I noticed this in the corner of one of my pictures, and it made me laugh.
The bus driver is clapping the flame on as it was "kissed" between two torches right in front of him. Good place to be stopped by the police!
Joking aside, Arriva were actually supporting the event, operating the park and ride services to and from Stoke Park, and did a very good job of it.

Brian Scudamore was born in San Francisco and at the tender age of 7, moved to Vancouver. Fast forward 10 years and Brian was in line at a fast food drive thru - behind a truck full of junk. Suddenly, it hit him - he could start a business hauling away junk. Brian cashed in his savings, bought a used pickup and started a company called 'The Rubbish Boys.' The idea was simple, you call up 'The Rubbish Boys', they show up at your house and take away pretty much anything you want. Old mattresses, sofas, computers, washing machines, clothing - you name it. Well, Brian's idea took off. He changed the name to 1-800-Got -Junk and over the next 15 years over 300 franchises opened across North America, and now Australia. Now, Brian's company is the largest junk removal service in the world. And he says up to 60 per cent of the junk is recycled, reused, or donated.

So Dylan has requested that I sew him a new bag; it's going to be shaped like a cross between a doctor's bag and a bowling bag, and we're really excited about it. He picked out this Ruby Star Spring print himself (great choice) and even suggested that we/I might incorporate some leather into the bag. I bought a beautiful piece of leather (my first leather project!) for the bag base, trim and possibly strap -- I'll have to be really really careful working with it, I think!
But here comes the tricky part: lining. I had in mind Liberty of London's Ebs print all along because it's very subtle but with fine lines and a tie-like pattern, and I think that the somewhat metallic colours will go well with the brass hardware and leather on the bag.
On the other hand, a half-yard of fabric will be enough for the lining, and I got to thinking about these Kumiko Fujita half-yards that I bought from Sew Fresh Fabrics awhile back. For these two calendar prints, I like how bold they are -- much like the exterior of the bag -- and how they're roughly in the same colour family as the outside. But then again, the colours are not perfect matches -- so isn't that a little bit distracting? And is the calendar print just too bold here?
What do I dooo? Is there an obvious winner/loser here?
How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many times must a man look up,
before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

"I exist in the relations. Others create me and I am a reflection of others. I wanna be part of you - your body, your moment, your story, and your life. Once I met him. This encounter is still a memorable moment of something that moves me forward, let me dance and spin around. His body stucked to mine and we were breathing together. I have been embraced from inside, I became part of him. We were together, once and for ever."

Roberto Burle Marx (August 4, 1909, São Paulo – June 4, 1994, Rio de Janeiro) was a Brazilian landscape architect (as well as a painter, print maker, ecologist, naturalist, artist and musician) whose designs of parks and gardens made him world famous. He is accredited with having introduced modernist landscape architecture to Brazil. He was known as a modern nature artist and a public urban space designer.
Roberto Burle Marx's father was an emigrant from the city Trier in Germany. His mother was raised from an upper class family in Brazil. Burle Marx's first landscaping inspirations came while studying painting in Germany, where he often visited the Dahlem Botanical Gardens and first learned about Brazil's native flora. Upon returning to Brazil in 1930, he began collecting plants in and around his home. He went to school at the National School of Fine Arts in Rio in 1930 where he focused on visual arts under Leo Putz and Candido Portinari. While in school he associated with several of Brazil’s future leaders in architecture and botanists who continued to be of significant influence in his personal and professional life. One of these was his professor, Brazilian Modernism’s Lucio Costa, the architect and planner who lived down the street from Burle. In 1932, Burle Marx designed his first landscape for a private residence by the architects Lucio Costa and Gregori Warchavchik. This project, the Schwartz house was the beginning of a collaboration with Costa which was enriched later by Oscar Niemeyer who designed the Brazilian Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. Niemeyer also designed the Pampulha complex in 1942 which Marx designed gardens for.
In 1949 he acquired the 365,000m² estate Barra de Guaratiba (just outside of Rio de Janeiro). Burle Marx began taking expeditions into the Brazilian rain forest with botanists, landscape architects, architects and other researchers to gather plant specimens. He learned to practice studying plants in situ from the botanist Henrique Lahmeyer de Mello Barreto and established his garden, nursery and tropical plant collection at Guaratiba. This property was donated to the Brazilian government in 1985 and became a national monument. Now called Sítio Roberto Burle Marx, under the direction of IPHAN-Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional / Ministério da Cultura, it houses over 3,500 species of plants. The house was rebuilt in a valley on the site of a garden house belonging to the original plantation estate.
Roberto Burle Marx founded a landscape studio in 1955 and in the same year he founded a landscape company, called Burle Marx & Cia. Ltda.
Much of his work has a sense of timelessnes and perfection. His aesthetics were often nature based, for example, never mixing flower colours, utilisation of big groups of the same specimen, using native plants and making a rocky field into a relaxing garden. He was very interested in each plant's character and what effect that has on the whole garden. He opened an office in Caracas, Venezuela in 1956 and started working with architects Jose Tabacow and Haruyoshi Ono in 1968. Marx worked on commissions thorough out Brazil, Argentina, in Chile and many other South American countries, France, South Africa, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. Additionally his artwork can be found displayed throughout the city of Rio de Janeiro “it is an open-air museum of works displaying his unmistakable style, one wholly his own” (Montero 2001 p. 29). Roberto Burle Marx’s 62 year career ended when he died June 4, 1994 two months before his 85th birthday.
He spent a lot of time in the Brazilian forests where he was able to study and explore. This enabled him to add significantly to the botanical sciences, by discovering new rocks and plants for example. At least 30 plants bear his name. Marx was also involved in efforts to protect and conserve the rain forest from the destructive commercial activities of deforestation for bananas and other crops and clear cutting of timber.
Marx’s work “can be summarized in four general design concepts—the use of native tropical vegetation as a structural element of design, the rupture of symmetrical patterns in the conception of open spaces, the colorful treatment of pavements, and the use of free forms in water features” (Vaccarino 2000, p. 17). This approach is exemplified by the Copacabana Beach promenade, where native sea breeze resistant trees and palms appear in groupings along Avenida Atlantica. These groupings punctuate Portugese stone mosaics which form a giant abstract painting where no section along the promenade is the same. This “painting” is viewed from the balconies of hotels, and offers an ever changing view for those driving along the beach. The mosaics continue the entire two and a half mile distance of the beach. The water feature, in this case, is of course the ocean and beach, which is bordered by a 30 foot wide continuous scallop patterned mosaic walk (Eliovson 1991; Montero 2001). Copacabana Beach is “the most famous in Brazil” (Eliovson 1991 p. 103).
Seriously. I leaned on the railing while I was talking to him, down in the yard. And he wasn't listening to me. So I watched where his eyes were going. That's when I started laughing and held out the camera to snap a shot. The wind was crazy and blowing my hair all around.
I couldn't get him in the arm's length shot, so I had him move closer... which is where the next photo comes into play.

His name is Bohemond, but we call him Bo. He is a 1 year old harlequin Great Dane. He is a certified therapy dog and I take him with me everywhere I can! We go shopping, we go to the beach, we go out to restaurants, and we take him with us on vacations! It's nice that the bed is washable for the events when it gets sandy after a day at the beach. We also volunteer at Moffitt Cancer Center and the commute is about 45 minutes! The comfy bed is awesome for him to be able to relax and sleep on the long drive! He puts his booty on the bed and uses it as a seat while he looks out the window and will sleep on the bed when he gets tired. I absolutely love how the bed fits exactly perfectly in my Ford Explorer too! Bo is a big boy so it is nice to know the bed keeps him comfortable while traveling! Thank you!
Monday, 6 April 2015: Chhokang Paro (3030 m) to Chumling (2385 m)
Two treats to start the day, before we’d even left Chhokang Paro: excellent cafetiere coffee at the Tsum Valley Cafe (chairs in the courtyard of a family house near to Namgyal’s) and a group of monkeys sunning them selves on rocks in the fields on the path out of the village.
Retracing our steps back down the Tsum Valley, Anthony and Hazel took the direct path to Chumling (चुम्लिंग) with Tsering, while Val, Namgyal and I took a more roundabout route distributing LED solar lights to homes in the remote communities of Gho, Renjam / Rainjam and Domje (Tumje / तुम्जे). Tampa and saag at the final farmhouse - very welcome. Tea offered everywhere.
Our path entailed lots of ups and downs, stretches along the banks of the Sardi Khola / Syar Khola / Tsum Chu river and rising back up to terraced fields and suspension bridges traversing the high steep slopes of the hills above.
Calling in at the gompa in Domje we met a Tibetan nun on her way to Mu who'd crossed the 5000m Nangpa La on her journey from Tibet.
Lazy afternoon in Chumling, and opportunity to enjoy this relatively large village in the sunshine and to gaze across the valley at Ripchet, a long village clinging to a narrow ledge.
Dinner in the weaving rooms again, and a thank you dance and song from the village ladies.
A few drops of rain - in KTM the forecast had been for bad weather across the whole of Nepal on 7/8 April. We were keeping our fingers crossed....
For an excellent map see Günter Seyfferth’s Die Berge des Himalaya (The mountains of Himalaya). His annotated photos of the mountains are especially helpful.

Faith leaders and concerned citizens gathered outside the Suffolk House of Corrections to publicly ask ICE officials to release Francisco Rodriguez, an MIT janitor whose son Josué Mateo Rodriguez was born on Monday evening in an emergency delivery. ICE officials offered no response to a request by Mr. Rodriguezâs lawyers for his 24-hour release from detention as his wife underwent labor.
ICE detained Mr. Rodriguez at his last check-in on July 13, despite his compliance with their requests. The federal government was prevented from deporting him by stays issued on July 14 by the Massachusetts District Court and the Board of Immigration Appeals.
Francisco Rodriguez has lived in the U.S. since 2006. He has lived in the greater Boston area for 10 years, specifically in Chelsea for the last 6 years. He is the father of two American citizen children, 10-year-old Mellanie and a 5-year-old Jessica, with a third child on the way next month. For the past five years, he has been a janitor at MIT. In addition, he runs his own carpet cleaning company. He is a member of his childrenâs school parent committee, of the community organization Chelsea Collaborative, of the Church Tabernaculo biblico seguidores de Jesus, and a union member of 32BJ SEIU (Service Employees International Union) at MIT. Mr. Rodriguez has no criminal record, pays his taxes, and contributes to his community, church, childrenâs school and workplace.
When Mr. Rodriguez arrived to the country, he applied for asylum in 2007. He was denied asylum in December of 2009, and his appeal was denied in July of 2011. He was later granted prosecutorial discretion and has received a Stay of Removal every year since that time. However this past month, when Francisco applied for a Stay, it was denied. If ICE grants Mr. Rodriguez a Stay of Removal, he can continue to work, take care of his family, and contribute to our community. In addition, next year Mr. Rodriguezâs mother, who is a legal permanent resident, will become a citizen. Soon afterwards, a pathway to residency will open for Francisco when his mother files a petition on his behalf.

I must have sent him some of my many Star Trek-related drawings, as well, because he thanks me for them in this response. I was always drawing the Enterprise, or the phasers and communicators, or the cast, or anything else having to do with the show. I must have also told him how I convinced my teacher to allow me and my fellow 1st graders to write letters to the local channel that ran the syndicated episodes (circa 1973) . The channel had announced they were moving the nightly airing from 6 PM to 9PM, which was past my bedtime. Our letters did the trick, and I'll never forget the promos which aired sometime after, announcing how the show would continue to air at 6PM.
