this was a simple piece which i paint with bang(italy) and gizmo(Iceland) in 798 art zone ~ 798 is one of the most nice place for graffiti in beijing (also in CHINA i think ).At first ,this place not allowed graffiti stuff . after our unremitting efforts ( paint and paint and paint ……).The security of 798 finally forced to accept graffiti ……and . this piece was tagged by a hater later that month.
1. I am thankful for clean windows!!
2. I am thankful for finally finding a word for when I really want to take a photograph but am too shy to bring out my camera or don’t want to miss the moment by fiddling. The term is unphotographable.
3. I am thankful for finally ordering an external hard drive to back up all of my files, at once, in one place. Thanks Joe of answering my query. :)
4. I am thankful for Tim Brownson’s requirements and offering of free life coaching because it helped to sift through my life where I have shown commitment to making improvements and see that I do work really hard to do and be better .. and I’m not near as flaky as I had thought I was. To write something where the thoughts need to be more cohesive is also very good practise, especially since it had a deadline. Asking for and allowing something good that I would like is also important forward movement for me. Interesting thing about Tim is that he is one of those people that I kept coming across several times a week for a few weeks. He also co-authored an interesting, entertaining and useful book How to be Rich and Happy I came across a few times. I don’t know about the title but the book looks good. Update: I submitted the first story and made the top six out of twenty-eight. The next part was to pare the 1000 word essay down to under 350 words. The 350 word story will be printed with the other five entries this Friday for readers of Tim’s blog to vote. I can hardly wait to read all of the stories! :) Submitting a story was a huge hurdle for me because in the past I have been so insecure about my writing abilities I would write something but get frustrated and just give up even if I believed the story I had to tell was worthy of mention. Tim also left some very tasty bread crumbs in the form of helpful links so whether my story is chosen or not I am still learning and growing heaps .. and that my dears is certainly something to be thankful for! ;) [Noter bien: if you are offended by swearing, following any of the links in this gratitude point may not be your cup of tea.]
5. I am thankful for being challenged on how I write my gratitude lists because it is helping me to communicate more concisely, further differentiate between myself and my work and helped me to finish a medium sized artwork that I had began weeks ago. In the finishing of the piece I was able to work through why my artwork and writing are so dense and involved. I know my artwork and writing is not for everyone, to look at it and connect with takes a certain personal time commitment on the part of the viewer. The work is not particularly accessible because there is a lot of writing in a small amount of space. My hope is that the reader/viewer will be rewarded with some connection they were able to make with their thoughts and hopes to another person to feel more connected to another. Or something to that effect.
6. I am thankful that I made the choice to stop avoiding making art by returning to university.
7. I am thankful that P sent this article this week 60 second health and fitness boosters - this is perfect because I have been working on creating better balance between work and exercise. Everything just goes so much better when I get enough exercise.
8. I am thankful for getting a bunch of administration work done this week. I had been letting it hang over my head for over a month.
9. I am thankful for the cool serendipity this week, specifically the Salvation Army Thrift Store pick up truck parked outside my office window and getting up to get something from the desk at just the right time. I was able to give a couple huge bags of clothes and some house hold items. The guy even came up to get some extra things so I didn’t have to go back out in the cold and wind .. I forgot to ask his name unfortunately. He told me that you can phone the store and they go out to pick things up Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am so thankful to get the things to people who can put them to use instead of sitting in a corner or closet AND that someone came to my door and took them away. I felt so much lighter and almost giddy afterward, so much so that I could barely sit still to work! Today as I was tidying up I thought of a bunch of other items in boxes that can go to better homes. For a while now I have been consciously culling my life of things (and ideas) that I don’t really enjoy or use anymore. I am often amazed at what I find that I have hung onto for YEARS and find that the reason I had kept it has long since expired. Out it goes! :) The more I cull the more I enjoy what I do have .. because I can actually see and experience it!
10. I am thankful for the first day of snow because traffic is slower, people are kinder, friendlier and more helpful of neighbours. I also like that the snow buffers traffic sounds and loud stereo people tend to stay home. That said, I am also glad that the clouds parted and let the sun shine in my window this evening! :) I am also thankful for the men and women that work with the city, Wascana Centre Authority and everyone else on the entire planet that clears walkways!! :)
11. I am thankful for getting bread and some peanut butter oatmeal cookies made this evening. I was down to my last crust of bread. Tomorrow’s mission; foraging for fresh food and dried legumes! :)
12. I am thankful for getting better at making check lists of things that I want done and assigning due dates to myself because it allows me to be better directed and see that I have actually done some stuff and the part of my brain that tells me I don’t do nearly enough can relax! I had my first official staff meeting with myself this week. I found it useful because it enabled me to look at what I am doing from different perspectives. One perspective as the boss in charge of direction and making sure the work gets done and another perspective as the worker who is sometimes temperamental and just doesn’t dang well feel like doing the work. During the staff meeting I ask myself the questions of Why I do the thing I do? How I choose to do the thing I do? and What exactly is it that I do? and was surprised to learn some things about how Me Inc. versus how Monique does things.
13. I am thankful that although sometimes thinking about the things (and people) that I am thankful for delays sleep, I always wake up feeling refreshed and in a good mood. Gratitude lists are such fascinating things, once you get into the habit they sort of permeate throughout your entire life. Speaking the day’s list has been one of the most important catalysts for change I have ever implemented in my life.
14. I watched this TED talk from Charlie Gilkey this afternoon and it is causing me to re-evaluate some of my choices. I am thankful for Charlie’s blog, I enjoy and connect with it more as the weeks go by.
15. I am thankful for remembering some important things this week. Mainly that no matter what seems to happen, good things always, always come of it.
16. Thank you for reading, have a delightful week .. unless you have other plans!? ;)

United Artists Theaters has its roots in the movie studio of the same name founded by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith, but legally has always been separate from it. Joseph Schenck was brought in to become UA's president in 1924; as part of the deal, Schenck entered into a partnership with Chaplin and Pickford to buy and construct theatres using UA's name. Over time, the chain became separate from the studio and by the 1970s was part of a larger company, United Artists Communications.
UAC was an early pioneer in cable television, and aggressively bought smaller regional systems. By the end of the 1980s, John Malone's Tele-Communications, Inc. was majority owner; on June 8, 1991, it purchased the remainder of the company. Then on February 19, 1992, TCI sold the theatre chain in a leveraged buyout led by Merrill Lynch Capital Partners Inc and UA management.
United Artists Theaters was purchased in the late 1940s by the Naify Brothers, who owned theatres in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their company up to this time was called Golden State Theatres. About this time they also acquired the San Francisco Theatres owned by Samuel H Levin. These theatres were the Balboa, Alexandria, Coliseum, Vogue Metro, the Harding, and Coronet, which was opened in 1949. The UA Theatres main office was in San Francisco until 1988 when it was sold to TCI . Regal entertainment group stands the second most expensive companies sitting at 25 billion dollars

Proyecto paisaje urbano en Tetuán
Plaza del poeta Leopoldo Luis, calles Matadero con Ángel Puech, Hierbabuena, Lope de Haro, Marqués de Viana, Almortas… Barrio de Tetuán, Madrid
Proyecto Tetuán para la mejora de paisaje urbano de Tetuán tiene como objeto desarrollar una experiencia para explorar las posibilidades de mejora del paisaje urbano mediante intervenciones de carácter artístico durante 2013. Esta acción se encuentra entre las recogidas en el Plan Estratégico de Cultura del Ayuntamiento de Madrid 2012-2015 (PECAM) y se inscribe dentro de las líneas encaminadas al fomento de la creatividad, la participación pública y la difusión en la mejora del paisaje urbano. El proyecto contempla, por tanto, dos ámbitos de trabajo: por un lado el orientado a los artistas y sus intervenciones y, por otro, las tareas de difusión y participación ciudadana.
Tras varias sesiones de trabajo abiertas llevadas a cabo durante este año, se generado un grupo de trabajo para la gestión compartida del proyecto del que forman parte: integrantes de Red de agentes culturales de Tetuán (entre los que se encuentran Moenia, Pkmn, Taller de Casquería, Mood Studio o Bea Burgos, de Aquí Tetuán) colectivos dedicados a la creación, la arquitectura o el paisajismo vinculados o interesados en trabajar en el distrito de Tetuán, como Estudio Montes, Pez Arquitectos, Ahora Arquitectura y La Galería Magdalena, representantes o agentes vecinales del barrio, agentes de la Dirección General de Paisaje Urbano, de la Junta Municipal de Distrito e Intermediae.
Tras desarrollar conjuntamente el proyecto y definir las actuaciones a llevar a cabo, el grupo de trabajo ha invitado a otros colectivos a implicarse en acciones concretas acompañadas por agentes vinculados al distrito de Tetuán que han participado en la definición del proyecto. Entre ellos Germinando, Perricac, La Fresquera, Basurama y Zuloark.
También forman parte del proyecto los artistas implicados en los muros artísticos gestionados por el equipo de la Dirección General de Paisaje Urbano testeando el funcionamiento de la Oficina de Gestión de Muros. Entre ellos se encuentran Suso 33, San, E1000, Spy y Borondo.
La propuesta global del proyecto se concreta en cuatro emplazamientos principales, definidos colectivamente y gracias a la colaboración de la junta municipal de distrito que elaboró el catalogo de solares de propiedad municipal, así como del Área de Urbanismo que facilitó la información sobre la calificación de los terrenos para elegir el lugar del Huerto: la Plaza Leopoldo Luis, el solar situado en la calle Nuestra Señora del Carmen, el solar de la calle López de Haro con Berruguete y el solar de calle Matadero con Ángel Puech. Cada emplazamiento agrupa las distintas intervenciones y colaboradores.
- La Plaza Leopoldo Luis: Intervienen Estudio Montes y Pez Arquitectos, Germinando y Perricac.
- El solar de calle Matadero con Ángel Puech: Intervienen Moenia, La Fresquera, La Galería Magadena y Mood Studio.
- El solar situado en la Calle Hierbabuena: Intervienen Pkmn y Taller de Casquería.
- El solar de la calle Lope de Haro: Intervienen Basurama y Zuloark.
- Además Aquí Tetuán, Bea Burgos, llevará a cabo la intervención “Ventanas a Tetuán” basado participación vecinal y la recuperación de la memoria del distrito. A través de las ventanas, metáforas de la memoria de los ciudadanos, el proyecto trata de recuperar el paisaje urbano que no está presente físicamente, o que tan solo se intuye a partir de ciertos elementos - una fuente, un ladrillo, una acera, un adoquín -pero sigue existiendo en la mente de los vecinos. Mood Studio y La Galería Magdalena llevarán a cabo la documentación del proyecto a través de fotografías, retratos de los vecinos e interacciones a pie de calle que generarán un material fotográfico que será expuesto a posteriori. Miguel Díaz de Ahora Arquitectura propone un programa de paseos donde encontramos de lugares desconocidos y un itinerario guiado desde un punto de vista urbano para mostrar las intervenciones realizadas, su desarrollo y su entorno.

Inmaculate through the years. This one is about WWII, It has even the inner paper, I was very fortunate this week to find this antique treasures.
Views of the old Central Illinois Ice Company Plant along the 10th St. railroad tracks. The plant opened in 1909 as the Stiffler Ice & Coal Co. John M. Striffler (1840-1919) was a leading businessman in the ice trade, and died one of the wealthiest men in Springfield. The plant was later renamed the Central Illinois Ice Company.

You are invited to stay and browse through my photostream. Here's a quick index to my Flickr site:
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "counrtyside") photographs are grouped by county.
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Automobile Photograph Collection: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.

La Entrada de los Comerciantes de la zona 16 de Julio de El Alto, se llevo a cabo el sábado 11 de julio en El Alto Bolivia.
I have a new plan of themes I want to share with you! Yes, I am super excited! I have put a lot of thought into it and hope it will be fun as well as give you a head start on shooting. Get inspired, be creative, show me your photography skills and the artist within. Remember when taking photos to position yourself at different angles from the focus of your shot (far-away, up-close, down-low and up-high). After all, we are afforded digital these days so why not practice, practice, practice. If you fill up your memory dump it on an external hard drive, send to online storage, or your laptop-PC hard drive. Also, experiment with varying degrees of light and shadow. A good tip for natural lighting is to use a window. If at all possible move your object near window light and test moving it in different places to see how each area is lit in the image by window light. Another good tip to bringing more light to an area is to use whiteboard or a white sheet near your subject or focus. Opposite if you wish to darken your area - use a black sheet, back drop or blackboard. Hope this helps. What are you waiting for? Go get shooting and brainstorming!

In the centre of Brentford, the Capital Ring sign directs you to the Grand Union Canal, with the Holiday Inn hotel in the background.
A mere 139 miles to Birmingham if you fancied walking the Grand Union Canal from here!

From the imaginary diary of a child
All they have killed. Now I have no papa.My little sister is burned. Mama, Mama she screamed. But not for very long. Mama cried a lot. Me too. Then we walked. Without shoes. I do not know, but very long,
Here they do not want to have us. You do not belong here. You are not one of us. Such things they say.
War should prohibit it, because without war, I would have a home. Mom and I would cry no longer

Maison & Objets is THE place to be if you want to develop your home object enterprise... or "was" the place to be... that's my point of view, but I am not sure I have time to develop, it is a long story... I was there last year, for another project, but it is also a long story... So, it is something unique to be there and to see so much creativity... everybody need to be seen, so everything is "design"... the products of course, but the way to present them, the logo, the font work, the brochure, the signage... even people are sooo fashion... it is simply too much for one day (probably the reason why the fair is 5 days long)... I was myself looking for some new products for coming www.mr-cup.com as well as some inspiration too... and to share it with you... Here come the things that I have prefered.
