....the Spanish Inquisition! Every Halloween my High School bud C.R. would have a costume party at his house in First Colony subdivision. I think this is either from my junior year or senior year. I decided to come as "The Spanish Inquisition", from the Monty Python sketch of the same name. We were all massively Monty Python geeks in High School, watching it religiously on PBS every weekend, and The Benny Hill Show on the WB, Channel 39. Only place on network/public television you could catch brief frontal female nudity without paying for cable. Partial answer to a High School boy's dream...(we were all horny little bastards and mostly still are, just less dorky).

NOBODY expects the Imperial Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Emperor.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

  

(I blame my son for this joke.)

Processions, an element in all ceremonial, are to be found, as we should expect, in almost every form of religious worship. The example of the processions with the Ark in the Old Testament (cf. especially 2 Samuel 6 and 1 Kings 8) and the triumphant entry of our Saviour into Jerusalem in the New were probably not without influence upon the ritual of later ages. Even before the age of Constantine, the funeral processions of the Christians seem to have been carried out with a certain amount of solemnity, and the use of the word by Tertullian (De Praescriptio, xliii) may possibly have reference to some formal progress or movement of the faithful churchwards, which led afterwards to the assembly itself or the service being called processio as well as synaxis and collecta (Probst, "Sakramentarien und Ord.", 205). About the time of St. Gregory the Great, and possibly earlier, two forms of procession played a great part in papal ceremonial. The one was the procession to the "Station", the other the solemn entry of the celebrant from the secretarium, or sacristy, to the altar. A good description of the stational procession is given in the St. Amand Ordo, n. 6 (Duchesne, "Christian Worship", 474). The pontiff, the clergy, and the people assembled in the appointed church, where the clergy vested and the office was begun. The poor people of the hospital went first with a painted wooden cross; the seven stationary crosses, with three candles each and a retinue, followed, and then the bishops, priests, and subdeacons; finally came the pope surrounded by his deacons, with two crosses borne before him and the schola cantorum or choir following behind him. As the procession moved along to the stational church where the Mass was to be offered the Kyrie Eleison and the litanies were sung, from which the procession itself was often called litania. The solemn entrance of the celebrant as he proceeded from the sacristy to the altar was of course a procession on a smaller scale, but this also is minutely described in the first "Ordo". The pontiff was again surrounded by his deacons and preceded by the subdeacons, one of whom swung a thurible, and a conspicuous feature was the group of seven acolytes carrying tapers, which make us think of the seven candles now lighted on the altar at a pontifical High Mass. In this procession to the altar the antiphon of the introit was sung. On certain special occasions, notably St. Mark's Day (25 April), which coincided with the old Roman festival of the Robigalia, and in Gaul on the three Rogation Days before the feast of the Ascension, there were processions of exceptional solemnity

Expecting a new member of our family. At the time we did not know that it will be our son Luka. :)

 

Strobist info:

2. Gray wall was close enough to get some light and create a backdrop.

I expect Bogie to come through the doors, muttering 'dames..."

I've taken a liking to Crocs, these are the first two of numerous pair I just bought, generally for five to ten dollars a pair on Poshmark.

 

One thing about Crocs is you hardly have to worry about size. Almost any size will fit. It doesn't seem to matter. Big, they seem to stay on my feet, even without the strap. Really big, that's when I might need the strap. Small, hey they fit perfectly. Really small, yeah they are rubber, they stretch to fit nicely.

 

The light blue ones were supposed to be my size, men's 7. I wore them quite a few times before I looked and they are in fact a split pair, the left is 8, the right is 7. Hard to tell the difference without looking at the markings. But what do you expect for five bucks?

 

The green ones are Men's (kid's) size 3; I think they fit much better. And they came with free curios.

 

The brown ones also marked men's size 3 but are about a half inch shorter with a deeper heel. Made in Chine, the green ones in Mexico. Go figure. The straps had been removed from the brown ones, but they also fit very comfortably.

 

Many more pair to see with the next batch of photos. But all of them, no matter the marked size seem to fit reasonably well.

RICHMOND, Calif., - More than 300 volunteers are expected to roll-up their sleeves to rebuild the aging John F. Kennedy Park into a community gem. The City of Richmond, in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, is championing the one-day community-build park project in the City’s Park Plaza neighborhood, which will also include the installation of more than neighborhood trees in celebration of Arbor Day.

 

Built in 1968, the seven-acre park will be renovated to meet the changing needs of today’s park users and bring multiple benefits to the neighborhood. The project and process is a catalyst of a new era for park revitalization and cross-sector partnerships.

 

“I’ll be there with a wheel barrel and ready to work,” said Mayor Tom Butt who’s a strong supporter of expanding the City’s urban park footprint. “I applaud the commitment of the neighborhood residents who have been working with our urban planners to redesign the park into something we can all be proud of.”

 

Since April 2015, more than 400 community members have joined in the participatory process to design the park improvements. Together, they are helping shape future programs aimed at improving quality of life and providing connections to meaningful, safe, beautiful outdoor spaces for people of all ages.

 

“Our park has been underutilized for many years for a variety of reasons,” says Madalyn Law, President of the Park Plaza Neighborhood Council. “The rebuild of JFK Park gives our neighbors an opportunity to use the park again in a more positive environment with new features designed for all ages to come together for health and wellness and fun in the outdoors.

 

Generously funded and technically supported by The Trust for Public Land, the new design will feature a family zone with a children’s playscape, offering a fun environment designed to enhance youth's imagination around play, and build positive childhood memories. The park will be the home of the City of Richmond’s first Fitness ZoneTM and fitness trail. Together, the fully-accessible and senior-friendly fitness zone and the fitness trail encourage area residents to meet in the park and support one another in healthy lifestyle choices and strengthening social ties.

 

“Every Richmond resident deserves a quality park within walking distance from their home,” said Gina Fromer, The Trust for Public Land California State Director. “Good parks make neighborhoods healthy and whole.”

 

Other park improvements include a community garden, the installation of energy efficient LED lights, a 5,000 square foot mural, and a rain garden.

 

“With the new improvements going into the park, I have no doubt that it will be a community treasure for generations to come,” said Mayor Butt. “Open space that has a mix of passive and active use and is appropriate for different age groups means everyone in our community will be able to enjoy it.”

 

The upcoming volunteer action is part of the City’s on-going commitment to invest in its neighborhoods. Earlier this year, more than 100 volunteers came together to rebuild the softball field in an event sponsored by O.C. Jones & Sons, beginning a powerful movement for change in the neighborhood.

 

Chevron is providing funding for the Chevron STEM Learning Center and Community Plaza, which will provide a teaching space for local schools to use to explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as a picnic pavilion for residents to enjoy.

 

“We are proud to partner with the City of Richmond on this park project, which will help spark interest in STEM for students at neighboring schools,” said Kory Judd, general manager of the Chevron Richmond Refinery. “The John F. Kennedy Park provides a unique opportunity for our neighbors and students to enjoy the park space and explore STEM education in a park setting.”

 

In addition to the community-build park event, the public is invited to visit The 50 Tour: Champions of the Bay presented by Chevron. The tour will feature the eight Vince Lombardi trophies from the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers and a guest appearance by an NFL legend. It will also feature the Chevron STEM Zone, an interactive learning space that demonstrates how STEM fuels innovation all around us – through the lens of football.

 

"I've been a proud resident of the south east community for over 40 years and it's wonderful that some of our requested neighborhood improvements are coming to fruition," said Naomi Williams, President of the Pullman Neighborhood Council. "With the park improvements and the reopening of the Richmond Swim Center, we are seeing a south east renaissance."

I didn't know what to expect when I bought this album. I had never heard it before or even heard anything of it. Researching it didn't prove fruitful either. All I knew was that it had been recorded in Channel One and mixed by Peter Chemist. Backing by Sly & Robbie and production by Jimmy Riley. A very good start I thought and for the incredible sum of slightly less than $13 I bought the album!

 

Peter Chemist is for me perhaps the most underrated Jamaican mixing engineer. I get the feeling that he came in to the scene a few years too late because if he had been there right from the start of the dancehall culture he would have been a much more recognised talent. His two albums on Kingdom are both incredible and this one is equally as good although it is a bit short being only eight tracks long and slightly shorter than 30 minutes.

 

One thing about Peter Chemists dub mixing is that he really has a feel for pushing the drums to the front and working them hard. While say Scientist was the master of working the bass then I'd dare say Chemist was the master of the drums. The way he gives any rhythm a tougher than tough dancehall vibe is incredible.

 

Dubsplash '84 is produced by Jimmy Riley who I never really saw as a big producer and perhaps the rhythms themselves are a bit anonymous at times, still the mix certainly gives them the right amount of personality to keep this album interesting.

 

It was released on World Enterprise Records in what I only can assume must have been 1984 judging from the title. No real information on year of release is given on the cover. The rhythms are played by mostly Sly & Robbie and some other familiar studio names.

 

Too bad about the really dull cover art. When listening to this one I'm thinking there should have been a nice studio photo with the mixing desk in focus. Slapped on top the title in some cheesy 80's typography.

Maternity session with one of my baby plan clients who's expecting again.. can't wait to meet the new babe!

NS4793

I wasn't expecting a Traction Avant in there! Easily one of the rarest cars I found in a shabby state - I do have something else even rarer coming up though...

 

The XF Falcon is straight out of 1996 Gore...

Mummy wasn't expecting an artistic masterpiece, but doesn't think it's too much to ask of Lati for them to paint the lip creases evenly.

 

(Seriously, why is my basic Coco's face-up so much better than the face-up on an LE that cost $100 more? ~_~) Need to find someone to repaint both.... le sigh.

 

The reason #2 why I'm kind of cranky is that I noticed her original hands are screwed up--there is dirt embedded in the resin. Ahh, well... I'll give her the prayer hands if/when they come.

 

Edit: I just noticed one of her wings is broken. Clearly my Pury is cursed~~ ._.

We skyped Brianna and Morten from our deck. They are also expecting a baby this month.

We've had a lot of doggie drama around here since Ruff died. We never realized just how important he was to Pleasure and Minnie. The girls spent days just staring at his dog house, and moping around the yard. Then one day, we came home to find Minnie gone. She must have jumped over the fence. We kept expecting her to come home, but it's been almost 2 months now, and we can't find her anywhere. I still expect to see her waiting for us down by the creek whenever we come home from a drive.

 

With Minnie gone, Pleasure became even more miserable, and we were becoming very worried about her. Then one day, we realized she was pregnant. What a surprise! We thought Ruff was feeling too bad to breed, but he must have wanted to leave a legacy behind him, and he did. He gave us 5 puppies. Well, maybe 4. The black puppy is very suspect.

 

This is Ruffles, and we plan on keeping her. But the others are all available for adoption.

 

As a side note, Pleasure is a happy dog again.
