A Five-Year Photographic Journey with the M4/3 Series.
Malibu Boats (@MalibuBoats) Team Skier, Joel Wing (pictured here with Thomas Degasperi) returned from Townsville last weekend as the Australian Overall Champion. After 3 big days of competition, Joel outclassed 12 time champion, Ryan Green and young gun Tim Bradstreet to win by a massive 240 overall points. Joel had the advantage of his very own Malibu Response LXi as the towboat for the Championships "The LXi performed great all weekend, providing some great power for big jumps as well as the beautiful trick and slalom wakes we are all used to from the LXi". After a great Australian season, Joel was named as one of the six Australian team members to compete in the World Championships in Russia in July this year. Great job Joel!

The 45EPIC landscapes and goddesses are straight out of Homer's Iliad & Odyssey!
I'm currently updating a translation with the Greek names for the gods and goddesses--will publish soon! :)
"RAGE--Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. " --Homer's Iliad capturing the rage of the 45EPIC landscapes and seascapes! :)

Chiefs versus Eagles at The Linc in Philly. McNabb out...Kolb starting but everyone looking for #7.
Everyone know that Kansas City does beef, well, well. Beef, ribs, BBQ....they know what to do.
Yeah, I've done the beef and ribs thing. For today's game, I wanted to mix it up a bit. Throw a little wildcat offense in there.
So here's what we did...some braised pork rib pizzetas!
A pizzetas is just a small pizza pie. Nothing to get worried about. I had some left over pizza dough taking up space in the freezer. Took it out about 5:30 a.m. to defrost it. By noon, it was good to to.
Also by noon, my pork baby back ribs had been cooking for a couple of hours in my slow cooker. A nice rub on them, some liquid smoke, some Yuengling brew to baste by.
Around 1, I flattened out my pizza dough, brushed it with some olive oil, and put it on my grill. Once crispy, I slathered it with some KC-style BBC sauce, added the shredded pork, the Gorgonzola cheese, and the homerown tomatoes, diced. Back on the grill to get happy.
Once done, sliced it, and it all worked nicely.
In the glass, more Yuengling Lager.
This one had to count. Eagles have a bye next weekend, and for the rest of October, I'll be out of the great USA.
See you in November, football fans!

La chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie è un edificio sacro che si trova a Gravedona, in provincia di Como.
La chiesa e il convento agostiniano (oggi adibito a biblioteca) vennero fondati nel 1467, dove un tempo era presente una chiesa dedicata al Salvatore, in posizione dominante sul paese. Il convento intrecciò una serie di rapporti con i principali conventi agostiniani osservanti della Lombardia e divenne dalla fine del '400 ai primi decenni del secolo successivo un punto di riferimanto alla stregua della fondazione benedettina di Piona. Nel 1474 Galeazzo Sforza contribuì finanziariamente alla fabbrica che aveva avuto un avvio difficoltoso. Il convento venne soppresso da Maria Teresa d'Austria, ma la chiesa rimase consacrata e viene ancora oggi utilizzata.
L'altare maggiore: si nota sulla parete di fondo, ai lati dell'Assunta, la data 1496 - 4 maggio
L'articolazione architettonica segua il modello diffuso in zona, con una navata unica scandita da archi trasversali che creano stretti comparti laterali. Tre absidi, di cui quella centrale con volta a vele, chiudono sul fondo l'ampio e luminoso spazio interno. Tra il 1496 e il 1520 si realizzò il maggior impegno decorativo, con successive fasi stilistiche. Il chiostro mantiene l'assetto originario nonostante le suddivisione e le modificazioni d'uso. La chiesa presenta due portali in marmo di Musso; la lunetta del portale in facciata riporta un affresco cinquecentesco raffiguarnte la Vergine tra i Santi Agostino e Nicola da Tolentino. I sottarchi e le facciate dei timpani sono affrescati con busti di Profeti e Beati e Santi agostiniani, partendo dall'ingresso, fino ai Dottori della Chiesa nell'ultimo sottarco, il più vicino all'altare. Sulla parete del presbiterio si trova l'affresco della Madonna Assunta con la data 1496, tra due santi (San Simeone il Giusto e San Giovanni Battista. L'impianto iconografico della chiesa è teso alla glorificazione dell'ordine agostiniano e alla proclamazione della dottrina dell'Incarnazione e dell'Assunzione.
Ogni cappella è dedicata ad un Episodio o ad un Santo biblico: la prima a destra raffigura la Crocifissione (tema caro all'ordine agostiniano); nella seconda cappella a destra, raffigurante storie della vita di Sant'Antonio abate, si trova, sull'interno del pilastro, un affresco molto famoso nel paese: la "Madonna Del Cifulet": si tratta di un'immagine della Vergine con il Bambino, raffigurata mentre scaccia un piccolo demone, il "Cifulet", appunto. Probabilmente l'affresco ha una valenza simbolica, con il demone che rappresenta i mali del mondo (e forse è anche un'allegoria del Protestantesimo), ma la figura del Cifulet è da sempre usata per spaventare i bambini del paese. Di fronte all'entrata laterale si trova la cappella dedicata alla Deposizione e, a fianco, quella di San Giovanni Battista.

" I live in Cha Kwo Ling. I am getting older. I love being here. I have a lot
of friends, my neighbours look after me, we have shops and restaurants. My parents were born here so I came back to our home. It is very safe here, our doors are always open. Long time ago, we had fishermen, people working in the stone quarry, and later in the oil industry on the docks. All of this is gone now. We have a recycling centre, waste materials everywhere, trucks come and go all day long, it is a good business but some people are complaining about the noise and the dirt ; I don’t mind. I take the minibus everyday in and out. When there is heavy rain, some roofs are leaking. We have mosquitoes, rats running around at night, sometimes even snakes, but we are used to it. We love it here. I don’t have much hope for Cha Kwo ling, I live day by day, trying to live a happy life. We are proud of our beautiful temple and festivals that attract people from all around."

== Brief ==
SUGAR is delicious. And Hong Kong exemplifies our global society’s addiction to the sweet life. Life in Hong Kong is fast-paced, convenient, delicious and glittery. In Hong Kong, you will find people shopping in both luxury goods stores and fast fashion giants, dining in Michelin-starred restaurants, traveling via one of the best public transportation systems in the world and living in beautiful homes in the sky.
As with the gaping cavities that result from over-consumption of sugar, Hong Kong also suffers negative consequences of its sugar addiction. The pursuit of the good life has led society to wilfully turn a blind eye to the cost and consequence of its consumption. Hong Kong is paying the toll of its addiction. Overflowing landfills, polluted air and waterways, hungry children and homeless seniors are the untold parts of Hong Kong’s story. The city that hosts the highest density of millionaires is also the home of caged home dwellers.
The concentration of wealth and power have reached such extent that the whole city landscape manifests how decisions are taken: top down. Big scale investments shape the urban life. The way of financing, the use of resources and targeted clientele for the majority of projects are decided based on the expected revenue. The lack of responsible involvement and intervention is not only an emerging factor in architectural profession. Hong Kong young generation see themselves with little perspective due to unaffordable property prices and question the inequality in the city's population. The aesthetic of the city is for most “business-friendly”, which really is sterile, technocentric, vacant of any form of spontaneity and life.
How can city dwellers move away from pure consumption and reclaim an active advocacy? How can the future population of Hong Kong deal more responsibly with the offer of sugar? Can life come back in the constructed environment? How can we break away from sugar addiction and build together a sustainable city?

Pyongyang is the capital of the DPRK and the centre of politics, the economy and culture.
As the cradle of the Taedonggang Culture, it has over 5 000-year-long history since Tangun, founder king, established Ancient Korea and set Pyongyang as its capital.
In spring Moran Hill, a "garden of the capital," is full of flowers and the picturesque Taedong River flows through the city centre. So Pyongyang is called a city in a park. Such surroundings make Pyo according to north korean guides. Pyongyang the "World Best Beauty".

Sexual healling / Marvin Gaye ( again & again )
Ooh baby, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to heal me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the thing you're dealing
Oh I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up - let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up - 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, it's good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's so good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
(Heal me my darling)
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling,
I need sexual healing
oh when I get this feeling,
I need Sexual Healing,
I gotta have sexual healing, Darling
'cos I'm all alone
sexual healing, darling,
'till you come back home
Please don't procrastinate
It's not good to masturbate
Stemma del Carnevale di Ivrea.
Un grande e solenne rituale come il Carnevale di Ivrea è una fantasiosa allegoria che celebra verità storiche frammiste a suggestive leggende. Questo rende la festa ricca di segni, di richiami, di riferimenti più o meno manifesti o nascosti.
Tra tutti, il simbolo per eccellenza è la Mugnaia, che non è solo l’interprete del personaggio Violetta, la romantica eroina che ha dato origine alla rivolta popolare, ma è l’incarnazione della libertà conquistata dal popolo. La figura della “mulinera” è stata introdotta nella festa a partire dall’ottocento, in pieno romanticismo.
Allegoria della lotta per la libertà è la battaglia delle arance, nella quale i componenti delle squadre a piedi impersonano i popolani in rivolta mentre gli aranceri sul carro hanno il ruolo di sgherri del tiranno.
L’arancia è il simbolo della lotta durante il getto, e della vittoria quando è conficcata nella punta dello spadino degli Abbà. In questo ultimo caso l’immagine simbolica richiama la testa del tiranno mozzata da Violetta.
Il Berretto Frigio che in Canavese già apparteneva alla tradizione del tuchinaggio, entra nell’ufficialità con la dominazione napoleonica e si carica di ulteriori significati libertari.
Liberatorie sono infatti le fiamme dello scarlo considerando che in quasi tutte le culture il fuoco è l’elemento purificatore e rinnovatore.
Simbolo grafico, e vero e proprio marchio del carnevale, è il Pich e Pala che rappresenta, annodata da un nastro, il piccone e la pala utilizzati per la zappata degli scarli, incrociati con lo spadino degli Abbà, con l’arancia conficcata in punta e il berretto frigio.
Un marchio che concentra in se tutti gli elementi originari
della tradizione.
Un’altra icona di vittoria è rappresentata dalla Spada che la Mugnaia impugna alta verso il cielo in segno di riscossa e di libertà, mentre la Sciabola del Generale è simbolo di comando e la fascia bianca e rossa che indossa, rappresenta il potere che nei giorni di carnevale possiede.
Ritornando al Berretto Frigio, si può tranquillamente affermare che rappresenti un vero e proprio marchio di “eporediesità”.
Lo si indossa non soltanto per evitare, durante la tradizionale battaglia delle arance, di essere fatti oggetto di lancio - proprio come vogliono la tradizione e l’Ordinanza del Generale - ma anche e soprattutto come espressione di partecipazione attiva alla manifestazione.
E’ un simbolo appunto di libertà che gode di una tradizione radicata in tempi remotissimi. Nelle antiche stampe che raffigurano gli abitanti dei dintorni di Ivrea, alcuni personaggi sono rappresentati con in capo il berretto frigio rosso. Naturalmente ai dominatori francesi fece buon gioco perpetuare una tradizione così vicina alla loro.
Si deve però notare una curiosità: i Pifferi e Tamburi indossano un berretto frigio corto, come quello tipico della tradizione francese, mentre Mugnaia e popolo portano una calza in lana rossa più lunga che scende a sacco sulla spalla.
Tradizione vuole che lo si indossi insieme ad una spilla in argento con i simboli di pich e pala.
Per tutte le curiosità sul magnifico carnevale di Ivrea basta andare su (da lì è ricavata anche la descrizione riportata qui sopra):
Occupy Toronto © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto.com 2011, protest camp, Canada, November 15, 2011.
Day of visit by renowned folk singer Gordon Lightfoot, whose 17 year old daughter Meredith is among the protesters. He spoke at length with the media in support of the cause. Later, he greeted my sister, who lives nearby in a group home, and shook her hand. After I saw him, I couldn't get the song, 'In the Early morning Rain' out of my mind. My late father had bought me my first album - by Gordon Lightfoot- when I was a bit younger than his Meredith, and that song was on it. It was a day of fathers and daughters, and memories...
I hear too often people saying that the protesters have made their point and now "should get a job', as if that's an easy thing to achieve. Not to mention that when you can find them, most jobs these days are underpaid, part-time positions with no future, benefits or stability. Many of those protesting are either undereducated or overqualified- and all in the same sinking boat, with the exception of crippling debts attached to the latter group. At the camp is a mix of politically motivated people who have chosen to be there, and others who evidently have no where else to go, but have found at the Occupy Camp a renewed sense of purpose, camaraderie and security- food and a safe place to sleep. They stand to lose the most when this is finally over.
People were asked to come by at 11pm that night to show solidarity as the protest had received an eviction notice and the police were expected to break up the camp. Fortunately there was an injunction and the eviction is now expected to take place at a later date- possibly on Saturday.
Most people at the camp reacted positively to the journalists taking photographs. An exception was Lightfoot's daughter, whom it appears didn't want to be identified as such, and another woman from Quebec, who was initially angry that I had been invited by a protester to photograph inside one of the tents, until she understood that I am a freelance photographer and don't work for any particular mainstream newspaper. Though at times I wish I did, as perhaps then I wouldn't be in this dismal, insecure financial situation, something which appears to be a shared concern with many of the protesters.
I just can't win. As i was leaving, I was berated once again for the act of taking photos of Occupy Toronto, but this time by a man waiting at the streetcar stop. He saw my Stop Ford button and my camera. On his way home from "working 7 days a week", he complained to me about his taxes, crowed about the ' warm, 5 bedroom house in High Park" awaiting him which his "hard-earned money had provided" (as he cast a dismissive eye towards the tent city behind him), showed me the callous hands of "a real worker" . He didn't believe that the police would consider using tear gas and tried to suggest it hadn't happened in Quebec City during the Summit protests, which I can verify as I was there. 5,000 canisters- I told him to look it up. His idiotic response was to ask if I work for Pravda (the Russian Communist party run newspaper, defunct since 1991 and now a tabloid)... hmmm... I wasn't actually aware that there was still a Cold War going on in 2011 Canada, but then again, neither is Toronto's Mayor Ford and company, who have been known to refer to some of "his" constituents as left wing, cycling Pinkos... (the people who didn't vote for him) , all of which explains the sprinkling of anti-Ford messages at the Occupy Toronto site. Here I was thinking only the suburbs had voted Ford in- but he has at least 1 supporter in High Park, who surprisingly takes public transit.
