Devils Tower (also known as Bear Lodge Butte) is a butte, possibly laccolithic, composed of igneous rock in the Bear Lodge Ranger District of the Black Hills, near Hulett and Sundance in Crook County, northeastern Wyoming, above the Belle Fourche River. It rises 1,267 feet (386 m) above the Belle Fourche River, standing 867 feet (265 m) from summit to base. The summit is 5,112 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first United States national monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The monument's boundary encloses an area of 1,347 acres (545 ha).
In recent years, about 1% of the monument's 400,000 annual visitors climbed Devils Tower, mostly using traditional climbing techniques.
As rain and snow continue to erode the sedimentary rocks surrounding the Tower's base, more of Devils Tower will be exposed. Nonetheless, the exposed portions of the Tower still experience certain amounts of erosion. Cracks along the columns are subject to water and ice erosion. Portions, or even entire columns, of rock at Devils Tower are continually breaking off and falling. Piles of broken columns, boulders, small rocks, and stones, called scree, lie at the base of the tower, indicating that it was once wider than it is today.
Fur trappers may have visited Devils Tower, but they left no written evidence of having done so. The first documented Caucasian visitors were several members of Captain William F. Raynolds's 1859 expedition to Yellowstone. Sixteen years later, Colonel Richard I. Dodge escorted an Office of Indian Affairs scientific survey party to the massive rock formation and coined the name Devils Tower. Recognizing its unique characteristics, the United States Congress designated the area a U.S. forest reserve in 1892 and in 1906 Devils Tower became the nation's first National monument.
The 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind used the formation as a plot element and as the location of its climactic scenes.Its release was the cause of a large increase in visitors and climbers to the monument.
Similarly, the 2011 movie Paul used the formation at the film's climax as an homage to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The Native American story of the formation of the stars of the Pleiades at Devils Tower is featured in the 2014 science documentary series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
It is featured in a 2019 episode of The UnXplained titled "Unnatural Nature", documenting and speculating about the formation.
Devil's Tower featured in 2019 film Godzilla: King of The Monsters as Abaddon resting.
Devil's Tower, by the name Mato Tipila, is featured as one of 34 discoverable natural wonders in the 2016 Firaxis video game Civilization VI.

Here”s to Daniel Lapp, Oliver Schroer, ELH, and all great fiddlers. Libation and music, like the tumultuous marriage of malt and hops, stand waiting with us at the crossroads. And look: here comes the Devil, whistling past the graveyard, singing in the midnight choir, bottle in one hand, a fiddle in the other, and that crazy smile…

3 Exposures at 1EV
This is my second proper attempt at HDR, in my first attempt I had problems with the foreground movement (flowers on a windy day) causing blur with the blended exposures.
The wind was less for this shot but still caused some blur in the foreground grass.
I tried the automatic alignment features in Photomatix and this improved the foreground but produced blur elsewhere in the shot.
So I blended both HDR conversions in Photoshop with a layer mask to help improve the sharpness.
Love is a flame, a devils thing
A violent storm about to be born
Just look in these eyes, see all the lies
All the things you see you cannot deny
And this flame that burns inside
If you get too close burn you alive
Just look in these eyes and see if they lie
All these words I speak you cannot deny
Got a light shines on me
Gentle light it will never be
See the flame in my hand
If youre playing with fire
You're playing in hell
Devils plaything in my hands
If you dont want pain
You dont understand
Got a light shines on me
If you wanna touch flames
Come unto me
Got a flame burns inside
If you dont wanna burn
Just walk on by
And the pain you're feeling now
Is nothing compared
To the pleasures I hide
Devils plaything in my hands
If you dont want pain
You dont understand
Got a light shines on me
If you wanna touch flames
Come unto me
Got a flame in my hand
If you dont want a fire
Step out of my light
Walk on by
Just look away
cause if youre on my path
Youre better off dead
Devils plaything in my hands
If you dont want pain
You dont understand
Got a light shines on me
If you wanna touch flames
Then come unto me
how can you not love Japanese?they are awesomely cool..

I've been reading a lot of Jack Kirby lately. Specifically his 70's material that was "Edited, Written and Drawn by Jack Kirby"
Until recently, I'd only read bits and pieces of the material through random quarter bin finds and loner copies from friends. I've read bits of everything but never a full run of any of it.
Now over the next month or so, I'm gonna read all of it in it's entirety!
So far I've finished the 1st Fourth World Omnibus and the Devil Dinosaur collection.
So far, I'm much more affected than I thought I'd be. The way the random Fourth World concepts weave in and out of each other is fascinating to watch. One idea is tossed out randomly as another is forgotten all while keeping the entire thing moving along a hidden track. Knowing how quickly the material was produced amazes me too. It's like some sort of Free Jazz experiment done in comics form. I look forward to see what's to come.
Devil Dinosaur in all it's wackiness has some really nice moments and some fun ideas. Time travel, alien robots. dino riders, and a bible parable are served out in primordial glory.
Having read the entire 9 issue run of Devil Dinosaur I thought I'd see what I had come away with. The brotherhood between Moon-Boy and Devil is the main focus of the series and what I tried to convey here.
Expect Inks soon.

JMWant Launches Over 3,000 New Products for Summer 2014
- A Welcoming Business Model and Platform for Online Sellers
SHENZHEN, China, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JMWant, one of China's most welcomed Manufacturers to Business (M2B) platforms, launched over 3,000 new products for the coming 2014 summer on June 26th, which attracted over 1,500 buyers to visit.
JMWant opened in 2005 and now has close relationships with more than 5,000 suppliers and attracts about 8,000 visits a day. As for its great success, JMWant's CEO Michael Luo says, "B2M is a new and welcome business mode which greatly narrows the gap between qualified manufacturers and buyer."
How JMWant Works
A seller on Ebay or Amazon specializing in stuffed animal toys would very probably have all its items labeled "Made in China", but that particular seller would rarely have the chance of sourcing directly from Chinese factories. Instead, they would have to rely on trade men in the middle for supply, who have made a profit before the seller has. Now the rules are about to change. JMWant makes it possible for small- to medium-sized online vendors to fill their shops with goods channeled straight from factories. By amassing large volumes of potential needs from these merchants, who usually don't have the means to reach out to quality Chinese producers, JMWant plays the role of their collective purchasing extension, endowed with the bargaining power to secure a favorable purchase price the sellers' size often denies them.
There are many Interesting products. Such as:

Advantages
JMWant prides itself on its close relationship with more than 5,000 suppliers across China, covering almost all major categories under the sun, ranging from women's apparel to electronic gadgets. Here, a typical supplier of original equipment manufacturers for big global brands would often have years, even decades, of experience in production for the western market, and are thus equipped with advanced quality control systems and certified by the prevailing credentials in its respective industry.
To guarantee the fine quality of products, all manufacturers that supply for JMWant are screened for their scale, consistency and ingenuity before they are introduced to the platform.
"In some respects, JMWant is a marketplace but more than a marketplace; it is a venue with clearance for their guaranteed goodwill, where sellers are spared the worries and sifting work themselves," Michael Luo said.
"Chinese consumers have benefited from the acquired taste of online shopping. They now enjoy cheaper, better products brought about by a leaner distribution pattern," JMWant's CEO Michael Luo says. "We believe there is a way to extend the benefit even further to outside China, and our first stop of market development would be the United States. On JMWant, manufacturers and last-stop sellers become ever closer. All kinds of quality, affordable products are available."

We spent a day a Port Arthur and visited Devil's Kitchen and Tasman's Arch on the way back. Great coastline, very very warm weather.
This amazing exhibition tells the story of arguably the Greatest Munitions Factory on Earth, which was constructed on the Anglo-Scottish Border between scenic Dornock in Scotland and bustling Longtown in England. During 1915, Britain was at a massive disadvantage in the early part of the Great War through lack of a decent and consistent supply of quality ammunition.
That is until 30,000 women and men travelled from all over the world to come and work in this one massive factory, purpose built by the government on the northern shore of the Solway Firth specifically to mass manufacture cordite: a smokeless explosive usually made from nitro-glycerine and nitro-cotton that would go on to turn the battle around! Within 2 years this one uber factory was producing 1,100 tons of cordite a week, which was more than all the other munitions plants in Britain put together!
Devils Tower in Wyoming in the Northwestern edge of the Black hills. It is formed of igneous rock, the solidifed lava tube of an extinct volcano. It is considered holy sacred ground by Native Americans of the area. (primarily the Lakota and sioux tribes)
This is Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. 22 beautifully crafted islands in Lake Superior positioned off the coast of the Bayfield Peninsula in northern Wisconsin.
Centuries of wave action, freezing, and thawing have sculpted shorelines throughout Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Some of the Great Lakes’ most spectacular scenery occurs where these forces interact with sandstone of the Devils Island Formation to create extensive sea caves.
Nature has carved delicate arches, vaulted chambers, and honeycombed passageways into cliffs on the north shore of Devils Island, Swallow Point on Sand Island, and along the mainland near the Lakeshore’s western boundary. The sea caves is Superior’s ever-changing handiwork.
Eggs are a great source of protein and are relatively inexpensive. If the eggs come from hens who are free-ranging and allowed to eat bugs and weeds or if the hens are fed a high Omega 3 diet of flax or fish meal, the eggs will be higher in Omega 3 fatty acids. Check out Mom's deviled egg recipe to make a nutritious and portable meal.

Devil's Gap is a Natural Pass through which the Northern Extensions Railway was built in 1875. To-day this natural rock-cut still in use by the CNR, can be seen from looking west from Highway 11, just south of the Muskoka Store, about 5 kilometers south of Gravenhurst.
The Tasmanian Devil is endemic to Tasmania [Australia] and the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) has had a devasting impact on their population.
16th December 2007. I volunteered on the Corinna/Savage River 'Devil' monitoring trip.
Alex - female weighed 6.2kg, born 2005. Had 4 active teats. Showed no signs of DFTD.

It was such a hot day, maybe our last of summer who knows, but there was like a slight mist that sat on the Downs
He's so awesome and evil. XD I'm so glad to finally get him, after waiting for such a long time! Anyway, I think he's going to be my Neo Noir's boyfriend, because they look quite similar. Sebastian didn't arrive alone, so I'll take some more photos of my other new arrival soon ^_^

Questo è un report lungo e breve al tempo stesso, sulla tradizionale festa dal sapore sacro e profano con radici pagane, chiamata "U Ballu di Diavuli" (il Ballo dei Diavoli) che ho realizzato quest'anno durante il pomeriggio di Pasqua nel paese siciliano di Prizzi, in provincia di Palermo: questa festa, che ha origini medioevali, è la rappresentazione dell'eterna lotta del Male (due Diavoli e la Morte) contro il Bene (il Cristo e la Madonna). I Diavoli indossano una tuta di lana di colore rosso (il colore del fuoco dell'Inferno...), indossando anche una vistosa maschera di ferro con una grande bocca adornata da grossi denti e da una lingua penzoloni, maschera che è sormontata da due corna, posteriormente rivestita da un vello di caprone che ricopre spalle e parte della schiena (un Diavolo ha un vello nero, l'altro Diavolo un vello bianco), infine entrambi i Diavoli stringono tra le mani pezzi di catene di ferro, che vengono agitate e fatte sbattere contro le stesse maschere; la Morte indossa una tuta di lana di colore giallo ocra, indossa una maschera di cuoio sempre di colore giallo, che assomiglia ad un teschio, dalla cui bocca escono dei lunghi denti, essa stringe tra le mani uno "strumento di morte" molto simile ad una balestra medioevale. La festa ha inizio la mattina di Pasqua, la Morte insieme ai due Diavoli (che sono diventati ad un certo momento, anche quattro, per coinvolgere più passanti) scorazzano per le vie del paese di Prizzi, coinvolgendo coi loro scherzi e moine, i passanti...i quali vengono invitati a ballare assieme a loro al suono ben ritmato della banda musicale; spesso i due Diavoli "catturano l'anima" di un passante, il quale per poter vedere la sua anima liberata....deve rilasciare un piccolo obolo simbolico ....Purtuttavia, il nome della festa "il Ballo dei Diavoli" trae origine da un momento molto particolare della manifestazione, allorquando le due statue, quella del Cristo Risorto e quella Madonna si trovano l'una di fronte l'altra per potersi incontrare (U 'Ncontru): è qui, tra le due statue, che i due Diavoli e la Morte inscenano un andirivieni fatto di balli, salti, moine...con lo scopo di impedire questo incontro, però… le due statue, per nulla intimorite dalle forze nefaste del Male, finiscono col chiudono tra loro, senza vie di fuga, i Diavoli e la Morte .... che vengono così trafitti dalle spade degli Angeli (messi a guardia del Cristo Risorto); finalmente la Madre ed il suo Figlio possono incontrarsi, in un tripudio di gioia dei devoti, col Bene che ha così sconfitto le forze del Male...
