Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things"
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away
Cheap Trick
Meeting of Generals Robert E Lee and Ulysses S Grant to discuss the surrender of Lee's army, the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9th, 1865.
Alric Bravin shakes his head, his fingernails digging into the fabric of the chair. Kade couldn't have done that. "I just don't think she'd endanger the twins like that," he says, his voice hollow. After her actions when she'd found out Fal was his, however, made it all the more plausible. "Dia, my ID may not be completely on the Up and Up, if you get my drift. I couldn't take a chance. Not when Fal's involved." He lets out another sigh and closes his eyes. "I guess I have no choice but to talk to her."
Fallon Claymore tips her head up, and says softly. "Fine. Forget the twins for a moment. She tried to have me arrested by the UAC. Does that matter to you at all? Do you know what the UAC has done to me Alric?" She caught her breath and bit her lip. "That has to matter to you a little." She almost sounded pleading. "And yes, Talk to her. That woman is Evil. Catfights over your bon rien behind aside." She was pulling away from him. His reaction, to fallon, said a good bit. "You know, Alric... I can solve this. I can fix it and she won't ever know it was spoken. I give up."
Dia Kuhn Licks his lips and looks directly at Alric. "Fallon pregnant wit ya babies. Dat prolly mean dat she looked at as a home wreckah, not ta mention da lub, time, attention an credits you gon be gibbin ta dese girls. We all animals, when it git boiled down, an females do wat dey got ta do sometimes ta git tid ob da competition." he sighs. "Fallon been through enough. We wasn't habin a big ol loud party. Why dat UAC Marine come knockin on my office do? Most ob da time I ain't eben IN me office but ten minutes at a time ....." He looks at Fallon with a concerned look. "I don know wat ya got on ya mind, but I doubt i like it, Fallon." he says. "Mebbe it .. safah if someone ELSE claim dem babies as deres .... an not yours, Alric ..." he suggests.
Alric Bravin whips his head around to Fal, his mouth agape and his eyes flashing in the light. "I meant Kade's feelings for you aside, she wouldn't hurt the twins. MY own personal feelings had nothing to do with that statement," he says, his voice strained and soft as he feels his chest tighten. It felt like it was trying to cave in on itself. "Jesus, Fal, don't do this to me. I can't handle that right now." He looks back over at Dia. "No."
Fallon Claymore says quietly, "She can have you. If my daughters lives are the cost of spending some time with you, no matter how I feel, It isn't worth it. Tell her you've broken it off with me. And you've sold me. Dia can take over ownership of me and the girls." Her face was expressionless, her voice even... But a tell tale color was rising in her cheeks despite her outward calm. "No ultimatums. She wins. Tell her I said she wins." Her eyes glittered slightly with unshed tears, and she looked upwards, blinking rapidly for a moment to keep them from falling. She wouldn't risk it happening again. She had to keep calm. She had to keep calm. Calm. Her heart rate sped up. "You love her. You love her first, and she loves you. I don't really fit in that picture, not with her. I can't risk she'll lash out again and I get hurt. If I get hurt, they do."
"Unconditional Surrender" is a 25-foot sculpture by Seward J. Johnson that brings to life a famous black and white image of a sailor kissing a young nurse in Times Square, New York City, on August 14, 1945. The image captures the spontaneous eruption of joy and euphoria that swept a war-weary nation when the public announcement was finally made that World War II was over.
The Queen's Window
The Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr John Hall, wanted to commission something to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom's longest-reigning monarch. David Hockney, one of the most influential British artists of this reign, was asked if he would undertake the commission to design a stained glass window in a space which was then of 19th-century blank glass.
David Hockney is a Royal Academician, and has been recognized with an Order of Merit and as a Companion of Honour but had never worked in stained glass.
The Dean's brief to Hockney was to provide something symbolic or representational of the subject, rather than a heraldic or figurative design, and for it to be recognisable as his work. Within a day of being offered the commission, Hockney sent the Dean a first-draft design.
Hockney's design depicts a country scene featuring hawthorn blossom and using his distinct colour palette of yellow, red, blue, pink, orange and greens. It follows on from his acclaimed Royal Academy exhibition A Bigger Picture (2012), a major exhibition of landscape paintings, collages and electronically-produced art depicting the landscape and flora of the East Riding of Yorkshire, near Hockney's birthplace, Bradford.
A Bigger Picture was notable for the inclusion of a number of works produced by Hockney on his iPad, and Hockney again used an iPad to design The Queen's Window. Hockney considered the iPad a natural design tool for this project because, like a stained-glass window, it’s back-lit.
Hockney was also inspired by the work of Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall, painters who also worked in stained glass.
The window reflects Queen Elizabeth II's interest and delight in the countryside, and is described by Hockney as "a celebration".

Stained glass artists and craftspeople at Barley Studio created the window using traditional techniques, working with the artist to translate his vision into glass. Barley Studio is a leading stained glass studio of over forty years based in York.
Helen Whittaker was primarily responsible for translating Hockney’s design to stained glass, and she made sure to preserve the natural, non-uniform lines of nature, captured by the artist in his design, in the final piece.
The vividly-coloured glass in the window was made by Glashütte Lamberts, Bavaria, who manufacture glass using traditional, hand-blowing techniques.
Barley Studio installed the window in the north transept of the Abbey in September 2018, and the window was dedicated by The Dean at a service on 2nd October 2018.

Westminster Abbey (The Collegiate Church of St Peter)
In the 1040s King Edward (later St Edward the Confessor) established his royal palace by the banks of the river Thames on land known as Thorney Island. Close by was a small Benedictine monastery founded under the patronage of King Edgar and St Dunstan around 960A.D. This monastery Edward chose to re-endow and greatly enlarge, building a large stone church in honour of St Peter the Apostle. This church became known as the "west minster" to distinguish it from St Paul's Cathedral (the east minster) in the City of London. Unfortunately, when the new church was consecrated on 28th December 1065 the King was too ill to attend and died a few days later. His mortal remains were entombed in front of the High Altar.
The only traces of Edward's monastery to be seen today are in the round arches and massive supporting columns of the undercroft and the Pyx Chamber in the cloisters. The undercroft was originally part of the domestic quarters of the monks. Among the most significant ceremonies that occurred in the Abbey at this period was the coronation of William the Conqueror on Christmas day 1066, and the "translation" or moving of King Edward's body to a new tomb a few years after his canonisation in 1161.
Edward's Abbey survived for two centuries until the middle of the 13th century when King Henry III decided to rebuild it in the new Gothic style of architecture. It was a great age for cathedrals: in France it saw the construction of Amiens, Evreux and Chartres and in England Canterbury, Winchester and Salisbury, to mention a few. Under the decree of the King of England, Westminster Abbey was designed to be not only a great monastery and place of worship, but also a place for the coronation and burial of monarchs. This church was consecrated on 13th October 1269. Unfortunately the king died before the nave could be completed so the older structure stood attached to the Gothic building for many years.
Every monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned in the Abbey, with the exception of Edward V and Edward VIII (who abdicated) who were never crowned. The ancient Coronation Chair can still be seen in the church.
It was natural that Henry III should wish to translate the body of the saintly Edward the Confessor into a more magnificent tomb behind the High Altar in his new church. This shrine survives and around it are buried a cluster of medieval kings and their consorts including Henry III, Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, Richard II and Anne of Bohemia and Henry V.
There are around 3,300 burials in the church and cloisters and many more memorials. The Abbey also contains over 600 monuments, and wall tablets – the most important collection of monumental sculpture anywhere in the country. Notable among the burials is the Unknown Warrior, whose grave, close to the west door, has become a place of pilgrimage. Heads of State who are visiting the country invariably come to lay a wreath at this grave.
A remarkable new addition to the Abbey was the glorious Lady chapel built by King Henry VII, first of the Tudor monarchs, which now bears his name. This has a spectacular fan-vaulted roof and the craftsmanship of Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiano can be seen in Henry's fine tomb. The chapel was consecrated on 19th February 1516. Since 1725 it has been associated with the Most Honourable Order of the Bath and the banners of the current Knights Grand Cross surround the walls. The Battle of Britain memorial window by Hugh Easton can be seen at the east end in the Royal Air Force chapel. A new stained glass window above this, by Alan Younger, and two flanking windows with a design in blue by Hughie O'Donoghue, give colour to this chapel.
Two centuries later a further addition was made to the Abbey when the western towers (left unfinished from medieval times) were completed in 1745, to a design by Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Little remains of the original medieval stained glass, once one of the Abbey's chief glories. Some 13th century panels can be seen in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries. The great west window and the rose window in the north transept date from the early 18th century but the remainder of the glass is from the 19th century onwards. The newest stained glass is in The Queen Elizabeth II window, designed by David Hockney.
History did not cease with the dissolution of the medieval monastery on 16th January 1540. The same year Henry VIII erected Westminster into a cathedral church with a bishop (Thomas Thirlby), a dean and twelve prebendaries (now known as Canons). The bishopric was surrendered on 29th March 1550 and the diocese was re-united with London, Westminster being made by Act of Parliament a cathedral church in the diocese of London. Mary I restored the Benedictine monastery in 1556 under Abbot John Feckenham.
But on the accession of Elizabeth I the religious houses revived by Mary were given by Parliament to the Crown and the Abbot and monks were removed in July 1559. Queen Elizabeth I, buried in the north aisle of Henry VII's chapel, refounded the Abbey by a charter dated 21 May 1560 as a Collegiate Church exempt from the jurisdiction of archbishops and bishops and with the Sovereign as its Visitor. Its Royal Peculiar status from 1534 was re-affirmed by the Queen and In place of the monastic community a collegiate body of a dean and prebendaries, minor canons and a lay staff was established and charged with the task of continuing the tradition of daily worship (for which a musical foundation of choristers, singing men and organist was provided) and with the education of forty Scholars who formed the nucleus of what is now Westminster School (one of the country's leading independent schools). In addition the Dean and Chapter were responsible for much of the civil government of Westminster, a role which was only fully relinquished in the early 20th century.

My life's philosophy: surrender. Surrender everything you have and all that you are to the one who made you and loves you, and experience life in the joy of Christ.
That's my life's philosophy.

This 25' cast aluminum sculpture certainly has an interesting history, both here in Sarasota as well as elsewhere. Plenty of details (some confusing to me) here.
Rather than an original work, this seems to be a copy of the famous "Life" magazine photo shot in Times Square on VJ Day. This has caused some difficulty for Sarasota, which apparently restricts public art display if it isn't original. There is a similar sculpture in Times Square that is protected by copyright. The sculptor, Seward Johnson, has claimed this is based on a different photo which is in the public domain.
One other thing... an out-of-control driver plowed into the sculpture in 2012, causing about $600,000 in damage. Seems like it's a permanent fixture here now, but, who knows?
Another rose motif from my current macro escapade with my new friend, my Panasonic Lumix (Hey they should make me a spokeman and give me free stuff). Took the same pink rose from one of my secretaries' desks and positioned it against a makeshift white background and pressed the shutter. I post processed with lightroom and PS CS 3 and CS 2 to achieve this acid washed watercolor feel.

This photo is in my mother's photo collection but not taken by her. It is actually a photo that you can find quite a lot on the internet. According to one page this photo was taken on 12th June 1945.
My mother was in the Queen Alexandra Royal Naval Nursing Service (QARNNS) in WWII. She was posted to Lisahally and was there in May 1945 when the german u-boats were surrendered.
