Toulouse, then known as Tolose, was an important Gallic city. It became part of the Roman Empire under the name of Tolosa. It was the capital of the province of Gallia Narbonensis, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. From the 4th century onward, Toulouse was the seat of the Archdiocese of Toulouse.
In 413, Toulouse became part of the Visigothic Kingdom. In 507, following the Visigoths' defeat by the Franks, the Visigothic kingdom of Toulouse came to an end. In 721, the city was unsuccessfully besieged by Arabs for several months. Upto 843, Toulouse was the seat of the Kingdom of Aquitaine, after which the independent County of Toulouse was established, a center of Languedoc culture.
In 1208 Pope Innocent III called for a crusade against the Albigensians, during which the city was plundered. In 1228, after a grueling and destructive war of almost 20 years, Raymond VII of Toulouse gave up resistance and signed the Treaty of Paris.
During the Renaissance, Toulouse was one of the wealthiest cities in France. Woad a plant that at the time provided the only stable blue dye, thrived well in the near Lauragais region. The city's dominant market position gradually ended after 1550, when the Portuguese began importing the more affordable indigo from their colonies.

The site of the museum originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
The museum, founded in 1892, by now is the archeological museum of the region

Torque
A torque is a large, rigid metal neck ring made from either a single piece or twisted strands.
Torques have been found in Scythian, Illyrian, Thracian, Celtic, and other cultures in Europe dating from around the 8th century BC to the 3rd century AD.
The torques on display in Toulouse come from southwestern France and date back to the 3rd century BC.
The Ingalls Stiffy Engine Torque Damper suppresses violent motor shake, saving wear and tear on driveline components, exhaust, hood and frame, as well as improving shifting and driving.
At AJ Performance, we recommend and install the Stiffy on all of our customer cars with the AJP Turbo Kit. With double or triple the amount of horsepower, we need all the stabilizing we can get.
I'm choosing to not describe what this is a photograph of so I don't ruin the lack of scale that the photo was given.

Yes they are sharing one lane at 200 mph. It happned so fast in a blink of an eye when the white car got out of the groove and slid into the other lane. Gr8 driving no crash.
While at Target today, I slipped on a patch of ice. I fell to the asphalt, scraping my right knee, and torquing my left foot. I can walk, put pressure on it, so I didn't break it, but it hurts somewhat. Probably just a strain/sprain. Haven't taken any Advil in 8 hours, though, so the pain's not that bad.
Esta peza de ouro macizo e de case dous kilos de peso, que se atopa actualmente no museo arqueolóxico de Lugo, é un bo exemplo da ourivería castrexa. Servía como colar de adorno.
I packed my camera bag and realised that one of my 540's has died. I went back to one of my first flashes the 430EZ. I placed this to the right of Ed at 1/4 power and Ed 'the Steez' Inglis laced this Backside Christ Torque no worries. I then got home on Sunday after bidding on a replacement eBay listed 540EZ to find that I had won this for under £25!! Good Karma from a Good Shot with a Great Friend.
