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.

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

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.
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).

2,500 shares. 10 cents each.
This is to certify that John Diehne is entitled to one shares in the bell of the Third Moravian Church at Harrogate, Philadelphia.

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.

get on it people!
and please...by all means, copy this image and as much of the text as you want for your own personal use.
I always carry a small watercolour set on my travels but I've never kept drawing journal when at home. But now I'm really getting into keeping a small journal and I've bought a new full-pan paint set! I may have to replace a couple of colours later...
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.
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.

Eu não sei se pode, mas criei um "Keep Calm" para fãs de Amigurumi!
I don't know if this is ok, but I created a "Keep Calm" for Amigurumi fans. If it's not okay, I'll just delete it, no problem.
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."
“The Moon and the Planets” contains 40 double-page and fold-out plates featuring the work by space artist Ludek Pesek. It was his first publication. Ludek Pesek (1919-1999) was born in Kladno in what is now the Czech Republic. He produced his first artwork around the age of 19 and, later, attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. His art first reached US readers through the National Geographic Magazine which commissioned him to do a series of works about Mars. Previous to the Mars article he had painted 15 scenes for an article called “Journey to the Planets” in August 1970. He produced several 360-degree panoramas for projection in the domes of the planetariums at Stuttgart, Winnipeg and Lucerne, and has exhibited in Washington, DC, Boston, Nashville, Stuttgart, Berne, Lucerne, Zurich, and other venues. The asteroid 6584 Ludek Pesek is named for him and his work is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.

Goal:
Annual Report Cover
Direction:
Our Spring Issue of our quarterly magazine is the church's annual report. We design 18 pages of info graphics and statistics to show the church our status with church growth, giving, outreach, campus life, expansion and media. The remaining 30 pages follow the same format of our normal magazine which covers life change, outreach partners and initiatives, staff spotlight and other events of the past quarter. We used a silver metallic ink for the background grey, with a matte light grey and white on the map and the white text respectively. It gave the cover a nice 'pop' without feeling too gaudy.
Other Important Information:
We worked with our web team to develop an interactive version of the Annual Report, along with a downloadable PDF. You can find it here.
Een sarcofaag is een - doorgaans - stenen kist waarin menselijke stoffelijke resten worden bewaard. Het gaat hierbij specifiek om overblijfselen als gevolg van begraven, en niet van cremeren. In het laatste geval wordt de houder van de resten een urn genoemd. Sarcofagen worden al eeuwenlang en door vele culturen gebruikt. Ze hebben derhalve talloze verschijningsvormen en zijn vaak aan de buitenkant, maar ook wel aan de binnenkant, voorzien van decoraties en inscripties.
Sarcophagus (plural, sarcophagi; sarcophaguses) is a box-like funeral receptacle for a corpse, most commonly carved in stone, and displayed above ground, though it may also be buried. The word "sarcophagus" comes from the Greek σάρξ sarx meaning "flesh", and φαγεῖν phagein meaning "to eat", hence sarcophagus means "flesh-eating"; from the phrase lithos sarkophagos (λίθος σαρκοφάγος). Since lithos is Greek for "stone", lithos sarcophagos means "flesh-eating stone". The word also came to refer to a particular kind of limestone that was thought to decompose the flesh of corpses interred with it.
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...

Regular visitors to this stream will know that I'm involved in an ongoing project with the poet and writer Sophie Mayer, published in Vertigo, a great independent film magazine. We call the project 'Filmgrimage', because it's a pilgrimage to the sites of a film.
In this Filmgrimage, we visited Paris, looking for traces of films shot there by Jean-Luc Godard and Agnes Varda, during the French New Wave. We found these images on Rue Premiere Campagne – the road where Jean-Paul Belmondo's character dies in A Bout De Souffle.....
Please check out the magazine if you want to know more – it's a great read if you're interested in film & visual arts generally!
