Manuscript title: Johannes Cassianus, Collationes Patrum
Manuscript summary: This copy of Cassian's Collationes contains on 1r a two-line ownership note attributing the codex to Abbot Berchtold of Engelberg (1178-1197) as well as the beginning of a dedicatory poem to the Virgin Mary, the monastery's patron saint. Both inscriptions also appear verbatim in the volumes that were written under Berchtold's predecessor Frowin (1143-1178). Decorated initials introduce each of the collationes, and sometimes the chapter-lists; between the collationes the text is divided with red decorated capitals. Tears and holes in the parchment have been artistically sewn up; of particular note are those on 48v and 190v.
Origin: Engelberg (Switzerland)
Period: 12th century
Image source: Engelberg, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 37: Johannes Cassianus, Collationes Patrum (www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/list/one/bke/0037).
I still haven't been able to put this lens through its paces. I'm looking forward to building my portrait experience, and hopefully this tool will give me the confidence to take it to the next level. Yes, I'm a gear whore, but who cares. This is a happy medium from the real cream machine, haha.

The Sunday school of the Third Moravian Church of Philadelphia used share certificates like this to raise funds for the purchase of a church bell. The sale of all 2,500 shares at 10 cents each would have raised $250, and perhaps that would have covered the cost of a bell in the 1870s, which is when these certificates were issued.
For another nineteenth-century fundraising strategy that involved buying bricks rather than shares, see The Owner of This Card Has Purchased One Brick in the People's Church, Boston, Mass., ca. 1880 (below). And for a more recent fundraiser, see Buy a Block, Benefit of the Longfellow Community Building (below).

This is to certify that John Diehne is entitled to one shares in the bell of the Third Moravian Church at Harrogate, Philadelphia.

This is a finely illuminated and iconographically rich Book of Hours, made in England at the end of the thirteenth century. The manuscript is incomplete and misbound. Its main artist can also be found at work in a Bible, Oxford, Bodleian Library Ms. Auct. D.3.2, and a Psalter, Cambridge, Trinity College Cambridge Ms. O.4.16. The manuscript contains a number of unusual texts including the Hours of Jesus Crucified, and the Office of St. Catherine. The patron of the manuscript is not clear: a woman is depicted as praying in many of the initials, but rubrics in the Office of the Dead mention "freres". The imagery is marvellously inventive, and the Hours of Christ Crucified are graced with images depicting the Funeral of Reynard the Fox in its margins. In the absence of a Calendar, it is not possible to locate the origin of the manuscript precisely.

Detail of a retired harbour crane on the bank of the river Main in Frankfurt. A remarkable beast. I tweaked lighting and contrast, but the colour is as-shot.
That's right, in a recent column, NY Times 'writer' Sonia Zjawinski advocates her readers steal your photos from flickr to fill up empty space on their walls
gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/flickr-as-an-inte...
I highly encourage you all to comment on the article letting Sonia know what you think about her advice.
You could also ask the Time's Assisting Managing Editor if this is the official policy of the paper or a practice she endorses.

and please...by all means, copy this image and as much of the text as you want for your own personal use.
A former Circuit City store built in 1997. I am not sure if the produce place is still open in the summer.
The Eastland Center in Harper Woods, MI was built in 1957 and originally featured a 432,000 sqaure foot Hudson's Department Store. The "J.L. Hudson Co." developed the mall solely as a place for one of their stores to anchor. Over the years other anchor stores were added such as JCPenney (later Sears / now vacant), MainStreet (later Kohl's / demolished for Target), and Montgomery Ward (later Steve & Barry's / now Shoppers World). The Hudson's store later became Marshall Field's and now is currently Macy's (the third level of the store has been closed and the fourth floor is just offices). Today the mall is 1,415,557 square feet.

Like it? It's yours for the right price. If no one saves it, it'll be landfill when the building is purchased and bulldozed. I'd take it in a heartbeat, but it's far too large for my property. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it's about 8 or 10 feet across, and somewhere between 15 and 20 feet high. A lot of the neon tubing is intact, but as far as I know, it's not working. I'm someone could restore it, if interested.
It'd be a shame to see it crushed and discarded.
UPDATE: As of Nov 25th, the sign has been removed, and is on it's way to it's new owner in North Dakota. (A sign collector) I'm proud that I could help save this sign.
Just to let you all know I'm still alive (not that you were worried).
We got our new computer yesterday but it doesn't have Photoshop or anything on it, so this is a really old picture (taken at the Grand Canyon!) that I edited using Picnik.com.
Soon I will be back to normal. SOON. I hope.
I've been tagged by two amazing people, Marshay and Emma, to write ten of my favorite song lyrics. Unfortunately I could never choose my favorites, so I will just say lyrics I love a lot. ;)
8. And the truest sign of grace was this: from wounded hands redemption fell down, liberating man.
10. Love is not a victory march; it's a cold, and it's a broken, "hallelujah."

Spotted this one during one of my explores in an old swimmingpool. The text on the bin is in dutch, it means "paper". Just love the loneliness in it…The fact that it's just hanging there with no purpose what so ever...

A wall with graffiti in Harajuku. Stenciled at the bottom of the wall is the text:
Importance of Existence
GRAFFITI SPACE
This Wall is Unapproved
But It Can Be Painted
Not sure exactly what it means, but it sounds like a support of graffiti.
This sign made me smile!
