiers who had defended Târgu Jiu in 1916 from the forces of the Central Powers. The memorial monument complex was finished in 1938. Constantin Brâncuși (1876–1957) was at the time living in Paris, but welcomed the opportunity to create a large commemorative sculpture in his homeland. He accepted the commission in 1935, and refused to receive payment for it. Today, these large sculptures of the memorial complex, The Table of Silence, The Gate of the Kiss, The Alley of Chairs along with The Endless Column are main touristic attractions in Targu Jiu, Romania.
The sculpture is 6.45 m wide, 5.13 m high and 1.69 m thick and is built as a triumphal arch symbolizing the the triumph of life over death.

ORIGINALLY THE PROPERTY OF THE 4TH EARL OF CRAVEN,1907 DAIMLER TYPE TP 45 10.6-LITRE FOUR-SEAT TOURER
Registration no. AC1094
Sold for £ 359,900 inc. premium
Footnotes
"But allowing for its idiosyncratic behaviour and its occasional bouts of sulking and refusing to co-operate, it is my favourite car. The car I would keep if allowed only one. With its hissing carburettor, exposed valve gear and whirring chain-drive to the wheels it has all the uncomplicated charm of the primitive creation, the very essence of the horseless carriage. For that most enjoyable of all motoring experiences – just meandering through France with nothing to do more urgent than eating and drinking – it is the perfect carriage." All in Good Time, George Daniels.
The noble Craven family no doubt shared George Daniels' views about this motoring Leviathan, retaining it in their family ownership from new in 1907 until it acceded to residence in the Daniels motor house in 1983. William George Robert Craven inherited the Earldom of Craven at the age of fourteen in 1883, at the same time inheriting some 40,000 or so acres of the English countryside as well as three country seats. It was to Coombe Abbey in Warwickshire, set amid a well-timbered deer park, that the gleaming Daimler was delivered in August 1907, the thirty nine year old 4th Earl of Craven cutting a dash as he motored - Mr. Toad-like - between his estates and while fulfilling his duties as a Liberal politician, Captain of The Yeoman of the Guard and Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, a position he held from 1913 to 1921. A member of The Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland, The Earl was known to have an allegiance to the Daimler marque, this car joining a small fleet of at least four other Daimlers in service with the Craven family in 1907.
The Earl's grandson, F.W.Billingham, in a letter to George Daniels dated December 1984 which is on file, records admirably the car's history. Daniels himself records a conversation with the son of the original chauffeur who related how his father, a Daimler employee, had delivered the car in 1907 from the Daimler factory in Coventry, planning to stay just long enough for the Earl to learn how to manage the car. Some fifty years later the chauffeur died, still in the employ of the Craven family.
A motoring log, known to survive in 1984, but not on file, recorded that up to the end of August 1908 the Daimler had covered 4,326 miles and thereafter every journey the car made from September 1st 1908 to October 7th 1915 was fully recorded, the stated mileage then being 22,506 miles. The Craven cars were all liveried in dark blue with white and red coachlining and this car was no exception. The car is recorded as being with Daimler from January 25th 1910 to March 3rd 1910 'for plating and varnishing'. Presumably at this stage all brightwork was copper plated – the car being known always by the Craven family as 'The Copper Car'. It is thought that the wheels were changed from the original wooden artilleries to wire wheels at Daimler in the 1915-1919 period. The only journey recorded after October 1915 was the drive on December 18th 1919 to Hamstead Marshall, near Newbury, (the Craven's Berkshire residence). There it was stored on blocks, the intention being to use the car for Continental touring after things had settled down after the war. The tragic and untimely death of the 4th Earl in a yachting accident in The Solent off the south coast of England in 1921 put paid to those plans. For some thirty or so years on the venerable Daimler remained on blocks in the heated motor house at Hamstead Marshall, sharing that accommodation with the Craven family Hooper State Coach. After thirty years on blocks the car passed into the ownership of Rupert Craven of Thurso in Scotland, in whose hands it saw just occasional use before passing in June 1983 from Craven ownership into the care of George Daniels.
It could have found no better home, Daniels being fascinated by the interesting technical specification of the car and enthralled by the sheer performance provided by the 10.6-litre four-cylinder engine, which delivered a top speed of 80mph at just 1,200rpm. The unbroken history, the originality and undoubted integrity of this car made it an essential acquisition for the Daniels motor house. Here is a car that has never been restored but simply maintained to a very high standard in its early life by its manufacturer and latterly by George Daniels – a demanding engineer in his own right.
Warwickshire County Council records confirm first registration on 4th July 1907 as AC 1094 and note livery as dark blue with red and white lines, livery it retains to this day with only discolouration of the varnish re-applied at the factory in 1910. The compact four seater coachwork, with its leather side valances, still bears the Craven family coat of arms on the body side panels and is upholstered in burgundy coloured leather, access to the rear seats being via a forward tipping front seat. The car is remarkably well equipped to the detailed specification of the motoring enthusiast Earl, driving equipment including Phare Ducellier acetylene headlamps, copper sidelamps, now discretely converted to contain flashing indicators for safety reasons, escargot-type centrally mounted bulb horn, under bonnet-mounted four trumpet Le Testophone trumpet horn, single piece folding windscreen, Oldfield Dependence single rear lamp and rear mounted spare wheel. The driver is occupied by a four-speed gate change gearbox with separate reverse lever, three dashboard mounted oil flow sight glasses, a 0-85mph speedometer by S.Smith & Son Ltd. and a dashboard clock to ensure punctual arrival. AA and RAC member's badges are carried. The familiar Daimler curved bulkhead houses most practical lockers for the touring motorist. Transmission is via a cone clutch and final drive is by those whirring sidechains that gave Daniels so much pleasure. Note particularly the hinged brake and clutch pedals for added driver comfort. The single lever control on the five spoke steering column opens the throttle, weakens the mixture and advances the ignition with one movement – a Daimler feature which worked well when meticulously set up. Another Daimler feature not widely copied by others is the rear-hinged coachwork which, with rear mudguards removed, allows the body to tip backwards providing quick and easy access to the gearbox and side chains for maintenance. A modern starter motor has been fitted to facilitate the easy starting of the mighty engine, although Daniels does report that the car will start by switching on the coil when all four cylinders have been primed with fuel, switching later to the Simms Type D4 magneto for normal running. Although not presently fitted the car comes with a cape cart style hood requiring renovation.
Car no. 4325 has been known in veteran car circles for many years and was dated by The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain on 1st November 1952, the only noted modification recorded then being the factory fitted Rudge Whitworth wire wheels. A most interesting history file offered with the car records a trip to Dieppe in 1983, soon after acquisition by Daniels, travelling with a distinguished group of cars from its peer group, and contains VCC Dating Certificate No. 292, Swansea V5 registration document, a copy of the original Warwickshire County Council Registration Record, the original Type TP45 parts catalogue for this car and a number of expired tax discs and MOT certificates. It records also that Daniels competed the Daimler at the VSCC Colerne Speed Trials in 1984, completing the kilometre in 45.89 seconds and attaining a recorded speed of 69.9mph.
Here is a car carefully selected by its original owner, the 4th Earl of Craven, and indeed by George Daniels, as representing the pinnacle of motoring excellence, speed and excitement of its day. Some 105 years on the Daimler has amassed an outstanding provenance and a patina almost unrivalled amongst its peer group and yet here is a car with potential still to amass both national speeding tickets and conservation class awards at the highest international level in the hands of its next connoisseur owner. As Daniels himself said, a car with "all the uncomplicated charm of the primitive creation the very essence of the horseless carriage."
EXPLORED ON 18 JULY 2009 - # 473
On a trip to Mahabalipuram, this week, I met this woman selling juicy mangos in the early hours of the morning. I was amazed at the colors that was on display and quickly went over to her to ask if I could shoot her.
She was not very open to it and said that she had not yet done any business that day. Hence she felt that by posing for me, it would bring her bad luck.
I thought about Don Corleone of The God Father fame, and offered her a deal that she could not refuse. I offered to buy a dozen mangos from her, if she would allow me to take her portrait. Her face beamed. She did her business first, then blessed the first income of the day and inserted into her money bag. Then gave me this gentle smile, signaling that now she was ready to be photographed. Click....and a few more clicks.
Happy Weekend my friends.

HI ALL, To my AMAZEMENT!! I was able to get on the internet right now!! No clue why I haven’t been able to for more then a month. No clue how long I can stay on or if I will be able to get back on anytime soon.
My health is oretty lousy with allergies on top and pretty bad to. No covid I have been tested more then once. The guy in the next apartment seems likely to have covid, but refuses to be tested or mask up or isolate and the building doesn’t seem to be able to do anything. Guy next door says it isn’t his problem if anyone gets it they were ment to get it.
Anyway I have been stuck in my apartment due to health so I haven’t encountered him much so that is a good thing.
How are you all doing?? I hope well!! Enjoying life?? Doing anything fun this summer??
I better send this while I hopefully can.
Please take care and prayers for you all.
I hope you are all well. :)
Charles.
I do force this old body out for walks when i can and of course I need food so to get grocerys a very painful difficult thing to do. Ordering them to be dilivered is not affordable for me and not have internet accesse makes that not possible even if i could. But getting out some is good and thus these two pictures.
Hugs all. No clue when I'll be on again.
Charles.
