I happened upon this sheep drive flowing past me along US Highway 14A through the Bighorn National Forest (where many livestock permits are granted for grazing rights to private individuals and larger operations). Although when I first spotted the activity I it seemed there was no human involved (except for the truck near the top of the hill), there were at least five hard-working dogs assuring the sheep kept moving where they were supposed to.

Counting the “annuli” on the plastron helps provide an estimate of the tortoise’s age. Annuli become more difficult to count (and age difficult to estimate) beyond 8-10 years due to many biological and environmental factors.

Go on, admit you didn't know the counting vampire on Sesame Street was named Count von Count. Lots of fun to carve, if a bit delicate.
Viejo cartel desactualizado junto con la señal moderna en la fachada del Palacio del Conde Alpuente en Segovia.
Old and out of date notice over the modern sign in the façade of the Count Alpuente Palace in Segovia. It reads: "It's not allowed to park carriages in this square under a 5 pts fine". (5 pesetas = 3 cent euro).

The dwellers of the former temple, Lingshansi, count the days till their 150-year-old house is dismantled and everyone s relocated; I can see why.
The temple has a complicated layout further complicated during the years of compressed living. Inside its cavernous passages and courtyards one can spot some original ornaments, sometimes inside people's rooms.
Crosspointe Team did a free medical clinic in Jacmel and Chabin. They saw over 2,000 people in 4 days.
I will be gone tomorrow. (Taking a short trip up to the mountains.) So I'll continue this on Friday. I trust everyone is having a great holiday.

This was a cereal that I loved to eat when I was a child. The idea of a chocolate breakfast was thrilling to me (what kid wouldn't find it thrilling), but I also had a strange attraction to this monster-that-wasn't-a-monster. This was probably because Instead of drinking blood, this vampire ate cereal and provided children with toys and prizes.
"In late 1971 General Mills began production of the Count, along with his pal FrankenBerry , to compete with other character -Monster Cereals were a hit, combining a very tastey cereal with in-box prizes and a dominating character presence on both tv and in the aisle. The following year Boo Berry was introduced, completing the unholy circle" (http://www.peteglover.com/chocula.html).
Looking back, I wonder what made a cereal sponsored by monsters--particularly the vampire--so appealing to me as a young child. I guess it was the accessibility of the cartoon-monster. Instead of fangs--this vampire has two buck teeth. Instead of wanting to drink my blood, this vampire wants to give me chocolate and provides cereal boxes with toys in them.
Even though the Count isn't a traditional vampire, I guess there is an element of seduction involved in eating his chocolate cereal--it's decadent and rich and calls for some kind of ritual (at least it does for me). And I wasn't the only one who bought into this advertising scheme--as the cartoon character (characterization) of the vampire was a huge hit.
"If you somehow missed a childhood full of sugar and television; Count Chocula is a vampire into chocolate rather than blood. Both his design and voice reflect Bela Lugosi" (http://www.peteglover.com/chocula.html). If you visit this website, you can see the numerous "makeovers" that the count underwent from the 1980's-2001. It's interesting to see how he started off resembling Bela Lugosi and ended up an infantalized cartoon character who looks more like a Harry Potter House-Elf than he does a vampire.
It would be interesting to do a historical study during the years that the Count was "evolving." What was going on during this time in America that warranted these changes? For instance, why in the 1980's was there an upset over whether the Count was "too Jewish looking?" Why was it so important that the count continue to undergo transformations in order to become more "digestible"--no pun intended?
Possible Trajectories: New definition of Vampire, blood-be-gone (the vampire vice translated to something more "digestible," ethnicity (and explorations of ethnic anxieties), kid-friendly monsters, a-sexual vampire seduction.
PALAIS HARRACH
In 1435 Jörg Puchheim acquired three small houses on the Freyung and had them put together into a residence. By 1600, the baron and later Empire Count Karl von Harrach acquired this property and received here prominent guests, such as the commander Wallenstein, who took Mary Isabella, daughter of Karl Count von Harrach to his second wife. After a fire in 1683 the present magnificent building was under the direction of Domenico Martinelli, who decisively participated in the construction of the Palais Liechtenstein, built. It is suspected that the Palais Harrach was the first major construction contract for the well-traveled Italian Baroque architect. In 1844 there were major modifications under Franz Ernst Haarach that should make room especially for the gallery. At that occasion the façade to the Freyung has been completely redesigned. The construction follows today the Viennese tradition of the city palaces. It has three storeys and by the dreizehnachsig (13-axis) säulenflankierte (flanked by pillars) portal that clearly stands out from the dull yellow facade, you get into the transverse oval driveway. In addition, particularly should be mentioned the magnificent staircases in the palace.
Until the 30s was the valuable Harrachsche collection of paintings here preserved, but this was yet taken away before the start of the Second World War from Vienna and were kept until 1954 in various salt mines in the Salzkammergut, as well as on Castle Clam, Upper Austria. That was good thing, because in a bomber attack in 1944, the Palais Harrach was heavily damaged by several bombs. In the Mary's Immaculate Conception Chapel of the Palais Harrach is as high altarpiece the copy of a painting by Ribera, the original is located in the Harrachschen collection of paintings in Castle Rohrau/Lower Austria. By reconstruction of the existing Baroque building stock, the Palace was restored in the years 1948-52 and was till 1980 in possession of the family Harrach, who sold it to the city of Vienna. Due to the moving in 1994 of the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Art History Museum Vienna) in Palais Harrach currently exhibitions, recitals, lectures and concerts are taking place and are moving it so back into the center of Vienna's cultural life.

In lieu of today's school center Ungargasse 67-69 1030 Vienna, Aloys Thomas Raimund Count Harrach, Viceroy of Naples (1669-1742) in the years 1727 to 1735 had by Lukas von Hildebrandt in two phases built a splendid palace with two courtyards and one in honor to the holy Januarius consecrated chapel. This was the Garden Palais Harrach, to which a huge garden in baroque style with many pavillions of pleasure connected. The grandson of the owner sold the Garden Palace 1791 to Leopold II. Under Francis II the garden was planted with fruit trees, so this was referred to as Emperor Garden (Kaisergartengasse). Then on it stood the hospital Rudolf-Foundation and the Landwehr cadet school. The building at the end of Second World War fell victim to an air raid and was removed, only the Januariuskapelle partially remained preserved.
