From the fifth floor, I schedule my meeting with the moon
Stress, let it go, so it don't completely consume.
When the vegetables fight back, and the grass starts to sting
I yell up to Heaven to get me the hell out of this dream
I fell out of my stream of self-consciousness
And I've got welts on my mind to signify all my accomplishments.
No matter whose math you use to count to ten,
Progress will never rest in the hand that has no head.
Bought my brain a cane and asked it to be my pimp
You know, to make sure I don't stuck up in my fuck-ups
A little over anxious I was to bust nuts,
And find the answers making love, out of a canvas full of touch-ups
I dipped my brush into the what, I've wept for
And wonder out loud as I can, how long I've slept for
I should rob a pet store, let the dogs wild
I should close all the schools just to make the kids smile
Seize the limit, let the sky be the moment
Put the key to the ignition I'ma ride these donuts
And when it breaks, lock the door, walk away
There won't be nothing else to talk about, nothing left to say
You will have to be a math geek to really appreciate this one.
Funny, on the day I made fun of Tara for some fancy words (ennui), I get nerdy with numbers.
Also, this can be considered a tribute to Kevin and Marcelle. Although this is a relatively simple shot, it is SOOC with on camera flash, if I did not know them, I would not have thought to figure out how to do it. Thanks guys!

Dortmund
Hörde did not originally belong to Dortmund, but was an independent city. The name of the town of Hörde, founded by Count von der Mark, goes back to Huryde or Huride. This meant something like 'hurdle'. At the time of its founding, the Emscher swamps ensured that these hurdles really existed.
Hörde was first mentioned in a document from Emperor Otto IV in 1198. Hörder Castle was built by the Lords of Hörde in the 12th century. In 1340, Konrad von der Mark, with the approval of the ruling Count Adolf von der Mark, granted town rights to the village of Hörde. The Count von der Mark wanted to surround his arch-enemy, the city of Dortmund, with a ring of his own cities.
In the Middle Ages, wine was grown on the steep southern slopes north of the Emscher, on the “Remberg” (vine mountain). Today, street names such as Weingartenstrasse, Am Rebstock and Winzerweg are reminiscent of wine-growing history.
From 1388 to 1390 the Great Dortmund Feud occurred. During the course of the feud, Dortmund troops tried to take the city and castle by trickery; However, the attempt was discovered prematurely and thwarted. In 1390, a negotiated peace brokered by the city of Soest, which like Hörde and Dortmund was a member of the Hanseatic League, ended the dispute after Dortmund made a monetary payment to each of its main opponents.
Hörde was severely damaged by several major fire disasters, including three fires in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, Hörder Castle was occupied by the Spanish during the Thirty Years' War. Only twenty families survived the Thirty Years' War; two thirds of Hörde was destroyed.
From March 31, 1911 to March 31, 1928, Hörde was an independent city and at the same time the district town of the district of the same name, which existed until July 31, 1929. Hörde was incorporated into the city of Dortmund on April 1, 1928. Within two years in 1928/29, a new Greater Dortmund with more than 540,000 inhabitants was created.
During the National Socialist dictatorship, the Hörder Gestapo cellar was located in the police station on Benninghofer Strasse . A single, accurate bomb drop on the building from a small aircraft is attributed to an escaped torture victim and pilot. The murders in Rombergpark and Bittermark in 1945 were organized from the police station. The Bittermark Memorial and a memorial plaque at the police station commemorate these crimes.
There was a Jewish community in Hörde until the time of National Socialism. A monument on Friedrich-Ebert-Platz in Hörder Rathausstrasse commemorates this. The name Hörde is also engraved on the monument in the Valley of Communities in Yad Vashem, Jerusalem. There is still a Jewish cemetery in Hörde today.

Dortmund is the largest city in the Ruhr area. It has a population of 593,000 inhabitants, making it the eighth largest city in Germany. Dortmund was founded around 882. Throughout the 13th to 14th centuries, it was the "chief city" of the Rhine, Westphalia, and the Netherlands Circle of the Hanseatic League. During the Thirty Years' War, the city was destroyed and decreased in significance until the onset of industrialization. The city then became one of Germany's most important coal, steel and beer centres. The town expanded into a city, with the population rising from 57,742 in 1875 to 379,950 in 1905. Sprawling residential areas like the North, East, Union and Kreuz district sprang up in less than 10 years. Dortmund consequently was one of the most heavily bombed cities in Germany during World War II. The devastating bombing raids of 12 March 1945 destroyed 98% of buildings in the inner city center. These bombing raids, with more than 1,110 aircraft, hold the record to a single target in World War II. Post-war, most of the ancient buildings were not restored, and large parts of the city area were completely rebuilt in the style of the 1950s. A few historic buildings as the main churches Reinoldikirche and Marienkirche were restored or rebuilt, and extensive parks and gardens were laid out. The simple but successful postwar rebuilding has resulted in a very mixed and unique cityscape.

After visiting the Ruhr area three years ago, I did a revisit, since there was still so much to see. In less than six days I visited six cities, two museums, and I did some extensive car spotting by bicycle. I have hundreds of car spots to share and took photos of the historic or interesting buildings.
The Ruhr area ('Ruhrgebiet') is named after the river that borders it to the south and is the largest urban area in Germany with over five million people. It is mostly known as a densely-populated industrial area. By 1850 there were almost 300 coal mines in operation in the Ruhr area. The coal was exported or processed in coking ovens into coke, used in blast furnaces, producing iron and steel. Because of the industrial significance, it had been a target from the start of the war, yet "the organized defences and the large amount of industrial pollutants produced a semi-permanent smog or industrial haze that hampered accurate bombing". During World War II, the industry and cities in the Ruhr area were heavily bombed. The combination of the lack of historic city centres, which were burned to ashes, (air) pollution, and urban decay has given the area and the cities a bad reputation.

Since no shrine visit-counting-abacus is available at Hiyoshi Shrine, the stones on this latern have been used to count the number of times that someone has paid their respect. With each visit they have picked up and placed another stone on the lantern. It seems someone has visited this shrine ten times in a row.

"To the Kadabra System you should go in order best to know magic."
"But how will I get there?"
"Hmm, good question you ask. I shall have to transport you there myself. But hold on you must to that wand. It must not fall into the hands of simpletons."
"What will I do once I get there?"
"Train you must under the Master Abra. He will show you much. But beware of his two crafty assistants. They may want you wishes to make instead of magic."

It's raining... it's pouring.... I stayed in today. Wasn't even able to go for a run unfortunately. A friend of mine suggested that I'd be putting myself at risk by possibly getting sick(er), slipping and falling, or putting myself up for some other disaster that could happen to me while running, with only two days before I leave on a plane to London. No thanks. So instead I took some photos, sorted some Christmas pressies and then took a lovely, mood enhancing nap. I've been taking nyquil (nighttime drowsy cold medicine) to fight off a cold again (third time since I've been working with kids! I've either got a weak immune system, or the soap I use isn't helping! I've been soo incredible hygienic too! ugh!) Anyway, so I've been taking it and then passing out straight away at night having the most vivid dreams. I didn't feel like it wore off this morning either as I did not want to get out of bed for the life of me. So still feeling drowsy after work, I relieved myself with a mid afternoon nap which was absolutely lovely. ;]
I'll only have two hours to get a shot in on Friday before I leave for the airport... so it'll be a simple one I reckon. Tomoz I'm meeting a friend for lunch after work, hopefully running if the weather is good, packing, baking cookies for the kids at work, buying vino presents, packing, visiting with fam and then going to a graduation celebratory drink party. Ahhh! Reckon I should start packing now... I must not over pack... I must not over pack... I must...
Day .7.
I've made it to a week! woot!
As scallops grow within the mesh bags, they need more space. During the growing season, researchers sort and count the scallops, separating them into smaller groups of like-sized specimens. Sorting by size gives the smaller scallops a better opportunity to feed and grow.
Something to help you get to sleep!!!!!!!
Some of the many sheep that posed for me in Somerset, How can people say they are all the same & boring!
The fellow in the purple fez is Count Smokula, a regular at the Doo Dah Parade. I had tried to snap a photo of him and the genie (magician? wizard? fortune teller?) but they were surrounded by photographers and videographers for much of the parade. I finally managed to capture this shot with my long lens but I never got them full-frame. I would have loved to get a full view of those shoes!
The Lobkowicz Palace today
The Palais Lobkowitz (also: Palais Lobkowitz-Dietrichstein) is a Baroque palace in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. It is located on the square that was named after it on Lobkowitzplatz and is one of the oldest palaces in Vienna. The palace is the first major Baroque city palace after the second Turkish siege, when the nobility did not have to invest its money for military purposes only.
The facade of the palace, unlike its interior, still largely preserved in its original state from the time of construction.
History
The Palais Lobkowitz (left) in 1760, painted by Canaletto
Staircase
The today Lobkowitz square was to 1716 called Pig market, since by the end of the 17th Century the Viennese "hop-picking" was held. This was at the time also a Viennese execution site.
The original house on the site of today's palace was sold by Leopold Freiherr von Felß to the imperial Oberststallmeister (Colonel Stable Master) Philipp Count Sigmund von Dietrichstein in 1685. The Count also bought the adjacent bathhouse and let both buildings demolishing. 1685-1687 it was then the present palace built by Giovanni Pietro Tencala. Stonemason Ambrose Regondi from Kaisersteinbruch supplied hard stone quarry for the steps of the main staircase.
The Family Dietrichstein later commissioned several rebuildings of the palace. 1709 Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach for the main portal found in Vienna a unique solution, it was surmounted by an ornate, three-dimensional bow tiara. These carvings were by Giovanni Battista Passerini and Elias Hügel from Kaisersteinbruch carried out. Son Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach also was awarded a contract.
After several changes of ownership (including Wenzel Count Gallas), the palace in 1745 by Ferdinand Philipp Fürst von Lobkowitz was purchased. The palace was from then on until 1980 in the possession of the Lobkowicz family.
At the turn of the 19th Century Ludwig van Beethoven was a frequent guest in the palace, as the former owner Franz Joseph Maximilian von Lobkowitz was an important patron of the composer. Beethoven dedicated his third Symphony (originally appropriated Napoleon and therefore called "Eroica"). In 1804 it was (what was later called the "Eroica Hall") in the ballroom of the palace under the direction of Beethoven performed for the first time in Vienna.
After two concerts in the Winter Riding School of the Vienna Hofburg on 29 November and 3 December 1812 established Friends of Music a Society of Friends of Music (now known worldwide as the Wiener Musikverein). At the Palais Lobkowitz was the list available in which on the foundation membership interested could inscribe. The first office of the company was in the palace.
During the Congress of Vienna many festivals and balls were held in the Palais. Around the middle of the 19th Century moved the headquarters of the Lobkowicz family to the ancestral castle Raudnitz north of Prague and gave the palace in Vienna free to hire.
1869 to 1909 the house was exploited as a French Embassy. 1919-1938 here was Czechoslovak Legation housed, 1939-1945 (after adaptation by Josef Hoffmann), the "House of Fashion". After the Second World War the house was used as the seat of the Viennese Institut français. In 1980 the palace was finally purchased by the state and founded in 1991, after extensive renovation, the Austrian Theatre Museum (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Museum of Art History In Vienna Association of the Scientific Institute) used.

I saw a lot of these today. And I decided to put them down in a separate category on my counting sheet. At first I thought they were female common blues, but the more I looked at them - constantly moving, obviously - the more I doubted that.
Anyway, I chased one around until it kept still enough for some pictures and I'm pretty confident they're brown argus. There were common blue as well (which I also chased around to see the underside of the wing) but I didn't manage to get a picture of those.
I have come to the conclusion that counting butterflies is not something that can be done at the same time as taking pictures of butterflies.

The BNF's advice is to use foods low in energy density to make up the bulk of your diet. These are foods lower than 1.5 calories per gram and include baked beans, boiled eggs, or vegetable stir-fry with noodles.You can work this out by dividing the number of calories by the weight of your food. So your 180g sandwich with 360 calories has 2 calories per gram.As such it falls into the category of medium energy density foods, which also include lasagne, pizza steak and salmon. "You need to control the portion sizes of these foods and eat them alongside lots of lower energy density foods," says Bridget Benelam, a nutrition scientist at the BNF. Anyone for afters - these puddings both contain 215 calories Meanwhile foods high in energy density such as crackers, biscuits, crisps, peanuts and chocolate should, perhaps unsurprisingly, be eaten in very small quantities.However even when it comes to puddings, there's room to fill up. Instead of a couple of pieces of chocolate, try a chocolate mousse, the BNF suggests.And while you could go for a small bowl of strawberries and cream, go for mixed berries with low fat yogurt, crunchy oat cereal and honey.Feeling full The suggestion that foods high in water keep us feeling fuller for longer is increasingly substantiated by research.The idea is that the combination of food blended with water empties more slowly from the stomach than solid food on its own with a glass of water to wash it down.Pumping food with air may also increase feelings of being full.Catherine Collins, a spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association, said "feeding yourself fuller" was aninteresting concept."We are getting to a point now where people realise that more fruit and vegetables are the way to go and more luxurious foods should be saved for indulgence."But people still need to take in all the major groups - and starchy foods, meat and fish have to play a role."Salmon for instance is an important source of healthy fats."However, it's good advice to pad out your meals with foods lower in energy. "When you look down at dinner time, vegetables should be taking up a lot of room.A simple method of weight loss that you can try is drinking plenty of water as much as 8 glasses a day. Proper diet is focused on natural food intake. There are different abs preparation and abs training techniques that will help achieve washboard abs. The very deepest layer is the transversus abdominis, which acts as the body's girdle, providing support and stability and plays a critical role in exhalation. Closest to the surface are the internal and external obliques, which turn the trunk and provide the body with rotation and lateral movement. Exercise alone is great for expending calories, but without watching your diet, it's going to be a long, slow road to getting a six-pack.Congrats on taking the first step into your healthy lifestyle. All the areas you are talking will only trim down with healthy food choices. Machines are meant to focus/target muscle groups to tone the muscle or make it bigger/stronger. But by all means use the machines since it will increase your muscle and in return burn more calories which will help you lose burn fat. A sure way to get rid of does spots is a mix of strength training to get lean muscle and a good cardio routine to speed up the fat burning process. Hit me up at my youtube account with any questions and if you would like me to help you achieve your goal. Adios
Looking at pages of Peter Koch's edition of Joseph Brodsky's Watermark. Venice, 2008
I'm not positive I took this picture.* It may have been taken by Peter's wife Susan Filter. I found it among my photos of Venice, and I know I was sitting right there, but the size of the image suggests it might not have come from my camera. Still I thought it ought to be shared, so I gave it a polish and here it is! It was an amazing afternoon; the light from the water three stories below were dancing across the fresco behind the Count.
Brodsky was a guest in this palazzo while writing Watermark.
Here's Peter on the same trip. I definitely took that one!
*Postscript: I have now confirmed the original file definitely came from Susan's camera!
Rhyming text that repeats and is predictable introduces families of animals. It starts with one animal and builds to a family of 10 animals. Animals that live in a meadow are presented which includes: turtle, red fox, robin, chipmunk, honeybee, beaver, frog/pollywogs, owl, spiders and rabbits.
At the end the musical score for singing this as a song and all the lyrics are printed.
The illustrations are lovely and unique. Some are full colored and others are pencil-gray with a yellowish color.

Caring Counts: Ambassador Winant and the Special Relationship. A lecture by Ambassador Matthew Barzun at the US Embassy London, 7 December 2016.
I love the rest stops in the U. S. They are plentiful, clean and usually picturesque. This one is at Santiam Oregon which is about eight miles north of Albany. It is almost 11 and we had been on the road for about eight hours. We stopped for breakfast just outside Portland for an hour. The weather has turned beautiful but there is still snow on the ground. In this photo you will see a homeless woman leaning against the wall. When I saw her it really struck me how fortunate I was to be on this holiday. Most people in our crowded world don't get a chance ever to leave the place they are born in. I gave her twenty dollars, wished her a good day and send a silent prayer of thanks. Then I skipped back to the car with a song in my heart!
