The Man and Matter Series:
The Man and Matter series consist of 12 steel sculptures installed along the Kangaroo Point Cliffs Boardwalk. Originally, these sculptures were commissioned for the riverside promenade of Brisbane’s World Expo '88.
Referencing the World Expo '88 theme of ‘Leisure in the Age of Technology’, Cole considers the relationships between humans and technology through simple visual symbology and the redressing of traditional limitations of sculpture.
The iconic red figures are a lasting homage to World Expo '88, and a recognition of Brisbane’s advancement into the 21st century.
This artwork has recently been restored, as part of Council’s artwork restoration and relocations works for the 30th anniversary.
The Kangaroo Point Cliffs:
The Kangaroo Point Cliffs below Main Street, River Terrace, and Lower River Terrace, Kangaroo Point, are the remnant evidence of extensive non-indigenous quarrying over 150 years (1826 - 1976). They have played a significant role in the development of the city and port of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, since the 1820s. They are a distinctive landscape feature which, along with the Story Bridge and the Brisbane City Hall, has acquired iconoclastic status in the Brisbane townscape. The cliffs contain the best known outcrop of Brisbane Tuff, the distinctive pink and green building stone used in some of Brisbane's earliest (1820s and 1830s) public buildings; in base courses, retaining walls, side walls, and cellars of 19th century free settlement buildings; and in later municipal and government works such as roadmaking, kerbing, wharves, and marine walls.
The Kangaroo Point 'Cliffs' which Aborigines knew prior to European settlement, were steep rocky slopes with boulder outcrops and vegetation. The earliest identified historical reference to the Kangaroo Point Cliffs was made by New South Wales Surveyor-General John Oxley, during his exploration of the Brisbane River in early December 1823, when he noted in his field book a "high, rocky bank" below what is now River Terrace, Kangaroo Point. An 1844 survey plans prepared by surveyor James Warner, the high ground of Kangaroo Point was described as a "bold rocky ridge", much of which is still evident in late 19th century photographs of Kangaroo Point.
Following the removal of the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement from Red Cliff Point to the Brisbane River (North Brisbane) around May 1825, the river flats at the northern end of Kangaroo Point were cleared and planted with wheat and maize to supply food for the new settlement, and 1826 Commandant Logan opened a quarry at the base of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, to supply stone for his building works at North Brisbane. According to Allan Cunningham's August 1829 survey of Brisbane Town, this early quarry was located opposite the Botanical Gardens, at the "highest point of a wooded ridge", in the vicinity of the later Naval Stores. The rock was punted across the river to Stone Wharf, about 150 metres upstream from the present Edward Street ferry landing.
The stone quarried from the Kangaroo Point Cliffs was known as 'porphyry (later Brisbane Tuff), a consolidated volcanic ash or rhyolitic ignimbrite deposited during the late Triassic age following a Nuee Ardent (glowing cloud) eruption. These eruptions are generally violent and voluminous and the erupted body moves with great speed for long distances, up to 100km if the relief is sufficient. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs are made up of such a flow or of two almost consecutive flows. These volcanic rocks are of the same age and chemical composition as the more coarsely crystallized Enoggera Granite and other granite bodies north-west of Brisbane. All may have originated from the same parent meltrock and magma in the final stages of consolidation of the eastern Australian mountain belt, 230 - 220 million years ago.
During the 1820s and 1830s stone from the Kangaroo Point quarry was used to construct a number of government buildings at the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement, including the Commissariat Store (1828-1829) and its William Street retaining wall.
Following the closure of the penal colony and the opening of Moreton Bay to free settlement in February 1842, Brisbane's earliest suburb, Kangaroo Point, was surveyed into suburban allotments, auctioned in December 1843. The lower areas of the Point, which had been cleared during the convict era for cropping purposes, and which had easy access to the river, attracted various early industries, including a boiling down works, a soap and candle factory, ship building, foundries, and sawmills. By the 1850s, there were some 80 to 90 houses on the peninsula, including several fine residences along Main Street.
From 1842 the Kangaroo Point Quarry was rented to private builders, including John Petrie, until placed under the control of the newly established (September 1859) Brisbane Municipal Council in 1860. By this date, however, only two small quarry faces had been opened - one below Saint Mary's Church and the other below the later TAFE college (now demolished). The Municipal Council continued to sub-lease the quarry to private builders, under whom the quarry mainly supplied stone ballast to ships. This wasteful use of the stone and the manner in which it was quarried was of particular concern to the Rector of Saint Mary's Church located on the cliff above, resulting in the Colonial Government resuming control of the quarry in 1864. By the mid-1880s the quarry face extended a little over 100 metres, or about one-eighth the length of the present worked-out quarry face.
In 1880 the entire length of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs below River Terrace from Leopard Street to Saint Mary's Church was placed under control of the Brisbane Municipal Council as a Temporary Reserve for Public Purposes subject to the right of the Government to use it for works in progress and to resume any land it might require for wharfage, railway and quarrying purposes (QGG 26 June 1880). This heralded Government construction in the early 1880s of new coal wharves at the foot of the southern end of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, adjacent to the South Brisbane Dry Dock. The new wharves were serviced by a branch rail line and siding, which necessitated the cutting back of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs below Lower River Terrace.
Until the mid-1880s the export of coal from the West Moreton district was frustrated by a lack of direct access to deep water wharves for bunkering of coal onto ships for export from Brisbane. Coal came into Brisbane and was loaded onto drays for transport to the wharves. To facilitate the more efficient handling of coal for export, various extensions to the railway system were proposed and in 1880 an extension to the Ipswich-Brisbane lin,e branching off at South Brisbane Junction (later known as Corinda) between Sherwood and Oxley, and coming around to Woolloongabba and South Brisbane via Yeerongpilly, was approved. The project included a sidings branch to new coal wharves adjacent to the Dry Dock at South Brisbane. The contract for the wharves and sidings branch was awarded to Acheson Overend & Co. After a number of delays, the line was finally opened in 1884.
After construction of the wharf, it was found necessary to remove a bar of rock in the river which prevented the proper use of the two 4.5 tonne (10-ton) steam cranes installed on the wharf. Overend & Co. undertook the removal of the rock bar and constructed an additional 18mx12m (60ft x 40ft) jetty with a 6.8 tonne (15-ton) steam crane for coaling large ocean vessels. Coal traffic from the wharf at South Brisbane flourished and in 1900 additional siding accommodation was constructed and a travelling crane installed replacing crane number 4. This travelling crane dominated the South Brisbane vista along the river for many years. By the mid-20th century oil fuel was replacing coal and the bunkering of coal declined. In 1960 the rails were removed from the wharf and the wharf was demolished in 1974.
In 1886 - 1888, as part of Queensland's marine defence strategy, the Colonial Government constructed a depot for the Queensland Marine Defence Force at the foot of the northern end of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, on the floor of the earlier Kangaroo Point Quarry. Established to provide storage, repair, and training facilities for the colony's modest but growing fleet of marine defence vessels and newly established Naval Brigade, the Depot originally comprised two two-storeyed timber buildings roofed with galvanized corrugated iron and resting on stone foundation walls with concrete footings. These buildings contained lecture rooms; a gun battery for training; store rooms; carpenters' shops; workshops for ship repairs; and a torpedo storeroom/workshop. A wharf was erected in 1887 - 1888, and a flight of timber stairs was constructed 1890 to provide access up the cliff to Amesbury Street and Saint Mary's Church, which served as the Naval Chapel for many years. A concrete boatslip was constructed 1900.
The Depot remained the operational base of the Queensland Marine Defence Force until the formation of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) after Federation in 1901. The Kangaroo Point Depot remained the principal training facility for Queensland naval reservists until the construction of a depot at Alice Street in the 1920s. On the 31st of October 1959 the RAN handed over the Kangaroo Point Depot to the Australian Army, which used it to accommodate its 32nd Small Ships Squadron. In 1984 the Army removed its Small Ships Squadron to Bulimba, and the Kangaroo Point Depot was vacated. In 1986/87 the site was transferred to the Brisbane City Council.
Only one of the former Naval Depot buildings (No.2 Store) survives. The former Naval Brigade Depot was entered permanently in the Queensland Heritage Register in October 1992.
In 1898 the Marine Department opened a new quarry south of the Naval Depot, about halfway along River Terrace, to supply rock for river walls at Hamilton. This was the start of the scheme of dredging and training walls devised by EA Cullen, appointed Engineer of Harbours and Rivers in 1902, to complete the development of the river port of Brisbane. The Department of Harbours and Rivers (later the Department of Harbours and Marine) used the Kangaroo Point Cliffs quarry for marine work until 1976. In the period 1898 to 1919, this work included: the training walls or revetments which contain the dredgings of the reclamation of the tidal flats for industry at Hamilton (1898 - 1900), Doughboy (1900), Coxen Point, and Lytton; the training walls which regulate tidal flow and link Parker, Bulwer, Gibson, and other estuarine islands with the mainland; and the stone pitching of the river banks at the City Botanic Gardens. By 1919, more than half a million tones of stone for these walls had been removed from the Kangaroo Point Quarry. In 1928, stone from the Kangaroo Point Quarry was used to double the height of the Lytton training wall and to shape and maintain other early 20th century training walls. Other Harbours and Marine projects utilising stone from Kangaroo Point included the Manly Boat Harbour and the new port at Fisherman Islands in the 1970s.
The rock for these projects was loaded onto punts at the quarry and towed to the work sites. Extensive quarrying by the Marine Department opened the rock face of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs between the Naval Stores at the northern end of the site and the coal wharves at the southern end, creating the dramatic length of perpendicular drop that distinguishes the Kangaroo Point Cliffs today. By 1976, when control of the Brisbane River passed to the Port of Brisbane Authority, most of the available Kangaroo Point rock had been exploited and the quarry was closed.
Brisbane Tuff is now exposed along the cliff face, providing an important source of geological information. The quarry floors and ridge of the cliffs are now important public park reserves and enjoyed as places of informal recreation. The cliffs are popular for abseiling and rock climbing, and are valued as a riverside walkway, picnic area, and vantage point - especially for Brisbane River and Southbank festivities.
Scout Place, the lookout on the top of the cliffs adjacent to River Terrace, between Llewellyn and Bell Streets, was erected in 1982 to designs prepared by the Brisbane City Council's Landscape Architecture Section, to commemorate seventy-five years of scouting in Queensland.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia 105 series was introduced as a lightweight main stream vehicle powered by powerful 1.6ltr (1570cc), propelling Alfa Romeo into the mass production league. The car featured a five speed gearbox, rigid axle and coils at the rear and servo disc-drum brakes. Power output is anything from 92 to 102bhp dependant on type and year,
Some early cars came with drum brakes all round. Its 1,570 cc Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine was fitted with a single Solex 33 PAIA 7 twin-choke down-draft carburettor, and produced 91bhp. The "TI" nomenclature referred to a class of Italian saloon car racing known as "Turismo Internazionale", and had previously been applied to higher-performance versions of the 1900 and Giulietta saloons. four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes and a brake servo were phased in during August 1963,. In May 1964 the gearchange switched from the steering column to floor
The Guilia Super was introduced in 1965, t transferred the technology from the racing TI Super to a road car, to make the most successful Giulia saloon. 1,570 cc engine with two double-choke Weber 40DCOE carburettors for a milder, but torquier tune than the TI Super with an output of 97bhp. Cars featured a more sporty interior, all round disc brakes For 1968, there was a suspension update, including revised geometry and a rear anti-roll bar. other updates included dual-circuit brakes, centre-mounted handbrake lever to replace under-dash affair, larger external door handles, and top-hinged pedals on LHD cars only.
The Giulia Super range was re-released in 1974 as the Nuova Super range, including the Giulia Nuova Super 1300 and 1600 This and featured a new black plastic front grille and a flat boot (trunk) lid without the characteristic centre spine. Otherwise the cars differed little from their Giulia Super predecessors and bore the same Tipo numbers with an S suffix. Production ceased in 1977.

New York City is a feast for the eyes. Every turn you take can lead to a wonderful scene, it's like walking onto the set of a movie which spans several eras in time. I so enjoy the show.
The Hole in the Road, Sheffield.

See also 'Sheffield, City on the Move' the promotional film (featured at the start of The Full Monty) which was commissioned by Sheffield City Council in 1970. According to the 'Sheffield Spectator', May 1971 the idea for the film grew from the misrepresentation of Sheffield in a German television film of 1965 entitled 'People in Sheffield'.

Former Elder-Beerman / Steve & Barry's store
The Forest Fair Mall was opened in 1989 and originally featured Bigg's Hypermarket, Bonwit Teller, B. Altman, Elder-Beerman, Parisian, and Sakowitz as anchor stores. By the early 2000s, all of the anchor stores original to the mall had closed except for Bigg's Hypermarket.
The mall underwent two major renovations since its debut. One was done in the early 1990s to make the mall more of a discount-based mall and cost $8 Million. Mills later took over the mall and spent nearly $70 million renovating the struggling mall into Cincinnati Mills, which opened in 2004. Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinemas, Kohl's, and Burlington Coat Factory later moved into the mall to replace the original anchor stores. Mills was later taken over by Simon Malls. After struggling to keep the mall filled, Simon sold the mall off. The name was changed to Cincinnati Mall in 2009. The mall reportedly changed its name to Forest Fair Village in 2013 but never officially changed any of the exterior or interior signs saying "Cincinnati Mall".
This mall is very modern for a dead mall. I guess it goes to show that some malls just can't be saved no matter how much money is poured into them. There are two other major malls within several miles of this one that were built earlier with more stable (in the long run) anchor stores like Sears and JCPenney. This mall was also built off an exit that didn't get nearly the development as around the area's other malls. The mall still seems most commonly refered to as Cincinnati Mills. Today, this nearly 2,000,000 square foot mall has only Kohl's, Bass Pro Shops (leaving later in 2015), and Babies R Us as anchor stores. The interior of the mall is (by my estimate) about 95% empty.

Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl feature prominently in Malcolm Lowry’s 1947 novel Under the Volcano as well as the novel’s 1984 US drama film adaptation directed by John Huston.
The legend of the two volcanos feature as the central story in Duncan Tonatiuh’s children's book The Princess and the Warrior: A Tale of Two Volcanoes.
In visual arts, Popocatépetl is the subject of Marsden Hartley’s 1932 painting Popocatepetl, Spirited Morning--Mexico, now at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
Several works by Dr. Atl feature Popocatépetl, among them his 1928 Self-Portrait with Popocatépetl, now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and his 1942 The Shadow of Popo, now in the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City.
Diego Rivera depicted Popocatépetl in several of his works, but arguably most famously as the dominating backdrop of his 1904 oil painting The Threshing Floor (La era), now in the Museo Casa Diego Rivera in Guanajuato.
Popocatépetl also features prominently in the Juan Manuel Martinez Caltenco mural on the upper floor Municipal Palace of Atlixco, Puebla. The murals cover much of the palace’s interior and represent an important Poblano contribution to the Mexican muralism movement.
Jesús Helguera’s 1940 masterpiece La Leyenda de los Volcanes in Chicago’s National Museum of Mexican Art depicts the myth tale of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl.

Tomorrow is the last day for this week's featured model! It has been awesome to share images from her photoshoot. I had a lot of fun working with her.
FORESTS
Forest are the most biodiverse terrestrial habitats on the planet and rival the oceans in their influence on the biosphere. The stabilize land, control flows of water, and modulate global as well as local climates. They also supply food, medicine, fiber, and building materials for people. About half of the forest that cover Earth before the spread of human inluence has disappeared: forests once blanketed about half of the planet's land area, but today, they cloak only about one-fourth. Even with these losses, forest still account for more than two-thirds of the leaf area of plants and contain about 70 per cent of the carbon present in living things.

Here are all three of the recently released Disney Store Feature Dolls, Ariel, Rapunzel and Elsa. They are new 16 inch singing Princess dolls for 2015. They not only sing, but each also comes with an accessory and have other special features. They also come in a sturdy reusable box with a satin carrying handle. They are available online and in stores in North America, and cost $49.95 each.
I will debox all the dolls, beginning with Rapunzel, who I think is the most impressive doll in the line, and the most different from previous singing dolls of the same character.
Rapunzel's inner box slides out from the bottom, not the top of the box. First you have to detach the "try me" switch from the front window by undoing two layers of tape. Once freed from the tape, it can be pushed back through a hole in the box to fall inside the box. The other end of the switch plugs into a socket in the back of the doll, and is detachable once the doll is deboxed. Once the "try me" switch is detached, you trigger the sound and lights by sliding the lantern back and forth a little way along her hand. There is a LED light in the palm of her hand that flickers while she is singing, and lights up the lantern. She sings about 35 seconds of the "Healing Incantation" song very clearly and just the right volume. The sound is better than any previous DS singing doll that I have heard. The gentleness of the song, with accompanying lights, and the beauty of the doll, makes for a very moving experience. I don't think I will get tired of hearing the song and seeing the lights on this doll.

Doll packs always get me, especially when they feature doll families. When I was growing up, there weren’t many options for expensive, large gift packs available. Sometimes there were Barbie and sisters sets, and you could get the mini Disney dolls together for certain lines. But beyond that, kids from my generation were not nearly as lucky as the kids of today. I immediately noticed the gift pack trend when I got back into collecting in 2011. There were Disney packs, showcasing most of the main princesses, there were huge Barbie sets, and even Monster High! I could feel my inner child craving these sorts of gift packs, and as time went on I was able to feed that desire. Despite not having much experience or fondness for the O.M.G.s, this Amazing Surprise! pack did catch my eye immediately. It was sometime before the 2019 holiday season, when our local Wal-Mart was stocking up on Christmas toys. I was intrigued, and mistook the set as featuring 14 O.M.G. dolls. I literally had never heard of L.O.Ls before, despite the fact that they’d been out a while (it’s that darn surprise packaging). I secretly was curious, but I never thought I’d get the set. The O.M.G.s were ridiculously overpriced compared to what I usually pay for dolls ($26 being the “cheapest” option). I also couldn’t admire the dolls in stores due to their secretive (aka stupid) packaging. How could I warm up to something that I couldn’t actually look at in person?!!! The one time I had seen Crystal Star at Target, I was less than impressed by the Betty Boop/Diva Starz-esque doll.
But then the L.O.L. bug hit me after seeing the tiny dolls advertised on the Glamper. I then found two #Hairgoals dolls on sale at Walmart in the clearance section. Upon opening them, it was love. And after ten minutes, I assessed that they would be my next greatest addiction. So I spent the next few days stalking the dolls online and searching high and low in the clearance section at Walmart. That’s where I found one lone Amazing Surprise! pack marked down. It was still wildly expensive, and only $20 off from its original price. Yet I couldn’t help myself. This was my ideal kind of scenario...a large set with the L.O.L. dolls I was in love with, AND the chance to sample two O.M.G.s and boys. PLUS the dolls comprised TWO families!!! After finding photos of them online, I knew I had to get this set, and it weighed on my mind all day. Colleen was just as on board with this poor financial decision. So one Friday night in January of 2020, we ventured out to Walmart to procure the costly set. At first I thought someone bought it since it was not in the same place. My heart sank, until I found it in the next clearance aisle. So off we went to self checkout with the ridiculously massive box in tow. Needless to say, we were more than happy with this decision. Although the wasteful surprise style packaging bothers me more than words can express, my love of the dolls could not be dampened. It was a great decision for us--I got more L.O.L.s, three fabulous boys, and two O.M.G.s who were the bomb dot com. I couldn’t envision myself forking over the $26 plus for one O.M.G. regularly (I won’t even do that for limited edition Bratz usually), so I thought this was the best way I could have two until they turned up secondhand. I have ogled other O.M.G.s online, but honestly, Downtown B.B. and Uptown Girl are my faves made so far! Also, I even got to explore the worlds of the Lils and pets ...things I would never buy separately, but love to get in lots.
In a strange way, this set is nostalgic for both me and Colleen. While L.O.L. and O.M.G.s were not out when we were growing up, nor were massive packs like this, it is something we would have been bonkers for. I can see us begging Mom and Dad to get us one of these to split for Christmas. Colleen would have wanted the pink, girly, Uptown family without a doubt. Plus, she would have been happier with the two girl L.O.L. dolls and the sole boy (who also pees--a gimmick she would enjoy). I on the other hand would have insisted upon getting the edgier Downtown family, who also sports dark skin (I always gravitated towards ethnic/darker dolls ever since I was young). Not only that, but I would have been excited to get not one, but TWO boys!!! The inclusion of the pets would have been a win win for Colleen and I too. We used to play with 90s Littlest Pet Shop creatures when we were very young. The L.O.L. pets remind me fondly of them, but they can do things like pee and spit. Colleen and I always had a very bathroom oriented sense of humor. So the fact that these dolls and pets can sometimes pee would have tickled our fancy. After opening and admiring the dolls, I told Colleen that I could envision our younger selves playing with this pack in a boarding house/apartment style game. The moment the words left my mouth, Colleen chimed that she had been thinking the EXACT same thing. I can see it now--us putting the dolls in my tiny, homemade, wooden dollhouse. Our families would live opposite of one another. Her dolls would be prim and proper until they were hanging out with mine. That’s when the little kids would all be running around outside the complex peeing in the bushes and fighting. The pets would be having accidents inside, and we would be on the floor in fits of giggles. Knowing how much this set would have sparked our imaginations as kids makes me all that much more fond of it!
