give me that pilot chart, there is a time to sweat and to be there and a time to watch the edelweisses.
Where ever Cina curls up for a nap, you're sure to find Ava. She lets Cina get settled and then creeps in and cuddles up to her.
49. Water Pitcher (Leopard Aquamanile)
Perry H. McGowan, Friends of Life
From the bronze Benin leopard, water imbued with
ancestral spirits is ceremonially poured to cleanse royal
hands. This arrangement embodies gratitude for the lives
of those we have lost, and honors those heartfelt spirits that
continue to cleanse us daily.

Look at those tidy cables! As short as I can make them, without any binding as I turn the bar all the way to each side.
I was on my break at work, and when i look up these guys were cleaning the window and balconies of the building, 22 floors above, the swing from side to side in ropes with is absolutely, incredible, i took this with my phone so the quality is not good, but i wish i have had my cam with me, the sky reflected in those glass balconies beautiful, could not capture it with this...
For those of you that guessed Turk & Fillmore Streets, you are correct! This image was taken by the URR Photographer, John Henry Mentz (Harry) of the United Railroads Turk & Fillmore St Sub-Station on November 11, 1907. The wrought iron arches were put up to enhance the Fillmore St as a shopping district, they also lit up the intersections at night. The arches were taken down in 1942 to be used as scrap metal for WWII. Check out this image and others at street level on our Historypin channel at www.historypin.com/sfmta
la Nativité de la Vierge, Châtelneuf, département du Jura
It was a stunningly bright day in August 2003, and I cycled up from the Chalain shore through the forests of Fontenu, and out into the pastures around Loulle. Distant bells called lazily as the brown cows mooched across the rolling fields, and buzzards floated in the heat above. I climbed up through more forests, the smell of pine intense in the 35 degree heat, and I heard the tower of Loulle church calling the angelus through the trees from the valley floor.
I came out into wide meadows that stretched for miles beneath the mountains. Impossibly pretty villages clustered around spires and towers in the distance. Beyond le Vaudioux the road climbed again, and at a dog-leg turn above the trees I stopped to look at my map. I had climbed almost a thousand feet in the two hours since leaving the lakeside, and drunk almost two litres of water. This was a lonely road; the land fell away on both sides as the ridge climbed eastwards. Near a crossroads there was a little calvary, which I stopped and photographed. Inside, the Mother of God waited patiently beside a vase of fresh flowers.
Châtelneuf is the largest village for miles, but was sleepy and silent on this hot afternoon. Carved out of the ridge, its roads describe strange curves between the houses that sit high above and the main road below, but both roads come together beyond, and here was the church. For the first time in nearly half an hour a car passed me.
The glazed tiles of the cupola shimmered in the sunlight. A tap by the churchyard gate proclaimed itself eau potable, so I refilled my bottle and stepped gratefully into the cool interior.
The silent inside was lovely. Everything was neat and cared for. The church has some of those curiously high benches, and the sanctuary beyond glowed with colour. Two touches were delightfully human; a 19th century painting of the birth of the Blessed Virgin shows the tired Sainte-Anne being brought a welcome cup of tea, and beyond this a group of religious statues had been arranged as if they were having a conversation at a cocktail party. I almost expected Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc to arrive with a tray of canapes.
The high gothic window to the east is actually 19th century, I think, but it fills the chancel with light and makes this church uncommonly beautiful.
Those About to Die Salute You, a battle on water wielded with baguette swords and watermelon cannon balls by New York’s art dignitaries, took place on Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 6 pm in a flooded World’s Fair-era reflecting pool in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, just outside of the Queens Museum of Art. Various types of vessels were designed and constructed by artist provocateur Duke Riley and his collaborators: the galleons, some made of reeds harvested in the park, will be used to stage a citywide battle of the art museums in which representatives from the Queens Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and El Museo del Barrio battled before a toga-clad crowd of frenzied onlookers. The event is free and open to public. Dress code: Toga. Live music by Hell-Bent Hooker. Beverages will be served. RAIN OR SHINE.

Duke Riley has always been interested in the space where water meets land within the urban landscape and is known for art work that is an idiosyncratic mix of performance art, sailor’s craft and historical re-enactment. Upon QMA’s invitation for an artist residency, Riley’s life-long fascination with the culture and topography of waterfronts, and proclivity for margins - of society, history, etc. - were immediately focused on the decommissioned World’s Fair Ice Rink adjacent to the museum. The sight of the vast oval arena, a sea of refrigeration tubing and white sand, brought an instant association with ancient Roman coliseums that were flooded to stage violent naval battles or Naumachia for the delight of spectators in the Empire’s effort to distract the masses from societal collapse by indulging them with free bread and extravagant spectacle.
Duke Riley: Those about to Die Salute You is part of the Launch Pad Artist-in-Residence Program.
Launch Pad is supported with grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, The Greenwall Foundation, and Cowles Charitable Trust. Additional funding provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York State Council on the Arts.

"Vielleicht mache ich ein Cover von All Along the Watchtower." sagt Shashaa. "Der Song ist echt der Hammer. Und je öfter ich ihn anhöre – und er lief ja hier die letzte Zeit in Endlosschleife – desto mehr packt mich der Text. The Joker and the thief – genau das ist es!
In dem Song geht es um zwei Typen, die sind genau wie mein Vater und dieser Ali. Ich mein, die haben harte Zeiten durchgemacht, wer hat das nicht? Sie hatten Träume, Buufis, und sie haben es in ihr Land der Träume, in die USA geschafft.
Dieser Ali musste sogar nicht mal etwas dafür tun! Der wurde ausgelost im Dadaab Camp, man kann also sagen, der hat sein Visum im Lotto gewonnen. Aber die USA sind eben nicht Jannah, das Paradies, nein, da muss man auch arbeiten für sein Geld.
Im Song reden die mit den Leuten, ja, das Leben ist hart, das wissen wir. Aber nicht für uns, damit sind wir fertig. Und dann werden sie zu apokalyptischen Reitern, weil sie was besseres sein wollen als die anderen Leute.
Ich mein, ich bin ja auch anders als die anderen Leute, es ist nun wirklich nicht jeder ein Superstar. Aber ich kann was, ich kann singen. Ich gebe den Menschen was.
Aber solche Typen, die können gar nix. Ja, mei, dann muss man halt im Lager arbeiten oder Uber-Fahrer werden oder Pizza Service. Whatever.
Dieser Ali hatte in Dadaab eine Frau und zwei kleine Kinder, die er versprach nachzuholen. Nee, was macht der? Er wird Gangster. Kommt sich vor wie Al Capone, aber ist nix wie eine miese kleine Ratte, ein kleiner Drogendealer, ein Krimineller. Frau und Kinder hat er sitzen lassen, total vergessen.
Und meinem Vater hat er das Gehirn gewaschen. Es reicht ja nicht, dass er ihn süchtig gemacht hat. Die belügen sich selbst!
Unsere Familie war ja schon da, als dieser Ali aufkreuzte. Mein Vater würde auch niemals meine Mutter verlassen, sie kocht und wäscht für ihn, das ist zu bequem.
So sind auch der Joker und der Dieb in dem Song, stellvertretend für all diese Scheiß-Männer, die ihr Leben nicht auf die Reihe kriegen. Du fragst dich, wie man so pervers sein kann, in den Krieg zu ziehen und Leute abzuschlachten? Was in deren Köpfen vorgeht? Und warum die immer mehr werden? Es sind genau solche! Egal ob IDF, Blackwater oder Escobar.
Der Text ist ja von Bob Dylan. Das ist ein alter Mann, den hab ich mal bei den Grammys gesehen. Die sagten, er hat auch den Nobelpreis bekommen. Also, dem seine Lyrics sind auch absolut genial. Aber ich hab mir seine Original-Version von All Along the Watchtower angehört. Bob Dylan singt nicht gut. Seine Stimme ist markant, aber nicht melodisch.
Was den Song zu diesem Highlight macht, zu einem der besten Songs ever, ist die Gitarre von Jimi Hendrix.
Haa, und da wird's schwierig mit Cover. Eigentlich sollte ich den Gitarrenpart singen, mit dem Text, nee, geht ja nicht… ich hab auch geguckt, es gibt erstaunlich wenig Cover davon. Eins ist nicht schlecht, eine Deephouse-Version, da ist aber Hendrix' Gitarre reingesampelt.
Mal sehen, was Steve dazu sagt, wenn er sich mal wieder einkriegt."

Eh, just playing around with random tools.
I do NOT smoke. It's just tricks and props. You can still be awesome without the drugs and drink people!
sadly this young roe buck looks to have problems!..he also has lumps below both both rear hocks - that said he moved beautifully, below the shot when he spotted Moss lying waiting for me on the path
I remember when I was a teenager I use to buy a 40 oz. for $1.75 at a local liquor store... I thought I was cool not knowing I was drinking crap! damn the mind of a young man..
