I have been searching forever for School's Out Daniella and Katie. If anyone can find them for under 12 dollars, please let me know. I have seen them only on Ebay but only for 20-30 each. Way too much, I think. 17" singing Rapunzel always seems to be sold out at the Disney Stores and online. Ariel is just on "buying next" list.
The OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft is currently heading towards asteroid Bennu. The video below was taken while the spacecraft was on approach to Earth to use gravity to slingshot out to Bennu. I estimate that the magnitude of this quick-moving object was approximately 17. Conditions at the time were terrible with high winds and the Jetstream overhead. More information on the mission can be found here - www.asteroidmission.org/objectives/.

This is a light green plaster pentacle.
Plaster casting: To make these, I first carve a clay pentacle to use as a base. After its baked, the clay pentacle is pressed into wet clay to make a imprint. I then pour plaster into the imprint and let it solidify. After a day or so, I flip the whole thing over and carefully remove the clay. The plaster is then painted, and in some cases, sealed.
The Dublin Women's Mini Marathon, known currently as the Flora Women's Mini Marathon due to a title sponsorship deal, is an annual charity road race ran each June Bank Holiday Monday in Ireland. The event is an all-female mini marathon over 10 km in the country's capital, Dublin.
First run in 1983, this event has seen its numbers rise through the years, with 31,000 women recorded racing in 2001 and, for the sixth consecutive year, upwards of 40,000 women participating in the most recent mini-marathon on June 6th 2011. Those to have won the race include Kenya's Magdaline Chemjor and Irish Olympic silver medalist, Sonia O'Sullivan, whose 2000 record time of 31 minutes and 28 seconds has yet to be beaten. Over €123 million has been raised for charity and a total of over half a million women have run the race, some doing so each year since the beginning.
It is the biggest single day charity event in Ireland and the biggest all-female event of its type in the world.

The current owner has plans to demolish the theatre and redevelop the site. No alternative has been found to save the Pantages.
This photo was taken in 2005, before the balconies had collapsed from the roof partially caving in, water pouring in, and the plasterwork becoming soaked then falling off (amongst other things...).

Around the time I first registered these mosaics, my sister was taking part in her school's production of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" - and, for me, the two have been associated ever since!
The fifty-year story of their creation, near-destruction, incarceration and eventual restoration is told in this Press Release...

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850.
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
Winter has finally set in. We had our first bout of snow yesterday, and although it wasn't very much, I took Vanessa out to enjoy it...
Hagia Sophia (from the Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Aya Sofya) is a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its dedication in 360 until 1453, it served as the cathedral of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople of the Western Crusader established Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1934, when it was secularized. It was opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.[1]
The Church was dedicated to the Logos, the second person of the Holy Trinity,[2] its dedication feast taking place on December 25, the anniversary of the incarnation of the Logos in Christ.[2] Although it is sometimes referred to as Sancta Sophia (as though it were named after Saint Sophia), sophia is the phonetic spelling in Latin of the Greek word for wisdom - the full name in Greek being Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, "Church of the Holy Wisdom of God".[3][4]
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture and is said to have "changed the history of architecture."[5] It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by Isidore of Miletus, a physicist, and Anthemius of Tralles, a mathematician.[6]
The church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 49 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years. It is the church in which Cardinal Humbert in 1054 excommunicated Michael I Cerularius - which is commonly considered the start of the Great Schism.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who subsequently ordered the building converted into a mosque.[7] The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels were removed and many of the mosaics were plastered over. Islamic features — such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets — were added while in the possession of the Ottomans. It remained a mosque until 1935, when it was converted into a museum by the Republic of Turkey.
For almost 500 years the principal mosque of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia served as a model for many other Ottoman mosques, such as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul), the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque.

@ Nicole: I generally like her books. It's chicklit only with some depth to it... the author doesn't write about birds and bees but about serious subjects without losing humor. This book is about a woman in rehab dealing with a drug addiction.

The Risco Bello Aquatic Gardens
The right of the main facade of the Hotel Taoro is one of the most beautiful gardens of Puerto de la Cruz . The current Risco Bello has two farms purchased by D. René de Radiguès in 1969 and 1974 respectively. The first, which belonged to the family of Peter and Magdalena Fernández Ritzen , Risco Bello was the House , which includes the eastern part of the current garden. This family house built on lava and basalt, devoting part of the farm to banana cultivation . The second , called the Caledonia House , belonged to the Reid family , English family owns an import-export business . Located in the western part of the current garden, nearest to Hotel Taoro , consisted of a British colonial style house with over sixty years of history. It was in this building it and Reid had introduced some specimens of flowers and exotic plants.
The Belgian couple arrived in Tenerife in search of the beloved climate that benefits the health of Anna Maria , wife of Rene , who came to recover fully from their disease. René design the garden as an act of love for her , working up to eighty years in restoring homes and the creation of the garden, which later transformed into water due to water supply problems of the time. It generated a real microclimate able to feed themselves .
After eighteen years at Tenerife, in gratitude for the happiness you gave them the island , they decided to share with the world the beauty of this little paradise , opening to the public in 1988.
The farm , about two acres , is divided into five terraces , from which a privileged view over the Orotava Valley and much of the north coast is appreciated , and can even be spotted in days of prosperity the island of La Palma.
This garden has a collection of five hundred exotic , tropical and subtropical plants, which are increasing day by day thanks to the collaboration of collectors family friends . It is now anticipated that about a hundred new specimens unknown on the island are incorporated.
In the five terraces, of different styles, water treatment is combined with lush vegetation , giving appointment suspension bridges , waterfalls , caves and fountains, creating an environment of genuine dream .
The first of the terraces introduces visitors to a tranquil garden with a pergola in the center and a water fountain inside. The first of the lakes , next to a lovely terrace - café, and gives an idea of beauty that hide these gardens. At a second level access the second of them , the largest , where we can enjoy an extensive collection of exotic fruit trees and a scenic bridge over the lake. Bordering the pond crossed a cave over which falls a waterfall that feeds the lake.
The third , planted with acacias , mimosas and palm trees, is decorated with rustic pools . Then we access the most personal of the terraces. Riddled with huge jars in and out of the pond, impresses with its profuse aquatic vegetation which include water lilies and papyrus . In the last garden sticking her Japanese-inspired bridge half hidden in thick vegetation .
Throughout the tour, ducks, geese , pigeons and geese enjoy mingling with visitors.
Usually described as a small corner of paradise , or aquatic as authentic poetry, also César Manrique, a family friend , was fascinated by the beauty of these gardens , described by him as " Symphony in Green " . One of its current owners , Bernadette of Radiguès , remember the words spoken by his father praising Manrique its work to respect the natural environment : "I am the artist of white , gray , blue and black colors To you I give the prize. the green gardens of Canary

14th Street in front of the Colorado Convention Center. A couple outside here (both wearing plaid shirts and shorts here) was asking for money. The story the young woman gave was that their daughter had come to the convention center for some kind of animal related conference and their car, she pointed to a current model, clean gold car that was tightly parked between two others, ran out of gas. The thing is, our conference was the only one going on at the time, their was no "daughter" in sight, the car was well parked (so it wasn't completely out of gas when it was parked), and most people that well dressed in that current of a car have credit cards...and there was plenty of free transportation to get them to a bank. I did give the woman a few dollars, not the ten she requested, but I felt it was a scam.
Lookin good, I think. Lots of bondo and primer to get to this point. All the major parts are there, but it needs bookoo bits and pieces.
Ancient Perge.....The ancient city of Perge near Antalya in Turkey is now an impressive archaeological site containing a wealth of ancient ruins, mostly dating back to the Roman period, though the city itself has a history dating back well into antiquity. The current city is said to have been founded in circa 1000BC, though settlements may well have existed here earlier; in fact Perge was mentioned in a Hittite tablet discovered in 1986. Though the early history of Perge is more obscure, it is known that the site was captured by the Persians and then later by the armies of Alexander the Great in around 333BC. It then became part of the Seleucid Kingdom. The Romans arrived in Perge in approximately 188BC and built most of the sites seen there now, including its once 15,000-seat theatre, the agora, gymnasium, baths and necropolis. During its time under Rome's control the city went on to become an important Roman city and later Byzantine centre. During this period Perge underwent what would probably be its golden age, with a wealth of new public and private buildings and monuments being constructed. Indeed, in the later Roman period Perge became an important Christian city and it is believed that Saint Paul spent time here. During and after the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the city was subjected to a number of attacks and was abandoned during this time. Today, though Perge may not be as well-known as many ancient Roman cities, there is plenty to see and it’s not far from the popular resort of Antalya. Among the ruins visitors can explore the wonderful colonnaded main streets, the ancient theatre and the 12,000 seat Roman stadium. Also found at the site are the remains of Roman baths, the city’s imposing gates and a number of other ruins, including the impressive 2nd century AD Nymphaeum. In addition, many of the statues and other finds excavated at Perge can now be found in the Antalya Museum.
Boscarne Junction is currently one terminus of the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. Formerly, it was the point at which the GWR's Bodmin branch met the Southern Railway's line to Wadebridge, which was opened by the Bodmin & Wadebridge Railway in 1834, taken over by the LSWR in 1846, but not connected to the rest of the LSWR network until 1895, 7 years after the GWR branch opened.
This photo is looking down the trackbed of the former line towards Wadebridge.
