Most of the time, I never see the frogs, I only hear a plop as they jump to the bottom to avoid the possible danger perceived by me walking along the edge of the water.
Planeausters performing at Alte Kirche Rulfingen. They recently released their brand-new CD "Humboldt Park" which was recorded in the award winning Joyride Studio in Chicago.

Planeausters are a brilliant german band which makes intelligent and poetic Independent Guitar Rock.
2007 they did a great job as support for "The Waterboys" for their shows in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and Geneva.
Planeausters was formed in 1998. Releasing their first single “Insect Songs” and having their debut appearances in Berlin and Paris, the band soon established their own view of independent music philosophy. Apart from commercial music business they found their freedom in form and content on the small label Tank Records. Their debut album “How I Lost My Fear of Flying” soon became a classic, containing songs like “Heroine”, “In A Sleep” and “Picking Flowers On The Moon”. The following album “Flying Home”, that was reissued in 2007, shows them keen on making new experiences with songs like “I Gotta Run, Babe (Robert Hanssen)” and metaphoric anti-love song “Fascist Heart” which is more related to a timeless film noire style than to anything that is en vogue. Their third album “Ruby Light Shine” that especially elated the French music press contains the great “Something Beautiful”, “Free Like Houdini” and “Electric Star”. French magazine CROSSROADS ranks the PLANEAUSTERS among bands like dEUs, Dead Man Ray or Venus as one of the best and most interesting current European independent groups. The self-sufficient three-man band PLANEAUSTERS stand out with a weightless Independent Rock. The sometimes rough and archaic arrangements create a very own hypnotic tension.
Die Planeausters wurden 1998 gegründet. Mit ihrer ersten Single, die mittlerweile nach der 2. Auflage vergriffen ist, hatten sie in Berlin und Paris ihre Live-Debuts und entwickelten schnell ihre eigene Auslegung einer Indie-Philosophie. Öffentlichkeitsscheu und introvertiert fanden sie Zuflucht bei Tank Records – einem Label, das ihnen absolute künstlerische Freiheiten bot. Ihr Debutalbum „How I Lost My Fear of Flying“ wurde vor allem mit Songs wie „Heroine”, “In A Sleep” und “Picking Flowers On The Moon” zum Klassiker. Das nächste Album “Flying Home”, welches nach einer Auflage von 2000 Stück vergriffen ist und 2007 wiederveröffentlicht wurde, zeigt sie experimentierfreudig, was sich vor allem in Songs wie “I Gotta Run, Babe (Robert Hanssen)” oder dem metaphorischen und mit biblischen Bildern angehäuften Anti-Liebes-Song “Fascist Heart” niederschlägt. Ihre Nähe zu einem zeitlosen Film Noire Rock-Stil wird kennzeichnend für ihre Musik. Ihr drittes Album „Ruby Light Shine“, das besonders die französische Musikpresse begeisterte enthält unter anderem die großartigen Stücke „Something Beautiful“, „Free Like Houdini“ und „Electric Star“. Das Musikmagazin CROSSROADS aus Paris zählt sie in einem Zug mit dEUs, Dead Man Ray und Venus zu einer der zur Zeit besten und interessantesten europäischen Independent-Gruppen.

Like a show dog, I was ‘bred’ for one purpose. Warfare. Show dogs are made to compete in sophisticated dog shows, winning gold medals and trophies for their owners to display proudly. I was made to fight for my country in what remains to be the biggest war to date. In 1942, my life changed forever. Was it for the better? That’s debatable. At the time, I thought it was. Then I was frozen in a block of ice for seventy years, only to wake up to learn that I had lost everything. All my squadmates, my bestfriend and the woman I had fallen in love with.
My name is Steve Rogers. I was born in 1918 in a broken household, to an alcoholic father and a sick mother. My dad left us when I was just a kid, so I spent most of my life taking care of my mom until she eventually passed away in ‘39. After I heard that war was being declared on Nazi Germany, I spent the next year-and-a-half trying to enlist, looking for a new place to call my home. Even if the U.S. wasn’t one of the first countries to enter the war, I still signed up, wanting to be one of the first Americans to set foot in Europe when my country did eventually join the fighting.
I was continually denied from every recruiting office, due to my poor health (asthma I had been dealing with since I was young, being severely underweight and other health problems that would eventually get cured). Though, one day...a man took notice of my dedication and decided to offer me an option: become a test subject for an experimental program to turn regular men into Super-Soldiers. Dr. Abraham Erskine brought me to a military training ground so I could go through basic training in preparation for the procedure. After months of embarrassing myself in front of the other trainees and almost failing every test I was put through, the day finally came.
I was introduced to Howard Stark, Agent Peggy Carter and other people who would either oversee or help with the experiment. After being strapped into the machine, I was exposed to the painful Vita-Rays that would allow me to come out a changed man. At peak physical condition, all my ailments were cured and my height was increased almost a foot, along with my muscle mass growing tenfold. I was then put through more training under the watch of Peggy Carter, which would cause us to form a deep friendship that I still wish had become something more. Next, I was given a special shield made out of the two strongest metals known to man: Vibranium and Adamantium that was developed by Howard Stark. When I was finally ready to enter the field, I was tasked with rescuing a squad of captured soldiers (which would be the first time I ever went to Europe).
After the successful mission, I was sent on a few more until I eventually met the boy who would prove to be the most loyal friend I’d ever meet. His name was James Barnes, but he was commonly referred to as ‘Bucky’. I was told that the name came from a boy scout summer camp that he was enrolled in before the war. To this day, I still don’t know how we was discovered but I was originally very opposed with working with him. I tried telling my superior officers that it was morally wrong to bring someone who isn’t even old enough to drive into the war. They responded back with the argument that it was morally wrong to used chlorine gas to kill innocent and helpless citizens, but that didn’t stop the Nazis and that was where that fight ended.
The reason this kid was considered so special was because he was given a trace of the serum that made me into who I am before Dr. Erskine was gunned down by an enemy spy on the day that Captain America was born. This helped Bucky when it came to hand-to-hand combat. On top of that, he was naturally skilled with firearms and already an expert spy at age fifteen. Plus, no one would suspect a kid to be a master at espionage when he was sent on super secret missions. Together, Bucky and I were a world-famous duo who ravaged the battlefields of the Nazi controlled countries. Towards the end of the war, we were placed in charge of ‘The Howling Commandos’, a squad of the most skilled soldiers from every Allied country (and the French resistance).
We saw our way through too many successful missions to count. We became legends, feared by every enemy soldier who heard of us. Around the same time, the two of us were also placed on a team of other superpowered soldiers that consisted of me, Jim Hammond (‘The Human Torch’), his sidekick ‘Toro’, Namor ‘The Sub-Mariner’ and ‘Union Jack’. We were only sent to deal with Hydra threats (the rogue Nazi science division), so we weren’t as active in the fight as The Commandos.
My stellar military career with Bucky and The Commandos came to a sudden end in 1945, when we were sent to aid the rest of my comrades in The Invaders in taking out the Hydra leader, Red Skull. The problem is, he was expecting us. We fought through his fortress and experienced more losses than we could’ve seen: Toro, Gabe Jones, ‘Frenchie’, Union Jack and then Nick Fury Sr. lost his eye (which is ironic, considering his grandson would suffer the same loss decades later). This didn’t stop us, however. Bucky and I were determined to see this through, so we chased Red Skull to a rocket he planned on sending to crash into the U.S. with him still strapped inside. He wanted to die a martyr for Hydra’s final plans of the war.
Bucky and I were able to board and hold onto it, as it took off. After attempting to apprehend Red Skull, he escaped at the last minute with an ejector seat, not before setting the rocket to self-destruct, though. That left Bucky and I with an ultimatum: steer the rocket out of the range of any populated area. We were over the Atlantic when we planned on jumping off to safety. Bucky got the arm of his uniform caught in the broken ladder of the rocket, however. We had a quick argument when I refused to leave him behind and he told me that I had to. His last words before he aggressively threw me off the rocket with all his strength were: “The world needs Captain America more than Bucky Barnes.”
The rocket exploded while I plummeted towards the freezing water below, which only sent me free falling faster. My shield and I collapsed in the water, quickly becoming submerged and frozen. The last thought I had in my mind was that of my best friend's death. After that, Captain America was another thing lost to time…
Until several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents discovered me on a secret expedition. They brought me to the director of the agency, Nick Fury Jr., who thawed me out. He explained to me what had happened and offered me a place among their ranks. I decided to decline, though, to try and carve a path out for myself. After some time spent on my own, I realized that I missed the action I was used to facing on a just about daily basis. So, I suited up and got to work. Until I met Falcon, aka Sam Falcon -- a close friend of mine in the hero community. Together, the two of us joined Tony Star's team, the Avengers, to fight alongside Ant-Man, The Wasp and Iron Man. Formally, the Hulk and, as of recently, a new member: Doctor Strange.

It feels really great when your photo took 1st place in one of 13 categories and was selected to be among 52 winning photographs, chosen from 4,100 photos, submitted by more than 700 photographers!
I'm talking about my "Snow Queen's Mischief" photo, which is a winner the City of Toronto Photo Contest "Building a great city - together"! 'Snow Queen's Mischief' is placed first /best overall in the category of "Toronto by night".
And really, it feels great!! On Monday, The City of Toronto hosted the evening reception for the winning photographers at City Hall and the event was excellent and exciting experience to remember and be proud of.
On this photo, you see (from left to right) Mayor David Miller, shaking my hand and congratulating me, Katrin Ray :-), and City Manager Joe Pennachetti. During the awarding, a photo of a winner was displayed on the scene's background, as you see here is my photo above :-)
You may want to read the City of Toronto's news release!
(See the first comment for more images from the event and my impressions)
Air power came to the fore in World War II, and a certain number of airplanes ultimately tipped strategic balances. Britons revere the memory of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane for their Battle of Britain roles that saved the nation from Nazi invasion. In the bitterly fought Pacific campaign, a less glamorous aircraft blunted the Imperial Japanese samurai sword, halting the Rising Sun’s advances that had seemed inexorable until the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The Douglas SBD Dauntless ultimately paved the way for the full roll-back of Imperial Japanese war aims, but wasn’t an obvious candidate for such a heroic status. Officially the SBD designation stood for ‘Scout Bomber Douglas’, but the popular nickname of ‘Slow But Deadly’ sums up the scout/dive bomber’s abilities.
The supreme achievement of Douglas SBD Dauntless was to wipe out at a single stroke the Imperial Japanese Navy’s aircraft carrier force, their bombs taking to the bottom of the sea the very vessels from which the ‘Day of Infamy’ Pearl Harbor attack had been launched. Historians and strategists recognise this battle as the tipping point in the Pacific War, the Japanese forces never being able to recover from their losses.
Chicago’s Midway Airport (MDW) honours that 1942 battle, and features a surviving Douglas SBD as part of a display that commemorates the battle. It was an expensive battle in terms of lives lost, with US casualties totalling around 307, while the Japanese lost 3,057 killed. It is worth pausing a moment when passing through MDW to pay homage to those lost lives.
Found image. Unfortunately I cannot read the certificate but a dealer has written on the back of the card that it comes from rural Middlesex.
The MtSac v Cerritos dual was held on 23 October 2019 at Mt. San Antonio College.
In his 13 years as the Cerritos College wrestling head coach, Donny Garriott has won a lot of matches. But one place he has had difficulty winning in conference play has been at Mt. San Antonio College, where he had lost his last five matches. But on Wednesday, the #2-ranked Falcons (10-0, 2-0) posted a 25-16 Southwest Conference win over the Mounties. It was the first conference win for Garriott and the Falcons at Mt. SAC since 2010, who now has a lifetime 13-8 record against the Mounties.

As apart of Mali's prize for winning TA C.3, she got a 6 page spread along with her cover for MOOD.
This photoshoot is supposed to be based around the plastic surgery that girls go through for perfection.
Larry and I visited the George F. Boyer Historical Museum yesterday. We always try to go a couple of times a season.
I always end up learning something new and interesting about the island and it's past.
I saw this small picture hanging on the wall, and just had to get a shot of it.
These two boys are simply wonderful! The one on the left looks like he stepped right out of "Our Gang"!
There was no caption with it, so I have no idea what year this was taken, or what the exact moment being documented is, but my guess is that they were the winner and runner up of the National Marbles Tournament that has been held here in Wildwood since 1922.
When I Googled the tournament to find out what year it started, there was no mention of it on the official tournament page, so I had to do some hunting...and finally found an old newspaper article covering the event that gave me the date.
It also gave me the word "Mibster".
A mibster is somebody who plays marbles.
Who knew?
Evidently only people that play marbles.
It's not even in your Funk & Wagnall!

Melinda with her winning photo of the nursing ewe at the NC Mountain State Fair, Asheville, NC. . . and very surprised to learn that she had won a Blue Ribbon --1st place in the category "Agriculture-Related"!
Photo by George Stuart.
She won the 1600M heat so easily that it was obvious that she was in the wrong heat. She was like a strong Varsity runner, who would have been a top competitor, competing in a JV heat. Sometimes that's how track meets, and invitationals (even), go.
Photographer's Note: that blue turf really makes the pictures pop! In sunny conditions, the blue makes the athlete stand out.
One of the better photo locations along the Grafton & Upton is here at Old Upton Road in Grafton. Today GU-1 is heading for Hopedale with 6 loads led by GMTX MP15AC # 326 (Ex Milwaukee Road 480/SOO Line 1546)
Passing Winning heading for Blyth Power Station is Electroputere built 56025 on 8th June 1986. The MGR had started from Sunderland South Dock, possibly originating in the Yorkshire coalfield as this was not a local locomotive, far too clean for one of Gateshead's "Grids". The poor standard of build of these early 56s is evident in the rippling of the bodysides. Their entry to service was a protracted affair as initially BR refused to accept them until improvements were made.
Semaphore signals still survive at this location, albeit after a H&S makeover.
