There are few more aptly named birds than the Restless Flycatcher. This bird is an exercise in perpetual motion, constantly moving from perch to perch and hawking insects. However, even that is not the bird's most distinctive feature. It could easily be called the Concrete Mixer Flycatcher, because its call sounds for all the world like a concrete mixer spinning a load of aggregate. I got this male on a cloudy day at the Peechelba Hall, a tin shed in the middle of the bush in rural Victoria.

The most disposable element of the disposable pop market (that is being recovered here) is the paper sleeve protecting the fragile grooves from inevitable degradation. Even these items, virtually ignored until now, have reached the Ebay resale market. Perhaps these will act as the only clue in your search for the regional (rather than the multi-national), let alone as a tenuous homage to the anonymous corporate designer.
The sleeves pictured above aren’t the rarest of examples (and I do love those regional small label paper sleeves), but I thought it interesting to show the changes in the designs of two corporate giants.
For the more obscure 45rpm paper sleeves, let me point you in the direction of a dedicated blog:

Just goes to show . . . the tactile quality of any recovered object can engender such a fondness in the collector's heart that a niche (defined in this case as the space reserved for an iconic object) is created so we can all let our minds wander and speculate about who, when and where . . .
I shot this in one shot. The only digital manipulation is curves & coloring. This shoot was my first experimentation with long exposure, and shooting it with my mkii involved lots of creativity, blankets, towels, my remote and a flashlight.

The church and convent of San Damiano is where it all began in Assisi. As the place where St. Francis first received his miraculous calling in 1205 and where St. Clare died in 1253, it is an important stop on the pilgrimage to the Franciscan holy city. The simple oratory is located in a beautiful setting just outside the walls of Assisi.
The originally hosted a small Benedictine priory, documented since 1030. In 1205, in its dilapidated old oratory, a young and restless Francesco was praying before a 12th-century painted crucifix. Suddenly, the Christ on the crucifix came to life and spoke to Francis, saying, "Rebuild my church."
Francis took the command literally at first, reconstructing the little church with his own hands. The church later became a favorite retreat for Francis and his followers and it was here that he wrote the first draft of his celebrated Canticle of the Creatures.
St. Clare, follower and close friend of Francis, founded her Order of the Poor Clares here at San Damiano in 1212. She lived here most of her life as its abbess and passed away in an upstairs room on August 11, 1253. Her body was transferred a few years later to the Basilica di Santa Chiara, constructed in her honor.

Located in the beautiful Umbrian countryside just outside Assisi, San Damiano is a simple and peaceful place - a nice change from the large and crowded memorials to St. Francis in town.
San Damiano does not have the artistic importance of the renowned Basilica of San Francesco, but that is part of its charm and what keeps it so quiet and peaceful here. And it does have some notable artworks.
The church's single nave is dimly lit and covered with a pointed barrel vault. It bears 14th-century frescoes depicting St. Agnes; St. Francis Praying before the Crucifix (damaged); St. Francis Throwing Away His Money in Front of the Priest; and the Father of St. Francis Threatening Him with a Stick. The painted crucifix is a copy of the miraculous icon that spoke to St. Francis; the original now hangs in the Basilica of St. Clare.
The choir, even lower and darker than the nave, has wooden stalls from the early 16th century. Its apse is decorated with a 13th-century fresco of the Madonna and Child between Sts. Rufinus and Damianus. Much retouched over the years, the fresco shows similarities with the Maesta del Cimabue in the lower church of the Basilica of St. Francis.
Upstairs, the Chapel of San Girolamo contains some brightly colored frescoes by Tiberio of Assisi (a pupil of Perugino) dating from 1517-22. The apse depicts the Madonna and Child between St. Francis and St. Clare, surrounded by the Four Evangelists with their symbols. The side wall shows St. Clare with her nuns.
The monastery buildings are usually open to visitors. The attractive 15th-century cloister has frescoes of San Francesco Receiving the Stigmata and The Annunciation, signed by Eusebio da San Giorgio in 1507.
The old dormitory is a large empty room with a view over the cloisters; the spot in which Clare died is lovingly marked. The little Choir of the Poor Clares contains wooden choir stalls from the time of St. Clare (13th century) and a Crucifixion fresco by Pier Antonio Mezzastris (1482). The refectory retains its old tables and benches, as well as frescoes by Dono Doni.

This is the third video of surgery on Tim's legs for Restless legs Syndrome. In this video you'll see the decompression of his superficial peroneal nerve tunnel. This nerve tunnel in your leg is often the cause of the symptoms you experience in the lower part of your leg extending down towards your foot and ankle. I commonly refer to Restless Legs by a new term, Restless Legs Compression Syndrome as for many patients compression on nerves in the legs from tight tunnels can be the cause. Tim is back home in Pennsylvania enjoying uninterrupted sleep. If you'd like to learn more about how you can eliminate your misery and get your life back go to our website.

The Manic Mommies are joined by Abigail Jones, co-author of the new book "Restless Virgins", the riveting real-life story of a group of seniors at Milton Academy, a prestigious New England prep school, which was rocked by a sex scandal in 2005.
Abigail and the Mommies discuss popularity, pressure, and the changing landscape of teenage sexuality today. This is an important conversation, but may not be something you want to listen to with small children around.
I need to find a place to hide. you never know what could be waiting outside, the accidents that you could find...it's like some kind of suicide. so, what ails you is what impales you. I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied. I'm a victim of my symptom. I am my own worst enemy. you're a victim of your symptom. you are your own worst enemy. know your enemy.
The Restless was built in 1965 by "Hook Brothers" Teignmouth, She is the last of three boats built by Stanley Hook, Syd Hook and Jim Belton. She has been operating out of Teignmouth as a pleasure boat since then. The Restless was used as the Teignmouth Auxiliary Lifeboat for many years until the RNLI provided a boat for the town, The Coxwain was the current owner William Hook (Bill)
Doesn't this look a scene where a cowboy has just paid a saloon girl and he would be sitting on the corner of the bed, just out of frame, bent over putting on his boots, as she leans against the doorway, with messed up hair and ...oh wait...did I just say that out loud....? ;-)
