Pinara (Lycian: Pilleñni, presumably from the adjective "round"; Greek: τὰ Πίναρα, formerly Artymnesus or Artymnesos according to one account) was a large ancient city of Lycia at the foot of Mount Cragus (now Mount Babadağ), and not far from the western bank of the River Xanthos, homonymous with the ancient city of Xanthos (now Eşen Stream).
The remains of several ancient temples can be seen in Pinara, as well as rock tombs including one "royal tomb", an upper and a lower acropolis, a theatre, an odeon, an agora and a church. The name Pinara has somewhat been assimilated to the name of the present-day village of Minare, half an hour below the ruins and depending Fethiye district of Muğla Province, Turkey
The city, though not often mentioned by ancient writers, appears from its vast and beautiful ruins to have been, as Strabo asserts, one of Lycia's largest, its chief port city until the harbor silted up to form the reed-filled wetlands of today.[2]
Yet another rare mention of the city in ancient sources is in connection with the help it provided, along with several other Lycian cities, to Pixodarus of Caria. Pinara was a member of the Lycian League, in which it held three votes. The city surrendered to Alexander the Great in 334 BCE. After Alexander's death, the city fell to the kingdom of Pergamum. Pinara became a Roman city when Pergamum was willed by its last king Attalus III to the Roman Republic in 133 BCE. The city enjoyed prosperity during Roman rule, but was badly damaged by earthquakes in 141 and 240 CE. In the first occurrence, the city is recorded to have received a contribution from Opramoas for the repair of public buildings.[citation needed]
Pinara was Christianized early. Five bishops are known: Eustathius, who signed the formula of Acacius of Cæsarea at the Council of Seleucia in 359; Heliodorus, who signed the letter from the bishops of Lycia to the emperor Leo I the Thracian (458); Zenas, present at the Trullan Council (692); Theodore, at the Second Council of Nicaea (787); Athanasius, at the synod that reinstated Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople (the Photian Council) in 879. Pinara was the birthplace of Nicolas of Myra. Under repeated pressure from invading forces, the city lost its inhabitants in the ninth century.
There was a cult of Pandarus, the Lycian hero of the Trojan War, in Pinara, which led some sources to conclude that he was a native of the city.[1]
According to the Lycian history of Menecrates[disambiguation needed], quoted by Stephanus of Byzantium[2][3] the city was a colony of Xanthos, its original name would be Artymnesos. This name would have preceded the Lycian language name Pinara, derived from the form "Pilleñni" or "Pinale" meaning a "round hill" or simply "round",[2] based on a hypothesis of interchange of liquid consonants.[citation needed] The town is indeed situated on such a great round mass of rock and a more or less circular crag towers over the ruins. Another source, Panyassis, also mentions an eponymous founder by name Pinarus, son of Tremiles or Termilus, and this account is viewed by some sources as unsubstantial as the rest relating to the precedence of names.
Scientific discovery
Pinara's ruins were identified by Sir Charles Fellows.[2] From amidst the ancient city, he says,[5] rises a singular round rocky cliff (the pinara of the Lycians), literally speckled all over with tombs. Beneath this cliff lie the ruins of the extensive and splendid city. The theater is in a very perfect state; all the seats are remaining, with the slanting sides towards the proscenium, as well as several of its doorways. The walls and several of the buildings are of the Cyclopean masonry, with massive gateways formed of three immense stones. The tombs are innumerable, and the inscriptions are in the Lycian characters, but Greek also occurs often on the same tombs. Some of these rock-tombs are adorned with fine and rich sculptures.
The Christian bishopric of Pinara, no longer a residential see, is included in the Catholic Church' list of titular sees

CHAPTER FIVE (5. Landing)
It had been a few months since they left the base. Tazznina was hobbling around with her guns loaded and ready to be fired, Damian was busy charting were they were, Ian and the others were keeping a look out for land while Keagan and Andrew kept a close eye on Tazznina. They had finally spotted their new base, it was on the coast of Africa's East side in Senegal. Hardly anyone was silent or idle. They landed and were met by the villagers in the land. No one could really understand them so Damian spoke to them in French, only one other member of the group, Ian, could speak a little of the language. Damian's hair had grown a little longer, but was still a curly mess, and he had a little stubble. He spent about an hour later he came back to the ship. "They say it's about two hours away from here if we go South in a van. Ready?" They all nodded and started loading the gear into three vans. Ian, Damian, and Tazznina were in one car with the hunting gear; Andrew, Keagan, and Richard shared one with the tents and food; while Richard and Joseph carried the other gear. They had driven for about two hours with Ian's car in the lead, the scenery hardly changed at all.
"Do you know their native language?" Asked Tazznina, slowly turning her map around again.
"Nope, they also speak French. I learned enough to ask them where it was, we also used a heck of a lot of signs." Said Damian, his dark eyes were looking at the map Tazznina was holding. "You hold it this way. Take a left!" Ian nearly jumped as he heard Damian's voice, then he turned the car to the left.
"DO.NOT.EVER.DO.THAT.AGAIN." Ian yelled to the backseat. Damian climbed into the front where Tazznina and Ian were, he sat in the middle. "Damian, I mean it. One more yell like that and you're out of this car, got it?"
"Oh, alright Ian." Damian laughed a little, Tazznina handed him the map. "TAKE A RIGHT TURN! IAN TURN TO THE RIGHT!" Ian turned to the right.
"Damian-"
"What? You said not to yell like I didn't yell, a shouted."
"Argh... Damian?"
"Yes, Ian?"
"Shut up." Said Ian with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Damian nodded. A few seconds later he spoke again.
"Take another left." His face was bright and had the biggest grin imaginable. "You never said how long I had to be quiet."
"Damian," said Ian.
"Yes?"
"You are impossible."
"I know I am, and you're fun to scare. You were about to miss the first two turns." They all laughed. Keagan called them on the walkie-talkie.
"Yes, this is Yorkie to the future of killing monsters speaking. Over." Said Damian, who had been given the nickname of 'Yorkie' on the ship. Tazznina and Ian sighed.
"Haha, nice pun. Over."
"Why thank you, Gigi. What is it? Over."
"Who the heck is driving your car? Over."
"Millennium Falcon, why? Over."
"Is he drunk? Over."
"No, Millennium Falcon isn't drunk. Over."
"Then why was your car making a bunch of sharp turns? It almost tipped over. Over."
"That was me, I was telling him to turn. I yelled it, then shouted. This last time I- LEFT TURN! TURN LEFT! Sorry, telling him to turn left again. Over." Over the Talkie, Keagan was laughing hard.
"Be careful! See you when you stop. Over and out."
"Damian Neil York, stop it." Growled Ian.
"Or else?"
"Or else I'll wring your neck after I pull over, then I'll burn your collection of monster journals you wrote."
"I think you mean it, I'll stop now- Take a right and stop the car." Damian said in his normal voice. Tazznina was just overlooking what they were doing, then she called the boys on the Walkie-Talkies.
"Take a left then stop the car when we stop. Over and out."

I’m wearing five necklaces today. For the record, I was wearing seven, but I took two off.
Beefy thought I should title this post: “Mr. T is a black man with a Mohawk.” Because that’s what I responded with when he told me I resembled Mr. T. Of course, I know it was the necklaces that drew the comparison. However, I’ll point out, once again, that I showed a great deal of restraint when accessorizing today. According to Wikipedia, it took Mr. T an hour to put on his jewelry. It took me less than a minute.

After three to five sheets, you'll find that your paper is getting thin and maybe being a brat about releasing from the screen. Time to add more pulp. This batch is white with some brown paper bag thrown in.
Sour Cream & Other Delights, RCA Victor, 1966. The Frivolous Five was a deliberately "inept" novelty jazz band, formed in the mid-1960s by veteran musicians Jane Sager (trumpet), Naomi "Pee Wee" Preble (trombone), Jean Lutey (drums), Frances Rosu (clarinet) and Rose Parenti (accordion).
Sager and Preble had previously played together in the band of Ina Ray Hutton. I think Rose Parenti went on to play Sister Alma, the piano-playing nun in the movie Sister Act.
The Frivolous Five made several TV appearances, guesting on CBS' Hollywood Talent Scouts in 1965, on NBC's Dean Martin Summer Show in 1967, and on CBS' The Jonathan Winters Show in 1968.
Comedian Cliff Arquette, aka Charley Weaver, may have had some involvement with the group. (Either that, or his appearance as a fellow guest on all three shows mentioned is a remarkable coincidence.)
