Yakan women are excellent weavers, and are famous for their beautifully woven traditional costumes of cotton and pineapple cloth. The basic traditional garment for men and women consists of a tight-fitting upper garment with tight-fitting trousers called sawal. The shirt is open in front from lapel down to the waist, using up to 40 sequined or golden buttons. To close the shirt, a long string is crisscrossed from one button to the other so that when tightly drawn, the shirt closes from top to bottom. Over the shirt, both genders wear a tight-fitting jacket. Men wear a hand woven pis (head cloth) and a 15m-long kandit (belt or sash) made of red cloth called gilim. Women wear a short skirt over the trousers, around which a rectangular, hand woven cloth is tied. This cloth is the most expensive part of their costume because it is woven. Men and women wear the saruk, the Yakan hat. Some wear the hat over the turban and use it as a purse for betel nuts, tobacco, and money.
These two both have black-navy blue abaca-fiber tight fitting pants and jackets, with the rows of buttons (sequins) and multi-colored braid down their fronts. There are cotton multi-colored tufts at their necks and ankles. The man is wearing a purple sash, and woven turban. The woman is wearing a hand-woven apron around her waist. Both have woven strips around their wrists and ankles. She has cotton thread hair– very long– down her back. Abaca is a member of the banana family that has been used historically for clothing in the Philippines. This pair is about 18 inches tall.

Took some time this afternoon to put together the back purging for the frame jig. I'm going up to Vermont to get some lathe time at my bud's shop to make another cone adapter for 44mm head tubes and a few heat sinks.
I feel like this shouldn't even be an issue, but it is. Today I went to Victoria Secret and was in line for the fitting room. There were two girls, along with their mother, and one of them went to get the other a bra. When she came back the other girl said that it was too small, her mother agreed but the one who got the bra was shocked and said that her boobs are small. Their mother immediately scolded the girl for saying that her sister's boobs were small and the sister said "Give me some credit."
If this were me a while back, I would have taken offense in the statement but now I pity it. Does the size of your chest give you worth? Is having a small chest something to be ashamed of? Why should a mother have to scold her daughter for pointing out that her sister has small breasts? Is it wrong or shameful? And why should one's chest size give one credibility. I am proud of the fact that I can accept my small chest. If girls need to know that they have a large chest in order to feel worthy or good about themselves then what does this say about image.

The Application of Agriculture Pipe Fittings
Agriculture is the source of human necessities, food, housing and transportation, and the primary condition of all production, providing grain, non-staple food, industrial raw materials, capital and export materials.
Irrigation is an indispensable part of agricultural production. As far as irrigation methods are concerned, flood irrigation is usually used before irrigation technology is perfect. This method of irrigation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is likely to cause land salinization. Pipeline water delivery by types of nipple fittings refers to the use of pipelines instead of open channels for water delivery engineering measures.
Advantages of Agriculture Pipe Fittings
1. Water-saving
Pipeline water delivery is usually underground, so the evaporation and leakage of water are basically eliminated. Tests show that in light loam soils, pipeline water irrigation is used, and the water use coefficient is 95% -97%.
2. Irrigation is Timely and Appropriate to Shorten the Irrigation Cycle
Fast water delivery, timely water supply, and short cycle times are the advantages of pipeline water delivery irrigation over earth canal irrigation. It not only improves the field irrigation conditions, but also facilitates the proper and timely irrigation, and thus fully and effectively meets the water demand of the crop growth period, especially the critical period of crop water demand. It is also suitable for sprinkler irrigation, which saves water and efficiency and reduces your investment.
3. Wide Range of Applications, Economic, Good Benefit
Pipe irrigation technology is simple and easy to learn, and can easily master the use of pipe irrigation equipment. Different crops, soils, water sources and flows can be adapted to pipeline irrigation.
SANVO Pipes & Fittings specializes in providing various pipe nipples, such as steel pipe nipples, stainless steel pipe nipples, aluminum pipe nipples, etc. The pipe nipples provided by us are of high quality, reliable sealing performance, convenient loading and unloading, and are widely used in agricultural production.
We have many years of experience, and various pipe nipples and fittings are well-received. Also, we provide customized services to meet the different needs of customers.

2006, September 28th, Paris, France - Bringing the flair of the Milan's Fashion Week to the Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini released a special edition of their flagship LP640.
It's the work of Versace and sports particular appointments which are only possible with this type of collaboration.

Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 Versace - 2006
SUPERCAR ...
-
Built in a tiny series of just ten cars, the Versace LP640 is more a plug for Lamborghini in Milan and Versace in Paris than an actual attempt at a meaningful model. Upgrades are limited to interior fittings, custom luggage and styling touches.
Immediately noticeable is the monochromatic color scheme which limits the available exterior paint options to just Isis White or Aldebaran Black. The theme is continued through to the interior with high-contrast black and white seats.
Inside, most of the upholstery uses Versace's signature Greek Fret pattern. It's applied to numerous panels as well as the seat backs and bottoms. For the visually and fashion impaired, the Greek Fret motif can also be ordered to run along the outside of the doors near the sill.
To help motivate the wife, each Versace LP640 comes with a custom fitted luggage set built to the exacting standards that of the Couture Limited Edition name.
These bags, made for both him and her, include with the serial number and owner's names included on the label and on a palladium-finished brass insert.
A pair of calfskin driving shoes and gloves are also provided.
--
Many options from the personalization program can be ordered, but some, like the specially-designed black Herma wheels remain exclusive to the Versace edition. As an example, the Paris show car, chassis 01/10, is fitted with Lamborghini's new car fiber trim kit, automatic gearbox and transparent engine hood.
When launched at Paris, Lamborghini made the scene with two runway models decked out in the newest Versace threads. Surely if the Lamborghini's trim package didn't excite, the commotion of these risque ladies had many looking twice.
The Lamborghini Murcièlago LP 640 Versace is the product of a high-end co-operation between the Gianni Versace SpA and the manufacturer of supersports cars from Sant' Agata Bolognese.
The Murcièlago LP 640 Versace united in expression-strong way the style of these two large Italian houses and demonstrated seriously as facet-rich the possibilities of the Lamborghini of individualizing program „ad personam “are.
And it seems so fitting
And perhaps this is the end we've sought after for so long
And perhaps now it's done
Cause we've found all entire dreams
Of men and machines and
Turned them all around our
Indentical hands
Composing our commands
I cut the moon in half
And stuck a piece to my hair
It made the back of my head glow
Golden yellow and then I took
Ten stars on sticks and placed them in my small metal
Bucket and I gave the other half of the moon to you
Ooh, so you wouldn't forget me while i'm gone
Our Lady of Lourdes & St Joseph, Leigh on Sea, Essex
I passed OLoL&SJ (apologies for the acronym) on my way to St Clement and had to stop. This RC church had fallen off my radar and would have been missed had it not been so arresting.
Built in the 1920's to the design of the parish priest, Fr FW Gilbert, it stands as his personal testament to God. Full of good period glass, a very Catholic reredos, lectern and rood; unusually a SE tower but, to my mind, the most exceptional feature is the Lady Chapel which is a scaled replica of Lourdes.
A rich priest's homage to Gothic architecture with a distinct Catholic twist - I wish this was my parish church!
Neither Pevsner nor Mee covered it (inherent anti Catholicism at work?) so Taking Stock instead:
An idiosyncratic Gothic church of the 1920s, very much a personal work by the parish priest Fr F. W. Gilbert, but closely following the design of Charles Nicholson’s church of St Alban at Westcliff-on-Sea. The church was sympathetically extended in the 1960s. The interior is rich in fittings, some designed by Fr Gilbert.
The original church (now the parish hall) began life as a timber-framed, corrugated iron drill hall, originally built for the Essex Volunteers in 1900 under the supervision of Major Burles and purchased in 1913. The site of the present church was purchased by the Rev. F.W. Gilbert in 1924, using donations and his private money. It appears that Fr Gilbert acted as his own architect, his design borrowing heavily from that of the Anglican church of St Alban the Martyr at Westcliff-on-Sea, built in 1898-1908 from designs by Nicholson & Corlette. The Gilbert family promised £2,000 once building work commenced. The contract price was £12,234. The builders were Messrs Marshall & Smith of Grays but Fr Gilbert acted as his own clerk of works, using local labour, including unemployed men from Grays. The foundation stone was laid on 7 October 1924 and the church opened in September 1925. The presbytery was built in 1925.
The church was sympathetically extended in 1965-66 by Burles, Newton & Partners, in the same style and materials; the west wall was moved twenty feet further out to create a choir gallery, west door and porch and a baptistery with organ chamber above. Proposals to replace the old hall with a new and larger building were prepared in 2007 but have not yet been implemented.
The church is a large and handsome structure in a free Gothic style. The walls are faced with random rubble with stone dressings. Apparently much of the stone was quarried near Glasgow and was originally used as ballast in lighters intended for the Gallipoli campaign, which were later bought by a local ship owner, who donated the stone for the building of the church. The roof is covered in plain tiles. On plan the church comprises a long nave and sanctuary under a continuous roof swept down over north and south aisles, southwest porch, northwest organ chamber, southeast double transept and southeast tower. The gabled west end is Burles & Newton’s work of the 1960s and has a broad straight-headed doorway flanked by small trefoiled windows with a large six-light traceried window above. On the north side is a tall transeptal organ chamber and then the low side wall of the north aisle with three pairs of small trefoiled windows. On the south side is a small projecting porch and then the low side wall of the south aisle, a double transept with three-light traceried windows in the gabled ends and then the bold square south east tower. The tower is of three stages with a traceried two-light window on the south side of the lowest stage and pairs of small openings in the two stages above. The tower has a single large diagonal buttress at the southeast corner, crenellated flint-faced parapets and a tiled spirelet. The east end wall of the sanctuary is articulated with three round-headed blind arches. This wall fronts the garden of the large presbytery which is attached to the northeast corner of the church, and the church and presbytery together form a strong architectural composition.
The interior walls are all plastered and painted with plain flooring of timber. There is a west gallery in the 1960s extension and nave arcades of four bays of simple pointed chamfered arches on square chamfered concrete piers. Above each pier the nave is spanned by the tie beams of the roof and above them is a five-sided timbered ceiling. The aisles have lean-to roofs and are also timbered. The east bay on the south side is a small transept. There is no chancel arch in the usual sense, but the division between nave and sanctuary is marked by pilaster strips on the walls with a rood beam at half- height and a timber rib spanning the roof between them. The sanctuary has a single large open arch on each side and is richly furnished. The east wall in particular is lined to full-height with carved decoration. The floor is black and white marble. On the south side of the sanctuary is a second transept divided from the first by a double arch resting on dwarf double columns with ornamental Gothic capitals. In the east wall of this transept a chamfered pointed arch leads to the base of the tower which contains a Lourdes grotto.
The church is rich in fittings. These include the carved timber reredos filling the whole east wall, the extraordinary pulpit with figures of evangelists supported by cherubs, apparently designed by Fr Gilbert, who also designed the figures of the rood beam, the elaborate oak stalls in the sanctuary and the font at the west end of the nave given in memory of Col. Knight (d.1891) with its stone bowl on clustered columns and a surrounding floor of Cosmati work.
There is some stained glass in the church including the west window by Whitefriars and other windows by Goddard & Gibbs. The scale model of the Lourdes grotto was built by Cyril Psaila (d. 1931).

Treat Her Right brought the blues back to the Boston rock scene with a fresh new approach, one which rolled back the too-cool veneer to illuminate the blues-based origins of rock. The power and sheer joy in their sets made clear the reasons why Brian Jones and company sought an avenue for young, white class rebellion at the feet of blues revivalists like Alexis Horner- and later at the actual source: Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Robert Johnson, Lightning Hopkins. THR obtained a weekly residency in Cambridge's Plough and Stars, the tiny Irish pub on Mass Ave. The series of shows that they played at the Plough established the band almost immediately as the premier drinking and dancing outfit in the city. David Champagne remembers those shows, as early as they were in the band's history, as their creative high point." We took chances at those shows that we - that I - wouldn't later on, once we were established. Indeed the band would always excel in small club situations. They were just perfectly suited to sweaty, smoky rooms that were packed with bodies crammed against one another. Some of my favorite THR shows aside from the Plough gigs were a Providence R.I. performance that I attended at a sometimes strip club to shoot super-8 footage of the band, and a NYC show at a miniscule dive that featured the Maneaters as the opener. The Maneaters were an all-female blues-rock act I'd worked with at the Fort when their producer, Peter Halsapple of the DB's (later a key touring presence with REM, and Hootie and the Blowfish) brought them to Boston; they were a good match for THR. After that Manhattan road trip I got a bit closer to Mark Sandman. We got together whenever we could to go candlepin bowling at the alleys underneath the Middle East Restaurant. I liked Mark tremendously right from the start. His philosophy of songwriting was wonderful- less is more would be an understatement to describe it. Mark told me once that the best songs had only one verse and, if necessary, a single chorus. Mark is the kind of guy who always had something to play for you when you came by his house- some wild kind of Brazilian American music or an obscure delta blues tune, or a tape of a song written for one of his many ongoing projects. I remember going by there one day and realizing he was playing in five different bands, all of which with the exception of Treat Her Right he had started himself. It was hard to keep up...Sandman, Candy Bar, Morphine, plus side projects slipped between the regular bands. I thought of Mark as an extremely shrewd musical investor who had diversified his holdings to minimize the risks and maximize the potential for hitting the jackpot. As it turned out it was Morphine that Mark Sandman would take to the bank when THR became insolvent, and Morphine within which he would develop his songwriting formula to its' logical, hypnotic end. The Morphine article isn't too long, but there are a large number of Morphine pages on the web, both official and unofficial, so I know you won't starve for lack of data. There is also a page on this site dealing with harp player Jim Fittin's new band, the Coots. Very different stuff, a combination of blues, country swing and New Orleans-style funk and rock. Just take this link to the Coots page to check them out. As for Dave Champagne, he started a very cool band after THR called the Jazz Popes. I think Dave wrote some of his best material for that band. Although David's post-THR refinement of his songwriting style didn't meet with the immediate commercial success of Mark's Morphine catalogue, I felt the material was just as interesting and unique as the latter's... but with a few more lyrics thrown in. Dave and his wife Katie played the ocassional show together when they could get a good babysitter under the name the Heygoods. Their performances at Billy Ruane's Valentine's Day '98 show at Green St, Grill and at Skeggie's Spring '98 Plough and Stars gig were thouroughly enjoyable, and shows at the Toad in summer '98, and in September at Green Street Grille revealed an act that just kept getting better. Here's a few pictures, and the Heygoods article has a lot more. You can also find a link there to the new Heygoods

I cut the rigid insulation to size but since the tub isn't exactly square making it fit this exactly didn't really help. In the later shelters I just cut a rectangle small enough to fit.

This multiple-frame Hockneyized technique seems especially appropriate to the theme of the original drawing -- the difficulties of fitting in to pre-established boundaries. And the tags on each frame are still another way to tell the story. [Created with fd's Flickr Toys.]

"Bernkastel-Kues (German pronunciation: [ˌbɛɐ̯nkastəlˈkuːs]) is a town on the Middle Moselle in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is a well-known winegrowing centre. The town is a state-recognized health resort (Erholungsort), seat of the Verbandsgemeinde of Bernkastel-Kues and birthplace of one of the most famous German polymaths, the mediaeval churchman and philosopher Nikolaus von Kues (Cusanus).
Bernkastel-Kues is located in the Moselle valley, about 50 kilometers from Trier. The highest elevation is Mount Olympus (415 m above sea level), the lowest point (107 m above sea level) is on the banks of the Moselle. The urban area covers a total area of 23.71 km², of which 5.93 km² is used for agriculture. This makes Bernkastel-Kues one of the largest cities in the Middle Moselle in terms of area. Immediately neighboring local communities are (clockwise, starting from the north) Zeltingen-Rachtig, Graach an der Mosel, Longkamp, Monzelfeld, Mülheim an der Mosel, Lieser, Maring-Noviand and Platten.
Left tributaries of the Moselle are Heldengraben, Thelengraben, Waldgraben, Krausbach and the stream from the Wehlener Forest. The right tributaries of the Moselle are Goldbach, Heidesheimgraben, Tiefenbach and Schadbach.
Archaeologists discovered the first evidence of human settlement (3000 BC) in Cusa. Around 370, Decimus Magnus Ausonius, Roman poet and teacher at the imperial court, wrote his poem Mosella. Adalbero of Luxembourg, provost of the Trier Monastery of St. Paulin, became Lord of Bernkastel. The first documented mention of Bernkastel dates back to the first half of the 11th century. At the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries a geographer named a place Princastellum. This is considered evidence of a Roman fort in the 4th century near today's Landshut castle ruins; This is indicated, among other things, by fittings, ceramics and iron finds below the castle. The form of the name in the 12th century Beronis castellum was a learned relatinization that referred to the Trier provost Adalbero of Luxembourg (11th century). The third castle construction began in 1277 under the rule of Trier Archbishop Heinrich II von Finstingen . On May 29, 1291, King Rudolf I of Habsburg granted Berrincastel city rights. The Landshut Castle, which was built at that time, only received this name in the 16th century. In 1332 the city rights were reconfirmed by Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria's collecting privilege. Archbishop Boemund II became elector through the Golden Bull. According to legend, he was cured of a serious illness by a glass of wine - the legend of the Berncastler Doctor began. In 1401, Nicolaus Cusanus was born in the house of the Moselle boatman Henne Cryfftz (Krebs), which can be visited. In 1451, the St. Nicholas Hospital (Cusanusstift), a hospital for the poor, was built. In 1505, the name Landshut appeared for the first time for the archbishop's castle in a sovereign decree from James II. In 1512, Emperor Maximilian stayed in Bernkastel on his way to the Reichstag in Trier. The plague raged in Bernkastel in 1627 and in Kues in 1641. In 1692, Landshut Castle fell victim to a fire and has been in ruins ever since. In 1787 the Electorate of Berncastel had 4,743 inhabitants. From 1794 to 1814 Bernkastel was a cantonal town under French rule; at the Congress of Vienna (1815) Bernkastel and Kues were added to the Kingdom of Prussia. Bernkastel became the seat of the Bernkastel mayor's office and in 1821 the seat of the Bernkastel district . In 1848 the revolution also came to Bernkastel: the black, red and gold flag was hoisted at the town hall and a vigilante group was formed. The first road bridge between Bernkastel and Kues was built in 1872/74, and the first rail connection in 1882/83.
The town in its current form was created on April 1, 1905 through the merger of the town of Bernkastel with the wine-growing village of Kues opposite.

Mosel (German: [ˈmoːzl̩]) is one of 13 German wine regions (Weinbaugebiete) for quality wines (Qualitätswein, formerly QbA and Prädikatswein), and takes its name from the Mosel River (French: Moselle; Luxembourgish: Musel). Before 1 August 2007 the region was called Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, but changed to a name that was considered more consumer-friendly. The wine region is Germany's third largest in terms of production but some consider it the leading region in terms of international prestige.
The region covers the valleys of the rivers Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer from near the mouth of the Mosel at Koblenz and upstream to the vicinity of Trier in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The area is known for the steep slopes of the region's vineyards overlooking the river. At 65° degrees incline, the steepest recorded vineyard in the world is the Calmont vineyard located on the Mosel and belonging to the village of Bremm, and therefore referred to as Bremmer Calmont. The Mosel is mainly famous for its wines made from the Riesling grape, but Elbling and Müller-Thurgau also contribute to the production, among others.
In the past two decades red wine production, especially from the Spätburgunder (Pinot noir), has increased in the Mosel and throughout the German vignoble and has become of increasing interest to the international wine community. Because of the northerly location of the Mosel, the Riesling wines are often light, tending to lower alcohol, crisp and high in acidity, and often exhibit "flowery" rather than or in addition to "fruity" aromas. Its most common vineyard soil is derived in the main from various kinds of slate deposits, which tend to give the wines a transparent, mineralic aspect, that often exhibit great depth of flavor. In the current era of climate change much work has been done to improve and gain acceptance for completely dry ("Trocken") Rieslings in this region, so that most of the more famous makers have found acceptance for such wines, particularly in Europe." - info from Wikipedia.
