Crime
In 1996, TIME Magazine ranked Newark "The Most Dangerous City in the Nation."[35] By 2007, however, the city recorded a total of 99 homicides for the year, representing a significant drop from the record of 161 murders set in 1981.[36][37][38][39] The number of murders in 2008 dropped to 65, a decline of 30% from the previous year and the lowest in the city since 2002 when there was also 65 murders.[40]
In the 2006 survey, Newark was ranked as the 22nd most dangerous city in the United States, out of 371 cities included nationwide in the 13th annual Morgan Quitno survey.[41] In the 2007 rankings, now performed by CQ Press, Newark was the 20th most dangerous city in America of 378 cities surveyed.[42]

Nikon D810 HDR Photos Window Rock on Pfeiffer Beach Big Sur Sunset Sea Cave Sunset, Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Photography! 14-24mm Nikkor Wide Angle F/2.8 Lens!
The sun sets right through the sea cave at window rock in Big Sur in the winter time! It was stormy all day, but then the sun burst through as it cleared abit, before clouding over again!
Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography for Los Angeles Gallery Show !
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 1, 2011 - Cochon 555 is a one-of-a-kind traveling culinary competition and tasting event–five chefs, five pigs, five wine makers–to promote sustainable farming of heritage breed pigs. Each stop along the ten-city tour offers hard-working local farmers the opportunity to connect with like-minded agriculturalists, renowned chefs and the pork-loving public.
On July 24, All-Star Cochon at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will bring together 10 leading chefs, four star butchers and 14 different heritage breed pigs for a sample of the best tastes from three years of Cochon 555. The ten chefs –past winners and fan favorites – will work together to prepare a ‘snout-to-tail’ menu from heritage breed pigs sourced in their local markets and then flown to Las Vegas for this ultimate pork tasting.

MTA Service Specialists are preparing to perform at the rally.
Facebook group "1,000,000 People Against the NYC MTA Fare Hike" organized a rally against the second proposed fare hike within months. Speakers from Transportation Alternatives, NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign, Working Families Party, Keep New York Moving Coalition, COMMUTE as well as public figures and teachers spoke to a large crowd in Union Square Park today.
They are asking New Yorkers to reach out to government about what will be a historically unprecedented 25% rate hike, which possibly could be avoided if the State Senate comes back from vacation to address.

My thanks to Tim for running the revolving door that took kids from Smirkus, gave them experience in the big time and sent many back to mentor more Smirkus performers!

source : Wikipédia
La cathédrale Saint-Trophime (Trophimus) est une église romane de la ville d'Arles.
L’église Saint-Trophime, ancienne cathédrale et primatiale, est située place de la République à Arles ; c’est une des plus intéressantes réalisations de l’art roman. Elle présente une nef et des bas-côtés voûtés datant du milieu du xiie siècle. Un magnifique portail sculpté est réalisé vers 1180-1190 et rivalise avec celui de Saint-Gilles. L’ancien clocher est remplacé au début du xiiie siècle par la tour carrée actuelle dont le dernier étage a été refait au xviie siècle. Le chœur et le déambulatoire datent du xve siècle.
Annexé à cette église se trouve le fameux cloître de Saint-Trophime, le plus célèbre de Provence ; l’accès se fait par la cour du bâtiment situé à côté de l'église. Il date de la seconde moitié du xiie siècle pour deux galeries et du xive siècle pour les deux autres.
Le cloître Saint-Trophime de l’ancienne cathédrale d’Arles date du xiie siècle et xive siècle. L’emplacement de ce cloître est inhabituel car il n’est accolé ni à la nef ni au transept. Il communique avec le chœur au moyen d’un escalier de vingt-cinq marches. Ce cloître présente une forme approximativement rectangulaire de 28 m de long sur 25 m de large. Des dimensions comparables ne se retrouvent dans la région Provence que dans les cloîtres du Thoronet, de Sénanque ou de Montmajour.
L’édification du cloître débute peu après 1150 avec la construction de la galerie nord qui sera suivie de peu par celle de la galerie orientale. Il faudra attendre la fin du xive siècle pour voir l’achèvement du cloître avec les constructions de la galerie ouest puis de la galerie sud qui sera terminée sous l’épiscopat de Jean de Rochechouart (1390-1398). Il résulte de ces différentes périodes de construction, deux styles différents pour les galeries : le roman pour les galeries nord et est, et le gothique pour les galeries ouest et sud.
Le cloître traduit une recherche de la perfection plastique avec un remarquable équilibre des volumes et une grande qualité de la décoration sculptée.

Breakthrough Research with Dogs
When a dog is in pain, it affects the whole family.
Watch this video to learn about the latest research on anti-aging for dogs.
Health conscious consumers today are confused and frustrated. Their email and Facebook pages are filled with outlandish hype and often outright lies. At the same time, they’re aware that spectacular advances are being made in preventive and regenerative health care.
In 2048, 11 million Americans (including Stephen) will celebrate their 100th birthday.
But we all will be somewhere in 30 years.
The question is whether you will arrive at 2048 with a strong fit body and a sharp, creative mind.
The Healthy Skeptics & My2048.com combines the academic and research experience of an internationally celebrated biochemist with the clinical insights of a double board certified physician specializing in anti-aging.

Their Nutrition Detective course, taught at a UCLA extension course for nurses, has helped thousands of health seekers to separate the fads from the facts, and make truly informed choices.
There are only 24 hours in a day. If you waste your time following fads and fallacies, you are going to miss the true breakthroughs. Of course, you're also going to waste money. That's unfortunate, but not critical because you can always make more money. The real issue is time. You can't make more time. Thus My2048.com is devoted to giving you everything you need to know, and everything you need to do in order to achieve and maintain peak health in body and mind."

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

Herjólfsbærinn (Herjólfur´s farmhouse), Herjólfsdalur (Herjólfur's valley), Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands), Iceland
www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Iceland/Vestmannaeyj...
The farmhouse in Herjólfsdalur is a prototype of what might have been the oldest human habitation signs in Iceland.
The remains of the farm was discovered in 1924, when the first director of the National Museum was doing excavation work in Herjólfsdalur valley. He discovered 3 ruins; one long-house and two smaller houses. It seems like it was the long-house of Herjólfur Bárðarson, the first settler of Vestmannaeyjar islands. So the old remains might date back to the early 9th century.
An extensive digging took place in Herjólfsdalur from 1971-1983 - being delayed by the volcanic eruption in Heimaey in Vestmannaeyjar islands in 1973. The remains of 8 houses were discovered from 4-5 building periods. The conclusion was that the oldest remains might date back to the 8th or even 7th century. Iceland was considered to be settled around 874, so this is controversial.
In 2006 a farm was built in Herfjólfsdalur in the liking of the farm that stood here in the 10th century. The farm is a long-house and an outhouse, built with rocks and turf.
___________________________________________
Herjólfsdalur is also the site of Þjóðhátíð, an annual Icelandic camping festival:
On the last weekend of July or on the first weekend of August, some 10,000 people flock to the only inhabited Westmann island for a music festival. Scandinavian bands like Sigur Rós take to the stage, but the music is perhaps the least remarkable aspect of the event.
The stage is in the shadow of a volcano, which last erupted in 1973. The chilly climate induces an extreme degree of heart- and hide-warming camaraderie, with singsongs rolling across the site between sets. At night, the festival hotfoots it to the huge bonfire halfway up the volcano.

In Iceland, last weekend of July or on the first weekend of August, Icelanders have their annual shopkeeper's holiday, named Verslunarmannahelgi. The most known as well as the biggest one is Þjóðhátíð, located in Westman Islands, an island outside the mainland with the capacity of around 4200 people.
At Þjóðhátið people get together in one purpose; to have fun and enjoy life over the weekend. It is very important that you had some sleep before entering the island since sleep is only possible occasionally as you will be busy attending this 24/7 party over the weekend as well as the camping place is located at the heart of the action.
Although some people look at this festival as a music one, some even say that the music doesn't matter; it's all about the atmosphere. There are three highlights during the weekend, beginning with the unbelievable bonfire at the Friday evening, followed up by an incredible firework exhibition on the Saturday night. Finally, the last but not the least, the Sunday sing-along event with Árni Johnsen, one of Westman island´s famous persons, who gathers people to sit in the hillside and sing along with him as he goes through Icelandic folk songs. As midnight approaches, the atmosphere rises to something indescribable and hits its peak when the valley lightens up in visual highlights, which is an eruption of red torches, representing the island's volcano flames.
One can not describe the festival without mentioning the people of Westman Islands. You would expect the residents to be less than tolerant when the massive invasion begins but the truth is that you will discover people one of their kind. Hospitality such as theirs can not be found anywhere else in the world. As the locals have their own white "house" tents in the middle of the valley, all in white, guests are invited for their so-called private parties inside of them where the residents will welcome you gladly with smoked puffin or homemade brownies swallowed down with something appropriated. Remember not to be afraid to ask for more, they are very lavish.
Þjóðhátíð is for each and every one of us as long as we are looking for the greatest party ever, and luckily for us Icelanders, that happens annually in Westman Islands.
