I have been lost in Photoshop. I was having ideas in Lightroom and they led to edits and on to Photoshop CS and from there they are stretching out towards some notion of motion pictures. I have not used this Film Temperature Control System. I have been calling a film cooker. It looks superb and it comes with a three pin U.K. Plug fitted ready for accurate simmering film into tender toner and sharpish shadows and might fine highlights.
I have used two fonts to give °CineStill a look as it has in the packaging.
I forget to mention the soundtrack. Two tracks from those provided by my editing service with no composers and players listed. I have edited tracks individually and together. All errors on me and all praise to unknown originators of music. I wish that I had some names to praise.

It works in masonry and zero-clearance fireplaces, as well as with gas logs or gas starters. It has 9.7 square feet of heat exchanger surface area. This Item fits within a cardboard box 18w 16t 16d fully assembled. You can use a cardboard box of this size to test the fit into your fireplace.
The most elegant, well crafted, customizable, and functional Heat Exchangers at the most reasonable cost. Turn your fireplace into a furnace with the ultimate blend of eye pleasing form with function. These high quality fireplace Grate Heat Exchangers are built to last.
When you use our Grate Heat Exchanger in an open fireplace, you will realize a saving on your heating costs and the amount of firewood. With one of these you can extract a larger percentage of the heat wasted and going up your chimney. Our Heat Exchangers are designed with the greatest surface area to capture and move into your home the highest percentage of the BTU heat generated by your fire.
Our volume of sales and positive feedback speaks for itself!
We have grates that have been in operation since 2000 and no customer has reported burn through.
All our products are made with fully welded uncoated non-galvanized structural grade industrial carbon steel, and UL certified electrical components.
We use 100% renewable wind and hydro electricity in our shop, and when possible, we use re-purposed and recycled steel.
Here is how it works:
Our all steel design uses several perfectly sized heavy duty thick wall tubes for maximum heat exchanger surface area, superior airflow volume, minimum burn through, and maximum combustion area volume. The tubes are welded together forming a channel that is filled with cool home air. The tubes then heat the air as it passes through them. Hot air is then blown back into the your home with velocity. This adds conduction from the hot coal coals and convection from the flame, heating to the radiant heat of a fireplace, recovering otherwise lost energy or BTU from the embers and flame of your fire.
The AC fans plug into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet (DC optional for solar panel, wind, solar cell, photo voltaic cell off grid or grid tie applications), they are quiet running at a measured 50 db or less decibels, and rated at 100 CFM each. With the option of a variable speed fan control when mood is more important than heat output you can reduce the background hum of our heat exchangers in operation for the perfect ambiance.
Customers have observed how the warmth generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.
Production time? We normally keep these standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.
First in line is first in time, the sooner you order your Fireplace Grate Heater, the sooner you can start saving on the heating bill!

Marianna was the intellectual wife of Marcquise Florenzi from Perugia. She translated the works of Schelling and other German philosophers into Italian, and was politically active, working against the domination of the Italian penninsula by the Papal States.
King Ludwig met Marchioness Florenzi at the Carnival parade in Rome in 1821, and they became very close friends. He wrote her over 3000 letters over the years, and she sent him close to 2000. Every year she would send "her" king a pair of embroidered slippers that she made herself. Rumors circulated about the close friendship between the King and the Marchioness, especially that Ludwig was the father of her children, however her children were born before they met.
Mariannas portrait was finished in 1827, making hers the first portrait for the gallery, although Auguste Strobl's portrait was the first one commissioned explicitly for the Beauty Gallery. This first portrait was originally included in the Beauty Gallery, but was replaced by the portrait seen here. In this portrait she is portrayed as the embodyment of grandeaur.
This painting by Joseph Stieler was completed in 1831 when Marianna was 29 years old.

The legend of the miracle of the roses
The most popular story of Queen Isabel is undoubtedly the miracle of the roses. According to the Portuguese legend, the queen left the castle Sabugal a winter morning to distribute bread to the poor. Surprised by the sovereign, who asked him where he was going and what he carried in his lap, the Queen would have exclaimed: St. Rose, Lord. Suspicious, D. Dinis respondent: Roses in January?. D. Isabel then explained the contents of the lap of her dress and it had roses instead of bread that concealed.
The exact time of the appearance of this legend in the Portuguese tradition is undetermined. Does not have a biography written about Queen anonymously in the fourteenth century, but circulated orally by the country in the last decades of this century. The earliest known record is an altarpiece fifteenth preserved in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.
The first written record of the miracle of the roses is in the Chronicle of Friars Minor.
In the mid-sixteenth century the legend was already widespread, and was illustrated by an anonymous painting, known as Rainha Santa Isabel, in the Museum Machado de Castro de Coimbra, and a miniature of the Genealogy of the Kings of Portugal on drawing of Simon Bening Antonio de Holanda. In the seventeenth century come two anonymous works portraying the Queen, oil painting in the lobby of the Institute of Maynooth and the altarpiece of the Monastery of Lorvão.
Note that of his maternal aunt, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, telling a tale very similar to the Miracle of the Roses.
"since the Queen took holy coins in her lap to give to the poor (...) At the the King asked him what he was carrying, (...) she said, carry roses here. Roses And saw the King not and their time. "
Chronicle of Friars Minor, Friar Marcos de Lisboa, 1562
Elizabeth of Aragon, also known as Saint Elizabeth of Portugal, (1271 – 4 July 1336; Elisabet in Catalan, Isabel in Aragonese, Portuguese and Spanish), was queen consort of Portugal, a tertiary of the Franciscan Order and is venerated as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
Elizabeth showed an early enthusiasm for her Faith. She said the full Divine Office daily, fasted and did other penance, as well as attended twice-daily choral Masses. Religious fervor was common in her family, as she could count several members of her family who were already venerated as saints. The most notable example is her great-aunt, St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
Português
Isabel de Aragão OFS (ou, usando a grafia medieval portuguesa, Yzabel; Saragoça, 1271 — Estremoz, 4 de Julho de 1336), foi uma infanta aragonesa e, de 1282 até 1325, rainha consorte de Portugal. Passou à história com a fama de santa, tendo sido beatificada e, posteriormente, canonizada. Ficou popularmente conhecida como Rainha Santa Isabel ou, simplesmente, A Rainha Santa.
A lenda do milagre das rosas
A história mais popular da Rainha Santa Isabel é sem dúvida a do milagre das rosas. Segundo a lenda portuguesa, a rainha saiu do Castelo do Sabugal numa manhã de Inverno para distribuir pães aos mais desfavorecidos. Surpreendida pelo soberano, que lhe inquiriu onde ia e o que levava no regaço, a rainha teria exclamado: São rosas, Senhor!. Desconfiado, D. Dinis inquirido: Rosas, em Janeiro?. D. Isabel expôs então o conteúdo do regaço do seu vestido e nele havia rosas, ao invés dos pães que ocultara.
A época exacta do aparecimento desta lenda na tradição portuguesa não está determinada. Não consta de uma biografia anónima sobre a rainha escrita no século XIV, mas circularia oralmente pelo país nas últimas décadas desse século. O mais antigo registo conhecido é um retábulo quatrocentista conservado no Museu Nacional de Arte da Catalunha.
O primeiro registo escrito do milagre das rosas encontra-se na Crónica dos Frades Menores.
Em meados do século XVI a lenda já tinha sido amplamente difundida, e foi ilustrada por uma pintura anónima, conhecida por Rainha Santa Isabel, no Museu Machado de Castro de Coimbra, e por uma iluminura da Genealogia dos Reis de Portugal de Simão Bening sobre desenho de António de Holanda. No século XVII surgem mais dois trabalhos anónimos retratando a rainha, a pintura a óleo no átrio do Instituto de Odivelas e o retábulo do Mosteiro do Lorvão.
Note-se que da sua tia materna, Santa Isabel da Hungria, se conta uma lenda muito idêntica à do Milagre das Rosas.
"levava uma vez a Rainha santa moedas no regaço para dar aos pobres(...) Encontrando-a el-Rei lhe perguntou o que levava,(...) ela disse, levo aqui rosas. E rosas viu el-Rei não sendo tempo delas."
Crónica dos Frades Menores, Frei Marcos de Lisboa, 1562
Picked up this bag perhaps five years ago at Xmastime. I really love the strange selection of creatures bringing gifts. (Don't look a gift armadillo in the mouth?)
It appears these are all *migratory* creatures, however: since they first came home with me, the bag has circulated amongst our circle of friends several times by now. Birthdays, Xmases, weddings - the creatures keep on coming around.
A video has circulated recently of PLA soldiers shooting Tibetans trying to escape into Nepal on their way to India.
Many online have wondered why the Tibetans didn't react and just kept walking. The video's narrator states that the pass was around 5700 meters (around 18700 feet)... if you've ever walked that high you'll know that it takes great effort to keep putting one foot in front of another. Your brain feels full of cement. You can't run, you can't do much except walk, rest, and keep walking. Depending on the time of day, and the amount of time you've been at altitude, stopping, even for an hour, can mean getting stuck on a pass and death. I'm sure all the Tibetans were horrified, but what could they do, they couldn't go back towards the shooters, there was nowhere to go except onward, those people had to keep walking, there was no other option.

"You may think, well, how are we going to get one billion
people to think peace?
Imagine peace.
Because if one billion people in the world think peace, we
will get peace.
Remember each one of us has the power to change the
world.
Power works in mysterious ways.
You don’t have to do much.
Visualize the domino effect and just start thinking peace.
The message will circulate faster than you think.
It’s time for action.
And the action is peace.
Spread the word.
Spread peace.
I love you!

WISH PIECE
Make a wish.
Write it down on a piece of paper.
Fold it and tie it around a branch of a wish tree.
Ask your friends to do the same.
Keep wishing
Until the branches are covered with wishes.

Yoko Ono: IMAGINE PEACE at JEMA/Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art [Florida, USA]
JEMA travels IMAGINE PIECE to the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, in Gainesville, Florida
JEMA proudly announces Yoko Ono’s IMAGINE PEACE is reopened at JEMA and is currently on view at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, in Gainesville, Florida [map]. Yoko Ono’s exhibition runs from From October 6 – January 3rd, 2009-10, and includes her text-based work IMAGINE PEACE (2007) as well as WISH PIECE (1996). Viewers are invited to attend JEMA’s new outdoor sculpture garden and contribute to one of Yoko Ono’s Wish Trees by writing wishes on provided pieces of paper and adding them to the branches of the tree. Viewers and participants will note the tree provided for the exhibition is somewhat diminutive in keeping with the scale of JEMA’s gallery spaces. JEMA consultants from the JEMA Annex were present to distribute pencils and paper for Wish Peace during the October 6th opening at the Harn Museum of Art. JEMA Annex Consultants included Charisse Calaquian, Leah Floyd, Ladis Pietros, Kelly Rogers, and Matthew Whitehead. In time, all wishes will be gathered by the Annex Consultants and sent to The IMAGINE PEACE TOWER on Videy Island, Reykjavik, Iceland.
Previously IMAGINE PIECE opened at JEMA in Belfast, Northern Ireland in April, 2008. The exhibition traveled from Golden Thread Gallery, Catalyst Arts, NVTV Studios, and briefly left Belfast to open in Glasgow at the Glasgow School of the Arts.

An image comes to mind of a white, ideal space that, more than any single picture,
may be the archetypal image of 20th-century art. And it clarifies itself through a process of historical inevitability usually attached to the art it contains.”
Brian O’Doherty, Inside the White Cube
Welcome to JEMA
Advancements in technology and new ideas in contemporary art are preparing the current visual art audience to witness radically new and diverse exhibition strategies. Ideas associated with Marcel Duchamp’s Boite-en-valise (1941), and Brian O’Doherty’s Inside the White Cube (1976), have (for decades) provided groundbreaking precedents from which to conceive and approach the display of art. Advancements in internet technology, digital imaging and critical insights related to site-specificity have further expanded possible innovations in art display tactics. As a result, today’s exhibition spaces may be planned, constructed, maintained, and enjoyed with unprecedented levels of affordability, efficiency, and creativity.
The John Erickson Museum of Art (JEMA) is an example of one possible method of developing an exciting new venue for artists and viewers. It also functions as a model for discussing innovative possibilities toward the development of vital yet affordable art centers. JEMA’s portable quality offers artists an exhibition space that encourages radical experimentation with a low financial overhead. This new museum space is founded on an unwavering belief concerning the quick, decisive and efficient delivering art to the viewing public. This type of activity is an important sign of a vital cultural institution. Many art museums require years to schedule exhibitions. Moving slowly – these institutions function with power and strength but remain bogged down by red tape and expensive exhibitions.
By moving with stealth and agility, JEMA carries out its functions in a portable and thrifty manner. JEMA’s design allows for a greater focus on exhibition planning and a stronger intercommunication between the institution, exhibiting artists, and you (the viewing public). JEMA brings the art to you!
Think JEMA…more or less.

The United States Mint primarily produces circulating coinage for the United States to conduct its trade and commerce. The Mint was created by Congress with the Coinage Act of 1792, and placed within the Department of State. Per the terms of the Coinage Act, the first Mint building was located in Philadelphia, then the U.S. capital. It was the first building of the Republic raised under the Constitution. The Mint was made an independent agency in 1799, and under the Coinage Act of 1873, became part of the Department of the Treasury. It was placed under the auspices of the Treasurer of the United States in 1981. The largest and main facility is located in Philadelphia, one of four active coin-producing mints. The current facility, designed by Vincent G. Kling and Associates in 1969, is the fourth Philadelphia Mint. The first was built in 1792, when Philadelphia was still the U.S. capital, and began operation in 1793. Until 1980, coins minted at Philadelphia bore no mint mark, with the exceptions of the Susan B. Anthony dollar and the wartime Jefferson nickel. In 1980, the P mint mark was added to all U.S. coinage except the cent. Until 1968, the Philadelphia Mint was responsible for nearly all official proof coinage. Philadelphia is also the site of master die production for U.S. coinage, and the engraving and design departments of the Mint are also located there.
The National Constitution Center, at 525 Arch Street in Independence Mall, an independent, non-partisan, and non-profit organization dedicated to increasing public understanding of, and appreciation for, the Constitution, its history, and its contemporary relevance, through an interactive, interpretive facility. Created by the the Constitution Heritage Act in 1988, the museum opened on July 4, 2004, and was designed by American architect Henry N. Cobb and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, with museum design firm Ralph Appelbaum Associates.

Owner: Ride's over at Coney Island amusement park
By RICHARD PYLE – Sep 7, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) — When reports circulated over the weekend of a last-minute deal to keep Coney Island's historic Astroland amusement park open for another year, owner Carol Hill Albert was not amused.
Indeed, her tone was bitter as she described plans to close the park Sunday night in lieu of an agreement with the city or with private developer Thor Equities, which have competing plans for the 3-acre Brooklyn site.
"Despite rumors to the contrary, there are absolutely no negotiations going on, and there never were," said Albert, whose family has owned Astroland for more than four decades.
The park would close permanently, she said. Late Sunday night, visitors were herded out of the park and the lights were shut off for the last time.
The Cyclone, the famous Coney Island roller coaster, and the 150-foot-tall Wonder Wheel, a Ferris wheel, are separately owned and landmarked by the city so they are unaffected by the closing.
News that Sunday would be the last gasp for Dante's Inferno fun house, 22 other rides and three arcades drew hundreds of nostalgia-minded visitors, including elderly residents of the beach area and families with children who had never ridden on the Tilt-A-Whirl or the Water Flume.
Bobby Salony said bringing his wife and their daughters from Greenwich, Conn., was a kind of "unfinished business." "We had to come in and have one more time (at Astroland)," Salony said. "Twenty years from now, they can say they were here on the last day."
On a nearby sidewalk, Amos Wengler strummed a guitar and sang a tune he wrote for the occasion: "Save Coney Island, don't let them take it away, and the whole world wants it to stay." Wengler was one of a few who said they felt there was "still hope" that Astroland would not disappear. Even if a developer takes over, "you can always make it the same again," he said.
Last fall, Astroland and Thor Equities, which owns 11 acres of seaside property that includes the amusement park, agreed to a one-year lease extension that expires Jan. 31, 2009. Albert said Sunday that she had sought since June to negotiate an extension with Thor through 2010 but was repeatedly told the company had "no answer." Her spokesman, Joe Carella, said Albert decided to close Astroland when it was clear that Thor had no intention of negotiating with her.
Thor spokesman Stefan Friedman said the firm was "extremely disappointed" that Albert had "decided to give up on the future of Coney Island" with several months remaining on her lease. The Daily News reported that Astroland's rides were already being offered for sale on the Internet, with prices ranging from $95,000 for the merry-go-round to $199,000 for the bumper cars.
Sunday 25th March I went on a flickrmeet with the WelshFlickrCymru group. We met at the Pelican Inn on the Ogmore Road before moving on to the castle for some obligatory group shots. We then moved on to the the river and the stepping stones where everyone had their cameras ready hoping for one of our members to fall in, none of them obliged though! This is a short video of various members waiting by the stones with shots of some members crossing to the other side. The quality would have been much better if I had remembered to change the settings on the camera from artificial light to daylight so have had to tweak each clip in an attempt at colour correction. Film assembled in iMovie.
I walked down to this flickr meet, took me 40 minutes there, and 90 minutes return as I went via the New Inn Bridge and Newbridge Fields.

Gold Rush
The meaning behind the name
Many ask how "The Gold Rush Circular" got its name. The story dates back to
late 1700s when gold was first discovery in the Carlotte region.
This discovery sparked the start of America's first "Gold Rush". Soon,
gold mines were established, and they enticed citizens to open businesses.
The economy was growing and so was the spectacular city we call Charlotte.
"The Gold Rush Circular" pays tribute to Charlotte's rich history. And, it gets
you around the "Center city" quickly and easily. So, sit back, relax and enjoy
the rush - "The Gold Rush".
This service was made possible by: Bank of America, Charlotte Area Transit System,
Charlotte Center City Parteners, Hearst Corporation, Park Charlotte,

A leopard can't change his spots; and once a pump engineer, always a pump engineer. So what have we here? Well, the main subject of the picture is a Crane belt drive end-suction centrifugal pump, which is clearly a little old-fashioned as it has a tangential discharge, as opposed to the more modern (post 1970s) trend for a centre-line discharge, which gives you a self-venting volute. Suction and discharge connections are made via anti-vibration pipe couplings, such as made by Minikin & Sons.
But what is this lurking behind the belt-guard? Looks like the rotating element of a Grundfos glandless circulator. As it's been stripped out of its volute, we may probably assume that it's broken. And that cardboard box to the left may hold a controller module for the same. Modern stuff, you see - no good will come of this excessive zeal for innovation!
For comparison purposes, our local church still has the same Turney Turbine pump that was installed when we got electricity in 1959. I overhauled it around 2002, but otherwise it's still there, proving the value of traditional engineering.
