The Greek goddess Artemis as worshipped in Ephesus was identified with the Roman goddess Diana, but in this form she probably originated as a much older mother goddess. The protuberances are usually assumed to be profligate breasts, but some interpret them as sarcrificed bull testes (which would explain the lack of nipples).

In the Bible (Acts 19) there is a discription of a demonstration by followers of this goddess Artemis against St. Paul who had been preaching to the Ephesians against the traditional gods:

'About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in no little business for the craftsmen. He called them together, along with the workmen in related trades, and said: "Men, you know we receive a good income from this business. And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited, and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty."

When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia, and rushed as one man into the theater. Paul wanted to appear before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him. Even some of the officials of the province, friends of Paul, sent him a message begging him not to venture into the theater.

The assembly was in confusion: Some were shouting one thing, some another. Most of the people did not even know why they were there. The Jews pushed Alexander to the front, and some of the crowd shouted instructions to him. He motioned for silence in order to make a defense before the people. But when they realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours: "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: "Men of Ephesus, doesn't all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and not do anything rash. You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it." After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.'

Itaquera – Arena São Paolo

In a big city like São Paolo, the mixture of all kinds of classes is a daily event, and we can see it for example in the subway, with people travelling from Estudantes station (East of SP) to Trianon MASP station in Paulista street, which is one of the most important streets in this city, and the journey takes almost 2 hours in a full train in rush hour, with people using this train every day you can imagine the stress and how tired they must be when they finally arrive to their work… and then return home… after been working at least 8 hours.

Well, this photo is about one Brazilian soccer team, the Corinthians team, and acording to local research the “Corinthians” has the second biggest quantity of followers in Brasil with almost 13% of the national preference, and in São Paolo is the most popular.

His greatest rival is the “Palmeiras” because of the “Derbi Paulista”.

The Corinthians received a tax incentive from São Paulo Prefecture of R$ 420 milhões in order to achieve the goal of finish the stadium.

Although you really cannot tell from the pic, the LED in the follower is actually a tri-color (blue/green/red.) When the LED is on, you can still make out the circuits on the surface and it looks like the contours of the real thing. Here's a link:

Rule-Follower by NatalieMaynor

Early this morning, before the sun had reared its head, I was in the garage being a rule-follower as I taped over my political bumper stickers since I was hoping to park within 150 feet of the polling place where I spent thirteen hours today (as a poll watcher). If my car had been even six inches longer, I would not have been able to park that close. At 6:30 a.m. cars were parked at least half a mile away (before the 7 a.m. poll opening). But I managed to create a place for my wonderful little Honda Fit. (I took this picture hours later. There was nothing like this amount of "blank space" around the car when I parked this morning.) I am happy to report that I pulled off the tape tonight and found that both my Obama sticker and my Mississippi Democratic Club sticker were still intact. (Picture taken with cell phone.)
