This is yet another way Benni and Bubba share space. We always have three dog beds in the family room, but Bubba almost always chooses to lay down with Benni then sleep alone on his own bed. Benni then adds the finishing touch, in this case, his back leg draped over Bubba's middle.

Osprey Chick (2) hanging out after a short flight from the nest. He sat there for a couple of hours. What a privilege to share space with this creature.
“I, certainly, do not know all that comes to us at times. A bird is a bird as long as it is there. Then it is a miracle our crumbs and sunflower seeds caught and let go. Is there a book to look through for the identity of a miracle? No bird that is there is miracle enough. Every bird that has been is entirely one. And if some miracles are rarer than others, every incredible bird has crumbs and seeds in common with every other. Let there be bread and seeds in time: all else will follow.”

it was a long and hard walk until I reached the top, however I think the view deserved the effort; the foreground is a small part of Formigal ski resort, lower on the left you can see the village and then a panorama of the Pyrenees, sharing space with the clouds. It's incredible how this kind of shots are much better and impressive when printed on a big format so that any detail can be enjoyed, however in my opinion 900px size lets the imagination guess how it would be on larger size! hope you like it :)
fue un camino largo y duro hasta que llegué a la cima, pero creo que la vista bien mereció el esfuerzo; el primer plano es una pequeña parte de la estación de esquí de Formigal, abajo a la izquierda se ve el pueblo y a continuación un panorama de los Pirineos, compartiendo espacio con las nubes. Es increíble cómo ganan este tipo de imágenes cuando se imprimen a gran formato y pueden disfrutarse todos los detalles, aunque en mi opinión 900px dejan que la imaginación empiece a intuir cómo será en tamaño mayor. ¡Espero que os guste! :)

“Lo-Lux”: This project explores the possibility of combining low-income housing with luxury housing in one tower by giving these two types of housing a different interpretation in public space - in both domestic and the shared space of the tower.
In modern context, “luxury” equals to “privatize”. Luxury apartments tend to privatize everything to guarantee the least amount of disturbance from others, therefore we have luxury apartments with private swimming pool at the balcony, private gym and home theatre within the housing unit. In this case, luxury apartments are located at the half of the tower which adjacent to High Line in this project. These units have the view of High line, larger unit space and standard layout.
Low-income housing is usually featured with shared space because that’s the more efficient way to distribute space as a resource. Communal kitchen or restrooms are designed for social housing at the beginning. The idea of the Pilotis from Le Corbusier was also aiming at freeing the ground floor space for public use. However, with the development of virtual communication tools, people tend to stay at home to communicate with others virtually, rather than going out physically. Now, the public/shared space for housing needs to be subdivided and scattered.
Day 4 of my sojourn through Morocco.
As the line between shadow and light slowly crept down towards the base of the gorge, the cliff walls started coming to life under the warm morning light: epiphytes clinging to the cliffs started opening up, birds began to flutter about, and insects buzzed around. In the shadow region, life was still cold, mainly due to the icy springs that shared space with the road in this beautiful red sandstone gorge amidst the Moroccan desert.
Whilst a popular destination in the tourist map, the throngs of tourists buses, picnickers and hawkers hadn't reached here yet this early in the morning, and in that solitude, I was able to soak in the magnificence of this geological formation. I would go on to see many more amazing features in my drive from the desert to the Atlas mountains, but the Todhra gorge stood out.

It must have been in about 1968 that I first encountered the work of the American "underground" cartoonist Robert Crumb. Every Friday I called at a newsagent's shop in that hotbed of revolutionary counter-culture, Corsham, in Wiltshire. In those days there was a teacher training college in the village which, in consequence, had a large student population. On the newsagent's shelves Woman's Realm, Weekend and Titbits shared space, most incongruously, with Oz and International Times. Soon a couple of "head" shops had opened in Bristol and I was able to buy imported copies of Chicago Seed, Berkeley Barb and Georgia Straight.
Crumb is best known to the general public for the drug-fuelled "stream of consciousness" work he produced at that time. In my view this is a pity. From about the mid-1970s, following some kind of nervous breakdown and the renunciation of drugs, Crumb seems to have worked hard to put his life on an orderly footing. In his cartoons a new clarity and narrative coherence began. He began to produce "documentary" strips distinguished by great technical accomplishment, and to use his own life as raw material.
He has been called "the Bruegel of the 20th century", but might also claim to be its Jean-Jacques Rousseau. "I am commencing an undertaking", wrote Rousseau at the beginning of his celebrated Confessions, "hitherto without precedent and which will never find an imitator. I desire to set before my fellows the likeness of a man in all the truth of nature, and that man myself". It is the measure of an autobiographer's trustworthiness that he is prepared to tell us discreditable things about himself. Everyone has things to be ashamed of. With Crumb it is all there ...the neurotic sexuality, the ambivalent love-hatred of women, the torpor, the clamorous ego, the hopeless longing for what is gone, the dread of the void that underlies every life.
Under hypnosis a man given a foul-tasting substance can be persuaded that he is drinking vintage Champagne, pronouncing it delicious. Crumb knows what he is being offered. A hatred of modern popular culture runs like a leitmotiv through his work. A strip entitled Where Has It Gone, All The Beautiful Music Of Our Grandparents? shows a family group sitting in a beautifully realised domestic interior of about the 1930s, entertaining themselves with a guitar, accordion and violin. They are not presented, as they would be anywhere else, as artless yokels for us to laugh at. They are among the last people in the western world who possess a popular culture that is truly their own and which expresses the collective soul of the people ...before entertainment was piped into every living-room in the land by a centralised agency. Like savages duped into exchanging their birthright for a few trinkets and gewgaws, we have renounced a 2,000-year civilisation for a standardised, international, electronically-disseminated moron culture.
People who have acquiesced in their own deception do not like to have the fact pointed out to them and it is unsurprising that Crumb's disenchantment with modern culture should have earned him a great deal of opprobrium. So often accused of being a backward-looking curmudgeon, the reverse is true. He is a visionary idealist of the first order. Over the years he has rejected many offers of marketing deals and suchlike that would, presumably, have made him a rich man. He rejected them, it seems to me, not only from principled objections but ...what is even more admirable... a genuine unworldliness and lack of avarice. He has overcome disadvantages of temperament and upbringing. He demonstrates how it is possible for a sensitive, intelligent man to survive in a world hell-bent on stupidity and barbarism. He has been mercilessly self-aware and honest about himself. There is a kind of heroism in such a life. Perhaps even a touch of saintliness.

MARK TWAIN RIVERBOAT: GENERAL STATISTICS
Attraction Type: Steamboat
Designer: Walt Disney Imagineering
Music: "Down in New Orleans" - Country-style background music
The Mark Twain Riverboat is an attraction, located at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, on which passengers embark on a scenic, 12-minute journey around the Rivers of America. Originally named the Mark Twain Steamboat when the park opened in 1955, the stately, 5/8-scale stern-wheeler was the first functional riverboat to be built in the United States for fifty years. Other Disney riverboat attractions now appear at Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.
THE DISNEYLAND SHIP'S WHEELHOUSE
Passengers wait for the 150-ton, 28-foot-high (8.5 m), 105-foot-long (32 m) riverboat, which departs every 25 minutes, inside a sheltered area located in the Frontierland section of the park. The waiting area is made to resemble a real riverboat loading area, with cargo deliveries sharing space on the dock. Historic United States flags are displayed at the attraction's entrance.
Upon boarding Mark Twain, passengers are free to move about her three levels. The lower deck's bow has chairs, the only seating on board. The upper deck provides a vantage point for viewing landmarks throughout the voyage.
The wheelhouse, where Mark Twain's pilot is stationed, is also located on the upper deck. The lower level of the wheelhouse features a sleeping area and a sink to maintain the illusion of this being the captain's living quarters. At the pilot's discretion, a small number of passengers may be given permission to ride in the wheelhouse for the voyage, after which they are presented with souvenir Pilot Certificates.
SIGHTS TO SEE
The pilot signals the departure and arrival of the Mark Twain using a horn and bell system, along with various signals to other river craft attractions. Because the riverboat travels along an I-beam guide rail throughout the ride, the pilot does not maneuver the ship. Instead, the pilot serves as lookout for other river traffic, such as Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes and the Rafts to Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, and communicates his observations with the boiler engineer. The boiler engineer is stationed on the bottom deck towards the stern. This is where the throttle and reverser are located. From here, the boiler engineer controls the speed and direction of the riverboat. Steam from the boiler is used to power the paddle wheels and thus pushes the craft along its guide-way.
The voyage on the Rivers of America around Tom Sawyer Island features pre-recorded narration by a riverboat guide voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft, another actor portraying Mark Twain, who speaks of his days piloting a riverboat, and by the (not present) "captain" of the ship, voiced by Disney voice actor Stephen Stanton. The narration playback, operated by the pilot via a control panel in the pilot house, points out the following sights:
•Haunted Mansion
•Splash Mountain
•Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes landing
•Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island
•Settler's cabin (formerly the Burning settler's cabin, but no longer aflame in Disneyland)
•Indian Chief, raising hand in welcome
•Indian Village
•Big Thunder Mountain
•Sacred Indian burial ground
•Animals and abandoned mine cars
•Big Thunder Falls
On most days, Mark Twain begins operation as soon the park opens. On days when Fantasmic! is being performed, the riverboat, which plays a role in the show, will close a couple of hours before showtime. On other nights, Mark Twain will run through the evening, using a high intensity rooftop spotlight to point out sights, with the final trip beginning about thirty minutes before park closing. A sign at the loading area will list the day's last trip.
FORMER SIGHTS
There are a few former sights that the boat passed along the river. The Burning Settler's Cabin which used propane to simulate burning was one. The pipe that fed propane to the burner failed in the early 2000s and has not been relit. There were plans in 2007 to replace the failed feed and again have the cabin burn. However, the Pirate's Lair at Tom Sawyer Island modifications affected these plans. As of now, the burn marks have been removed, the holes patched and the area cleaned up. The front lawn area now has a table, picnic-like decorations and clothes on a clothes line. What makes this odd is while the rest of Tom Sawyer Island appears as if it has been invaded by pirates, this part of the island is the only thing not pirate themed.
Along with the Cabin, the Gullywhumper, one of Disneyland's extinct Keel Boats is now scenery along the river's bank. A Mine Train from the Old Nature's Wonderland attraction is also used as scenery. The Mine Train is on its original track and used to border Cascade Peak, a man-made fiberglass hill complete with waterfall which was bulldozed in 1998. The train was removed in June 2010 for restoration. Also, one of the rafts to Tom Sawyer's Island was marooned just in front of the no longer burning cabin and is now scenery.
HISTORY
A Mississippi steamboat was included in the plans for the first Disney amusement park that was to be built across the street from his Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Although this park was abandoned in favor of the much larger Disneyland, the plan for having a riverboat attraction was retained.
Because Mark Twain was the first functional paddlewheeler built in the United States in fifty years, the WED designers conducted extensive research to build it like riverboats were built in the heyday of steam powered ships. The decks were assembled at the Disney Studios at Burbank, while the 105-foot hull was constructed at Todd Pacific Shipyards in San Pedro, California (where the Columbia's hull was built years later).
Joe Fowler, Disneyland's construction supervisor and a former navy admiral, insisted on creating a drydock for the ship along what was to be the Rivers of America. Walt Disney, dismayed at how much land was taken up by the massive excavation, referred to the dry dock first as "Joe's Ditch", and then later, "Fowler's Harbor", the name by which it goes by today. However, Disney remained a supporter of the riverboat itself, funding its construction out of his own pocket when corporate funds fell short.
On the first "fill-the-river" day, the water that was pumped into the Rivers of America soaked through the riverbed. Fowler quickly found a supply of clay to replace the soil stabilizer used to line the river, and the second "fill-the-river" day was successful.
The Mark Twain had her maiden voyage on July 13, 1955, four days before the park officially opened, for a private party celebrating Walt and Lillian Disney's 30th wedding anniversary. Before the party, as Fowler was checking to make sure everything would be ready for the 300 invited guests, he found Lillian sweeping the decks of debris and joined in to help her.
Disneyland's opening day brought further problems for Mark Twain. Actress Irene Dunne, star of the movie Showboat, had trouble breaking a bottle of water (from many major American rivers) across the vessel's bow for her christening on Dateline Disney. During the riverboat's first official voyage, when the crowd moved to one side of the boat to view a passing scene of an Indian encampment or other sight, the boat would list from the side and water poured over the deck, as no one had determined Mark Twain's maximum safe passenger capacity.
This oversight caused the Mark Twain to almost capsize on a voyage a few days later when ride operators continued to wave more than 500 guests on board until the deck neared the water line. As the ship traversed the sparsely vegetated river route, it came loose from its track and got stuck in the muddy banks. Immediately, the park established a maximum capacity of 300 passengers, which remains in effect today.
After a rough start, Mark Twain has had a successful 50-year-career as a theme park attraction. During its first few years of operation, passengers could buy a non-alcoholic mint julep aboard or listen to card and checker players re-enact dialogue of that era. Occasionally the Disneyland band would play music on the lower deck bow to entertain both the passengers and the theme park visitors on the river banks.
Mark Twain underwent a major refurbishment during the Spring of 1995, during which all the decks and the boiler were replaced. September 24, 1995 saw the first and only Disney Fantasyland Wedding, to this day, to be held on an attraction, in theme clothing. A local Orange County couple, Kevin and Patricia Sullivan exchanged vows on the bow of the boat as she circled the Rivers of America. The groom's father Ed Sullivan, a 50 year Disney veteran, donned the classic Mark Twain costume for the once in a lifetime ceremony. The couple sealed their vows by pulling the ships steam whistle together. From atop the upper most deck, the couple let loose ropes, unfurling a ship sized JUST MARRIED banner across the stern.
When the Rivers of America was drained in 2002, the boat was noted to have considerable hull damage. It underwent a refurbishment in 2004 to repair the hull, which included replacing the keel. For the park's 50th Anniversary celebration in 2005, a new, more colorful paint job was applied to the durable riverboat. To celebrate the 2009 release of The Princess and the Frog, the riverboat has been used as a stage for a show that will be based on the movie.

On second thought, let's not go to my desk. Tis a silly place.
(I happened to be sharing space with the Excalibur team, who decided to decorate appropriately - complete with sword as a standup token.)
They need the space so I had to move shortly afterwards.

Four African lion cubs took a brisk paddle at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo today and passed their swim reliability test. The cubs—three males and one female—were born at the Zoo March 2. All cubs born at the Great Cats exhibit must undergo the swim reliability test and prove that they are ready to be on exhibit. All four cats were able to keep their heads above water, navigate to the shallow end of the moat and climb onto dry land. Now that they have passed this critical step, the cubs are one step closer to being ready to explore the yard with their mother, 9-year-old Shera. The 10-week-old cubs will make their public debut in mid-June once all vaccinations have been administered.
“As keepers, it’s our duty to take every precaution to ensure the cubs’ survival,” said Kristen Clark, an animal keeper at the Great Cats exhibit. “It’s possible that a cub could be playing around and get knocked into the moat by a parent or sibling. We want to make sure that if they find themselves in that situation, they know how to pull themselves out of the water and onto shore.”
Both cubs took the test under Clark’s guard, as she gently guided them in the right direction. The shallow end of the moat is approximately 2 ½ feet deep, which could present an obstacle for young cats. The side of the moat closest to the public viewing area is about 9 feet deep and is an essential safety barrier that effectively keeps the cats inside their enclosure.
In an adjacent exhibit, the two lion cubs born to mother Nababiep Jan. 24 explored their outdoor enclosure after passing their swim test in April. Starting Friday, May 9, keepers will decide on a day-to-day basis whether Naba’s two cubs will spend time in the yard from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This decision will be based on weather and how the cubs adjust to being outdoors. The Zoo will continue to share the latest updates and photos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The Zoo received a recommendation to breed the lions from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for African lions. An SSP matches individual animals across the country for breeding in order to maintain a healthy, genetically diverse and self-sustaining population. Luke, the Zoo’s 8-year-old male lion, sired all six cubs. The next step in building a pride at the Zoo is to introduce all nine lions into the same shared space. The first meeting between them took place April 24 and was captured on video.
“Introductions are always tense the first time you do them, but we always try to build on positive behaviors we’ve seen in the past,” said Rebecca Stites, an animal keeper at the Great Cats exhibit. “All lions seemed interested in one another and their interactions were positive during “howdy door” and face-to-face meetings. We’re gradually increasing the amount of time that the pride is together behind the scenes. Our hope is that they will all be on exhibit as one pride this summer.”
The pride social structure makes lions unique among the great cats, many of which are solitary animals. African lion populations in the wild have dwindled by 30 percent during the past 20 years as a result of poaching, disease and habitat loss. They are considered a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
