This small breviary, having more that five hundred folio, is extraordinary for its length, considering it is the summer portion of a two-volume breviary for the use of Liège. The manuscript was completed for ecclesiastical use at Cathedral of Notre-Dame and St. Lambert in Liège in 1420 circa. The attribution is evidenced for instance by the Petitions to the congregation of this Cathedral (fols. 114v-117v), as well as the armorial shield of the family of Surlet de Chokier of Liège represented at the opening of the Psalms. The manuscript has a modest, but interesting, decoration with historiated and non figural initials that mark the liturgical texts. The folios opening the major divisions of the texts, display a border decoration with natural motifs and angels playing instruments. The most notable pictorial effect is probably found in the initials inhabited by transparent figures on rich blue ground. The technique is visible, for instance, on fol. 156r with the gold monstrance hold by the translucent angels for the feast of the Corpus Christi.
Seventeenth-century Flemish stiff-board vellum; sides bent to form 8 mm flap at fore-edge; rebacked; resewn on four double cords; gilt fillet frame, corner fleurons, centered oval formed of gilt laurel; gilt armorial shield inside oval surmounted by crest with horned man, flanked by monogram R C; modern endbands; brown leather fore-edge tabs.

Second Alarm Brush fire in LACoFD 149's District, N/B 5-Fwy North of Parker Road. The fire started by a motorcycle fire which spread to the brush. LACoFD Copter 16 still alarmed the fire and reported 4-5 acres and ended with approx. 500 acres scorched. Five Helicopters (3 from LACoFD and 2 from LAFD) along with 3 air tankers fought the fire.
I had read about this chain recently in Inc. magazine, so one of the things I wanted to do while we were on our vacation was to sample their fare. While they've got franchises in 40 states, I've never seen one in my regular travels, and I ain't going out of my way for a hamburger). I figured we were heading into their prime market so there might be a chance. As luck would have it, there was one right next to the hotel we stayed at in Williamsburg.
Frankly, and I know this is heresy to foodies, I was underwhelmed. The fries were OK, but not overwhelming. If you're gonna have greasy fries, I want to see 'em dripping in grease. Although these did come close. Having bottles of malt vinegar at the condiment counter was a step in the right direction. And I think it's hilarious that they show the source of the potatoes on a sign. Like, can anyone really tell? Would you call up the store in the morning, ask for the source of the potatoes and then make your luncheon location decision based on that?
The hamburger was pretty good, but not the greatest. It was juicy, I'll say that. Frankly, what I really liked was the choices of stuff. I selected grilled onions and green peppers. That was a combination I've never had before and it made the hamburger. Now I just have to figure out a way for the local restaurants around here to give me grilled green peppers.
They make a big deal out of the bun, but it just fell apart, so I wasn't impressed. And hand shaped hamburgers? Who cares?
They also make a big deal about cleanliness. Kate said the restroom wasn't particularly clean, and she noticed that the person cleaning up the dining area would put her hands into the garbage can and push the garbage down. Then, using the same gloved hands, she would refill the napkin dispenser and handle all of the other stuff on the condiment area. There is a reason they wear the gloves. Food workers frequently don't get this and it drives me crazy.
OK, all you foodies can scream. But I just wasn't that impressed. It was better than your average burger. And I'd eat there again if I came across one. But I'm not going to make a special effort.
I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars (the extra star is for the grilled green peppers).

In the Rumbur Valley, North-west Frontier Province, Pakistan.
The Kalasha or Kalash, are a Dardic Indo-Aryan indigenous people residing in the Chitral District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. They speak the Kalasha language, from the Dardic family of the Indo-Aryan branch. They are considered unique among the peoples of Pakistan. They are also considered to be Pakistan's smallest ethnoreligious group, practising a religion which some scholars characterise as a form of animism, and other academics as "a form of ancient Hinduism".
The Kalash are considered to be an indigenous people of Asia, with their ancestors migrating to Afghanistan from a distant place in South Asia, which the Kalash call “Tsiyam” in their folk songs and epics. Some of the Kalash traditions consider the various Kalash people to have been migrants or refugees. They are also considered to have been either descendants of foreign people, Gandhari people and the Indians of eastern Afghanistan. Based on their shared genetic drift, it is considered that they may be an ancient drifted North Eurasian stock.
The Kalash of Chitral have maintained their own separate cultural traditions.

The FN Five-seven, trademarked as the Five-seveN, is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. The pistol is named for its 5.7-mm (.224 in) bullet diameter, and the trademark capitalization style is intended to emphasize the manufacturer's initials—FN.
The Five-seven pistol was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon and the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge. The P90 was introduced in 1990, and the Five-seven was introduced in 1998 as a pistol using the same 5.7×28mm ammunition. Developed as a companion pistol to the P90, the Five-seven shares many of its design features: it is a lightweight polymer-based weapon with a large magazine capacity, ambidextrous controls, low recoil, and the ability to penetrate soft body armor when using certain cartridge types.
The Five-seven is currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 countries, such as Canada, France, Greece, India, Poland, Spain, and the United States. In the United States, the Five-seven is in use with numerous law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service. In the years since the pistol's introduction to the civilian market in the United States, it has also become increasingly popular with civilian shooters.
As part of its public relations campaign, the European Recovery Programme sponsored an international poster contest on the theme, “Intra-European Co-operation for a Better Standard of Living”. Over ten thousand entries from thirteen countries were submitted in local country competitions from which the twenty-five award-winning posters were selected. Prominent graphic arts experts, each representing a different Marshall Plan country, made up the jury. First prize went to Reijn Ddirksen from The Netherlands.

So Long Block E
It’s been twenty-five years since Block E was demolished. City officials celebrated with a party to kick off the razing.
I wanted to explore the de-construction of a space rich with history, so I set out to document Block E with hardhat and large format camera. After gaining permission from the wrecking company, I began photographing shortly after the fence went up around the block. As I recall, the city of Minneapolis would not allow a wrecking ball to be used, because it would interfere too much with downtown traffic. It took almost a year to level the block using a backhoe, which gave me an opportunity to move through the remains as layers were slowly peeled back by the crew.
The triptych shows Hennepin Avenue in 1988, between Sixth and Seventh Streets, facing east. The interiors reflect a once lively McDonalds, the Hairpolice salon, the elegant Academy Theater and the Rifle Sport Gallery.
With the 4x5 camera, I could capture the detail revealed by the demolition process. As I worked, I thought about the life that had permeated these buildings. It was a migration of sorts, a game of musical chairs if you will. And when the music stopped, everyone had to go.
As you gaze at these photographs, you are standing in the place where they were made a quarter century ago. So long Block E.

Five different Mosin Nagants line up to unleash their powerful 7.62x54R rounds down rage. Left to right, Nathan, Derick, Myself, Matt, and Pete. The Mosins ranged from 1926 to 1944 models and all likely saw service in WWII. I am firing my 1942 model, and Matt is firing my 1926. The bolts were sticky at first, but got smooth later. I shot about 500 round this day!!
